ON A LEVEL.
The Salt River Valley
and California.
The Former Made Even
With the Latter
In the Matter of Rates on Fruit
to Eastern Markets.
The Arrangement With a Superior
Climate Gives the Valley an
Important Advantage.

There is likely to be some profit in
raising fruit in the Salt River valley.
There certainly has never been any.
In experimental shipments which grow
ers have made, the freight rates have
invariably consumed the proceeds and
in many cases they have been called
upon to draw upon other resources to
cover a discrepancy between freight
rates and proceeds. For this reason
though the Salt River valley possesses
important advantages over the most
favored fruit districts of California, it
could not enter into competition in the
eastern markets. 1t is now pretty
clearly established that Phoenix will be
given California rate, that is $l25 a
hundred to Chicago. President Murphy
who was in the city yesterday said
there was no doubt that such an ar
rangement would be made for the com.
ing season. General Agent Van Slyck
and General Passenger Agent Bush of
San Francisco, have been in the city
days making a study of prospective
fruit shipments from the valley.
Not only will the California rate
likely be esta blished, but refrigerator
car service unequalled from California
shipping points will be given. s
The Arizona improvement company
has been chiefly instrumental in bring.
ing this about. After. correspondence
on the subject with the railroad COM
pany the following ess..salar letter was
sent out to the IruIf growers OF tie
valley:
DEAR SIR: 1t now seems quite proba BILE that
California rates can be Obtained for this valley
in shipments of fruits in refrigerator cars. Mr..
Healy of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix
Railroad company, will be here next week fol
| the purpose of ascertaining the probable
upon, provided the California rate is made. In
order to furnish the necessary data SO that he
may be convinced of the probable amount Of
business to be done, will you kindly fill ou the

| sibe. Very respectfully,

great thing is the cheaper land of tn,

WHICH is 1T?
Is Canvass Tent a Legally Defined
Structure?

Is a Canvass Tent Legally Defined
Structure?
Is tent structure within the mean
ing of the fire limits ordinance? And
is it com mbustible or is it only infamma-
BILE? There is scientific and prac-
tical difference between these two ad-
jectives. though the local lawmakers
who constructed the fire limits ordin-
ance possibly confounded them.
All this inquiry grows out of the cree
tion by DIR. W. L. Woodruff of big
tent in his front yard at the corner of
Second avenue and Jefferson street.
The tent was put up as ward for sick
or disabled employees of the Rio Verde
Canal company of which he is the Off
cial physician. He erected the tent be-
cause the company had no hospital and
he had no room for the patients in his
house which is, by the way, frame
structure.
He was ordered by the city authori-
ties yesterday to take the tent down.
A couple of lawyers told him to keep it
up and the doctor doesn't know what
to do. He will probably leave it for a
jury to decide whether a tent is q
structure and whether it is com mbustible
or whether 1t is inflammable.

Political Exiles Trying to Get Back

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.- The
steamer Australia arrived this morning
with advices to April 13 as follows:
Minister Thurston returns to Washing
ton this morning and has received no
notification of his recall. Minister
Hatch defends Thurston's course while
in Washington and says Thurston had
a right to tell what he knew of local
affairs. V. ". Ashford has been par
doned on condition that he leave the
country never to return. The ex queen
is still confined in the palace and seems
contented. She is allowed to exercise
in the grounds in the evening.
The government has received appli-
cation from Fred Wundenberg, Harry
Juen, Henry Peterson, James Brown
and John Radil. These men are
voluntary exiles and are now in San
Francisco. They wish to return to this
country but cannot do go without the
permission of the minister of foreign
affairs. Their cases are now being con-
sidered.

At a Meeting of the
Coast Combine
1t Is Resolved to Cut Loose
From All Fixed Rates.
The Compact Is Dissolved in All
Places Where There Are No
Local Boards.

By the Associated Press.
SAN Francisco, April 20.-The board
OF fire underwriters of the Pacific coast
met this morning to take final action in
regard to the course of procedure ne
cessitated by continuance of the war;
fare against the compact by outside
companies. All that was done was to
suspend rates in California except in
cities wherever there are local boards.
This will affect San Francisco. The
campact of leading insurance COM
panies covers seven of the western
states and territories, including Arizo-
ma, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, Utah and California.
There has been trouble experienced
in keeping the underwriters together
outside of this state and hence the war
has been practically confined to this
city and Oakland.
The result OF the ruling made today
will be for the companies here to
thresh the quarrel out among them
selves until they are tired of fighting.
In so far as the reinsurance of policies is
concerned the cut rate system has been
pretty we'll worked already for all it is
worth. That lie, unless it may please
some of the big insurance companies to
insure the city for nothing, which, of
course, they can easily do if they say
they will. -
