fui in obtaining this, but afterward asked
the Senate Committee on Appropriations
for $128, and, after some difficulty,
they obtained this amount. The reason
given for the increase was that they
wanted to buy fifteen feet additional
ground on the north and west sides OF
the old stables.
I'VE cannot see that the Commission
ers were authorized to buy q new site;
and. furthermore, they are violating the
building regulations in building the
stables on the new site"

ANNUAL REUNION
 TO BE HELD BY ELKS
(From Thursdays Daily.)

So flattering was the attendance of the Elks at the territorial fair this year, and so enjoyable was the occasion set aside by the management for them to mingle and enjoy a day especially their own that the forma- tion of the "Arizona State Elks Re union Association" resulted, and has been perfected and all officers elected.
 The order now enters upon a new and noteworthy era of fraternal in terest in the territory, and that it will gain even a higher regard than heretofore and result in still greater good to all localities generally, is assured from the splendid spirit aroused by the new association. The ties of fellowship will be eemented and link upon link will he welded into an agreeable chain for the good of all concerned.
 While the grand lodge does not rec ognize this departure inaugurated by the individual Elks behind it, its creation, nevertheless, is heartily en- dorsed and will be encouraged. Tue son was selected for the first re- union gathering place, in March, of 1912, and on the following year Prescott will be favored.
 The order in Arizona now numbers 3400 active members, and in line with their rapid growth and their proverbial hospitality, in all cities they maintain the best of accommo- datiOns for their visiting brethren, that all may be at home on any Oc~ casion. This wholesome spirit was manifested when the first state ball was given at Phoenix during fair week, which was pronounced the most enjoyable social event that had ever been held in the capital city.
 The officers of the new organiza- tion are Frank DeSouza, of Phoenix, president; E. R. Dickerman, of Tucson, first vice president; A. McAlpine, of Globe, second vice president; J. J. Kelly, of Clifton, treasurer; George Driscoll, of Phoenix, secretary. Mum erous committee appointments are to be made immediately by the presi- dent, and the machinery put in mo- tiOn to carry out the purposes of the new era with all earnestness and for the good of all identified with the laudable movement.

 At the home of Judge and Mrs. c. H. McLane last night at s O. clock, the marriage of Eva C. Burle- son and Robert R. Bliss was salemn- ized in the presence of only a few of their many friends and acquaint- ances. Judge McLane officiated. This nuptial event is an especially pleasing and interesting one, from the prominence of the high contract tracting parties and their popularity with all in this city and other places in the country.
 MT. Bliss for several months has been a business man of Humboldt, where his genial fellowship, and in dustry have won him many friends and admirers. His bride until re- gently was also a resident of that city, removing to Prescott few weeks ago. She is a charming young woman and is held in the highest esteem.
 MT. and Mrs. Bliss will make their home for the present in this city, and in few days will leave for the Bradshaw district, where he has val uable mining interests to look after. The desert regions will also be visit ed where he is interested as a heavy stOckhOlder in a new mining enter prise. Mr Bliss will be favorably remembered in business circles throughout Arizona as the travelling representatives of the Zellerbach Pa per Company of San Francisco, re- tiring from that vocation to become identified with business pursuits in this section. The happy couple are followed with the best of wishes for happy and prosperous future.

BETTER CALL A MATRON,"
 SAYS PRISONER

SPOKANE. Wash, Nov. 23.-Nell Piekerel, alias Harry Allen, was re- ferred to as Ca symphony in brow" ;" by a government official as she trip ped down the stairs at the Spokane county jail following her discharge by the federal grand jury, the mem- bers of which declined to return "true bill' for alleged "bOotleg- ging'' among the Indians. south of here. Alexander Paul, an Indian, who. the federal authorities say, purchas- ed liquor from the woman, was too intoxicated to testify when called be- fore the jurors and the dismissal re- suited.
 Paul was held as a witness against the woman in a state case to be in- stituted. Miss Piekerell was arrested more than two months ago and held a prisoner. She wore mems garments and her sex was not suspected until the jail attendants began searching for firearms and other dangerous weapons. "I guess you'd better call the motron," she said, quietly, "as I am woman, though I have worn Imen s clothes since leaving my home in the east, more than nine years ago. Miss Pickerell, who is 2s years of age, has a physique that would do credit to a 'longshoreman. She worked as a man in the grain fields and forests throughout the Northwest for several years.

This gentleman will also visit the prehistoric cliff dwell ings in Verde valley and other scenic wonders of this county, with a view to including text and photographs relative thereto in a booklet devoted to the northern part of Arizona, which previously dealt exclusively with the Salt River valley and its environs
 The secretary preached the subject of the good resulting from intensive publicity in eastern media of tried value in the magazine and periodical realm, especially with regard to pub lieity devoted to the tonic value of Yavapai county air. In this connec- tion President Fredericks inquired of Dr. Film as to the comparative val ue of Prescott as a winter vs. a summer resort.
 Dr. Finn responded that he was Sldu lllS lSSut udu Detn IdlScus ut felt sure he voiced the sentiment of the local medical profession when he stated that, for uncOmplicated cases of tuberculosis and kindred affee tiOns, better results were secured by the residence of patients in Prescott during the winter than during the summer season.
 Dr. Trudeau, continued Dr. Finn, is one of the foremost authorities on pulmonary disease in America, if not the first. In a conversation with Dr. Finn, Dr. Trudeau stated that in the rigOrs of the northern New York state winters, his patients did better than in the summer Dr. Finn concluded by stating that Pres cott air, being dryer and erisper than that of New York, this would apply in a far greater measure to patients wintering here.

CATTLE SHIPPED
 TO VALLEY PASTURE
(From Fridays Daily.)


 From Seligman and other northern points in the county twenty-three cars of cattle passed through Pres cott yesterday and today another train of fifteen ears is due, aggregat- ing a total of 1 1,5OO head which go to Glendale and other points in Salt River valley for feeding. Since the fall shipping season has begun, it is estimated that up to date over 12,000 head have been sent out of Yavapai county alone, all of which have av- eraged in value at least $25 per head, or a total of at least $300,000.
 In some instances as high as $40 per head has been received, and one bunch of 600 head is said to have been paid for at the rate of $36 per head. From Kirkland and Del Rio alone clearance has been given to over $500 head, while from Hillside, the total number shipped will reach to over 4O0O. More cars have been used by the s. F. P. & P. railway since October l, than during any former shipping season of equal length, which is an index of the thrifty cattle trade in this vicinity this year.

CAPITAL NEEDED
 TO DEVELOP BRADsHAWs
(Erom Fridays Daily.)

City Tax Collector Frank Williams, who returned yesterday from an in spectiOn of the Ingersoll mines in the Bradshaw mountains, with which he is identified, states that the usual amount of development is going on in that region and that the district has a great future if capital can be gotten to develop it. Conditions have improved somewhat over a year ago. Throughout that broad mineralized area, there are many splendid prop critics needing the magic touch of capital.
 The question of establishing public concentrating works is being discuss ed This movement if it can be car ried out, will be one of the most beneficial propositions for the future, and will solve the question of hand ling the low grade ores which have accumulated to the extent of thou sands of tons from former operations This can be verified by an examina- tion of the tonnage that is available and ready for treatment on the seat tered dumps of the scores of mines within a radius of but one mile of Grown King. The Pacific, Tiger Gold, Old Tiger, Savoy, Mascotte, Wildflower. Nelson, War Eagle and Swastika, are among the prominently rated companies, while the many in- dividual operators are making satis- factory determinations considering the difficulties in raising funds or the present time.
 MT. Williams anticipates one of the most active and prosperous min eral divisions of the county during the coming year, and with the solu- tion forthcoming of handling the big tonnage of low grade ores that can not stand transportation charges to market, the greatest gold region of Arizona will then be ineontrovertibly established.

MOUNTAIN TIME NAUGURATED IN ARIZONA

TUCSON, Arizona, Nov. 23. - Elf feetive December railway company will change its operating time throughout Arizona and New Mex ieo from Pacific to mountain time which is one hour faster. This announcement, made privately to a few merchants and other business men yesterday, was received by them with unusual unanimity and pleasure This change will unify Arizona and New Mexico as regards railroad time including the branch roads, and the municipal time of the principal cit ies, and scenes by those who have been consulted to be likely to be great improvement from both busi- ness and domestic standpoints The new time and the new time card. of the Southern Pacific main line, spok- en of this week, will go into effect at the same time.
 The step has not been taken with out due consideration. It has, in fact, been under consideration off and on for years, ever since the belted system of time was inauguarated. Passenger Traffic Manager Chas. s. Fee has ever been a strong advocate of application of the mountain zone time to Arozona and New Mexico
 By this change all railroad time in Arizona and New Mexico is brought to one uniform system. The only real change to railroad men is the putting of the hands of the watch or clock forward an hour,. No change is required in the actual sun time running of the trains. The greatest effects will be felt in commercial work and domestic arrangements and social life. But both the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe time as regards watches and clocks will be the same all over both territories, which may by that time both be states. It is considered fortuitous, by some, that the new unity of time, and the new states should come in at practically the same time.
 The new arrangement will also be more natural, certainly for Tucson. Phoenix and all Arizona towns now having Southern Pacific time or mix ed time.
 The present time is 30 minutes by the clock slower than by the sun. The new time will be 30 minutes by the clock faster than by the sun. But, as some have remarked, "That will get us up earlier, give us more daylight time for business, and more

HUNTING PARTY
 TINGED WITH TROUBLE
From Friday s Dailyl

From Friday Daily)
 W. Robinson a cOlOred cook, of this city, was arrested yesterday on the novel charge of opening tele- gram addressed to Dr. R. \. LOoney, and in the complaint filed larceny is also alleged.
 Leading up to these alleged erimin- al transactions, it appears that Rob- inson was employed as a cook on a hunting expedition taken by Dr.. Looney and his brOther-in-law, James A. Coulter, the latter a visitor from Kensington, Georgia. When the party broke camp at BOuse few days ago, Dr. Looney proceeded to Prescott, with Robinson, leaving Mir. Coulter at Bouse to take care of the equip ment The latter in looking after the effects of the party noticed that his valuable rifle was missing from the roll of blankets, and sent a telegram to that effect to Dr. LOOney, who had reached this city.
 It was at this stage of the game that Robinson is alleged to have per formed the trick of opening the mes sage, which it is said he secured in the city, and which up to date has never reached Dr. LOoney. Robinson, it is said, is believed to have anti cipated the sending of the telegram, hence his alleged avidity to inter cept any forewarning that the loser of the weapon might possibly attempt to make. The malicious opening of telegram is an offense which comes within the bounds of a felony, and on the charge of committing this serious crime the accused will have a hearing today before Judge Me Lane.

Interest in the regular meeting of Chamber of Commerce Thursday night eentered in the report of Dr. J. w.. Finn, president of the Prescott Water Users association, who stated that his organization was purely sub sidiary to the chamber.
 H. E. Armitage, chairman of the standing water committe of the Chamber of Commerce, rendered his resignation as such, explaining that, with the Water Users association in active existence, his position had no status. President Fredericks decided that action would be deferred until the next general meeting.
 Dr. Finn stated that he wished to make clear the reasons for the for nation of the Water Users associa- tion. This was the outgrowth of the committee appointed by the chamber, of which H. E. Armitage was made chairman. Dr. Finn said that he wanted this understood in justice to the members of this organization. His report was accepted with thanks.
