would show the wives OF British noblemen that she
was of the best dressed women in Europe and
make them furiously envious
For one of Queen Victorias drawing rooms as the
courts of those days were called, Worth himself
travelled from Paris with her gown that he might
see her in it and make suggestions as to the arrange
ment of her jewels and flowers The famous modste
gloried in designing her dresses, for he said there
was woman in Europe who could show them off
to such advantage, her figure being matchless
When Lady Abnger made her bow to Queen
Victoria in that dress, even her Majesty who was
the poorest judge of chiffons, gazed at the
in unnstakable admiration and when she had passed
demanded:
"Is that the American Peeress?"
When informed that it she remarked, What

SPECIAL CABLE TO TIE CALL.

Y VIENNA, Aug II-Director Heinrich Conreid
" Of the Metropolitan Opera-house is doing some
great hustling in Europe this The
Herr Director" as the Viennese call him, is
usually pretty busy man when he comes over here,
but owing to the San Francisco catastrophe the
work before him this trip is 50 enormous that his
former business visits were mere holidays in COM
parison For to replace the scenery and properties
OF wenyone operas, and the 1924 trunks of theatri
cal costumes swept away by the great fire on the
Pacific Coast in April is easy task.
An ordinary man would hardly know where to
make beginning. But Conreid has, according to his
Viennese friends, positive genius for organization
and an unlimited capacity for work, and he threw
himself into his task with the utmost speed and
vigor Before he had been day in Vienna, scenic
artists and costumers had begun the work, They
before them orders aggregating nearly million
bronen, or 100000, probably the biggest contract
ever given out at any time, and they prepared
10 hustle accordingly
By far the greater part of this sum will be ex-
pended dresses which are being made at the
Austrian Costume Ateer here in Vienna, the most
celebrated establishment of the kind in the world
Conreid placed few orders for ballet costumes in
Paris as the French understand these things better
but for everything else in the way of theatrical
costumes Vienna stands pre-enlinent the place
OF production.
Since Director Conreid's arrival the 200 odd en-
ployes Of the Austrian Costume Atelier have been
working day and night and Sundays The work
rooms are crowded with things being prepared for

avenue
The chief of the Vienna atelier, Rudolf Wnternitz,
declares that his firm has particular and
eXactng customer than the New York opera director
who knows exactly what he wants and insists upon
having it. Conreid's memory is marvellous, says
Winternitz, for he never forgets costume he has
once seen. He has in his head the scenes of every
opera and tell instantly what particular shades
OF colors must be used for every group or single
actor.

A Change Is Needed.

In voting for delegate 10 congress party affiliations must not be considered in the coming election, fer all intelli- gent voters owe to both self aud terri tory a ballot which will result in the best work being done for the territory. This can be done in no better way than by voting for w. r. Cooper. Take for the moment that Mark Smith is an honest, conscientious man: what has he done for the citizens of Arizona? How long has it taken him to accom- plish nothing? Let him be the most honest and conscientious man in chris

He has been tried aud he has been tried many times, even to the tune of $70, ,000 in salary, and yet be can not produce value received.

Furthermore he is going to be given trial. When his one term k out if he has not accomplished ten times the amount for the interest of the territory that Mr. Smith has in his al- most quarter of century, we will be first to cry down and out with him. But the voters know that he will be found up to full measure.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness is caused by an inhamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-' tachian tube. When this tube Is in- famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tire!y closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

Epes Randolph Says Collapse of the Redwood Gate WEI CaaSe
 Delay Only.

Colonel Epes Randolp in an inter- view with reference to the closing of the Mexican intake of the Imperial ca nal, said, yesterday;
 ''The collapse of the wooden head gate does not mean that the California Development Company will fail to con trol the water, it simply means delay.
 ''It has always been known hy reason of the fact that the foundation of the gate was upon piling driven into sand that it might fail, and this type of structure is only jtstiiable because if it held it would be the quickest means of controlling the river.
 cit may be possible to construct a dam across the stream where the ga:e stood, and if this is successful the delay resulting from the failure of the gate to hold will amount to about week or ten days. If this should prove unsuc- cassful the river will be eventually controlled by means of the concrete headgate. If the river conditions are normal this work can be accomplished bv December 1j"

Indians Wan.ed at the Damsite.

Indians Wanted at tlie DaMsite.
 George E. Brown, custodian of the Indians on the reservation south of the city, yesterday received notice that the constructor on the Laguna dam work was prepared to enter into contract for Indian labor up to the number of 300, says the Phoenix Republican. The pay is $l.75 per day of eight hours, to which contractors on government work are held down.
 Transportation is furnished Indians by the agency as far as Yuma, and from there to the Laguna damsite, fifteen miles, it costs them 90 cents for stage fare. The contractor prefers nn- married Indians, but if they are mar ried he allows them 10 bring their wives and children. The women are furnished employment in the cook houses and elsewhere about the camp,
 There is a curious arrangement by which. though the Indian is compclle to pay his fare from Yuma to the dam site, his squaw and papcoses are carried free. If tee IEGian works az long as thirty days the contractor pays his fare back to the reservation.
 Formerly all the employees on the work were charged hospital fee of sI a month. taken out or his first week : wages. That is slightly changed now. The same hospital fee is charged, but it is paid weekly, at the rate of 9 oeotc

Decreased Taxes.

The valuation of assessable property in Arizona as fixed by the territorial board of equalization is &63, 100000, an increase in two years of more than S17,- GOO, ,OO9..
 This is gratifying to the taxpayers of Arizona. It has decreased the rate of taxation, and the increase comes from the mining counties, which have heretofore escaped paying their just proportion of taxes. This has been ac- complished through the efforts of Gov Nibbey.
 The work of the governor is not ap' proved by the newspapers of the min ing companies, who seem to think that the mines should escape taxation and that the territory should submit to any suggestion the mining corporations should care to make regarding the taxation of their property.
