FLAGSTAFF. Ariz.. Jan. 1.-It is rumorea that one of the prominent wool growers of this place has re- Ce4Nea an ac-Snce offer of 19 cents for ms wool clip this season.

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, Jan. L.
 Especial lowing to the fact that San Antonio contains thirty-six square miles. the exact size of the city of Boston. the building of sidewalks has eoI kept pace, until lately. with tae growth of the city. About a year ago the Business Mems Club set on foot a campaign for good sidewalks, which under the fes.sT1ng care Of Mayor Bryan Caliaghan. hts resulted In the const trucfioa of eight or ten miles of new sidewalks at a cost of probably sf50,000. Under the homestead law of tais state it is not possible to pro ceed against that class of property for public improvements. consequenSlyth the car1paiss has had to be one of per fuasion and civic pride At the sug- sestio1 of the mayor the newspapers have published a roll of honor of those who built new sidewalks. and succeeded in enjsfing the women in t.3e work Under pressure of thcfr wives the bouseholders could not es- cape the wave of civic improvements, and c5e desire not to be oufdone by Mrs. Bland around the corner, has operated to keep the good wives of San Antonio behind the movement that has resulted in such a phenomenal building of sidewalks.

CONFERENCE WITH
 FLORENCE PEOPLE PROMOTERS OF SAN CARLOS STORAGE PROJECT MET BOARD OF TRADE COM mfTTEE YESTERDAY. Conflict of Statements With Those of Railroad Representatives Will Probably Result in An
 other Meeting.

The special committee of the board of trade to which was referred the matter of the investigation of the mer- its Of what is known as the Gila river box canyon controversy. held meet ing yesterday afternoon at which were present representatives of the interests of the Florence people and the capital ists concerned in the proposed con struction of a storage reservoir at what is known as the San Carlos site The Arizona and Eastern railway. the proposed extension of the Phoenix and Eastern from Winkelman. has laid be- fore the interior department it's appli- cation for a right of way to extend its line through the canyon on what is known as the low line grade. The reservoir interests have protested against the granting of this permis- sion. contending that it will destroy the use of the site already filed upon for a reservoir and that the railroad can establish equally as good d grade at a higher level.
 The railroads and the storage inter csts have both sought the influence of the Phoenix board of trade in defense of their respective positions. At a meeting d few days ago :he matter was brought before the board by a presentation on the part of railroad interests and the special committee re ferred to above was appointed to in vcstigate the subject in all it's aspects. Yesterday a hearing was given to those who have filed the protest In very material statements the two pres entations were flatly contradictory The result of yesterdays hearing was a decision on the part of the commit tee to hold if possible third hearing at which both sides should be repre- scented, when differences in the state ments of facts could be more nearly harmonized or scaled down to the bald points of variance which must serve as the premises of the board in any opinion if may ultimately express. The date of the third hearing. if it can be arranged. could not be timed yesterday to suit all concerned and it was left open for the committees later an nouncement It would appear however that If such a meeting is held it will have to be between the middle and the latter part of January.
 The meeting yesterday was presided over by Dwight E. Heard of the spe- cial committee and there was a free and frank discussion of the question. The Florence people stated their atti- tude in the controversy after which the various members of the committee questioned them on many points they were not clear about. The hearing was an entirely pleasant one. the Flor ence people appreciating that the at titude of the board is that of seeking information and the committee fully appreciating the importance and the delicacy of its situation.

STAGE NATIONALITY.
Majority Of Great Actors of Neither
 Irish Nor Jewish Descent.

It is often said that the majority Of good actors on the English speaking stage are of either Irish or Jewish ori gin. Like many such generalities. 1t is true only in a limited extent, for the theater has just as many people of scotch descent as of the two first men, tioned races. sa:s the New Yorw Re- view
 The Sotherns. for instance. are Scotch on the mothers side. The Drew Barrymore family. of course, is Irish. Yet their genealogical table shows them to be descended from Frederick Lane and Eliza Kinloch who undoubtedly was a Scotch woman
 Mrs. Kendars ancestor, James Rob- ertson. was born in Dublin: yet the family came from Perthshire.
 The Booths. to be sure. were Jewish Henry Irving's father was a Cornish man and his mother Irish. But the Comptons. an English family that has produced innumerable actors and actresses. trace back to the Mackenzie of Kintail.
 Without doubt the first theatrical family in England is that of the kem- bles. It is very difficult to find any person of professional lineage who is not in some way connected with the Kembles. The notifications are really exceedingly complicated. While the comptons are usually spoken of as a family by themselves. also the Bate mans, Blads, Barnets and Glovers, they are all to certain extent branches of the Kemble tree. And there is Scotch blood running through them all The Batemans. for a in- stance. are descended from Sir John Murray of Boughton, secretary of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Sir Johns granddaughter married Mrs. Siddonss son. and Mrs. Siddons as everybody knows. was one of the Kemble tribe The best known scion of this branch in America is Harrison Hunter. while the best known member of'the other branch is H. Cooper Cliffe Of MT Will liam Favershams company.
 In America. as in England. the old theatrical families are no longer prominently represented on the stage with a few exceptions. Such names as those of Wallack Booth, Barrett. Kem ble and Bland have practically disap- peared from the playbiTls. -Drews and Barrymores. Aliens and Davenports. of course, are, if anything. even more to- the fore than they were during the last century Furthermore. the ramifica- tions in the various trees are SO com- plicated. and the links connecting them so numerous that probably there never will he day when scions of the great footlight families are not acting.

POST OFFICE RUSH
 HAS ABOUT sUBsfDEO
Tremendous Christmas Business Was Satisfactorily Handled by an
 Efficient Corps of Clerks.


 The Christmas rush at the postoffice is now about over. The postmaster is congratulating himself that every thing has worked so smoothly and the people of the city are surely appre- ciative of the service that has been rendered About a dozen extra clerks were used during the rush and the postmaster says he is pleased to say that they all proved exceedingly com petent in their respective positions.
 The office was. kept open on Satur- day and Sunday for three hours each day to deliver Christmas mail and about thirty postoffice employees were busy serving the public. The Christ mas season witnessed record mails both outgoing and incoming.
 The quantity of mail handled through the office during the week can hardly be appreciated without having seen it. both in respect of ordi- nary mail and registered mail. On the goth there were received or dispatched 1910 registered letters and parcels. that being a record day, but the record was further broken on the 24th when 1855 registers were handled. The handling of these was greatly expedited by the recent changes in the system which permits most of the registers to go out in exclusive sacks to all the principal offices of the country. there being very few loose or single parcels sent in the general mail. The incoming registers were mostly opened and made ready for delivery during the night and early morning hours Everything was clean ed up the day it arrived, the registry department system working perfectly.
 On Saturday and Sunday extra car riers were put on to assist in the de- livery of the surplus Christmas mail accommodating the night before and ar irving on the early trains. The rural carriers for several days discarded their ordinary conveyances for two horse teams. The mails both arrived and departed in big two horse wagon loads and nearly all of them were late. hardly a single mail from the east ar irving on time. The mud for a few days also made the local delivery hard CT. so that altogether the postmaster feels quite proud of the good service rendered by his force and for which he began planning some weeks before. Never were the general conditions more irritating and never were the re- suits more satisfactory.
 A fact worthy of mention is the growing use of postcards. The number that were both mailed and received here Christmas week was simply stu pendous On a single train the pack ages of postcards aggregated a stack over five feet high. They were sim ply handed by thousands. coming and going in tied out" packages, between cities

BRONCO" BRYAN AFTER
 CHAMPIONSHIP BELT
' Buster in the World for $1,000.

Through the columns of The Repub- lican Bert Bryan, who won the wild horse riding contest Christmas day and holds the championship belt for Ari- zona for bronco busting. issues chal- lenge for s1.0O0 a side to any rider of bucking broncos II" the world. The test as proposed by Bryan Is that each contestant shall ride twenty horses in a two days trial. ten horses being mounted each day.
 This challenge is particularly aimed at such well known riders as Brennan. ScovIll and George Miner. one of whom is supposed to be the present holder of the world championship belt made up of twenty dollar gold pieces. Bert Bryan wants this belt and Is willing to post sl.OO0 as a side bet and to show his good intentions.
 Bryan performed some rather mar velous feats at the bronco busting con- test at Eastlake park Christmas. In the wild horse event where each contestant is required to rope his horse and sad dle him Bryan saw that he was going to be beaten by that clever rider. Du- gan. Bryan had a saddle on his horse and a rope around his neck. He didn't wait for the hackamore but leaped on and subdued the animal without it and won the contest.
 The worst horse at the whole show was undoubtedly Wild Cat He is one of the worst horses ever seen in this part of the country and compares favorably with Steamboat for pure devilishness. Yet Bryan rode him without touching leather and held his spurs outward. While the horse was doing his best to dismount the rider Bryan waved his hat to the grand stand-a feat that looks easier than 1t is
 While Bryan hold the championship won at the last territorial fair. there were other men at the busting contest who showed themselves riders of met tie. Crews is undoubtedly a great rider. and Dugan is one of the most daring bronco busters in the world. Joe Isa- bell rode a sorrell that bucked hard and rode her well Tex Singleton has reputation all over the southwest Henry Isabell, q 16-year-old boy, did some clever riding for one so young, but he cant quite be counted in the same class with the other experts who have ridden in tournaments all over the country.
 Bryan has riden almost every bad horse in. Arizona and now wants a chance to ride Steamboat. He is will ing to bet $500 that he can ride Steam boat and whip her at every jump. and not be thrown.
