ADJUSTMENTS


The sale of reserved seats fer the two performances to be given at the Do r s theater by the famous kiltiss' band opens this morning at 10 o'clock ct GoOdnI2n's. Over tl;ree yeals ago this famous Scottish-Canadian organ zation or musicians was induced to make a short tour of the United States. They scored an instant hit. and the reques s that poured into the headquarters at Belleville frcm all over America, ask ing that the band visi. their lccali-.es, made it. necessary to put tho organ;za- tion on Q thoroughly up to date touIihS basis. Since that tirre the band has travelled almost continuously, so great has been the demand from all ove' Amcrica for the services of this 1e- markabie bend of artists. Eacn season there has been some marked imp. Ove- ment in the entertainment provided. From the first 1t wcr lecogn zed ' one of the leading musical organ zl- tions of the world, but after three years of constant service, and co-sid crins that the hand includ=s scme of the greatest musicians that Anne rica has produced. they are now admitted to be mUslcclly at the head of all the 2 bands.
 The novelty Of what might be callcd the speciality features wi h tce baud has made quite as big a popular hit as the band proper. The famous TnaI choir, the Highland dancers, tte yea. soloist, the buglers, bagpipsrs and oth- CT special features, together with ttla beautiful Highland uniform have com bined ir making The Kilties' 2" visits throughout America ors continued cya- ton.

ARGUMENTS FOR TONTO ROAD
Campaign Literature Issued by the
 Water Users Association.

The Salt River Valley Water Users association has issued a ramphet en- titled, Facts To Be Cons. .dered by the Voters of Phoenix, Tempe and Me a Concerning the Tonto Road, and Vot- ing Bonds for Aiding in Its Ccnstruc- ton" which in the fewest pos i1le words advances many of the more i'm portant reasons why the voters of thi 3 city and likewise of Ten-pe and Mesa should vote for the issuance of bonds for the construction of the Tonto rcal7. The pamphlets are being distribute ed through the agency of the board of trade.
 In opening the pamphlet it is stat cd that Facts aIore should te taken into consideration by the people of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa in detern- ming whether or not they will vote for an issue of bonds in aid of the pro posed T0nto read" II is then s.ated that the legal advisers Of the govern ment have decided that it cannot ex- pend out of the reclamation fund a sum sufficient to make tEe road, alcng which the electric transmiss,on line is to be erected, Q practicable freight and wa ron road"
 Continuing the pamphlet states that 'the difference in cost between the transmission line trail that the govern ment proposes to build out Of the re- clanlation fund 'and a practicable wagon road is about S75COO and this sum will have 10 come from elsewhere than the reclamation fund if the wag- on read is built at all; and 1t is this sum that PhcezIx Temre and Me a gre authorized by congress to con, rib uta''
 After stating tSat the goverrue- { in purchasing food supplies will, of neces sity secure them from the chea~ost source, from the place wA.ch ig the most accessible, t is Pon,ed cut that without the wagon road Phoenix VII not be accessible and will as a cone quence lose the government trade. Con- tinuirg the pamphlet says:
 For the newt four years the money expended at Tonto for labor and fo-d supplies. both of which can be obtlin- ed in the Salt River valley. if not barred by ;cle difficulty and cost o4 transportation. will exceed $15C0 ger day fer every business day in the year; $1G00 for labor and $500 fer food supply Tn other words, # the food supply is obtained from this valley there will b expended here, on that account aicne more thSn $500 per day; and by To. eating the employment office here there will bc q continual stream Of labo CTS numbering well up into tce thoIsand going and coming through tho c.ty f0l several years. each one of whom woul. leave here more or less cash, and t | whom the total wages paid would ex ceed 5000 per day.

MAGNIFICENT
STRUCTURE TO
Be Built by the Elks
Of Prescott.
Will Eclipse, in Size, All Others in
PreSCOtt-Equipped for Pub
lie Entertainments.

The Prescott Elks have accepted
plans drawn by Architect Minor for
their new building which will be
erected on Gurley street just across
the alley east of the Prescott Electric
telephone office. Arrangements have
been completed for its construction,
and the work of excavating for the
foundation will be commenced next
Monday.
1t is we'll known fact that what
ever the Elks undertake to do they do
it just a little better than other peo-
pie. The building they propose to
erect will be just a little larger than
anything now in Prescott, excepting
the Hotel Burke building, and will be
just little finer in many respects,
though in some respects it may be ex
celled by one other building.
1t will have a ninety foot frontage,
on Cortez street and will extend back
along the alley 125 feet, and the rear
portion of it will be 100 feet wide.
The first floor will contain four
store rooms, and the main hall, which
will be the home of the Elks will be
on the second floor and will be 97x63
feet. 1t will have an arched ceiling.
The side walls will be twenty five feet
high and from the floor to the center
of the arch, the height will be 30 feet.
The hall will not only be the largest
and most commodious in town but
will be fitted up accordingly, so that
public entertainments can be given in
it. There will be four club rooms and
a banquet hall also on the second
floor.
The estimated cost of the building
is between $40, 900 and s45. 600, which
with the value of the lot, $1,000 will
make the total cost of the property
over $4,000 Work will be pushed
lust as rapidly as possible on the con-
struction of it.

couple of evenings ago that a great
many people in the city will not at
tend a performance in the Odd Eel
lows hall while the stage is built in
front of one of the means of exit to
the hall and so close to the other that
should a fire start on the stage it
would be almost impossible to escape
from the building except by jumping
to the pavement below. The senti-
ment was heard expressed last night
by several parties in the hall that the
place was regular death trap as it is
now, and the audience never breathed
entirely easy until they were out of
the building.
In the first place the hall has only
one stairway or way of exit and this is
only reached after passing through
two rooms after leaving the main hall,
and is not very large after it is reach
ed. Fire escapes should be provided
in some way and the stage should be
erected in the front of the hall instead
of the rear. If these precautions were
observed the people of Prescott would
be willing to overlook the defects of
production of a play caused by the
poor stage facilities, but until they
are many people will not take the
chances of attending the productions
that are given there.

Hope Has New Powder.

Col. W. Hope, of London, an
nounces that after niLe and a half
years continuous work, in which he
has calculated and recorded over 10,
600 experiments, be has produced an
absolutely safe and stable smokeless
powder which he calls veloxite. He
claims that it contains % per cent
more power as propelling agent,
weight for weight, than the govern
ment's present powder, yet it contains
no nitro compound, no sulphur, no
phosphorus, no chloride, in fact, no
dangerous ingredients whatsoever. The
flashing point of black powder is at
$40 degrees, Fahrenheit; that of cor
dIte and all nitro powders is only
from 300 to $40 degrees, while that of
veloxite is about y, 600. He says that
veIoxite stands the hammering of
sledge hammer on an anvil. The set
ing up of chemical action Is impos-
sible in any length of time and in any
variations of climatic conditions.
Veloxite can be made in the morning
and fired in the afternoon, not requir-
ing, as others powders do, several
weeks to manufacture. 1t can be made
cheap; its ingredients can be pur-
chased in unlimited quantities by the
ton; it is available for small arms
equally with artillery.

Fire Does Damage.

A telephone message was received
in Prescott last night from John
Crume's station that his stables we're
destroyed by fire aud that their con-
tents, including five stage horses, be
longing to Coy Carey, and saddle
horse, were killed and the buildings
and everything near them we're totally
destroyed. Coy Carey was in Prescott
when the news came.
1t seems that Mr.. Crume and all
other persons at the station, except
one hired man, had gone to a dance a
few miles from there, and it is sup
posed the fellow who was left behind
to take care of things got drunk and
in some way set the barn on fire and
was too drunk to get the animals out.
The sides of the building seemed to
burn up and this let the roof fall in
on the poor animals which were tied
to their stalls, and they we're all
killed.
The loss will be very severe on Mr..
Carey as he has only had the stage
route a few months and while he was
doing a good business the loss of five
of his best horses will be severely felt
by him.

Has Elks Ratified.

A telegram from Seattle to the Los
Angeles Times contains the following
sensational and at the same time
rather improbable statement:
"Mrs. Inez E. King has Ballard
lodge of Elks ratified. She says that
through carelessness on the part of
the lodge, she has been able to witness
the initiation of fifty members during
the past eight months. The reason
she gave her knowledge to the Elks
was that her husband was about to
be initiated and she did not care to
have him accused of betraying secrets
she already knew.
Her course of procedure was to place
a plank from the neighbOring build
ing, across to the window of the
Elks' lodge room, AMI from n point
outside the window she saw all that
went on INSIDE. So far, she has not
revealed what she saw, but says:
''The antics saw are not for me to
tell. intend to keep the pledge
have taken, as long as the Elks do
what is right by me. L do not want
to become an Elk, but simply want to
be recognized. L know all orders,
signs, words, pass words and every
thing which has transpired in Ballard
lodge for eight months previous to the
night my husband became a member.
Mrs. King has been requested, she
says, by an officer of the supreme
lodge of Elks to keep her knowledge
to herself. -

APOLOGISTS FOR ANARCHY.

The recent brief editorial, which APP
peared in the Journal Miner in refer
ence to the vindication of the three
Los Angeles detectives, for perform
ing their duty, at even a severe cost,
was not expected to meet the approval
of blood thirsty anarchists, or of radi
cal socialists, who are opposed to all
forms of law. From the outbreak
which appeared in the He-railed last
evening it is evident that this expec
tation was we'll founded. That apol-
ogy for a newspaper, sandwiches in
between a lot of attempted sarcasm
against the editor of this Fpaper lot
of anarchistic quotations from the
Los Angeles Express, in reference to
the case. The Journal Miner was we'll
aware, when it published that editor
all, that the Express, Herald and Ex
aminer have been making a vigorous
fight against the police department,
against law and order, and in favor of
thugs and assassins, and any one who
will make trouble for the police, or
cast discredit on the peace officers of
Los Angeles.
1t was shown on the trial that testi
mony was introduced which was
most palpabIe perjury, and which was
incontrovertibly shown to be such, and
it is on this fiimsy foundation, that
the newspaper breeders of lawlessness
base their argument made against the
police officers.
The two pages of endorsement of
Justice Chambers decision, published
in the Times, from the leading and
most prominent and influential bust
ness men, attorneys and ministers of
Los Angeles, is worth more as indi-
eating the trend of public opinion
than acres of Justification, venom and
Islander against the police by papers
which have for months been arrayed
against the Los Angeles police depart
ment.
The He-railed in its spasmodic out
burst of venom and seniIe attempt to
be sarcastic, inadvertently and unwit-
tingIy compliments the Journal-Miner
by referring to its criticism as being
"about on par with other utterances
the same organ has published. The
JournaI-Miner is and always has been
an advocate of decency, and law and
order, and it was on these lines that
the editorial referred to was written,
and it is for these principles that
the paper stands, although it must ad-
NIT that the pueriIe effort of the He
rallied to belittle it, is scarcely worth
the ink used in this article.
