FINISHING TOUCHES COMPLETE

Work which has been progressing for the past three months on the consolidation of the Overland and Arizona Telephone Company systems in Tempe was brought to close last Saturday evening. The finishing touches have been added and the early part of the week new number book will be issued to the patrons Of the Mountain States Telephone end Telegraph Company at this place. Every business house and residence within mile of the main office is now eQuippepd with a pri- yate line, feature that has been almost entirely lacking in Tempe in the past. Patrons outside of that district are furnished with the party line, there being not over three or fCur phones on any one line. The force of men which have been em- ployed in Tempe will be transferred to Mesa this morning, where opera = tions will be resumed on the consoli- dation of the two systems at that place.

REAL ESTATE SALES
 ARE INCREASING
Dealers Report Quite a Lively De- mand for Farm Holdings in the
 Vicinity Of Mesa.

Within the past week there has been increased activity in the real estate market. All the dealers have been rushed with applications for Mesa lands, especially lands suited to the cultivation of citrus fruits. The cold wave in California came early this season and has been remark ably severe. Every day brings men from that state who are looking for locations here. believing that both the soil and climate and freedom from insect pests are destined to make the Salt River Valley an ideal section for the growth of all kinds of citrus fruits. As d result several big deals are now under way and are expected to be consummaued De- tcre the first of the year. While there is no deaTth of suitable land, the realty dealers are pushed to find cultivated lands that the owners are willing to part with. several offers which carried prices above the aver age, have been turned down
 Reports from Chandler are to the effect that that section is also do- ing lively business in the transfer of realty holdings. The sales are in creasing daily and are fully double what they were during the summer months.
 In Mesa the transfer of town lot. has also enjoyed a small boom, : great deal of building is going on an( contracts for a number of creditabIt residences are being left. At pres 1 ent it is a difficult matter to locate all the strangers who seek winte homes within the town. Tents ant tent houses are becoming numerous as makeshifts and the lodging house
 are generally kept well filled.

4 QUIET DAY.

Sunday was quiet day in Mesa. People generally rested from the strenuous activities of the week past, attending church, or took quiet drives over the surrounding country. The merchants had the busy week of the year, during the six days closing Saturday night. There appears to be disposition on the part of a large portion of the population to do their Christmas shopping early. This sen sible move is no doubt largely due to the frequent appeals in The Re publican to shop early and thus give some consideration to the clerks, who are at best overworked during the holiday season.

NOW FOR THE "TERROR."
Senator Ben Tillman Plans Greatest
"Living" Battlcship.

Washington, July 10.-Senator
sought to launch In the Senate 2
movement to have the United States
build the best battleship the world
can ever construct, and then with
draw from the international race for
big battleships, but the movement
stuck in the ways.
The South Carolina Senator had
his battleship resolution all pre-
pared, and showed 1t to numerous
Senators, but decided to defer its
presentation on account Of the Lori
mer case having right Of way.
Senator Tillman would namo the
proposed drcadnaught the Terror"
He would provide the maximum
thickness Of armor, the maximum
size OF gun, the maximum speed and
the maximum size that would enter
dry docks and pass through the Pan
ANA Canal. Senator Tillman prefer
rcd the name "Terror" to "Skeered-
o-Nuthin'," suggested once by Sena-
tor John Sharp Williams in the
House as the name for an American
ship outranking in size the English
dreadnaughts.
Senator Tillman's resolution would
call upon the naval affairs commit
tee to investigate the details Of the
very best battleship possible and to
report whether one such overpowel-
ing vessel would not be better for
the United States than to continue
''by increasing taxation TO spend the
millions and millions Of dollars now
In prospect in the race for naval su-
prcmacy."
LET us find out just how far we
can go with any degree Of safety, and
go there at once" said Senator Till
man. Let the Terror become the
peaccmaker Of the world; let us
leave some money in the treasury
for other and more necessary and
useful expenditures, such as good
roads, controlling the floods Of the
Mississippi, draining the swamp lands
in the South and irrigating the arid
lands in the West"

SuReI-FOur Have Died.

Augusta, Ga, July 10.--It has

TARIFF REVISION WAR CRY.
Col. Rooscvclt's Party May Demand
Reform of Schedules

Oyster Bay, y. Y, July 10.-Im-
mediate downward revision Of the
tariff Is likely to be one Of the de-
manls by the new party headed by
Col. Roosevelt While the former
President was noncommittal to-day
regarding the course he would urge
the Chicago convention Of the new
party to adopt, It developed from
the talk of a number Of leaders to-
day who have conferred with Col.
Roosevelt in the last few days that
the party doubtless will declare for
immediate revision. According to
the present program, the demand for
legislation would be restricted to the
schedules which, in the opinion Of
the party heads, are obviously too
high. The woolen and cotton sched-
ules were pointed out as perhaps the
best examples.
Whether the platform will enum-
crate specific schedules and pledge
the party to scale them downward,
or Will make merely a general declar-
alton Of the principle upon which
the party will act, has not been de-
cidcd.
Col. Roosevelt has been told that
the sentiment of the country, espc-
cially in the West, where his largest
measure Of support is looked for, Is
emphatically in favor Of quick action
on the tariff. The election OF a Dem
ocratic majority in the House Of Rep
resentativcs i'm 1910 was cited in sup
port of the argument that the pro-
gressive patry must pledge itself to
downward revision.
