The act of Congress creating the new Department of Labor changes the name Of the former Department of commerce and Labor to the Depart ment Of Commerce and the designation of its head becOes Secretary of Com merce. The principal effect of the change on what has heretofore been known as the Department of Com merce and Labor is the removal of the bureau of labor. the bureau of immigration and naturalization and the childrens bureau, with all their officials. employees, possessions. files, etc, to the new department. These bureaus, however, will continue to perform their usual functions until these are modified by act of Con gresS or by the policy of the head If the Department Of Labor The bureau of immigration and natural iZation is divided into the bureau of immigration and the bureau of nat uraliZatiOn and the titles chief and assistant chief of the division Of nat uraIiZatiOn are changed to cOmmeis- sioner and deputy commissioner of naturalization. The name of the bu- reau of labor is changed to the bu- reau of labor statistics, and the des- ignatiOn of it's chief is Commissioner of Labor Statistics.
 The act referred to describes the purpose of the department as being Ito foster, promote and develop the welfare Of the wage earners of the United States. to improve their work ing conditions and to advance their opportunities for profitable employ ment." The act makes the change effective on March 1913, and the new department is now performing it's duties All questions and, other communications bearing on labor sub jects should be addressed to the De- partment of Labor instead of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor as heretofore

ARIZONA ELECTRIC IS
 IN ITS NEW HOME
Now Occupies Up-t Date Quarters
 On West Washington Street.

Progress ever the WatchWord with the Arizona Electric company. that motto has increased ten-fold in it's significance with the succession to the business established by Victor R Norris of w. E. MathesOn. the new proprietor Not alone did Mr. Mathe- son bring new ideas and the ultra progressive spirit to the business. making at the start change of loca- ton and bringing his establishment into the heart of the business district but he went further and made of his new place of business veritable headquarters for all things electrical
 At A West Washington street, the Arizona Electric company has estab- lished it's new home. With the talent of an artist, Mir. Matheson arranged the interior, with the result that a visit to the place is restful, interest ing and worth while. Every imagin- able method Of electric lighting from the simplest incandescent lamp to the costly art glass and bronze chandelier is shown, completely connected and ready to demonstrate its utility and beauty in actual use.
 At the front has been installed a powerful 500-watt incandescent store front light, swung from the building with bracket. It is said of this lamp that it gives a greater candle power than the arc lamp. at a con siderable less cost.
 The housewife upon entering is at once attracted by the silent servant" the automatic electric cook stove that promises, to revolutioniZe the art of cooking. It boils, bakes toasts and heats, acting also as a fireless cooker In addition. there are heaters upon the tops which utiliZes heat which otherwise might go to waste. It is one of the modern wonders of house. hold and labor saving devices A complete line of Monflux fixtures arranged to use either the direct or semi direct lighting system is com pletely installed and ready for in stantaneOus demonstration. Electric fans of every description are kept in a never broken stock.
 The storerOom, work shop and re- | pair department presents the last l word in completeness. Today the l Arizona Electric company stands in 1 the fOreranks of establishments en- 1 gagged in handling electrical supplies, | installations and repairs

WHO KNOWS ABOUT CAPTAIN ]. W. OWEN
Inquiry By the Local c. A. R. Post
 Named After Him

Who knows anything about Cap tain J. w. owen? This information is desired by dhe members of J. N owen Post, c. A. R. which was named after him. but why, the pre- sent officers and members of the post do not know. though they be- HcNc that some of the old timers may know.
 It is only certain that he was a gal. soldier. otherwise his name would not have been so honOred. Anyone who can furnish record of him, of his life. or of his death will confer a favor on the post by communicating with General A J. Sampson.
 Grand army posts are usually named after some soldier of the community who fell in the civil war. That of course could not be the case of post in q town which was es- tahlished some time after the war as Phoenix was It is altogether probable that Captain owen was not known in Arizona at all. but that his name was suggested by q com rade who had known him in q dis tant state.

THE NEWEST MAP
 0F THE NEW STATE
An Up to Date Work Turned Out
 by Grand Engineering Go.

This office is in receipt of a new map of the state which iS being put cut by the Girand Engineering Co. of and old PostOffice building, and is really new and emhodies features that never have been seen on a map of Arizona.
 In addition to the usual data ap- bearing on il state map there is shown all the lands in the state subject to the enlarged homestead act. and also is shown the parcel post zones with the table of rates so that it is possible to see at a glance what zone q town is in from phoenix and the rate
 Al the forest reserve, Indian, mil itarY and other reservations have their boundaries shown not as they existed years ago. but as they are today, under the latest executive or lers
 Mir Girand says that he thinks the map as complete as it is possible to make a map of Arizona, vet he realizes that there will probably pop up omissions. and he has this to say: that he will appreciate any one who finds an naccuracy re- porting it and if he is a purchaser of the map the correction will be made and copy returned free of charge
 This map being on tracing linen, and all copies white prints. it is their intention to keep the map up to date.
 It is for sale by the Phoenix Blueprint Co. which is also lo- cated in the old postoffice building.

TRADERS SCHOOL
 FOR BLANKET VIEWERS
How "lndian' Blankets are Turned
 Out By Wholesale

Ball<es Big Curio Store. through the columns of The Republican, has been disseminating q lot of valuable information regarding Navajo blank cts. calling attention to spurious kinds of blankets and showing ways by which they may be certainly de- tected. It has shown that the sum mer made blankets are the best. and why. It has shown why q too pretty blanket is not genuine one.
 These very pretty blankets with handsome and intricate designs are all made in the winter time when the traders furnish the Indians with mill yarn, killed" by chem ical preparation for the weaving of blankets. The Indians are also fur nished with artistic designs pre- pared by artists. white men, such designs as an Indian could not pos sibly conceive
 A single squaw is given single design and she win weave blankets of that design all winter. On ac- count of the even character of the yarn she can follow it closely and by spring she has become so expert that the blanket seems to have been woven by machinery, and it is no better than a machine made blanket Other squaWs will work on other l designs so that by spring the trad | er will have a stock of blankets l many of each design
 This system has been brought to | perfection at Crystal Springs, N.
 M. where it was first instituted | The trader has issued q handsome ! catalogue with pictures of the de l signs in colOrs. They are beauti ful: they are numbered so that the dealer may order as many as he
 wants of each design.
 Now, it is fact that there are
 never two genuine Navajo blankets alike. The Indian never duplicates
 his own design But he has pu into the , anket three month~' hon est work and Indian prepared yarn The mill yarn blanket can be made in two WeekS.-(AdV)

FORSEES MAIL ORDER
TRUST

Washington, July 1870 silently and
insidiously that the great public Is as
yet almost unaware Of its presence, a
new trust is extending its tentacles out
over the country. 1t is the mail order
trust. Already it's strangling grip is
Tightening about the million small town
and country merchants who are the
backbone Of national prosperity.
The mail order trust has capitalized
women and child labor. 1t has cap
italized vice. 1t has turned all these
things into dollars-dollars which should
have found their way into the tills OF
the country merchant, instead Of flow
ing into the trusts Wall Street hoard
One mail order house recently in
creased it's capital stock from $500, 600
to s40.0OO,000. A new $l0,0O0O0O merger
Of mail order houses has been formed.
Wall street financiers, including the
Morgan banking firm, has had charge
OF both these financial operations. Still
another mail order house, with 63 acres
OF floor space, made net profit Of
sl7,0OO,00O last year.
1t is evident that the greedy eyes OF
the great mail order financiers are
turned upon the entire retail business
OF the United States outside OF the great
cities. 1t is also plain that gigantic
trust is rapidly forming. The small
retail merchant is facing ruin. That
the grip OF the octopus is already being
felt is shown by the population stats
tics. Nearly 1900 small towns lost pop
ulation IN the census Of 1910.
1t is declared that something must be
done by immediate legislation, or the
parcel post will not be the complete
blessing it ought to be. 1t is asserted
the solution Of the problem will be in
the form OF heavy tax on mail order
business. This tax would, it is con
tended, tend to stop the expansion Of
the mail order business, and to reduce
its present formidable size The money
thus collected would be spent for road
building or other local improvements in
the districts which contributed to the
mail order houses.
The small retail merchant is the prop
OF distributed prosperity, and the
growth OF the mail order trust serves
no common good. Here is a principle
which works out: III you spend your
money where you get it, you will be
able to get it where you spend it."
Through a systematic advertising
campaign, the mail order capitalists
have sought to poison the public mind
against the small merchant The peo-
pie have been told that there are too
many merchants, and that their retail
methods are wasteful and costly But
l would point out the other side OF the
question.
The Chicago vice investigation showed
that $1,000 women employees Of mail
order houses are existing on starvation
wages, many OF them being driven by
poverty to lives Of shame. The mail
order houses are the great distributors
Of prison made goods. They are the
exploiters Of misfortune, buying much
OF their goods at bankrupt sales.
But who takes an interest in Local
affairs and has hand in the upbuild
