SUM MARY

The finance committee, DR.. H.
Vance Clymer, and T. L. McCutcdeon
yesterday called on quite number of
prominent men who had subscribed to
the fund and asked them as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of putting the remaining
money in the bank or spending it Tn
the Harmon fill, where the work is
still incomplete.
All were unanimous in the idea that
the money was donated for this road
and should be spent there at once.
So the finance committee has re-
tanned George Harding to superintend
the work and to spend the remaining
money on the fill, which Mr.. Harding
believes will almost complete the
work with what was done Monday.
If this money will completes the work
at the big fill then The roaG clear

Only Postage Stamps

By a recent order of the postoffice
department, the attaching of any
stamp, other than United States
postage stamp to the address side Of
letter or parcel, will render it non
transmissible, no matter how many
postage stamps may also be attached.
The reason is obvious There are many
values of postage stamps in different
colors, as there are also numerous
other kinds of stamps. By placing
other stamps on a piece of mail con-
fusion and delay is added to the work
of the postoffice clerks If one de
sires to use stamps to advertise some
event, they should be sure to attach
them to the back of the letter

Fire Partly Destroys
Arizona Insane Asylum

Phoenix, September with 300
unfortunates seated on the lawns in
attitudes of indifference, watching the
flames with the eyes of children, the
Arizona Insane Asylum, located On the
Tempe road, three miles east of Phoe-
nix, was partially destroyed by fire of
uncertain origin between 900 and IL
O'Clock this morning. The estimated
loss is $4,000, well covered by insur-
ance. Every patient was removed
from the building, in safety long be-
fore there was dny danger.
Before the fire was under control,
Governor Sloan had made provision
for caring for the patients, arranging
with the Maricopa supervisors to use
the tuberculosis asylum east of Phoe-
nix and south of the asylum.
The board of control will immediate
ly rebuild the building which was COM
pletely Quilted, though the walls were
left standing.

Justice Shops
ShrOuded in
! Gloomy Gloom

Commander in Chief Gloom, the old
cove lin charge of the misery, anguish
sorrow forces, has routed the league
of little joys from their ancient bat
Elements in the justice of peace offices
in Arizona. But Captain Gloom could
not have done the job had it not been
for the action of the trainers of the
constitution.
1t was section II, of Article XXI
that brought victory to the glooms.
And this is what the article says:
"All state ard county officers,
Except notaries public, and all
justices of the peace and consta-
bles, whose precinct includes
city or town, or part thereof
shall be paid fixed and definite
salaries and they shall receive no
fees for their own use.'
"ShalI be paid fixed and definite
salaries and they shall receive no
fees for their own use," is the
bomb that blew the joy forces out
of sight.
Fees, are the chief incentive for the
work that is germane to the offices of
constable and justice of the peace.
The absence of fees will probably
reduce the earnings of these offices
about 20 per cent.

FEES FOR ITS FLASHES.
San Salvador Uses a Live Volcano a,
Lighthouse.

San SALVADOR Uses Live volcano as
Lighthouse.
The republic of San Salvador is the
only government on earth that collects
lighthouse fees on account Of q volca-
no that 1t owns and without the slight
est cost Of upkeep.
The volcanic beacon is about eight
miles inland from the port Of Acajutla.
and its pillar of cloud by day and its
fire sky by night are visible for many
miles out at sea. 1t bursts forth every
seven minutes and is just as accurate
as any revolving light that warns
mariners of danger in any part Of the
world.
This volcano has been keeping up
this seven minute series of eruptions
even since any one can remember. 1t
Is a favorite amusement of visitors to
sit by the hour during the lazy after
Moons and. watch in hand, to time the
erupdons till they tire of the occupa-
ton and fall asleep. No one has ever
caught the volcano mapping. however.
Every vessel that puts in at Acajutla
has to pay its lighthouse fee. There
is no other lighthouse than the vol
cano. but that is sufficient excuse for
the government of Salvador to make
a charge for its services. The explo-
sions that accompany the eruptions
sound like detonations of heavy
charge of dynamite. but fortunately
they are not sufficient to shake the
ground perceptibly more than about a
mile or two from the summit Of the
crater.-Pearson's Weekly.
