THE NIGHT FREIGHT.

She's running fine, old '6s: we see her
 ghostly steam As we face the sleet with icy feet or
 swing a wet brakebeam; For nights like this We dare not miss
 the finely roof patrol, When wet brakes slip and lose their
 grip and death may be the toll; So we go on watch, although. to give
 our thoughts their dues, We must agree we'd rather be back
 in the old caboose. The whistle speaks :the four long
 shrieks pierce through the moun-
 tains steep. And on we go, light or so, some vil-
 lage still in sleep; Torpedoesi Slow-and then we know
 that wet brakes must not fail, For grades are steep and chasms deep
 along the mountain roads, And death may turk when brakes don't
 work and wet pins slip their heads. Then up the line old '6s crawls through
 the siding gate, And puffs and shorts all out of sorts
 because she has to wait; But palace trains with wealth and
 brains must rule both night and
 day.,
 And homely freights piled up with. crates must give, them right of
 way;
 So here we stand while Pulimans grand are passing in a blur. The limited is miles ahead ere we nulI after her. It's bleak tonight on footboards white and the sleet stings like fine shot, But our thoughts go back through the ,yawning black to the old stove glowing hot: It's toot, toot, toot, and a rain of soot, and the pistons crash again, And back we go to the red lamps glow at the end of the swaying train; The coffee pot is steaming hot and gay yarns rout the blues. Yea, mirth and cheer and a good pipe, near, and it's home in the old caboose. Victor A. Hermann.

 Phoenix dealers in all lines of goods sell on a margin as close as business conditions will permit. And every day they offer bargains to buyers fully as attractive as the best situated eastern or coast stores offer.
 And the Arizona consumer should keep in mind the fact that, while prices are high here as they are everywhere else. the money is here with which to buy things. Arizona is one of the most prosperous sec tions of the United States, and the average resident of Arizona lives more luxuriously than he did in the cast.

can Sugar Refining company on
charges OF conspiracy to defraud.
The ss-examination of Richard
Parr the deputy surveyor of Gus
toms, whose dramatic story of the raid
on the sugar docks at WILLIAMSBURG
stands out as the salient feature OF
the trial so far, was resumed.
The cross-examination of Parr de-
veloped little of interest.
Other witnesses testified to what
seemed to them unwarranted varia-
tions in the scales for some time pre-
vious to the trade.
Thomas Slenson, government
weigher, testified that in June, 1906,
he noticed that the weights were run
ming lower than ordinarily at scale
which Kehoe, one of the defendants,
was checking. He called Kehoe's at
tention to it, and the weights after the
inspection of the scales by the weigher
went up to normal.
Robert Jones, a former company
employe, who had worked under Spit
ger and other defendants on the docks,
testified that the men who looked
after the government weights were
known about the office as the "roly
poly gang" John r, Coyle, one of the
defendants, was q member of this
gang, he said.
I'VE all knew on the docks" the
witness continued, that one of the
'roly poly gang always checked the
government employees"
Frederick Sanders, negro govern

the sugar company's docks, testified
that he had seen an electric light
flashed as a signal and the scales
