Head of Freight Traffic of Santa Fe in the West Pays Visit to Phoenix and is Shown Sections Resources

Edward Chambers, and his son Ben. of San Francisco, were in Phoenix Sat urday. Mir Chambers is at the head of the freight traffic of the Santa Fe railroad in the West and he came here along with several other prominent Santa Fe men to confer with the cor poration commission upon matters per- taining to the rulings of the commits sion with regard to freight rates in Arizona. But despite the important conference in which he and his associ- ates engaged at the Capitol in the morning, Mir. Charmbers and the oth- CTS found opportunity to make a trip about the valley, see the orange groves. take tea at the Country club and in several ways secure a pretty good. first hand idea of the resources of this section.
 When MT. Chambers announced that he would be in Phoenix on January 4 Paul P Hastings, assistant general freight agent. of the Santa Fe with headquarters in San Francisco, w. G. Barnwell, general freight agent at Los Angeles; s. C. Payson, general agent a San Diego; F. P. Cruice assistant general freight and passenger agent, of the Santa Fe al Prescott; J. S Leeds, manager of the Refrigerator Dispatch, of Chicago, and Vice President and General Manager w. A. Drake, of the Santa Fe in Arizona, arranged that they would all meet in this city on that date
 MT. Chambers early in the day gave expression to what he had been hear ing of the Salt River valley section and stated the he was glad that busi ness called him here. as it gave him the opportunity to look into conditions a little himself and determine just how much was so and how much was boost ing material. And when the time came for his departure after he had been over the valley and seen some of the resources of this section he was en- thusiastic in saying that not half had been told
 Why 1 though l knew all Phoenix and the Salt River valley. It is true 1 have not been here recently but l never dreamed that section could ex- perience such wonderful growth and attain to such a degree of importance in a few years as Phoenix and the sur rounding section seems to have done.
 T have seen today some of the fin est orange groves upon which l ever laid eyes. And 1 have been told of the unlimited supply of water to be had under the Roosevelt dam. l want to say that not your most ardent booster is telling one-half of the things that might be said of this section and truth fully I predict a wonderful future for this section and long continued growth and prosperity"
 MT Chambers and his son left Satur- day night for Chicago. while others of the party returned to their homes. few remaining to spend Sunday in this city.

BANANA DEAL
 0F PROPORTIONS
$120,746.63 Paid by South American Banana Trust for Honduras Develop ment Company, an Ari- zona Corporation

The biggest banana deal ever con sumated in Phoenix was complied recently when Ned Creighton, receiver for the Honduras Development com pany an Arizona corporation or ganized for the purpose of going in to the banana plantation business in Spanish Honduras. upon an order out of Judge Phillips court obtained from the United Fruit company the South American Fruit and Transportation Trust. check for $120, ,746.63. This will shortly be distributed among the stock holders of the Honduras De- velOpment company and the affairs of that corporation brought to an end.
 The history of this venture is in teresting The Honduras Develop ment company is a corporation formed under the laws of the territory of Arizona the charter having been taken out number of years ago. The primary object of the organization was to engage in the banana industry in Honduras A plantation of 500 acres was secured from the Honduras government and the company started DuSlneSS. 1neN bulll Si Oetu Scili1 ten miles in length for the purpose of getting their friut to tideWater, of getting their fruit to tidewater at a cost of some $100,000. In the meantime stock and bonds of the company had been placed in the Unite States to the amount of 500,000
 Just as the prospect looked good for the venture a flood washed them out. and the flood was followed by a severe drought which crimped the concern. They then entered into deal with the United Friut company and sold out for 275,O00, at the same time entering petition in the super for court of MaricOpa county for receivership The United Fruit com pany intervened and asked an order of the court autorizing them to pay in cash the amount noted above as received by Ned Creighton. claiming that the balance of the $275.000 had been paid out to liquid the debts of the Honduras company.
 The order of the court was entered and the amount of cash paid over. This is probably the end of the only known Arizona Banana corporation which in the exingencies of fate be- comes a part of the big banana trust.

POULTRY SHOW
 LOOKING GOOD
Arrangements About Com plete; Entries Close Next Saturday Night; Turkeys, Ducks, Geese. Pigeons, Rabbits and Cats

The entries for the first annual show of the Arizona Poultry associa- tiOn will close on Saturday evening, next according to the announcement made by Secretary Marshall Hum
 hreys last evening. By that time all the arrangements will have been com pleted and in readiness for the open ing of the big event which is for Arizona birds only on Monday morn ing.
 An entry fee of 9 cents for each bird entered and 100 for pens has been established and it is expected that with this low rate there will be great number of birds from all sections of the state entered in the show. An attempt is being made to obtain enough collapsible show pens for use at the show so as to have the birds displayed in the best pos sibIe manner. These pens are rent able and can be repacked and shipped back to the owners.
 A special arrangement has been made whereby turkeys geese. ducks. pigeons and cats can be entered for show purposes. adding to the attract iveness of the display as well as it's variety The premium list for the show has been completed and now aggregates some 500 in addition to eight silver cups that have been of fered by the various poultry clubs of the country. Owing to the lateness of organization the rules and regula- tiOns were not sent to the printer in time for them to have been delivered last week but they will be from the press this week and will be sent out to poultry -fapciers as fast as possi- ble. In the meantime a formal let ter inviting all interested in poultry to enter birds was sent to every grower of birds in the state.

MEET
 EAT AND TALK
Hold Annual Dinner at Hotel Adams, Feed the Inner Man and Inciden- tally Edify Their Pro- feSSiOnal Minds

Probably not in the history of the Maricopa County Medical Society has that organization held a more enjoy able affair than the annual banquet of Saturday evening at the Hotel Adams. And not alone from a point of pleasure was the affair a success. but from that of real profit derived from the toast responses. Thirty two covers were laid for thirty local and two visiting doctors and it was d late hour before the assemblagc had finished the appetiZing menu and had listened to the last talk by those upon the program.
 Dr. 0. E. Plath acted as toastmas- ter. It is said by those present that in that capacity Dr. Plath excelled presiding in a manner so agreeable and so decidedly appropriate that several were on the point of pro- posing him for the office for the remainder of his natural life.
 The only unfortunate incident in connection with the pleasing program arranged entirely by Dr. Plath, was frey. Jr., to deliver his talk on
 
 was that the Baloptican was not working and the doctor was there fore unable to present the charts which he considered a very necessary adjunct to his discussion
 Dr. Roy Thomas in presenting his talk on city and county hospital. pre- scented probably the most interesting discussion of the evening. He ind!- cated that he was thoroughly fam- liar with the needs of this city for municipal hospital and had several valuable suggestions to offer as to how much a needed adjunct could be secured and maintained
 Dr. Sargent was given the subject of Therapeutic Suggestion" and proved conclusvely that it is a phe- nomna with which he is quite fami liar.
 There were several other talks, all of which held the closest interest of all present.

ONE SEES LION
 OTHER GETS HIM
Some Inside Facts About the 'Hunting'' Trip of Mcssrs. Te D ben and Black Into Wilds of Four Peaks

Tebhen saw the lion first but Black got the honor. That's the story in a nutshell of the trip of A. H. Tebben. Republican composing room foreman. and Fred Black, slug four on the lino- type battery, to the Roosevelt country, and the capture of a mountain lion that had been terrorizing that section for many moons. And it was no fairy tale. for Tebben and Black have the pelt to show for it.
 It all came about the first day out. The two inrepid hunters who went after quail and landed coyotes, badgers, mountain lions and other deniZcns of the hills, had reached Fish Creek. They spent the night at Canyon Inn and during the evening were regaled by the story told by Mine Host C. NJ. Ed mOnds, of the big lion that had been creating havoc around that section and striking terror to the hearts of the timid.
 Wen get that lion said Tebben and Black in one breath and were sorry the minute they had spoken.
 The next morning a start was made and it wasn't more than an hour later that Tebben sniffed and remarked that he smelled something that reminded him of a cage in a menagerie. Black smiled and attributed the supposed odor of wild beast to the fancy of his partner. And then Tebben whispered the fatal words.
 See, Black, ahoy wonder on that high cliff, 'Tis not wood nor stone. 'Tis animate, it breathes and gosh I'm in hurry"
 Black was frozen to the spot all though it was warm day. He earned the artillery and mechanically in his fright the gun went slowly to his shoulder. Just as he was about to leave the gun suspended in the air and join Tebben a mile down the road, the durned thing went off and the lion, badly frightened stuck a claw in his side and rolled over. The wound the lion made in his fright resembled gunshot wound closely enough so that Tebben and Black didn't have the slightest hesitancy in going back to the Canyon Inn and asking Edmonds to please skin the dead monarch of the Four Peaks.
 It was their first lion and probably their last. But up Fish Creek way Messrs. Tebben and Black are looked upon now as the great lion hunters of Arizona. And they aren't saying word to dispel the dream. Its funny how the truth of these things leak out
 Tebben and Black got back yester- day and each triad to work, but it was noticeable that every now and then one or the other gave quick glance behind as if expecting something. But that may have been purely imaginary on the nart of the innocent hXStanderS

PARCEL POST
 BUSINESS B|G
Local Office Has Received
 Few Additional Packages fol, Delivery But Great Numbers of Parcels Are
 Being Sent From Phoenix

The local postoffice is obtaining great deal larger income from the pracel post business than was at first anticipated IL was thought that for the first month or so the increase in business as q result of the in no.Ition would hardly be appreciable but this has proved to be a mistake Already the daily stamp sales have increased more than $200 per day even though the new departure has not been operating for a week. What the effect of il will be when yea' has passed is problematical but it is expected by that time the Phoenix merchants will be using the parcel post as a means of delivery of pra- cells all over the state, thus con trolling practically the maid order business of the state and making Phoenix a commercial center twice as prominent as the city now is.
 Contrary to the general expectation the number of freak shipments by parcel post is very small, seeming to indicate desire on the part of the patrons of the office to avail them selves of the utility of the schemc rather than of it's novelty. While there are a great number of parcels being sent throughout the state from the local office, the number of pra- cels being received over and above the number of fourth class packages that used to come regularly is but very little. At that. however, it is neces- sary to employ additional help in the office to handle the traffic.
 For a while yet and probably unti the postOffice moves to the new fed eral building. the parcel post window and the stamp window are being com bined. All packages have to be weighed and sized and a special red parcel post stamp placed thereon This has caused quite a little diff culty in the Phoenix office. mainly because of the general impression that any sort of stamps would do These little matters however are eX- pected to be easily cleared up when the general public learns more about the service. It is essential to place the parcel post stamp on the pack age before it can be sent by that branch of Uncle Sam's postOffice.
 regular wagon delivery has been installed within the city limits for the parcels and placed in charge of a letter carrier of experience. There have also been additional clerks hired to care for the new service. That Il will expand to still a greater degree is expected not only in the local or flee but over the entire country is the general belief. The postoffice de partment has stepped over the hard and fast rule heretofore in effect with regard to extra help in the postof- flee and since initiating the parce' post has given greater degree of lat itude to the postmasters in the em- ployment of additional help when needed.
