The songs and reel tstions were also we'll received and 
 Much credit is due the Misses Thorn ton and McIherson, whose classes showed evidence of painstaking drill and practice.

Arizonans Want
 Lower Rates

The AriLana Brewing company of Prescott has made formal complaint through Attorney Andrews, tc the in- tersta.e commerce commission st Was hington, alleging that the freight rate of Sl.43 per l00 pounds on malt from Milwaukee is unjust and exces- sye, and claims that 65 cents IS a just and reasonable rate. They ask for repsration on past shipments to this bsss.
 Henry T Andrews of Prescott, at- torneys for petition, was an interested attendant at the Commercial club's hearing at Phoenix last March, and offered macy valuable suggestions. In this complaint the brewing com pGny has asked for the California ;n- tsrmediste rate. and they will un- doubtedly get it.
 An interesting complaint in more ways than one is that of the Copper Queen oi Bisbee, wherein they sIiege that the rate on cast iron pipe of sl.76i from AnnistOn, Ala, to Bisbee, .s excessive and should not exceed S3.7 per 100.
 The company claims that the rate from Alabama to St. Louis is l5 cents, St. Louis to E. PasU j3t cents, and Fl Paso to Bisbee l5.2 ceuts, making tine through rate as alleged; they ask for refund of $4s20l, This ID sn indication of the relations between the E. P. & s. W. and the Southern Ps- cifc, the former interests owning the Copper Queen.
