Periodical Mail
by Fast Freight
is a Big Success
Two Million Dollars is the Sum it is
Estimated that Uncle Sam
Will Save.

WASHINGTON Sept. IA saving to the
government Of fully S2,0OO,oOo on the trans
mission of periodical mail by, fast freight
was today estimated by Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock after a two weeks trial of
this method Of shipment. Iee plan was
put in effect September and everything
has gone along smoothly and satisfactorily.
The postmaster general today said the
system was proving highly successful ana
that the leading magazine publishers of the
country were cooperating with his de-
partment IN a most commendable way for
the purpose of making the new plan sue
eessful.
The magazine shipments now made by
fast freight chiefly from Buffalo and Pitts
burg in the east TO Chicago, Omaha, St.
Paul and Kansas City in the west There is
a corresponding movement eastward for
such periodical matter as in sufficient bulk
to make car load lots. Westward bound
periodical matter originating in the east
goes in storage cars on the regular mail
trains as far as Buffalo and Pittsburg,
where it is transferred to the fast freight
trains. These through freight trains run
from Buffalo to Chicago in thirty-one
hours, and from Pittsburg TO Chicago in
thirty-hours. The time from Buffalo to St
Louis is thirty-five hours, and from Buffalo
to Omaha about fifty hours.

ENGINEERS COMING
 TO ROADS CONVENTION
Miller of New Mexico and Fletcher of California Will Speak at the Tri-State Meeting to Be
 Held Here Dec 20.

Not long since Governor Sloan authorized Territorial Engineer J. B
 Girand to invite Austin B. Fletcher and Chas. D. Miller. state engineers of California and New Mexico, re- spectively. to attend the Good Roads convention which will meet in this city on the twentieth of the month.
 The invitation was duly sent and q reply has been received from Mir
 Miller of New Mexico, who intends coming to Phoenix at that time unless something now unforeseen intervenes.
 The subject of better highways is one that is of great interest to all citizens of whatever occupation and at the meeting of the delegates of this territory and the states which adjoin it on the east and west. there will be speeches and discussions of mutual interests to them all At that time a Southwestern Good Roads as- sOciation will be formed and a sys- tematic method of cooperative pro- ceedure will be planned.
 The Arizona department of good roads was created in March, 1909. SiliCt WHICH lliiie liit DodTu oI ColllTpl has designated highway plan for the territory which in the main consists of q north and south and east and west road. Whenever any work is done it is upon one of these lines. It is not proposed to definitely fix the ingress and egress of the east and west highway until California and New Mexico decide where they wish these roads to enter their states and this is one of the matters to be
 About 12O miles of the road in this territory has been constructed and ther are at present several parties in the field The work is all done by contract excepting the bridge work which is done by cOnvicts, and all highway work is performed under the direction of the board of control It is probable, however. that at the of the first state legislature a bill will be passed appointing a commission which will in future have charge of such labor
 The idea in forming a union of the tri-s state associations is that they may be mutually helpful and do their work in harmony thus saving both labor and expense. These state high ways are all designed to connect with each other and with those of other states thus becoming a part of the l national highway.

The articles which have ap- peared in this home grown production have usually dealt with local industries or affairs but it is the intention of the management to add a department of fiction to the reading matter as soon as possible
 The editorial of the publication will in the future be contributed by Mir. w. F. Woodruff. who has recently become associated with John Arden Reeves and will be an important member of the staff. Mir. Woodruff is a cultured ard talented gentleman with progress sive ideas and the Arizona" is to be congratulated on securing his services.
 In the forthcoming Woman's edition the editors vii publish articles written by well known women on various sub jects, and invite the ladies to send in their contributions or to call at the office and talk to the editor about the topics on which they feel competent to write Interestingly and instructivelv.
