The Fundamental Things.

And first of all, let us get exact con-
successful community Ire. Let us re-
cognize at the outset the materialistic
impulses which convert isolated coun-
try homes into compact communities.
1t has always been true, | suppose
it always will be true that men leave
the rural solitude and mass them
selves into community life in order to
make money and enjoy the power it
gives. Industry and commerce are
the primary factors, even as they are
the conspicuous outcome of the city
building impulse. And yet the mater
ial side of town life or city life is not
all. May | repeat to you the defni-
ton of city which has just been CIV

sufficient for increase, secure in the
safeguards of order and Justice,
equipped with the means not only of
material but of social and spiritual
advancement and great enough in it.

Cooperation Makes Plan Workable.

THE objection of unwieldiness is
sure to be urged against such a plan
as this. Is it conceivable that all these
different bodies, so diverse in their
aims, so multtudinous in their mem
bership, can ever really work togeth-
err 1t may be admitted that not all
of them will try to do this, at least
until the workableness of the plan has
been demonstrated by portions of the
multitude. 1t is important to remem-
Der that there is absolutely no COM
pulsion upon these different bodies to
work together. Each association and
agency will go on with its distinctive
work with the same autonomy which
it has ever possessed; but whenever
it finds it's work hampered and its
efforts thwarted by adverse conditions
it is able to look toward some of its
neighbors and associates in Boston
1915. and seek help through cooper
alton which may turn its defeats into
victories

 Sixth: That individual members and Councils throughout the Order be permitted to make contributions in any sum they may see fit, not less than S25O.OO from the subordinate councils and any amount from the individual members, for the purpose of establishing a room at the sana- torium.
 Seventh: ItNis the further sense of this Committee that all Catholics ! throughout the United States who are now affiliated with this great Order as members and who may be charit- ably disposed, desiring to affiliate with this Catholic order in stamping out the dread disease of tuberculosis. be permitted to make donations in any sum that they may desire.

In sunshine and dry. pure air the germ of this disease cannot survive. It follows that where we find the most sunshine, the least amount of humidity and a mild. tenn perate climate. that is the ideal spot for a tubercular sanitorium.

GOING OUT OF THE
 RETAIL BUSINESS
Mont Anderson Says He Has Made Blooming Success of the Buck
 eye Lumber Yard.

Mont Anderson, better known as the Buckeye Lumber company, for he is the whole company and always has been, has created some surprise among his friends, and others who may be described as those who don't care a cent, by announcing that he is going out of the retail lumber business. \ display advertisement to that effect will be found elsewhere in this issue Mir. Anderson has been the champion Of low prices on lumber in this com munity, the defender of square deaI- ing and small profits. True to the code he has worked by he is announc- ing reductions again all along the line, during his closing out sale During the last year or so he has been engaged in the milling business in the vicinity of Flagstaff, has a goodly quantity of good Arizona lumber on hand and wants to dispose of it through the Buckeye yard and to do so will carry a complete stock of such lumber as he does not make himself and will fix attractive prices on all lines during the sale.
 Mir. Anderson desires to make a lit tie statement in connection with this latest move. There has been a lot of serious head shaking in the last year about his milling proposition. Friends, brethren and those in the don't care class have been fearful of his ven ture and Iave circulated the awful suspicion at he was going broke Some did perhaps in spirit of mal ice. more of them honestly -but-thought- lessly. Meantime he has said nothing. Perhaps he will go broke sometime; he says he has been broke before and it is a poor man that can't do again what he has once accomplished. But just at this time he rises to remark that instead of going broke he has made a nice little cleanup. He start ed his Phoenix yard in September three years ago with a capital of $2,400 and a skin full of sand. Recently he has made a careful inventory of his business and property and finds he has good marketable assets totalling $41, 900, against which are liabilities to- talling $11,500, a rough but conserva tive balance showing him S29,500 to the good, or for three years work, de- ducting his original capital, net prof fit of $25,500.
 MT. Anderson does not give these fig ures boastingly; would in fact prefer to keep the information to himself only that he feels just wee bit of pride in showing that his business has not run down at the heel as many pre- dicted it would But the main reason he makes this information public is to show that there is at least decent prof A. the boards are sold at less than the combination prices that always ob- tained hereabout before he injected himself into the local field.

 If it is a question of altitude, here one finds surprising diversity: Flag staff, about 1000 feet, at the foot of the snow-tipped San Francisco Noun tains in the north, surrounded by one of the largest pine forests in the nation; Prescott, 5,200 feet above sea level, in the midst of pine, oak and cedar and environed with ozone laden atmosphere; or Phoenix, the capital of the territory. 1000 feet high, the home of those who have been cured of consumption and prolific in all the semi-tropical fruits.

 We, your Committee, recognize the fact that throughout the United Stat es many places contain sanatoriums for the cure of tuberculosis. Among these we might mention the Black mountains of Tennessee, New Mexico, Texas, Ashville. North Carolina, and Colorado Springs, Colorado. But in the Judgment of this Committee, after a full investigation, Arizona, for the reasons above set forth, seems to the committee the most desirable place for the erection of the sanatorium rec commended in this report.

PhoeiX is rather interesting He start ed in with cut in prices, feeling it necessary to do something to gain rec ognition against the big yards that had previously dictated almost everything in connection with the lumber trade. It is true that he managed economic ally and did not have the large invest ment the opposition had, but turned his stock over rapidly and sold it at close margins to do so, endeavoring to make all the legitimate profit he was entitled to- Now he thinks he has demonstrated his connection and also that the condition will stand a little further cutting.
 Not only was he met by fierce op- position on the part of all the older yards, but their practice of giving re- bates to contractors he disapprOved and then discountenanced. He believed the rebate should be in the form of lower prices to the man who paid for the lumber, letting the contractor de- pend upon his legitimate contracting business for his. profits. As was to be expected, the opposition of the con tractors was added to that of the combined competitive lumber interests and AndersOn's hold if he got one. must be with the people direct. His sue cess has been gratifying and if he can sell the lumber to the people, he is willing to accept the boycott of the contractors and the opposition dealers. When he started his friends pointed out to him that he could not hope to overcome the capital and combine op position of the other yards and even the most conservative advised him that six months would quiet his ambition to become lumber dealer in Phoenix
 And now, while he is planning to close out his yard, sell the stock, fix lures, lease and all, he is going to do, so with money in his pocket, a nice little roll of it, too, over and above all is~debts, which will be promptly paid when due and which are not worrying him in the slightest. His mill business in the north has also proved a success, reports to the contrary notwithStand- ing, and requires more of his attention than ever. His main point is to dis pose of the Arizona lumber cut now on hand and while doing so he will let the tail go with the hide, and give his patrons the benefit of cheap prices on all lines that mako up the general stock of lumber yard. just as he has done since the gates of the Buckeye yard were first opened. There will be a deal of building in Phoenix the com ing fall and he expects to furnish lot of the lumber for it.

ed in this same report that the mortality has been reduced already fifteen per cent in certain localities.
 The report of the national council urges the establishment of a sanator- ium as an educational institution so that its benefits will not be confined to it's walls, but will be disseminated broadcast throughout the world.
 The report concludes with the fol- lowing recommendations:
 First: That the Knights of Col umbus erect sanaterium for the care of its members now afflicted or who may become afflicted with the dread disease called tuberculosis or consumption.
 Second: That the sanatorium be open to both Insurance and Associate members of this Order
 Third; That for the purpose of erecting d building sufficient to take care of at least 150 members at d time, an assessment of 50 cents per capita be levied on the entire mem bership of the Order.
 Fourth: That for the purpose of maintaining the sanatorium we rec ommend the establishment of d Sink ing Fund, to be known as "Sanitor- Ium Sinking Fund.- and for this pur- pose we recommend that an assess ment be levied on the entire member ship of the Order for d period not to exceed three years in the sum of 70 cents per capita; that said assess ment begin the year following the assessment for the purpose of raising funds to erect the sanitorium.
 Fifth That thereafter and for each succeeding year until the sana- torium becomes d self-sustaining in stitutiOn, we recommend that an an nual assessment of 20 cents be levied

more public or government lands would be disposed of for the present. In view of the fact that companies were able to secure large tracts of such lands in the past for coIOnizing purposes at very low prices, and that many inquiries are still being made concerning the same, the announce ment of their withdrawal from the market will save much useless core spondence.

Heavy Storm Across Mountains.

According to reports received in this
city today, the worst snowstorm Of
the season has been in progress on the
otherside of the Blue mountains. Word
from La Grande and Baker City is
to the effect that both the Grande
Ronde and Powder River valleys have
been held in the grip Of a severe snow
and wind storm. The snow is said to
have piled in great drifts along the
railroad tracks and to have seriously
delayed traffic for several hours. on
this side Of the mountains, however,
the weather has been exceedingly
mild today and there is every indica-
ton Of an approaching chinook.
