Message From the Admins


Marked improvements in conditions
in the industrial and commercial re-
gions of the country has come, re-
viving courage and destroying alarm
removal of tariff duties has resulted
in a tendency clearly and openly in
the direction of reduction in the cost
of food and clothing, and climatic con-
iitions, not business depression, are
responsible for the number of uncm-
ployed in New York City and other
,arge industrial centcrs. This was the
message delivered by William C. Red
ield, the administrations spokesman
on commercial and industrial prob
lens before the Wheeling board of
trade. Mr.. Redfeld defended the tar
if act, lauded the currency law and
with decided emphasis, assured his
audience that the government in

The Clinch Valley News does not

dancing is an evil it should be stop-
ped. IF the churches have a law on
their books forbidding dancing this
Jaw should be either enforced or re-
pealed. IF, again, dancing is an evil.
the parties who rent their halls for
dances are not guiltless. And once
more, without the "if", whether DANG
ing is wrong per Sc or not, it should
be suppressed unless properly and
decently conducted, which is fire.

The Moulin Rouue

To tn average theater- -goer the above title will recall one of the best musical comedies which has toured the west. The original company headed by sev- eral very clever artists happened to play Phoenix a few seasons ago, and now the patrons are to have a look at the same production again, only in tab iOd form. MT. Kelly director and pro- ducer of the company now playing the Empress secured the script for several of the larger shows while on his trip to New York, and The Moulin Rouge" is only one of the many excellent bills which he will soon introduce. The show as every one knows, is of most high class order with lots of music, comedy and all the things necessary to make it one of the very best tabliod bills possible to offer the local patrons Ten big novelty musical numbers in tersperse the comedy situations which will be capably handled by Kelly and Marshall. The Harmony SeXtette are cast for rendition of two pretty num- bers, and needless to say this one fea- ture of the show will be well worth the price of admission alone.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl


 NEW YORK, February 4.-lnvest- ment buying of stocks and bonds continued in fair valume today with an increasing demand and with a clear demand for shares with well established records as dividend pay CTS. The effect of this buying was centralized by the tendency of pro fessional operators to play for re- action, and as a result the days movement was confused. President Wilson's proclamation lifting the em- bargo on the shipment of arms into Mexico had little effect on the mar ket, other than to stimulate shares of companies directly concerned with Mexican conditions On the theory that the presidents action brought nearer the establishment of peace in Mexico, these stocks such as MeXi can Petroleum and smelting were bid up strongly. Steel trade reviews re- ported further improvement. The pig iron output for January was one hundred thousand tons less than in December. owing to the accumula- tion during the recent slump of large supplies of pig iron which was drawn on last month.

ADJUSTMENTS
Coliseum

A slight mix-up in the bookings for the Coliseum this week resulted in the appearance of four acts. This same miX-up is being favorably received by the patrons and the four acts combin- ed make one of the best bills which the old reliable house has had to offer. A very pleasing feature and one which makes the show dOubly attractive is that the various sketches do not in any way conflict making possible a most varied line of entertainment. FL more and Drisdale are seen to advan- tage in singing, dancing and talking. Their work is both refreshing and up to-date The Aerial Wilson's are giv- ing an excellent account of themselves in a new line of acrobatic work. The work of the lady member of the team is especially deserving of mention. The Dog Act" as an educated canine act is commonly called, is in a class all by itself. The dogs represent various breeds of the canine family, all edu
 cated to high degree. Brown & Dea
 ton are Stopping the show both lit
 erally and theoretically" inasmuch as they are presenting the feature act of them all, and at the close of the bill. To miss the work of this team, is to miss a real treat in light fast comedy, and fascinating stage appearance.

 Plans for Church Census Hard at Work - Every body Will Go to Church

The religious survey work is gO- ing on apace in spite of the aWk- ward that has been applied to it. To make the idea more comprehen- sible the explanation is made that 1t is a church census of Phoenix in which all the denominations are talk ing part, and q large and important feature of the census is that the census takers will extend a person. al invitation to every person in the house visited to attend church on February 13.
 'Everybody go to church is the slogan. and the good word is being circulated by word of mouth and by written announcements until no one in Phoenix shall be without the in- Nitation to attend the services of the church of their choice upon that day, Yesterday afternoon another inter- esting live wire meeting was held at the Y NJ c. A. in the office of General Secretary Blair, which was attended by representatives of all the churches having Federated Brother hoods. Plans were laid for making
 
 workers who will be needed on Fri day, February 13, to make the cen sus in half a day.
 The city has been divided into sections and each church has been allotted so many sections. Volun- ] teer workers will then be obtained to go to work on the task and it will 1 be cleaned up.
 The idea of having everybody go l to church on Sunday. February r., 1 is attracting all sorts of attention among the non -church-g -goers, so that already plans are being made for exceptionally interesting services on that morning. The plan has been worked elsewhere with great success i and has resulted in increasing per manently the congregations of the | churches which have co-operated in ! the movement.

 BIRDIE MAKE COURT
No Matter How Fine They May Be Mounted; Johnstone Discharges
 Captive Taxidermst

On the ground that the skin and feathers of an ornithOlogical-if edi ble-specimen do not constitute the bird" as it is regarded by the Ari- zona statutes, o. C. Polling, d taxi dCrmist represented by Attorney Burton Green, yesterday won out from the state in his hearing before Justice Johnstone. The charge was that Polling did buy sell and barter certain quail and ducks.
 The fact that the legislature failed to insert in section of chapter S2 of the revised statutes the words "or parts thereof was the omission un- der which Polling escaped the wrath of the law. For the charge was based on that paragraph of the code. But" maintained Green even had the legislature used this phrase it would have to be applied to such parts of the animal as were fit for food"
 Polling was for a long time con- necte,1 with scientific institutions in the capacity of expert taxidermist. He will be remembered as the "au- thor of the group of mounted quail displayed in the Pinney- Robinson gun store.

FRANK WOODS CONDUCTOR
 AND NOT BLACKSMITH
Similarity of Names Confuses Candi- date With Another Third
 Warder

Although Frank Woods has lived in Phoenix so many years he is looked upon as a pioneer il IS sur prising. now that he has needed the urging of his friends and become d candidate for a city commissioner ship, how many people there are who have him confused with Frank Wood a West Jefferson street black smith. Some of this confusion may be laid directly at the door of The Republican. which in referring re gently to MT. Woods, unintentionally dropped the final ''s' from his name. Then. too, the fact that the black smith with the similar name had once been d candidate for the com mon council from the third ward, in which ward MT Woods lives, led many to assume that the two were identical.
 But in the last few days Frank Woods has done more to introduce himself by name and vocation to the people of Phoenix than he has ac- complished in the years he has been conductor on the santa Fe, Pres colt & Phoenix railroad by dis tributing cards and reminding old and new acquaintances that he is an independent candidate for con- missionership.

 SUGAR RATE
Intervention by the Arizona Commission in Recent Sugar Hearing Results ln General Cut in Rates to Benefit Whole State

The interstate commerce commls- sion has just issued an opinion and order in a sugar case that is Of more than ordinary interest to Arlzona with respect to rates on that com modity. and is enlightening as ef- fecting the application of the long and short haul provision of com inerce law" said Corporation Com missioner Jones last night.
 In q complaint brought by B. Maier X Co, of Benson alleging that rates on sugar from Los Angeles of s1.Oo and san Francisco $11O to Benson was excessive compared with the rate of zoe applying to Fl Paso and Kansas City, Commissioner Jones intervened on behalf of the entire state, filing a brief with the Washington commission.
 At the hearing in Phoenix several months ago the Washington com mission also set down for hearing at the same time an application of the Arizona roads for permission to charge higher rates to Arizona on sugar than is effective to points east of Arizona under the amended fourth section of the act to regulate com merce wherefore the issue raised was highly important both directly as af- fecting sugar rates and indirectly because of the principle involved.
 The interstate commerce commis- sion holds." continued Mr. Jones, that the rates to Benson are un- reasonable to the extent that they exceed the Fl Paso rates and, under the fourth section applications, that railroads must on or before March 15 discontinue charging rates to Arizona in excess of those contem- poraneously in effect to more distant points eastward.
 Several years ago the rates to Phoenix from Los Angeles were s1.0S and from San Francisco $I1S
