Our Symbolic Dads.

From the American Tailor and Gutter.
Art music and poetry have in all agea
been considered the polite arts, but what
is art without the proper portrayal Of
the dress Of the age that 1t seeks to
represent? What il music that does not
bring inspiration from the masters of
the past who were clothed IN the power
to give US giimpses Of men and ideals
Of whom the only lasting impression can
be gained by the form our imaSinations
give to them? And our imaginations
clothe them in robes in which their Gre
ators sent them out on their errands of
giving the world higher ideals. Then
what IL poetry but thought clothed in
words? No matter from what side view
ed. the figure Of speech of clothing 10 the
symbolic key that gives entrance to
these higher realms. and therefore why
shoald not clothes themselves touch the
hem Of the garments Of the arts. with
which they are 20 closely in touch?

NEW RESERVOIR BASIN.
Water Supply VIII Re Increased by
improvements Almost Completed.

washington's water supply is being
greatly increased by the construction OF
the sedimentation basin in a part Of
the old Georgetown Reservoir on the
Conduit Road.
The Washington Aqueduct once has
constructed a dam across the entire
length of the receiving basin and deep
ened this portion of the reservoir. The
sides of the dam and slopes have been
paved with granite and concrete. and the
entire bottom Of approximately 1900
square yards has been filled over with
cement.
When this sedimentation basin Is in
operation, which will be within a few
days, through the installation Of the
very l-test methods by the government
engineers, the mud and sediment in the
water as taken from the Potomac will
be precipitated and will undoubtedly be
a great benefit to the water supply.
The work is under the direction Of Col
Langfitt of the United States Engineers
Office, and recently has been completed
by the Davis Construction Company.

BURNELL MAKES
 VERY CLEVER CAPTURE.
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Deputy Sheriff Frank Burnell of Seligman performed a neat piece of criminal work on the main line of the Santa Fe on Monday morning at an early hour, while going over the road with a prisoner in GUS. tody, when he effected the capture of a Mexican who was very much wanted for the alleged theft of sev- eral hundred dollars in pay checks of the Santa Fe Company.
 Going through the train the of fcer observed the Mexican handling several time checks, one of which later was presented to the conduct or in payment of car fare. It was drawn in favor of a certain employe for the sum of $10l35, while the holder of the paper said it was good for $l0. Going through the pockets of the Mexican, Deputy Burnell re- covered the other checks, and which were returned to the owners, who are employed on the Needles divis- ion of the line.
 These checks had been missing for several weeks, and had not this officer been keenly on the lookout constantly and at all hours of the day and night, the dozen railroad men interested, would have lost the sums each were entitled to receive The Mexican was placed in jail at Ash Fork, and later will be brought to this city. How he came into possession of the checks will be in vestigated later. Deputy Burnell is the recipient of congratulations from the many interested for his capable detective work.

Fred C.

Sur face indications for developing a supply of oil are far more attractive than where the first we'll was drilled and the purpose is to explore that point to great depth.
 MT. Evans comes to the country from Bakersfield, California, and is rated as a practical driller. He states that the rigs of the Tempe Verde and the Yuma-Verde are now in operation on the Middle Verde, about ten miles above the holdings of his company.

HE SHOT MEXICAN
 TOPROTECT WOMEN
Man Running Amuck With Knife Is Wounded by Section Foreman
 At P. & E. Junction.
From Fridays Daily.)

This character of a wound resulted from the bullet being "soft nose, ,' and striking rib split into two parts.
 After Gonzales fell to the ground the knife was removed from his per son, and was found to have a razor edge. During the trouble and while Minor was endeavoring to get his Winchester into action, a Mexican friend of Gonzales attempted to in terfere with Minor using his gun, but fortunately another Mexican came to his assistance and the wea- pon was brought into play. Con zales' friend immediately left the section house and went into hiding nearby. He will be arrested today and brought to the county jail. The opinion is freely expressed that had not Minor appeared on the scene at the time, there was strong prob ability of a bloody tragedy being enacted at that place, as Gonzales was not only abusive, but was wield- ing his knife in a treatment man ner. He was brought to the county hospital yesterday afternoon and is said to be dangerously wounded

FINEST PIECE OF
 ROADWAY IN THE STATE

What is pronounced the finest piece of roadway in Yavapai county, is now completed from Prescott to the Commercial mining camp in Copper Basin. The old grade has been practically rebuilt, and with the change of routes affected, in evading the old hills that were tor tuous to ascend, and intervened be- tween this city and the basin, the journey going and coming may be made with that ease and rapidity that is a radical change from con ditions prevailing for so many years.
 The new highway, in short, is veritable boulevard, and with the scenic attractions for the twelve miles, it is doubtful if there is a strip of country in the state that presents the allurements of this route, or one in which comparison in road building can be advanced. It reflects the wisdom of applying pub lie funds to a coming mining center, as we'll will it be a relief to the farmers of Skull, Kirkland, Fergu- son, Peoples, Thompson, Walnut Grove and other outlying sections to have within their grasp, such an attractive means of reaching this city and other communities.
 In a few weeks Skull Valley will be tapped, which will only add to the attractiveness of vehicle travel to and from that locality.

 The Christmas tree, a gift of the Episcopal church with the beautiful decorations furnished by the Busi- ness Girls Club, scarcely more than held its own with the table beside it, piled with dolls, guns and toys of all descriptions donated by generous hearted citizens.
 Mrs. Keller was mistress of cere- monies. A short program preced- ed the entrance of Santa Claus and then the fun began. Good order pre- vailed in spite of the crowded con dition and by 8:30 even the absent little ones had been remembered and the happy children were filing out in line to receive the candy and ap- ples awaiting them on the porch, a pleasant ending to the Christina. charities of Prescott.

According to statements made by several eye witnesses, the shooting of a Mexican named Reyes Con- zales by J. H. Minor, at P. & E. railroad junction on Christmas night was a justifable act, and had not Minor acted with decision and promptness it is the belief of many at that place there was a strong probability of the Mexican inficting serious injury on others at that time.
 Leading up to the action of Minor, 1t is said the Mexican had threaten ed to kill several women at the sec ton house, and while in an intoxi- cated condition drew a large knife with an eight inch blade, and at tempted to carry out his cowardly purpose. These women appealed to Minor, the section foreman for help, and the latter grabbed his thirty three special Winchester, and fired one shot, at Gonzales, as he was wandering around the house some distance away. The bullet struck him in the right side of the back, and passed through his body, in flicting two large wounds at the exit.

EGG PRICES WILL TAKE
 SLUMP AFTER FIRST

Contrary to the usual holiday slo- gan, egg buyers would do well to wait until after the New Year to purchase their winter supply of hen fruit, especially of the storage va riety for cooking and domestic use.
 A crash in storage eggs is expect ed January which will surpass the famous egg incident involving Humpty Dumpty's fall from the wall and grace at the same time. Fe- male poultry like the human of their sex, have proved hckle this winter and have upset the best laid plans of egg men throughout the country. Instead. of there being a shortage of eggs, as was the case last year, the open winter in the east and north :, plus the overproduction of the industrious hen, has caused a surplus in the market. Eggs that were bought for $650 a case in the fall and stored, may now be pur- chased for S5.40 a case, making a dead loss of the dealer of S1.10 per case, plus the cost of storage until January 1, which is the time limit on most winter storage orders.
 Storage eggs may go as low as 20 cents dozen on the local mar ket, the marketmen say, and predict ions of Is cents are being made in the Kansas City, St. Louis and New York markets. The dealers say that these storage eggs are almost the equal of the high priced ranch eggs, which sell for cents each, 60 cents a dozen
 The reason the market is expect ed to go to pieces in eggs on Janu- ary is that the time limit of most winter storage contracts expires at that time. Rather than pay addit- ional storage and take a chance of the Texas eggs coming into the market fresh from the nest after January l, wholesalers and commis- sion men throughout the country are expected to dump the storage eggs on the market. This would cause the dealers to lose heavily as the result of the dropping of the bottom out of the egg market. It is estimated that the total loss on the egg market will reach S1,000,000 throughout the country.
 The total number of eggs in stor- age, as given by the market reports, IS 4,246,o32 cases. Each case con- tains 90 dozen eggs, making a total of 1,544,535,4SO eggs.

NEW COMPANY TO

 The Hayes Land and Cattle Com pany of Coalinga, California, has closed negotiations for taking over 800 acres of land in Peoples valley, with several hundred head of cattle included, owned by Joseph, William, John, c. M D. and T. Akard, all brothers. The payment of the heavy sum has been made.
 The above firm is also negotiating for the land and cattle interests in that locality owned by Messrs. Evans, Jaycox, Bishop and DeAr- mond, which embrace over 800 acres and many head of cattle. As soon as title is perfected, this sale will be consummated also. The ad- vent of this wealthy firm in that sec ton, is the forerunner of large range operations and extensive fruit cul- ture is the report in corculation. One of the largest apple orchards in the state is to be cultivated, while the storing water in a reser- voir for retaining the land is also contemplated.
 The Akard Brothers are said to have received nearly S50,000 for their property. They leave that section after a continuous residence of over thirty-hve years, all being boys when they first settled there

OF
 POLITICAL FENCES
Latest Story Going the Rounds The Cause of Much Discussion
 And Speculation.

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec 26-Mark Smith, federal judge; Sidney Os- born, governor; George w. F. Hunt, United States senator. This is a piece of political gossip going the rounds in Arizona that is causing more discussion, more amazement, more speculation, than any story cir culated within recent years.
 Briefly the story is this: Senator Smith is to go after the office of federal judge for the district of Arizona. If he succeeds-and there is scarcely democrat in the state who does not think that he will Governor George Hunt will immedi- ately resign Secretary of state Sidney Osborn will become gover- nor automatically and appoint Hunt to fill Smiths unexpired term in the senate.
 "It sounds so gol darn plausible that one almost has to believe it, said one prominent democrat in dis cussing the story.
 So far the rumor lacks conhrma- ton. The very ingenuity of the story is what causes it to be reeciv- ed with such wide interest
 The berth of federal judge would be a most comfortable one for Mark Smith. The salary is %5O0 a year and the incumbent is retired on full pay when he reaches the age of 70 | Smith is well along toward 65.

 This syndicate owns the well known Tomboy group, and from former exploitation was rated as an attractive property, in copper val ues particularly. The main shaft had reached a depth of about 400 feet, when operations were suspend ed.

paigning for the office since he be- came secretary of state.
 There is another circumstance that makes the story sound striking ly plausible. This is that Eugene S. Ives, of Tucson. wants to go to the senate just as badly as Hunt does, and believes that the governor will be an easier man to beat in 1914 than Smith would be. Smiths term in the senate expires March 4, 1915.
 In 1911 Ives campaigned for the senate but lost the nomination to Mark Smith Naturally he thinks that Smith is pretty strong.
 Whether Hunt will be easier for Ives to beat is a question on which opinions vary widely, but it is under stood on the best of authority that Ives takes that view.
 Ives May Help Smith.
 Ives was the first member of the Arizona delegation at Baltimore, which was instructed for Champ Clark, to go over to Wilson. For this reason it is assumed that Ives will have something to say about the way federal patronage is distri- buted in the new state under the new administration. If he chooses, Ives can do a great deal to assist Smith to the federal bench and thus eliminate him permanently from the political game.
 This little story has created con sternation and unrest among the various applicants for the office of federal judge. They feel pretty sure that if Mark Smith, with the friend ships he has formed during a quart CT of century at Washington wants the office he can have it. Most of ikem would withdraw in his favor if he came out openly as an aspirant
