vided into two classes called the Four Hundred" and the Two Hun dred," and it is understood that in this case the high moguls belong to the Two Hundred" class.
 The anticipated action of the local anti-saloon league which was report ed in The Republican some days ago, will be started in the near future. It is stated that the evidence necessary to convict has been secured and the league is now waiting the return of Assistant District Attorney Flannigan, when the warrants will be served. For many months the saloon keepers of Bisbee have felt themselves above the law and have been ignoring many of the provisions of the law. During a large part of this time the league has been gathering evidence and it is very probable that the proposed actions will result in closing a num- Der of the places.
 Tonight at the Presbyterian church a humane society is expected to be organized. There have been many complaints regarding persons riding and driving at rapid rates up and down Tombstone Canyon without any evident regard for the rights of the pedestrians. Inasmuch as the city of Bisbee has no sidewalks and both persons and animals are forced to use the same right Of-way it is only right that the existing regulations be enforced. Also complaint has been made because of the cruelty of many Mexicans to their burros. Many times they are loaded with six or more sacks of wood and are driven through the streets when it is plain to see they are heavily overloaded. It is understood that this new society will take immediate steps to prevent such cruelty in the future.
 Courtland, the prosperous new camp in the northern part of Cochise county is experiencing very dry weather at the present time because of the fact that two railroad construction camps are now situated there and the law forbids the licensing of saloons within six miles of a railroad grading camp. Sheriff White is in receipt of num- Der of applications from people who desire to open saloons in or n9ar Courtland but he is prohibited by law from granting licenses to them.
 However the thirsty citizen of that camp can take courage for both rail- road companies have promised to have the roads finished and in operation be- fore the middle of the summer.
 It is quite likely that a movement will be started in the near future to get a bill through the legislature al- lowing corporations owning property in the county to sign petitions asking for the nemOval of county seats. Un- der the decision of Judge Doan which was given some months ago when Bis bee citizens presented petition ask ing for the removal of the court house to Bisbee corporations have no right to sign such petition. This means that it is impossible to secure the removal Of the court house because without the signatures of the corporations the nee esssary one-third of the taxable wealth cannot be represented as now required by law. It may be that a delegation of business men from Bisbee will visit the capital to urge their views upon the various members of the legislature.
 The new office building for the Calumet & Arizona company which is being erected at Warren by Con tractor hroeger IS rapidly nearing completion and when completed will be one of the finest office buildings in this district. A number of other business houses are planned for War ren in the near future.
 C. w. Holms left yesterday for Courtland with a wagon load of of flee furniture and it is understood that he will open a law office at that point and also take care of the COurtland end of the Southwest ern Improvement company's business. The telephone telegraph line of this company from Bsbee to Courtland is now nearing completion. This company also owns the line con meeting Hachita and Sylvanite. Holms previous to his connection with the newly organized Southwestern Im- prOvement company was operator in this city for the Postal Telegraph company and it is stated that that is the reason why he was requested to resign his position. He now ex- poets to give his entire time to law and the workings of the new line.
