 The total number of transfers Of land by deed of record. the only transfer recognized by the associa- ton was 1920 for the year. an in crease of 2S per cent over last year Many of the transfers have been for the purpose of segregating excess holdings and many others have been the result of cutting up subdivisions into small building tracts.
 These two items showed in the making of the register Of voters Tor the recent annual election, that book containing this year 2660 names as compared with 2l3O last year, or an increase of over 24 per cent. Com pared with two years ago the increase in this one item of the work of the office is over 45 per cent.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
Denial of Any Alliance With Corporate
 interests.

An attempt. deliberate and dishOn- est. has been made during the closing days of this campaign to mislead the people into thinking that the demo- cratic candidates will be influenced by the Pacific Gas and Electric com pany.
 But for the fact that the charge made against the democrats by its repetition may have some influence. no attention would be paid to the ri- diculous statement. It deserves scarcely more attention than any other campaign lie.
 Not only will the democratic candi- dates act independent of the Pacific Gas and Electric company. but they will refuse to accept dictation from any other interest, except the will of the people.
 Not only have Eugene Hackett. Frank Wood and William Lount promised that they will make the best possible contract for the lighting of the streets of Phoenix. but they have gone much farther and have pledged that whatever the contract made, it must contain clanse that at any Allit il tstil bt ftStluutu SilouiN Ait city decide to install municipal plant
 Whether any contract should be made at all. the length of time and other features depend entirely on what the Pacific Gas and Electric company will present to the city in the way of terms. The contract un- der the democrats will positively not be for more than two years and for a shorter time if deemed eXpedient
 Everyone of the democratic candi- dates has resided long in Phoenix.

None of them has ever been Tn the employe of the Pacific Gas and Flee tric company. there are no associa tions direct or indirect. of a financial nature nor are there any alliances that will influence them in the slight est degree in dealing with public mat ters. wherein private corporations are concerned.

An Awful Punishment.


A homely. hard featured. elderly tenn
perance speaker OF the feminine per-
suasion In the course OF a lecture be-
fore a somew what mixed audience, found
occasion to say:
"Friends, as passed along the street
at an early hour this morning l saw
lying in a drunken stupor amid the
ooze and slime of the gutter, poor
fallen, besotted fellow being. No Good
Samaritan came his way; the passers-
by hurried on with merely curious
glance and left him to his shame. But
as I paused beside him as he lay the
thought came to me that fallen as he
was. that man had perhaps a wife. a
mother q sister. who loved him. SO
kneeling. | brushed aside the stains
from his face and smoothed the matted
hair back from his brow. and, dear
friends. l kissed him."
Thereupon from the rear of the audi
forum came the sympathetic com
ment of an Interested nearer: And
you just served him right"

don as high as 4. 620.404 In 1899. but the

In various boundaries, The city of
London within municipal and parlia-
mentary limits has an area of only 6IS
acres and had population in 1901 or
only 26.92S. The area OF the county OF
London is "a. S39 acres. and It's popu-
lation in 1901 was 1886, 54-a little be-
low that of New York. The Central
criminal court district is somewhat
larger that New York and had popu-
lation of 6.S54. 40 ten years ago. while
the Metropolitan and city police dis
tricts. with an area Of 4+S.419 acres
more than twice the area OF this city
had a population in 1901 of 6.oSl,3i2.
The population of inner London, within
the boundaries of the county. has actu-
ally decreased in the last decade. The
entire gain has been in the suburban
region devoted to homes rather than
to trade or industry. which accounts
