..a.,, a,, ,.. , EARLY DAY LIFE ON RANGE ID BE SHOWN

Arizona is distinctly in a transitory stage. Not only is she about to break from the territorial cocoon and emerge gorgeous state but conditi- ons are undergoing an equally wonder ful change. But a few years ago southern Arizona was the land of the cactus and coyote and jack rabbit in some sections and COW country" in others. Those were the days of the cowboy, wild, daring and picturesque, of the type which the eastern maga- zine articles love to depict. Now the cowboy is becoming almost extinct in this particular part of Arizona, no longer does he ride into town or camp after the round up in the numbers of the past Occasionally a few struggle in but it is not as it was in the past, the near past.
 The rancher has taken up the lands, the cowman is driven of the range and fences have gone up fin all the fertile valleys, agriculture is where the cattle used to roam.
 Under these circumstances such an exhibition as is to be given in Warren on Sunday is bound to attract inter- est. There will be shown the sports of the range as they were few years back. Broncho busting, handling buck CTS and rocking chairs, riding wild steers, throwing steers by sheer strength and skill without aid of lariat and goat roping are some of the features which will prove attrac- tive. They are examples of the open life which is passing from us.
 The management state that they have engaged band and will render a concert at the Warren park between numbers as well as having a street parade and concert earlier in Bisbee.

RAILROAD WILL BE BUILT ID b|SbEE

Active work by the Southern PaclIc in railroad building may now be ex- pected to begin next week. This will mean the building of the Espee line. as contemplated Ave years ago. iron, Cochise to Douglas, Osborn. Bisbee and Naco where it will connect with the Cananea branch.
 The mules and stock, which 1t was reported wepe being shipped from the work going on below Mazzatlin. have been heard from at Nogales where they were held up on a duty proposition. Grant brothers, the con 1, tractor builders for the Randolph Mex ican lines, have decided to pay the government the duty claimed, under protest, and to bring an action for che recovery of this charge. From No gales the stock and equipment which is in transit will te hurried on 10 Courtland and then work will De pushed down the valley, and on to Bisbee. opening up a second railroad to the best copper camp on earth.
 Since the original plans for road from Cochise south, there have beea two steps taken in that direction. The first was the building of the line from Cochise to eParce and the second from Pearce to Douglas. Low comes ths third steps which is believed to mean the final step and the completion Of the project in Cochise county.
 Reticense has bean the common state of affairs for the past five years with the exception of the last winter and now actions are speaking louder than words for first the surveying par ties were indications. straws showing the blowing of the wind, and now comes the large shipment of railroad building equipment, as it is said that sixty carloads are on the way to Courtland. After the reticence of the lpast little can be expected to be giyen out by the road now, but the public will be able to see from what lis done what the intentions of the road are
 The Mexican veterinarian passed through Bisbee yesterday on his way to Nogales to examine and pass over the stock and by next week dirt will be flying in the Sulphur Springs val ley.
 With the force which is to be yu. on, according to all reports, it should not take long to complete the line to Douglas for it is simple, ordinary dirt" work From Douglas on and up to iBsbee the work will be more difficult and will take longer time.
 Indications are that the fact that the right of way originally obtained when the map was filed is only avail able for short time and that a new right of way would be rather costly to obtain is the cause of the immediate activity, though other causes are ru- mored-

peninsula and the other crowd is a
fraid Of HIM !" Mr.. Maxey empnas-
lied his opinion Of Campbell by adding
that the upper peninsula ought to do
all it can to keen Mr. Campbell in the
speakers chair.

Campbell as legislator and his friend

as a surprise because the Speaker has
been knocked" consistently by the
farmer organs of the lower PENN
sula and a few upper peninsula papers
OF socialistic tendencies masking under
the Republican banner.
From other and very reliable sources
we learn that Mr. Maxey's statements
regarding Mr.. Campbell are not any
too strong That he has been instru-
mental 10 a great degree in shielding
the upper peninsula from the darts
aimed at il and it's industries by its
enemies in the lower peninsula, aided
and abetted by their associates above

tiens.would be at sea II their telephone
connection were cut of for an hour.
While the city finds 1t an absolute nee
essity. the average citizen finds ii just
as essential to his welfare. This IL
evidenced by the large number Of
phones which have been installed DUR
! ing the past year in private homes
A few years ago II we found 1t nee

another trip to some other physician.
Today we reach his residence by
phone IN few seconds and IL he is
out we call ~ another one in the same
length Of time. thus saving valuable
time and allowing rs to remain at

from the store or market in hurry
and still cannot find time to go for IT,
without phone we have to get along
without 1t. but with phone we have
the goods delivered 10 us without los

weather the telephone proves TO be the
housewife best friend. One woman
in speaking of her telephone calls it
her friend on the wall " Our most
distant friends are awlays within call,
in case OF need they can be summoned
at minutes notice. AS social aid
the telephone is society's best friend.
Every day invitations are issued over
phone and arrangements made for
these delightful informal parties and
gatherings. Without telephone these
little informal affairs would be diff
cult.
the business man already knows the
value Of telephone to him and IL is
not question of having telephone
but reliable telephone that interests
him. Many important matters involv-
ing thousands Of dollars are decided
after conference over the phone be-
tween two men who may be at the
time hundreds of miles apart. Are
liable telephone and good service are
necessary then.
For public convenience the telephone
companies nowadays have an informa-
ton bureau which tells you practically
anything you want to know. Every
question imaginable from "What time
is It, please2' to "How did the game
come outH' Is answered each day.
This is indeed great benefit to any
city.
