THE CLOSING OUT SALE
 OF THE BIS CUR|0 STORE
Goods Are Going Without Reference
 to Their First Cost.

It has been the annual practice of Balke's Big Curio store for several years to inaugurate closing out sale about the first of the year in prepara- tiOn for the immense stock of fresh goods with which it is always the such occasions there is great sac rifice of values, the main thing being to get rid of the goods. There is no thought of profit. This year the cut will be deeper than ever for the req son that it is the purpose of Mir. Bake to make a cleaner sweep than ever in the hope that by the early summer when he starts out on his collection trip. that is, his trip for the collection of a new stock. he will be sure of hav- ing plenty of room for it. These trips are long ones. frequently extending to Europe and always covering the north ern Indian reservations. beside the in dian tribes of Mexico and the leading markets of that country.
 It is the room therefore that the Big Curio store needs more than mon ey and it is determined to have if al the sacrifice of values Thus there is spread before the buyer an oppor tunity that he will not have again for year and the chances are that he as the present one.

THE COUNTY STRUGGLE
 FOR ROAD SUPERINTENDENT
The Appointment Will Be Made By
 the Supervisors on Monday

The road overseers of Arizona all passed away last night at midnight. They will be succeeded by County Superintendents of Roads," an office provided by the last legislature. the salary of the superintendents to be within the discretion of the super visors, not more than $500 year nor less than $500 a year. The law also requires that the superintendent shall devote his entire time to the duties of the office.
 An appointment will probably be made in this county next Monday There are two applicants, Thomas King. the veteran overseer and l.. M Acuff. Both filed their petitions yes- terday and between them they have secured the support by petition of almost every taxpayer in the county.
 The former is especially supported by the eastern part of the county. while the latter has presented an almost solid petition from the people in the western part of the county Phoenix is pretty we'll represented on both petitions.

pointed to secure a new minister and this committee finally succeeded in securing Elder Phillips. who has been pastor of the Christian church at Oxnard, Cal, for the past two years. Mir. Phillips comes highly recom- mended by Evangelist J. T. Stivers and others and bids fair to be a very strong factor in the ministerial force of the city.
 The following clipping from the Oxnard Daily Courier gives an idea of the man. It says:
 Mir. Phillips has been one of the most progressive and liberal minded ministers we have ever had in this city. He Is an interesting and excel lent speaker and his sermons, and in fact his every work, have been most uplifting and inspiring. and the news of his leaving comes as a great dis to all who knew him and expected to have him a permanent resident of this city and one who would ever work for the moral uplift and welfare of the city"
 MT. Phillips will begin his work here tomorrow. A cordial invitation is extended, to the public to come and hear him.

HARRY ]. BENNETT
 AND DR. r. 4. COOK
The Former Still Retains Confidence in the Latter and Refuses to Assent to the Verdict
 of Faker.

i Harry J. Bennett of this city. who : local person through whom an inti.
 mate friendly relationship could be es- I tablished between Arizona and Dr : Frederick A. Cook. in the days of tho ! latter's wide popularity. announces that he is still true to the doctor in
 the hour Of his diversity. MT. Ben nett says the doctor may be a faker
 but he will have to be shown before
 he will pull his idol down from it's pc
 destal Men who have been to the north pole are too scarce to be sac rificed hastily on the altar of public
 opinion.
 Mir. Bennett says that he is not a proper judge of the doctors exploits and his proofs have not been given to the public so it can judge even if
 he were. but he has had an intimate acquaintance with the doctor for 20 or thirty years and proposes to stand by his judgment of the mans stand ing unti he sees the testimony against him, or the doctor comes out sof hid- ing and tells his story. or in other words until he is forced to give him up. He calls attention to the fact that when Christopher Columbus discoyered America most of his friends went back on him and cried fake. and eventually the continent was named after some body else Moreover. when the Mas ter came to earth He was rejected by His own and large part of the earth will not yet admit his identity or re- spect his memory. wherefore he says it is only fair to reserve judgment for the time being.
 MT. Bennett would like to sec some of MT. Peary's proofs made public as well and says he believes that Admiral Schley was not at all unfair in making that demand. though of course what Peary did has nothing to do with Cooks exploits.
 MT Bennett knew Cook many years ago when he lived in Brooklyn with in half block of Cooks office. He was not then a famous person by any means but he was a reputable physi- elan with very creditable and prof itable practice. He was not then a married man, and even so early as those days he was greatly interested in exploring. Not long after his ac- quaintance pr. Cook invited him to accompany him on an antarctic expedi- ton and Mir. Bennett said he would have gone only that his wife refused to give her consent. He has followed the doctor ever since, through his ex- ploits as recounted in the papers and has world of confidence in him. He knows nothing more of his north pole expedition more than other readers know. but his unlimited confidence in the man will be displaced only when he has nothing further to pin his faith to.

THE WORK 0F \ YEAR,
 MOST SATISFACTORY
What Has Been Accomplished by the
 Southwestern Securities Co.

The Southwestern Securities com pany presents it's grateful greetings to the patriotic citizens of Arizona whose loyalty to a home institution allowed it to surpass in the last year the record in Arizona for insurance writing 800 in the Occidental Life Insurance company of Arizona and New Mexico When the returns for the year are in the company will be able to show q maximum business for the year in the two territories of two and half millions
 This sum was beyond the expecta- tions of the company at the beginning of the year. The management hardly expected the appreciation of home company and it's advantages to be SO prompt. It was thought longer campaign of education against outside powerful competition would be neces- sary.
 But the members of the company. the leading business men of both ter ritories. early commanded confidence and then citizens realized the advan- tage of keeping the money at home
 All the investments of the company have been made in the two territories: the Securities company has placed s140.000 in Arizona alone. the most of it in the Salt River valley.

NAT REISS AND THE "GLoBE'
 REPORTER

Although the sky was overclouded

 utes several times during the evening
 the big Nat Reiss carnival opened in
 Globe last night in all it's glory of bright banners. gIeaming colored lights. singing and dancing mnstrels and
 pretty girls, says the Globe of Globe.
 The Nat Reiss company IS known over the entire southwest as being the producers of shows that are morally clean and wholesome. No vulgarity is permitted to creep into any of the Reiss shows, something entirely foreign to most entertain ments of q similar nature. and a thing for which Mr Reiss should be given great credit
 The popularity of the Reiss Car nival company is as much due to the personality of Nat Reiss himself as 1t IS to the quality of the shows For the past eleven years MT Reiss has been coming through Arizona with his entertainers, playing the various larger cities of the territory. In every city in which he has showed MT. Reiss is well and favorably known to big majority of the lead ing citizens. Nat Reiss is one of those cheery. good natured individ- uals that does not know the mean ing of gloominess or pessimism. When asked today by a Globe" reporter how business was he responded with a hearty smile. Dandy, couldn't be better. At the time he asked the the reporter probably real ized that business was rotten, owing to the indictment weather, but never theless he went on his way feeling better towards the world and him self than before he had encountered the genial snowman.

COMMITTEE TO SUGGEST
UNIFORM LAWS,

At general meeting of the Fire de-
partment held Tuesday evening the
bills of the committee in charge of the
fremen banquet recently held were
allowed, and the report of the by
laws committee. appointed by the

that this was not a matter that could
be decided on by the general fire de-
partment. but by the companies
independently, as at the time of
organization Of each company it was
provided by the city council that
each would have the right to make
such bylaws as it deemed advisable.
It was thereupon decided to have
meeting of the foremen of each comp
any and the bylaws committee to act
together and draft bylaws with tho
new provision included, and then

MARCH SETTLEMENT

with the school apportlonment of g.

viii be enriched 81, 124.38.
The county revenue fund gets from
the settlement 50, ,760 ~, with outsrand-
ing warrants drawing interest, OF
So, 977.O5. With these outstanding
orders taken up to March 9th in
elusive, there would be on this date
in the revenue fund $3783. e., Hcw-
ever, as at the last commissioners meet
ing there were bills allowed to the
amount of about 81, 900, and with the
present court expenses, before the end
of next week, it will again be
necessary to register orders that
draw the usual interest, and then
there are the bills to be paid each
month, and the next settlement eight
months away.
It should also be considered that the
settlements have been exceedingly
large, the one last fall being the
largest in the history of the county.
Also the fact tnat there is higher
valuation and that the present re-
publican board of county COM
missioners raised the county revenue
tax from three and 72-1OO mills to
five mills, which figures in the 1908
tax.
AS our worthy contemporary, the
Transcript, says, there was a balance
IN the revenue fund at settlement
time. How odd? There always has
been. If there was no balance at this
particular time, there certainly never
would be one.
This particular matter might not
have been taken up, at least at this
time, but as 1T seems SO striking to
the Transcript that there should be
such q thing as balance IN the
revenue fund at any time. with a
republican board of county com.
missloners, we thought we might
mention the fact also. They have,
however, overlooked the fact that
county revenue warrants have been
almost continuously registered and
drawing the usual interest, during the
reign OF the present board.
We quote from the Transcript III
referring to the revenue fund 1T
may also be interesting to note that
the county board is Of q republican
complexion.
