THE DESERT LABORATORY
 WHAT I |S DOING FOR ARIZONA

Inasmuch as the hearings on the Carnigie Desert Laboratory land bill pending in the legislature have de Velopcd that not one person in a hundred in Arizona is familiar with the work and purpose of that institu- tion.' something of the history and accomplishments of the laboratory which is known to scientific men all over the world will be of general interest at this time.
 Not long after the Carnegie in- stitution of Washington. with an en- dowment of $1O,OOO.OOO had been chartered by congress. the directors of that foundation determined to establish a tropical botanical labor atory, a marine botanical laboratory at Dry Tortugas and a desert bOtan- ical laboratory somewhere in the desert county of the southwest. For the last named laboratory an ap- propriation of $25. 1000 was made with the understanding that sufficient sums would be appropriated annaully for it's maintenance.
 pr Daniel T. MDougau. director of the New York Botanical Gardens and Dr Frederick V. Colville, of the
 United States department of agricul-
 ture were named as a commission to
 select a site. In the fall of 1902 they visited Nevada. California, New Mex
 ico. and Arizona and selected, tenta-
 tively several sites but recommended
 as most advantageous site on the shoulder of the Tucson mountains about d mile west of the city of Tucson.
 Through Professor R. H. Forbes of the University of Arizona the Tucson Chamber of Commerce learned of their coming. General L. H. Manning i one of TuCson's most progressive citi- ! zens who was president of the or i ganization at that time, at once real ! ized the great benefit which Tucson and Arizona would receive from the l location of the Desert laboratory anG l he called d meeting of the directors 1 They authorized the secretary of the ! chamber to meet Drs. ATDOugaIl anC 1 Collville and ascertain what conces- ! sions they desired and agree to then on behalf of the chamber, fixing nC i limit as to the cost.
 ] The secretary met the representa- ! tives of the Carnegie Institution a
 the old San Xavier hotel in Tucsor 1 and on behalf of the Chamber O.
 Commerce, agreed to secure title tC i forty acres of land for the labOra tory for experimental purposes. to build a pipe line for carrying watel from the santa Cruz valley to tho | laboratory, to build a road from St l Mary's hospital up the mountain sid, to the la bOT9tO1.- sf-p and ro bui1f telephone and electrical line iron

Here Is Foot Comfort

This is a broad claim to make. but the SchoIl "Foot Eazer" eases feet, provides absolute means of foot com fort
 When the arch of the foot is not properly suppOrted-and the modern shoe does not give this required sup port-the feet tire and ache and pain and become feverish and then there is a tWitching and q seeming strain on the limbs, and frequently a feeling of fatigue over the whole body.
 The arch of the foot, where the body's weight is carried. needs a rest

TRAFFIC MANAGER SAYS FRISCO
AND SANTA FE MUST ANSWER
10 COMMISSION.

T.. y. Adams. secretary Of the Tulsa
traffic bureau, yesterday afternoon
issued the following statement in re-
gard to the complaints filed with the
state corporation commission.
1T seems to be the impression Of
the Interested ones In Tulsa that the
/ Tulsa Traffic association has with
drawn the complaint that they filed
against the Frisco with the corpora
ton commission Of oklahoma, asking
that body to inYestisate the terminal
facilities of the FIs,a and issue az

This is mistake Tho traffic
manager for the association simply
asked the Frisco to postpone the
hearing for thirty days or hold the
same In the city Of Tulsa just before
the holidays. Again. the association
filed q separate complaint against the
Santa re asking that they be com
pellecd TO build their own terminals
In this city and that the postpone
ment Of the Frisco case has no bear
ing whatever on the Santa Fe case
which is docketed for hearing in
Tulsa. in the United States district
court room at 10 o'clock the morning
the association will be expected to
attend this hearing and show why
the Santa Fe should build their own
terminals"
