 Cattle Movinq

The heavey stock movement of the past week has so congested freight traffic on the western end of the Sothern Psc tie out O. Tucson during the pas. week that :t has been found impossible to secure enough men to handle the stock trains and the reg ular traffic of the road and there is & shortage of help which the railroad officials are seeking to supply. it IS said, ny importation of new crews
 lt Is estimated that fully 2,500 head of steera have already been shipped ont of CCch'se county, and thus far the end is not yet in sight. The :. P. officials are not in 8 position to state just how many more care will be required for the stock movement. It is said to be certain, however, thst it will be the heaviest yet ever known here.
 Railroad officials report that the present bu.ihsss of the road is the heaviest experienced in long time

Prof. Lowell
 Boosts Arizona a

4 specisl dispatch from Paris to the Chicago Tribune says:
 Prof. Percival Lowell, of Lowell ob- servatory, Flagststf, Arizona. at the urgent invitation of the Sorboune, will deliver another lecture on "Mars" in Paris next Tueeday. He returned here after visiting London and Berlin and will delay he return to America on this account.
 In his lecture he will answer sci- entific critics who assert that obser- vations made through two larger tel escapes then his own in America have proved the nonexistence of Martian canals. Prof. Lowell, c friend of his says, will declare that the European astronomers are unable to take & cor. rect observation of heavenly bodies because the atmosphere of that part of the globe is too much laden with vspor and thus subject to reiraction' of lighs which are misleading. h Arizona, on the other hand, the clsr ity of the atmosphere is perfect.

Arizona Fire
 Insurance Company

With two-thirds of its capital stock disposed of, sil to Arizona peo- pie, the newly organized Arizona Fire Insurance company IS preparing to begin the writing of policies at an early date.
 Before they launched their com- papy the organizers investigated the insurance situation ID this territory. They found that last year S9O0,000 went out of Arizona in fire insurance premiums alone. Figures regarding the losses are not available. tut never run over 33i per cent snywhere ex- cept in case of disastrous fire. such ss Arizona did not have in 1909.
 To the promoters of the Arizona Fire Insurance company it seemed that some of this money at least should be kept ID this territory. They saw no reason why eastern concerns should :stten on Arizona business.
 The officers of the Arizona com- psny are George H. Hahn, president; i; Epes Randolph, vice president; Lloyd B. Christy, treasurer; E. F. Forestall, secretary. The officers all serve as directors. Among the other directors are John R. Hampton of Clifton, B. A Packard of Douglas. Eugene Brady O'Neill of Phoenix, T. G, Norris of Prescott and A. K. Stacy of Prescott.
 Among the substantial and promi- nent men ,who invested in this com. psny's stock is Judge Fletcher NJ. Doancf Tom bstone.

THE TOMBSTONE FLY
A Knowing Insect That Cannot Be . Drawn Away From a Good Thing

Inherently, and by virtue of cleanly surroundings and good society, the Tombstone fly t the most mannerly bird of the kind in existence. He is even particular about what he eats. otherwise having abundant facilities for transportation, he would probably go to some town where miles of gar bage offer everlasting support.
 The Tombstone fly does not believe in breeding profanity, so he is careful about playing golf on bald heads. He IS willing to sample ripe fresh water melon sometimes, but prefers blanc mango and orange sherbet Nothing shocks his taste so badly as stale rail- road mulligan, and his aesthetic na- ture oft leads him to sit on the outside Of the window screen and sip the sweets where the ambrosial breath of the Tombstone maid has precipi- tated species of honey dew. Sev- eral colonies of Tombstone flies went to Bisbee and Lowell not long ago. but contracted typhoid fever before they could become acclimated.
