Representative Lehlbach was willing
to yield on the proposition of differ

ABOUT THE STATE

merce. the county board of super yisors and the highway commission, it is expected that 8 quarter of a million dollars will be secured from the state, county and federal governments for the improvements of roads in Santa Cruz county.
 It was decided at a get-together meeting of the chamber of commerce to call two mass meetings, one at Patagonia and the other at Nogales, for the purpose of discussing thoroughly the various phases of the proposition. Attorneys Barry Bird and County At torney Leslie Hardy were appointed a committee to ascertain whether or not county funds voted for certain districts could be legally diverted for a general plan to be mapped out-Herald.
 To Stop Car Service
 DOUGLAS a meeting of tho di- rectors of the Douglas Traction and Light company it was determined to discontinue the operation of the street car service on Saturuay next. The loss of business by the street car com pany cannot be attributed to the de- crease of population in the city, but to the loss of patrons for the street ears. The loss of business has been growing more apparent as the number of automobiles increased in Douglas It is estimated that now there are
 
 Of Douglas and vicinity, who without the auto would be possible customers for the street car service.
 The principal business of the street cars has been the soldiers and men employed at the srlelteFs. but both these sources have been failing with increasing persistencY during tiie past year. due to the loss of soldiers from the Douglas garrison and to the reduc- jon of forces at both snlelter5.
 It had been rumored for sometime that the matter of disseminating the street car service was under considera- ton but the hope had been clung to that conditions might be promoted which would avert this. Now it seems that the owners of the street car sys- tenn have decided that they cannot bear the loss entailed in continuance Of operation.-Internat tional.

The reason given for using cement in the building is that the temple can be built within two or three years by using the cement. while the construction of granite and tufa would take from eight to ten years. Another advantage was that unskiiled labor could be used in the cement construction. giving em- ployment to a great many of the cot ton workers. when they are not en- gagged in work in the cotton fields Souths:de Union.

RUSTLERS DRIVE ARIZONA
 CATTLE OVER UTAH LINE

Information of we'll organized plan to rustic cattle from Arizona has been received by Secretary E. w. Stephens of the state livestock sani- tary board, who immediately took steps to prevent the depradations, state inspectors, Mohave county au- thorities and Utah officials having been already notified.
 Registration in Utah of brands sim liar to those held in Arizona, so that cattle from this state could be driven across the line and sold, is the re- ported plan of the cattle rustlers. And to prevent further registrations of identical brands, Secretary Stephens has advised Thomas Redmond, Utah livestock inspector, of the matter.
 Brands owned by G. T. Duncan, of "Diamond Bar," and Henry Bacon's "H. E." brand are those said to have been duplicated. Cattle from these herds have been sold in Washington county, Utah, it is reported.
 According to information received the rustlers, when selling cattle stolen in Utah, claim that the animals had "strayed across the line" The sim ilarity of brands has enabled them, it is said, to do considerable business.
