LONG VIEW WANTS
 FIVE CENT CAR FARE
Residents of That District Petition Corporation Commission for Such
 an Order.

In the session of the corporation commission yesterday seevral matters were discussed and heard, among which were a petition from residents of the Long View tract for car fare cuts, the endorsement by the com mission of a new member of the In terstate commerce commission and the granting of the withdrawal of a stock selling petition by the Hoover Land and Irrigation company
 Residents of the Long View tract, al- leging that the present fare of 10 cents charged by the company for street car passage to the tract, which is little beyond the Indian school, is excessive, asked that the commis sion issue an order to the Phoenix Street Railway company requiring that corporation to declare 3 cent fare to the tract of land in question. A conference with the signers of the pc tition will be called, and at the meet ing the causes for the petition will be completely canVassed. when if suffi- cient reason is produced for the re duction desired, the company will be cited to show what reason they have for not issuing the reduction.
 The formal indOrsement of the Ari-

TWO NAMED ALVAREZ
 CONFUSE COURT RECORD
Alvino and Eugenio Of That Same ElI Keep Federal Officers Figuring
 as to Identities.

The comedy of errors had a scene reproduced in federal court yesterday when his honor. the attorney. the marshal and the jaiior succeeded in getting themseIves utterly baUed up over the similarity in names of two AlyareZ-es. When the day was done, and the shades of night commenced their customary falling fast no one knew how many times or how few. poor old Alviro had been sentenced to the regulation sixty days or whether Eugenio had ever received q sentence at all.
 The best record obtainabIe shows that Alviro pleaded guilty to selling liquor to an Indian two days ago and was sent up then. His case was re- corded, however. as that of Eugenio. Yesterday morning the marshal brought I'D AIvino q second time and the court tried to make out he was EUgerio and sentenced him once more. He exposed the secret of Eugenio's presence in the darksome dungeon of N1ricopa and at the afternoon ses- sion Judge SaWtelle had both of the AlvareX-es brought before him 50 he would be sure just what he did. He then pronounced sentence on the two of them, after having heard their pleas, and now. perhaps Alvino Ava reg and Eugenio Alvarez may go to the same or separate jails to rest in peace for space-about ninety days long.

are manifold. 1t has a territory that

is being developed. That development
has meant growth. Being the leading
town on the line it has attracted the
better class of business men,. Blind
pigging and gambling were prohibited
from the outset and the citizens showed
unusual interest in the churches and
schools. h again tended to attract
the better class of people. There was
no lawness, no rowdyism and no wild

today the much desired distinction of
being the cleanest city, large or small,
on the Missouri slope. In the fertility
of her tributary country Hettinger has
n of the essentials of a prosperous
town. The country roundabout is ad-
mirably suited to diversified farming,
the fertile level and rolling lands pro-
ducing all kinds of grains and phenom-
email yields of vegetables, potatoes,
corn and root crops, while the more
broken parts are a natural grazing
ground for the dairy herds OF the
farmer.

has been presented to the Re

The tariff bill puts a duty of
10 per cent on cattle, !" says Mr..
Britten. 1T would pay us, in
stead, to offer a bonus to get
cattle into the United States. In
1901 there were 100000 cattle
in the United States. Now we
have only 56,OOO,OO0, notwith-
standing the great increase in
population.
I'VE have the land and feed,
and Canada and Mexico have the
cattle. We could get their poor
stock in here for fattening if we
put cattle on the free list.
