TELESCRIBE TO BE EX-
 HIBITED AT FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. A. Among the remarkable exhibits to be shown at the Panama-Pacifc In, ternational Exposition at San Fran cisco will be Thomas A. Edison's latest invention, the ''Telescribe. This is a combination of telephone and dictaphone and has never before been exhibited at an international ex- position. It fulfills Mir. Edison's pre- diction uttered in 1870 that perfection in telephonic communication would be reached only when means were discovered for combining the tele- phone and photograph in order that telephone messages might be prop erly recorded.
 When the receiver of the desk teie- phone is removed from the hook and placed in the socket of the 'tele- scribe" the acoustic connection of the dictating machine is made and then the user takes up the small re- ceiver attached to "telescribe" and begins conversation. In this way both sides of the conversation are recorded on the telescribe cylinder and communication with the central operator is shut off. thus preventing breaking in on the line. The value of the telescribe is shown by the fact that the telephone system trans mits sixty per cent of all forms of communication in the United States. totalling fifteen billion conversations year, grand total in excess of railroad passengers in the same pc riod

HISTORIC DAYS PRE-
 SERVED AT ACOMA
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

If there is any sight in the known world that will cling to one, undim- mend by his later impressions, it is the first view of the wonderful In dian village Acoma, and its sweep ing valley that slumbers below the towering mesa"
 Such was the tribute given by F. r. Cruice. assistant freight and pas senger agent of the s. F. P. & P. in submitting his report to the main offices recommending that this his toric center be added to the many points of attraction for tourists to behold who traverse this line of rail road to the coast.
 Mir. Cruice made a personal obser- vation trip to Acoma, and was as founded in beholding the work of the primitive past Among the more interesting was his review of actual conditions in the old pueblo. He stated the village can be reached by ascending flights of steps hewn out of the rock formation to a height of over 300 feet. When on top, the viii lage is in view. and then begins the research into the weird past. There are flabitations crudely and yet sub stantially constructed Of adobe that bear the date of l540, as the year of the first settlement made This data is verified by Prof. Lummis, as au- thentic.
 Dipping further into the primitive fha ..valle nf feet through are seen, but the thrill of other days seizes one as he taps the bell in the only cathedral that bears the date of having been cast in Spain in the year of l7l0 Accord ing to the history of Acoma this race was converted to Christianity in IT, 60. by Spanish missionaries, although Coronado had visited the place thir- ty years before. The building of the massive cathedral in other words marks the dawn of the Christian era with fms peace-loving and industri- ous race. Relics of the bygone era are also preserved. and the l27 fam lilies live happily and contentedly by themselves. In the winter months all are at home, but in the spring they scatter to reap the fruits of labor by tilling the soil. Acoma is as diligently and sacredly protected from conquest today as in the long ago, and when the drift begins to till the soil. a guard is maintained to pro- tect those who remain, as well as their holdings. The village is situ- ated but twelve miles south of Alas ka, on the main line. and it is believ- ed Cruice's report will be endorsed for adding it to the marveis of in terest that dot the southwest land of historical attractions.

CLARKDALE SUFFERS
 A s15,OoO FIRE LOSS
(From Thursdays DailyD

News reached Prescott yesterday
 that the Bank of Arizona, postoffice and general merchandise store of the
 I. r. Miller Company, at Clarkdale, burned to the ground at two o'clock
 Wednesday morning. The bank is a branch of the bank by the same name in Prescott, and was located in the Miller company store building, as was also the postoffice. The build ing was an old frame structure, and burned like finder, it being impossi- ble 10 extinguish the blaze which was raging at full fury when discoI- cred, and which continued until nothing was left of the building or contents but a heap of ashes.
 NJ. B. Haze1tine, of the Prescott Bank of Arizona. said yesterday that the loss to the bank was nominal, as they had large fre-proof safe which contained all their money. books and valuable papers. The stamps and books of the postofhce were also in a safe and saved, but the office fix lures of all three institutions which occupied the building, were com pletely destroyed, together with the entire stock of goods.
 The store carried quite an exten- sive stock. the loss being approxi- at $l5,O00. as the connecting and contents were also destroyed. This loss is party GOV cred by insurance. The company had just completed a new brick structure and expected to move its stock into the same the first of the | new year, but it is not known wheth- |! CT the bank and postoffice were to have moved at the same time.
 The origin of the fire is a mystery put it Is thought to have been caused from the fire in a large stove in the store which was probably not com olctely out when the store was closed after business hours Tuesday even ng. l

GREAT THINGS AS
 RESULT OF RAIN
(From Thursday's DaiIy.l


 It rained again nearly all day in Prescott yesterday. late last night the clouds were heavy and it was misting and raining alternately. with prospects of an indefinite period Of wet weather yet to come. The re- marlable thing about the rain not only of yesterday. but for the past week or more. during which time a great deal of water has been precipi- tated, is that it hardly freezes even at night, resembling a spring down pour. An enormous quantity of mois- ture has fallen and the roads are very muddy all over this section of country. It is stated by those who have watched weather conditions iu Arizona for many years that it all means abundant crops next season. and IS an indication that the winter will not bring much cold weather.
 County Recorder l.. s. Colweil said yesterday that this weather re- minded him of similar conditions in 1905 in Northern Arizona. Accord ing to his statement, at that time it commenced to rain on January lst and continued nearly necessarily un- til March. there being but one or two sunshiny days during two en- tire months. And it did not stop .hen, but rained at frequent intervals until April tile following spring. He said the whole winter was warm. the rain freezing but few times, and that the rivers, gulches and gullies were filled with running water all winter. As result he said that for three or four years afterward the most abundant crops ever harvested n this part of the state were pro duced, while range conditions were better than they had ever been since He was not alone in predicting a repetition of the weather conditions of 1905 for Northern Arizona throughout this entire winter. The ground is already soaked and still soaking. and range and brousing conditions have not been better at this season for many years, while he lakes. ponds, rivers and reser- voirs Of the country are being filled 70 the brim.

JOE YOUNG HAS AP- -ias POINTED A GOOD MAN
(Efon Wednesday's DaiIy.)

..(Ffom Wednesdays Daily)
 In the, organizatioH Of fine sheriff s office after January lst, Joe Young, the, new sheriff, will have working force, about him and all over the county which will be as good as any known in the history of Navapai county s-- <.
 zti his under sheriff, T. ]. Marks, he will not only have a good field man, but a person possessing executive and clerical ability of an unusually high order Mir. Marks is at present night train dispatcher for the Santa Fe Railroad Company in Prescott a position which he has held for the past four years to the perfect satis- faction Of the company and with great credit to himself He leaves this job soon to take up the duties of position which came to him solely because Sheriff-elect Young recognizedl his superior merit and knew that he had had successful experience as a peace officer and was thoroughly capable of handling the books of the office in the very best possible form.
 T. ]. Marks lives at BOP North .Alarcon street, and has one of the most interesting and best respected families in Prescott. Mrs. Marks is especially a woman loved by all her ntighbors and acquaintances. She was practically reared in Arizona and knows about as much of the state as any person residing within its boundaries of her age. Her husband is in the prime of life, being but forty years of age.
 Before coming to Prescott the fam fly resided at Willcox. Arizona, where Mir. Marks had considerable expert ence as a deputy sheriff, which was creditable in the extreme under one of the best sheriffs who ever held that office in the largest county of the state. This experience will come in good play for him when he be- comes attached to the official staff Of Mir. Young.
 In the person Of Johnny Dial, who has been appointed as chief deputy, Mir Young, made another selection which is not only highly satisfactory 10 the general public. but will prove of great benefit to him in every di- rection. And as field deputy Guy Bozart will add force and effect to the outside administration of the of flee which will constantly be in the direction Of strict law enforcement and good government, so far as that branch of the county service goes.
 Added to these. Ben Powers, as tailor, will complete one Of the strongest sheriff's organizations that has ever been assembled in Yavapai county.
 Mir. Young is daily receiving the congratulations of his scores of friends with reference to the discre- ton and ability he has manifested in the creation of his official fami- ly.
 It is said that Mir. Poe, present relief train dispatcher, will step into the shoes left vacant at the Santa Fe depot by the resignation of Mir. Marks.
