For a Housing Celebration.

The people of Nogales, Sonora, headed by their municipal govern ment, are moving toward giving a rousing celebration of the coming anniversary of Mexican Indepen- dence, on the sixteenth of Septem- Der; and to inaugurate the move men tPresidente A. Claussen has in- vited a conference of leading citi- zens of both cities this afternoon in the municipal palace in Nogales, Sonora.
 It is to be hoped that all busi- ness men in both cities will attend and give the movement their hearty support and encouragement, both moral and financial. People from all over Sonora and southern Ari- zona will throng to the line city to witness the festivities if the latter are made worth while-and it is the intention to make them SO. People in both Sonora and Arizona have been fond of Nogales always, and they are glad of opportunities to visit the line city. Arrange ments will be made for cheap ex- cursion rates on the railway, and everything will be done to draw and retain here several days sev- eral thousand people. The benefit they will be needs no comment. All citizens should buckle in'' and help the good cause along.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, August 13, 1909.- Cattle receipts this week were 1O,- GOO greater thau last week, 56,500 head, including $500 calves. The market has been shade lower on grass steers, although some good native grazed steers sold stronger yesterday. Cows have held up about steady this week, and calves are about 25 cents higher. One train of Colorados came in this week from Grand Junction, but sales in that shipment do not fully represent the market, as all the classes included were much lacking in finish, the whole shipment hav- ing the appearance of having been shipped too early. Beef steers sold at $4.40 to $460, feeders $4.05 to $4.25, cows $345 to $3.S5. The good weight Kansas steers which correspond with the steers now coming out of the North Park country in Colorado, bring $5 40 to $6.35, medium and lighter weight steers at $4.25 to $500, cows and heifers $3.25 to $4.40, bulls $500 to $3.75, veal calves up to $7.0O. Country demand has been good this week, and large array of buyers have been present on the market, but they remained in the capacity of lockers unless price concessions were made, and stockers and feeders are closing the week 20 to 35 lower. Stock steers sell at $2.25 to S4.S5, feeders $400 to $5.25. Illinois buyers have taken out a few fancy feeders above these prices, one heavy at $500 this week. J. A. RIcKART, l.. s. c.

The Penalty of Banking Abroad.

Hon. c. P. Hicks, probate judge Oi this county, in commenting upon the Courier's campaign for greater Prescott, gave some very enlighten- ing facts concerning the probating of wills in California, and pointed out the various losses that accrue to Arizona estates through the short sighted policy of carrying deposits in California banks. Judge Hicks said:
 In administration, many cases have come to my attention wherein residents of Yavapai county have died leaving deposits of money in various California banks. Such condition not only causes confusion and delay in settling up the affairs oi the estate, but also causes and creates more than double the amount of expenses necessary to administer the estate to final dis trlbution at the home jurisdiction. Under the present laws of the state ot California no estate can be re- moved therefrom without first hav- ing been administered upon in whatever county or counties the same may be situate, and all ex- penses of administration and the state inheritance tax deducted therefrom.
 "A person dying in Yavapai county, leaving estate therein, with deposits of cash in California banks, subjects his estate to double administration, and the costs of double administration, no matter now large or small the deposits in foreign jurisdictions may be; the home delay of the administration IS delayed awaiting the slow pro- cess of administration by the Cali iornia courts, and finally the home administrator receives from the California administrator from SO O lO per cent of the original de. poslts, 30 to 40 per cent of the same having been consumed in payment of the state inheritance tax and the debts, charges and ex- peAses of administration, which, in comparison with the expenses of .ne home administration, with many times more value, is more than double.

City Engineer of Alameda Finds
Encroachments Upon Prop

ALAMEDA, Sept. 1.-THE lots on the
east side of Mulberry street between
Buena Vista/and Clement avenues en-
croach five feet upon the west line of
Mckinley park, recently purchased by
the city, according TO Park Commits
sioner F. N Delaney and City Engineer
l. n. Chapman.
The park property formerly belonged
to Judge James A. Waymire and was
lost by him to the Hibernia bank on
foreclosure proceedings. The city pur-
chased the land from the bank as a
site for a park. paying $4,000 and OBJ
tanning a guarantee deed from the
bank.
The deed calls for depth of 225
feet from the west line of Walnut

Amount Of Bond for Public

OAKLAND, Sept. 11.-Conditions in
the public administrators office are to
be radically changed as soon as the
necessary steps can be taken. The
first move after the retirement of
George Gray. whose resignation will
be accepted by the board of supervis-
ors Monday, will be to increase the
official bond of the public administra-
tor
Gray supposed that he>was under
$4,000 bonds. but the records. show
that only one bond, for $4,000, by a
surety company has been filed in his
behalf AS the cash in the hands of
the public administrator frequently is
more than 100000 District Attorney
Donahue considers the present bond
far too small. The board may fix the
security required at 100000 as pre-
ca ution against a repetition of the
scandal under Gray's administration.
An up to date system of accounts
the closing of estates soon as pos
sible with justice to heirs and cred
itors and the discarding of the old
clique system by which only a few had
knowledge of events in the office are
features which will be demanded in
the reorganized Office
Attorney John s. de Lancey, Gray's
representative, who was indicted five
times as a result of investigation by
the grand jury, will appear before
Judge Brown to plead to four of the
charges
De Lancey was accused of knowing
1y passing claim for s115, which
Fleod was said to have forged, for fu-

not guilty. The other charges refer to
the alleged embezziement of $4,000
