 SUICIDES IN PHOENIX There are few places with the record Phoenix has for suicides A month seldom
 passes without one, and sometimes there are several during a single

 graveyard contains the remains of a
 great many who were buried without being identified No one knew of them, and they seemed to have come here to end their lives, first destroying anything about them that would lead to their identification. Some come here" said Dr. Hughes, hoping tha. by breaking away from old associations they will be able to leave behind hab- it's formed and begin their lives anew
 here When they find that the habit
 has destroyed their power to resist it,
 they give up and end their lives. 9th
 CTS come here sick, and when they get too weak to work and their money is
 gone, they take the course James ,Donohue did"
 THE WINTER GUESTS The pre-
 diction seems to be generally accepted i by the hotel men that the tourist travel will begin earlier this year ow- l ing to the cold weather which has all
 ready set in in the northwest and east. Throughout the northwest there has | been a severe cold wave and at St. Paul snow fell a few days ago. AL | though Phoenix has been contented to rest almost entirely upon those who were benefited here and returned to their homes to advertise the valley, there is every reason to believe that q greater number will come to the valley
