Building for Tomorrow

To the European eye American towns and villages have the appearance of temporary structures. Even in New England, rich in stone, most buildings, except in the crowded parts of large cities, are of wood. Old and much trav- eled highways cross streams over which wooden bridges, which last but a few years, are built.
 During the first three months of this year the fire losses of the United States and Canada amounted to $64 100000, s1O. .OOO. .OOO more than for the cores bonding three months of last year. Ev- cry year cities on the inland rivers sus- tain enormous losses from floods, losses greater in the aggregate than the cost of preventing by proper embankments and other means the disastrous effects of the floods. Everywhere is evidence of a disposition on the part of Amer jeans to build for today rather than for tomorrow.
 The reason for this is that America has not wholly outgrown the spirit of pioneer days, when shelter had to be thrown together for the night. People needed houses faster than they could build them. There was not time to use brick or stone. The habit of nasty, i'm permanent building is fastened upon us, wooden houses of the fiimsiest kind rise and decay like mushrooms.
 Permanence and stability come with age. The American is taking more time to thnik of the future, he is beginning to build more solidly. One sign of this is the attempt to introduce into many American cities architectural plans foi streets and water fronts which shall give order and direction to growth foi a thousand years. The American imag ination is gaining in scope and steadi ness.-Youth s Companion,

 For this Man
A DIM RECOLLECTION or THE THIRD, A BLANK ON THE FOURTH AND A HEADACHE ON THE FIFTH.

A score of good resolutions gone wrong are scattered over Globe today; they are lying back of the saloons, they stare at you on the sidewalks; others are to be found in jail. It is the old old story-John Barleycorn has won again.
 You will have to acknowledge some thing to yourself in your misery that you would not confess to friend and that is you would not get drunk that you would enjoy yourself, that you would show your friends you would stay sober; all these resolutions you made and believed you had the power to keep them, but you have lost more strength in your effort to fight the dis ease alone and another glorious day is lost to you simply blot lost effort leaving you weaker and more miserable than ever.
 You are not only miserable yourself, but yoI have made your friends SO. Probably made day of regrets for your dear ones.
 If you are one. of the unfortunates, we are here to help you back to the sober life to the only real and happy life we cure the disease we make it pos sible for you to say no and your friends will know that you mean no when you say no.
 There were forty men in and about Globe yesterday who said no a number of the men who always said yes. Have another were with us. We had a good time some of us could not remember of hearing the report of a firecracker since we were boys and we actually saw the beautiful display of fireworks and we went to bed sober and happy thanking Dr. McKanna for the blessings he had bestowed upon us.
 If you are one of the good resolutions gone wrong, make one more and run | for the McKanna Three Day Sanitariun located at 14s Mesquite street. | We guarantee a cure, forty cures in Globe in past three months and that is our record.

Power House Burned

Postmaster Newell, who returned from Roosevelt Saturday evening, brought news of the burning of the O 'Rourke power house at that place late Friday evening, says the Phoenix Re. publican.
 The power house burned stood on the hill and was used to operate the big cable which carried and dumped the stone in the excavation where the men are laying the dam. It was run by elec tricity, the power being furnished by the big power house at the river side
 At the time the fire occurred there was no one in the house but the engin. ger. The fire was caused by friction of the brake and there was so much oil and other inAammable material that there was no possibility of stopping it. The engineer could only get out of the way and let the building burn. In a few minutes the building was consumed. The heat was intense and melted the fastening of the big cable, and it, with the carrier baskets, fell into the exeava. tion where there were about two hun. dred men at work. Some one saw the cage coming and yelled "look outl'' The men scattered and although the heavy wire cable and carrier baskets fell onto the cement wall and into the excavation, no one was hurt.
 The loss is estimated at about $l0,. 900. The small cable operated from the other power house was, not harmed, and work will be continued, but with reduced force until new motor and fix lures can be secured to operate the big cable again. The accident will retard dam building at least six or eight weeks.

yaids grow strong by sleeping out of DOORS healthy
folk conserve their strength by Opening wide their
oxygen will inevitably invade the sleeping car
Now the trouble with the sleeping isn't chiefly
the noise, it isn't chiefly the JAR it is chiefly the
fiction, which prevents sleep and sends you forth
in the morning with an invisible iron band around
your head
Electric engines sure to come, will do away with
smoke and cinders, though then therewi remain
drafts, until the railways forced to equ their

Again no draft. We may yet find it difficult to keep

The Astronomers Advance
PUT many they who must work at night,
- though their number may eventually dwindle
notably. The astronomer, the very king of the
owls, adjusts his telescope, winds up the clock
work mechanism that keeps it moving precisely
in time with the stars, exposes a photograph
plate that it will register whatever the telescope
sees, and goes home to his eoicing family Though
it is rash to predict that such instances of emanci
patton will be greatly multiplied it probably rasher
to predict that they won't.
Take single case 1t falls to the lot of man to be
sometimes compelled to quit comfortable couch,
WHAT we Call past, TO nSnC the kltCnen
fire. Why not an electric button next the bed,
gas jet under the kndlings in the range, and a
flame of set going by touching the button? This
would hardly be a more fantastic attempt to
reduce night labor than is the continuance that
keeps the baby's r,-lk warm by surrounding the
bottle with hot water bags. A howl awakes
you; you proffer t.le BOTTLE without getting up
to raise its temperature, and Immediately the howl
ceases.
However, the fact remains that now and for
decades to come good share of us are doomed to
toll by night, and society owes the night worker
at least safety. Now that telephone for the

dangerous, is still not at all adequate. perhaps
never will be: 1t is therefore desirable that every
citizen should carry light of his own. The low
power search light for indoor use awaits only the
improvement of the storage battery to become
splendid protection out of doors. And in time the
shall have long distance electric automobiles as
well as high power pocket search lights.
Furthermore, the search light has some undevel-
oped possibilities as police agent. Out in Buffalo,
where the law REQUIRES that shall remain
in the park overlooking the lake and river after
certain hour, the police boat runs by and lights
In the same way the wharves could be patrolled at

But by all odds the most urgent demand for after
dark security is its demand in behalf of women.
Hosts of wage earning women many of them
young, compelled to go about the streets alone
in the evening, and they do with grim terror,
as well they may. Saleswomen from shops that keep
open till ten mattresses from the restaurants, little
typists from the hotels, and switchboard operators
the public highways without fear and trembling,
though the hour is late And cruel is the necessity
that forbids girls who have worked since morning
and who live in cramped lodgings to walk forth
without escort for pleasure. Penned up indoors
all day, they penned up indoors all the evening,
unless they can find male guardian, unless they
consent to brave the danger of affront.
Need for Night Stores
EOOD, of the best, you can get until midnight a
little later, but the all night restaurants and the
all night hot dog wagon leave much to be desired,
which is stating the case pretty mildly. And sup
pose you want to make serious purchase-an
umbrella or a pair of overshoes sweater
hat-and suppose the desire seizes you at eleven in
the evening, what then? Rain storms and cold
waves don't wait on our convenience; the wicked
wind doesn't always, blow our headgear into -he
river during business hours and we sometimes N ed
the very thing whose acquisition least BELTS the time
of night.
A small department store containing ever thlng
human being can't survive without ought to be open
from sunset to sunrise in every city. Whe-i that
splendid institution is founded, pharmacy will be
one of its most essential features.
1t is possible too that we shall make it easy for
the night wanderer GRAND runner to find his way
not merely by labelling our streets so that their
names be read after dark but doing as much for
the numbers houses. We have lear ned pant the
streets name the glass of the gas
lamp, and we have only to take
hint from Paris to print the number "a

Parisians prefer dark blue) on white a IN

answer our own prayers; which, as it turns out,
is just what we have been trying to accomplish
in the case of darkness and its terrors Indeed the
conquest of night-the turning of night into period
of safety, of comfort, of pleasure, even-remains
