NEW TRANSMISSION
 LINE TO BE BUILT
Arizona Power Company Decides To Build Loop Through Jerome
 To This City
(From Thursdays Daily)

| The intention is to place engineers Tn the field immediately to recon hotter the route, and for this pur- pose a force has been dispatched to the power house with Ray Head in charge of field operations. As the line is located, and as soon as ma terial can be secured, construction will be commenced, the intention be- ing to get the line in commission before winter.
 Since it nas been definitely settled that the company will build the line up the Verde river, the many camps and settlements along the var iOus possible routes have evineed a lively interest in the undertaking, and quite a competitive desire to se- cure the service is evidenced at Camp Verde, the Cherry Creek dis triet and other places where consid- erable activity is going on, together with farming people, who desire to secure the modern power for irri- gating and other farming purposes Especially is this so in the mining communities, where the service is proven far more desirable than what was formerly used by the many companies which have been utilizing the current.
 This route, when In commission, will form the third side of a tri- angle, the corners of which will be at the power house on the Verde, Jerome and Poland Junction.
 The inauguration of this move will practically solve the future wei fare of all communities using tho power of this company, for by any contingency taking the southern line out, the switching to the other can be accomplished instantly, or vice versa.

ON MINING BUSINESS.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Gorge Olsen, one of the best known of the pioneer colony, was an ar rival in the city yesterday from his mining claims on the Agua Fria, where he reports operations on his properties as under way. Mir. Olsen returned a few months ago from Ok lahoma, where he is interested in a large cotton plantation, and is pre- pairing to move to that state to look after his interests. He will con. tinue, however, to be identified with his mining interests here, having faith in the outcome of the develop. ment of his mines.

moreover, it cannot be really satis- factory when the labor system is so managed that there is for part of the year a demand for labor which cannot be met, and during another part of the year no demand for labor at all, so that the farmers tend to rely on migratory labOrers who come out to work in the country with no permanent interest in it and with no prospect of steady employment. It is exceedingly difficult to make a good citizen out of a man who can't count upon some steadiness and continuity in the work which means to him his livelihood. Economic conditions on the farm-in variety and kind of crop growing, especially as distribut. ed in time, and in housing for the men-must be so shaped as to ren- der it possible for the man who labOrs for the farmer to be steadily employed under conditions which fos. ter his self-respect and tend for his development.
 "Above all, the conditions of farm life must always be shaped with a view to the welfare of the farmer E wife and the farm labOrer's wife quite as much as to the welfare of the farmer and farm laborer. To have the woman a mere drudge is at least as bad as to hve the man a mere drudge. It is every whit as important to introduce new machines to econOmize her labor within the house, as it is to introduce machinery to increase the effectiveness of his labor outside of the house.

the most desirable and valuable in
Perry township, which, he says, can
not be bought for less than 100000.
At no time has he shown any indica-

His ailment seems to be merely
physical disability to remain on his

he has carried on conversation IN

Requites Hospitality with Dss-
tardIy Outrage.

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept III. ID.
Huggins, farmer living two miles
north of Mansfield. was knocked un-
conscious and robbed near Shaw's
dairy. on the Mansfield road. at day
light Friday by stranger whom he
had entertained as a guest in his home
Thursday night.
The robber secured $50 from his
erstwhile host. As soon as Higgins
recovered consciousness he made his
way to the dairy and the sheriff's Of
flee was notified. Sheriff Sweet, with
a dozen deputies and posse of twen-
ty-fiye citizens. whom he pressed into
service, Immediately took the trail. led
by Marshal Cones dogs from Arling-
toll. and are now searching the bot
toms of Sycamore creek and Trinity
river for the daring highwayman.
From the description given by Hug
gins, ii Is believed that the robber is
one OF the two men who Wednesday,
noon held up and robbed w NJ Richs
ardson, peddler, one mile east Of
Handley.
The highwayman came TO the Hug
gins home after sundown Thursday.
He was travel worn. and had appar-
emily walked long way. He asked
the farmer for job picking cotton.
Hugglns replied that his crop was
short and that he had all the pickers
he wanted.
Then let me stay all night ! am
mighty tired and can't walk any
further" the stranger said.

has large family, but he took the
man in and gave him his supper and

wagon at O'Clock Friday morning
accompanied by the man
The two had reached the Trinity
bottoms south Of the Shaw Bros
dairy, when, without warning, the man
pulled a pistol from his pocket and
swung viciously at Higgins head.
The robber must have struck two
more blows, as Higgins bears a deer
cash on his cheek, as though from the
hammer of a pistol, and bruise Oh
/ his shoulder. The bruise may have
been caused by falling from the
wagon.
When Higgins regained conscious

A Great Match Race.

A race that is attracting a great deal
of interest among those who like to see
a close match, will come off at the Fair
Grounds at Salisbury, Md, September
18th, between Hannis Boy and Julia
Marlowe. Both of these horses are well
known all over the State and as both
have the same mark, it is expected to
prove very exciting match. The race
is for a side purse of $500 placed by the
owners of the horses. Hannis Boy with
a mark of 2:i5-i is owned by Mr.. Geo.
w. Messick. Of Wicomico County, and
is under the management of Capt. |. II.
White. Julia Marlowe with mark the
same as Hannis Boy is owned and con-
trolled by Collins & Co. Both of these
horses have enthusiastic supporters and
il is stated that much money is being
placed by people all through the section,
no odds being given or asked.
The Fair Association, under whose
auspices the race will be given. has also
arranged to give the Farmers Race on
the same day. There is great deal Of
rivalry between the owners of fast
horses in the County and much interest
is being taken in this race. Il was in
tended to pull this race off during the
Fair this year. but owing to the bad
weather condition it was found to be
impossible to arrange it. At this time
there were 10 entries and an exciting
time was looked for. 1t is believed that
practically all Of these horses will be
entered in the race to be given on the
18th Of this month. and the question as
10 who owns the fastest horse will be
settled. The purse is to be $50, divided
as per the arrangement for the Fair.
