New Fire Apparatus s

The town. this week received; the new fire fighting apparatus recently ordered. and now Williams is well prepared: to handle almost any fire which may occur. The new ma terial includes a hook and ladder truck, with all necessary equip ment, 800 feet of 9 inch hose and two hand chemicals. The total cost was over $40O. With the pew additions, and two good fire com panies already organized here, i5 is believed that Williams is better prepared for any emergency than any town between Albuquerque and Los Angeles.

Mondays Republican Rally

Despite the inclemency of the weather a fair sized audience greeted the speakers for politica honors at the opera house on Mon. day night
 The principal speaker of the eve ming, Hoval A Smith of Bisbee who seeks honor as United States senator with his bosom friend Ralph Cameron, made an eloquent appeal to his hearers, first for his friend and secondly for himself His talk was we'll received and showed a knowledge of conditions in this, his chosen State, which was only gained by actual exper- fence in the mines and long resi-. dence. If his promises made be fore his hearers Monday night, could be fulfilled, he would indeed be a valuable public servant for the new State. It remains for the voters to decide that.
 Robt. Fisher followed with a very interesting and also amusing speech in which he dwelt at length upon an explanation of the holes Tn the new constitution and with a hot roast for all the candidates of the opposition, winding up with an ap- peal to his audience to vote for all the candidates on the republican side of the question. His speech was we'll received and he took his seat amid much clapping of hands and amusement.
 Other speakers followed in about the same strain, and altogether those who attended seemed we'll entertained for braving the cold winds of the night.

STOCKSDISTRIBUTED
TO SMALL HOLDERS
Decentralization of Large In
terests Is Explanation.

New York. Dec. "a decided and sig
nincant increase during 1910 in the num-
Der of shareholders in railroad and in
dustriaI corporations, particularly in the
latter is shown in the annual canvass of
stockholders in the principal large cor
pOratiOnS in the United States just COM
pleted by the journal of Commerce.
The returns cover 234 separate concerns,
whose combined capital is so, J15. 7l9.
OF these 81 are railroads. having a capt.
talizatiOn of &,43I, S. IA, and 143 are in
dustrialS. with capitalization of $5,2I9,-
723545 The number OF stockholders in
holdings being 1891 shares, a decrease of
six shares per capita. The increase in
the total number of shareholders is S.
$50, or : per cent: the increase in the to-
tai capital is $l59, ,465, 17S, or ~ per cent.
The number of stockholders owning the
S5.+3l, Sj2l54 of railroad capital is 3S9,57l,
their average holding being 1872 shares,
as against 14Sl2 a year ago.
The number Of holders of the s., ,279, I32.-
o. of capital in the industrials is 59O.
S2S their average holdings being SO 3-s
shares against - last year.
The increase in the number of railroad
stockholders is per cent for an increase
in capital of barely per cent. The in
crease in the number of industrial stock
holders is 6 per cent, and the increase in
capital only l per cent.
This increase in the number of share
holders is attributed to a continued ten
denCy-alsO evident last year-toward
decentralization in the holdings of big
corporations. The large capitalists are
stedily diminishing their holdings, it Is
pointed out, and these are being absorb
ed by the public.
OF the railroads whose shareholders
have increased during the year. the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company stands
at the head, with a gain OF 1888: United
States Steel leads the industrials. with
an increase of $500.

PRESENT-DAY POET
So Justice Stafford Tells the
Congregational Club.

Declaring that this great country, with
all it's success in many lines of industry,
does not have a single present-day poet
OF distinction, Justice Wendell P. Staf-
ford, in an address on The gospel of
poetry" last night before the Washing
ton Congregational Club, at the First
Congregational Churcn, Tenth and G
streets northwest, gave much praise to
Americas earlier poets, and said that the
aim of poetry is TO make the ideal real.
Justice Stafford said that heroism is
poetry, the poetry of conduct; ana that
religion itself is poetry, the poetry or
morals. He also illustrated the real
poetry in the commonplace Things OF
life, by telling a story of little Italian
boy who was asked when testifying in
a case in court what month it was. He
replied that he did not know in English.
but that it was the month the viOlets
begin to bloom.
The evenings entertainment opened
with a dinner served by the ladies of the
church, after which a vocal duet, Love
Divine" was given by Mrs. B. II. Smart
and Kenneth w. ogden, with acCompani-
ment by William Wall Whiddit. A short
business session was held. after which
Justice Stafford delivered the address of
the evening. The meeting was the sixty
third. and was in celebration of Fore
fathers Day.
Among those present were Rev. F. ].

HIGHER PRICES FOR STEEL.

Nv York. Dec 2O-The Iron Age will
say tomorrow:
Tho steel companies have made some
further progress in establishing higher
prices for their products in the past week
and now look for railroad buying to re-
enforce the position in which the recent
heavy volume Of low-priced business has
put them.
Il mike the movements. which in other
periods have proved to he definite turn
inEs OF the tide. the present one comes
al n time in the year when demand Iags:
thus 1t lacks the usual accompaniment OF
mill assumptions and OF increased work
ing forces. What Is counted on by those
who predict large things for 1872 is that
orders now on hand will carry them we'll
into March at a high rate OF output, and
that spring business will then be suffi-
cicnt to fiji their books beyond the middle
Of the year.
Heavy buying by the railroads is i'm
pending In rails. Improvements of con-
tracts for 100000 TO 6OO, 600 tons are ex-
pectCd within the next fortnight. the
huvers including the New York Central,
Pennsylvania Baltimore and Ohio. Atch-
is"n, southern Railway, and several

SCHOLASTIC
ATHLETIC GOSSIP

Business High Schools baseball candi-
dates probably will be called out right
after the Christmas holidays, and from
present outlook the largest squad in the
history Of the school will report. The
Stenographers should have a winning
team. as there are many of last years
nine back in school.
Capt Wood, in all probability. will do
the receiving, unless a good man is found.
and II this is the case, the captain will
play somewhere in the infield.
Much Is expected Of Gene" Hart, as
this lad promises to be one of the best
shortstops in the high schools. He is a
good fielder and can hold his own at the
bat.
Mike" CantwelI is the most promising
candidate for the pitching Job at Tech.
The Blacksmiths have a coming twirler
in this lad, as he is experienced and has
lot Of speed, and with the proper sup
port should win his games. Cantwell
twirled for the Rock Hill College team
last year, and did good work.
Business is fortunate in getting Pat"
add to the strength of the Orange and
Blues nine next spring.
Throckmorton will make the outfielders
at Business run for a job, as, with a
little more experience. he should make a
good man. He, too, will help the pitch
ing stan along in case of injury to any
of the hurIers.
Capt. Wood is relying upon Reds Will
son for the coming season, as he is a
good players and knows the game from
A to Il. Reds is fast and a good
sticker, and with the experience he ac-
Cuired in the Commercial League last
year should strengthen the team consider
ably.
Eckert, n lieutenant in the cadet regi-
ment last year. is going out for one Of
the outfield jobs at Business next spring,
and il he can play ball as well as he
can drill a company, he should make a
good man for the team.
