NOVEMBER NUMBER OF
 ARIZONA" IS ISSUED
Issue Little Delayed, But Worth
 Waiting For

Arizona" the new state magazine arrived in it's fall costume yesterday. It is seldom that a publisher will adimt he is too busy to get his per iodical out on time, or the reason therefore, but C. s. Scott frankly stated yesterday the cause of the de- lay in the November issue of Ari- Zona is that business is good, almost too good, for it takes time to attend to it, and the magazine is conse- quently delayed.
 But the November number is worth waiting for. It has been made bet ter each issue lately, until it now pleases and interests more than eV- CT. The cover, this month is unique. The design is that Indianesque sort which is by way of being one of Arizona's most striking assets, that strange something that makes this state different from all others The picture represents a small Moqui town, the common dwelling in the foreground, and the stepped pueblo like" structure in the distance The artist, who is no less interesting than his painting, is J. F. Krebs. art in structor of the United States Indian service at the school here. He has lived among the tribes of the north and caught the theme of their strange surroundings. It is all fastened to paper and shown in the picture which adorns the magazine
 The lead story deals with Arizona 1t the san Diego exposition. The editor contributes on the opening of the Yuma siphon, and there are a number of other articles of more general interest, together with a story ot Navajo and a big installment of Robinson's serial The Knotted Cord"

JIM BLEOSOE STORY
 IN MOVING PICTURES
Poem of Secretary John Hay Immor.
 talized in Realistic Film.

When the late Secretary of State
 John Hay walked down to the levees
 of the Mississippi river one day and
 talked with some of the oldtime river
 men he received his inspiration for his
 immortal poem Jim Bledsce" Pre-
 served in poetry the tale has come
 down through the years, each succeed ing generation manifesting just as much interest in the thrilling incidents
 related as that when the poem was first published. And now the moving picture has made possible the mem orializing of the tale in all it's thrilling
 details. It is told in the Jim 'Bled- soc" film now being shown at the Wig
 wam theater and which will have it's
 last run this evening.
 The film begins with the coming of
 the secretary to the riverside, and his listening to the old river mans story
 of Jim Bledsoe." Then the scene goes
 back to the civil war days and the steamship is seen at it's dock some where along the river, loading it's pas sengers in their quaint gowns and bon nets.
 The steamer, the Prairie Belle starts down the river and overtaking a rival starts a race. At this point the view shows the broad waters of the Mis- sissippi just as they look north of Cai- TO and in the center the two steamers running neck and neck.
 peep at the home life of Jim Bled- soc the pilot is given; how he has two
 wives, "one at either port" It is a pretty little room, old fashioned, with charming southern hospitality. Then,
 out on the highway. walks Jim Bled- soc taking the part of an ill treated dog in his wanderings.
 Back to the river and the Prairie
 Belle. They are stuffing her furnaces with rOsin and timber. At the wheel l Jim BdesOe straightens himself to win ! the race. On deck the captain and the passengers are exuberant with de 1 sire for the laurels.
 But the Prairie Belle cannot stand ] the pace She fires, out in midstream i Wildly the people crowd her decks, and l only Jim Bledsoe at the wheel is calm 1 He means to beach her till every soul | is saved"
 This he does, with the flames and 1 smoke all about him. one sees the i steamer ashore along a southern bank 1 of the great river. The people leaI l from the burning decks into the shal- 1 low water, but at his wheel Jim Bled- 1 soc, who has saved them, died in the i furnace heat.
 There are other pictures this week ! at the Wigwam which are strikinglA clear. Especially is this true of the
 Lubin. Won at High Tide" where the pieces of statuary in the landscape art beautifully trite and effective.
 Two Cinders," taken aboard { 1 Pullman. is interesting. and The fight ing instinct" evidently taWen in thi:
 state. is full of action and a pathetic little love story.
 Also MT. Mullen has a very charm
 ing little singer, Miss Fannie Goss. whC
 is not only attractive but who sing! delightfully.

CHANGE RUMOR
 |S UNFOUNOED
New Manager for Local Street Car System Not Here Neither Has the Option Been Yet Exer- cized.

There were persistent rumOrs on the street yesterday that the option recently acquired by a syndicate of AnglO-American capitalists upon the Phoenix street railway system. and the White Line had been exercised and that the new owners were short ly to take possession of the system and inaugurate a series of improve ments on a grand scale that would place the local urban and interuban transportation system in a class by itself for cities of the size of Phoenix.
 No possible confirmation could how ever be obtained to the rumor. It is q well known fact that several weeks ago that the option mentioned had been obtained and that an examina- ton of the local property had been made which appeared satisfactory,
 md that in due time the option would be exercised. This gave credit to the rumor. Additional cTedence was given to it however, at the meet ing of the city council last evening when c. C. Lewis, president of the
 White Line, the franchise of which
 
 expire made application to the coun- cn for additional time. He asked for only ninety days and intimated strongly that by that time the new owners would be in complete control of all properties in this section and would in fact be constructing the ite Line. Acting upon this in i formation the council extended the franchise six months instead of the ninety days asked for.
 The option however continues un- til close to January first and street railway officials speaking of the sit nation last night were of the opinion that it would not be exercised until that time.
 In speaking of the situation last evening $ II. Mitchell of the street 1 car system denied that he had re- gned from the management or that 1 9 new manager had been appointed and was on the ground. In referring | to an alleged statement of his appear i ing in an afternoon paper MT. Mitch l ell said, If l have resigned l don't 1 know it." He stated that outside Of | the original information that he had received concerning the option noth- | ing additional had been conveyed tC | him and he did not expect it to be i until such time as the company got ready to make the transfer. This leaves the matter in exactly the same shape as it was after the op-
 ton was first taken.

SEWER SYSTEM
 IS COMPLETED
Council Notified That Last Work on Sixty-five Mile Task Is Finished and Ready for Acceptance By the City

The meeting of the city council last night was interesting in that it disclosed among other things the fact that the Phoeulx sewer system of which there is more than sixty five miles is complete and the con tractors are ready to hand the same over to the city of Phoenix. It also disclosed the fact that in the month of November thirty-four building per mits were issued calling for buildings at an estimated cost of nearly $50,O0O.
 The council was called to order by Mayor Christy the first thing be- fore the body being the report of the auditing committee on the monthly accounts These were the totals: sewer construction fund, $3O,111S2; library fund. $7S5.O3; Water works fund. $T.524SS; general fund. $1S,- 0g6S5. The bills were then ordered paid
 The protest of MT Reahm made at the last council meeting against lett ing the contract for paving in front of his property on South Second street was then taken up. The com pIuint was represented before the council by Attorney SuHweu and the Barber Paving company by Judge Kent Both sides made arguments, Rtahm's attorney conteding that the contract was unlawful and unfair, while Judge Kent showed the council had taken every step according to the law in the case and was perfectly within it's rights in granting the con tract The council then resolved to reject the petition and shortly after passed a resolution of intention to pave the strip, and an ordinance es- tablishing the grade of the strip, and also approved the plans for paving the strip Under the law MT Reahm will have ten years to pay for the work paying interest at six per cent on the deferred payments.
 Armsted and Gillellen reported the rest of the sewer was ready for ac- ceptance. The council agreed to have the work looked over by the city engineer and the street superintend- ent. before accepting the work.
 Electric light standards were asked for the down town portions of the paving district not already equipped with them, which was referred to the committee of the whole for Thursday. II BroWner asked permission start a peanut and popcorn stand on First street. which was also referred, w E. Nnligan was granted permission to stand his auto in front of the Casino saloon and the bond of NJ. L. FieuX for the construction of the storm sewer on South Second avenue was approved. The mayor and city re- corder were instructed to enter into q contract with MT Vieux for the sewer. The reports of the city of fioials were received and filed.
 c. c. Lewis president of the White Line, appeared before the council and asked for an extension of ninety days in the franchise for construct ion of an electric road granted that company. After some discussion in which Mir Lewis stated that shortly new catitalists would take hold of the project the extension was made for six months.
