COMFORT DURING
 THE SUMMER IN PHOENIX POSSIBLE!

It is possible to live with comfort in Phoenix during the sumner season if people will only supply themselves with a few convenienceS. A woman spends a considerable part Of the day in the kitchen. A cook stove or range once heated in the morning keeps the kitchen hot all day. but wiih d Stand ard Wickless Blue Flame Oil Stove that kitchen might be as cool as any room in the house. Besides it's being less ex- pensive than a wood cook stove. it is cleaner, quicker and just as safe. In the afternoon after the mornings work is over 1t is fine thing to have ham mock stretched in some shady place. To the tired, heated person, there is no way of reclining so cool and restful as lying in a hammock. And then with our dewless nights and cloudless skies one may sleep out of doors without en- dangering the health and with com- fort on a cot. There are other things that are conducive to comfort here, but We haven't the space to mention them. We want to invite all of our Arizona friends to call at our store and see our line of Wickless Blue Flame Oil Stoves, cheaper than wood and safer than a lamp. Also see our line of hammocks. They are beauties at bargains; and also see our stock of cots-large assortment, low prices.

He returned home day or two ago and when ques itoned regarding LleWellyn said he knew nothing of his whereabouts and does not believe any man in the regi- ment has heard from him since the night of the tragedy.

Santa Fe and Rock Island Com
panies May Clash.
Proposed Rock Island Spur the
Bone of Contention.
SANTAFE WANTS LAND
For Construction of Proposed
New Shop Buildings.
Said That Franchise Would In
terfere With Improvements.

The Santa Fe and the Rock Island
companies may clash over the propo-
sition of a franchise being granted the
latter company to construct a spur
through the alley between Adams and
Jefferson streets and from First street
to Thorn street.
General Manager Nudge Of the Santa
Fe few days ago received authority to
expend $107 900 in the Improvement of
the general shop plant in this city In
the expenditure of this amount three
new shop buildings are contemplated,
and the Santa F'e management has
practically decided to erect the new
structures west of the present shops.
In this event, it is said, the building
of the Rock Island spur would inter
fere with the Santa F'e plans. The Santa
F'e has an option on much of the land
included in the block bounded by First
and Crane, Adams and Jefferson streets,
and because of this the Rock Island has
asked the council for a straight fran
chise. If it was a matter of competition
in purchase the Santa Fe. would proba-
bly, win over the Rock Island.
The Santa Fe people are opposed to
the granting of the franchise to the
Rock Island and will fight the matter
before the council. The opposition will
be based on the claim that the building
of the spur would be detrimental to the
proposed shop improvements.

BRAKEMEN MUST BEWARE.
Railroad Company Not Responsible
For Unsafe Couplings.

Boston, Mass. March ga verdict of
$4,000 for the plaintiff in the case of
Chas. r. Miller vs.. the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad was set
aside in this city by the full bench of
the supreme court. A decision was filed
sustaining The exceptions taken by the
defendant at the trial in the superior
court. The plaintiff was brakeman on
the defendants railroad, and contended
that the negligence of the company in
furnishing an unsafe link for use on a
freight train caused the injury com
planned of. The plaintiff was standing
on the car next the engine, waiting to
signal the engineer, when the link con-
Meeting the engine with the car on
which he stood broke, causing the air
brake to set, and bringing the train to
a stop with a jerk, which threw the
plaintiff from the car and caused the
accident.
The court says that the superior court
erred in instructing the jury that the
defendant was required to keep the links
it furnished in a proper condition to do
their work and should prevent the use
of dangerous and unsuitable links. The
court further holds that the company
did its duty when it furnished a suffi-
cient supply of suitable links and that
it was not bound to keep the links used
in proper condition or to prevent the
use of dangerous or unsuitable links.

NEW PARK ORDINANCE.
Tangle in the Old One is Strengthened
Out.

The park bond ordinance was recon-
sidered at the meeting of the city coun-
ell last evening and it was amended so
that the park funds can be expended on
any parks in the city, as was originally
intended. 1t will now be signed by
Mayor Drew.
While the ordinance was under con-
sideration, S. H. Downs, who is a mem
Der of the park board, was called on to
speak on the park question. He ex'
planned the ideas of the commission
concerning the Improvement Of the city
park, the approaches to the bridge,
Gage park and the other projects which
have already been outlined in the State
Journal. The bond money, Mr.. Downs
explained, the board did not intend to
expend all at once, but during a series
of several years, as the park improve
ments are made, and the bonds will be
issued only as needed. At present the
board would use only about $25, 900
leaving the other $4,000 for the future.
When it came to a vote on the ordi-
nance. Councilman Blossom said he
thought the ideas of the park board
about going outside of the city for park
lands would not meet with popular fav-
or but he was in favor Of the ordinance
and voted aye"
Councilman NetteIs called attention
to the fact that the council itself held
the power to purchase land for parks,
and the park board could not make a
purchase either inside or outside the
city without the approval of the coun-
Gil
Councilman Elliott got the idea that
the park board intended to buy land
for a park outside the city anyway, and
he voted no. He said he was in favor
of parks where the poor people could
take their lunch baskets and go any
time they wish.
All other couneilmen voted for the
ordinance

TwENTY-oNE PRIVATE CARS.
Many Railroad Officials Wintering in
Southern California.

Los Angeles, March 6.-The special
car of r. r. Gable, head of the director
ate of the Rock Island railway, reached
this city with Mr. Cable and a party of
friends aboard. This makes 81 private
cars now in this vicinity. The presi-
dents and other high railroad officials
now in Southern California control, it
has been estimated, over half the rail-
road mileage of the United States. The
cars now here are scattered between
Los Angeles and San Diego. Mr.. Cable
and his party left for Santa Barbara
this afternoon and will remain there for
the rest Of the winter. He makes the
trip every year to California.
Large numbers of eastern visitors,
who have been in attendance upon the
Mardi Gras carnival at New Orleans.
are heading this way. The Southern
Pacific brought in two parties Saturday,
one a Pennsylvania railroad party of
seven cars and the other a Raymond
6 Whitcomb party of six cars.
The general plant among a large
number of the visitors from the east
is that the Fiesta should not have been
discontinued as a regular affair.
Several Of the private cars now here
are in the Southern Pacific shops being
OVerhauled.

THE wEsTMoRELAND ROAD.
Short Line to Be Extended Both
North and South.


North and South.
The new. railroad built last summer
from WestmOreland to Blaine will be
extended in both directions this year.
Secretary of State George A. Clark has
received a letter from the general attor-
ney of the road, J. K Codding, of West
moreland, announcing this fact and
asking for a blank application for a
railroad charter. Up until last summer
Westmoreland, the county seat of Potta-
watomie county, did net have a road.
A local company was organized and
built a road from there to Blaine, a dis
lance of ten miles, connecting with the
LeavenWOrth, Kansas & Western. This
year the line will be extended north to
connect with the Missouri Pacific at
Centralia or Vermilion. It is twenty
five miles from Blaine to Centralia and
twenty from Blaine to VermilliOn. Just
which of these towns will be made the
terminal depends upon the inducements
offered.
The extension to the south will also
be made. Two routes are now being
considered. One is to strike in east of
Manhattan and utilize the old Manhat-
tan, Alma & Rurlingame roadbed to
Alma, and then parallel the Rock Is
land to White City to connect with the
Missouri Kansas & Texas. The other
is to make almost a bee line from West
moreland to White City, passing
through the town of Wabaunsee. When
completed this road will give the farm
ers of Pottawatomie good railroad IA
cilities. This new line will intersect the
Missouri Pacific, the Leavenworth,
Kansas & Western, the Rock Island,
the Union Pacific and the Missouri
Kansas & Texas. 1t will be about 100
miles in length.
