thought or that their organizing ta- Tents are not needed as much as they imagined. get into trouble with their local communities and move on. Many really good ren also come west and hardly get into the harness until they find opportunities for more profitable employment in some other line and leave the profession. It might be i'm agined. and probably with some truth. that this constant change would keep things disorganized but fortunately good school laws were enacted a long time ago and the old residents who have seen them tried and proved main rain them while the newer population who are, posted in school matters ap preciate them and add their support Moreover. these teachers come from many other states and even though they do not stay long. or go into other lines. if they have real ideas. those en- gagged in educational work get the benefit of them and sometimes even a poor school teacher has a few good ideas that others may assimilate. With the whole union to draw from Arizona has had the advantage of threshing over the entire educational product as represented by the army of school teachers westward bound, and has sc- lccted whatever was deemed an i'm provcueni. This applies to teaching as well as to law and to female as well as to male teachers.
 Retiring to the subject of statistics d comparative table is given in the circular showing the advancement of each year in twenty-three years. Omit ting the intervening ycarsI and giving a comparison only between 1885 and l90I the following figures will give and idea of the growth of the schools.
 In 1885 the school census was 10.219 and the attendance was 3.226. In 1907 the census was 33,167 and the attend ance was 15.352. Beside the growth in numbers it is seen by comparison that the percentage of attendance is far greater now than tWenty-three years ago and it is still too small. However. those familiar with frontier conditions can well account for a small attend ance proportionatly, without the req sons being given and as frontier con- ditions give way tc modern utilities and urban life the attendance is rapid ly getting better.
 Receipts for schools in 1885 were $1S6, 6,666.12 and expenditures $I3S.I63 = S3. This year the receipts were s697.- '62.S5 and the expenditures s620. 0.254.61.
Arizona republican., 1907-12-08

In 1885 there were l37 schools and now there are 596 The valuation of school property in 1885 was $212.3S9 and this year the valuation is S1,l5S.335. Against this there is bonded debt of districts amounting to S57O.7S7 all being prom ptly cared for.
 Another item is found that might have been mentioned above. respecting attendance. Of the 33.161 of school age only 16.g32 are between the ages of and II. the most essential school age as in the west many take early to life employments. Some attend pri- vate schools but of the whole number there are onl. S.5O5 who attend n1 school. Subtract those who have legi- timatc reasons. such as life in out of the way places and those who have passed the lower grades and quit school to take up lifes work the per centage the trgant officer should be looking after is not SD large as k sug- gested by the first casual glance al the figures. Another thing to consider is that $40 are foreign born, most Of them in lands where the little red school house is hard to find. Therr are 7,310 native born of foreign par cnts. many Of whom are not inter eSted in schools and had no schooling themselves. Another 3,107 have for eigner for one parent.
 And still another thing to be proud If is the rapid progress of the foreign born children who do attend the pub lie schools. In the list of awards al the last territorial fair many of these children were found among the prize winners.
 This year there are employed los male teachers and SIS female teachers. The average monthly salary of the male teachers is s93.3O and of the fe- male teachers s71.0s.
 These are by no means all the facts to be found in' the circular but they are sufficient to give the reader an idea of why Arizona is proud of her schools. Roughly approXimating the the schools are' nearly five times as large as twenfy-threc years ago. in attendance, wealth, and in every ma terial way. Where is the state that has done any better?

THE GRIDIRONtRS
 HAVE THtR FUN
They Especially Take Filings at the
 President and Vice President.

Washington. Dec. 7.-The Gridiron club began tonight the winter season of fun making dinners by the lively entertainment of 200 men prominent in politics. diplomacy and business. To begin with when President Samuel Blythe lit up the spacious Gridiron clubs banquet hall in the New Will lard, there was a preliminary cocktail. Vice President Fairbanks bore the brunt of this stunt. for in front of him stepped a Gridironer who sang a ditty about the Indiana dinner where cock tails were served with subsequent re- grets. Mir. Fairbanks was then allow ed a ration of buttcrmilk.
 The class in nature faking was put through an examination. The answers developed d logical connection between the octopus and Wall street.
 It was also brought out that if mon- ey talks President Roosevelt must be the richest man in the world.

THE ROTTEN CONDITION OF A COAST INSTITUTION
Governor Gillett Moves for Receiver ship for California Safe Deposit and Trust Company.

san Francisco, Dec. 7.-Orders were issued today by Governor Gillctt to Attorney General Webb, to make ap- plication to the courts for the appoint ment of a receiver for the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. AS q basis ofthe action it is said that when the bank closed it's doors early in No- vomber il had q reserve of but four per cent. instead of the 20 per cent. of the deposits as required by law. It is charged that over three millions were loaned to the directors of the bank on their personal notes without security and to companies with which some of the directors are connected. lt is further said that out of the nine millions assets only two millions could be realized on at present. The condi- ton of the bank it is said. is such that the depOsitOrs may not receive more than 22 cents on the dollar.
 The total liabilities of the trust com pany are, sI3.5O4.67267. Of this amount $S.74S.4ST.S3 is due depositors and SSi2,7ii.1s owing other banks. Against these sums there is less than s400.00o in the institution. Among the loans is one for 1,sOO.OO0 made on the stock of the Fl Dorado Lumber Co. Another loan of about the same amount was made tC the Carnegie Brick company of Stockton. Among the items of as sets is loan of sS75.000 on 2o.000,000 shares of Western Pacific common stock. which never has been listed and is not in the market. IL Is doubtful if il could be realized upon at the present time. This stock was given as bonds to purchasers of Western Pa cific railroads bonds.
 One transaction which caused much comment. was the loaning of s45o.000 to b. M. Bradford. secretary of the Carnegie Coal Company on his person. al notes. One note was for s50,0O0. secured by 20OO shares of Western Pa cific common stock. J. DalZell Brown. manager of the bank. gave out the fol- lowing tonight: "Thc statement that the company is insolVent is untrue. IL is the opinion of the committee of stockholders that with the cooperation of the depositors and changes in the directorate the company will be able to resume. The statement that large loans had been made without security is not true"

CATTLE-Receipts were very liberal this
morning, in fact, the heaviest run for some
time past. The, three days supply has
been about 5000 heavier than for the frst
half OF last week and there has been a
very noticeable Improvement in the char
acter OF the offerings.
on account OF the bearish tone TO ad-
ytceB from eastern markets and the liberal
local receipts the fat cattle trade opened
out rather slow and early bids were fully
l0c lower than yesterday all around. As
It developed later that there was a good
general demand for the fat, light and
handy-weight grades, prices stiftened up
on this class Of stock to very nearly steady
figures, but the market was slow and weak
on the heavy grades throughout.
The proportion OF COWS and heiferB on
sale today was very small, less than fifty
loads, all told and the result was a strong
active market for all desirable offerings
Veal calves were steady and there was
little noticeable change In the market for
bulls stays, etc
Business in the stocker and feeder d.
vision was rather quiet, owing to the fact
that the liberal run OF cattle Included very
few feeders. There was q good demand,
however, for the good stock and prices
were quotably fully steady, Light stun, as
usual OF late, was slow and weak although
hardly quotably lower,
