Cost of Rebuilding a City.

What it means in money tC make a start toward the recon. structiou of San Francisco takes on definite expression in the shape of estimates for the first new structures-th thirty in mum ber-whlch will be under way as soon as men and material can be assembled for the work: Sl4, 102, GOO: over Fourteen Million Dol lars, And the total floor space exceeds 36 acres. Combined in one vast structure, the plans would equal a building the size of the famous Palace hotel 20t stories high, or twice the height of the Eiffel tower.
 This is only the beginning, and refers only to the high-class structures. Up to date about 800 applications for building per mits have been filed. figures that will be largely increased as soon as adjustment of insurance is made.
 Contracting agents report that all buildings planned are invari- ably superior in class, finish and equipment to buildings destroyed by fire.
 A feature of many of the new buildings is to be the installation of an absolutely nre-proof vault in the basement, which. will be arranged to accommodate each tenant with d separate compart- ment, similar to safe deposit vaults.

Southern Pacific Reducing Pas
 Senger Rates.

The Southern Pacific has an nounced that there will be a gen eral reduction Of fares on its line and this news will be received with much joy by those who have occasion to do much travel ing in the southwest. The fare in Arizona on all lines is to be reduced from five cents per mile tO four cents. This reduction means tie slicing off of a big portion of the revenue which the railroads have been receiving from the passenger traffic. The reduction was entirely voluntary, and coming as it does in the face of an increase in tax valuations of nearly 1000 per mile, shows that the Southern Pacific has the right spirit. The reduction holds good also on all the branch lines of the Randolph companies.
 Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado will share in the benefits of the reduction. In none of these states and territories will the fare be more than four cents per mile, while in California the rate will be three cents.
 The reduction means a saving of about S2. 90 ou ticket to Los Angeles, and about S6. 50 to El Paso. From Maricopa to Phoe- nix the fare will be reduced from S2. 10 to S1.75. Between Yuma and Phoenix there will be say ing of aboutS2. co: between Yuma and Tucson, about S2 50. Rates to other points will be cores pondingly reduced.

Good News From Imperial.

During the week the channel of New river cut back into Cam eron Lake and appears to have almost stopped cutting. The water drained off from south of the main canal and very little cutting is going on there. The people turned out in numbers with their teams and built the mile and quarter of canal from the Dahlla heading to the five headgates in two days, finishing last Sunday. Water was turned through at once, and by Tuesday the water was Lack in the ditch es all over the portion that had been out of water and everybody had all the water they wanted No damage is reported from the water shortage except d few lost hogs from 1t.
 The Colorado river is falling and it is believed the highest water has been passed, but the river is liable to remain high for some time yet. The water has fallen about six inches at Calexi- co, and that has relieved the pressure there. Unless the New river channel gets to cutting again, Calexico is absolutely safe and no doubt it will be protected in any event The water situa- ton has vastly improved during the past week Fl Centro Press.

Statehood or No Statehood - UE
 to the Voters.
lJr 

The conference report on the Statehood bill has been adopted and the bill has been signed by the President. Oklahoma and Indian Territory are admitted as one State, to be called Okla hOma.
 The agreement as to New Mex ico and Arizona cOntemplates the acceptance or rejection of joint Statehood by the people of these two Territories voting at the general election in Novem- Der. A majority in each of the Territories is required for ac- tceptance. At the same election delegates to constitutional con. vention are to be elected. These will number 1l0, of which New Mexico is to have 66 and Arizona 44. The bill provides that if a majority of the voters of either Territory shall decide against joint Statehood, then all parts of the act referring to the two Ter rit0ries shall be null and void. There Is d very strong rumor atioat that the Southern Pacific Company will support the joint Statehood provision, and the same position has been taken by several leading Democrats as well as Republicans, who are outSpoken for joint Statehood. The sentiment in favor of joint Statehood has apparently grown stronger and stronger every day since the turning down of the House bill in the Senate, and if ! una IS any criterion there Is good reason to believe the pro- vision will carry at the general election. The statements that have been so freely made by newspapers throughout the Ter ritory that the Arizona senti- ment was almost unanimously against jointure, is by no means correct as applied to the present time. There is a feeling, and it is growing, that this will be our only chance for Statehood for a score of years if the provision is defeated. The conclusion is that there is no chance for single Statehood; that joint Statehood is better than Territorial vassal- age, and that we ought to accept it. It is up to the people to de- eide.

The Packing House Scandal.

As an octopus hunter it would
 be hard to beat the president. This administration will have many things to be remembered by, but few will rank in popular memory with the number of trusts detected and exposed. In
 fact it looks as though the pres ident's dictum-t that there were good and bad trustS-was near the point of disappearing. He has certainly located a plethora of bad trusts, but there seems to be a minus mark still on the side of the good ones. And the lat est of these is the packing house scandal in Chicago. The presi- dent would have passed this by in silence if he could, and very properly, too. It would have made for personal popularity and would have been good campaign material, but the president would have foregOne both of these iS- sues if he could have corrected the evil without publicity, but he could not.
 There was a good deal of sur prise when it developed that rSenator Beveridge had offered an amendment to the agricultu- ral department appropriation bill providing for very drastic meat inspection, the expenses to be borne by the packers. There was not even a division asked for ou the amendment, which was really a rider on a very i'm portant bill. From this curious piece of legislation developed the whole story. It seems that last February there was written a novel purporting to deal with the packing house conditions in Chicago. The novel was out rageous in it's statements. But the president sent out private commission, composed of the commissioner of labor and Mr. J. B. Reyolds, who is not in any way connected with the govern ment service, to ascertain the facts in the case. They reported that the novel, which it is unne- cessary to advertise by name, had not Cverdrawn the picture at all, and that the conditions in Chicago were almost too disgust ing to print. It was obvious that another trust scandal had been unearthed, and though it would have been good campaign material, an effort was made to tack the Beveridge amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill and correct the condition without creating d scandal that would affect our trade abroad. This was a patriotic enough plan, but the story leaked out from some source or other and has been blown broadcast. Proba- bly, little harm has been done. Foreign dealers have been mak- ing the most of the story as dis closed in the novel for months past, and it is just as well for the people in this country to get at the truth of the story and let what credit there is in it go to the record of the administration.
