Corporations in Opposition

One Of the causes OF excitement
among railrbad men is the report that
Taft intends 10 urge in his message
the passage OF the federal incorpora-
tion law. Il was said today that at
torneys for the interests under the
control OF J. Pierpont Morgan had
framed a federal corporation act Of
their own which may be introduced
tnto congress in opposition to the ad-
rninistration measure.
Taft. is aware OF the nature OF this
outside bill. but has refused to ap-
prove it. insisting on urging the pas
sage OF the administration measure.
which IS more radical than the one
desired by the corporations.
To none Of the gloomy predictions
from Wall street is the president pay
ing the slightest attention Some Of
the letters received predict dire hap

law on this or the next congress.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS
 FOR THE PRESENT YEAR
Thouqh Without an Official Head They Will Be Given Proper
 Encouragement.

For the first time in several years athletics in the high school are with out a head, though it is not meant by the high school board and authorities that athletics shall be ignored or shall not receive proper encouragement.
 Under the efficient direction of Pro- lessor Claude Jones several years ago there was a great awakening in this matter and he has been at the head of high school athletics until now.
 A year ago he asked, on account of his growing duties, which were com ing to consume all of his time, to be relieved of the position of director Of athletics, but he was persuaded to re- tain that position.
 At the beginning of the present year his reasons of the year before for wish ing to be relieved were strengthened and his request to retire from the direction of school athletics was granted with out any arrangement being made for a successor.
 The fact that he is no longer in charge of this branch is said to account for the circulation of a subscription the other day for the football team. There is no criticism of that way of raising the needed money, for money is needed if football is to have sue cessful start at the beginning of the season.
 But under the management of Pro- lessor Johnes money was raised in different way, though doubtless 1t was the same to the contributors. Instead of being asked to subscribe lump sum as at present, they were asked to buy tickets to games and exhibitions. They did so as liberally as they have just subscribed to the present needs of the football team, though perhaps many of them never availed themselves of the privileges they had bought.

TO HOLD NIGHT GLASSES
 IN THE HIGH SCHOOL
Professor Michael and Others to Give Instruction in Commercial
 Branches.

Offering tuition in penmanship, shorthand, bookkeeping, typewriting, arithmetic, spelling and English, even ing classes will be organized at the high school commercial department, beginning october. 10 and continuing three nights each week for :he ensu- ing six months. These classes will be in charge of members of the high school faculty under the leadership of Professor c. L. Michael. principal of the commercial department of the high school.
 It is planned to enroll such pupils as are unable to attend the regular ses sions of the high school and who are desirious of perfecting themselves In any or all of the branches taught. The sessions will be held on Monday. Wed nesday and Friday evenings. Pupils of the high school. desirious of taking ad- vance work will also be admitted and their work will secure extra counts for them, the classes being under the ap- proval of the trustees and school fac ulty.
 During the early months of the sum mer period and following the closing of the high school, evening classes were held in the commercial department un- der the direction of Professors Jones and Christy. It is likely that Profes- sor Christy will again be Identified with the work. The attendance at the summer night school was very grati- flying and it is believed that no small number of pupils will be found enrolled at the opening of this school on Octo- Der 10.
 All prospective pupils can see Pro- lessor Michael at the commercial de- partment of the high school after 2:30 D. m. on any school day, or can find him at 62S North Third avenue any evening.

EDUCATIONAL PROJECT
 FOR THE SOUTHWEST
Presbyterians Plan for Interdenomina-
 tionaI College.

The Synod of New Mexico of the Presbyterian church, embracing New Mexico and Arizona, has just adjourned after it's annual meeting, held at Las Vegas, N. NJ, this year. The synod voted to close with the offer of the Santa Fe Railroad company to take over the Montezuma Hot Springs hotel property and convert the same into a college. This valuable property, which cost the Santa Fe over million dol lors, but is now offered for this pur- pose upon condition that a successful college be established with 300 students within the next five years.
 The synod accepting this most liber- al offer, has elected board of trustees to organize a Christian college upon an interdenominational basis and in- vite other denominations in the two territories to cooperate in the enter prise. Rev. John R. Gass, D. D., of Albuquerque, N. M, is president of the new board and financial secretary. He expects to visit Phoenix next week in the interest of the institution. Rev. H. M. Campbell, DID,, MT. w. J. Murphy and Rev. F. c. Reid, all of Phoenix, are members of the new board. It is to be hoped that the new institution may be successfully launched. IS it will supply a much needed agency in the advancement of the southwest.

ENVY THE BACHELOR GIRL.
Conditions Have Changed and She Is
 No Longer Looked On With Pity.

Not so very long ago the married woman looked down with pity upon her unmarried friend as she gave en- tertainments and went to balls and theater parties and had a good time generally while the unmarried one stayed at home. Now things have grown so much in the favor of the single woman that her married friend often envies her liberty, her youth full appearance, caused by the ab- sence of household cares, and, above all, her income, which she can spend as she wills without asking any ones permission. And indeed there are worse things than being a bachelor girl nowadays. Women are firmly es- tablished in the business world, and they are beginning to be paid large salaries, which would satisfy many a man. They can go almost anywhere without an escort-to the theater, to dinner at many of the restaurants and to nearly every kind of evening affair.
 The prosperous, clever bachelor girl is in as great demand as the bachelor man for week ends. She is much more entertaining than the stay-at- home girl, and her bright ways and smart costumes make her a danger ous rival for the married flirt, who has had things her own way for so long.
 Last and not least, she is able to lay aside money for her old age, which many a married woman worries over, and perhaps buy home in the country which may be hers no matter what befalls.-Boston Herald.

GAS STOVE WRINKLES.
The New Way to Bake Apples and
 Potatoes-TroubIe Savers.

"The visit I had the other day l from the gas stove demonstratOr up- set all my respectable ideas about ] cooking" said an old fashioned house keeper who'd just invested in a gas ] range. T was baking a pan of ap- pies when she came in and the first thing she said was:
 Baking apples in the oven, suppose?
 Then she began to tell me how much gas I'd have saved and how much better looking the apples would have been if I'd just put them in a little stew pan on top of the stove with little water and sugar and pasted them every little while with the syrup until they were tender. Ap- pies in bloom, she called them, and when I tried them the next day they were mighty good. Each apple was as pretty as a picture. and while I can't say that they tasted any better it certainly took a lot less time and probably saved gas too.
 she began on potatoes next. She stuck a metal plate over one of the burners on the range. clapped round cake tin down over it to see if it fit ted and then put a couple of pota- toes to bake in this outlandish way on top of the stove. By the time she'd finished showing me the latest kinks about roasting and broiling those potatoes were done to a turn and just broke open as tender and soft as a freshly baked biscuit.
 ..l.~ roasting a small piece of meat in the lower oven, or what I always called the broiler. I might just as we'll save gas by cooking something in the oven right above, which was heated by the same row of gas burners. l thought she meant a pudding or a pie, but she explained that she meant boiling vegetables-not onions or cauliflower or cabbage, but anything that didn't have strong Odor. She told me to start the cooking on top of the stove, and when. the water was boiling nice ly just to pop the whole thing into the oven.
 Then she showed me a tricky lit tie tin oven that looked like a band box. She set it down on top of the range and stood off and looked at it as child would look at a new doll
 This she says, this little oven saves your gas and keeps your kitch- en cool in summer
 Then sine went on to tell me how could bake bread and pies there at ever so much less cost for gas, and that it would almost always take the place of the big oven. When 1t wasn't muse it could stand on the table or on a shelf and l could keep pies and cake or biscuit in it.
 She told me how to save myself the bother of using the big broiler that comes with the gas range and how when I wanted only a couple of chops or small steak II could use small toaster with a little baking pan underneath to catch the drip pings. The little toaster rests right on the baking pan.
 Her topsy turvey style of doing things is quicker and easier than my old way. and now that I've tried the different things she told me and found each of them worked we'll I'm hoping she'll come again"
