down from Tucson yesterday after noon made an awful howl because the pretty singer had them stop the train at Mohawk Summit while she took a bath. The men were tired and hungry and when they got to Yuma they searched the language over for profanity to fitly express their feelings. Brakey, the next time you take pretty actress through Mohawk persuade her to don a bathing suit and take a sand bath. Then you will not take the delay so hard.
 Phoenix Republican: A cigar shaped, perpendicular balloon came floating over the northeastern part of town yesterday and caused some comment. The balloon appeared to be about forty feet long. It was shaped like Zeppelin's great air ship, but instead of riding in a horizontal position the axes point. ed to the earth and the stars. It went up to great height several times and appeared to be drawn down after each ascent. It was surmised by some that the proprie- tor of the balloon was engaged in photographing the Salt River val ley.
 Tucson Star: That the Mexican consulate at Tucson is likely to be- come a second class office shortly after the first of the year, was the statement made yesterday by Con- sul Arturo NJ. Elias, on the occasion of his return from ten weeks trip in Old Mexico, New Mexico and Texas. The Tucson office is at present the only third class office in the territory, the others all be- ing of the fourth class. Additional prestige and more distinction will naturally come with the trans forming of the local consulate to that of the second class and such transformation would be of un- usual benefit to Tucson.
 Phoenix Republican: lame s O'Neill, a tourist, was mislead by the poem, My Arizona Bed Room" He arrived in town yesterday the possessor of a big red blanket which apparently constituted all of his worldly wealth with the exception of the clothing he had on. O'Neill is not night bird. Early in the afternoon, long before it was dark and people were thinking of going to bed, O'Neill prepared his couch at the corner of Center and Adams street. He found box containing a lot of excelsior, which he spread over the softest place in the side walk he could find and covering il with his blanket lay down. His bed room was pointed out to ar officer, who put roof over his head at the city jail.

 Yuma Enterprise: John Middle sky, the gigantic Cocopa, is back in Yuma again after an absence of several months. While absent he visited Los Angeles, a number of beach resorts, and several towns in Arizona, going as far east as Bisbee. He found employment at several places as an attraction in one and another advertising scheme and was on exhibition at the Chutes Park, Los Angeles. The trip proved to be successful financially, as the roll brought back we'll testifes. John enjoys travel and the atten- tion his prodigious size commands always obtains for him lucrative employment in shows and adver- Using enterprises, but his love for home and the warm sunshine of the Lower Colorado region will not permit him to remain away for any great length of time.

Kirkland is now "jingling" in his official pocket a draft or some other bill of exchange for $67 ,67S.45, received from the Santa Fe railroad com- pany for taxes on the main line property in this territory. The road, formerly the Atlantic and Pacific, was built under grant that car ried exemption from taxation, but when the property came into the possession of the Santa Fe, through a process made possible by con- gressional action, it was decided by congress and so enacted that the property thereafter should pay an annual flat tax of $175 per mile to the territory for the benefit of the counties it passes through. The distribution to each county in ac- cordance with the mileage is as follows; Apache, $9, ,534; Coconino, $1S,965.27; Mohave, $18,S79.17; Navajo, $9,7O2.36; Yavapai, $1O,- 59765; total, $67, ,67S.45.

that 1t will be placed on the Milwauk-

by leaps and bounds and that the day

be undertaken as soon as the man

the arrangements, and when started
will be pushed with all possible speed
