Why People Have Confidence in the
 Bic Curio Store

This is the kind of weather that | turns the mind of the tourist as well l as the householder to Navajo blank
 cts. And once they come to think of ! it the next theing they think of is Bdlke's Big Curio store, the recog
 lized headquarters in the whole southwest for Navajo blankets that arc not only genuine but are the best blankets the Navajos make. Tho record of the long years, the quarter ot century, the Bis CuriO store has been in business with respect to Navajo blankets is q clear one In all that time not a blanket was sold that was not genuine; that was not made by the Indians of native wool prepared by them in the manner of their ancestors It is therefore not tc be wondered at that buyers of blankets should flock to the Big Gu rio store as they are doing.
 For a quarter of century the Big Curio Store has had standing offer ci S1,0O0 to any one who will show that an Indian blanket sold by the Fig Curio Store was not a genuine Indian blanket. There has also been and is vet standing offer to buy back at any time any blanket sold by the Big Curio Store at the price paid for it.
 Neither of these propositions has ever been presented to the Big Curio Store and in all this time. the store has never taken back but one blanket that 1t has sold and that was not at the instance of the purchaser. who yielded only after frequent soIicita- tion and returned from Honolulu where she is now living. to the store a blanket for SIPS, though she had paid only $65 for it some years be- fore.
 This offer applies to all Indian siI- Yer and baskets as well as blankets Advertisement.

WATER RATES
 ARE LOWERED
Corporation Commission Is- sues Long Expected Or pected Order On Clifton Public Utility Materially Reducing Rates.

An opinion, including an order, in the case of the Clifton Water and Improvement company handed down by the corporation commission yes terday puts into effect on the first of the coming year rates in the city of Clifton considerably below the former rates charged, rates believed much more equitable. The new rates divide the flat charges into a more diverse and complete number of divi sions or classes, specifying the charg es of each class, and though the former rates were at times lower than the rates to be in effect here after, the average of the whole will bring the charges to d considerably lower level.
 This is d case which has been be- fore the commission for some time. and which all over the state has eX- cited considerable interest. In the re- y.ew of the case the commission took into consideration all the facts concerning the company which would ip any way effect the rates to be charged by that company, reviewing the history of the corporation, it's property holdings and it's improve ments under way and to be con structed.
 The case was filed at the instance Of c. W. Frazer, mayor of Clifton. and Peter Riley, R. j. Dunagon. Olaf Halverson and w. A. Tyler. members of the city council of Clifton. against the Clifton Water and Improvement company, a corporation of the city of Clifton. The charges were the direct outcome of what the plaintiffs ar gued consisted of overcharges in rates and poor service. Examination of the company by the commission showed that the rates Were to considerable extent too high, and that the service, though in some instances Ii was due to the customers them selves, was in nearly all cases poor
 The order issued covered the meth ods and amounts of charges, accounts. operations, improvements. better ments, and rates extended the several classes of consumers In all the order digestcd is as follows:
 l. The company shall immediately commence the construction and build ing of the improvements suggested by itself and recommended by the com mission.
 2. A report of the progress of these improvements and betterments small be made by the company to the commission once every month
 3. Funds for these improvements and betterments shall be drawn from the account Of the company on de- posit in the Gia Valley Bank and Trust companv
 I. The company shall adopt in full the recommendations offered by the corporation commission.
 ,. The company shall install re- cording meters at the pumping plants ! in order that the amount of water | pumped may be recorded
 G. That flat rates to the city of Clifton and to tthe Arizona Copper ! shall stand.
 7 That bachelor rates and other | special rates shall be discontinued |
 s That the decisions herein rem | dered are subject to further review | Ey the commission at their own in | stance.
 9 That the following rates are | deemed just and reasonable and shall | be made, charged and collected bv | the Clifton Water and Improvement l company in lieu of existing rates:

RECEIVES MANY
FINE GAME BIRDS
New London Man Has Received
:. Shipment of Hungarian Par
tridues and Pheasants.

New London, Feb. 13.-What is
probably the largest shipment Of
game birds ever brought to this
country was received by DR.. c. E..
Cook of this city for distribution
among the farmers in this section.
Several shipments of the English ring
necked pheasants were received early
in the fall and were placed in suit
able locations and seem to be doing
well. The shipment was imported
Hungarian cartridges imported from
Hungary and the birds were &C.
climated here and received in perfect
condition. These hardy little birds
are about twice the size of our ma
tive quail and are much harder; they
belong to the grouse family and will
not breed in captivity. They were
placed in the hands of the leading
farmers of Des Moines and Henry
counties and as they own large es-
tates they will find ideal places for
propagation. The doctor has taken a
great deal of pains to see that his
section is furnished with generous
supply of game birds that are pur-
chased from the money received from
the hunters licenses and his efforts
are appreciated. 1t seems probable
that game birds in their native wild
state are more suitable than the ones
raised in captivity as they are better
able to care for themselves and do
not fall prey to vermin. The Hun
garian partridge is an unusually wild
bird and should do we'll here.

reasons of whatever action the party
may take.
At the came time Chairman Reed
plans to keep the organization of the
party in as good condition constantly
as it was at it's best during the cam
paign. He hopes to be able to have
under his direction the machinery for
extending the influence of the party
so that at the next campaign no handi-
cap in the way Of dis-organization will
have to be met.

ASSESSMENTS MAY
BRING ON CRISIS
Orders From Auditors to Assessors
Said to Be Often Violation
of the Code. ...

Des Moines, Feb. 13--(SpeciaD-
An interesting situation may develop
as to assessments in Iowa that Will
precipitate a crisis and force action
by the legislature or the state OIL
Gals.
One senator is carrying in his pocket
a clipping showing that according to
his local paper, on certain date the
assessors all met and received In
structions" from the county auditor,
who thereby played the role of county
assessor. and he handed each OF them
a list showing their orders as to Valua'
tions to be placed on certain things to
be assessed All this is without war
rant of law, for the valuations are
arbitrary and not in accordance with
the law, so the senator says, and yet
the whole scheme was acquiesced IN
by persons under oath to obey the law
as to seeing to it that assessments
are at actual value of the property.
It is declared that in every county
Of the state this system OF ordering
the assessors to violate the law is in
vogue as to personal property, and
especially as to live stock, implements
and vehicles. But there is on file in
the state house evidence that In at
least one county the assessors were
given orders how to assess real estate,
and were told to assess 1t so that the
average value, no matter where
located nor how good nor how poor
the land might be, should be a certain
number of dollars an acre. And this
sum is not over 40 per cent of actual
value.
So it is that in northern Iowa
county there is movement on foot,
according to advices received at the
state house, to have reform start In
one township by real assessment In
accord with the law of the state, fix
ing values as directed by the code;
then to 20 into court and compel other
property to come up to the standard
set by law. What would the courts 10?
Would any court refuse to recognize
the mandate Of the code?

militia ARRESTED
S|XTY-N|NE MINERS
WEST VIRGINIA TROOPS GATHER
IN LARGE NUMBER OF MEN
At TROUBLE CENTER.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 13.- A
company of militia commanded by
Major Davis this morning at day
break surrounded the strikers camp at
Holley Grove. on Paint Creek, and
captured sixty.nine men, every man In
the camp. They were taken under
heavy guard to Paint Creek Junction,
where they will be tried for alleged
participation in the disorders early
this week when dozen or more men
were killed and many wounded.
There are now about 1875 strikers and
sympathizers at Paint Creek Junction
awaiting trial by the military commits
sion which planned to begin it's work
this afternoon. LIT.
Holley Grove has been one OF the
most troublesome spots in the
Kanawha coal field. A camp was estab-
lished by striking miners early last
summer and the military authorities
have long suspected that many Of the
disturbances that have marked the
last few months originated in the
camp.
Military officers were sent into the
country north OF the Kanawha river
today to inquire into report that
miners at mass meeting at Smithers
creek last night had adopted resolu-
ton in which the death of Gov Glass
cock, General Elliott and others was
decreed Reports reaching here this
morning said the resolution had been
printed and posted at many mining
towns for a distance of twenty-five
miles along the river. The signal
corps restored the wire service
throughout the Paint Creek country
during the night, but the lines are con-
trolled by the military and nothing
but official business is permitted to
pass through.
