the Rockies and while the trade there
recently has been somewhat weaker
with slightly lower prices, the market
here continues to gain headway in
the bullish column
Hogs sold here this morning at
$3.50 for one lot or 15c above the
highest market reached recently. The
price is 81 1-2c above the highest
point east of the Rockies, which is
rather fair considering how 1t had
acted a short time ago.
The extent of the strength here has
not been fully tested recently. Hog
supplies have been quite fair but
they have not been heavy. Today's
showing is the best noted for some
days and the way that killers took
hold indicated that they really need
ed the goods and were willing to pay
for it,
Packing Market Is Better.
To some extent the strength in the
hog trade her is due to the much bet
ter tone that has existed recently in
the provision trade. The severe cut
ting of ham prices and in lard also,
subsidized some time ago, but the mar
ket for both products is gaining
ground daily and some recent advanc-
lard situation has been a bugbear t.
the hog trade for some time previous
to the recent betterment.
Nominal North Portland hog prices
Best light .......$ $50
Rough and heavy ....... 760@7.75
Medium light ..... S.35
Stockers ............ 1000 7.75
Steadiness was shown in the cat
tie trade at North Portland during
the day. The run was heavy, CON
sisting of $50 head, compared with
613 head last Monday.
Top cattle are still quoted at 81 by
the local trade, but the bulk of the
real good stuff is quoted around
$500. Some of the arrivals of the
day were contracted by packers
previous to arrival, therefore these
transactions cannot be considered as
reliable market factors.

REFERENDUM PETITIONS READ
 IIY SIGNED

At meeting of the Arizona East ern railroad officials and d commit tee appointed by the local board of trade held yesterday afternoon in the w J. Kingsbury law office, it was discovered, contrary to first thought, after the matter had been gone into fully, that the Tempe people were willing to sign the referendum pe titions. The law that it is proposed to refer to the people. and which were passed by the late legislature, are: Fifteen hundred candle power electric head light. three cent fare, semi monthly pay day, full crew bill, number of cars to be hauled in a freight train, etc.
 Several days ago when these pc titions were first circulated in Tempe, the board of trade held a meeting and after a lengthy discussion of the subject, decided that they would not sanction the circulation of such pc titiOns in Tempe. After the meeting which was held yesterday afternoon and at which meeting the matter was given a thorough airing, it was un- anmOusly decided to withdraw any opposition to the petitions and favor their circulation and signatures on the part of the citizens as a whole most of the citizens as practically everybody was at first inclined to turn the petitions down.

A BATTLE ROYAL.

Two VCung men of Mesa met two other young men in the street at a point between the Alhambra hotel and the Holland bakery late Monday ev- ening. One of the men said to anoth- CT: Are you one of the fellows that jumped 'he a few nights since in the pool hal?" When the other man answered in a manner that appearei satisfactory as to identity, No. 1 land ed with terrific right on the cheek of his opponent. The battle was then on and for q brief time there was a Whirl- wind conflict, from which one of the parties emerged covered with blood and face that was almost unrecog niZable. I he party who struck the first blow later appeared in police court and paid fine of ten dollars, evidently satisfied that he had had his moneys worth in satisfaction.
 From i1is statement, it appears that three young men met him in a pool hall a few nights since and proceeded TO abuse him for something that had occurred previously and for which he was blamed. At that time he informed his tOrmenters that when he met them outside, singly. he proposed to lick them one by one" Monday evening was the first opportunity he had tc make gooo his word.

cAILsoN PARTY HOME

J. C. Chilson and family returned Tuesday evening from PaysOn after spending ten days in that vicinity The trip was made fin Mir Chilson's Case machine with Floyd Strong at the wheel The roads are reported to be in rather bad condition and even in some places impossible The trip going up was made without mishap to within about twelve miles of PaysOn where the party camped over night at MT. ChilsOn's ranch. During that time a hard rain set in lasting a greater part of the night. The next day travel was continued but in many instances there were narrow escapes from being held up by the muddy roads During their stay at PaySOn a number of side trips to the surrounding country were taken. The party states that there were large number of Tempe peo- pie in PaysOn during the festivities and that all had a most glorious time The trip home was made in one day which would be very easy accom- mplishment when the roads are in good condition but when considering their many defects it Is thought fairly good time was made.

A Discriminating Burglar Lays in a Supply of Clothing, Provisions and
 Munitions of War

August Zahn, section foreman at the station of Queen Creek, visited the justice of the peace yesterday and lodged complaint against John Doe" Tor entering q residence and carving away quite list of valuables belong ing to the section foreman. It seems that MT. Zahn was working a gang of men near Higley yesterday: but before leaving Queen Creek locked the car in which ne lives and keeps his private effects. On his return to his home in
 the afternoon he found that the win dow of he car had been broken and an examination of the interior dis closed the fact that Mr Zahn was short suit of dark clothes, in fairly good condition, the clothes having been made by the Chicago Tailoring Co.; coat and vest with brown stripes: a
 pair of iaX boots, with one new white toe cap: q pair of black button shoes

 Smith X WessOn 38 caliber revolver: a 22 calibaT Winchester automatic gun;
 John B. Stetson hat, with horse hair
 band; white shirt with collar at

 ammunition for the fire arms taken
 In the coat pocket was K of P
 watch @narm, and on the lappel of the coats an Odd Fellows and q Knights
 of Pythias pin. All the papers and let
 ters in the pockets had been taken out and thrown on the floor MT Zahns trunk had been opened and the con- tents We're generally scattered around, but only the things which the burglar rp1llH- hooded ha shotgun and an army rifle were in the car, but the burglar evidently had no use for them
 Learning that three Mexicans had passed the station during the after noon on the way toward Florence MT Zahn to0h his rifle, boarded his motor car and followed them. He caught up with the men a short distance this side of Florence, threw down on them with the rifle and ordered them to throw up 1 their hands. The men dropped to their knees and begged for their lives, evi dently thinking that they were being Waylaid. The men were carrying bundles, but an examination of their effects was sufficient to show that | they were not the guilty parties. As q recOmpcnse for giving the men such | a scare, Mir. Zahn took them aboard the car and gave them free ride to Florence.
 MT. Zahn is of the opinion that the men who escaped from the honor col 1 Ony at Florence Sunday night had a 1 hand in the robbery-was perhaps the l sole offender, as the articles taken would be what convict would need 1 more than anything else.

TEMPE
LAND OWNERS MAY
 BUILD NEW CANAL
Mass Meeting Held to Consider the
 Important Matter.

A very enthusiastic meeting of the land holders under the proposed Highland canal to be located south of town was held Monday afternoon at the Heard pumping plant Some forty people were present all of whom are very much interested as to how and when they are going to secure water for their land This entire tract consisting of seventy eight hundred acres was opened up a number of years ago to homestead CTS and it was but a very short time until it was all taken The prOpO- sitiOn was then taken up by the gov ernment as to how water could be obtained for these lands It was at one time thought that pumps would be installed but at the present date the idea is to raise it from near the Wormse canal to height which will allow a flow over a greater part of that country. This will of course make it necessary to put in a pump of some description and also some miles of canal.
 The meeting Monday afternoon was called for the purpose of finding out just how many land holders under tlIC plOpOStu CoIldt NOUlu De WItIInS to proceed with the work them selves. It has been concluded the government has given up the matter, not having enough funds to carry the work to completion. They are how ever helping the people in what ways they can and are in the hopes of being able to make them certain con ditiOns whereby the land holders will complete the canal themselves The government has made a blue print of the proposed route of the canal placing the terminus of the forced water near the Herbert Ballou home stead. From there it will flow by itself although a portion of some of the hOmesteads will still be without water.
 The general sentiment of the land holders appeared to be very favor able in regard to the matter and practically all are anxious to go ahead and complete the work on their own resources Another meet ing will probably be called within the near future to consider the matter further.
