A gil Likely to Become Law.

C. R. Temple of Douglas is in the city, says the Tucson Star, en route to
 his home after spending some time in Phoenix in the interest of council bill No 65, introduced by MT. Burns, which passed the council in unanimous vote, and is now in the lower house. "This bill," said Mir. Temple, "is to prohibit abuse of the order system, which works to the everlasting detri- ment of Douglas, Bisbee, Clifton and Morenci districts. We have pay roll at Bisbee and Douglas of $7,000,0 annually, and these are two of the poor est towns in the country compared with Tucson and other places. We have not the same amount of revenue. What they want to do is to give the little mer- chants an equal chance with the com pany stores, and when this legislature is over, independent merchants will have better show than they ever had before. There is disposition on the part of the members of both houses to do the square thing and they will help out to great extent

NO AMENITIES" FOR KANSAS
Bill Offered in Legislature Is Outcome of Case of Artist Earle
 in New York

TOPEKA, Kan, March 2.--In support of his bill proposing the sup pression of the '"affinity' business in Kansas, State Senator Travis today con fessed that his hatred for Artist Ferd- inand P. Earle caused him to introduce and press the measure. To placate a few members of the legislature who are fighting the bill, Senator Travis jok- ingly said he would be willing to in sert: ''This act shall not apply to members of either branch of the legis- lature.
 "The reason why I framed this bill was because was born in the same county and raised near the town where Earle lived" said Senator Travis. q was born and raised at the little village of Newburg, Orange county, N. r., a few miles from Monroe, the homo of Artist Earle.o
 Senator Travis, has received more than 100 letters from all sections of the country commenting him for introduc- ing this measure. Most of the writers are women.

Risen, Phoenix-Like.

It cheers the heart to take a walk along upper Main street, says the Re. view. There, where blackened ruins marked the course of half million dol. lar fire on the morning following the fatal l4th of last October, structures that put to shame the former buildings of the street, have been reared, and are either already occupied, or nearly ready for occupancy. Those who, with dire forebodings, predicted that so tre- mendous a loss, occurring as it did in financial depression, would mean a blow from which the camp would be years in recovering, have seen their fears proved groundless; while the most optimistic have been filled with surprised gladness at the rapidity win which the city has recovered from its disaster

Water Works for Mesa.

The first shovelfull of earth will be turned this week on the Mesa water. works system. The work will begin on the North Plaza, where the power house will be situated. The money is now available from the sale of the bonds and the orders for the materials and machinery have been placed. Engineer l.. c. Knilpe, who has charge of the work, says the whole plant will be completed within six months from the breaking of ground. When finished, Mesa will have one of the best and most adequate systems to be found in any city of its size in the United States. It's fire protection will probably be bet ter than any of the smaller cities in the southwest.

Railroads at Courtland

Nothing is more significant of the future importance of Courtland than the tremendous efforts being put forth by the Southern Pacific and the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroads to se- cure positions of shipping advantage in what, from the energy displayed, seems certain in few years to outstrip the unique Copper Queen-Calumet Arizona city of Bisbee. Two months ago, says the Courtland Arizonan, Colonel J. H. Talbot, superintendent of the Great Western and the Calumet 6 Arizona properties in the Courtland district, standing at the entrance of the Copper Queen hotel in Bisbee, made the proph- ecy that in five years time Courtland would have population of between if teen and twenty thousand. Since that time developments have come thick and fast. In two months the scene at Courtland has been changed from one of peaceful development on the part of about two hundred miners in the shafts of the Great Western and Calumet & Arizona, to one of feverish activity. The Courtland of today has about 2,000 people within its borders proper. Gangs of railroad men are working from early morning until dark within the city s borders grading here, there and every where for the tracks of the Fl Paso & Southwestern, spurs to the producing mines, and surveys to every prospective producer in the district Standing anywhere on the McFate Courtland townsite, looking out over the Sulphur Springs valley one may see a long line of moving black specks six miles to the east and northwest. Gradually extend ing out in the valley is long, steady black line, the road on which it seems certain the Southern Pacific is to lay rails straight into the city of Douglas. The plans of the Hartman line seem to be spur from the main track along the heart of the valley, west into Court land, paralleling but going above the tracks of it's rival to every shipping shaft in the district.

The train was bowling along at a good rate of speed and when the hose burst the brakes. were auto matically set, bringing the train to d very sudden stop. Conductor Fisher was engaged in preparing dinner, hay ing knife in his hand, when the shock came, ana was thrown violently to one side and the fingers of his right hand were badly cut. Mir.

Col. Greene Not Broke.

That Colonel w. C. Greene, who has been reported to be "down and out " financially in nearly every paper in the country, is not 50 badly off tiran- cially as has been supposed, is the latest report coming from Cananea, his home city, and is seemingly well authenti- cated. If the report is to be believed there is hardly man in the district who would not be willing to be on the same "down and out" list. When all of the tangles caused by the effect of the recent financial stringency have been strengthened out of his affairs, he will be the possessor of between two and four million dollars, it is said.

Unable to Pay Head Tax.

Two Norwegians and one Russian Finlander were leisurally strolling down Morley avenue, today, taking in the sights of the beautiful city of Nogales when MT. Miller of the United States immigration service spotted them and escorted them to his office, where he asked for their head tax. They being '' financially embarrassed were unable to pay the $4 a head so had to go back across the line from whence they came. It seems they were discharged from some sailing craft about Guaymas and came to the United States in search of employment. .-Nogales Times.

With :he new subway completed, the street rail way extended and the new street along the old subway completed, the camp will have a new lease on commercial life.
