It will not be q great while now until the streets of the cn5i.e business section will be paved and everybody who hats watched the de vclopment of work of this kind il other cities knows that means only a beginning. In d few years at most Phoenix will be d city of paved streets, bouleVaTds and alleys. It win cost in thie aggregate a large amaInt of money. of course, but there is this consideration, the money spent in this way is merely an in- vestnsnt.

 NEW YORK. March 9.-Trading on the stock exchange during today's two hours session was not charac- terized by any special feature. The tone at the opening was rather heavy and irregular. but this condition later gave way to d stiffening of prices under the lead of copper shares. in which Amalgamated was distinguished by rising above it's high price for 1911. Of the active group, United States Steel reflected some selling pressure. which may have been based on the thrilled tonnage" report for February. Further reduction in the number of idle freight cars was shown in the February report which brought the unused equipment down under 5000.

SCHOONER DOROTHY PALMER
SAFE AT VINEYARD HAVEN
lowed 10, Sunday, by Cutter Acushnet, Att
err 43 Days Battle with Heavy Gales
Tales OF the Havoc Wrought by
Recent Gale Still Coming.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Feb. 20
The story of a 43-days battle with a
succession of heavy gales was told. to-
day, by Capt. j. Clement Harding Of
the five masted schooner Dorothy
Palmer which was towed into this
port, today, by the revenue cutter
Acushnet. The Palmer left Ports
mouth, y. H., for Norfolk on Jan %
and had not been reported until she

The storms encountered by til"
Palmer during her 43 days at sea, in
the course of which she was at one
time driven as far south and east as
Bermuda, began the day after she LETT
Portsmouth. Then a heavy westerly
gale swept the schooner well off shore
until she reached the gulf stream. and
from that time on gale after gale, all
ia a general westerly direction were
encountered As the vessel was light
and high out of the water, she was an
easy target for the wind and seas. She
scudded under bare poles most of the
time, but still lost several sails and
came into port with the others in tat
ters.
Despie her severe buffeting, the
Palmer's hui seems to have been I'M
damaged, and only repairs to her wind
lass. which was broken, and replace
ment of her sails is needed before she
resumes her voyage to Norfolk.

The only remark by the President
during the day which at all bore upon
the tense political situation was made
to senator who asked that his name
be not used. 1t was this:
Il know that were right and I am
confident that we will be successful.
1t has been only in the last fort
night that President Taft has been
willing to admit to hts closest friends
that he believed Col. Roosevelt would
enter the race against him for the
nomination 1t is doubted whether up
to the last minute, he was fully con-
WINGED that any announcement COM
ing from his predecessor would be
without a proviso.
That President Taft was deeply hurt
to learn that from now on he must
engage in an on@n contest against the
man under Whcm he served for many
years, became known after the Roose-
welt letter was made public. The rela-
tons between Mr., Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft when the latter served as sec
