THOUGH WAS HAL


 LOW FEE Minimizing last evening city police reported for extra duty last evening prepared to oversee the pranks of the usual revelers. And then it was discovered that the event was still twenty-four hours distant. Just how the impression got abroad among the minions of the law that the occasion had arrived is not known. But they will be on duty tonight just the same and will exert every effort to preserve order.
 GRAND OFFICERS TO VISIT COMMANDERY-Phoenix Command cry No. 3, Knights Templar, will this evening have an official visit by Right Eminent Grand Commander Sir Nathan A. Morford. After the re- ception of the grand officers a spread in the banquet hall will follow with addresses from the grand officers and a descriptive discourse by Eminent Commander Sir-Archibald J. Samp- son on personal observations on the Island of Malta. All visiting Sir Knights are welcome and a large at tendance IS expected.
 cocHIsE COUNTY coURT-There are something over 400 cases both civil and criminal on the docket of the district and federal court to be tried during the present term, says the Tombstone Prospector. Almost one-f fourth of all the cases on the district court docket are actions to straighten out matrimonial kinks or in plain figures 73 divorce cases will be heard, during this term. The criminal docket is saids to be the lightest in the history of Cochise county, there being only about 45 cases in the hands of the grand jury for investigation.
 HORSES FOR FAIR.-Two more fast horses that are entered in the fair races arrived in Phoenix Satur- day night from Los Angeles. They are Chequita, a pacer owned by w. S. Mabin, and Mckinney Wilkes, a trot ter belonging to John P. Gaines. With Mckinney Wilkes and Chequita came four other horses owned by Mabin and which, it is understood, he may sell during the big show. Chequita is supposed to be one of the best little mares coming here for the fair. She is entered in the PIP pace for the Copper stake, and in the 2:10 pace, the purse of'which is $1,000. McKin- ney Wilkes is entered in the 2:23 trot for a purse of $1,000.
 WILL RESUME OPERATIONS The New England Copper company against which a number of judg ments swere given at the term of the district court now sitting, on local debt accounts, the various ag- gregating but a small amount, is making arrangements to take care of the accounts and liquidate the in- debtedness before execution of the judgments, says the Clifton Copper Era. The rumor that the company ter abandonment would seem appar- ent, is without foundation.A The ne cessary assessment work will be pros ecuted, and there is no doubt in the least in the minds of those acquainted with the New England company hold ing but that in the near future &C., tive operations will be resumed and the property put into the producing class, as excellent results have re- warded former explorations.
 PREPARING TO BOOM-There will be more improvement done here next year than ever before, says the Holbrook News. This may not be true of the town, but We do know it will be of the country surrounding the town of Holbrook. This inn provement will extend from Holbrook to Springerville, up to the Little Col orado river. the southern part of John Flanigan both of Holbrook, are to irrigate quite a large tract of land next year. They will do this by means of large pumps and gasoline engines. Capt. Henry War ren has purchased two well machines and with these he expects to make two wells just south of town on his to Holbrook. When these gentlemen get their irrigation plants in operation. and the. cost of it will not be nearly so heavy as has usu- ally been understood, there will be others at the work of making irri- gation plants to irrigate ten to forty acres. Every acre of this land will be worth a hundred dollars just as soon as the water is put on it. Just think of what benefit to Holbrook, this farm improving around it will be. Then the residence part of Hol- brook, will grow more in the next year than in the past year. Hol- brook, has as good a climate as any in the United States and everything grown anywhere else can be grown in Holbrook.
