ROOSEVELT JUDICIARY
 ARRIVES IN TOWN
Everything Now in Readiness for the
 Legislature to Proceed.

Judge J. C. Evans of Roosevelt ar rived on the scene of action yCsteT lay and announces that he is in readiness for the legislature to assemble and he don't.care how quick it gets busy. He also says that he is not here in search of an office but only as q patriot to see that his fellow democrats frame up the sort of laws the people need ana he proposes to stick around until he feels satisfied that they are going to do it. He mas set next Wednesday as the day of his departure unless he should feel like staying longer.
 The judge says there are great many pressing matters that will de- mand the early attention of the law makers. but there is one thing more urgent than any other. (to the justice of the peace in RoosevelD, and that is the matter of laws concerning fees salaries. tenure etc. of precinct off cerS.
 The judge is no idle theorist. He al- ways comes to his conclusions on inn portant matters only after careful consideration of demonstrated facts Tn Ille ma ter or pTeCliCl piiI'tIH tll' judge feels that he knows about all there is to know about it. He knows he was elected justice of the peace in Roosevelt in 1909 and there has never been an election for that office called since by the governor or unier the statutes. He reasons that no successor has vet qualified and he is therefore still justice of the peace. under fees made and provided by the territorial statutes into which the constitution breathed enough new life to last until the state legislature could take ac- tion He also knows that some dime ago a number of gentlemen in Globe. the county seat of his county, sitting as a board of supervisors. sent him the information that henceforth ,hey would allow him $15 a month as sal ary in lieu of any fees he may have been receiving as justice of the peace. The information was filed. the court proceeding to peddle out justice as heretofore and at time honOred and established rates. He says that when the time comes he will send in his bill to the supervisors as heretofore and in accordance with time hOnOred custom. If the board is recalcitrant and refuses to come across, and the bill is enough bigger than the salary allowed he will see if he can split it with a lawyer

 That is what The Republicans lat est astonishing liberal circulation of fer turns out to be.
 From the time the first announcement was made the office of The Republican has been ,leluged with inquiries and requests for contracts. It just seems aS though half the population of Maricopa county is going after the other half of Maricopa county to sub scribe for Arizona's leading paper.
 Just on the off chance that some few individuals have failed to see the an nouncement which is displayed on a prominent elevation of this paper let it be known that that mothers son, or daughter. or the mother or the father or any other member of the family can go out and select fifty friends who are not already subscribers to The Repub lican and sign them up.
 That is absolutely all there is to it except to notify the coast trip depart ment when you want to start for Los Angeles. the wonder city of the world

 There are no limitations. no restric- tions. You go when you want to. go where you want and stay for thirty days at the expense of The Republi- can. There is no contest. You know just what will secure this most ;iesir- able outins and if you so desire you may win enough trips to take the en- tire family with you.

 INTO SOCIETY
Chief Planning Department Ball Proceeds of Which Will Go to Florence Crit tenton Home; Party Next Month; Idea Endorsed

Chief of Police John Moore has an idea A sure enough tailor made idea and everyone to whom Johnny has imparted it has endorsed the plan. Moore has watched the firemen, and the Knights of this and the Royals of that holding annual balls. and he thinks that il is mp to the police de- partment to break into this social game.
 There isn't a handsomer lot of cop pers in all the rty-eight states, '' says Johnny, and as he has recently inspected d lot of 'em from Atlanta to Niagara Falls he knows whereof he speaks. Wherefor why not ball?
 The police department has just about everything it needs. The force only works twelve or fourteen hours and gets large and munificent sal aries just for walking around the streets and stopping bullets and mak- ing friends with speeding autoists. No. the department don't need the money. but the chief believes that a police ball properly handled could be made source of real good to a de- serving institution such as the Flor ence Crittenton Home. wherefor the first annual police ball will be held early in April. probably at Melczer hall.
 Every officer who can be spared from duty will he present in dress uniform, and at some time or other during the festivities every officer will have a look in at the ball. The city officials will all he there. and either the mayor or the chief will lead the grand march
 Every dollar of the proceeds, after the expenses are paid. will he given to the management of the Florence Crittenton Home, an institution which works to the greatest advanage in conjunction with the police depart ment
 The chief will announce committee appointments in a few days. and every officer and every business man and everyone in Phoenix interested in the work of the Florence Crittenton Home will be expected to get out and sell tickets. for the first annual copper ball in the city of Phoenix is going to be a scintillating, glitterins. four teen karat diamond success

Tile aftermath OF the Republican

that the only sore spots in evidence

bosses, the bosses candidates and the

has been so long known that the Re

them have a voice In the party coun

ders OF benevolent institutions for

WEST VIRGINIA COAL.

In presenting the figures OF coal
production in West Virginia In 1911,
the United States Geological Survey
makes comment which should be an
incentive to the upbuilding of indus
tries In that State. For three years
West Virginia has been second in
rank among the coaI-rrodHcfng States
of the country, and mined 59.SSl $50
short tons in 1911. The value OF this
output was $53,670,5l5 Some of the
highest grade bituminous coal OF the
country Is produced in WEst Virginia,
that State being one OF the five South.
ern States containing Is per cent o.
the stock OF coal suitable for iron
making coke. Yet as tic Survey
points out, the average price OF the
States coal is low as far as the re-
turns to the produced are concerned.
The average price per ton was 90
cents last year, whereas the average
IA lII tOA lOl SOul III tAAhSHt NuHh
ing third in production. was from
81 % TO $1.l4 In the past few years,
While the average price for Alabama
coal has ranged from $l.i9 In 1909 Is
$l.34 in 1906. This difference Is &C
counted for by the iron industry Of
Alabama giving local market to the
coal OF that State and by tho needs oil
manufacturing communities in IlIinoia
or nearby territory.
Producing about 12 per cent Of the
coal OF the country and more than
three times as much rs Alabama,
West Virginia in 1869 had $t50.923. 900
invested In factories producing an
nually to the value of $16l 100000, as
compared with. $l73.1SO,0OO factory

in connection with coke from West
Virginia coal when he said:
I'm the quantity OF coke produced
West Virginia has for several years
held second place among the State,
but is outranked by Alabama in the
value Of the product. The reason for
this lies in the fact that the output OF
Alabam has in the iron manuractur.

practically all OF the West Virginia
coke Is shipped 10 furnaces outside OF
the State. In reaching for these mar.
kets the coke OF West Virginia not
only has to meet In competition the
product from other States, but one
district in the State becomes a rival
with other West Virginia districts,
and the result is exhibited in the sta.
tistics Of production and value.
Next to Pennsylvania, West Virginia
possess more wealth in supplies OF
coking and other high grade Goals
than any other State in the Union, but
as long rs both the coal and the coke
