Yesterdays cold wave was something
extremely unusual for Phoenix at this
time of the year. In fact, during The
entire winter hardly a colder day YVES
observed. Old time Hassayampers
with their overcoats buttoned closely
around their nechs and a straw hat
upon their heads looked queer to say
the least. The Alkire company seems
ITO be crowding the season this year
with their straw goods and as they
have received the largest Line Ito select
from bit no wonder that the old timers
are properly bedecked with headgear
One of the best citizens of Phoenix
was heard ITO say yesterday that the
springtime was here and he proposed
to wear a straw hat regardless of the
weather especially when they could be
purchased at such rid.louiously low
prices at the Alkire company's store
The latest styles of manillas, chips,
Mlackinaws and Panamas were re-
ceived in their last consignment.
W. II. Strong has received AN n
voice of fans from the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing company
of Pittsburg, Pa, and has been ap-
pointed by this, the largest concern in
electrical goods in the United States,
as sole agent for Phoenix. These fan
motors are of the induction type, and
are manufactured under the patents of
Mr. Nikola Tesla, which broadly cover
the application of this principle ito al
ternating current motors The West
inghOuse Electric and Manufacture ing
company owns and controls these pat
ents, and is the only company author
lied ito make and sell motors of this
type. Mr.. Strong has thoroughly
demonstrated his ability as am cleo
trician and his work in all lines of the
business i'm Phoenix sllrpasses that of
any others in the field In regard to
prices he will sell the fans for SIS,
guarantee them, and if amy repairs are
needed during the summer it will be
done free of cost Ito the patrons. This
seems liberal and as the fans are SUI
perfor to amy in THE market there is no
doubt but what Mr.. Strong will have
all the business he will be able to at
tend to for the next five months. Lo-

Ocean net fishing such as is to be OPP
Grated off Bay Shore, L. l., is neal
equivalent to the pound-net fishing
of the Chesapeake. The Chesapeake
pound nets are tended twice day by
men who drive great fatboats with
enormously long oars, anchor their
craft beside the pound and scoop out
the fish by the bushel The business is
regarded as peculiarly destructive to
the fine game fish of the Chesapeake,
for the pound netter takes whatever
comes and spares nothing that is big
enough to fry.

Blaze Causes CONSERVATION In the
Pioneer Press Building.
Shortly after o'clock last evening
a still alarm from the corner of Fourth
and Robert streets called the fire de-
partment to the gentlemen's furnishing
goods store of Thad c. Jones & Wright,
in the Pioneer Press building, where
serious blaze was found burning in the
shirt factory, Immediately in the rear
Of the store. The point of the fire was
directly under an arched skylight, in
the corridor Of the Pioneer Press build
ing and volumes Of smoke pouring
forth soon filled the entire building to
suffocation Some little CONSERVATION
prevailed upon the top floors when the
elevators stopped running for a short
time on account of the density Of the
smoke Being in light infiamable ma
terial the fire, which was supposed to
have caught from an overheated cleo
trio wire, had gained considerable
Roadway when the department ar
rived, though it was confined entirely
to the factory. Several lines Of large
hose were quickly laid, but the chemi-
cal apparatus proved sufficient and the
fire was soon extinguished. Mr.. Jones
estimates the firms loss at from $500
to 81, eco, most of which is confined to
the factory stock, though some Of the
goods in the store were slightly dam
aged by smoke. The loss on the build
ing is placed at 5000.

A Progressive and Prosperous In
dustry.

About eighteen years ago there came
to this city from Philadelphia two
young men, who located first on Third
street, and then on Eighth street, and
engaged in the business Of cabinet
makers, under the name of Johnson
Bros. 1t was very soon manifest that
these men, Henry and Charles John
son, We're masters of the position; they
soon became noted for the class of
work they turned out. After a while
Mr.. f. H. LOOMS bought an interest
in the concern. The rapidly increas-
ing business necessitated larger premises
and more extensive machinery; a site
was purchased, and three-story fac
tory erected on Jackson street, where,
for the last twelve years, they have
carried on a growing trade under the
title Of Johnson Bros. & Loomis.
Most Of the interior furnishings of
the banks, noticeably the Second Ma
tfonal bank, and private residences of
this city, as well as the court house
and other important public buildings,
are in evidence Of the thoroughness
of the work executed by this firm In
October Of last year the factory and
machinery were partially destroyed by
fire, and about the same time Mr.
LOOMS withdrew from the concern
The Johnson brothers Immediately re-
built and refitted their premises, and
enlarged the facilities for continuing
the business on larger scale than
before, under the firm name Of The
Capitol City Furniture Company.
We have no doubt that the high
standing Of this well and widely known
house will secure for it continued and
increasing prosperity.

Labor Commissioner Powers has
taken up the investigation of a new
field viz. the relation Of transporta-
ton expenses to the prices Of wheat.
The subject is one Of which he has
been casual observer for several
years, but the investigation which he
has now in course of prosecution is
the result of an apparent. discrepancy
in wheat prices East and West, as
shown by the last government reports.
These reports in former years have
shown that reductions in wheat prices
were greater in the Eastern states than
in the Western Mississippi valley
wheat belt, as it may be generally
called. Statistics prepared carefully
have heretofore shown a more stable
market, apparently, in the region
where the grain was grown, than in
the Eastern manufacturing districts,
where comparatively little is produced.
This year, however, exactly the re-
verse is shown, and it is considered by
the commissioner quite remarkable
that this condition should exist.
The last report shows that there is a
discrepancy of about six cents between
the Eastern and Western markets as
compared with the ratio shown in
former years, and the query Of the
labor statiStician is as to whether the
six cents has been added to the freight
rates. or whether it is being absorbed
by the middle men. He contemplateS
a careful investigation of freight rates
prevailing, with view to discovering
whether the carriers have taken adj
vantage of the large crop to greatly in
crease their profits, and indirectly, of
course, cut down the profits of the
farmers.
The labor StatiStician's Investigations
will also embrace another problem, and
that is as to the accuracy Of the figures
contained in the government report,
which gives as the 1895 wheat crop of
Minnesota and the two Dakotas 1885,
100000 bushels, sold for s63,OO0,OO0.
These figures, which purport to be
computed from the actual acreage, on
the best information available as to
average yield, and at the current mar
ket price at harvest time, show less
amount of wheat than the figures pre-
pared by Secretary G. D. Rogers Of the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce, for
the amount Of grain actually received
thus far at Minneapolis and Duluth.
Secretary Rogers is considered by the
Northwestern milling trade, one Of the
best Informed men in the nation on
grain production and allied matters,
having devoted large portion of his
life to them, and with his facilities for
securing accurate reports, it is con-
sidered possible that there may be
serious errors in the calculations of the
government statisticians.
