Noted Tax Case
 Again Brought Up

Au old tsI euit pending since 1901, when it was filed in Cochise county sg gsinst the Copper Queen Consolids,. cd Mining company for delir quent taxes, will be heard by the supteme court h Washington in December, according to letter received ty E 8 Clark former attorney general when Arizona was a territory, from the clerk Of the supreme court. If the stste wins, about s2OO.O00 will be turn'd over by the mining company, the g eater part of which will go to Cochise county, and the rem ainder to the state trs asury.
 Mir Cisrk, who is resident of Pres- colt, filed the communication from
 Wa .hington with the commission. Clark and Attorney General Bullard
 will represent the state at the hearing.
 This cult started when the super-
 visors of Cochise county, in 1901,
 raised the valuation of the copper
 company about 5000. GOO. It was
 resisted by the company and taken
 into court. Later it was compromised by the board of supervisors and subse-
 auently taken up by Attorney Geners
 al Clark. The action of the board
 was set aslde on the grou ,ds that the
 board didn't have the authority to
 make the compromise.
 The e.ate was given a status in tcoaTt at a hearing before Judge F NJ
 Doan Of Tombstone and c decision
 was rendered adverse 10 the stste. An appeal was made to the territorial
 surreme court. Just before the ter. ritorial supreme court went out of , existence decision, written by Judge , E NJ Lewis, upheld Doan's decision
 prohibiting Cochise county from col- , lectipg taxes on the raise.
 Attorney General Clark appealed 70 the Uuited States supreme court, whe'e the case has res'ed until tine |. present time Both Clark and the l attorney general are of the opinion s that the state has an excellent chance e of winning the action.
 The original tax win the raise g amounted to sl22 ,657 O9. Of this
 amount the copper company paid E Sl4.133 F and later on compromise ed :. Tor an additional amount of s95s9. 20. e The compromise was later set .side The balance due, together with in . r terest for about twelve years, amou Is P Ito approximately S200.OO0.
 ] Attorney E B Ellinwood of Bisbee . and Frederick x Judsou of St Louis

NOLET-UPI IN MOLINE
BUILDING PROGRAM

While most other cities in the coun-
try are experiencing a slowing up in
building activities Moline is going
ahead without any sign of letup. In
the last 10 months 352 building per-
mits have been issued, against 3O3
for the same period prior to April 1.
While the percentage of residences is
larger, the total cost, basing the esti-
mate on the amount of the fees col
lected by the city, is greater than a
year ago. The approach of colder
weather has had no effect, for as
many as nine permits have been is.
sued in a single day this month. Sta
tistics from a number of cities all
fover the. country, gathered by the
Construction News, show that there
was a decrease in general building
during August of 81 per cent as com
pared with the same month a year
ago.

SELL HORSE MEAT?
NO,SAYSEASTMAN
But It Is Up to Commissioner
to Show Authority For Bar
ring 1t From Market.

How to prevent the sale of horse
meat in Moline is a problem with
which Commissioner Z. l.. Eastman is
wrestling. Perhaps he will not pre-
vent it, but he means to try. He has
looked up the law in the case and ad
mits that he has found nothing in the
statutes to bar horse meat from the
markets.
Inquiry into the subject was
prompted by telephone call from a
local butcher who asked if he would
be allowed to sell sausage made from
horse flesh. The commissioner prompt
ly replied no, and now it is up to him
to show why equine sausage is taboo
The butcher did not give his name
but said he would later call at the city
hall to apply in person for a permit
and also would bring a sample of the
sausage for the city officers to test
While nobody at the city hall has ex
pressed desire to taste of horse sau
sage it has been ascertained that a
large proportion of the foreign ele
ment here will be much pleased if it is
placed on the market, having been &C
customed to eat horse flesh in Europe
where it is esteemed a delicacy. In
stead of being the meat of the poor
there it is more costly than beef Oh
pork and only the weather. families
can afford it.

Get TOGETHER ON
COUNTY BRIDGES
East Moline Club Disavows In
tention of Fostering
Sectionalism.

Directors Of the East Moline Com
mercial club at a meeting last even
ing disavowed any intention of fos-
tering sectional differences in this
county, but stated that they would not
retreat from their stand Gin favor of
helping Henry county force the fight
for a bridge across Rock river at Co
Iona. It was made plain that the club
will not oppose bridge at Cleveland
being, in fact, in favor of having a
crossing provided for both places.
Neither will the club oppose a bridge
at the mouth of the stream for the
benefit of the lower end of the county,
but will favor projects at both Colona
and Cleveland first. 1t will not be &C.
lively concerned with the reopening
Of the controversy as between the two
upper end sites.
The club will, in fact, exert its in,
fuence for any get-together move
ment that may be started with refer.
ence to Rock river bridges or 1other
measures for the good of the county
at large.
The committee in charge of ar,
engagements for an auto run by the
club was instructed to arrange for one
during the next three weeks if 6
sufficient number OF automobiles
could be listed. The run was to have
taken place several weeks ago, but
was postponed on account of the heat
and the dust.

MARKS ON THE BAGGAGE.
They Tell Walters Abroad the Kind Of
Man the Owner Is.


Much Travelled persons who careful
ly examine their trunks will find there
on q number of cabalistic marks which
they probably put down to the wear
and tear imposed on the baggage. As
a matter of fact. the signs come. not
of chance. They are placed there by
the walters at the various hotels
whereat the traveller has stayed and
have a direct meaning.
A sort of freemasonry exists among
walters at European hotels. They
have a system of marking baggage so
as to tell other walters the manner OF
man that the traveller is as regards
tipping.
The traveller who arrives at a hotel
with his baggage marked with a
straight upright line on either side OF
the locks is sure of good attention.
He is classified as very liberal" A
horizontal straight mark in the upper
right hand corner of a trunk means
that the owner is no good at all. while
If this mark is accompanied by V
mark it signifies to the waiting fra
ternity that the traveller is the limit
entirely hopeless.
A cross mark on the lower right
hand corner conveys the intelligence
that the owner of the trunk is rather
eccentric, but worth paying attention
to. A diagonal mark in the lower left
hand corner speaks of person who Is
eccentric without being liberal.-Lon-
