The patrol will be composed of A mem bers, garbed in new, nifty, dazzling uniforms that would almost make an officer of the army turn green with envy and they will be the pride oe Fl Zaribah Temple and their admiring friends during the sojourn in Los Angeles
 The members Of the various patrols assembling in Los Angeles will be the recipients of probably the. most eX- pensive souvenirs distributed during the week; this souverir will be of solid silver, richly engraved and handsomely mounted; the plans and preparations for it's making were matched in the fertile brain of Motley Flint, former postmaster of Los Angeles, one of the greatest boosters that city of live wires" has ever possessed and the man, who it is said, has brought more conventions to the city than any other five men combined; while there is much real value represented in the souvenirs, the manner of their reception will be of still greater moment to the proud nOSseSSor

Corporation Commissioner Tells About Contract for Sale of
 Power.
MAKES MANY
 QUEER CHARGES
Implies That Some Best Known People Were Guilty of Gross
 Trickery.

Following it's inquiry into affairs relating tos the Mesa Improvement companys methods of acquiring the 30,00O acres of land composing it's property. the congressional investi . gating committee, composed of Rep rcsentatives Hensley, Galloway and Hanna today took up the affairs of the Pacific Gas and Electric company with relation to its contract with the federal government for the purchase of power from the Roosevelt dam. Much alleged history was given be- fore the committee yesterday by F. A. Jones. one of the members of the corporation commission
 Mir. Jones said that as the time for the completion of the dam drew near there was q great deal of interest in the benefits to be derived by the wa ter users from the sale of power. He said it had been generally understood that this power was not to be mon opolized and that it was to be sold to the many manufacturing plants which, it was thought, could be in duced to come to Phoenix He also said that after great deal of bfOuDIt ne, dS d representative OI the board of trade and the Arizona commercial club, had finally discov : cred that an exclusive contract had been awarded the Pacific Gas and Electric company. although. he de clared. that fact had been denied by a representative of the reclamation service @ 5lfs%9Fe 1Ha
 This contract, MT. Jones said, had been in existence-a- Xear before the fact became kpowp-<, He declared he had asked a reclamation official why the facts had not Yeen4 given out and had receivel the reply that secrecy had been enjoined
 A great deal more testimony alons the same linelswas given by Jone' who was allowed perfect freedom il telling his story effe said there was a strong demand here for a munici- pal electric plant to compete with th'

Pacific Gas and Electric company and he recalled the fact that an election had been held. Mir. Jones made the astounding declaration that congress did not authorize the issuing of bonds for the building of this plant because L. H. Chalmers went to Washington and induced congress not to take that action. Just how MT. Chalmers hap pened to have so much influence over congress the witness di1 not say.
 The contention of Governor Kibbey, who appeared before the committee, was to the effect that the right of the Pacific Gas and Electric company to purchase power was due to it's con tract with the Arizona Canal com pany, whose obligations he said, had been taken over with it's physical property
 In this testimony Jones dealt freey with the names of the reclamation of ficers and the names of many prem inent business men, intimating tl,d- many of them were actuated by i'm proper motives and a desire to take undue advantage of the people of Phoenix and the Salt River valley.
 
 the work of reclamation here have recently been brought out before the committee. Most of these facts have been given by MT Heard, MT. Orne, president of the Water Users asso- citation, MT. Fowler, and others. They deal with the acquisition of the Roosevelt dam site, the purchase of the old canal system, the construction of the dam, assessments, and the sys- tenn of water distribution.

ADVERTISING THAT
 GETS QUICK RESULTS
H. C. Holzer Writes That He IS "LiteralIy Flooded With
 Answers

Advertising which brings so many replies that the advertiser is com pelled to call for help to be certain of reaching all of his correspondents is very much worth while.
 Republican ads are the greatest lit tie pullers in the world. There is nothing like them and the bulging classified columns and bristling dis play pages give daily evidence that this fact is appreciated by the pub lie.
 Just for example. here is a letter received from H. C. Holtzer which is self-explanatory:
 Phoenix. Ariz.. April 27. 1912. The Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix Arizona. Gentlemen:
 have been so flooded with answers to my advertisement appearing in the miscellaneous col umns of vour paper that would ask you to kindly advise through the columns of your paper that these let ters shall have my attention at the earliest time possible
 Thanking you for the courtesy eX- tended me. I remain
 Yours very truly

STRONG WOOD FOR CARRIAGES
Hickory Is Most Important on Ac-
count of Lightness Without Los
ing Any of Its Strength.

The most important kind Of wood
which the carriage maker uses is hick-
DRY. The Hghtness, without loss of
strength, for which American made
vehicles are famous, is largely due
to the use of hickory. 1t has great
strength and elasticity. There is no
other wood that equals it in these re
spects, and all kinds have been used.
For one thing, the light wheels used
on some kinds of pleasure vehicles
would have to be fitted with very thick
tires If hickory was not employed.
Ash and elm have been tried in place
Of hickory, but these woods split too
easily to be successful substitutes.
Many millions Of feet of hickory are
used every year in the carriage and
wagon industry. 1t is feared that its
rate of production may not keep pace
with the demands of the trade, for
hickory springeth not up in the night
Nevertheless, it does grow rapidly
enough to hold out some hope that
with careful supervision of the forests
the hickory tree may be made to yield
a sufficient crop.

QysLlTIES OF FUSED SILICA

cheap, and has small expansion; and
its disadVantag es-such as easy break
age, lack of elasticity, and slight
solubility in water-are not important.
The first meter Of the kind, as describ-
ed to the London Royal society, is a
tube Of silica with horizontal slabs of
the same material fused into the ends.
The slabs are accurately ground, with
plane ard parallel sides. The under
sides are coated with platinum, and
the lines of the standard are ruled
through this film with a diamond. The
a1nealing of the meter-by slowly
heating to 450 degrees, maintaining at
this temperature for eight days, and
slowly cooling Il days-cause a

"CANADlUM" is A NEW METAL
While Investigating Gold Mine ,
in British Columbia.

"Canadium7' is the name given
new metal discovered by A. C. French,
metallurgical chemist of Nelson, B. c.,
when investigating a large gold mine
in that province. While examining a
deposit of platinum metals. he dis
covered, sometimes isolated and some
times in combination, another metal
which was quite different from other
members of the group. 1t has since
been found in many other igneous
bikes in the vicinity of Nelson.
Canadium is a beautiful white metal
but little softer than gold or silver
and melting at a somewhat lower tenn
perature, 1t is not furnished by damp
atmosphere nor blackened or affected
by sulphureted hydrogen, alkaline sui
phides or tincture of iodine, which
blacken both silver and palladium.
When FURNISHED, it is much more
brilliant than either silver or pal
ladium.

it was not like this. He did not rec

and understood enough to know that
