The San Francisco fire, as well as
that in Baltimore, says Golfers, has
demonstrated that the word fire
proof" as commonly used, has a wide
latitude Of meaning; and many indig-
nant owners of charred walls in San
Francisco are disposed to look upon
the term as misnomer, delusion,
and a snare. Architects build their
walls, their floors, and their partitions
of concrete and tile, and call that
fireproof building, in contradistinctioh
to one whose skeleton of steel or
wood is unprotected. But then they
go on and build the rest of the struc-
ture in a way to invite fire-decora-
lions and furnishings of wood, open
stairways. and elevators which make
fire possible, rapid, and of wide range
in its destruction. Yet to them, tech
nically, that building has been fire
proofed." The layman, the owner of
that particular building, or the tenant
who is to occupy it, has heard the
term 'fireproof" and applied it in its
fullest meaning. He occupies that
building in perfect confidence and
good faith, thinking that by some Di-
vine interposition all the wood and
other inflammable material he clearly
sees about him will not burn; he even
abstains from carrying insurance be-
cause of his occupancy of that fire.

defections from either of the other
parties to the Americans, speaks of
the person as "a prominent citizen"
"one who has long held a conspicuous
position in the community" "a life

so on. This is the plan of safety, be-
cause no one is compromised and
there is nothing tangible to deny. The

not because he was right in this or

The American nation is eager for re-
form in many directions. II the
changes in governmental matters that
are demanded were all undertaken al
once and carried out the result would
be an upheaval in affairs. If govern
ment ownership of telegraph and ex-
press companies, municipal owner
ship of public utilities, state insur-
ance, election of senators by direct
vote of the people and limitation Of
franchises were brought about there
would be mighty change all over
the land for better or worse.

Government or state insurance for
wage earners is a question that is
rapidly coming to the front Insur-
ance for poor people who can afford to
pay only from cents to rs cents
week is now done by private compan'
les who make enormous profits and pay
annual dividends of from rs to $50
per cent. These large returns are
produced in many cases by dishonest
and very oppressive measures on the
poor people who find it very hard to
pay the small weekly dole and who
after paying for years frequently lose
their insurance entirely. A radical
and decided change is needed here.
Justice Durand of Murray Is max
ing a record as a law breaker rather
than an enforced of it.
It's hardly consistent for any of the
political parties to point the finger of
scorn at any of the others for levying
campaign assessments on public EN-
ployes. It's all wrong of course, but
they all do it.
The Tribune labors hard in attempts
to show that it is right and proper
that the city should not receive inter
est on the money it has on deposit in
the bank and that the present city
treasurer should be upheld in his
course allowing 100000 to stay in q
bank free of interest. If the Tribune
is right then ex-City Treasurer Har
ris was wrong when he obtained in
terest from the banks on city money
and turned the interest money into

tablish its present position should sue
the city and the ex-treasurer for the
return of the interest to the poor
banks.

CITY oovERNMENT IN GLOBE.

In the district court of Gila county one day last week it was decided by Judge Nave that the proceedings tax en by the citizens of that place in providing the city with incorporation had been not in accordance with the provisions of The statutes and de clared that the city government haA no legal existence. Thus has Globe been disincorporated twice within re- cent years. About three years ago the citizens of Globe were taken with an incorporation fever and by petition ing the board of supervisors had the city incorporated. George Washington Patrick Hunt was appointed mayor The government was doomed to short life then for six months had not passed until there was petition circulated for the disincorporation Of Globe and receiving the required num- Der of signers the board of supervis- ors took the official life from the city and appointed a trustee to wind up its affairs which was done. At this time, however, the city government loses out not because of public sen timent against it but because the sa- loon keepers after license of sS0 per month had been fixed for saloons em- pIoyed attorneys to test the legality of the incorporation. The question now is will the people of the city of Globe submit to be ruled by saloon keepers or will they stand by city government. which is indispensable in any city as large as Globe ane again sign petition for the incorpora' ton of the city. A petition Is now being circulated ard we believe it will be more generally signed than be | fore. Globe cannot wei aford ;o have it said that 1t cannot have a city government because the saloon ele ment of the place object to paying g city license; that is the main purpose of the city government to license ant regulate the saloon business and set that a condition of decency Is main tained.

 'Th~ best way to build up town is to uand by each and every one 1 t1b tauA who does right. When 8 msa is doing we'll do not try to pull him down. All the residents of a town oaght to be partners. not op- ponsnts. In sll likelihood the more business your rival does the more you will do.

THE COPPER SITUATION


 Twenty-Five vars have passed since the copper industry was as prosper ous as 1t is today. The record high prices current in 1906 have been due to the extraord nary demand, which indicates a consumption in excess of the output both here and abroad. A suggestion that the market will con tinue indefinitely is made by produc- CTS who have sold copper for future delivery at prices thatNapproach the schedule of the famous French syndi- cate which reached it's zenith in 1880. In 1906 the extreme quotations for Lake copper at New York were IS 3-S to FITS cents per pound. Produc- ton by these mines for the nine months ending with September is es- timated at 16S ,sa1,s0 pounds, as against !6s,162,4 ,4so pounds in the cor responding period last year; an in crease of 2,72s.72O pounds; or 2.6 per cent Dividends paid by eight Lake companies from January to October. 1906, amounted to s1l,396.624, bring ing their total disbursements since in corporation to $137,705, ,94S on an is- sued capitalization of $53.7S1.S50.
 The electrolytie copper industry has shared well in the 1countrys pros perity, and after years of ups and downs the Amalgamated companys share holders will again receive div idends at the rate of 8 per cent per annum. Production in the Butte dis trict is growing rapidly and for the first nine months of the current year the. quantity is calculated at z79,33S.- 954 pounds.

.lN EASTERN VIEW.

The New York Sun speaks words of wisdom in commenting upon the de- feat of jo!nture by the voters of Ari- zcna The Sun says:
 Returns from Arizona indicate that not more than 15 per cent of the voters supported the plan for the un- ion of that territory with New Mex leo. Considering that Mir. Roosevelt had been led by advisers ignorant or reckless of public opinion in Arizona to favor this unnatural union, that eral officeholders in the territory, and that powerful influences in con- gress and elsewhere were interested, the amount of joint statehood senti- ment disclosed is pitiful enough. The facts must have been known in Wash ington. Even Senator Beveridge. so persistent in eluding them during his singular pilgrimage to the territory, must have grasped them.
 But let bygones be bygones. If Mr. Cannon and the other jointists have saved their face may they be happy in that salvation. Arizona has saved her identity, her autonomy and her future. A combination unjust to Arizona for many reasons has been avoided. ss "A state made of the two territor- les would have contained from the first the germs of i'll feeling, of op- posing self interests, of race hatred and of sectional divisions and hosul- ities. Henceforth Arizona will be free to grow and prosper in her in- divdual way, and according to the genius of her. people. as intelligent and patriotic as can be found any
 where in the United States. and with the strongest hope and pride in Ari- zona.

 unanimously. against joint statehood | The result of the work done by theii 1 spokesmen at Washington and al home Is praise and satisfaction enough | for them. They will not forget 1T their victory the friends who hav' | helped them; and among many O these perhaps Senator Fpraker ha

The territorial fair now in progress at Phoenix Is attracting thousands of visitors. Every section of the terri tory is sending train loads of wis ftors to the capital city, who desire Q meet their friends and witness the many attractions of the fair. This fargo attendance at the fair is an evil dence of the universal prosperity ok the territory. Arizona has nevvr be- fore known such universal prosperity now, due in part to the increase in wages in all principal mining camps of the territory. The sbountiful rains of the past two years has made the agricultural valleys yield unusually large crop and caused the cattle on the range to grow and fatten. We ex tend greeting to all who are having n outing at Phoenix this week and assisting the work of making a grand success of the second annual terri tQiai fair.

 Professor Unna, Hamburg, Germany, notef arthority on skin disease. ex- plodes this theory and says that dand- ruff Is a germ disese.
 This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many bald heads It can be cured if it is gone about in the right way. The right way of course and the only way, is to kill the germ.

CONTINUED GROWTH OF DOUGLAS.

The continued rapid growth of this city is surprising not only visitors who are not acquainted with the splen- did conditions which guarantee its business prosperity, but it is sur prise to citizens residing here., Dur ing the year 1906 the building ac- count of Douglas will pass the half million mark; this has been guaran- teed by actual contracts now in ex- istence Notwithstanding this splendid showing there are evidences to be found to warrant the prediction that next year will in all probability equal the past on its building record.
 Many new buildings are being planned for next year and it is . fact that there are absolutely no, houses to be had by those coming here to make their hcmcs. One real estate man yesterday told of fifteen aPpli- cations received for to rent residence property and. none could be furnished This condition should attract capital .o invest in the buying of lots here and building rental property. Certain 1y the prevailing rents in the city would be a guarantee of large re- turns on the investment.
 In the history of Douglas there never was so many people here. The business streets are crowded with peo- pie almost continually during the day. At the smeiters there is constant de mand for competent labor in nearly every department and at the top gges to be found in the West
 It is known that both the smelters now in operation in Douglas are 10 be greatly enlarged during the next year; this will mean employment for more men and this will mean greater de mand for homes in the city. Not only are the Copper Queen and Calume' & Arizona smelters to be enlarged but it may be taken as certain thal during the next year the Shattuck Arizona will have built their smeltel in Douglas or have 1t in course O construction. The coming of this smei ter will add to the population severa hundred more wage earners in it various departments.
