can trouble has hurt our bust
- ness I will look and see when
we sold the last ticket to Mexico from
this office" A. A. Escontrias, city agent
for the Mexican Central railroad said
Thursday afternoon, as he thumbed the
flimsies of his record copy book. Here
it is. On June 4 we sold the ticket
which closed our accounts for that
month and none have been sold since.
When you stop to think that our bust
ness through this office was more than
$4,000, Mexican money, a month during
the times that the railroad operated
without interruption. you can appreci-
ate what it is costing the company. No
trains have run out of the union station
for months to Mexico, and we are los
ing what little business originates in
JuareZ, as this office is not credited
with the sales made in the Juarez Of

Grass is short, the range is spotted
and this has been the worst season in
many years for the cattle business of
said Thursday. TOO many rains is the
cause of this range trouble, and it
seems as if it is either one or the 9TH
er-tOO much or too little rain-and the
cattle man suffers which ever way the
cat jumps The new tariff is not wor-
rylnS Arizona cOWmen, for we can al
ways find market and more for our
cattle. All the effect I can see will be
that the Mexican grower will simply
add the amount of the tariff to his
sale price and pocket the difference
Clifton is going forward and nothing
can stop II. The new smelter will be
blown in within few days and will
run steadily"
There is such a scarcity of rent
houses" said T. J. Cassidy, a real es-
tate man, Thursday, that when the
fall crowd of tourists comes next
month, l don't know what we will do
able is already rented The new bun
galOWs that have recently been built,
are almost all held for sale, and the
house question is really going to be
problem for the new corners"

San Francisco is the place to go to
see different kinds of Clothes said
Burt OrndOrff, who has just returned
coast. I never saw such dressing be-
fore. All the women dress exceptional
" well, from the wealthy class, to the
girls employed in the stores. Clothing
is not expensive out on the coast, but
then they wear so little of it now that
it wouldn't cost them very much any
way Slit skirts and transparent dress
es are the rule rather than the eXcep-
many of them, that you get used to
them, even a Southwestern bronco
doesn't shy at them any more. San
Francisco is such a cosmopolitan place
it is more like a city of Europe than
the United States. 1t certainly seems
good to get back into the cool here We
met very hot weather all along the
coast They say this summer has been
warmer there than any for the past As
years"
"Chamberino has lots of dogs" said
G. c. Smith. Il had occasion to pass

Cling any of them, but it wasn't be-
cause of lack of opportunity. The roads
were in pretty bad shape from the rain,
and at Anthony, where the bridge is
being repaired, we had to cross on
planks laid over the framework"
