of the road, and the appointment OF
receivers is expected to bring about
a Reorganization. Shortly before the
court proceedings were held the di-
rectors held a meeting and voted not
to oppose the suit. In court they ad-
mitted the allegations in the bill in
equity and asked to be permitted to
join in the suit.

100000 and has $2,535.250 in out

Refrigerator freight car service on the Southern Pacific to Bisbee, Tue son, Douglas and other southern points, together with a new depart ment, furnishing markets for the farm produce of the Salt River Valley were announced yesterday by Travelling Sparks. The outlet for fresh vege- tables, dressed poultry, butter, eggs and cheese is now about to become q .reality-according to MT. Sparks. who will now commence urging the farm CTS to build more of such crops.
 Once a week for a time, and after the traffic develops, twice each seven days, the refrigerator car will be run out of Phoenix. About all that re- mains to be arranged is the matter of rates. Application has been made to the corporation commission for aid in fixing schedule of rates
 Some say that one of the chief drawbacks to this excellent agricul- tural region is it's inaccessbility, and the difficulty of finding and then reaching markets. It is to obviate some of those difficulties that the new service is being installed. Its re suits will be watched with a great deal of interest
