RANGE AND MARKET NEWS
Items of Interest Pertaining to the Live Stock Industry in Arizona Mar
 ket for the Past Week.

Cattle men make many a poorer investment than advertising their brands. One animal saved will pay the bill for a number of years. Keep your brand where all can see it.
 Thomas Saver, the sheepman re- ports that there is no water in any of their tanks in the Cataract coun- try, except in Cataract Creek where there is an occasional rock tank. Feed is fairly good, mainly because of the lack of distribution of water.
 In the future the Forest Service will endeavor to obtain reports as to the causes of all losses of stock on the national forests. Rangers will be requested to make note of all stock found dead in their districts with probable cause of death. A report will be made at the end of each month.
 Rains are badly needed on the range to produce summer feed. The stockmen have built a great many tanks and dams in the past three years and generally improved the water supply until only an ex- ceptionally long drought would ser iously affect them. but the feed problem is more difficult. The sea- son has been backward, nearly a month later than usual consequent- ly feed did not get a start from spring moisture. (which put it back until summer rains come.

Prosperity of Negroes.

The colored population of Mobile are

are industrious and thrifty. Quite large

people, who own their homes and have

ings.
The savings banks are patronized gener-
ally by the colored people also, and they
have fraternity lodges. building associa-

Big Banana Port.

Mobile is one Of the principal banana
ports of the country. A 5OOO-ton steamer
comes in here every Thursday, bringing
thirty or thirty-f1ve thousand punches of
bananas from Central America, which are
transferred to railway cars within a few
hours and hurried northward by special
trains, so as to reach market before the
dew is off en- as the man on the dock
remarked.
The railway trains come down to the
dock and lie close to the side of the ship
The bananas are transferred by means of
an ingenious ''unloader'' invented by one
of the employees of the United States Fruit
Company for the purpose. 1t consists of
a long arm or derrick that can be made
to rise and fall, to turn either way, and
to be placed in any position that may be
required.
Extending the entire length is belt of
canvas containing a series of pockets at
intervals of eight or ten inches, large
enough to hold punches of bananas. This
belt is endless. and moves up one side and
down the other side of ladderlike der
rick.
When the hatch is taken off the hold
of the steamer, the end Of the ladder is
lowered SO that the men. by single mo-
ton. can place one bunch of bananas in
each of the pockets after the belt starts
upon its evolutions. and another gang In
a freight car pushed up to the other end
pick them out and pile them up in the
car fast as they arrive. 1t takes about
five men to keep the belt full of bananas.
and quite as many more to catch the
punches they arrive at the car.
The contrivance ds on the plan of the
ordinary elevator, and works as easily
with bananas as with wheat. There is a
derrick and gang of men for every
hatchway. and the newest steamers have
been built to accommodate them. By
this means 1t is possible to unload forty
thousand punches of bananas in four or
five hours when ii used to take four or
five days. ana that makes a great differ
ence with the condition of the fruit. which
should be taken out of the hot hold and
put into cold storage as quickly as posi-

MUST ISSUE BONDS.
City of Barre Must Put Up Collateral
Until More Funds Can Be Secured
for Expenses.

The City Council held three hours
session Tuesday night and several i'm
portant matters came before them for
consideration, such as the issuing of
$4,000 worth of bonds to meet the city
expenses for the next six months.
The first business to come before
the Council was the renewing of the
contract of the Consolidated Lighting
Co., for the lighting of the city streets
and public buildings. The question of
getting the sewer ditch dug to the
new school building was also taken
up but nothing definite was decided
upon The City Clerk informed the
Council that the time had arrived
when they must make arrangements
for issuing 100000 bonds, as the mon
ey in the city treasury would not last
until December 1st, on account of the
heavy bills which are being paid in
connection with the building of the
new reservoir, the new school and
the school pay rolls which have been
started.
On motion of Alderman Campbell,
it was voted to place the preliminary
arrangements for the issuing of these
bonds in the hands of the Mayor,
chairman of the finance committee
and the City Clerk. The lighting
committee then made it's report rela-
tive to the new lease of the Consoli-
dated Lighting Co., for lighting the
streets and it was their recommended
ton that the streets should be light
ed all night and every night as a mat
er of better police protection. They
reported that the company would
light the city streets all night and
every night for $65 per light on a
five year contract and that they would
light the streets for SIS per light on
a three year contract. This would
mean an expenditure of $4,000 more
for the city in the event of their choos-
ing three year contract, so that it

was finally decided to leave the ques-
ton over for a week before any def
mite action was taken.
City Engineer Reed was then call
ed before the Council and his opinion
was asked in regard to the extension
of the new sewer on Camp street. He
stated that the only feasible way to
put in the sewer was to run it across
the common property to Charles
street on account of the grade which
would have to be overcome. Un mo-
ton of Alderman Thurston it was
voted to have the City Attorney pres
ent his opinion on the question of pro-
ceeding with the sewer across the
common property which is owned by
the Congregational Church Society.
The only other business of the meet
ing was the acceptance of the resig-
nation of w. L. Harris and H. E. Rid
berg as call men in the fire depart
ment
