THE BUSY COMMITTEES
 DOING HEROIC WORK
The Advanced Status of Several Inn
 portant Propositions.

The convention committees are busily engaged in intermfssions of the convention for work has been piling up fin them at a prodigious rate on account of the continuity of of propositions which has not yet perceptibly abated.
 Among the measures, now under consideration by the committee on saponaceous substances is the prop osition of MT. Cunniff of Yavapai, limiting the use of soap in this state. if Arizona should become a state, tC product composed of Arizona greasewood and other ingredients.
 Objection is raised to the meas ure that it might be regarded at Washington as partisan, as forcing upon republicans an exceedingly poor and distasteful kind of soap while it would lay no hardship upon the democrats who, of course would not be affected by any legislation relat- ing to soap. But it is evidently the purpose of the committee to force the proposition into the constitution re- gardless of the malign effect 1t will most surely have on statehood.
 The committee on beverages is said to have completed a re-draft of the Drachman measure relative to the exclusiveness of Arbucile coffee and a report Is expected at any day. The other Drachman proposition, perma- nently locating the Southern Pacific roundhouse at Tucson is in the hands of the committee on railroads which has amended the measure by fixing the period of location at twenty-five years when the constitution shall be subject to amendment in this re- spect, by a vote of two-thirds of the qualified voters of the territory. In this form, it is believed the proposi- tion will be adopted while it Is quite certain that it would not be, in the form in which it was presented.
 The committee on private corpora tions and banks has prepared its re- port on the Tuthill-Lynch banking proposition and it's adoption will be recommended. This proposition, it will be remembered, contains two unique features. one requiring banks to pay interest on overdrafts. though the rate Interest IS ilDl SpctiAAtN in the measure. That will be fixed on the floor of the convention. prob ably at the legal rate. The other feature places a liability on depos- itors who make overdrafts. for the debts of the bank in twice the amount of the overdraft.
 It was at first supposed that this proposition was drawn in the interest of the common people but the belief is growing that 1t was melted by the banking interests, whose tools. Messrs Lynch and Tuthill are suspected of being, for the purpose of discourag- ing overdrafts, so necessary at times to the commercial well-being of the community.

NINETEEN SPANS OF
 HE BRIDGE COMPLETE
STRUCTURE ALMOST HALF FIN ISHED AND THE END
 IN SIGHT.
With Cooler Weather, Faster Progress Is Being Made in the Laying
 of Concrete.

Rapid. progress is being made on the Center street bridge The mon- ster structure is not quite half com- pIete. but the second half will be fin ished much more quickly than the first
 There are to be forty-four spans in the bridge when it is entirely com plete, and nineteen have been con- structed. During the last two or three weeks the speed with which the crew is building the bridge has been perceptibly increased. Cooler weather permits the more rapid lay ing of cement and facilitates the work in every way. Better weather than that the valley is now enjoying could not be asked by the builders of the Center street bridge
 Last summer progress was very slow, partly owing to the heat. Warm weather is not good time to lay concrete. Heat is trying on both men and green cement.
 About fifty men are employed at present, including the Indians, who are building the approach on the oth- CT side, and performing other un- Skllleu ldDOT. concrete IS DelDR ldlQ as fast as it can be turned out by the big mixer. The gang engaged in con- structing the wooden molds and in laying the reinforcing steel which binds the cement together is having a hard time to keep ahead of the con- crete gang.
 Underneath the completed bridge are enormous holes, where the sand has been scraped out to make con- crete. These holes, however, will be filled up by the first high water that comes along.
 At present the bridge is merely broad. white walk, extending from the north side out into the middle of Salt river. On each edge pieces of reinforcing steel extend two or three feet into the air, with one end bur fed in the concrete. This steel will serve for the base of the concrete parapets, to be built after the bridge proper is complete. A finishing touch will be the covering of the roadway with crushed gravel a foot thick.
 The bridge builders are bending every effort toward completing the contract by Christmas, but say that the bridge may not be finished before the first of 1911. That it will be fin ished by February is a certainty.

FIRST LION IN AMERICA

\ N the year 1896 there were no steam
ships or railroads. but American
ships could be found on every sea-
In one of these ships, after a long voy-
age from the coast of Africa, in the
month of September distinguished
stranger arrived in New York. After
concluding to remain for short time
he took up his residence in "the fields"
directly opposite Murray street, where
he began to receive and entertain COM
pany. 1t is said he became very popu-
lar until circumstances induced him to
change his residence.
This distinguished stranger was a
lion, and ii is thought he was the first
of his kind visiting New York, preced-
ing circuses and menageries of all
kinds.
The place of his exhibition was "the
fields or what - now the city hall
park, New York City. In 1896 it was
quite different place from the park
of today.
a"The fields" then extended beyond
Broadway to the west and part way to
Greenwich street. There was no city
hall or any buildings but Jail and
poorhouse at the northern end. There
were no trees or fountains Only
grass and walks
The lion was shown at a place called
the Ball alley" in the west side of
Broadway, where his royal cage was
very large and commodious. The lion
was a young one and had been caught
on the island of Goree, on the west
coast of Africa. No doubt on the long
voyage, as he grew up to some size and
accustomed to human society, he doubt
less continued for time free from
the disturbing vice of man eating com
mon to his race. How long he visited
New York ] can not tell.
From the yellow pages of the New
York Gazette for September "a, 1896,
/ copy the following advertisement,
verbatim:
ITO THE CURIOUS.
"A BEAUTIFUL AFRICAN LION.
'"ro be seen every day, Sunday ex-
cepted, at the Ball Alley in the Fields,
next to the corner Of Murray street, in
Broadway, where the proprietor has
provided cage, in which the lion
moves at large and which exhibits him
to the greatest advantage.
Great attention has been paid to the
choice of SO pleasant a place and In the
convenience of the enclosure to the ac-
commodation of those ladies and gen.
tlmen who may favor the proprietor
with their presence.
This noble animal is between three
and four feet high, measures eight feet
from nostril to tail. is of a beautiful
dun color, between and 2 years old,
and uncommonly strong built. His legs
and tail are as thick as those of COM
mon sized OK. He was caught In the
woods Of Goree, in Africa, when
whelp and brought from thence to New
York. He is tame as any domestic
animal whatever, and is we'll worth the
condemnation Of the curious.
