The other members of the party showed
a determination to regard Peary Wishes
about not discussing the COOK cohtro-

Still clad in the rough clothes worn on
the Arctic trip, although his furs had

 Since the first of October they have had band of prisoners work ing and have gotten rid of nearly all the filth and vermin. another great improvement.
 since the first of October wounds of patients are dressed more ire quently and the old style of leaving the same bandages and dressings for a week or more at time has been abandoned.
 "As to the fact l stated Of children here: On this point the doctor must be mistaken. as three of the children here have parents living in Tomb stone and l have 1t from the chiI, dren's own mouths that they are working, and there are many able bodied men here who should not be allowed to live off the county, two of whom have been doing the cook ling in the past, and if they are able to work here they must be able to work elsewhere. The improvement is great but the fact that so much had to be done and that conditions ever existed a9 they were last sun, mer should forever condemn the con tract system"

CARPENTER STILL Is
 AGIIAIING PROHIBITION

DOUGLAS, Oct. 27.-(SpeciaI)-
 That the Rev. A. B. Carpenter, for merIy pastor of the Christian church a5re, is not abating his activity i1 cne cause of prohibition witch he es- pcused is evidenced by the columns of the Prescott Courier. He has talk ss up the cudgels in Prescott with sn ardor quite equal to that which he showed hero.
 MT. Carpenter a short time since wrote a letter to the Courier on the liquor question which was printed and called forth an editorial to the effect that at this time it was bet ter to let things alone. Replying to this My. Carpenter wrote again and from the tone of the letter the editor judged that he did not expect the paper to publish the letter, but this reply was published in the editorial columns of the Courier side by side with the editors answer to the sec ond letter. Since then no further correspondence has appeared, but those who know MT. Carpenter are certain that he will not drop the sub iect, but will keep up his agitation.
 When in Douglas he was one of the hardest workers fir prohibition and was one of the first to start the cir culation of a petition for a local op- tion election.

 ATTORNEYS TOGETHER

PHoENN, Oct. 27.-District Attor- ney Bullard today received a letter from District Attorney John s. Will Jams of Cochise county. in which the latter suggests that all the dis triet attorneys of Arizona meet in Phoenix on November 8, during the sessin of the supreme court, for the purpose of forming an association. Williams points out that an organiza- ton of this kind would prove of value and assistance to district attorneys, and would result in more uniform en- forcement of the stetutes. One of his suggestions IS that the organiza- tion form a committee to recommend new laws to legislatures, amendment of some and repeal of others that are of no value or do not bring the re- suit intended.

CAL. LEMON MEN AND ROADS IN
 FIGHT

WASHINGTON. D, C.. Oct. 27.- The California lemon growers and the railroads are fighting over Aid rich tariff revision plunder.
 Congress increased the duty on lem ons oue-half cent a pound notwith- standing that the California fruit had virtually driven the Italian lemons out of the market under the old Ding ley rate.
 Now comes the railroads with Is cent increase of freight on lemons.
 If everyone else is going to gouge.1 say the railroads, we want our slice, too.'
 The railroads do not regard .this boosting of rates as harmful to the lemon growers. Their position is that they are simply taking advantage of the generosity of congress in giving increased prosperity and protection to American industries. They say that the freight rate on lemons has been entirely too low and was given originally to help the struggling lem on growers on the Pacific coast. Now that the lemon growers have quit struggling and are buying automo- piles, and have received the bonus ot 50 cents a hundred from congress, why it is about time that the rail. roads were doing something.
 For several years the lemon rate was 15 cents lower than the rate on oranges. grapefruit and lines. Now with the advance of freight rates, the railroads declare the lemon growers have no grounds for complaint. All that it is necessary to do is to in crease the cost of the lemons to the consumer 50 cents on every 100 pounds, the amount of the upward re, vision of the tariff. The railroads say they are only asking for Is cents of the 50 cents, leaving the lemon growers the remaining 35 cents. In the opinion of the railroads, the grow CTS are lucky to receive that amount of increased profit.
 It is safe to predict, however, that the lemon consumer will in the end ba gouged Dy both railroad and grow. CT. The fruit growers will raise their prices, and the freight rates will go up. and in the end both advances must be met by the consumer.
 The lemon situation is only one of many peculiar ones that are follow ing in the wake of the Republican party's famous tariff revision.
 Relative to lumber, for instance, th- country has not yet fully appreciated what the tariff jugglers did to that schedule The average value of lum Der imported from Canada is s1S.74 per thousand feet The maximum prvision of the Payne law pro yide: for an automatic increase of 25 pel cent ad valorem on March 31, 1910 This would amount to s4.6S per thou sand, which, added to the Payn, schedule of SIPS a thousand. would make a total of s5.95 a thousand ol lumber imported from Canada, or al increase of s3.93 over the DingIe rates.
