THE CARNIVAL A GO
Satisfactory Railroad RafeS All But
 Assured.

The Autumnal Carnival is going to be a go. There was little doubt of it from the beginning, but there is none now. Carnival Commissioner Clark yesterday received encourag cement from both local railroads of low rate of enc fare for a round trip from all points in Arizcna. It is desired that the low rate arrangement be extended beyond Arizona, particularly into Col cIado, to attract tourists who have been spending the summer at the mountain resorts there In reply to an 9pplicatiC- to the s. F., P. & P. fer a r-und trip rate, MT. Clark yesterday received the following reply from Gen cal Ager's Gillett:
 "Phcenix Ariz., Sspt. 26, 1899 "S. P. Clark, City:
 Dear Sir: Referring to our conver- sction a few days ago on abovsi sub ject, beg to advise that I nm today in receipt of a letter from MT. Anewalt stating that as far as Arizona points are concerned we will make a rate of one fare for the ECund trip, and hope to be able to secure the same ba- sis from Denver, although it will probably be several days before we hear from the Santa F'e as to whether they will make us this rate or not.

A HORSELESS CARRIAGE
Drew Man From Silver nInd 10
 phOenix.

President and General Manager L3w Collins Of thel Phoenix-Tempe and Mesa Stage Line and Salt River Ford ing and Navigation company adver- tised in this paper early last summer that on or about July l he would put on a horseless carriage to increase his
 facilities for hand.fng the growing
 traffic The advertisement was read
 Win mingled pride and pleasure by
 residents of Phoenix and there was
 some talk Of presenting President Col
 lins a sword, a gold-headed cane, a
 gold medal and of making ether dem
 ionstrations in his favor on account of
 his enterprise as transportation man
 ager and the dignity he was about to
 confer upon Phoenix and the Salt
 River valley.
 The presentation was never made. Before the pOpulace could "get around
 to it, President Collins introduced the
 innovation, which consisted of an ex-
 change of his time-tried team of
 hclses for a span of mules. Though
 General Manager Collins had done as
 much as he really promised, there was a I3pular disappointment, dissatisfac- tion and unrest.
 Among the readers of tt1t adver- tisement was a miner by the name of Mike" employed at the Silver King Mike had heard Of horseless carriages,
 had pictures of them pasted on the walls of his cabin, had pOndered over the wonder and dreamed ab;-ut it, but had never expected to see one. A few days ago he determined to take a va caticn and see the horseless car riages. He left the King for Mesa, interding to ride into Phoenix on the hCrseless carriage. They told him at MszG that it had gone, but would return the next day. Mike couldn't wait. He t3ok the first after noon train fer Phoenix and get in early in the evening" He needed a shave and wanted a drink, but they could wait until he had seen the cut lines of the horseless carriage, which somebody told him had just reached town. He ascertained where General Manager Collins might be found and hunted him up. The president was sitting in the stage in front of a store when Mike came up 21d asked where the h0rseless carriage was. The gen e al manager replied, Right here. Right where ?' asked Mike. Here, replied the president, don't you see Pm in it. If you discover any horses about iShis outfit you may have 'em. Then Mike noticed the mules and when he had cr7wIed out from the de bris of expectations which he had besl building up for three months, he said: They're On me-" and started for the most adjacent saloon, gathering up crowd as he went Mike kept drinking and encouraging everybody else to drink to the hcrseleSs carriage at his expense until he had tlc' be carried off to a ocrral. He continued the celebra- tion of the lcng-eared automobile the next day. Yesterday morning he grew conscious enough to realize that his head was colossal and later in the day was able to be shaved. He left last night for the. Silver King Before stan ting he said: This celebration cost me S75. It was for a horseless carriage, but it's all over now, and I'll let it go fer Dewey.

PROFIT IN TAXpAYING
Another Reason Why fhe Additions
 Should Come In.

The additions to Phoenix are just now facing an argument in favor ot coming into the city which .cverthrows the only objection ever made against annexation, the taking on of the bur den o9 municipal taxation without corresponding benefits in the way of improvements, police and fire prctec- ton. The insurance companies are of fering the argument and it is wholly disinterested, for they do not care whether the additions come in or not They Twill make a little more money if they do net.
 In order to present the argument some explanation must be made of the methods and rules of insurance com panies with respect to Arizona. A rate known as "rata No. 4'' is made to ap- ply to the towns of Phoenix, Prescott and Tucson. By town the insurance companies mean cnly that collection of buildings and area of ground enclosed within corporate limits In insuring house an agent must start with what is called a rate basis,' that is the lowest rate that can be made Cn a building as nearly free as possible from risk. There are several rates applying to different kinds of houses, but tak- ing for example the ordinary frame house the 1ate basis is 75 cents on $100. This rate is increased by the presence of especially in1ammabl3 material in the building and its position with reference to cher structures But talk
 
 rate, the basis for house within the city limits under the protection of the fire department is 75 cents. Outside the limits the rate is 50 cents more.
 Thus the owner of a house worth say S2.O00 within the limits pays an an nual premium Of $15. The owner of the same kind of a house outside the limits is supposed to pay an annual premium of $22.50, though he has never had to do it. The insurance companies Cn ac- count of the peculiar condition exist ing in Phoenix under which the additions were nearly as well prol.ected as that part cf the town within the limits, have allowed their agents here to insure in the additions not too remote from the central part Of town, at the rate given for prop erty within the city limits. Tie agi- tatiOn last spring regarding anneXa- ton, the order of the council to the fire partment nCt to go outside the limits, and the actual execution of the order last spring in the case of the Orchard Grove fire, together with newspaper descriptions and comment, have reack3d the notice of the gentlemen who direct the affairs of insurance companies for the Pacific coast. and they have instructed local agents to apply the rule and adt the extra rate to all property outside the limits
 Thus it will est outsida property | owners 50 cents more on each ! S1OO. That is more than twice 1 as much as the municipal tax ] rate, so that every man who owns a house and household { goods will save money by paying city ! tax. It is true that he will not have ! to insure his l-t, though he would ! have to pay taxes on it, bus the va3ua- |

 Dear Sir: We beg to advise yGu that in the event Of a carnival being held in this city, as is now proposed by the beard of trade, that the Maricopa & Phoenix Railroad company will be pleased to grant a rate of enc fare for the round trip from all points on their line.

ton Of a lot is usually asmall thing compared with the valuation of the house and it's contents. If lot were worth as much as house and contents the owner would still be saved morey by taxation, since the valuation fer taxable purposes is only about half it's real value, while one who insure5 a house. if k.e is a consistent believer in insurance, tries to gG- as nearly a full valuation on it as he can.

The Reno Journal thinks the
TIMES struck out in the dark when
it stated that there was no reason
to believe that gold-bugism was
being taught at the State University.
Our esteemed contemporary is again
mistaken. 1t has made the charge
that Senator Stewart is against the
University. This we do not believe,
nor have we seen such statement
made by any fairmiDded. journal
in the State. 1t takes great deal
of money to run the University, but
you will observe, Mr.. Journal that
the Legislature now in session, COM
posed mainly of Silver Party men,
has voted to raise the State tax levy
to 81 on each 800 valuation, and
that this raise was considered nee
essary for no other reason than that
the University would need more
money. This Legislation could not
have passed except by the grace of
the Silver Party, and the party by
doing this has placed itself in a
position to be called the most ex-
pensive administration on record.
The TIMES is, or was, greatly OPP
posed to raising the tax rate, but if
this has been necissitated by wants
of the University we are willing to
have the rate raised to $1.25 if 81
will not do. This is where the TINES
stands on the University question
so long as it is conducted on strictly
partisan lines, and if the Jour-
nal thinks we are striking out in
the dark it can still console itself
by holding to that opinion.

but it is written large and awful in

this time. If one of you chaps ever
come across a girl that, with a face
full of roses, says as you come to the
door, 81 cannot go for thirty min
utes, for the dishes are not washed"
you wait for that girl. You sit right
down on the door step and wait for
her. Cause some other fellow may
come along and carry her off, and
right there you have lost an angel.
Wait for that girl, and stick to her

THE Legislature has beaten the
bill introduced to repeal the anti
prize-iight law. This is as it should
be. Nevada is the only State in
the Union which has had the sense
to place a law upon its Statutes
prohibiting prize fl G ing by
making it so expensive sport that
none but first-class mills can be pull
led off in this State. 1t costs a thou
sand dollars now to get license to
fight in Nevada. and the fight must
be to a finish. In other States a
20-round contest may be given by
paying a small license. You do not
see any of these farces played in
Nevada. When lot of pngs want
to fight they steer clear of Nevada
because they know they will have
to pay a good price to have mill
here. Before the law now existing
was passed many disgraceful, cheap
fights took place in Nevada. Since
the law has been in force but one
fight has taken place-that of Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons. And there
will be no more, unless they are
good ones.
