Pleasing Announcement of the Sheep
 Sanitary Board. 70"

The sheep sanitary commission held a quite important meeting and cer- tainly a very pleasant one from the nature of the work accomplished, on Tuesday. James Scott, chairman, H; J. Gray. member, and Dr. J. C. Norton, territorial veterinarian. of the. com mission, were present and in addition Dr. NJ lines. of Albuquerque. in charge of federal sheep inspection in New Mexico and Arizona, and Dr. Harmon in charge of the inspection in Ari- zona. under pr. Imes. The gentlemen discussed the results of the general dipping of sheep last fall and of the inspection on the range since then. The conditions were found to be so satisfactory that the com mission decided that the government quarantine on Arizona sheep on ac- count of sheep scabies, should be re- moved from the entire territory ex- eept Apache and Navajo counties. The facts were reported to pr. A. D. Melvin. chief of the bureau of animal industry. in Washington. and it is be- lieved he will approve the recommen- dation to that effect. If that is done it will mean that hereafter practically all the sheep shipped from the terri tory may be moved without the trou- ble and expense of inspection.
 Nearly all the sheep men have been very loyal to the commission in assist ing in the good work of cleaning the flocks of scabies and it is quite easy to see why both the sheep men and the commission will be concerned in the vigorous handling of any infection that might develop at any time here after. once cleaned up it is to the general interest of the sheep owners to keep their flocks clean The only band of infected sheep in ths terri. tory now. is under guard at, an seE : pense of 8 per day to the owner urfii it is pronounced free from infectfpn. It is expected. of course. that there will be occasional dipping at the proper season. but it is not likely that the sheep generally will ever be al- lowed to get into the former undesir- able condition which. the board has entirely changed by long and expen- sive and persistent work.
 Having been freed from infection the sheep owners will be saved from the expense of general dipping. which it is estimated has in the past cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Other benefits that may be expected from new conditions are a better grade of sheep. better quality of wool. a heavier annual lamb crop There will also be obviated the an noyance Of having to wait for inspec- tion every time one wants to ship a consignment of sheep. Altogether the sheep men now have the same cause for rejoicing that the cattlemen had when the announcement was made that the territory was practically freed from the ravages of the Texas fever tick -

We want every citizen who has the wei. fare of Phoenix at heart to read this ad vertisement and others which will follow it.
 Unjustly and unwisely, we believe, movement has been started to plunge the city heavily in debt in order to establish municipal electric plant This movement affects LIS just as pleas antly as 1t would affect you if the city government threatened to compete with YOUR business, or to supply a man to compete for YOUR job-all with the idea of driving YOU out of the city. no mat ter how much the city lost financially in gaining its object.
 We have just as much selfish interest opposing the municipal electric plant bonds as you would have fighting an at tempt to take away from you what you honestly own and make an honestliving from $-.r-
 We intend to oppose the municipal elec= tric plant bonds by presenting our side of the case to the people. A moderate amount of space will be bought in the daily news papers to accomplish this purpose frankly and openly.
 Up to the present time the other side has had the advantage of all the publicity. The public has heard arguments of only ONE KIND.
 For several years the Pacific Gas < Electric Company has been attacked with statements and charges based almost en- tlrely upon transformation. The com pany has said little in reply simply be- cause it disliked to engage in newspaper controversy
 During this period the company has put forth every reasonable effort to inn prove and extend it's property, and to serve the people at the lowest possible cost

Announcement, <

Knowing very we'll that the growth and prosperity of Phoenix; and vicinity means it's own growth and prosperity, or vice versa, the company steadily has fol lowed a policy of doing everything in it's power to build up the community.
 It IS easy to attack public utility cor pOration. This is due largely to the fact that utility organizations usually operate without direct competition in obedience to simple natural laws over which the cor poratiOns have no more control than you have.
 It is child's play to originate gossip in- furious to utility company. And when the company answers criticism. people are warned not to believe what it says be- cause it is self-interested. >
 A company such as ours has only one protection against ruin but this is source of powerful strength It consists of the fairness of the American people.
 Our campaign of publicity will be directed to that sense of fairness and justice.
 The record of the Pacific Gas & Electric Company has been without dishOnOrable blemish. It shall remain so as long as it IS operated by its present owners. We do not believe that it is necessary tO become a corrupting influence in order to do bus. mess.
 .s We have tried to give every one the squarest kind of a square deal. We are doing this now and shall continue to do it sat all times. alg .ae What is to- be said in our advertise ments will be the truth as we know it, and facts collected and compiled with the : greatest care.
 We ask you to read our statements with an open mind; then to form your own conclusions.

CYCLISTS WERE ASLEEP
BY SIDE OF The ROAD

Metuchen, Sept. IA trolley
crew reported to Marshal Fouratt, of
Metuchen, about midnight Tuesday
night, that three masked men were
lying along the Amboy road near
Fords. They suspected that the men
were waiting for belated automobile
parties. Marshal Fouratt took some
officers with him and went after the
supposed highwaymen.
They found three young men at
2 A. M. trying to spend the night
sleeping alongside the roadway. They
had handkerchief spread over their
faces. All had bicycles and claimed
to be on q vacation wheeling trip
across New Jersey.
They were locked up for the night
and Wednesday morning were ar
RAGGED before Recorder c.. G. Weber.

Miller, of 1341 First ayenue; Peter
Mazanack, of 300 East Seventy-first
street, and Joseph Lucas, of 349
East Seventy-irst street, all of New
York.

handkepohiefs over their faces to
protect themselves from Jersey mos
quitoes, Of which they had read
much.

MINISTERRUNS
IN SOUTH RIVER
Rev. w. ]. Kern of German
Presbyterian Church for
Nomination for Council.
ON REPUBLICAN TICKET

South River, Sept. Political
sensations are the rule rather than
the exception In South River, but the
candidacy of the Rev. William ].
Kern, pastor Of the German Presby-
terrain church, for the Office of coun-
Gilman on the republican ticket. has
created considerable comment.
Dominic Kern has always been re-
garded as a strong democrat. That
is one reason of the surprise. An
other lies In the fact that although
Rev Mr. Kern has been a member of
the Board of Education, 1t was not
thought that he was interested en-
ough in politics to make the race for
councilman.
These facts, taken in connection
with other phases of the political sit
uatfon In the borough, have called
forth much conjectural comment.
Rev. Mr.. Kern's nomination is
largely, If not entirely due to the ac-
t~ivities of John Daley" said a prom
inent democrat. John Whiteman,
who is the democratic candidate for
reelection, with Wilbur Rose, is@the
man he is being run against. Dali
ey's ambition is to retire Charles An
derson from politics. If he is able to
down Whiteman, he will stand a bet
ter chance. So Mr.. Kern is putaup
to oppose Whiteman. Being a dem
ocrat, it Is hoped that enough votes
can be secured for him by cutting
Whiteman tt insure his election. Be
ing the republican nominee, he will
get the republican vote, too.
"Whiteman is the man they are
after, and 1t is hoped hat the dem
ocrats will cut him for Mr.. Kern. and
then cut the rest of the republican
ticket"
At any rate, politics in the Dor
ough are beginning to sizzle and the
fight at the polls promises to be a
warm one.

the construction Of a canal over the

authorized to appoint appraisers to
estimate the value of this land thus
to be taken, that the legislature at
its next session may have before 1t
the probable cost of such a canal. IL
this project should be contaminated,
we should have a complete inland

It's value to New York and our state

we have all negleced our opportuni-

land waterways too long. The cost
of doing it Is not great, and the great
gain hat will come from opening

Our people are awakening to the
