We doubt whether many people know that tin-or at least such a large proportion of tin was used in mak- ing silks We protect the manufactur- CT of silk in the country on the theory that competition among the home pro ducers will cheapen silk Now we find that when the product begins to get cheaper the manufacturer squares. the account by cutting out from 50 to 60 per cent of the silk and putting in tin. We are consoled somewhat by the as surance that tin obtained from dumps isn't used" So whether we get good silk or not, we at least do get good tin. Perhaps the demand for cheapness will go so far as to compel an entire sub stitute of tin for silk. After all, we can get the pure silk by paying a higher price. Do we ever, one wonders, pay the higher price without getting the pure silk?-Indianapoli News.

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT
 0F STRIKE MEETING

Mitchell. the local rive in the city as expected yesterday morning, the meeting between the strikers and the representatives of the company and the mediatory com mittee of the Merchants and Manu- lecturers Association, was post isoned for q second time. It is ex- pected that the street car company men will be in sometime today.
 There was nothing doing at the corporation commission yesterday in connection with the strike either. Commissioner Cole heard nothing frcm either Roger sherman or Com today will likely see the end of the difficulty unless either the instruc- tions to the street car representatives from MT. sherman are different from the position it is understood MT. sherman has been induced to take through the mediations of mutual friends, or the striking car men have decided not to waive any of the posi- tions they have taken in the contro- versy.
 The street car strike has become a matter of less and less interest during the last few days, especially since the announcement was made that there existed the greatest probability of the two sides of the controversy getting together.

CHIEF RAISING
 FUND FOR WIDOW
Head of Police Department Subscribes and Asks that Others Do So in Aid of Mrs. Harris and Her Three Children

Quietly ands without hope Of reward or commendation, Chief of Police A. J. Moore is engaged, with the aid of his officers, in the most commendable task of raising fund for the relief of the widow and family of Special Policeman Harris, murdered in the yards of the Arizona Eastern two weeks ago while attempting to arrest three alleged holdup men. Without going outside the ranks of the police and the sheriff's office the chief has already collected over fifty dollars and hopes that this amount may be considerably augmented before it is finally turned over to the woman and children deprived of their husband and father.
 Opposed to the wishes of the chief, publicity is hereby given in the hope that there may be those outside the police circles. whose heart is touched with the threatened want of the woman and her three children. who may be willing to contribute to the fund being raised by the chief
 From the best information obtain able. it apears that with the death of her husband, Mrs Harris was left practically destitute. With the funer- al expenses out of the way, she had little or nothing left. There are four mouths to be fed and no means of paying for such necessities as such a family must require
 The work of the chief of police, while outside of his regular duties. is indicative of his Iarge-heartedness. He himself has subscribed liberally, but refuses to permit the publication of the donations He feels that this is a case where the right hand should not be permitted to know what the left hand is doing. It is to be hoped that the announcement of the raising of this fund will be sufficient to

JUDGE GILLIAN
 ON VISIT HERE
Seattle Jurist and Brother
 in-LaW of A. R. Cater, Comes to Phoenix to In spect Gold Property and See w. w. Cook

Among the people visiting in Phoe- nix at the present time is Judge Mitchell Gillian of Seattle. Judge Gillian is of note locally by reason of the fact that he is a brother-in- law of A. R. Cater, general agent of erally because he is the best superior court judge King county, Washing ton, ever had.
 It is something over six years ago that Governor Mead appointed Seat tie City Corporation Counsel Gillian to the bench. Since that time he has been in the habit of being reelected for each succeeding term until the last time when he poIled more votes than any other of the judges elected. All he had to do was to announce he was related by marriage to Cater of Phoenix, Arizona, and the votes slipped into the ballot boxes.
 Judge Gillian is q judge of other things than those that usually come into a superior court. He knows something about mines and mining and that is one reason why, com bining business with pleasure, he ac- companied his brother, Marcus, of Spokane, to Arizona, to inspect some gold property near Price Station on the Arizona Eastern. After that task Is accomplished. Judge Gillian is coming back to Phoenix to visit and renew old acquaintanceShip with W. w. Cook. the Arizona cattleman with whom he went to school years ago at Walla Walla, and whom he has not seen in thirty-seVen years. It was about that time that Cook came to Arizona and the judge-to-be went to Harvard to complete a law course.
 Between times Judge Gillian is an enthusiastic member of the Seattle Country Club, holding several cups " on in golf tournaments He is the golf champion of the northwest and if anybody doubts this they had bet ter take him on for round of the links.

To Grand, Hasse & Lewis, con structing and consulting engineers of this city, has been assigned the task of designing the proposed plant for the WaterWorkS department of the town of Wickenburg. To this com pany has also been given the work of constructing the plant from the plans it will draft. For the purpose of providing the funds necessary for the carrying on of the work. bonds have 3lready been voted by the peo- ple of Wickenburg and they win soon be offered for sale.
 At present the plan is entirely ten tatiVe beyond the actual fact that Wickenburg is to have a waterWorks plant. ~It is probable that con crete reservoir with a capacity of about 100000 gallons will be con structed. This reservoir will be sup piled by pumps taking water from wells to be drilled.
 Mains are to be laid through most of the streets of the town a suitable concrete building to house the pump ing station is to be erected and aito- gether the plant is to be one of the most modern of it's size in the coun- try. It is understood that the site for the reservoir and pumping plant was recently donated to the town of Wickenburg by J. c. Reed, the Phoe- nix real estate and mining man who Is heavily interested in Wickenburg property.

Secretary of State Says He Must Spend Vacation on Lecture Platform in Or der to Exc Out His Mea- ger Wages

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH WASHINGTON, July 15.-Washing- ton is interested chiefly today in de- veIopment following Secretary Bry- ans statement that he had to spend his vacation on the lecture platform because he could not live on the secre- tary of states salary of $12,0OO a year The lobby investigation of the tariff and the Mexican situation was forgot ten temporarily at least, while every boly talked about the resolution intro duced by Senator Bristow calling upon the president to advise the senate what would be the proper salary to enable the present secretary of state to live with comfort and enable him to give his time to the discharge of his public duties.
 When the Bristow resolution was read amid republican laughter demo- cratic leader Kern and other senators immediately objected to it's considera- tion and after a few brief exchanges :twent over. It was fuiiy discussed. however, within Hobbies and cloak rooms at both ends of thecapital
 When Secretary Bryan's attention was called to some criticisms that have been published in regard tr his lectur. ing he replied as follows:
 T am glad the criticism has been brought to my attention. I believe in criticism of public officials. Criticism is helpful. If a man makes a mistake criticism enables him to correct it; if he is unjustlY criticised. criticism helps him. I have had my share of criticism since I have been in rLtlic rfe but .. has not prevented my doing what I have thought proper"

ging road. He believes that mar row gauge line could be constructed out of Phoenix along the north bank of the Salt River to the Verde and along the east bank of the Verde to the East Verde, whose head waters are in the heart of the forest. Branch lines could be constructed along the banks of Clear Creek and Beaver Creek, which also penetrate the re cesses of the forest.
 Of course. such a road would cost great deal of money as it would be about 150 miles in length and in
 places the construction would be diff ficult and expensive, but the prize, Mr Fowler believes, is worth the labor and expense. An industry would be created that would give employ ment to several thousand of men and there would be made available. an almost endless supply of timber
 \ bart of the forest is owned by the railroad. but the most of it is q forest reserve. The government leases tracts of the forest reserves, desig- hating the matured timber to be cut by the Iessees and in this region, which has been untouched, the sup ply seems almost unexhaustible. Many of the trees would furnish fifty feet of logs.
 A logging road from Phoenix into the heart of the forest would have an average fall of about twenty feet to the mile. That grade would make the transportation of the logs an easy matter.
 Such a road might also have future. Sometime a Colorado road will pierce the southwest, a thing that has been under consideration at various times within the last twenty-five years. Twenty years ago Otto Mears, the pathfinder, gave some study to such a route, but at that time the country was not in such state of development as to warrant the enterprise
 Such a narrow gauge logging road as has been described might easily be standardized to become a link of a road from the northeast
