The Women to Blame.

Santa Barbara, Cal, High
prices of food are due as much
to the extravaganza of American
women, as to the avarice of the
tariff-protected trusts, according
to E. P. Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe railroad. Mr.. Ripley
has just issued a commentary on
the present wides spread strike
against high priced meat, in
which he beneficial result of
teaching wasteful housewives a
in economy.
"The general increase of wages
and the rapid increase of money
circulation are among the causes
of high prices" said Mr.. Ripley
a." but extravaganza is the para
mount issue. Most housewives
pay three or four times as much
for foods done up in fancy pack
ages as for the same foods with
out the trills. And they won't
go to a store or market if they
can have telephone. The tele-
phone adds to the cost of living
for thousands and so ten per
cent which the grocer has to add
to his prices to cover the cost OF
delivery, This is q land of great
wealth, which has been develop
ed in excess of the needs of the
people, and 4 halt is inevitable,

High Rall' Signal Passes.

In the future or as soon as the
Santa Fe examining committees,
now employed in instilling new
rules and signals into the oper-
ating department, men all over
the system, have finished their
work, the old "high ball." famil-
.4r all over America as the ego
ahead" or get out of town" sign,
will pass into oblivion. 1t will
be followed by every other rail
road signal on the Santa Fesave
the one calling on the engineer
to back the train. The examin-
ing board is fast finishing it's
work and will take to the road
soon to instill station men and
operators and every one who has
a hand in the operation of trains
except the girls who go to the
depots to see the travelling men,
the new sign code. 1t is extern
sive, and will have the effect of
keeping the railroad men awake.
while some of the new signals
are not as definite as the old ones
they are to replace, yet they
must go. The Santa Fe must do
something that is different from
any other road. The signal to
to take the place of the high
ball" has the appearance of a
hungry grammar school boy
who is SO hungry that he can't
talk signing to his mother for
a doughnut, The stop signal
might be taken for the first feeble
effort Of a youthful law graduate
at gesticulution.

Comet Not Halley's.

Flagstaff, Ariz., Jan. 22.-The
luminous body now visible to OBJ
servers IN various parts of tie
country is a new comet. 1t IS
known as Comet A of 1910"
1t closely resembles the great
comet OF 1889.
The new celestial body was re-
ported by DR.. a. T. Innes of tile
observatory of johannesburg,
South Africa, on January 16.
An analysis of the photograph
observations made here shows
that the new body differs greatly
from comets in general.
The usual comet consists of
very bright series of hvdrocarbon
bands, but the comet now visible
shows very light hydrocarbon
bands with a pair of intensely
bright sodium lines. The strik
ing orange color of the comt t
head, as observed in various
parts of the country. is said to
be due to iucandescent sodium

Big Cattle Deal.

During the present week the \
Bar Cattle company of the Vredc
valley has closed the purchase OF
several hundred head of cattle
and considerable land and water
rights on Oak Creek. In several
instances the deeds show the &C
tual number of animals taken
over, while in others the number
is not given. Those who have
sold and turned their cattle over
are M. c. Smith, Thomas w.
Henderson, August Thorbecke,

ME L. Smith, Carrie Thorbeckc

pie will run into the thousands
of dollars and the consolidation
of the herds under one manage
ment is the largest transaction
of its kind to take place in this
county in recent years. The com
pany is under the management
of Gus Thorbecke of Jerome, and
in speaking of the merger he
writes to this city that his firm
is deslrous of buying any number
of cattle, and will be pleased tc

Phoenix Wants Sewer.

A municipal sewer election will
be held in Phoenix early in March,
the exact date not having been
decided.
At the council session Saturday
night a most important step was
taken when the city attorney
was informally instructed to
draw up the election call and
present it at the next meeting
Attorney Prescott stated that he
will have it ready in three or four
days, ano it is possible that it
may be passed at a special session
instead of at the regular meeting
on February 7.
Under the law, the call meeting
must be published thirty days, SO
that 1T will probably take place
about thirty five days after being
adopted by the council. The sum
that will be named in the call is
100000, which 1T is estimated
will be sufficient to build an ade-
quate sewer to meet the needs of
a city of 100000 population
The plans of Olmstead & Gllle-
land were accepted by the coun-
Gil Saturday night and the sew
erage system will be laid and
completed within the next twelve
months, barring unforeseen OBJ
stacles.
The bond election will unques
tionably carry, for sentiment is
unanimously in favor of this pub
lie necessity. The progressive ac-
tion of the council will find few
dissenters. A great part of the
100000 will be turned loose
right in Phoenix, and laborers.
merchants and all classes will de
rive some financial benefit there
from.
The council INDUCED in some
discussion whether the sewer
should be built by bond issue, or
by special assessment. Long term
bond issue, with a provision for
a sinking fund to pay off the
same, appeared to be the best
plan. The burden will not fall so
directly and heavily on the tax
payer as in a case where the
lump sum was paid by assess
ment of the property.-Phoenix
