Fire insurance rates in E, Paso, what
they are and what they can be, were
discussed yesterday afternoon at a
meeting of business men in the cham
Der of commerce. As an upshOt of the
discussion, the city governors will be
petitioned TO Immediately make certain
improvements which, with the water
plant operations will reduce the present
rate by % cents, one-half of the pres

in charge for the chamber of com

has been a reader response from sal
AIRED men than from the men en-
gagged in business here-the men who
ought, to be more deeply concerned in
having a correct census than any 9TH

About 700 men were asked to take
this volunteer census and over 800 men
nave made no response. Many have
replied that they did not have the
time, but have not offered to hire a
substitute for the work.
Mr. Clayton hopes that all who have
been appointed will either get out and
get the census at once or commune
cate with him so that he can make
arrangements to cover their blocks.

Mr. Stevens argued that FL Paso lost
from the uniformity Of shingle roofs on
her residences. Mr.. Stevens estimated
the total premiums of the city at $780,
600, sum at first doubted by Mr.. Coles
The Adobe Section
An idea was advanced by Mr. Stevens
which may be used to force the rate
down. Figuring $4,000 residents In the
adobe section near the river where fire

Initiation rs So
1t was decided to hold a meeting
once each week. on Friday night
though Mr.. Coblentz said some of the
members might want to attend the
synagog on that night However. it
was decided to hold the meetings. on
that night and this will be changed
later if found advisable.
Myrtil Coblentz objected to the
naming Of only five directors on the
ground that all trades could not be
represented and wanted from seven to
nine directors. However, w. ]. Buie
explained that a large board would not
be as satisfactory as all the members
would not attend meetings, so those
present decided to have only five d.
rectors.-
Coblentz suggested that the matter

the next meeting. but Maurice Schwartz
expressed the opinion that the fnitia-
monthly dues be determined at later
meeting.
Liquor Dealers Barred.
Mr.. Silberberg made a motion that
hotel and rooming house proprietors,
restaurant and professional men. be ac-
copied as members of the association,
and though it was stated in the con-
stftution that liquor men be not ad-
mitted to membership he asked that
wholesalers be permitted to join.
However, this met with strenuous
opposition and while it was decided to
accept all others proposed, the mem
bers would not listen to any PROPOSE
ton to have liquor men come In.
Shortly thereafter Robert Silberberg
made a motion that no one who was
not or does not become a member of

gible to membership and this carried
after some objection had been entered
by j. c. Ballard. who said they had

United States, is strict disciplinarian
in the navy. But he is obeyed willing

an order which he would not himself
obey. When the Olga was in north

hands to battle. The captain gently
limited that the water was bitterly
cold and the command little too Sc

the sea, swan about for some time
and then climbed aboard. Approach
ing the uncomfortable captain, he ask
ed, ''Do you still think it is too cold?"
The order was given, and instead of
changing his clothes the prince stood
by smiling and calmly watching the
men obeying his command Chicago

: He Wanted the Limit.

Almost any flippant lawyer in the
United States will lose his nerve when
he faces the supreme court. The air
Is full Of dignity, and the bar Of the
court behind which sit the black robed
and venerable jurists Is about as In
viting as the tomb to most Of the
young lawyers who appear in their
first case.
Not so with a youngster who ap-
peared a few days ago. The court has
rule which fixes two hours for oral
argument and is reluctant to grant
more time. The novice asked for ad-
ditional time for his speech.
"How much time does the learned
counsel want?' asked Chief Justice
Fuller in his shrill voice.
"Just as much time as you folks
will give u.s." answered the lawyer,
leaning forward in a confidential way.
Everybody laughed except the black
robed justice.-New York World.

General Noix, custodian OF the mu-

some say that it was in part suggest

gold bees and diagonal scarlet stripe.
The staff carries a white and scarlet

Napoleon does not seem to have used

the isle of Elba, where he was de-

sandy region without vegetation or inhabi-
tdhts' Is defective, and the idea that it Is nee
essarlIy nat is erroneous. Most portions Of
the average desert bear an extensive, though
somewhat widely spaced, fora. Many desert
regions contain numerous settlements, the Sa-
nara desert for instance having a population
OF z~,5O0,0OO. Loose sand is a minor feature,
and much more prevalent on the seacoasts and
along the bottom lands Of rivers. There are
Wide areas of bare rocks, and the larger des-
erts include mountains, ridges, mesas and deep
canyons.
The deserts of the southwest are regions
Oh very scanty rainfall, parts Of them having
only three inches a year and evaporation of
eighty inches or more.
This canyon is the miledeep gorge cut by
the Colorado river across the high plateau of
northern Arizona. The view from the rim
reveals the most %stupendous panorama imag-
Unable, for one sees into an area Of about GOO
square miles filled with an endless variety of
most rugged topographic forms Of many beau
tiful colors. On the skyline, ten to fifteen
miles away, is the edge of a widereaching pla-
teau, and In the middle ground of the picture
flows the Colorado river, nearly a mile below
ones feet.
The features are so gigantic and so plainly
in view that all sense of scale is lost, and 1t is
not until one has been down to the bottom OF
the canyon at the river level that any adequate
sense of proportion can be gained.
The canyon was discovered by Cardenas,
who went to its edge in 1910 on a branch trip
from Coronado,s expedition, on Information OBJ
tanned by Tovar from the Hopi Indians. The
original name given to the river was Tison,
Spanish for firebrand, and it is to be regretted
that the name has not been retained to avoid
the present confusion due to the river having
the same name as the state.
Coon butte, another Of the greatest wonders
in our country, is also situated in the south
west, but owing to Its distance from the rail-
road 1t is seldom visited. 1t is a great crater
like bowl in the plateau, about ten miles south
Of Canyon Diablo station. THE crater is
