BAPTIST BENEFIT
Successful Concert Under Direction
 of Mr. and Mrs. CraVens.

One of the most charming and suc- cessfuI concerts ever given by home talent in Phoenix was that given un- der the direction of Mrs. z. F. Cravens at the opera house last evening. Il reflected great credit not only upon Mrs. Cravens but upon all who par dcipated in the programme. It is worthy Of note that ali the vocalists who took part are now or have been in the past pupils of Mrs. Cravens. Where all did so well it is difficult to select any for special praise.
 The instrumental work done by GIesdames Craveus and Bagby won the Warmest praise from all lovers of the piano. As is his wont MT. Eugene BedeWin captivated his audience with his violin in two selections and an encore. The reading of Mrs. Cooley and Miss Stewart met 4yith a most cordial reception. Both are artists in their line. The solo work of Mes danes Hulatt and Tiffany was of high order and charmed the audience. Both were recalled and responded graciousIy with selections as pleasing as thr original numbers.
 MT. Dow Daggert is a new addition to the singing forces of the city. His first appearance last evening was un- der most unfavorable circumstances, he having been suffering ever since his arrival in Phoenix from a severe cold. Tn spite of this fact. however he won a hearty encore with his ur- usually musical and sympathetic tenor voice. He was not expecting a bouquet but he got one just the same-fnally.
 The Quartette composed of Mes danes Hulett and Tiffany and Messrs. Wilson and Cogsins sang a very pleas ing selection. but refused to respond to an encore. The duet by Mesdames Hulett and Tiffany accompanied by Mesdames Cravens and Bagby made d fitting closing piece for most charm ing and nigh class entertainment.

BIG STRIKE is OFF
THE CHICAGO STREET RAILWAY
TROUBLE ENDS.
Representatives of the Railway
Company and of the Street Car
Men Reach An Agreement and
Both Sides Profess to Be Sat.
isfied.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The strike of the
employees of the Chicago City railway
was settled at an early hour this morn
ing at a conference between the mayor,
the aldermnic peace committee Presi.
dent Hamilton and f. r. Bliss, counsel
tor the company, and the executive
board of the local union of the strikers.
The basis on which the settlement was
reached is complete victory for the
company as far as TIE original demands
Of the men are concerned. The agree
ment reached will be ratified at meet
ing of the men this morning, and l. is
expected that traffic will be resumed on
all lines during the day.
The only important concession made
by the company was an agreement to
reinstate all the strikers, including the
outside unions who went out in sympa-
thy with the trainmen, with the excep-
ton of those who resorted to violence
during the trouble.
TIE arbitration Of the wage scale is
to be according TO the wages paid out
side If Chicago and not on the basis OF
the local street railway. These are the
two points that have been a milling
block to a peaceable adjustment of the
strike for the past week. The company
has insisted that it pays higher wages
than any similar corporation in the
country. The men were fearful tina.
the arbitration on the scale paid in
other cities would decrease their wages
and fought stubbornly for their point.

graduates who return to tribal life fall
into Indian ways again. Therefore he
is doing all he can to prevent the edu-
Gated Indians from going back to the
reservation.
He tells of an incident he saw Mt
Western Indian agency. A squaw en-
tered traders store, wrapped in a
blanket. pointed at straw hat and
asked, "How muchee?"
Fifty cents" said the marchant.
"HOw muchee?" she asked again,
pointing at another article.
The price was quoted and was fol-
lowed by another pointing and query
OF How muchee:"
Then she suddenly gazed blandly at
the merchant and asked, mildly. do
you not regard such prices as eXtor-
tionate for articles of palpably inferior
quality? Do you not really believe
that a reduction in your charges would
materially enhance your profits? beg
you to consider my suggestion"

HIGH WATER AT ST. LOUIS.
The Great Floods of 1914 and 1885
Recalled.

The Great Floods of 1914 and 1883

Mississippi floods recalls times when

are the great floods Of 1914 and 1853,
in which the river reached the highest
stages ever known here.
The high water Of 1853 is especially
we'll remembered. At that time the
water in the local channel measured
36 feet 8 inches. the highest, with
only one exception. ever recorded here.
Boats came directly to the streets to

One boat was actually able to pro-

feet deep in most Of them.
There was no trestle in those days
and the high water enabled the boats
to come close up to the foot of the

though many steamers preferred to
discharge their freight on the wharf

across on temporary bridges.
AS comparison with other floods,
1t may be mentioned that the great
rise of 1874 gave depth Of Al feet 91a
inches in channel at the foot of Mar
ket street. The flood Of 1853 showed
81 feet 8 inches. In 1883 the river rose
to "a feet 1 inches, while the food of
1892 came fairly close to this latter
figure, touching 35 feet.

ALASKA RAILROAD PROJECT
Burlington Said to Be Interested in
Big Scheme.

Portland, Or, Nov. 25-F. G. Helm,
of New York, leading spirit in the Val
des, Copper River and Yukon railway
project, and J. D. McGillivray, we'll
known Alaska mining engineer, have
arrived in Portland on the way from
Naldes to the East.
The road which Mr.. Helms company
proposes to build will run from Valdes
to Eagle City and will have mileage
of Alb miles. 1t is capitalized for $16,-
900, 900, of which about $9,0O0,000 is
already pledged. 1t is limited that the
Burlington is backing the scheme with
the view to making it link in a con-
tinuous railroad from New York to
Paris which is now being seriously con-
sidered. 1t is said that the Burlington
will build through to the East, connect
with railroad up the panhandle OF
Alaska to Naldes, Copper River and
Yukon line, from whence connection
will be b. lit to meet the trans-Slberlan
road as soon as it is connected through
to Boring straits.
81 went up to Naldes with attorneys
of the company" said Mr.. Helm in dis
cussing the road. "We went to settle
up all legal questions and to meet our
engineers Who have been in the field
looking over the lines and examining
our properties. The legal points are
all satisfactorily settled and our engi-
neers report that over our proposed
route the road building will be not only
feasible, but comparatively easy and
inexpensive, owing to the conformation
of the country"

Humlninu Bird "A Fighter.

Although the English sparrow has
managed in large measure to Danish
from it's haunts many larger native
birds, and even the courageous little
wren, there is one smaller bird of
which It is afraid. This tiny but for.
midable enemy is the humming bird
That familiar principle of physics
that the striking power of a body in

piled by its velocity is the secret of
the humming birds superiority over
the sparrow. The hummng bird S

The uneasy cries of a sparrow at

the other day, who presently discov-
cred the sparrow sitting well up in a
pine tree. Just within a foot of the
frightened bird buzzed a humming
bird, its misty wings and keen beals
suggesting tiny aerial ram in flight
and bent upon puncturing some
greater craft in the air. The spar
row stood its ground until the bea *
seemed about to pierce its breast, and
then took flight, with the angry little
humming bird in hot pursuit. The
humming bird soon returned. apparent

ENGLISH WANT MONEY.
Holders of Colombian Bonds Will
Look to Panama.

Look to Panama.
London,N ov. 25.-Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has requested the council OF
the foreign bondholders to supply fur
Their details of the Colombian loan.
When drawn up these will be forward
ed to Ambassador Durand, and present
ed to Washington to urge the rights of
the British bondholders in connection
with Panama. The council gave out
thesfollowing:
In regard to the reported statement
of the Panama commissioners that Pan
anna declines responsibility for the Co.
lombian debt, on the ground that when
the greater part OF the money was bor-
rowed Panama was not included in Co.
lombia, the facts appear to be as fol-
lows: Panama declared its indepen-
dence OF Spain Nov. 2Sth, 1921, and in
the solemn declaration of the revolu-
tionary junta stated that the territory
ofsthe isthmus belonged to the republic
can state OF Colombia, to the congress
wehreof it would in due course send it's
deputy. The war with Spain continued
for some time thereafter, and in 1922
Colombia issued an external loan of
$4,000, 900, the greater part of which
was to be devoted to the prosecuting OF
the war of independence. In 1924
Colombia issued further loan of $685.
600, 900 for the same purpose. 1t would
be surprising if Panama attempted to
repudiate responsibility for the money
which assisted her to become part of a
free state.''

I horse and was rightly advised to buy
him, that horse became his property.
Money did not stand in the way Of a pur-
chase. All the time he was bidding for
the best the market had to offer. He
was not after horses with records estab-
lished close to the coveted mark, but
sought those that gave the greatest prom
Use. He steadily refused to race his
horses for money or to patronize the
betting ring +. He could afford to do it,
and with Mr.. Billings back of It, amateur
racing became in some respects as promi-
nent as the professional features of the
sport. VIZ
Mr.. Billings did things handsomely.
He already owned fast horses that had
won honor ON the New York speedway,
but he secured Bumps, who outfooted all
rivals to a wagon. He bought Lucille
and Little Boy and established more
wagon records. He conceived the idea
that Memphis was an ideal spot for win
tering horses, and without the promise
Of single dollar In return he built a
track and stables at Memphis that cost
$500. 000.
He, constructed elegant private stables
at HIS summer home on Lake Geneva,
and put up stable at the end Of the New
York speedway that cost him $4,000.
All the time he was buying horses for
their speed properties and progressing
toward his ownership Of the 200 horse.
The Chicago Record-H Herald says that
his greatest fortune came with his last
purchase-that Of Lou Dillon at Cleve-
land last spring. He was advised against
buying the mare, but she took his fancy.
That ended it. E. e. smathers, who is
exactly the opposite Of Mr.. Billings in
his horse dealings. also wanted the mare,
but refused to offer more than $4,000
Tor her. She was sold to Mr.. Billings.
Counting all the expense that has. at

esshorses 1t is consertatfveto estimate
that he has spent 81 ,000, 900 in gratifying
a desire to own fast horses. There has

on any investment for the sole reason
that he bought for pleasure and not for
profit. n
Probably the 200 trotter would have

tered the field for sport, but she might
