FIR. MAxWELL'S RETURN
Nothing for Phoenix to Do Now But
 Smile and Be Happy.

MT. George H. Maxwell returned
 home Friday morning after a very
 busy summer during which the people of this valley have kept pretty good track of him, though he has not stayed long in one place. It would be almost impossible to give his itinerary, but
 briefly he left here in June, Was in New York on the 4th of July, visited Boston once, was in Washington and in Chicago at various times, addressed the National Hardware Dealers asso- citation at it's annual meeting in Sar atoga, was at St. Paul during the meeting of the Forestry congress. went to Seattle and participated in the Trans Mississippi congress delibera- tions,- returned east, then went west to the Irrigation congress at Ogden, then to Sacramento where he was
 joined by Mrs. Maxwell, then to San Francisco, Los Angeles and home. He did not stop in Los Angeles, however, on the way home for hc was suffering severely with hay fever which always bothcrs him in cold climates at this season. He was anxious to get home and rest up and doctor up so he went from the train directly to his ranch Friday morning and did rot show up ;n Phoenix till yesterday.
 Yesterday he was feeling very much better and had partially regained his voice. which had almost left him through the strain of making public speeches while suffering from a severe cold. He hopes to be all right in a day or two. In fact. he says, he has to be for he made an engagement ago to meet with the Yuma people in a meeting to be held on Mon day, so he will have to take the train tonight. From Yuma he expects to go to Tucson to fill similar appointment on Tuesday.
 Asked what there was new respect ing the Tonto reservoir enterprise he said there was nothing to say except that the preliminaries are going for ward just as fast as energy and enter prising officials can push them. There is absolutely nothing for the people of this valley to do except to do noth- ing till the government asks them to. and then do it at once and without loss of time. The government. he says. is doing it's part just as fast as it can and Phoenix need do nothing for the present but wait in patience for the good days that are coming and coming quickly.

A wonderful tree of unknown variety has been discovered in q mountain canyon in q spur of the San Jacintc

 The leaves of the tree resemble in size the fig leaf. but they are of ( VlVld purple color and the under side of the leaf is thickly covered with stlf hairs, which stand out from the lear fully an inch. These hairs are sharp and thornlike and easily pene- trate the skin, and when they do so they are poisonous, causing swelling and much pain.
 The blossoms are as peculiar as are the branches and leaves. They are of rusty red color and are about two lhches i'll diameter.

Phoenix citizens who have telephones in their houses or places of business. may congratulate themselves this morning that they are working on a new system and q vastly different and better one than they were using just before going to bed last night. Not only have they new system but many of them have new numbers. Even where the numbers lave not been changed, there will in many cases be new prefix to the number.

IT IS AGAIN THE AIGRETTE.
The Wreath and Fillet Are Slowly
 Going Out.

For evening wear We are going back to the aigrette. It is entirely super seding the wreath and fillet, and when the hair. is dressed high there is no doubt that it represents a pretty and effective addition, while a good many people add to their aigrette an elab- crate decoration composed of strings of pearls chiefly depending from the back and supplemented with d tassel or two as d necessary addition. There IS still. however, 'go-as-you- please" element in our cultures at the moment and in the case of a girl or a young married woman q soft twist of tulle wound in and out of the hair and finished in little bunch on the side is just as pretty and effective as any thing else can be. supplemented by little spray of foliage, a single rose, or orchid.

Missing Won an Seen Here.

Mrs. George Sober, Harwood woman,
aged about IS years, is missing from her
home and her husband fears that she
has gone to the woods and killed herself
She left the house on Friday morning
after preparing breakfast for her hus-
band. 1t was reported that she had
eloped with countryman, but this
theory finds few supporters, because
Mrs. Sober and her husband always got
along well together. All of the single
men Of eloping age are still at their ac-
customed places in the town. The
Sebers have six children, all of them of
tender age.-Hazeton Plain Speaker.
Mrs. Sober was n Freeland Friday
afternoon and spent some time In the
stores OF town. She acted rather
strangely while here.

wages upon a level with the bitumln-

Those who fully understand the min

the anthracite worker labors harder and
incurs greater danger than the bitumin-
Gus worker. This being so, he is entitl-

nice stories in the papers nowadays
of big reductions, but when you

you are more than likely to find
promises which the makers cannot
fulfill and would not if they could.
For our part we would rather
shut up our store and be idle than
give anybody the right to say of it:
"That store is not as careful of its
reputation as it used to be-" Re

us than the few paltry dollars an

conducted under false pretenses.

sonable goods, including Rubber

pleasingly surprise the buyer.

There is only one thing in Rub

Der. There is absolutely no wear
in any of the other ingredients.
There is only one way to reduce

things in which there is no wearing
quality whatever.
Every time the quality of a Rub

cent, its durability is reduced over

Forever--Argument Begun

j. f, Mullahy, secretary of the sta
tionary firemen employed at the anthra-
cite mines and in other parts of the
state, has sent to the Coal Strike Com
mission long appeal in behalf of the
tiremen in which he asks consideration
of the following demands: An eight
hour day, the same wages as are now
paid for twelve hours; reinstatement of
all who were on strike either In the fire.
room or some other position.
He furnishes a.table showing the COM
parative wages OF firemen working in
other industries; shows that anthracite
men get IA 23 cents for twelve hours
aud the bituminous 2216 cents for eight
hours, while firemen working twelve
hours In Philadelphia get 81 Il cents and
those work., G eight hours in New York
and Chicago get a cents.
He rscites at length the conditions of
work, declaring that the firemen work
In a temperature ranging between 100
and 100 degrees; have to stand in pool
of water and work twenty-four hours
every other Sunday, while they handle
from forty to seventy tons Of coal each
shift.
END OF ANTHRACITE STRIKES.
In summing up the work OF the com
mission former Congressman Brumm, Of
counsel for the United Mine Workers,
predicted last night that future relations
Of the miners and operators will be am
icable, and that strikes In the anthracite
region are ended forever.
Said Mr.. Brumm: both sides now
understand each others position. The
ing for three years. After that the
miners and operators will likely meet
each other for future agreements, as is
done In the bituminous fields. The in
creasing prestige and power OF the Mine
Workers will compel this step. The
success Of Mitchell's recent negotiations
with the soft coal operators may have
considerable effect in inducing the COM
mission to recommend recognition Of
the United Mine Workers"
The concluding sessions of the Coal
Strike Commission began this morning.
The argument was taken up by Lawyers
D. j. Mccarthy, Charles Brumm and
Henry j. Lloyd, representing the min
ers. They will be followed by James
Fl. Torrey, Majcr Warren, John Z.
Lenahan, Samuel Dickson, George +.
Baer and others, for The operators.
Clarence Darrow, for the miners, will
close the argument.
INCREASE FOR SOFT COAL MINERS.
The scale committee OF the bitumin-
GUS operators and miners have agreed
that advances ranging from IL TO %
per cent shall be granted the mine
workers of the soft coal field. The out
come OF this conference was anxiously
awaited throughout the anthracite re-
gion, as disagreement among the con-
ferees meant general strike OF the
bitunnous men on April /, which would
be followed by assessments upon the
anthracite mem bers of the union. The
announcement made yesterday that the
differences have been amicably adjust
ed was received by local miners with
great pleasure.
Inasmuch as the hard coal mine
workers now receive from Is to 80 per
cent less in wages than their brethren in
the soft coal sections, the increase con-
ceded by the operators on Saturday will
