OWNERS DISGUSTED
 OVER ATTITUDE
Abandonment Railroad, Globe To Miami Means Great
 Loss To That Section.

The Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad company last week abandon ed their work of surveying an exten- ton of their line to the Miami mine because of an attempt to hold-up the company on the price of the right-of- way through property between Globe and Miami. Concerning this aDan- donment of the proposed railroad line the Globe Silver Belt interviewed J. T. Harrington, who owns mines in Lost Gulch, through which the pro posed line would run. Mr. Harrington relates how an attempted right-of-way hold-up failed at Deadwood, s. D. MT. Harrington is quoted as follows:
 Do you know" he said, this re minds me of the way Deadwood, S. D., the town I came from, acted at first Deadwood Is not nearly half so large as Globe. but 1t has three stand ard roads and a trolley line. Still, the railroad did no, have an easy time getting into Deadwood when il wanted to. There were a lot of peo- pie there who imagined that when a railroad company made up its mind to go into a town it would pay all sorts of money for a right-of-way. The road had built up to within few miles of the town, but when it could not get reasonable ngures on the re mainder of the right-of-way. why II stopped there and there it stayed for ten years The people had even built a tunnel against tne road, and had a franchise on it. and they asked big money for it.
 What was the result? Well some Of the people who had been holding out died, and, al the end of ten years, the others realized that if they ex- pected or wanted that road to come in- to their town they would have to give It a right-of-way for little or nothing. and they did. That IS now it ended, and now Deadwooi has three stand ard roads and a trolley line, and the people are just that much better of.
 Tt is true that the road in this val ley might be said to have imposed on the people a little in the way of rates, but even al that, it strikes me that is a whole lot better than waggoning for that Is a mighSy short sighted way to choke of the road just on that account. The people, also, are inclined to impose oa the railroad. It is human nature Cn both sides. We all want all we can set. But we should remember that when we want too much we are apt no- to get anything The thing to do just now is to en. courage the building of that road they should not be charged anything for that right-of-way. What We need is to develop the district, and we can't do it without the railroad
 Develop the district that's the idea And when the business has been made here. it will not be long before there is another railroad knocking at the door. And then things will adjus' themselves.
 The right-of-way to Miami would carry the road through Lost Gulch right over some Of our mineralizec land. but I'll tell yod right now, there will be no trouble in getting a right of-way from us. We need that rail
 road just as everybody else does, and Mir. Harrington pulled out fresh cigar and unthink!ngly bit of tho wrong end.

DOUGLAS ORDERS
 STRAW VOTE TAKEN
Bond Company Paying Expen- seS of Election-Attitude of
 Newspaper Is Criticised.

DOUGLAS. Jan. 20.-(Speeial)-- The city council with four aldermen present last night decided upon Tues day. January 26, as the date upon which the straw election to dispose of the Ulen-Sutheriin proposition shall be held. This action followed the re port of City Clerk Daley that money sufficient to cover all expenses of the election had been placed in his hands by Ulen and Sutherlin. The question of whether the straw election should be held was settled without much de lay. The money was up to cover the ulen-Sutherlin end Of the agreement and the city had agreed to have such an election, so under those circum- stances there was no opposition to go- ing through with the election. The city clerk was instructed to issue a call for the election and to have bal lots printed.
 The mayor, in open the meeting, made some preliminary remarks with reference to the action of the majority of the council in putting the UleD and Sutherlin proposition before the public in the form of a straw election, and also touched upon the newspaper crit lcism given the matter.
 He said that in his opinion the Ulen and Sutherlin proposition is probably as good as any that would be received from an open market and that he did not know whether il would be possi- ble for the city to get other bidders. He said that the council had voted to call the straw election in good faith and were honest and sincere in the be lief that in putting the matter rp to the people they were doing the right thing.
 He mentioned the fact that for do ing this the International which he characterized as the "evenins sheet, he'd seen fit to adversely criticize the action of the council. and'it was his opinion that such criticism was Hoi well founded and was unjust. Partic- ular exception was taken to the ase of the word 'child Ike" in an editor. ial criticism of the straw election This, it was said. vas a source of hu- initiation to a majority of the council The mayor further declared that there is disposition among some people to criticize any action taken by the pres. ent administration.
 Alderman Sparks during the meet ing said he had not paid much atten- tion to what the newspapers had said on the subject. He declared he would do no work in behalf of the Ulen Sutherlin proposition.

KING SAYS
 SOUTHWESTERN BUSINESS GOOD
Getting Ready To Take Care Big Elks' ExcurSion-PuIl- man Service Assured Stiles Will Retire Soon.

Garnet King. travelling passe age- agent of the Southwestern. spent yes terday in Bisbee. leaving on the even Ing train for points on the western end oS the line. King states that everything is moving along al lively rate. and that travel seems 70 be i'm proving generally.
 Tho Elks are getting busy for the coming excursion to the coast. where they will gather by the thousands. I expect to see the greatest crowd leave this section of the southwest for the coast that has ever gone out of Bis bee at any time in the past. The Elks are determined to make this a record eeater, and as far as I can see tney Stli succeed in so doing. l am in formed that the lodges report a con siderable increase in their member ship during the past few weeks, and this means his much more to tae num- Der 10 increase Che excursion.
 We are glad to announce to the people of Bisbee that there will be a through Pullman service leaving here for the coast on Saturdays during the summer which has never been done during the past. We feel that the people of this section are entitled to this. and due provisions have already been made. This Pullman service will begin as early as demanded by the summer travel. aud will be contin- ued during the vacation season"
 Asked regarding the resignation cf General Passenger Agent V. R. Stiles, King said: My understanding is that Mr Stiles is continuing in office until his successor is appointed and until his personal affairs are shaped. lt is the intention ef Stiles to retire from his present position as he has already stated and he will not continue, as has been reported from some sources. I do not know what his plans are for he future. but as Stiles has numer- ous interests in this section of the southwest there Is reason to believe tha: he win net take up his fntui e work right hers 1T is sectio7- do not know Uno Stiles successor VIII be.
 We feel that travel is picking un very noticeably all along the line and expect to see it increase from now on. We hope to have number of excursions during the coming sea son both ways over the line. The first will be on February p. when the Fl

Presiding Spirit of Benson Pa per Astounded By Perfect
 Flow of English,

4. R. Cater, travelling passenger arent for the Southern Pacific, wnO has his headquarters in Tucson, has returned from Los Angeles. He ac' companfed a party of Chinese officials from Fl Paso to Los Angeles
 The Chinese party was headed by Dr. Liang, who is one or the leading diplomats of China and who, with fourteen other ChinFe orncials con stituted a party, sent from China 1o thank the American government Tor refunding $20,000,0O0 of the amount which China paid to America citizens for losses during the boxer uprising.
 Mir. Cater tells a good story of an incident which happened at Benson while the party was passing over the Tucson division, says the Citizen.
 w. P. White, editor of the Benson Press. entered the train for an inter view with Dr. Liang.
 .'Wbat Chinaboy think Meiican peo- ple? All samee this fine country, nor he is reported to have said in Degln- ming his conversation.
 "Yes, this is fine country and your people are up and doing all the tlIne. By the way. l notice that your Eng fish is very imperfect" said Dr. Iiang. If you have difficulty in speaking your own language, We might try French, German or Russian. speak them all"
 But Mr. White never paused. He made a record breaking exit from the car. He had no desire to converse further with the Chinese officials In any language.

SUPERVISOR ORME
 WANTS BETTER ROADS
Declares That Road Money in MaricOpa County Is
 Practically Wasted.

Whatever good roads Legislation is passed by the present legislature should embody 3 provision for county road superinteadents. and deprive those who food roads of the .igh, Of jury trial" declared Supervisor JodR Orme. former chairman of the board 'cf supervisors at Phoenix. gr Supervisor orme decared further that the S30.0o0 spent by Maricopa county upon roads every year is al most waste. for the reason that it Is spread over too wide an area and not many oyerseers know how to construct i c highway.
 It is not his-idea to do away aito Eetaer with overseers. Ii is necessary to have some one in every part of the county to cope with any emergency that may arise. such as the sudden washing out of bridges, flooding of roads and other things. Hut it should not be left to the individual over seers to say how the money appropri ated for use in their districts shall bt expended.
 With some one competent road builder to superintend operations. an end would be put to this. He must be man who knows how to contruci | good roads, and whenever any money is 10 be spent in any particular dis trict he can be on hand to superin tend operations. But when he is ia one part of the county and something goes wrong in another part, the road overseer will be near at hand to cope with conditions to the best Of his ability.
 The chief difficulty in securing the conviction of violators of the law against flooding roads has always been to secure a jury that would con yicL The law says that every mar must be given a jury trial if he de mands il. But when a yiolator is i taken before a jury of farmers whc don't know when they themselves vii be up on the carpet. he invariably gets off without so much as a liga' fine.

D0U6LaSITE NOTES
 BISBEE'S BUSINESS

Henry StTodthoff, manager of the Copper Queen store at Douglas. was In Bisbee yesterday looking after a lv- cation for the Dicus Plumbing com pany, Of which he is secretary.
 ''I am always impressed with the business in Bisbee." said Strodthoff. Tt seems to me that this is the great est business center for the number of people, I have ever-seen in any place. There is a business dash that is en- couragiHg to every one, and it is easy to see that there is something doing. Of course the great mining interests here have much to do with the excel lent conditions which prevail.
 We expect to see business improve every day in Douglas. and the railoraa talk which laS been in the air for some time past Is one of the encour ags ments which will give an impetus to affairs. We expect to see consider able business come in from Courtland from now on, and when the railroad is completed we win doubtless dc much more"
 Although a heavy holder in Warrer stock Strodthof was silent upon this subject.
