PHOENIX WANTS A
 FEDERAL BUILDING
Board of Trade Urges All Friends of the Valley to Exert Themselves in Helping 70 Secure 1t.

The board of trade is now energet- ically eXerting itself in the effort for securing a federal building for Phoe- nix, and has decided to ask for the as- Sistance of the press in a campaign of publicity that it is hoped wIll impress the members of congress with the inn portance Of the project. The building is not asked for on political grounds, or merely because Phoenix wants as many nice houses as possible, but on the ground that it will be a good busi- ness proposition for the government
 Sometime ago Delegate Smith wrote to the board that he proposed to in trOduce a bill for federal building in Phoenix, and the board replied urging him to do so and giving him such data as was at hand, suggesting that an ap- propriation of S150,000 would be ample for the purpose MT. Smith replied that $250,00O could be secured as cas- ily as sl50,000 and said he believed that amount should be asked for This let ter was not replied to for a few days as the situation was being further canvassed. The larger figure would be the most pleasing to everybody. but it was concluded that a building ample for the needs of the city for sometime to come could be built for the lesser figure, and the board concluded to stand on its initial request and be

 ADVANCE SALE GOoD.-The ad- vance sale of tickets for the recital to be given by Miss Edith Moves of BOs- ton at the Arizona School of Music on March 9th has been very encouraging and a large crowd promises to be in attendance. Miss Moves is a talented impersonator and reader whose work has been given the stamp of approval by many noted actors and dramatic critics. The price has been placed low because there have been so many entertainments in Phoenix the past season and not because the recital will be any the less artistic and meritOri- ous. The pupils of Mrs. Mae Cooley are taking an active interest in secur- ing promised patronage.
 SUPERIOR QUIET-F w. Hoar consulting engineer for the Lake Su- perior and Arizona mine at Superior accompanied by his family. was a vis- itor in Phoenix yesterday. He reports that mining is quiet at Superior. all though there are many capitalists showing up every week in the camp, looking over the prospects. None of the companies are doing much at pres ent, but there are indications of re- sumed activity shortly. The Lake Su perior and Arizona company a few days ago held a meeting at Florence. The property is the largest developed mine in the district and the ore ship ments have proved a high per cent of copper, the best running as high as 30 per cent and the average 15 per cent.
 BANK RECEIVER.-Mr. F.. C. Per ldns, prominent attorney of Lincoln, Illinois, arrived in Phoenix yesterday from Globe where he had been sent by the Comptroller of Currency to take charge Of the affairs of the First Ma tional Bank some months ago. The bank resumed business on Saturday. and it has started off with an assur- ance of financial and friendly support. Mir Perkins came bv the way of Roosevelt it being his first trip to Ar izona, and he was much interested in what he termed the eighth wonder of the world. On arriving in the valley he was wonderfully surprised to view such fine farms. He toured in an au tomobile over the greater part of the valley yesterday and looked at tract of land which he cOntemplates pur- chasing later. He intends to return with one or two other Illinois business men and plant some capital down in Salt River valley soil and see how it will increase. Mir. Perkins says it did not take thirty minutes ride through the valley after visiting the dam site to convince him that here was chance to get in on the ground floor and make some money. He will leave today for Illinois.
 ONLY ONE COURSE POSSIBLE.
 Tokio. March G-(Friday nOOn) Associated Press was informed this morning that the negotiations with China in the matter of the seizure of the Japanese steamer Tatsu, had not reached the ultimatum stage yet and it was further stated that Minister Hay ashi at PeHin had not been instructed to that effect. It is also believed that Minister Hayashi has not made any threats to use force. It is admitted, however that in the event China fails to yield only one course is possible.

It is not at all unlikely that the rentals three years hence will aggregate S10,- GOO. These figures tell their own story. Briefly, it is that at the present time the rentals paid in Phoenix would re- pay the United States a yearly income. at per cent upon $175.000. For added space needed, with added rental costs. as suggested above, the percentage of repayment would be upon an invest ment of $25O,OOO.
 The stability of Phoenix is absolute ly sure. It should be understood that it is not a mining camp. though min ing contributes to it's prosperity to a degree. It owes it's wealth and growth almost entirely to agriculture. Around the city lie 250,00O acres of wonderfully fertile land, irrigated from Salt river. To the natural supply soon will be add ed that stored by the great works at Roosevelt. Altogether, in this vicinity the reclamation service will spend S ,OOO in the development of stored flood water. in storage and distributing works Today Phoenix has about 1S,- 900 residents. It is not even optimistic to predict a population of 50,0 900 five years hence
 Postoffice figures bear out this pre- diction. In 1897 the office postal in- come was S1S,37S In the following years the figures were: S20. .222. 21,321. S2S. .734, s24.66S, s26964, s29.1O6, s31, ,0SO, s34.345. S362SS For the last fiscal year it was s42.124. making the office first class. the only one of the class in Ari- zona and New Mexico. The income for tne current fiscal year will be, at least, S4S0OO. Surely. these figures demonstrate stability and growth without a boom"
 We do not seek this building as a political favor nor as an ornament to the city. We believe it tO be a plain business proposition, one that would repay the investment, giving an inter-

Snowslides Near Telluride.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Telluride Tuesday night, says:
More than dozen men were caught
in snowslides today in different min
Ing camps near here and their escape
from death is considered wonderful.
One miner, Greek, name unknown,
was SO badly injured that he was un-
conscious until a late hour tonight and
1t is feared that he may die.
Five men in one party and three in
another were carried long distances
and buried, but were quickly dug out
The Valley View slide this forenoon
was one of the worst. A large party
of miners was trying to open the trail
when the slide came down and caught
five of the party. They were carried
a distance of 1000 feet Their fellow
workmen Immediately followed the
slide down the mountain and by hard
work dug out the buried men, who
were not badly injured.
Another slide occurred Just below
the Liberty Bell mine, three men be-
ing caught and carried several hun
dred feet down the mountain side. A
fourth man in their party escaped the
side and reported the accident. After
few hours work the men were res
cued. One of the party, Greek, was
unconscious when rescued and he may
not recover.
A slide just below the Stilwell tun-
mel almost caught a party of men who
were driving a six-horse team and
wagon. The horses were caught, one
being killed, but the men escaped
without injury.
The Ajax slide, back of the Smuggler-
Union mill, is said to be running to-
night and 1t is expected that several
slides will occur before morning. but
1t is believed that the people will keep
far enough away to avert loss of life:
A second slide near the Valley View
mine carried away most of the black
smith shop. No one was working in
the shop at the time and no other dam
age was done.

the first of all presidents to apply un-

everyday life and to the enforcement

At prayer meeting in the Great
Northern theater, Rev. DR.. Dixon de-
clared before an audience of 1000 peo-
pie that President Roosevelt's latest
message to Congress is one of the
greatest sermons ever written. Later

Only One Pension Agency.

The House committee on appropria-
tions Tuesday reported favorably the
pension bill for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1909. The bill as reported
abolishes the pension agencies located
at Augusta, Maine; Boston, Buffalo,
Chicago, Columbus, Ohio; Concord,
New Hampshire; Detroit, Indianapolis,
Knoxville, Louisville, Milwaukee, New
York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, San
Francisco and Topeka, and consoli-
dates in one central distributing agency
at Washington. The bill as reported
carries a total pension appropriation
of $150,S69,000, which is s174,000 less
than the aggregate estimates-the ex-
act sums available by the constitution
of the agencies.
The radical change in the pension
agency system was decided upon by
the appropriations committee in accord
with the recommendation of Secretary
of the Interior Garfield and Commits
sioner of Pensions Warner, after ex-
haustive consideration in sub-commit-
tee. The secretary of the interior told
the committee that under this consoli-
dation of the eighteen pension agen-
cies in one central agency 100000
would be saved to the government in
=
$225,000 annually thereafter and that
under the new system all pensioners
could be paid as promptly as they are
now paid by the eighteen agencies and
without inconvenience The immedi-
diate saving will be s6S,000 in salaries
of pension agents, $4,000 on account of
rent of the New York office, $1OO, 900 in
clerk hire, and $500 in cost of exam
ination and inspection Of agencies.
There was paid to 967,371 pensioners
in the last fiscal year the total sum of
$13S, ,S94, and the total pensions paid
for all wars and the regular establish
ment since the foundation OF the re-
public was S5,59S, S,015,732
although the number Of clerks in
the pension bureau was $50 less in the
fiscal year 1907 than in the previous
year." says the report, "the applica-
tions for pensions filed in the fiscal
year 1907 were 440,517, as against 2O1,-
322 the previous year."
There is now living" says the re-
port, mo soldier or soldiers widow of
the Revolutionary war, and there is no
pensioner soldier living of the War of
1872, but at the end of the last fiscal
year there were on the roll 55S widows
of soldiers of that war"

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS.
Commissioner Smith Says That Pub
Ilolty is the Great Corrective.

Washington, Public opinion has
been prompt and efficient in the cor
rection of commercial evils when those
evils are stated specifically.
This is one of the conclusions
reached by Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, and ex-
pressed In the annual report of the
operations Of the bureau Of corpora
tions, just made public.
Naturally, under present conditions,
the real power of public. opinion
reaches only such cases as may be
specifically stated"
Thus" says Commissioner Smith,
'the experience of the bureau seems to
point logically to the need for an ex-
tension of such results by the creation
of a general administrative system of
supervision of interstate corporations
which shall give. in substantially the
same form as is furnished now for a
few corporations, the essential facts
relating to all the great interstate cor
porations
whether the system takes the form
of federal license plan or simple re-
quirement that interstate corporations
shall make reports and submit their
books to a federal bureau, is of little
consequence so long as the information
necessary for publicity is obtained. The
thing that is important is to arrive at a
system which will accomplish the re-
suit; which will enable the govern
ment to deal with such corporations in
the main by administrative supervis-
ion rather than judicial procedure;
whose methods will be preventive
rather than penal; and, most i'm
portant of all, system which will af-
ford permanent practical ground for
contract and cooperation between the
government officials charged with this
work on the one hand and corporate
managers on the other hand
"1t is with such information as the
bureau Of corporations is able, under
the law, to collect and publish, that the
great corrective force of public opin-
ion can be intelligently and efficiently
directed at those industrial evils that
constitute the most important of our
present problems.
Corporate combination as such ap-
pears to not only be an economic nee
essity, but also largely an accomplished
fact. 1t is not the existence of indus
trial power, but rather is misuse that
is the real problem. The government
should direct its attention toward pre-
venting unfair methods and toward
keeping open the opportunities for
competitive industry"
Commissioner Smith says he is con-
tinuing the investigations already be-
gun into the industries Of petroleum.
tobacco and steel. Under resolutions
adopted by the last congress the bu-
reau is also making investigations into
the operations of the International Har-
vester Company, the cause of high
price of lumber. into the causes of
fluctuations and differences in the
price of cotton. and into patents
granted to officers and employees of the
United States. An inquiry also is be-
ing conducted into water transporta-
tion, both coastwise and internal.
