TWO CIIY TANKS FILLED WITH
 WAFER

Two or the large tanks comprising portions of B.sbee's future fire protee- tion, are now full of water togethe- holding reserve of over 1000 gal. Ions of water, ready to be used in lighting fires. The third tank, upon Chichuhua Hill is progressing rapidly toward completion, while the big res ervior at the head of Tombstone can. yon is rapidly assuming form. This is the history of this important brancr of municipal work as related by Sup. erintendent A. NJ. Martin.
 At the reservoir two of the sida walls have been completed, concrete made water tight by employment of specialSpHocesses, being employed il; its construction. It is expected that this part of the system will be ready to turn over to the city by the middle of next month unless unforeseen delay. is encountered. The walls rise above the floor level twenty-five feet on every side. but owing to the peculiar shape of the plot Of ground chosen for this purpose one wall is 115 feet long, two others 160 in length and the other sixty feet.
 All of the water mains have been laid save those upon Chihuahua hill, which cannot be put in the ground un- til the o K trail right of way dispute has been settled between property owners and the city.

COAL PRICES NOT RAISED SAYS
 GRAVES

Local Agent Graves. for the South western, has explained to the ReyieS S and to local dealers that what they had taken for an increase n freigat rates was in reality new rate en slack coal from Gallup. New Mexico. The deale:s were glad to hear that they were mistaken and the consum e.s will equally rejoice because they will be spared the advance which such a raise in the rates would mean.
 In concluding the conversation cor cerning freight rates, Mir. Graves made the statement that he had re- ceived assurances from tn headquar ters of his road at Fl Paso. that with the publicantion of the next tariff sheet, there would be a general reduc- ton in freight rates, and that he had reason to believe that if there was any change in the rate on coal, 1t would be a reduction rather than ar increase. There has been a slig';- advance on slack coal. but as this Is not used for domestic purposes, it win not affect the price of fuel for do' nestle purposes.
 Local dealers say that the price ot coal has twice been raiserd this year by coal dealers, block coal being high. CT than for many years. There has, however, thus far, been no increase in local rates.

WH|z WAGONERS KNOCK ON
 STREETS

DOUGLAS. Nov. 11-(SpeeiaL)- )-
 Automobile owners of Douglas ars beginning to make complaints about the condition of some of the streets of the city. They are not loud i.. their complaints nor in their requests for recognition of their rights and in- terests. but them claim, and with jus tice, that considering the amount Of capital which is invested in autcao- piles in this city that greater recog- milton should be given the owners who pay taxes on the amount they have invested in their machines.
 It is stated by those who ride about the city much that the rains of the past season have caused the surfaces of some of the streets to become rough and full of ruts. but the main cause of complaint which they have is the conditions at the crossings. Here torrents pouring through the streets along the gutters have so washed the depressions at the crossings as to make them more like ditches than gutters, with sharp pitch down and up. This condition is especially man ifest al the corner of Eleventh street and G avenue on the easterly side of G avenue and the conditions there are typical of several other crossings and not so bad as in a few instances.

Crossings are Sad

When a driver runs his car down one of these crossings it becomes ne cessary for him to bring his speed down to three or four miles an hour or else get a bad jouncing for him self and the occupants of the car, be- sides straining the car and its mech anism. To remedy this the automo- bilists are not asking that culverts be put in They would not expect anything of the kind On the con trary they merely ask that the sharp sides be scraped away and an easy depression made in lieu of the abrupt and ditch-like holes which they now have to cross.
 They are also asking that the chain gang in working on the streets pick up nails, cast horseshoes, wires and other metal objects which are the cause of frequent punctures to the tires of their machines and thus in a measure a constant and unneces- sary expense.
 Oue duJOuODi4S ONueE COLlLneuleu on these conditions last evening to an International representative and added that he believed the superin- tendent of streets did not appreciate the conditions as the automobilists found them. That he did not think the matter had been brought to the attention of the city government and that he believed if this were done ac, ton would be speedily taken to rem. edy the present conditions.
 There are many automobiles in Douglas The investment in these machines runs high into the thou. sands of dollars, and certainly some thing should be done in recognition of such an investment by taxpayers No doubt the matter will te taken ur by the council and steps taken to rem edy the conditions complained of i'm mediately.

Ro0sEvEIT's TABLE TALK.
It's Indiscrction ''NIakes Ones Head

It's Indiscrction s'NEaIxes Ones Head
Swim With Astonishment."
"One can imagine a book which
would be well worth half a million
dollars to any publisher who could
get hold of the necessary material for
it," writes Harry Thurston Peck in
the Forum. "This would be q volume
containing Mr.. Roosevelt's table talk
or some Of it--since he first came
to the Presidency.
"For frank indiscretion, absolute
bluntness and the most irreverent
pungency Of phrasing, this table talk
of Mr.. Roosevelt's is extraordinarily
interesting. No matter who happens
to be his guest, the President always
speaks without the slightest reserve,
giving his actual opinions Of Sena-
tors, Representatives, public men in
general, Ambassadors and even for
eign potentates, in way that makes
ones head swim with astonishment.
zone might name at least half 4
dozen persons who are by no means
the especial intimates of the Presi-t
dent, but to whom, nevertheless, he
has blurted out enough of this ex-
tremely piquant talk to fill a volume.
The extraordinary part of it all is
that very few indeed of those to who
he talks have yet betrayed his conf
dence. OF course they tell other peo-
pie; but only those, who like them
selves, can keep these blazing indis-
cretions from getting into the pages
Of the newspapers.
In few instances, to be sure,
table guests of President Roosevelt
have in perfect innocence revealed
some of his careless words; but then
he has promptly enrolled them in the
Ananias Club, and everything has
gone on as though nothing at all had
happened. Where in Europe there
would be issued in some gazette an
official dement, our President gives
out statement to the press that the
story-teller has uttered what he knew
to be 'outrageously and absolutely
false
1T is odd that none of the White
House servants have carried their
masters interesting mots to the
newspapers; for the President often
talks quite as freely in their pres
ence as when he is alone with his In
vited guests. Some day or other in
the distant future many of these In
teresting and very pungent bits Of
phrase and characterization will be
carefully collected and published; but
probably not until many men now
living shall have died."

tanning the number of varieties of

age conditions and the source Of
these different varieties. From tests
made of twenty-five COWS they found
800 varieties of bacteria present in
average milk. Four per cent. Of
these were found to inhabit the ud-
ders of the cows, gaining access to
the milk through this organ. Twen-
ty-six per cent. gain access to the
milk through feces that accidentally
drop into it during the operation Of
drawing it from the udder, while sew
enty per cent. get into the milk by
dropping off the surface Of the cow.

NOTES ON BEANS.

Beans are easy to grow, but mex
perienced gardeners often fail In their
first crop by planting the seed before
the ground has become warm and
dry. No vegetable seed will decay
more quickly than the bean. Delay
in waiting for the soil to dry out in
the spring will be more than made up
by the rapidity of growth when the
beans are planted correctly.
Beans will grow in almost any soil,
but the best results are obtained by
having rich, we'll worked ground.
The beans may be dropped in drills
one inch deep, the seeds to lie three
inches apart. Cover with soil and
firm with the back Of hoe. For
bush varieties allow eighteen to TWEEN
ty-four inches between drills. For
the dwarf limas two and half feet
is better. Limasshould not be planted
until the weather is warm. Pole Ii
mas are usually planted in hills two
or three feet apart in the rows. Dwarf
limas may be sown thinly in drills.
Numerous varieties Of both the
green podded and the wax bean are
used for eating with the pod while
tender. The various strains of the
black wax are the most profitable
string bean. The old fashioned cram
berry or horticulture lima type is
probably the best shell bean, but the
trouble Of polling it makes it unpopu-
lar. Both the dwarf limas and the
pole limas require a longer season to
mature than the bush varieties and
only one planting is usually made.
The bush varieties may be planted at
intervals until August 10. Each
planting may be made on ground pre-
viously occupied by some early ma
turing crop. indianapolis News.

that inhabited the creek below Mid

The whisky foated down stream at
the rate Of two miles an hour. Fish
ermen along the banks noticed that
the water suddenly was assuming the
color of their own bait. They were
astonished to see staid old members
of the fnny family that had behaved
themselves decorously for years sud
denly flop out on the bank and at
tempt to climb tree. Turtles came
staggering up the slopes, pursued by
crawfishes bent on a fight. Every
thing below the water line seemed to
have been drinking like fish.
1t was glorious day for the fishes,
but sad one for the fishermen. The
former were too drunk to see the
bait. Crowds lined the creek all the
morning watching the antics of the
fish.-New York World.
