WHAT is HAPPENING
HERE THIS WEEK

The Columbia presents an act this

In Los Angeles, the numerous Ben

to a challenge issued to the female

there were many who responded--and
with some degree of success.

With the Fourth disposed of and
the good times tucked away to be
enjoyed again in memory, one is
more or less at loss for a lead for
summertime Amusements." AS q
matter of fact the Fourth breaks the
summers backbone and plans Tor
the coming season are in order.
The New York managers are con-
templating a particularly elaborate
Invasion of the coast cities this sea-
sen, in view of the 1915 Exposition
and that means that Phoenix is
bound to benefit by it whether 1t
wants to or not. The Elks man
agement has not announced an DEL
mite bookings yet; but they have
been dickering with the big New
York booking offices for some time
last and will soon be :eady to an
nounce their plans In a conversation
with Parker Woodman this past
week he said that while there were
no definite announcements to be
made at this date, he would say that
there would be more really good at
fractions at the ElkS this winter than
there had been for some time past.
He hopes for Sir Johnston Forbes
Robertson and Lady Robertson to fill
a three performance engagement but
the dates have not been definitely
fixed and there is a possibility that
they will be unable to come The
Shuberts have assured him that the
engagement will be filled if it is at
al possible and a definite announce
ment will be made inside of the next
six weeks.
Another thing that Mr.. WoOdman
said that there would be a number
OF musical comedies here this WIN
ter No type of entertainment APP
peals more to Phoenix audiences and
last winter there We're none at all
worth while "Sari," Savage's great
success of last season will surely be
here and possibly Christie Macdonald
the latter seems almost too good to
be true; but we'll root for it any
way.
In the meantime there are rumors
Of new companies and new theaters
galore; in fact if they build as many
amusement places as they talk OF
doing there will be just about one
person available as an audience fol
each playhouse.

OUT OF DEATH
VALLEY

In tine interesting feOpIe Depart
ment of the September American
Magazine appears a sketch OF H. H.
McVaughaen, an old-fashioned pros
pector who has Just come back to
civilization after 35 years spent in
Death Valley az prospector. He
brought $4,000 back with him and
n world of experience. Following is
an extract from the article:
In 1879 McVaughaen was living
in Bakersfield. California. In that
year his wife died, and that. he says.
was what made him a wanderer and
sent him into the silence of the des-
ert. Death Valley is one of the most
country on the American continent.
II was given that name after party
consisting of several families moving
across country by wagon to Califor-
mia. persisted there, a half century
ago. of thirst and hunger. Those
were not the, first victims nor the
last.
Into that sinister country Nc
Vaughaen went in 1879, Rutherford
B. Hayes was president that year.
Since then wars have been fought
and states admitted to the Union:
hamlets have grown into cities:
thousands of miles of railroads have
been completed; national disasters
and national rejoicings taken place:
wireless. monographs, aeroplanes,
moving pictures have become COM
mon: the facilities for the inter-
change OF human thought have made
their advances. the popularization of
art, letters. and social betterment has
had its successes.
But cut off from all this. living
continuously, as 1t were. In the year
1879. McVaughaen spent IS years of
his life by himself. prospecting in
the desert. The first good claim
that he opened up was 125 miles
from railroad. the nearest point be-
ing Prumper ranch in the extreme
eastern part of the desert.
There is no degree of hunger,
thirst or loneliness that this man of
10 has not experienced. He is we'll
acquainted with them all. and with
6Oou vi OdHStI DcSlueS.
But he was born to hardshi3s.
His childhood was spent on the
frontier. and when little more than
a boy, in 1861. he went into the
government service as scout and
messenger. The government still
pays him $7T5 year. In a pinch he
would be a valuable man, for he
speaks several Indian languages flu
emily. besides Spanish and its Mexi-
can variations.
"He does not consider the $575,.-
900 sort of reward of merit, as in
stories. for his years of industry. He
looks on the money us merely incl
dental to the romance and the ad-
venture that has made up his life.
The money might have come, and it
might not; 1t does not make u great
deal OF difference either way. Now
that 1t Is here he intends to devote
most of 1t to educating some nephews
and nieces and getting them started
in life.
| During his years in the desert he
located eleven good claims. These
he recently sold to Schwab & CO.,
and that accounts for the $4,000.
The mines are gold. silver and cop
Iper."

THE PLIGHT OF
THE RAILROADS
From the Baltimore Sun.


There is. specifically at Least, a
great deal OF strength In the conten-
tion that the Interstate Comerce
Commission should reopen the rail-
road rate case and consider 1t anew
in the light OF the Generalization of
the worlds business caused by the
European war.
The railroads, OF course. should
bear their fair share of the burden
caused by the war, burden which
has fallen on every business man.
every householder. every individual
who eats food and wears clothes.
But they should not be- called upon
to bear more than their share. The
grocer divides his burden with his
customers by putting up the prices
OF flour and sugar Other men in
other lines of business do the same.
The railroad is customer as well as
dealer. 1t must pay more to the
people from whom It buys. but II
can not exact more from those to
whom 1t sells-it can not. that Is.
unless the Interstate Commerce
Commission gives permission. The
events Of the last month have op-
Grated against the railroads in that
brief space. just as did the move
ment toward high prices extending
over the decade prior to the recent
decision OF the commission: that is.
they have increased expenses with
out increasing revenues.
There is another side to the case
1t is maxim of modern business
that when dealer Is confronted
with an emergency loss he should
grin and bear tiff 1t Is at all pos
sible for him to do so-and not pass
1t on to his customers. Practically
all manufacturers of advertised prod
ucts. trade marked goods which have
fixed prices. are maintaining these
prices at the present time, although
some of them at least are suffering
severe losses. They count the none
tary loss fair exchange for the
increased good will OF the customer.
II the existing situation continues
for long time. however. they will
have to increase the prices OF their
goods. Doubtless 1t will be good
business" for the railroad as for the
breakfast food man to stand any
temporary loss possible to him. rath-
err than increase his prices to his GUS
toners, though owing to the diff
culties he has been laboring under
for the last few years he may not
be in as comparatively good condi-
tion to do 30.
Even so. however, there are other
things to DE considered. Is this sit
uation a temporary one, or is 1t like
ly to last long time? Are the rail-
roads sufficiently prosperous to JUS
tify them in indulging in the luxury
of taking care OF their CUSTOMERS
Even If the war should end today,
lus not the drain on the financial re-
sources of the world been so tre-
mendous that the railroads will mot
be able to command the money they
require unless they make a better
showing than the present rates will
permit? These and other questions
suggest themselves. We do not know
that they show tho railroads should
be permitted to raise their rates
,again. but apparently they justify a
lreopening of the case.
