The Swantown Fill.

The STANDARD is in possession Of
information that the high boss of
the City Council is of the opinion that
the Swantown fill matter must be in
itiated by ordinance, and not by res
olution rs adopted by the Council on
the I'd inst. Moreover, it is re-
qulred the ordinance shall fix the
boundary lines of improvement dis
trict and describe the lands, lots and
blocks to be assessed. 1t would there
fore seem the Council is without
power to proceed under the resolu-
ton. The hearing under it is fixed
for next Monday evening In the
meantime, protests are being circu-
lated by property owners in the East
ern part of the city, and a lively
time is promised. Some of the own
ers urge that if the fill shall be made.
it is liable to cost twice the estimate
Of fifty thousand dollars; that under
the rulings of the court the estimate
may he exceeded if the Council shall
So determine. 1t is to be regretted
that so much bitter feeling is being
engendered on account of this affair.
1t might have been the wise policy
to have first talked the matter over
despassiOnately, with the interested
parties, before springing something
for which they were not prepared.
Evidently there Is nothing stated in
this resolution going to show the
manner and amounts of the assess
ments against the property of the re-
spective owners. a number of these
owners claim they prefer to rely on
the records of the city than to accept
the loose statements of officials; that
as long as the records are silent they
are left in the dark and there is nj
other step open to the owners who
will not be benefited but to protest.
THE OregonidR is of the opinion
that the disappointed men who tool
chances in the late government lane
lottery schemes can find consolation
by hiring out as harvest hands il
Eastern Washington and Oregon
Many of the applicants are not fitted
! for such labor. How about the man,
women who spent all their money il
order to get chance to occupy ;
part of Gods footstoOl Who vii
employ them The trouble will
such business is that many of the dis
appointed ones will blame the gov
eminent for their miSfOrtuneS, which
will induce them TO listen to anar
chistic agitation. Uncle Sam canno
afford to do injustice to our citizens
We were told, in our boyhood days
that he was rich enough to give u
all farm.
MARY SAID NoTHING.-Mr. Fred
Trevor Hill has called public attention
to the decision of lawsuit in which
the Appellate tribunal reversed tn
judgment of the lower court becauS
at the trial a witness was not per

a certain Transaction. When the cas-,
was tried the second time, occasionet
by the reversal, this witness in an

THE STANDARDS SERENADE

lhe olympia band was ont on
a general Sercnading expedition.
Wednesday night. The main object
was t. extend this courtesy to Mr..
Peter Schmidt and bride. of Turn
water. by whom they were delight
fuliy entertained with an array of
good things at Doanc :. Between
the visit to Tumwatcr and this ban
qu"t the band Scrcnadcd the STAND
ARD and the NgmpiuH.
he scribe OF the former paper tMr.
Miller, as the Oiympion calls him) re-
Spondcd to the courtesy by few re
marks expressing his qualification
over the compliment which he
thought was wholly due to the STAND
ARD. which had for so many years
mad SO much to say in praise of the
services of capable muSic-lovcrS in
providing Olympia with Il Scrviccablc
band. Even half a century ago. our
clty had its band. probably the first
IN the Territory of Washington, eX-
ccptlng the military band at Fort
Nancouver. which our people had on
many occasions to bring across the
country on gala local occasions. One
OF these was on Il town celebration
that was in progress in 1860 The
band had just arrived, and was an
nounclng It's presence by Il greeting
performance from the balcony of
what is now the New England
House. All at once it ceased, after
slip of paper had been handed to its
leader. The band after a short pause
began playing il dirgc. after which it
was announced that President Lin
coin had just been asSaSSinated april
l4th, 1861 This of course changed
season of JOY and much anticipated
happiness into one of profound sorrow.
and the band $ engagement involving
cost of several hundred dollars, was
Immediately cancelled.
The first citizens band at the cap
ital, and probably in the State. was
organized by DR.. Albert Eggars. a
thorough musician on all wind and
string instruments, and his little one
story home in the woods, corner of
Adams and Sixth streets. was the
band room. He began with three
MEMBERSHIP cornet leading, played
by himself This organization was at
times augmented to five or six. but
was frequently weakened or COM
pletely diSorganized, by loss of
member or two from change of resi-
dence. At times, as noted. it was
unable to respond to the demand for
its services.
Mr.. Miller thought that the
vcncrated Dr. Eggars had Il worthy
successor in the present leader of the
band, Mr.. Davis. who had devoted
so many years of his life in what he
has made Il mission of love for his
own musical study and of pride for our
people. The bands prospects for
pcrnanency now appears to be as
sured, as the public feeling seems to
be more responsive for aid and sup
port than it has ever been before.
ONLY think of our venerable Uncle
taking hand at game of chance
with the deal in his own hands.

1t was an even break between Can anea and Douglas on the last trip of the Douglas team to the big Mexican camp, and the returning team of the Smoker City were a highly elated lot of ball players as they passed through this city enroute home yes terday afternoon. Saturdays game went to the home team by a score of IA to but on Sunday Doug las showed a reversal of form and out. played Cananea all the way through winning a 6 tc 3 game. which should have been to ?.
 Saturday the game was as pretty as any ever played in Cana1ea for the first six innings but then the Douglas players made an aeroplane ascension while Cananea put on batting streak and piled up thirteeI rurs ia three innings
 Sunday Cananea scored two runs in the second and Douglas took the lead in the fourth with three tallies. Then there were no more runs till the eighth, when a Douglas fielder failed to get an easy fly because of the in terference of the sun and three run ners crossed the plate. But in this inning the Douglas team again gave a hitting exhibition and scored three runs also, which won the game.

WARREN WILL HAVE
 NEW BANK SOON
Colonel Powell Admits Need of Institution-c. 6 A. Will Be
 Represented in Directorate

Ever since the new brick office building at Warren was planned it has been currently reported that part of il. at least. was to be occupied as a banking house. Warren is a live, progressive and growing town and the idea that bank was to be es- tablished there seemed natural be lief under all the circumstances. Then came news from Douglas that Cole Ryan and C. & A. interests were rep resented on the new directorate of the First National Bank Of that city. which doubled it's capital and it was said that the same interests were to be behind the proposed new bank at Warren.
 Yesterday Review reported called upon Colonel Powell and inquired as to the report that bank would be one of the occupants of this new build ing at Warren. Colonel Powell imme- diately and unhesitatingly replied that Warren is to have a bank. What interests would be behind it he would not say beyond inferring that people connected with the Calumet and Ari- zona company will be on its directo- ate. Thus is given the assurance of bank for thriving Warren and that too, in the very near future.

CHINESE IDOL |S
 PULLED DOWN
Christian Church Sunday School Gives Varied Pro-
 gram in Celebration
BIBLE SCHOOL FORCES
 AHEAD OF PHOENIX RIVALS

On Sunday. evening at the Chris tian church the young people oi tu- Sunday school were in charge of the program. which was one of the best oi its kind ever given in Bisbee. The church was appropriately decorated for the occasion and large atteni. ance was present.
 The young people in charge of Mrs. A. Petty. who was ably assisted u, Miss Edna McKinsey. carried out the program without fault and theT'' were many pleasing numbers. This being centennial year. a large clock was arranged on the back of the plat form, and as it ticked off8 the years numerous members of the school made appropriate remarks. A rose drill. which was called wreath of roses. also elicited much admiration.
 To bring out the fact that all idols must come down. at the close Of the program a curtain was removed from one corner of the room. which reveal ed a hideous Chinese god, tc which the children attached four ropes, and, singing an appropriate selection, they pulled it to the ground, breaking it ih to fragments.
 The offering which was taken amounted to over $50 and was given to missions. The birthday box alone contained more than $1lo; the mite boxes of the little ones contained prlc ticaily the same sum.
 The contest now being held be tween this Sunday school and the one at Phoenix. in which the latter school was leading. is growing very exciting and last Sunday the Bisbee school forged ahead and were leading by fourteen points, The contest has two weeks more to run and the local school is determined to carry off the 1 honors.

BEEF IS HIGHER
 THAN EVER
Phoenix is Mecca For Buyers = Prices Are Advancing
 Rapidly
SHEEP MEN ARE REAPlNG
 B0UNTlFUl HARVEST

Owing to the high prices of caJ.i. and sheep nearer home. buyers from every part of the west are now in Phoenix and many carloads are being shipped out daily. The greater part of the stock purchased is going to Den yer and Pueblo. Though the growers are jubilant over the high prices b. ing paid. the buyers will make big profits. for the quotations elsewner- are higher than ever before.
 Cattle have advanced 25 per cent in price all along the line. Fat cat te are exceedingy scarce and mediocre grades are now bringing as much d prime beef ordinarily brings.
 Prime steers are being sold her for s4.50 per hundred rounds. The Hackett meat market sold four car. loads to Denver buyers at that price, and they were shipped out this morning. Degen and Basherman, who work together. bought ten carloads from John Beauvais the other day for s4.35. They were only in fair condi tion. The steers which Racket sold were raised by George Day at Buck eye. and he received the same price for them as the buyers paid. The butchers decided that they were lit tie heavy for this weather. and let them go without making a profit.
 LeFeyer is looking for both bee; and feeders and paying fancy prices for both Degan and Basherfhan arc looking for 5000 range cows to shii east. Cattle are so scarce that theN are willing to take almost anything Cows are bringing frof s3.25 to s3.75.
 Los Angeles is also infested with cattle buyers. That has always been leading market for grass fed steers The usual price has been s3.50, but nothing is being sold for less than s400. with stock scarce at that prlcs The sheep men are reaping har vest. Degen and Basherman recently bought a number of lambs from Dr Norton and a man named Armstrong for $5.60. Their profits will be in mense. for lambs are quiet in kansas City market at s9.5O. The valley growers are making big money. but the northern sheep men are shippins direct to Kansas City and receivins returns of which they never dreamed Phoenix Republican.
