The Ell Paso smelter, recently
destroyed by fire, will rebuild at
once as quickly as modern methods
of building will permit That is
substantially the statement of
General Manager Simpson, of this
division of the American Smelling
and Refining company, to the
Times. While the loss was great
and the smelter is now a mass OF
ruins, it is said that the work of
clearing up the wreck and rebuild
ing the plant will not require as
much time as has been anticipated.
Mr.. Simpson believes that opera
tons will be begun, in a small way,
within two months, and that within
four months the rebuilt plant will
be running at full speed. The
structure to replace the one de-
stroyed will be entirely of fire
proof material and modern in
every particular. The plant will
also be somewhat larger than the
old, and although only the same
number of furnaces will be in
stalled, the capacity of the smelter
will be considerably increased by
reason of modern improvements to
be added. The rebuilding will be
pushed at all possible speed. This
will doubtless be good news both to
the smelter employees and the many
mining men dependent on this
plant for the treatment of their

BRAINS, NOT DRESS,
Count in the Broad Domain of Free
DOM No Land for the Coach
man, FIunkey, Dude Hotel
Walters, Etc

Arizona, the land OF free speech,
free thought, and free dress, is
changing. Men talk freely as in
days of old, they think with the
same freedom, but if they wish to
eat they cannot dress with the
same laxity, the comfortable free
dom which has grown from the
gee-string attire of native sons to
the respectable costume of silk
shirts, linen trousers and their ac-
cessOries.
There have been several scenes
in one of the leading hotels of Tue
son this week which might have
resulted in several funerals had
the participants been more sensi-
tive and less gentlemanly. 1t
seems that there is a rule that no
person shall eat at the dining table
unless he wears a coat There are
a great many of the best men in
Tucson who do not wear coats,
not because they do not possess
them, but for the reason that there
is more comfort without them
George Scholefield and Ed. L. Vail
seldom wear coats. They would
not look natural in them during
the summer If they did. There
are a great many other men who
never wear coats in the summer,
but we mention Mr.. Scholefield
and Mr. Vail because they have
had attention called to the error of
their ways by an eastern hotel
clerk who came to change the mode
of dress in Arizona.
In the east men who do not wear
coats generally are too poor to buy
them, and there is a snobbish no
ton that poverty should be a bar
to good society, and since the snobs
are in the majority there the rule
prevails. People who come to
Arizona from the east are not ac-
customed to see millionaires run
ming about in overalls and jumpers,
associating with the men who work
for them, and all those things
which we are proud to say are a

Gently visited the town, has received
its new plant and the paper will
be published as heretofore, and, it
is needless to say, will be better
than ever. The town of Williams
has been incorporated and the wide
awake, go-ahead business men of
the town will rebuild their places
of business and strain every
nerve to make the mountain town
one of the very best in Arizona.

Chicago thinks she has discov-
cred way to increase her popula-
ton. A heavy discount on rents
is given to the parents of each child
born, and a receipt in full is given
if twins are perpetrated. Young
married couples are moving into
Chicago by droves and are trying
their best to get free rent.-Ex.

own delivery wagons, and men are
not measured by the length of their
purse strings. The conditions of
life are so different that eastern
people who come here to run hotels
and wait upon tables do not under
stand it; they cannot help drawing
the lines of caste, and dress alone
is their measure. Here in Arizona
we have absolutely no time for the
snob. Arizonans are plain, natural,
sympathetic, generous people, and
whether they put On a coat or not
does not change them a bit.
Mr.. Scholefield was refused per-
mission to enter the dining hall of
the hotel in question because he
did not wear a coat; f. l.. Vail,
one of the wealthiest cattlemen in
Arizona, came to town this week
without his coat, as he always does
in summer, and he, too, could not
enter the same dining hall. He
explained to the clerk that he had
eaten there without a coat for six
teen years, and he was too hungry
to return to La Osa ranch for his
coat.
But he could not enter that
sacred hall where a coat is a ticket
of admission. For our part, we
cannot understand why a silk shirt
worn by a man is any more objec-
tionable than n shirt-waist, or why
a lady with a shirt-waist should
eat and a man with a clean shirt
should starve. If the hotel in
question was the only one in Tue
son, Mr.. Vail would die OF starva-
ton, because La Osa ranch is over
100 miles from Tucson. We I'M
derstand men with shirt-waists are
admitted to this dining hall. Why
should there be such discrimina-
ton? An ordinary shirt is more
respectable, more secure and less
vulgar than a shirt-waist, even
though it is not as fashionable in
the eyes of fasteners.
-
George Scholefield, who was a
cow-puncher before he became cat
tie inspector, had like experience
several years ago in a little Kan
sas town when he was taking a
trainload of cattle east. There
were two Arizona cowboys with
him and they stopped to feed their
stock at a Kansas station. They
appeared at the door of a dining
hall dressed up for the occasion in
silk shirts, clean handkerchiefs
about their neckss and neat trous-
ers on, each thinking that he was

Arizonans did not take kindly to
the suggestion; the interference
with their freedom was a thing
which they never experienced in
this country and they did not pro-
pose to stand it in Kansas. They
proposed to clean out the hotel, but
the hotel clerk arbitrated and the
boys ate. But they were not
through with the matter by any
means, and they decided to have
some fun with the clerk. Each
one had dress suit with him, ex-
pecting to remain in the east for a
few weeks. So when the hour for
the next meal came the three Ari-
IONA cow-punchers appeared at the
clerks desk in full evening dress.
How does this suit you, pard
ner? Can we eat in this harness?"
they asked.
The clerk took his defeat good
naturally, but the Arizonans pro-
posed to rub it in, and every meal,
breakfast, lunch and dinner they
appeared in full dress during the
days they were detained at that
Kansas town.
We recall another instance, how
ever, which did not result so peace
ably. Tom Turner, who is now
sheriff of Santa Cruz county, is an
old-time cow-puncher. Some years
ago he was going east without a
coat and was punching a trainload
of steers to keep them on their feet.
He stopped at a Kansas town to
feed his stock and appeared at the
hotel in his shirt-sleeves. He had
journeyed over the long trail of hot
cinders and was about tired out
when he arrived there. AT the
hotel dining hall the clerk asked
him to put on a coat. Tom was
not in a frame of mind to accept
any interference with his move
ments, and he pushed the clerk
aside and walked into the dining
hall. The manager came and
brought a big burly waiter with
him to eject the the Arizonan.
Tom refused to leave, and when
they attempted to put him out he
proceeded to clean up the hotel,
starting with the manager. He
whipped the entire outfit, paid his
fine, and left the town with his
colors flying high. 1t is said that
the manager of that hotel has ever
since been careful who he asks to
put on a coat.-Tucson Post.

In tho fore part OF August, 1872, a
party OF hunters found in a mountain
Gus region now known as Rabun coun.
~, Ga. being nearly eight feet high
covered with blush hair and having a
human face adorned with immense
ears resembling those Of an ass. The
creature was stone deaf and on that
account seemed wholly unconscious of
the approach OF the men. This mon
ster seems, from old accounts, to have
been seen upon several occasions dur.
ing the next four years.
In 1916 a number OF Adventures
from Virginia, most OF them surveyors
working up the unexplored portions Of
Georgia and the Carollnas, formed
themselves into party for the express
purpose OF capturing the uncanny be-
ing II possible. They secured the hills
and valleys for several days and at last
returned unsuccessful TO the starting
point.
The many tales told OF this extraordi-
nary being seem to have created quite
a stir all along the Atlantic coast. A
printed circular issued by land COM
pany In 1915 says, "The climate Of
Georgia is exceedingly mild, the soil
productive, and the danger OF attack
from uncouth beasts which are repre-
scented as being half beast and half
man are fairy tales not woEthy OF con-

In the town records Of the city OF

which records how schoolmaster was

manner In which the visit OF inspection
is recorded makes one incline TO the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
II he was really inefficient he may be
said TO have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d OF May,
1922. 1t is set forth that:
