One of the oldest schoo

One of the oldest school
 "marms" of Salisbury, Mass, |, was Elizabeth Eastman, who received 10 cents a day for tu- ition. An old bill for twenty four weeks (S2.40) with a de- duction of 12 cents for ab- sences was found recently, dated 1924. It was the GUS tom in those days for pupils to carry their fuel with them, and it was probably done in this case. A bill of Master Walsh" dated ten years later, for tuition of the same pupil, gives the price as $4.33 for schooling of thirteen weeks.

With short spurs of rail- roads shooting here and there into the mining sections ot the territory, to say nothing of the building of great main lines, the development of not only the mineral, but all other resources of Arizona is going forward with an activity and vigor that speaks well for the future. Without transportation facilities equal to our needs We can hope for little; with 1t, great things are assured.
 Many of the most promis- ing mining sections in the ter ritory are practically untouch- ed because there IS no way ol getting the ore from the shaft to the smelter except over the burro line. and hundreds o rich farming lands are .lyine idle or being farmed at little profit to the owner for tn, same reason. Give Arizon; the railroads and watch he grow."-Pboenix Gazette.

TO allow the people here to vote on
the proposition of giving Kansas City
Terminal Railway Co. a 2U0-year fran

the life of the franchise. The council
and H. l.. Harmon, president of the
terminal company, have agreed upon a
200-year franchise, and it is believed
that the railroads which Mr.. Harmon
represents and the voters of this city
will ratify the agreement. Active
preparations will now be made look

union station, which, it is said, will
involve the expenditure of $20,0 00, 900.

MISSOURI GETS 2-CENT FARE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
IN KANSAS CITY ANNOUNCES
AGREEMENT.
HAVE THREE MONTHS TRIAL
Both Sides Agree to Stay Out of the
Courts Pending the Experiment
-Hadley Declares 1t a
Great Victory.

Kansas City. Mo, June 18.-The
Missouri &c passenger fare act will go
into effect Wednesday mex and be
given a three months trial. IL at the
end of that time rate should be un-
~remuneratiVe its enforcement can then
De fought in the courts by the rail
roads.
The state officials are temporarily
enjoined from enforcing the maximum
freight rate Law and this case will be
argued later in the federal court.
Judge Smith Mcpherson, in the
United States district court here, aft
er handing down an opinion maintain
ing the courts jurisdiction in the
premises, ordered the PRONUNCIATION of
the above stated facts, which had been
agreed to by the attorneys for the
state and the eighteen Missouri rail-
roads involved. The court in it's de-
cision had suggested that the &c fare
should first be given a practical trial
before injunction proceedings prevent
ing its enforcement be considered.
Herbert s.. Hadley, attorney general,
said regarding the &c bill:
If at the end of three months the
railroads want to litigate the reason
ableness of these rates, the question of
the jurisdiction of the state and fed
eral courts to determine the question
will be fought out and the state has
lost none of its rights or advantages.
The injunction suits l have brought
against the railroad companies on the
passenger rates in the state court will!
stand.
AS the reasonableness of the state
law a be more speedily heard and
determined b. the federal court on &C
count of the fact that practically all
the testimony necessary to the deter
mination has been already taken there
stand. 1t will be heard and decided in
that court. The state is in the better
position to win the case under the act
OF 1907 than it was under the law of
1905. | feel that the order made is
both a mora and a substantial victory
for the state"
