Paving Cement Of
Poor Quality

Work upon the street paving is be-
ing temporarily delayed due to City
Engineer CANDLES desire to give the
property owners the worth Of their
money and allow no steals or gratis to
get through.
The plans and specifications prepar-
ed by Acting Engineer White during
his term Of office, provide for the use
of Ft Scott cement or better ce-
ment approved by the city engineer.
Soon after the paving contract was
awarded to the contractors a quantity
of Ft. Scott cement was ordered
When the paving was commenced
the attention of property owners was
cited TO this inferior grade because Of
the tests made upon it ~ the recent
rains. The cement was found to be
soft and not durable and City Engineer
Gamble Immediately notified the con
tractor to relrain from using any more
Of that brand of cement and to use
none but that Of first class grade. A
cement approved by the city engineer
has been ordered and as soon as it
arrives the work will be begun upon
the paving Of the avenues.

News of the North

Prescott. Ariz., January F Special Correspondence of The Republican, Word was received today by Major C. c. Walcutt, constructing quartermas- ter, that the following buildings have been authorized for Fort Whipple and that the plans are now on their way to him: One double or two single bar racks, one double or two single cap tains' quarters, one guard house, one quartermaster's and commissary store house and one quartermaster's stable All of the buildings are to be of brick with the exception of the quartermas- ter's stable
 Major Walcutt is authorized to ad- vertise for bids. and upon these bids it will be determined whether two single quarters, accommodating 160 men, will be built, and construction will com mence as soon as the plans can be adapted to the ground. Major Walcutt has an extremely lively interest in his work, is an energetic executive officer. and it Is believed the work will pro- gress with all practicable speed.
 Some snow has fallen in Prescott and vicinity for two days, probably amount ing to three inches or so in the city and more in the mountains. The soil in the flats and valleys has not vet ceased to show the moisture precipi- tated in the big storms last month, and the creeks continue to run fair streams. Predictions made early in the season by "Old timers" wherein we were to have wet winter are being realized in manner most gratifying to miners and ranchmen alike. 4 good water supply is the thing, and it appears to be coming ArizOnaward once more. and It will not be surprising to see the na- tive grass as high as the pioneers tell us it used to be.
 Mrs. F. M. Murphy left Prescott Fri day for d brief visit with her father and mother, Rev. and Mrs. Edward w Meany of Los Angeles. She is expected to leave there some time next weeis. and after stopping enrOute a day lr two in Prescott, will proceed east to joint MT. Murphy.

.REICHSTAG TRYING
 UNITED STATES
On Charge of Commercial Unfaith-
 fulness.

Berlin. Jan. lS.-By a vote of Al to G the reichstag yesterday adopted the sub-rule for the resolution of Baron Heyl Herrnsheim asking the govern ment to denounce the most favored na- ton treaties which are directed against the United States and Argentina. The substitute requested the government to denounce Urea ties where experience has shown that the most favored clause was injurious to German inter- ests. Baron Heyl Herrnsheim with drew his resolution in favor of the substitute. The socialists and radicals composed the minority.
 Tn the course of the debate Herr Gothein, radical liberal, said: "The United States observed the treaty of 1928 loyalty. for the most favored nation clause in the present sense was un- known prior to the Anglo-French treaty of 1861.
 'The greatest obstacles against com mercial treaties" he said. "are open and disguised export bounties which the zealots for these resolutions should help to abolish. We cannot denounce the present reciprocity arrangement with the United States without damag- ing our interests until new treaties with other countries are made"
 Prince Bismark said the United States is already discriminating against Germany under the agreement of 1900 since We do not get the same concessions as France and also Portu- gal in the case of effervescent wines. In addition to that President Roosevelt has made a treaty with Cuba giving extraordinary concessions to her sugar. The United States will readily make Germany concessions, because Ger many is her best customer.
 The great mistake of the tariff con- ventiOn was that we abandoned our agricultural interests for pittance.
 "The opinion has been discussed in the Reichstag that the sharp language used here against the United States will damage our interests in negotiat- ing new treaty with the United States. l hold the contrary opinion. It will strengthen the backbone of our ne- gotiators if they can.
 We would like to make confessions. but the wicked reichstag will not allow us"
 Therefore it is a good thing to beat the drum and say: We will not allow ourselves to be imposed upon any long CT. Our lambs patience is finally transformed into impatience."

His three latest books have been brought out by New York publishers-R H. Russell and the Harpers.

Washington, January 1S.-His creed may prevent William M. Lewis of Ne braska getting a clerl1ship in the post office department. Lewis Is a. Seventh Day Adventist, and stands at the head of the eligible list of the United States civil service commission.
 He told the postmaster general that he is Seventh Day Adventist, and while perfectly willing to work on Sun day, he could not work on Saturday. The postmaster general tried to ar range it SO Lewis could take each Sat urdey of and have the time deducted from his annual leave, but this was unsatisfactory, and Lewis may not be appointed until some place is found where he can Hay off" on Saturdays.
