 From Exchanges.

Miami Messenger: Max Bonne of Globe, has bought what is known as the Corn Ranch, below Burch, and will build upon it whole sale slaughter house, from which he expects to supply both the Globe and Miami trade with meat. Mir. Bonne has been a successful wholesale dealer in Globe for years.
 Arizona Democrat: Secretary c. B. Wood of the fair commission is in receipt of a letter from w. P. McNair, official starter for the local races this fall, who is acting in the same capacity for the Oregon state fair races, now on at Portland. McNair will go from Portland to Seattle. He says there are 300 horses at the Portland fair and that the owners are discussing the great track in this city. He says they will be here with their horses.
 Arizona Democrat: Some 300 acres of Egyptian wheat or shallu, the kind that Ruth is supposed to have gleaned in Biblical days, was raised in the Salt River valley this year. The yield was good, some hundred bushels to the acre, on the farm of George Alkire. He put in 30 acres. This wheat, which is related to milo maize, is especially valuable for chickens or stock. It is a dry land crop, one irrigation being sufficient to bring 1t to ma turity. It sells for about $1 .25 per hundred pounds. Heretofore it has been difficult to get seed of this variety of maize. There is consid- able raised in the northern states. A large acreage will be planted in the Salt River valley next year.
 Arizona Republican,: Yesterday afternoon the police arrested and jailed four or five boys, some Mex jeans and some Americans, caught in the act of carrying away cloth ing shoes and other merchandise from the ruins of the Herzberg store, recently burned. It was sup posed the loss of the store was total but yesterday in clearing away the debris, the workmen came upon a find of goods that were not hurt by the fire and various and sundry Onlookers helped themselves. The boys say that it seemed to be any bOdy's grab and they mixed in. They were very sorry they did so and did not appear to have been criminally inclined, although they were old enough to know they were taking things that did not belong to them.
 Arizona Republican: A man known by the sobriquet of Sil. vertip drifted into town recently and with another whose name is given as O'Brien, secured room In lodging house. Working the street for"prospects"he encountered Frenchman he had known in the mining camps, to whom he impart' ed the information that he had a cousin named O'Brien, with whom he was rooming, who had more money than brains, but by reason Oi their relationship he could not take his money away from him though he was dead easy" at the game of poker. He suggested that ne and the Frenchman repair to the room and engineer game in

course lost all he had and then complained to the police. Though the Frenchman demonstrated by his plotting that he was on the same moral level with the other plotters, the police tried to lay their hands on Silvertip and O'Brien, but they had effectually eliminated themselves from the landscape.
 Arizona Star: The Blue Book for Arizona officialdom is out and ready for distribution by the secre- tary of state. The Blue Book is one of the handiest reference books that has ever been compiled by the state. The pamphlet contains the names and offices of all the county and state officials of the state. It also contains the executive boards, the educational boards, and their heads. It contains all the members of the Arizona constitutional con vention, the members of the last state legislature, and the national guard and it's officers. One of the new features of the Blue Book will be the list of newspapers through out the state Their location, name politics, and time of issuance is given. Also the commercial bodies of the state are enumerated. Three thousand of the books have been printed. They may be had from the secretary of state.

Arizona Democrat: The poultry farmers of the valley are beginning to clean and heat their incubators in preparation for the fall hatches. It is good work, inasmuch as the hen population has difficulty in keeping pace with the human pop ulation. Eggs and "a la Mary land" will be as high as ever this autumn. "A special effort is being made to corral the day.old chick business for Arizona," said Mar. shall Humphrey of the Arizona Seed company, today. California breeders by reason of their exten- sive advertising, have in past years sold hundreds of thousands of day old chicks and matching eggs in Arizona. There is every reason why this money should be kept at home. We sold 10000 day-old chicks during the spring, and many more were sold by other dealers and by breeders them selves" From 10000 to 10000 day,old chicks will be matched this fall. September and October are the prime months for all hate hing. After that the price of eggs be. comes prohibitive.

Mann Challenges Democrats

Washington, December 6.-An at tempt by Representative Bartlett to strike an item from the judicial appro- priation as protest against Presi- dent Taft's recent order placing about 1000 fourth class postmasters in the classified service, today failed in the House after a heated debate.
 Representative Mann challenged dem ocratic members to pass 1t and place themselves on record for ''the spells system"
 Later an amendment offered by MT. Bartlett replacing the Presidents order was ruled out of order as new legis- lation.
 Declaring that for 16 years fourth class postmasters in his state had been named by patronage referees without reference to the wishes of the people or their representatives, MT. Bartlett said amid democratic applause that he hoped the incoming administration would lose no time in revoking the or der.
 Representative Tribble declared the people of the south wiuld not tolerate having negro postmasters in their sec ton perpetuated in office by executive order.
 Republican Leader Mann challenging the democrats to vote this amendment into the bill, predicted that Presidents elect Wilson would refuse to approve such a proposition.

 It was proposed in the meeting to en- join the city or bring suit for damages, but the more sober minded decided to leave 1t to the lawyers as to what course to pursue in getting the case into court to test the constitutionality of the ordt- nance.
 Mayor J. l.. Wikle says he has been in- formed by the best authorities that the law is constitutional and that he does not believe the fight will be of serious consequence.
 According 10 the mayor, each citizen of Anniston based on the last census report, costs the city between $7 and $S a year It requires at least $l0O,0OO a year to run the city and the property owners are re- quired to pay only a little over s2 per year, so that the privilege tax is made necessary to meet current expenses.

 to a silent party" alleged to have been Judge Archibald.
 Little evidence appeared today that had not been given at the investigation last summer by the House judiciary commit tee.
 The House managers won a point when Senator Bacon ruled that they could offer in evidence the deposition given by E. J. Williams to Attorney Wrisley Brown of the department of justice, last April, to contradict evidence Williams has given the Senate.
 The Katydid deal was the subject of the examination of George F. Brownell, general solicitor for the Erie and the Hillside Coal company. He told of Judge Archibald calling at his office in New York to ask who the proper person to see in regard to the purchase of the Katy did dump. The witness testified Judge Archibald said in substance that he was interested" in clearing up the title to the property, and he had gone to Mir Browell as Browell was the only off cal of the Hillside company he knew with the exception of MT. May. MT. Brownel said he introduced him to Vice Presi- dent Richardson.
 Representative Clayton, for the man. agers, was about to ask that a per sonal attachment be made for Richard son to get him before the Senate, as he had not responded to a summons when Senator Bacon stated he was informed Richardson was in a New York hospital. The subject went over until tomor- row.

| Mountain Creek, December 6.-(Spe- cial.) IA drive from this point to where the Interstste Power company, with | 1900 men at work, are engaged in build | ing the Coosa river in order to supply Birmingham with electric power, 40 miles distant, is through a fertile, well cultivated county until the hills clad in native forest trees is reached. Through the valleys the road winds crossing little streams that are fed by springs that flow the year continuously.
 Where the Interstate Power company has commenced to harness the stream the river forms an elbow turn and above and below this point the banks are nearer together, but just where the immense dam is being constructed the distance across Is about 1900 feet.
 Three hundred men are now engaged in crushing large boulders under the management of McArthur- Bros, just two miles up the stream from the site of the dam proper, for the purpose of filling in with concrete the structure,
 The dam, when completed, will be nearly 1900 feet long and 90 feet high, the waterfall will be nearly 80 feet. The base of the structure is to be TO feet while the top varies.
 With this resistance the river will back up for six miles and form peace full and quiet body of water, varying in depth stored ready for use in driving the machinery that is to generate the electric power for propelling Birming hams many plants as well as furnish ing the energy that will cause dynamos to do the work required of them.
 Altogether this is a great undertak- ing, well under way with millions of money ready to meet the expense of construction. The company is paying out now for labor about sSo,oo0 every two weeks
