How Incorporation
 Would Help HOIbrOOk


 to write an article that would fully cover and explain the bene- fits that the town of HoIbrook would derive from incorporation. so II will only mention a few that come before me nearly every day.
 First of all it would mean cleaner streets and alleys, better sidewalks and better street crossings, the cleaning up of vacant lots, better drainage and sewage and other sanitary inn provements.
 Climate and sanitary condi- tions effect the wellbeing, health, happiness and disposition of people more than any other con- dition that goes to make up en- yironment. We have the climate but the sanitary conditions we cannot have without incorpor- ation.
 It is a well known fact there are few towns of the size of Holbrook where people are as careless as to the appearance of the streets and alleys as well as the vacant town lots adjacent to their properties. Instead of placing the rubbish, refuse, etc. of their homes in a box or barrel and having it hauled away every two weeks or so by the drayman they throw the stuff out into the streets and alleys or over the fences into some neighbours property, in conse- quence thereof the places men, toned are filled with such refuse as old clothing, sacks, tin cans of various sizes, old tubs, wash machines. boilers. old iron. barrel hoops, barbed wire. bal ing wire. old roofing. empty bottles, paper and other things too numerous to mention, includ- ing dead chickens, dead dogs and cats. Our business houses are not exempt from this criti- cism. They are fully as care less as any of the home owners; and it is safe to say that the main business street of any town in Arizona does not show up as sanitary as Holbrook. We have county board of health but they never see these un- sanitary conditions in the various parts or the town.
 Incorporation would mean that all the above evils would be remedied, or the offenders would be hauled into court and made to pay fines in proportion to the offense. It would mean a dog license tax which would un- doubtedly make night less hide -ous, tor a tax on these animals would mean that one dog would be grown where thousands are grown at present.
 It would also mean that care less auto drivers would be con- pelled to have the lights burning on their machines when driving around the streets after dark.
 There is ho question but in- corporation would mean a better regulated town and a more rigid enforcement of the laws.
 Incorporation cannot come without bringing with It some extra expense to the property owners. The Mayor and the Town Council would receive no salary, thelrs being a heaven sent job. The officers of brain and brawn such as Town Clerk, Town Attorney. Marshal and of Streets would of course receive salaries; other ex- Dense would be for books, print ing, stationary, postage, rent, light, fuel, office furniture and fixtures, some incidentals; main- tenance of streets and other public necessities. Yet it is safe to say that the benefits that would be derived from incorpOr-

still stands as the most spectacular OF

SGirls''-PoII'H.

Clyde F1tch's most delightful light
comedy, Girls" will be presented in
Washington tomorrow afternoon for the
first time In stock by the Poll Players.
AS suggested by the title, this strik-
ing original comedy is q clever analysis
of the eternal feminine.
The author has built his story on the
aggressive efforts OF three charming
young women to prove themselves su-
perior to romance and Indifferent to the
opposite sex. The girls establish in q
big studio an Adamless Eden through
whose portals arc admitted only the
hands and arms of the postman, the
janitor and an occasional messenger boy.
The first complete entrance of q mem
her OF the opposite sex is made shortly
before the witching hour one night when
a very handsome. as well as an ex-
ceedingly bad, bold young man breaks
through a window and projects himself
into the geographical center of the
studio. He is clad in evening dress. he
is somewhat GREATNESS Us the result OF
a hurried flight from an irate husband,
and he is disgustingly amused when
he discovers the atmosphere into which
he has plunged.
OF course this is the beginning Of the
end. Before the story has reached its
conclusion. the three rebels against ro-
nance are head over heels In love with
mere men, members OF the species they
had once hated. despised and scorned.
The arrangement of cast announced by
the Poll management for this weeks
revival OF Girls shows important new
members OF the company as well as

ASSOCIATED PRESS DESPATCH

NEW YORK, Feb. 25-Further re- striction of immigration would az GraVate the scarcity of labor in the rural districts and in the smaller cities in the United States, says Dr. Charles w. Elliot, president emeritus of Harvard. in a letter received to- day by the National Liberal Immi- grafton League, written in reply to the question whether he still held the view to that effect. given expression cn January 10, 1911
 Dr. Elliot asserts that the scarcity Of labor in this country will prevail as long as there is a sparseness of population, and enormous unused natural resources, in the development of which both new capital and labor will be needed.
 Not a single argument for fur ther restriction of immigration have 1 yet seen.' he adds, which does not violate the plainest principles of sound American industrial develop ment. or which does not propose to abandon or maim the noble policy of the United States, which has made this country the hopes of the multi tudes who cannot yet find freedom and comfort in their native lands
