SAN XAVIER ID
 BE DUPLICATED
Resolution to Make Arizona Building Replica of the Famous Tucson Mission Unanimously EndOrs ed by Board of Trade

If the present plans of the Phoenix beard of trade are accepted. the Arizona building-if any is provided at the San Francisco exposition in 1915, will be constructed as a replica Of the old Cathedral of San Xavier ac Tucson. At the meeting of the board of directors last evening, res oiution was adopted unanimously winch will be presented to the Pan anna Pacific exposition commission for Arizona with the request that they do all in their power to bring Q bout the adoption of the plan.
 The cathedral of San Xavier at Tucson is of an architecture typical of the early history of the state. If such a building is erected at San Francisco, and there is every reason to believe the idae of such a building will attract the com as much as it has the hoard of trade, such a structure will be unique in its architecture attract iVeness and will have a great drawing effect on the tourist and sightseers at the exposition.
 There is another feature to this that must not be overlooked and that is the demonstration of cOrdiality and oneness of spirit in the work for a bigger and better Arizona that is being carried on by both Phoenix and Tucson. This action in common with the great automobile tuOr which will take place next week will have the effect of drawing the two largest cities of the state more closely to- Gether than anything that has hap pened in years. It is understood that Tucson is heartily in favor of an Arizona building, modelled after San Xavier. The old mission of the Fran c.scan fathers is still in an excellent
 state of preservation and is one of the sights to be seen by every tour ist who comes to the southwest There are thousands of tourists talk ing the northern route who never see the southwest To those, the old mission will be taken by the
 simpl but efficient means of dup Heating it at the big exposition. The next move will be to see that tine
 proper sort of an exhibit fills the
 building.

PRELIMINARY
 CONFERENCE
Cattle Men Hold Informal Conference With Corpor- atiOn Commission to Get Ready for Big Hearing Again

A number of the prominent cattle men of Arizona met in informal con ference with the members of the Arizona corporation cOmission yes terday afternoon in the office of the commission and discussed the live stock rate hearing that is to be held today, and which involves all the rates on all classes of live stock shipped from Arizona points to Ari- zOna points.
 A lengthy schedule of rates has been prepared for the hearing by Secretary Smith of the commission and these will be under discussion at the hearing today. Prior to the con structiOn of the proposed rates by the secretary a number of complaints were received by the commission to the effect that the railroads had in haul, sent shipments over long route. with the result that the shippers had to pay a great deal more than they would have done had the cat tie been sent over the most direct route.
 IL is claimed for the opponents for the proposed rates that it will make no difference if the new rates are put into effect as far as the long haul is concerned the state commission can give no relief as in most cases the long haul in this section has made an interstate shipment of nearly every consignment It is. however. claimed for the schedule that if the short haul rate is in effect and is less than the other one. which is sure tC be the case, the corporation cOmmis- sion can through it's reparatiOn claims department force the railroads to re fund to the shipper that amount over and above what would have beer charged had the short haul been used in the first case.
 Thus it is claimed there will be nc more attempts to ship cattle from Flagstaff to Douglas round by way oI Albuquerque N. NJ, and Fl Paso Texas, nor will there be a disposition to send cattle from Kingman to Yuma by way of Barstow, California. There are not many of these cases. in fact before the opening of the hearing none have been cited. but it has beer claimed that this was done. If thu claim is true will be demonstrated by the hearing. doubtless.
