big WESTERN RATE
Case UP IN MARCH
General Advances Proposed by Western
Roads to be Heard by !. c. c.
at Chicago

Proposed advances in rates on west
ern roads equalling the five per cent
increase recently allowed eastern car
riers by the corporation commission,
and the complaint of western railway
commissioners against the raise, will
come up for a general hearing at Chi
cago before Commissioner Daniels on
March A.
Even before the five per cent in
crease was granted eastern roads, car
riers over the west began boosting
rates little here and little there, in
an effort to get additional revenue The
matter came up for consideration at
the meeting of the National Associa-
ton of Railway commissioners at
Washington last November and formal
complaint was filed with the interstate
commission by representatives from
western states. A conference was also
held at omaha, soon after the meeting
at Washington and steps taken to Sc
cure a suspension of some fifty tariffs
which had just been published
The proposed increase in transconti-
mental passenger rates, suspension of
which will doubtless be granted, will
probably come up for hearing at the
same session, which will last until
April 10. The Arizona corporation
commission will be represented at the
| hearings.

SEARS MISSING, LAST

Deputy Sheriff Geo. Sears is

to Payson to secure several witnesses

Deputy Sears started out in a

as his two good legs could carry
him through the sticky mud.
Meanwhile the case is hung up,
waiting for Sears to appear with his
witnesses. 1t is not known whether
he will make them walk back to

one, that he will return with them,
if he has to carry them through on

ton of Funds Devoted to
That Purpose

That ella countys proportion Of

putting the Globe Roosevelt road in

this part of the scenic highway is in
such shape that it will be open al

vision Engineer F. G. Twitcheli in his
latest report TO the state engineer
Elimination of heavy grades and
sharp curves between Pinto creek and
Newton, and several changes in loca-
ton between Pinto creek and New
ton are among the Improvements in
the present road advised by Twitch-
ell, whose report covers the work
done on the highway Cor the last six
months of 1914. Permanent bridges
and culverts of substantial construc-
ton are recommended wherever nee
essary to protect the road against the
washing caused by heavy rains. Pinto
creek and Miami wash, the report
says. carry such a volume of water
that they are at times impossible

hause caused serious damage to the
highway when in flood.
The report shows that almost two

half miles Of the highway reconstruct
ed. This rebuilding consisted in wild
ening the road to eighteen feet, ex-
cavating surface bitches of ample size
to take care of the drainage, and ana
installing culverts. The force of
thirty-eight men and thirteen teams
employed on the road maintained the
road in the vicinity of the prison road
camp throughout sthe six months
period, an average distance oc thir
teen miles being covered in this way.
Relative to conditions and recommen-
dations, the rephrt says in part:

surface bitches, which were omitted

ton on account Of scarcity of funds,
some portions Of this road had been

The peculiar status of all diplo-

wherein no government is recog-
nized, and it is believed many Off
Gals will probably override the tech
nical point that the Spanish Min
lister could enjoy no diplomatic i'm
munities because he had not pre-
scented his credentials. 1t is sug-
gested that Caro's appointment by
the Spanish government would in
the circumstances constitute suffi-
cient proof of official status for any
de facto government, and should in
spire the same respect as that usu-
ally given diplomatic representatives
The Spanish government may have

whether or not the fixed policy of

matter Of wide conjecture.
