Senate Recommends a Ship
Subsidy Bill Hazing at
Academy Considered.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The senate
committee on commerce reported favor
ably the bill recommended by the mer-
chant marine commission for the pro-
motion of American commerce, famil-
iarly known as the "ship subsidy BILL"
Mr.. Aldrich reported from the com
mittee on finance a substitute for the
Teller Panama canal bond bill. The
substitute has the effect of giving the
z per cent canal bonds the same priv
ileges and rights accorded to other 2
per cent bonds and asked for its imme-
date consideration. Mr.. Pettus OBJ
Jeeted, but later withdrew his objection,
and the bill passed without debate.
Mr.. Elkins made a verbal report
from the committee OIL interstate COM
merce concerning the progress of the
committees investigation of the rail-
road rate question. I'VE cannot report
now he said, "but l am justified in
saying that it is the belief Of the mem
bers that later the committee will be
able to present a measure He added
that the committee had been in session
from April to June and again since
Nov. 81 last and was giving all the
time possible to the question.
The president sent to the senate the
nomination of Stephen ?. Stone to be
United States marshal for the western
district of Pennsylvania.
A resolution providing for a thorough
investigation of the situation and con-
ditions at the Naval academy was in
troduced by Representative Loud of
Michigan. The investigation is to be
made by the house naval committee,
which is especially instructed to "ascer-
tain and report whether violations of
the law and the regulations governing
the academy continue and whether
hazing, tagging, running and class fist
fighting continue in practice there and
the knowledge of and responsibility of
the officers of the academy for any con-
ditions found to exist"
The resolution empowers the commit
tee to act through a subcommittee if
deemed advisable, which may sit at the
capitol or at the Naval academy.
The senate spent four hours in dis
cussing the Panama canal emergency
appropriation bill, and when it adj
journed the bill was still under consid-
Grafton.
MI. Teller made a plea for a wider
and deeper canal than that decided up
on by the canal commission. He also
indicated a preference for a sea level
canal, admitting that its cost would not
be less than $50o 900, 900, but contend
ing that such a canal would better
meet the demands of the world.
Mr.. Scott expressed the opinion that
a mistake had been made in selecting
the Panama route and made Il speech
advocating the San Bias route. I'VE
are now confronted with just such a
situation as l have always held would
be encountered in connection with the
Panama route. We have expended
millions of dollars and are no nearer
to the completion of the enterprise than
when the United States took control
of it."

THE LAST AND BEST
Balke's Navajo Blanket Sale on To-
 morrow Night.

The last of the auction sales of Ma vajo blankets which R. L. Bake has been conducting will take place in his blanket rooms opposite the Hotel Adams tomorrow night beginning at seven o'clock After that what re- mains of the largest number of blank cts ever gotten together in the south west will be sold at private sale.
 Last week MT. Bake sold 262 blank cts at private and auction sales. They sold lower than blankets had ever brought before in this part of the country or for that matter anywhere else. Many persons who were unable to attend the auctions visited the Big Curio where they bought at the same low prices.
 Since the beginning of these auc- ton sales a few weeks ago MT. Bake has disposed of more than 1000 blank cts. This is as many as would ordin- aIily be sold in three years in the re- gular course of trade. It will be seen that the expense of handling blankets in this way is much lower and that is W nat has enabled MT. Bake to make the phenomenal prices of which the Iecple of Phoenix have enjoyed the advantage. The greater expense of selling a single blanket talk ing into account clerk hire, interest on the money invested and the other cur lent expenses of a store will amount to several dollars. MT. Bake has satis- fed himself with a small and quick pl oft on each blanket and the bal ance of the difference has gone to the customer.
 Many who bought were so well pleased with their bargains that they returned and bought again so swell ing the volume of the business. Others VI ote to friends in different parts of the country telling them of the won derful blanket opportunities which were offered in Phoenix. In conse- quence he has received numerous or ders from different parts of the coun- try.
 The prices at the next and last sale will no doubt be even lower than the attractive prices of the earlier sales.

Address: F. J. CHENEY g. CO.,.
Arizona republican., 1905-02-26

the various bids submitted for the construction of the Roosevelt dam. It has lifted a burden off of many of us to learn that the dam can be built at the figures submitted and in the time specified. There is great cause for re- joicing in the knowledge that in se- venteen months the Roosevelt dam can be g finished structure.
 It seems to be the universal senti- ment that the short time bid of Rod ericlk & Ward of St. Louis, should be accepted. Seven months shorta~e of water means hundreds of thousands of dollars loss to Salt river valley, and while their bid of $1,1S7, 200 is $39 500 higher than the lowest bid, John M. | O'Rourke & Co. of Galveston, yet that would be the saving of a mere baga- telle as compared with the immense benefit that we would derive from the completion of the dam seven months earlier than is contemplated in the bid of O'ROurke & Go.
 Our government engineers have shown on all occasions a strong desire to do that which was best for the peo- pie of Salt river valley. and we all hope and ask that they will continue that policy by the acceptance of the short time bid, for the advantages of so do- ] ing outweigh many, many times the saving of $39. 600.
 It has been pointed out that should the successful bidders be Roderick & Ward, and that should they fail to complete the reservoir in. the seven teen months, they would forfeit for each day of overtime the sum of $250 per day, and if they take the entire | twenty four months as specified in the bid of O'Rourke & Co.,, they would for felt to the government $52,500 which would really make their bid about S13,- | GOO less than the bid of O'Rourke & l Co. On the other hand it must be apparent that bidders of the great ex- i perience of Roderick & Ward know just what they are undertaking, and that the matter of paying Uncle Sam | $250 per day forfeit for non completion of their contract, does not give them great uneasiness.
 Hoping that our friends, the govern ment engineers will do that which is best for the farmers of Salt river val ley.
