the rates, and they would remain so
until the mains were extended. A
committee was appointed by the asso-

these mains could be extended. The
Herald was also requested to state to
the Algiers people that if there had

 Proceeding as fast as possible with the building of the Phoenix plant. thirty-nine blocks of under ground conduit were laid in con crete. when Mir. Tharpe representing the Overland came to the Home company with a proposition for con solidation. In fact two propositions were made and rejected but finally a third was devised that proved satis- factory. The Overland at that time consisted of consolidating of the various exchanges along the line of the Santa Fe and certain leases over government lines through the forest reserves and elsewhere. The con solidation assured the Home of long distance connection over a large part of the territory. very necessary fea- ture to its success.
 Then came the question of installa- tion and whether it would be the or manual system. The former was chosen even though it's installation was most expensive. The ciief desideratum at all times was service and to tha; end the best pos sible equipment was used all tLe way through. Plans were laid financing the company for what was believed to be its necessities in new con struction for the first two years of

it's use. That was in the spring of 1910.
 On the 10th of last August the exchange was opened here With a limited number of telephones and many orders ahead. All orders were filled as promptly as possibl, but the demand increased in a wonderful ratio. In four months. or on De- cember l6. the company had used up practically all the material it al expected to need during the first two years and the problem of she hour came to be how to raise cash for con- struction to meet the demand A rusn order was made for $25.000 Tlore equipment and that is due to arrive in a few days. One half of it wIll be used in the suburban or country lines and the other half in Phoenix and the mechanical forces are lined up to work both night and day shifts in hastening installation. Just as soon as this equipment arrives more will have to be ordered.
 Dr. Foss said the company now has in operation in Phoenix and the nearby district. that is to say this side telephones and there are orders for over 100 more on the waiting list Moreover. the company has not had a solicitor in the field for three months

A pretty waist is made with a few small tucks over each shoulder It closes at the side the side piece be- ing brought to a point about half way to the waist line and the side portion curving outward to this point The upper part is trimmed with small silk covered buttons and the lower with a frill of lace which is just full enough to give a mi-cascade effect The simple waist is in great demand. especially when it is made in thin. supple materials. These waists are general gathered in about the round neck or are gathered into a round yoke. Such gathered waists are all ways exceedingly becoming to young girls and to the small woman who is thin. since it gives very girlish ap- pearance. Lace undersleeves may be worn with this sort of waist. and the sleeves may he elbow or full length.

IMMIGRATION FoSTERED FOR
 SAME REASON SLAVERY WAS

So long as every rise of wages op- crates merely to suck in unlimited thousands of the surplus population of Europe and Asia. no permanent raising of our own standard can be hoped for. writes Joseph Lee in The Survey. The net result of present immigration is simply to spread the unfortunate conditions which these immigrants represent over our own country, and to IAve their home problem as far from solution as it was before. It is the old case of the English sparrOws over again: there are not permanently fewer of them in England since they came here and drove out our native birds.
 A large part of the present move ment especially from southern and eastern Europe. is made possible through assistance of relatives or friends
 To the steamship companies the emigration from southern and east ern Europe is peculiarly attractivs because so many of the immigrants from these countries go forward and back. so that the company gets a fare both ways.
 In short. our present immigration. thus fostereds for purely industrial purposes. is largely a cold business proposition. It has behind it. partly. the same business motive-the desire for supply of cheap labor-which formerly brought about the African slave trade (although. of course. the

"FLETCHERISM"

The habit of chewing ones food un- til it becomes almost liquefied and swallowed invOluntarily. and eating certain foods at certain times of the day is called Fletcherism" after a man named Fletcher who advocates this method as a remedy for indigestion and stomach troubles. While one may get from this system the maximum amount of strength from the b5inimum amount of food, 1t is question as to what exent this principle of living can be applied 10 the human race as a whole. It is an old and true saying, What is one mans meat is another mans poison"
 There is one thing sure. however, much less distress and much rpore as- similation of the body building ele- ments contained in every day food would be experienced by people with poor or impaired digestion if they would only believe what we tell them. about Yinol
 There is no mystery about it, or mis- representation. Vinol simply contains the necessary elements needed to re- establish normal condition of the di- gestiye system. There Is no need of going into the scientific reasons why it simply does it, that is all.
 Thousands of genuine testimonials from reliable people prove this claim. and to further support the fact and prove our faith in what we say. we un- hesitatingiy declare that any one who will buy a bottle of vinol for stomach disorder and malassimilation. will have their money returned without question if they are not satisfied that it has done them good, A.

 Only brief mention need be made
 of Mir. Stoddard's career as a busi-

 ciaIly. He has served the territory
 as secretary and as acting governor
 and has in all things measured up to
 the standard of men chosen to fill
 such positions. and successful in his
 business life. As mentioned Dr. Foss has served the company from it's
 beginning without one cent of salary or share of promotion stock. his
 primary purpose being the success of the company and the giving of the best possible telephone service His successor has assumed his duties on the same terms. pr Foss remains a stockholder and in the success of the company hopes for only such rewards as are shared by all holders of stock having bought his own hold ings for cash as did all the direc- tors. Mir. Stoddard in like manner will depend for the first year at least on the same remuneration only.

 In connection with that statement it is timely to quote the comment of we'll known banker of the city who is familiar with the company's af- fairs. and who said yesterday that in his opinion the company inside of a year would be making d profit of s1O.O00 per month on it's Phoenix ex- change alone. f

 A natural consequence of this se- lection largely by steamship agents is that the types selected are not such as easily to assimilate with our present population The absence of family life among a large proportion of the immigrants. the overcrowding and congestion in cities. the fact that the tendency to become naturalized even among those who have been here five years or more. is not great" are all natural and consistent of the purely commer- cial motive on the part of the inn porter and of those imported

An illustration of the growth of business is found in the records of revenues. The receipts of the Phoe- nix exchange for September were sT5O: october. s250O; November. s4I5O: December. s55OO. and with the installation of the equipment now ordered it is believed the revenue will be slo.000 per month.
 The authorized capital of the com pany is million dollars of which only about half is thus far sold. nearly all the stock being owned in this territory and there being $50 shareholders in this valley. so it is a home company in fact as well as theory. only about s5.OO0 of outside capital is concerned. In addition the company has an authorized issue of s5O0.00O worth of construction bonds. of which only $20O.000 is thus far sold. The company expects to fi- nance its future operations for con struction by the sale of either stocks or bonds or both and it Is stated that the demand indicates that there will be no trouble in doing so.
 The Phoenix exchange now has long distance connection either over it's own lines or lines owned by the government on which it has secured leases, to Buckeye. Tempe. Mesa Roosevelt. Globe and via Payson to Flagstaff and along the Santa Fe to the exchanges in Williams. Flag staff. Springerville. St. Joseph and intervening places. All the lines are in Jerome and the only thing wait ing is the installation of an exchange. To the northwest the line goes to Glendale. Peoria and Marinette.
