NEW LIGHTS FOR
 DEPOT STREETS
City Electrician Copson Expects to Have Them installed for
 Fair Week.

Visitors to Phoenix during the week of the fair will hardly know South Central and First avenues from the railroad tracks to Washington street It the present plans of City Electri : clan w D. Copson do not fail. Cop son intends that these two streets shall be completely equipped with the new ornamental street lighting stan dards from the depots to Washington street. and that the night shall be turned into day as far as these thor oughfares are concerned
 Heretofore it has been the practice to string thousands of incandescent electric lamps along these streets They gave the light but at best they gave an appearance of crudity and the visitor instantly recognized that it was makeshift installed for their especial benefit.
 Thirty eight standards will be in stalled along the two streets. Already the conduits have been placed and 1t is expected that the iron standards will be delivered within a short time. The only delay that is anticipated IS in the delivery of the lead cables that will be placed in the cOndults carrying the wires to the standards. Should these arrive in time, the lights will be burning during fair week and the visitor arriving at night will be given an excellent inn pression Of the city from the first.

 SUNDAY MAIL
Rather, a Fuller Elucida- tion of How It Is Not Delivered. It's the Law of the Land, Not a Mere Regulation.

There is still considerable inquiry or misunderstanding concerning how one is to get his mail on Sunday since the new regulations effective September 1. The answer for most people is that they can't get it. There is no half way business about the closing of the postoffices They are closed and closed tight the former delivery hours at the windows being entirely elimin- ated. Mails are received and dispatched as usual on Sundays but there is no delivery to patrons save in two ex- captions.
 One of these exceptions is that mail addressed to hotels and newspapers is delivered to their boxes so it can be secured by the properly authorized persons, for it is sorted as usual when it arrives in the office. but by linn ited force of clerks. All mail except that for hotels and newspapers, is left in the cases over Sunday and placed in boxes or sent out by carriers. early Monday morning.
 The other exception is that of the special delivery letters. They are handled on Sunday the same as any
  livered propmtly in the event of its reaching it's destination on Sunday should equip 1t with a special delivery stamp before mailing it. This only costs a dime or a dollar for ten of them but a dollar isn't much and the government needs the money.
 There is just one more way in which one may secure the letter he knows will be in the office for him on Sun day and that is to leave memoran- dunn at the box window on Sunday, to- gether with the address and the name of the postoffice where he expects the letter will be mailed, attaching spec ial delivery stamp to the memorandum. If the letter comes and measures up with the data left, it will be delivered.
 Tn this connection it is proper to elucidate another misunderstanding for the benefit of those who do not like the new regulation. It has been erron- eously understood by a great many that this IS a project of Postmaster General Hitchcock either to curry faV- Or with those who insist on Sunday closing or to further economize the eX- pense of the department and perhaps add something to it's receipts through special delivery stamps and threats have been made by a number Of good democrats in this community who De- lieve that not only congress but the administration will be democratic after this year that this outrage will be squeIched. The truth is that the ad- ministration has nothing to do with 1t except to carry out the law. The new regulation is pursuant to an act of the democratic house of representatives and is a federal statute and not mere regulation by the postmaster general

FINE OUTLOOK
 IN yAVAPA| CO.
F. M. Murphy Who Tarried Here for a Day, Says Conditions in Northern Arizona Were Never More Flattering.

President F. Nj. Murphy of the s. F.. P & P railroad came down from P1 escott yesterday to confer with gentlemen arriving from Pinal county on the evening train, relative to min ing matters. He expects to return home again this morning.
 Mir. Murphy said he had nothing of particular and special interest to say at this time but he was as usual bubbling with enthusiasm over mat ters of general interest that should concern everybody in Arizona. He says conditions in northern Arizona, particularly Yavapai county, were never more promising.
 The mining business is undergoing d thorough reaWakening, he said. Many old properties that have been tied up for years or inactive on ac- count of conditions. are now being re ehabilitated or the preliminaries for active operations are under way He says people in this section do not seem to appreciate the magnitude of the potential wealth immediately to the north of them.
 The Salt River valley is blossoming with a prosperity that is peculiarly it's own and everybody is glad to see it but says MT Murphy, the valley folk are overlooking something in not lending greater encouragement to enterprises in the hill country. He says there should now be a busy and prosperous population of fifteen thou sand people in southern Yavapai county for the resources in mines, ranges and small farms are ample to sustain such a population It would not only be a fine thing for Yavapai county but equally as important to this valley for it would mean that much expansion of the home market.
 After discussing mines in general MT. Murphy spoke specifically of the development in Copper Basin, where the Phelps Dodge company has been doing a great deal of work in recent months. He says there is no question but that the company is opening up a regular bonanza property.

SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL.

Mrs. Pearl Rain was arrested
Wednesday on the charge of being
a vagrant and having no means of
support. She was found guilty Thurs
day in municipal court and was fined
$500 and $500 costs, in default OF the
payment of which she was sentenced
20 six days confinement in the county
Jail. Ella Westphal, the sixteen year
old girl who was the chief cause of
the investigation held in Juvenile
court recently, out of which developed
the trial and conviction of several
saloon keepers, was arrested at the
same time, on like charge, she hav-
ing refused to stay at home with her
parents. A hearing in her case was
held Friday morning and after hear
ing the testimony her father, Ferdin-
and Westphal, entered a complaint
to have her sent to the Industrial
school for girls at Milwaukee. Judge
Marchetti accordingly committed her
to that institution, and she was taken
there Saturday.

Extract from history of Wau-
sau written by Louis Marchetti and
published in the Saengerfest publ
cation in June, 1905, relating to our
city water works:
''To Mr.. John Ringle's administra-
ton belongs the credit of having
inaugurated this greatest public
improvement, which is still the
pride of the city. Many cities as
for instance Oshkosh, Appleton,
Ashland and others gave fran
chise for the construction Of water
works to private corporations at
about the same time that Wausau
constructed it's municipal works,
and everyone of the cities regrets
ever to have allowed the sale of
water to pass out of it's control. If
Mr.. Ringle had done nothing else
than to secure to the people of Wau-
sau the absolute control of its munic-
ipal water works he would be
entitled for that alone to the
grateful remembrance of the peo-
pie. The works were to be paid for
in bonds to the amount of $50, 900
and in cash $20,0
These works have proved bless
ing to Wausau. Not only are the
rates here lower than in any other
city, not excluding those who also
have municipal plants, but they
have brought net surplus to the
city for number of years, which
last year was $4,000 over and
above the operating expenses, be-
sides giving ample fire protection.
Mr.. John Ringle came to Wausau
with his parents in 1858, being then
IL years of age. He is product OF
the Wausau schools, having had
only one years instruction in the
university at Madison. He has
been county clerk and member OF
assembly for three terms, and sena-
ator for this district; also post.
master of Wausau from 1898 to
1897, and often a member of the
county board. In all these positions
he proved himself not only able
and competent but took leading
part. He was chairman of the
County Board which ordered the
building of the present Court House,
and mainly through his influence
/ favorable action was secured after
the resolution for the erection Of
the new building had been once
/ defeated. +"

LECTURE ON HEALTH.

DIR. H. w. Hill of Minneapolis, a
member of the Minnesota state board
of health, gave lecture on contag-
ious diseases in the circuit court room
of the court house Thursday evening,
before an audience that was not as
large as the subject spoken on would
merit. DIR. Hill was introduced to the
audience by G. d. Jones on behalf of
the Marathon County Medical society,
under whose auspices che lecture was
given. The speaker said that the
subject of public health was an all
important one, much more so than
contagious diseases. The principal
field to work in being among the chill
dren, SO that when these grow up
healthy and in good vitality, the fol-
lowing generation will be likewise.
He urged a close watch on the sani-
tary conditions of our schools, not
alone in the city, but in the country
as well, medical inspection of all
schools and the separation of such
children inflicted with disease from
the healthy ones. Further he adj
yised in being particular in keeping
the surroundings as well as the home
itself clean, likewise the body, as
through the coming in contact of diff
ferent persons diseases are spread
very rapidly. Expectorating on side
walks or on floors was very danger
Gus to health, many diseases being
carried about in that way, and no one
ever considering the fact. Also
through medium of the hands are
diseases brought into the system; they
come in contact with many things
during the day that may be germ
laden and transfer the germ to the
mouth. Impure water and milk
cause many a spread of disease. The
fight against the housetly should not
be given up or diminished, and the
access to outside toilets should be
made ching impossible for the fly.
Consumption, the speaker said, could
never be successfully coped with un-
less those afflicted with the disease are
confined in special living rooms; the
ideal method to eventually stamp out
the disease being sanitariums, where
to treat the patient and keeping him
from spreading the disease among
others. A discussion followed the
lecture and proved very interesting
to those present.

DISSOLVES PARTNERSHIP.

T,nos. II. Ryan has severed his con-
nection with the law firm of Ryan &
Runke at Merrill. Mr.. Ryan still re-
tains his interest in the Lincoln Farm
and Timber Co., but has disposed of
his interest in the II. r. Allen Co.
In reference to this business transac-
tion he is quoted to have said:
II will remain in Merrill but under
the conditions existing with the tre-
mendouS amount of detail work to be
done, | was unable to successfully
carry out the plans [ have in view,
and prefer to be away from those
duties. | will remain with the old
firm for possibly thirty or sixty days
and then rent a suite of offices"
Mr.. Ryan is a son of the late Thos.
c. Ryan of this city. Wausau was
his home until he went to Merrill and
he was graduated from our high
school.

WILL IT BE BUILT?

1t is rumored again that the st.
Paul Railway company is going to
build new round house this spring
and that the same will be located
near the Junction. This rumor has
been making the rounds for several
years past, blossoming out in spring
and fading away in fall, just like the
flowers in the garden. The railroad
company seems to need new house
for its locomotives, the fact being
that all winter long several of them
have been left in the open day and
night, but then the road officials per-
haps think that the kind that are
being run on this division need no
protection from the weather-they
being so old that nothing in the ex-
posure line can hurt them.

CONAN DOYLE'S NEW STORY.

Something new in romance-so ab-
solutely original that it will thrill the
most hardened novel reader! Such is
Conan Doyle's 'The Lost World"
Did you know that in the unex-
plored wilderness between the Andes
and the Amazon there still exist many
of the monster animals that walked
the earth before man was created ?
1t has remained for Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle-and the irascible Professor
Challenger-to discover this lost world
and take you right into it. How does
it feel to be chased by dinosaur as
big as house. or attacked by ptero-
dactyl as large as biplane? You
will know before you finish this fas-
cinating story, for the author makes
you see and believe. At the same
time you will learn more about the
prehistoric world than a dozen scien-
tifc treatises could tell you, for the
story makes you live in it.
The action is leisurely at first.
Don't let that deceive you. Chal-
lenger is terrific and captivating
hero, and when he gets away on his
expedition look out for danger un-
equaled in modern romance. The
story is told with the imagination of
Kipling or Jules Verne and the
mastery skill of the creator of Sher-
lock Holmes.

clusively in the Sunday Magazine OF
The Chicago Record Herald, begin

read it and enjoy a new sensation.

OCCURRENCES OF LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
CENTRAL THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO

There will be a dancing party at
Forest hall on the evening of Sept.
24th. Refreshments will be served at
the Bells restaurant.
There was great excitement in the
past week. 1t was caused by Andrew
Warren coming up from Chicago, and
trying to get new depot located in
the northern part of the city; but
Superintendent Wyatt of the Valley
Railroad, came up and settled mat
ters by placing it on the east of the
city, between Jackson and Washing
ton streets.

river has been let to G. c. Smith of
La Crosse.
The Misses Luticia and Ida Single
left this morning for Kemper Hall,
Kenosha. Messrs. Henry Single,
Will Scholfeld and the Misses Lizzie
Scholfield and Lizzie McCrossen left
for the Jefferson Institute. We dis
like to lose these amiable and es-
teemed young ladies and gentlemen
from our midst, but trust that they
will improve their time while under
the instruction of these Institutes, SO
as to be able to cope more success
fully with trials and struggles of this
life, and become lasting ornaments of
society.
Wausau has at last what she so
long needed-a large well appointed
and well arranged school house, one
we may be proud of. The building
was planned by T. H. Green of Fond
du Lac, and the builder was S, L.
Hayne of st. Louis. This is the
Humboldt building between Jefferson
