city and the Borough of Roosevelt in
connection with its fast line, which
will connect this city with Elizabeth
| and Newark. To that end the COM
pany is endeavoring to secure the use
OF the New Jersey Terminal line
which extends out of Roosevelt across
its fast line track Just north Of Port
Reading. 1t is understood that the
Public Service company has leased
or Is about to lease thr old line for
long term Of years for that purpose
The intention is to run Roosevelt

extension from Sewaren to Port
Reading, over the fast line and on
the New Jersey Terminal track.
1t is officially announced by the
Public Service Railway Company that
arrangements are underway with the
Central Railroad Company to use the
Jersey terminal line and also for an
extension from sewaren to Port
Reading by means of which connec-
ton may be made between Perth

tlat1ons have not approached a point
of contamination as yet.
The New Jersey Terminal line Is q
single track built by Edward Savage
several years ago. 1t extends from
the central portion of Roosevelt
across the Central tracks near Port
Reading and past the New Jersey Re-
formatory grounds to connect with
the Pennsylvania line. According to
all reports, the Central railroad
bought it to keep the Pennsylvania
out of Roosevelt and the track has
not since been in use.
Regarding rates of fare likely to
be changed between this city and
Roosevelt, the company states 1t Is
yet too early to discuss fares and
transfer privileges.
A right of way has been secured
for an extension from the present
Perth Amboy-Rahway trolley line
from Sewaren to Port Reading. This
is to run on a line parallel with West
avenue and west of that thorough
fare. 1T will connect with the pres
ent line near the Sewaren railroad
station.
Satisfactory progress is being
made upon the fast line, which will
extend from Newark to Elizabeth and
towards this city. The Public Service
company hopes to have regular ser
vice over this line at least by July

The Lehigh Valley company claims
the act unconstitutional In that II

braces more than one object contrary

CASUAL VISITOR SEES
 OPPORTUNITIES HERE

When Theodore Roosevelt, as presi- dent of the United States, said of the land along the Colorado River: Ten acres will support a family; will be worth $1,500 per acre." he no doubt exercised his well known keen insight into the affairs of the future.
 Recent events have all tended to prove the wisdom of his prophecy.
 Only yesterday sale was made for ten acre tract of Yuma valley land at $40O per acre, which is probably the best price yet realized for Yuma valley acreage-rich though it is.
 The J. w. Edwards agency, repre- senting s. M. Filipovich last even ing turned over deed to G. H. Payne for ten acres of choice land two and half miles west of town
 MT. Payne is familiar with irriga- tion projects and recently sold out his interests under the Twin Falls Qda- ho) irrigation project and with his family went east to New York to visit the old home. The lure of the West, however, was too strong for him to resist, and he soon decided to come west again, and, en route, to Califor- mia, stopped over for a day to visit this project.
 Though his Investigations here were very short, it convinced him that Yu- ma offered the field he sought and the result was the purchase of a Yuma tract.
 MT. Payne's family is now on the way to Yuma from the East, and will make Yuma their future home.
 MT. Payne has also secured an op- tion on another 10-acre tract, with a stipulated price of $500 per acre, and he intends to still further invest in Yuma valley acreage.
 It may be stated that MT. Payne's visit to Yuma, which was merely in the nature of a stop-over of a day, again calls attention to the import ance of taking proper methods to in terest visitors to this section, and i'm press upon their minds the fact that Yuma extends beyond the depot and a few sand hills near by. MT. Payne was not at first favorably impressed with the Yuma view, but was finally persuaded by MT. Edwards to visit the beautiful Yuma valley, and he is now warmly appreciative of the fact that he did so, and followed it up by a purchase of farm land that has no su- perior in the world.

ID MOBILIZE TROOPS
 AT PRESCOTT ARE BEING MADE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. tS.-Thar the United States vii De Fsedy fol any possible conflict vilh Mexico is shown by the preparations being made daily in Arizona and other bor der states by the war department.
 Richard D. LaGarde, first lieuten ant U. s. A., who occupies an office with Adj Gen. c. W. Harris at the capitol, received a telegram today from Department Commander Gen Tasker Bliss at Fort Som Houston Texas, ordering him to proceed to Prescott to draw plans on the ground fer the First Arizona infantry, near Fcl Whipple..
 The arrangement is tentative. The war department takes the step in or der to have fixed place to estab- fish barracks for the troops in case they are ordered out They will be ready for any sudden emergency.
 While the Arizona mobilization quarters have not been definitely fixed, the telegram from Gen. Bliss shows that Parescott is favored, but that Tucson and Fort Huachuca are being considered.
 In case war is declared the troops will hurry to Fort Whipple, pitch their tents and have barracks, ac- cording to Lieutenant LeGarde's plans, erected within three weeks. A force of carpenters can be ordered immediately and telegrams sent to Flagstaff for lumber in case of an emergency.
 Lieut.. LaGrade's plans will call for wooden buildings for the troops. Several old shacks along the railroad will be torn down to make room for the barracks which will be construct ed where the old garrison used to be.
 The Fort Whipple site will be se- lected as the Arizona mobilization point if the troops are called out within the next month. If any later than that time, the rifle range at Tucson may be chosen, as the govern ment will send engineers to investi- gate the Tucson site within a month.
 A short time ago the war depart mont investigated Prescott as a mob iliZation point. Later the rifle range at Tucson was suggested on account of the southern city being closest to the border it with good railroad ia cilities

Is SUGGESTED ID ALL YUMA SHOPPERS BETTER SELECTIONS CAN BE MADE NOW-WHOLE STOCKS ARE FRESH AT PRESENT IT ALSO MAKES IT EASIER ON THE aARD-WORkED CLERKS, AND THEY ARE DESERVING
 OF SOME CONSID-
 ERATION

No mater how many times it has been repeated, the injunction to do your shopping early" has direct bear ing upon every individual in Yuma who expects to use the stores in prep aration for Christmas. This is not merely matter of merchants inter- ests, but it is to the advantage of the buyers. Do your Christmas shopping early because you can get better ser vice now than later. Do it because you can get better choice of goods. Do it because it is a contribution to the welfare of the clerks in the stores to equalize the pressure as much as possible. Do it because you can more accurately determine your scale of Christmas investments now than dur ing the last rushing days before the holidays.
 Early shopping ought to De habit with the majority of people The stores furnish inspiration to the Christ mas gift seeker weeks before Decem- Der 25, spreading their attractive ar rays of goods forth for selection. And there is small chance that by buying now one will miss specialities that may be put on the market later The merchants make their own prepara- tions for the Christmas trade many months in advance, and are as well prepared for the business in October as in December. It is only fair to them to reciprocate. They have in- vested immense sums of money in their stocks, and, naturally, they pre- fer to have them moved as soon as possible
 This is business matter. It is the business of the buyer as we'll as the seller. Yuma needs no special admoni- tion on this score, for it has hereto fore responded promptly to the sug- gestion of early shopping, and it is even now attending daily to the Christ mas buying in wise anticipation of the day of gift-making.

Since the citizens of Arizona last gave thanks in unison to the Creator for a bountiful harvest and other bless ings mercifully bestowed, the cycle of year has neared completion, bringing to every state and nation it's burden of disaster, or rightful gift of plenty; to every human heart it's share of gladness or of sorrow, it's allotted portion of ecstasy or pain. Withstanding every menace of civil and external nature, Arizona, with a relatively ideal government in which both men and women, with equal en- franchisement and responsibility, CO., operate for the general good, has pass ed triumphant each separate crisis, while preserving peace and it's attend ant prosperity; and garnering from every source of plenty the wealth that nature had to give, has used these natural treasures with judicious lib erality; has honored toll with it's just return, and has rewarded thrift with the satisfaction of temporal needs, industry with it's increment, and the pursuit of happiness with the object of it's quest.
 It is fitting, therefore, that Arizona's citizens should feel grateful to the
