Los ANGELES BOOSTERS
ARE TO VISIT PRESCOTT

regard our Boosters excursion
TO Arizona Sunday as one Of the
most profitable ever run by the
Chamber OF Commerce" said Secre.
tary Virgins yesterday. Every
year more than 10000 Arizonans
come here to pass the summer. They
spend their money in Los Angeles
and at adjacent beach points. Now
Is chance to reeiprocate and help
build up trade with our neighbors.
This State fair. to be held in
Phoenix from the 18th inst. until
November 2. is one OF the annual
attractions Of Arizona and IL alone
is well worth attending. In addition
the Chamber of Commerce Is offer.
ing a side trip to Grand Canyon"
A letter was sent to the members
Of the chamber of commerce urging
them to go on the excursion.
Among the arguments advanced in
the letter arc. the following:
Have you any trade in Arizona,
II so Is IL not to your advantage to
send one Of your representatives on
the Chamber Of Commerce trip! Get
acquainted with your patrons and
make new ones.
IF you have no trade in that sec
ton. don't you think 1t would be TO
your advantage to send some one
along TO secure certain amount OF
liz,
THE residents of Arizona com.
plain that Los Angeles does not
show them the courtesies IL should
for the amount Of trade and travel
sent us yearly.
This excursion of the Chamber
was arranged at the request of the

the business interests"
II seems that FL Paso is keeniy
alive TO the constantly increasing
trade in the new State and a short
time ago the FL Paso Chamber OF

Texans by joining the present Glad
Hand" party.

SORROW AND GRIEF MANIFESTED IN
 CITY COURT ROOM

Sobs and signs filled the city court room this morning. Lena Beck and Nellie Burke, the two young girls who ran away to Detroit, Mich, where they were later arrested with two men, were before Judge Carl and Nellie on the charge of being 1n- corrigible. During the recital of their stories the quiet atmosphere of the room was punctured with fre- Quent sobs and signs and when Judge Foster sentenced both to the House of the Good Shepherd at Hartford, a re- form school for girls, there was much weeping and great lamentation on the part of the girls as we'll as their par ents who were in court.
 After the court session was over Lena's father and Nellie's mother, hurried around to get bonds, intend ing to appeal the cases. Both needed $500 to bail out their wilful children.
 Lena told her story in voice that was choked with sobs. She said that she had taken $21 from Mrs. Rose Lovenbein, who conducted a restaur- ant and had enticed the Burke girl to go away with her. Lena's father said that he considered the Burke girl as much to blame as his daugh- ter and that when the money was stolen the Burke girl watched that noone came while his daughter stole it from the drawer. Lena denied however, that the Burke girl knew anything about the theft until they were both on the train and then she told the Burke girl where she had secured the money
 Nellie said that she stayed away from her home because her mother made her work and was cranky with her. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney William Redden told the court that he thought the Reck girl should be sent to the House of the Good Sheo- herd. He thought that perhaps the Burke girl would behave herself bet ter if given a chance. Judge Foster considered that the Burke girl was in need of more discipline and a home
 minus a cranky mother. He there fore adjudged her guilty of the charge against her and sentenced both girls to the reform school.

Murphy secretary of the New York Printing Pressmen's Union No. 51; and Hugh Reed, president of the Inside Electrical Workers Union.
 Father Evers declared that social- ism was not only an evil but men ace to the workingmen, and that while men move in days and weeks the church moves in centuries. He said that this was the greatest labor move ment of the times and that the church was back of the men in their efforts to obtain a clear recognition of their rights as well as responsibilities.
 The, priest put the blame for much of labor dissatisfaction and distrust on ignorant agitators who smoke ex- pensive cigars, eat the finest foods and travel in all the luxury designed to relieve the tedium of a journey, and all at the expense of the work ingman.''
 s'Education of the labor classes would soon put an end to the labor agitator,'' he declared. "And educa- tion would soon dispose of a system that seeks to place all men on the same level As well ordain that all men shall be six feet in height, and not one five feet that all men shall be equally learned, and that none shall dig our sewers, build our rail- ways. but all live the life of ease with dignity.''

PUBLIC OPINION
GIVE THE CITY ITS
 BUILDING CODE.
Editor of The Farmer:

Editor of The Farmer:
 What is the reason that prevents the City of Bridgeport from having its Building Code, for which it paid the sum of $3,500 to the Commis- sioners who prepared it?
 This Code was submitted to emin- ent authority and declared to be one of the best that has appeared for a city the size of Bridgeport It Is undoubtedly good, thorough and up- city should have and work to.
 It would not please everybody, in fact the five commissioners who pre- pared it often disagreed, and in such case the majority ruled. Some would say that the code is too stringent, others that it is too lax, but telen all in all, 1t is a good, woGA afie building code, and the respol sai ility for holding it back should be oeter- mined.
 It is up to the mayor and Common Council to give the city it's building code. At present in this regard the city is in deplorable state. There are some antiquated rules of which no copies are to be obtained, so that the entire matter is practically in the hands of the building commissioners to do as they please.
 Will MT. DeForest take the code from the pigeon-hole, brush off the dust and put a little energetic action into the matter and get it before the Board of Aldermen, and thus put the machinery in motion for giving to the city of Bridgeport what it most urgently needs-a good building code?

ROOSEVELT SEIzES
 HIS MIGHTY PEN
Busy Today Inditing Refutation of Much of ArchbOld
 Testimony

Oyster Bay, Aug. 26-Colonel Roose- welt today was busy on letter to Senator Clapp in which he will em- body the refutation of John D. Arch bold's testimony that the Colonel hoped today to give under oath to the Senate investigating committed. Fresh from conference with George B. Cortelyou and William Loeb, Jr., which was apparently highly pleasing to all three, Colonel Roosevelt was in fine shape today, but was most em- phatic when he talked of the refusal of the Senate committee to hear hh5 testimony today.
 Roosevelt's formal reply to Arch bold,S which he will send to Senator Clapp, and which, it was said, might not be completed in the course of the day, was expected sharply to criticise the members of the committee for al- lowing Archbold to get away to Eur ope and not testifying more fully.
 There was much political specula- tion as to the meaning of Loeb's visit to Sagamore Hill. He is Taft ap- pointee and for a year has been Ion the fence as to the Colonel's candi- dacy
 With his letter to Senator Clapp out of the way, Roosevelt planned to turn his attention to preparation for his three-day Vermont trip, which was scheduled to begin Wednesday after noon.

YOU'LL PAY LESS FOR TT
 AT KLINE'S
LARGEST PRODUCTION
 OF FLUoRSPAR. Output for 1911 Greatest Ever Rec- orded-SIore Than so Per Cent. f Used in Steel Industry.

Last year the total quantity of do- snestic fluorspar reported to the United States Geological Survey as marketed in the United States was 8T.o4s short tons, valued at $611, ,447, compared with 69,427 short tons, valued at s430,196, in 1910, an in- crease in quantity of 17,621 short tons and in value of $1S1,251. The pro- Auction in 1911 was the largest ever recorded. 69,825 short tons of domes- lie gravel spar, valued at $420,923, heinz marketed against 52,013 short Eons, valued at s2S2,561, in 1910. The high satisfactory condition of the kluorspar industry in 1911 was due largely to the ability of American nroducers to meet the demand more duce a better and more uniform grade of gravel spar than can be obtained tby importation.
 z FIuorspar Is found in crystals, gen. orally cubical. in color ranging from h clear slightly bluish or green glass like tint through various other bril- liant coIors to dark purple, although much of it is white and opaque. As eociated with other minerals, fluor- spar has a broad distribution, but deposfts of workable size are not abundant. the deposits thus far ex- bloited in the United States being found only in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Illinois, Ken lucky, Tennessee, and New Hamp- Ef1ire.
 FTuorspar is used in the manufac- lure of glass and of enameled and eanitary ware, the electrolytic refining pf antimony and lead, the production of aluminium, the manufacture of hydrofluoric acid, and in the iron and steel industries, where it is used as a fIux in blast furnaces and in basic bpen-hearth steel furnaces. It is esti- mated that about 80 per cent. of the American f1uorspar output, mainly in the form of gravel spar, is consumed en the manufacture of basic open hearth steel. The use of f1uorspar is increasing in practically all these in- dustries.
 A. copy of the report on the pro- fuction of f1uorspar and cryolite in t1s13, by Ernest F. Burchard, just is- 6ued by the Geological Survey, may Ebe obtained on application to the Di- Sector at Washington, D. c.
