Yours truly; RICHARD WALDRON,
 District Secretary.
January !. 1912.

January ], 1912. MT ". II. Slaughter,
 Glendale. Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-I have your favor of December 21st relative to rates to apply to your city.
 I am enclosing herewith a report on your water system and fire de- partment, made up by our surveyor after an inspection in Glendale This inspection showed that the standpipe has q capacity of only 20,000 gallons and will give but very little pressure in the mains The pumping capacity is fifty gallons per minute; there is no duplication of pumping machinery and the system was subjected to the Interruptions usual where gasoline engine is used for motive power The amount of hose is limited, there being but 300 feet of 2h inch fire hose
 I would advise that the system is so far below standard, that we are unable to recognize it by making a l reduction in fire insurance rates. For your information I would ad- wise that single standard fire stream will throw 25O gallons of wa l ter per minute; that in order to be ! effective for fighting fire, this water must be delivered from a sufficient ! pressure so that water will reach 1 the fire from some little distance. 1 We consider that standard press ure should be not less than so l pounds to the square inch l Where pumping machinery is used, l all such machinery should be in du- l plcate and should have sufficient capacity to supply the domestic con- sumption, and in addition, give the number of standard fire streams re- l quired.
 The pumping station should be so located that it will not be in danger from fire in other buildings.
 The standpipe should have ca pacity for ten hours supply for both fire fighting and domestic purposes provided same is to be considered in | the make up of fire insurance credits
 Other features to which considera tion is given, are duplicate supply mains, to distributing system, suf- ficient number of hydrants for botf mercantile and residence section sufficient amount of hose so that the water available can be thrown or fire, hose carts, chemicals, method of giving fire alarms, and the or. ganization of fire department Yours truly, SURVEYOR IN CHARGE.

RECORD BREAKING TIME
 NEW YORK ID PHOENIX
Metropolitan Paper Delivered to Phoenix Subscriber Just Three
 Days After Publication.

Schupler $. Moore received in his postofnce box carly yesterday morn ing copy of a New York news paper to which he subscribes. Moth ing remarkable about that except that the paper was in the hands of it's Phoenix subscriber just three dtys after it came tumbling from inc press in the metropolis.
 This is believed to be a record breaking delivery for second, or any other class of mail matter and is faster than the trip could possibly ba made by an individual travelling "n the fastest regul1r trains now i'll service.
 The answer lies in the use of very fast mail trains on the first half of the journey At two o'clock every morning one of these trains, which carries no passengers leaves New York over the Pennsxlvania lines. The run to St Louis is made in just tventy-four hours There close con nections are made with another fast mail for Kansas City which city is reached about nine o'clock ond the morning of the second day
 At Kansas City another extremely close connection is made with Rock Island train No. which puts the eastern mail into Phoenix carly on the morning of the third day
 of course to accomplish this feat all connections must be caught. and every train be on schedule time. but line feat is nevertheless a remarkaD.e one. and ii our grandfltfers coul1 witness the bringing of Phoenix with in scVcnty-tWo hours of New York their eyes would surely pop

The last week OF the campaign
finds the Republican party fighting
feebly and the Bull Moose party fight

on in conscious strength to victory.
The situation results from both
politics and popular sentiment
The truth il the Republican and
Bull Moose organizations are hang
ing together by but thread, and the
Democrats are more strongly united
than in any national campaign OF a
generation, are more strongly united
than in any State campaign since

I'm sad but loving remembrance of our dea
daughter and sister, Grace 9. Zepp, who departed
this life one year ago today. October 20. 1911.
A loved one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
place is vacant in our home.
Which never can be filled.
BY HER LOVING MOTHER.
Dear sister can it be that,
Thou has gone and left us here,
B1t GGd thought It best to take.
BY HER LOVING SISTERS A. B. AND iii. GLOVER.
One mournful year has vanished,
Think i, while the tear drops start,
But the memory of my dear sister,
Still IS fresh within my heart
When the angels brought the message,
That my dear sister must go,
None but brothers who have lost one,
Could our grief and sorrow know.
We miss you my precious sister oh so much.
You whom we loved SO well
How much We dearly loved you.
No one but God can tell.
But dear sister art thou gone,
Forever from our sight?
Shall we no more thy face behold,
so cheerful and SO bright?
And is your voice forever hushed,
That one we loved to hear?
Oh no. we think we hear it now
Still sounding in our ears.
Soon we will have crossed the river.
There to meet you once again,
When with Christ to live forever.
Free from sorrow. care and pain.

In loving remembrance tof my dear fathe
Francis b Yingling, who departed this life on
year ago. November Q, 1911.
You are not forgotten father dear,
Nor will you ever be-
Fer as long as life or memory last
will remember thee.
Dearest father, how miss you,
Since from earth you passed away;
And my heart il aching sorely,
a. think OF YOU each day.
Nobly at hi post he fell,
Our father dear 10 kind and true;
Beloved by all his friends 50 well,
And kind to all he knew.
Have you father, love him well
While he is spared on earth;
Wait not till death shall call him home
To know his precious worth.
Once our home was bright and happy,
Oh how sad and dreRry today,
For our dear loving father
Has forever passed away.
