Adveraising. H ates.

The Sulphur Valley N VS. deals
in facts When it says: "ln speak
ing of advertising, one OF our lar
gest advertisers, und who by the
way advertises largely i'll the ma
.jority OF the papers N Arizona
volunteered the information that
Arizona publishers charged a price
entirely too low for their space,
and some charged such a ridicu-
lously low price as to make them
almost ashamed to patronize such
papers. Our informant who did
not tell us what we did not know,
however, was honest in his speech
and asserted that they do not have
an advertisement in any paper but
what is worth infinitely more to
them as business getter than the
niggardly amount the great ma
]ority of publishers extract from
them for it. AMI we b liese th.
gentleman told The truth, not be-
cause he told it on Sunday, but b.
cause his firm are wide awake
young men, who watch the results
of their we'll golten up ads. and
know what they are worth from
the volume Of business they bring.
They are business men and do not
insist that Il publisher shall accept
a price higher than he asks, but
they ackn ow.ed5e that their bust
n ass done by their Advertising is
such that they can well afford to
pay deceit price. We wish it
were so that az an association, all
the leading publishers at least
would bind themselves together
in an agreement to adopt a certain
schedule Of rates to be strictly OBJ :
served and adhered to. Of our
own personal knowledge we know
that certain publishers not a days
bicycle ride from this point do not
charge for their advertising space
what it actually costs to "set" the
ad and then crow over their
crowded advertising columns. Any
business man knows that it is bust
ness to advertise, and it is an ac-
cepted fact that to advertise means
increase of business, just as surely
as to eat and drink promotes life
and health. This being the case,
and you all know it, why, brother
publishers will you insist on SELL
ing our goods below cost? One
column in the New York World
costs $4,000. per year. For SO
many cents some Arizona papers
would sell page for life time,
and it not only ruins themselves
but to certain degree every other
publisher in Arizona. 1t ought to
be stopped, and if our brethren
will join with us we can change
this"

The San Diego, Ymmn and
Phoenix H Railroad,

A San Diegan seeking capital in
New York to build railroad to
Yuma or water supply for the
city, will be asked the very first
thing, "Why don't the people of
San Diego build some themselvesp
Why? That's the question. We
have population of 1900 in
this city, and with 5000 more in
the neighboring towns ON the bay
region, we have total pop ulation
of 25, 900. who can build railroad
to Yuma or st cure the irrigation of
the lands of the bay region. The
only question is, elbow shall it
be donep It can be done, we firm :
ly believe. In war times, what
cannot an army Of $4,000 men ac-
complish? In peace, what cannot a
population Of $4,000 accomplish?
True, it is not necessary to have
the money on hand to build the
entire line But. it is necessary to
for all of the $4,000 people here on
this bay region to pull together.
After pulling together for one year
steadily, they would have an in.
crease of 10000 in population to
assist them and as many of the
newcomers would represent capi-
tai, they would assist materially in
accomplishing what the 25,OOO
originally had set out to bring
about. AS $4,000 people pulling
together for one year can accom-
plish a great deal, $4,000 people
can accomplish more the next year.
and SO OF, until the road to Yuma
(only l75 miles) has been confplst-
ed and our lands have secured the
reservoirs and bitches to irrigate
them. "God helps those who
help themselves" is quite true, and
Is applicable to San Diego. Let
US help ourselves, and after we
have helped ourselves by pulling
steadily together for one year, then
outside New York; capitalists
will help us. 1t is reasonable.
Let us stop waiting fol some out
siders to come here, whereby all Of
us $4,000 people here pulling to-
gether we can virtually secure
what we much desire and have
wanted for twenty-seven years
the direct east line of railroad
and the irrigation ssof all of the
lands Of the bay region then,
when they are secured, we will
prosper, er,-Nicaragua canal or no
Nicaragua canal,-then we will be
a great commercial city to make
use Of the Nicaragua Canal, when
it is built, and not be waiting
for the Nicaragua Canal to build
us up. Let's pull together for one
year. An army Of 25,000 can do
much in one year.-San Diego

A San Diego dentist is making
money i,nplanting dead teeth in
the jaws of live patients. One
woman carries thirteen implanted
teeth. The dentist simply drills a
hole in the toothless jawbone and
drives in a tooth with a nallet.
These implanted teeth do well.
They never ache. A rancher from
Vista recently had a tooth thus
implanted. He asked the dentist
to put in ''nigger's" tooth, if
possible, believing that an African
ivory had better staying qualities.
Human teeth for implanting are in
great demand. They are secured
from all sorts and conditions Of
men and women, dead and alive,
A set of these implanted teeth is
said to be very comforting if one
doesn't stop to think where they
some from.

The number of deaths in India
caused by bites of wild animals and
reptiles is on the increase. The
deaths from snake bites last year
We're 81 900 and in the same peri
cd nearly 10000 deadly snakes
were killed. Wild animals caused
the death of $500 persons in the
same year. The tigers killed near
ly 1000, leopards 29l, wolves 175,
bears l2l and elephants 68. On
the other hand, nearly $4,000 wild
beasts were killed, including near
ly 1900 tigers and more than
1000 leopards. In addition TO
the loss Of human life, nearly co.
900 head of cattle were destroyed.
The bounties offered by the gov
ernment seem Intellectual to de-
crease the number of wild animals.
Fishermen in India require an ex-
ira amount of whiskey bait as a
protection from snake bites.

The woman of today, as we hear
of her, belongs to class for each
day in the week and has every
afternoon and evening filled up
with gay functions. She is eager
to know all about politics, to III
derstand the great poets and writer's
OF the day, especially those that
arc counted the most difficult o
comprehend; She wants to belong
to societies that will m Ike the
world better and that will permit
her to talk about them in public
and yet she desires as we'll to keep
the position in life to which she
was born. Speak to her suddenly
and see her start. That means
over-tax Il nerves. Get her to
talking to you about one of her

notice the unnatural brilliancy of
her eyes and watch the quivering
of her lips and ber hands. That
woman is on the verge of nervous
prostration. And why? Because
she is permitting herself to be worn
out to interest people who do not

ganizatlon Commltteo's Report Is
Adoptsd-some People Favor tho
Mitchell Plan, Which Provides For
FREQ Toll.

Tho reorganization committee recent.
ly appointed by the stockholders OF tho
Wheeling Island Forty and Packe. Com.
pany at mass meeting, to prepare a
plan Of reorganization, or rather for n
now and auxiliary company with tho
object in Wow Of extricating tho com.
pany from Its present financial ombar.
ressmont and placing tho forty com.
pany on q sound basis, has called an.
other mass meeting OF those Interested
for this ovoning at 1880, whom the
committee will submit ito report and
ask that the plan It submits DO adopted.
Tho "details OF the plan adopted by
tho committee have leaked out aud arc
known by many Of tho Island people.
Tho plan, in substance, is tho Same that
was broached at tho last mass meeting.
1t provides for side company, on tho
lines Of the building association idoa,
and fixes sliding scale Of toll. Thus. n
single man takes one share OF stock, tho
dues on which are l2! cents week,
81 80 per year, entitling him to passage
on the ferry. A family man takes two
shares, his toll thus costing him SIS n
yoar. Those who have single carriages
take three shares and those owning
double rigs must subscribe to four
shares OF stock.
Tho plan. though 1t has been adopted
by tho committee, and may be ratified
at this evenings meeting. does not sat.
isty largo proportion OF tho Island
people. To begin with 1t is claimed
that the ferry toll! IL increased. in the
case OF family man about as much
again. The opposition to tho scheme
that will DO presented by the reorganiza.
ton committee tonight say that the
scheme advanced by prominent
banker is better by far than that pre-.
scented by the committee.
The following Is n sketch OF the
scheme: 1t provides for building as.
sociation, as 4 side is.ue to the original
ferry company. Every real estate own.
or on the Island is expected to sub.
scribe, on the basis OF one share for each
house: from this source about 1000
shares would be disposed OF. Another
thousand shares would be placed among
the business people who use the ferry
for their delivery wagons, ETC., and
among Islanders, not real estate own.
ers, who would ieel like encouraging the
fight for free toll. From these 1000
shares the yearly revenue would DO
about $4,000 About 5000 would be
expended yearly in running two ferry
bonts which yould be free To eysrv
body. man and beast. The balance
would 20 into reserve fund that in
time would be sufficient to buy one
or two bridges, say the promoters Of the
idea.

made lp y 365 lays, 5 hours. 4S min
ptes and len seconds, or IL minutes
aud 10 seconds less than 1904. Gaze
sar gave also The current number Of
days to lbe months, and his calendar
as q whole was so excellent and its
errors were so slight that II was gem
orally adopted.
Until the year 1852 A. d no change
was made in it, but by that time the
IL minutes and 10 seconds of error in
each year had grown to ten complete
days. AS result the time of Easter
was shifted from its true place and all
the movable feasts of the church,
which are reckoned from it, were
thrown out of the proper order. To
remedy the resultant annoyances Pope
Gregory XIII. ordered that October
5, 1852, should be reckoned as Octo-
Der 15, 1852. To guard against re-
currance Of the trouble Pope Gregory
also decreed that every hundredth
year should not be leap year, save
every four hundredth, but that excep-
ton beginning only at 1000 A. ID.
The excellence OF Gregory's device j,
obvious, since brief computations
shows that the total discrepancy by
his calendar would amount to no more
than one day in 5000 years.
Italy, Spain and Portugal unhesitat-
ingly followed the p pes direction
France made the change in the same
year, in December instead OF October
as did also tlie Low Countries. The
Protestants, in the fury of the Refor-
nation refused to make any such
change, and persisted in refusing until
100, when the Lutherans of Germany
and Switzerland adopted the new sys
tenn. BY that time the continuance o.
the old error made Unnecessary to make
a change of eleven days instead of ten.
Scotland adopted the system in 1000 :.
England refused TO yield until lT5l.
When the bill was first introduced it
failed, but prejudice was not able to
totally destroy common sense, where
fore, "a George H., 175l made the cal
endar Of Great Britain and Ireland to
agree with the Gregorian. Russia,
Greece ,Roumania and the like races
yet retain the old method, as result
of which, when one sends letter from
one of these countries to some region
where the calendar has been corrected
it mnst be doubly dated, as, for exam
pie, in this fashion, there being twelve
days difference now; January 1-l3,
or June 20, July 2.
Not one of the least remarkable
features of the century year is that it
leaves those unhappy mortals to
whom something happened on Febru-
airy 80 without their anniversary for
eight years.
