ANOTHER RATE
 HEARING CALLED
Corporation Commi ssion Seeks to Institute New and Lower Rates on State Shipments of Live Stock

Among the important hearings called by the corporation commission for the month of January is that re- garding the rates charged by all the railroad companies on shipments of livestock within the state. A table
 of rates has been prepared by Sec retary Smith which will be introduce ed as evidence at the hearing, and which it is claimed will not only give relief to shippers of cattle to inter state points, and at the same time be compensatory to the defending companies.
 The table setting forth the rates is quite lengthy and intricate. and gives not only rates on full shipments but rates on per hundred pounds of | weight, prescribes minimum weight and dimensions of the cars and the number of cattle for each car. The hearing is called for January | 10 at 10 o'clock in the morning. l Copies of the order and the proposed rates were sent out yesterday to all
 roads operating in Arizona.
 | The proposed rates are figured for l all classes of live stock. cattle and i calves being placed in one class, sleep and goats in another. hogs ir | d class by themselves. and horses and mules in a class. The rates are l also figured largely upon the same 1 system as other freight when what 1 is known as the per ton mile is used
 1 In the table which was made a l part of and accompanied the order
 the distances are figured from five
 miles to $50 miles. rates applicable l on shipments over one line of rail- road, or over two or more lines | which are either directly or indirect Iy under the control of the same | management control or ownership.
 An additional rate is provided for | transportation of carloads or less than car loads over two or more lines | rot under the same management con trol or ownership, and is found by adding to the rates made in the l table two and a half cents per hun
 d1ed for two lines. five cents per
 hundred for three lines, and seven
 cents for four
 The amount of york necessary to get up the table of rates can be
 better imagined when it is shown
 that the smallest distance a car ol
 cattle can be hauled is five miles
 and the rate is placed at s11. Goats
 for this distance cost $S, hogs $50 and horses sI150 These are the
 minimum figures given while the
 maximum for the $50 miles is $8910
 for cattle, s70.4O for sheep s73.10
 eor hogs, and $102.35 for horses.

HUNDRED FIRE
 AYDRANTS HERE
Modern Pattern Equipment for Fire Protection Now On Hand and Being In stalled By. a Novel Method.

One hundred modern pattern fire hydrants nave arrived in Phoenix and
 the work of installing these in dis
 tricts heretofore more or less lack
 ing in fire protection has been begun
 by City Water Superintendent, V. A
 Thompson. It is estimated that in-
 side of two months the entire ship
 inert will have been properly in
 stalled and that then Phoenix can
 lay claim to being one of the best
 protected cities in the southwest.
 The new shipment of fire hydrants
 was made up of 30 six inch connec-
 tions. while the remaining seventy
 were four inches in size. The six
 inch hydrants are designed for the
 business district, while the smaller
 hydrants will be installed in the out
 lying residential districts. Either will
 afford an abundant stream for the
 localities for which they are intend
 ed and will allow of fire engine con- nection in either instance.
 The first of the new hydrants to be installed was placed at Twenty First avenue and Adams street. Others are now located at Twentieth Twenty First and Twenty -Ssecond avenues on Jefferson street, while Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty Second avenues on Adams have also been supplied. Other hydrants al ready installed are those a Third street and Washington, Third street and Jefferson street; Fifth avenue and Washington street, Fourth and Van Buren streets and Adams and Fourth streets.
 Tn the congested business district where there is now but one hydrant at an intersection an additional hy- drant will be installed on the diag- onal corner of the intersection giving that much additional protection to l those sections. It is confdentally be- 1 ieved that the improvement to the protection service will attract favor able attention from the fire under writers and that there may soon be an additional benefit from a reduc- l tion in rates on specific risks.
 | In installing the new hydrants a l novel method is being employed by | Superintendent Thompson. He has secured a modern tapping machine. through the use of which the con-
 nections may be effected without | shutting off the water. A clamp is Elaced about the main to be tapped, this clamp having valve arrange inent which prevents the water from | filling the excavation hole IS ] drilled in the side of the main. the

OPINION FAVORS
 . STARTING AGAIN
Phoenix Gone too Far Not to Soon Enjoy Benefits That Come from Com mission Form of Govern ment.

The action of Governor Hunt in re- jecting the proposed charter for the city of Phoenix, which he did in a letter setting forth his reasons on Saturday, has not ceased to provoke a great deal of comment from the citizens and taxpayers of the city. It is the common opinion that steps should be taken immediately to per feet the arrangements whereby a charter can be adopted by the city that will meet the approval of the chief executive of the state.
 In speaking of the matter Colonel L. w COggins, who was a member of the bard of freeholders known as the charter commission, said: Tt is in- deed regrettable that our charter did not meet the appreciation of the gov ernor. 1 am sure the men who were on the commission had but little idea that it would be rejected, and that they gave the best that was in them in the hope they would provide a charter for Phoenix that would be acceptab ble. In view of what has Oc- cured 1 am in favor of starting anew as soon as possible. The mat ter has gone so far that Phoenix can not afford to be without commits sion form of government"
 J. Fred CleaVeland, in speaking of the matter, said: 'I am in favor of drafting a charter that will meet the approval of the governor I do not believe it will take as long as the other one did, neither do 1 think it will be such a great task
 Councilman McElroy, in referring to the proposition, said: T am em- phatically in favor of starting anew. We need the commission form of government for Phoenix and need it badly. I believe steps should be taken at once to call for another board to formulate a charter that will meet the approval of Governor Hunt We know now wherein the other charter was defective, and think Phoenix is sufficiently progres- sive to profit by the mistakes of the past"

MUNICIPAL FOREST GROWING.

It is rather novel experiment for a municipality to go into the forestry business on a large scale as Montpelier proposes to do by planting seedlings on thirty acres of land about Berlin pond; but it is likely to turn out as profit able investment. given time.
 The initial cost of the experiment, the land being at the municipality s disposal. is not great. and the care of the growing trees will not impose any greater outlay. the trees really taking care of themselves: but the results in the reforested area will be entirely out of proportion to such combined ex- nense. for timber is valuable now and is bound to be more valuable by the time these trees have reached a suffi- ciert size Therefore Montpelier will realize good returns on the experiment and at the same time it will be utiliz- ing land which otherwise would lie idle or grow up to useless accumulations of plant life Moreover, the example which the municipality is setting may be of value in that it will encourage the re- forestation of other tracts of land ir the vicinity.
 Other Vermont communities which have idle land would find it 9 good in vestment to set out seedlings now and let nature work for them in growing trees Such efforts would counteract in part the devastaeion of the forests which is constantly going on in Yer mont.-Borre, Vt, Times.

With the use of thls machine, it will also be possible to install the hydrants in the down town district with the minimum or damage to pavement and cement curbingS.
 Business men and househoiders alike are well pleased with steps Superintendent Thompson is taking to give them adequate fire protection When the work is completed there will be comparatively few houses in Phoenix distant more than 45O feet from a hydrant, distance which IS easily covered in the laying of hose.

New Animals Discovered by Curator

other species known as fox sparrow.
The natural history work of the ex-
petition was under the charge of Mr..
Hollister: He paid especial attention,
however, to the mammals, four of
which he describes-a chipmunk. q
manteled ground squirrel and two
bats. All the specimens came from
the neighborhood of Mt. Robson,
which lies in the wild and unexplored
parts of British Columbia, at about
14,500 feet elevation.
The chfpmunk is new species, a1d
all the specimens of it come from the
region along the boundary line he
tween British Columbia and Alberta,
from Yellowhead Pass northward. The
ground squirrel is beautifully mark
ed and highly colored form Of the &C.
nus, and was found living in the
alpine meadows and rocks Of the
snow-covered region above timber line.
The head and shoulders are rich
and glossy Mars brown, and the sides
are marked by conspicuous lateral
stripes.
While the two new species Of bats
resemble some we'll known forms, ex-
ternally they are quite distinct and
readily distingufshable by the shape Of
the skull. One of them curiously
enough, most resembles 4 species
known only from Mexico.

item of we'll cooked food is generally
considered the most important of all.
Miss Dorothy B. Scott, assistant
registrar of the school, explains that
newlyweds will be taught all the diet

make young men forget the cooking of
their mothers.
She also says the hours of instruc-
ton will be so arranged that they
will not interfere with the home life

probably will take place in the after
