RECURRING ACCIDENTS.

The Collinwood holocaust has
set men to thinking over the con-
struction of school buildings and
to the ACCESSIBILITY of providing
the proper passageways for the
exit of large numbers of children.
The spectacle of 1874 charred bod
les, remains of those who had been
the life of the household, was
enough to arrest mems attention.
Not long since the theatre disaster
in Pennsylvania and now the Col
linwood school. When will con-
tractors, architects, building COM
missioners, trustees and others be-
gin to learn that S2mething more
is needed in a buNSiing than the
mere architectural symmetry and
Public buildings are
constructed without regard to
proper means of egress, oftentimes
without proper heating facilities
and ventilation. 1t seems that the
sole idea is the seating capacity
and the seats are almost invariably
too close for comfort. Residences
are built almost altogether for
show. Ventilation is the last item
and sometimes never considered.
Crates are never fortified with
more than eighteen inches of
hearth, usually of tile. People are
so Indifferent to the dangers of fire
until they come to meet personal
loss. Experience is the best teach
er, but many refuse to profit by
it, and the future brings a recur-
renee of the same misfortunes and
disasters.

AS IT APPEARS TODAY.

tits not surprising the number of
newspapers and magazines which
have fallen into the policy of de-
tending trusts. By using the word
trust it is intended to designate
oply those branches of trade or
manufacture which are con
solidated and organized under
one head, respectively, for the
purpose of making a uniform
price system and preventing COM
petition.
These same newspapers or mag
azines, many of them, are simply
following the commercial tides,
finding it easier and more profit
able to indorse the movement than
to undertake the task of intelli-
gent discrimination and unbiased
criticism. Perhaps a number are
really serious and thoughtful over
the affair.
An article in one of the late
magazines formulates its premise
with approval of trust methods,
entering abruptly into an irrecon-
cilable attitude that a parallel
might be found in the competition
of the sun and the moon or the
earth and the P!afFsg tsfasa,Ga q"

Said in substance that to neutralize
competition was to reduce or de-

To destroy the spirit which strives

make itself at home and send for civil
ization to come and help redeem the
country. Mr.. Banta was then re-
publican and has been ever since ex-
cept on one occasion when he was
temporarily obsessed and followed
Buckley O'NeilT along a trail that led
to the camp of some popuIistic nomads
that crossed the territory one fall a
few years ago.
When the territorial government
pitched its tent in Arizona it was
tacitly understood that it was to have
the moral support and the suffrage of
Mr.. Banta until such time as it could
dispose of its holdings to a state gov
eminent. Mr.. Banta has been true to
his implied promise and has been vOt-
ing ever since. every time he got a
chance. Many years ago he indicated
his willingness to lend the same en-
cOuragement TO state government
that he had given to the territorial
organization. intimating at the time
that he would keep on voting just the
same. He is not a man to Withdraw
cause conditions change
He now calls attention to the fact
that he has done his full part and if
the state of Arizona is making any
calculations on the support of his suf-
frage, it better be getting a move on.

life when sc Observation-Disclosures U

gets tired Of waiting. Heaven is too
good place to STAY away from for
ever while one is waiting for Mark
Smith to get statehood and if the re-
publican national administration is de-
pending on any help from Mr.. Banta to

complexion, it had better fix things
during the next decade or so, or it may
be one vote shy when noses are count
ed. 1t is hoped congress will take a
hint without being kicked.

MARICOPA C0UNTi'S

Committees Organized and Ask For
Cooperation of All the People.

Representatives of the Mesa City
chamber of commerce. the Tempe
board of trade and the Phoenix board
of trade. met yesterday in the office
of the Phoenix board, and perfected a
working organization of the joint COM
mittee appointed by these bodies to
prepare a Maricopa county exhibit for
the Interstate exposition at Albuquer-

to have them in Albuquerque. The
reader can see the reason for the en-
phatic request of the citizens generally
to bring in anything and everything
they have that they can spare, that is
else.
And in request of the dry displays,
pumpkins, squashes, corn or anything
else. it is hoped the samples brought
will not be stingy Two or three hum
bred big fine pumpkins could be util-
lied and to get them it will probably
be necessary to ask for a thousand.
An effort will be made to secure the
loan OF 5000 ostrich egg shells, If so
many can be found on the ostrich
farms of the valley. and big cases of
plumage are also desired. In fact they
must be had if this industry is to be
presented as it ought to be.
A special exhibit that Mr. Jones of
Mesa is going to try and make or
have made, will be a Salt river valley
farm, intensively cultivated This is
not a picture, but the real thing.
though II will be a model only. He
proposes to lay out this farm with a
few inches of soil on top of a big box
on castors. This little farm he will
ditch in model irrigation style deY0t
ing a field a couple of feet square to
barley, an onion bed a foot square, a
lettuce patch somewhere else, etc. etc,
showing as nearly as possible all the
valley crops in small area, growing
in valley soil. The seed will be plant
ed in time so the crops will just be
coming up nicely when the exposition
opens.
Another thing. The committees
want ideas. They don't know it all
and know that they don't know it all
They want anybody who can make a
suggestion to do so. Tell it to Mr..
Jones. DR.. Norton. Mr.. Cowgirl or any
of the committeeman and do it now. A
month from now will be too late. The
committee is ready for business and
wants all sorts of cooperation from
brains to rutabagas.

The committee plans the raising of
$3.50 for the expenses of the exhibition
and it is believed that with the CO.
operation of the people in furnishing
the exhibits very good showing can
be made for that money. 1t is re-
quested that every farmer, gardener
or other person who has anything that
can be utilized as a crcditable exhibit,
will cooperate with the sub-commit-
tee on exhibits. They may leave ex-
hibits with the secretary of any one
of the three commercial organizations,
at their convenience. The committee
desires the fact emphasized that it can
do little without help. IL must have
/ exhibits and lots of them or it can do
nothing 1t will require mainly dry
exhibits for use at Albuquerque, such
things as onions, squashes, pumpkins,
grains, seeds of all kinds, cotton, ramie
corn and a score of things there is not
need for mentioning here. Greengoods
will be hard to handle and it is not
intended TO take along glass jar ex-
hibits in any quantity for the reason
that they are hard to handle and are
likely to break or be ruined. However
everything possible, both green and
dry is wanted by the three boards and
such things as cannot be shipped can
he preserved and kept on display here.
That is equally as important for dur
ing the exposition excursions are to be
run from Albuquerque to this valley
and it is Just as desirable to have good
displays for the visitors here as it is

ROOSEVELT.


Roosevelt, July 19.-Friday night
Roosevelt was visited by a severe
wind and thunderstorm. The rain fall
ling in bucketfuls, soaking through
some of the tent houses and saturat-
ing everything therein. The wind at
the same time ripped up few tent
flies and made things in general very
disagreeable. The river up>to noon on
Saturday had not risen very peceptibly
but in the afternoon it commenced to
rise and down at the dam it rose 6
feet between two and three o'clock in
the afternoon by actual measurement
Of rise and time. II continued rising
all the afternoon and during the night
though not so rapidly and this, Sunday
morning, there is quite a lake showing
with the river backed a couple of
miles up the Salt river and about a
mile up the Tonic. The contractors
got scared Friday evening and pulled
all their derricks up out Of the hole
or lower part of the dam. The tunnel
is running to its fullest capacity, but
the water is rising faster than it can
take it off.
Sunday 3 p. m. Tfs water has stop
ped rising, but holds it own. 1t came
within twelve inches of the top of the
lowest part Of the dam. The contract
ors again got busy today and placed
one derrick down i'm the hole and are
working with two others from the
sides above the hole. They are work
ing on the face of the dam and have
completed two courses of stone across
the face of the dam that were unfin-
ished Friday night, so the water will
have to rise another five feet before
II can top the dam at its lowest point.
