 When the two officers who have been experimenting the ignominious activities of the plain drunks". lined up yesterday with a report that as to prisoners to superintend, there simply wasn't no such animal, Magistrate Mcbride discharged them with the at titude of a man who is getting rid of an old and honorable institution. The Phoenix chain gang has existed for a long time. It has sometimes reached respectable proportions-if the propor- tonS of a set of I'd. and d.'s" can be called respectable.
 At one time there were two chain gangs. And there was also a gang on the city rock pile. Another filled in at the city garbage depot.
 Now, there is none.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4-For the first time since wheat scared above the high price level made on September , at the most exciting crisis of the German advance on Paris, on Euro pean buying that seemed nearly re- gardless of cost. wheat touched $1.3424 a bushel for May deliverey. The September record was $132 which until this morning had been the topmost pinnacle of value since the apex of the famous James Pat ton corner" in May. 19O9, when quotations reached $1.35A.
 The closing prices today were the strongest with gains of 2% cents to 3E cents, compared with Satur- day night. The broadening out of the purchase of wheat began at the very outset this morning, but it was not until during the last hour of bus mess that the trading bordered on the sensational. Even then there was no wild furry.
 Europes bitter need of bread. coupled with the fact that ocean freight rates held Argentine wheat so high that it seemed doubtful whether quarter of the contracts already made to supply South Amer ican wheat to Europe could be car ried out, caused spectacular buying. Buying of wheat also gave strength to corn and oats. Provisions were kept down by a large increase in warehouse stocks of pork and ribs

 In view of the fact that the Water Users association yesterday, passed an appropriation for thousand dollars toward the salary and expenses of a farm advisor for the Salt River valley, the announcement of the Working lee earnest desire of the arrangements committee that a great number of far mers interest themselves in the move ment, and show it by turning out for the lecture.

 The thousand dollar appropriation flor the salary of the farm advisor, is calculated 10 hold him until some oth- CT funds, secured by the University of Arizona experiment station become available on July 1.
 The appointment was to have taken effect on January 1, but no one has vet been named. However, as things are now all prepared for the selection, the incumbent will probably be named very shortly.

and by big receipts of hogs. Lard, grain.
 Notwithstanding that wheat at one time showed a rise of 34 cents over Saturday night, the upturn apparently had little, if any, effect on the farmers. Country offerings were decidedly mea- ger as they have been for some time past
 Although the prime impetus for high prices came from seemingly unlimited export demand. there was no doubt that the general public bought wheat heav- fly and especially so in the last hour of the season.
 MilleTs too, were said to be anxious buyers, fearing that the tremendous eX- port call would letve them short of supplies. Roughly. the total sales to Europe today in the United States were estimated at 5000, 900 bushels Of this aggregate, 75O,O0O bushels was defin- itely known to be for the relief of the starving people of Belgium.
 Experienced observers failed to not ice any unusual excitement despite the swift upward swing of the market. The one striking fact Was the steady ab sorption of every bushel of wheat off cred for sale.
 Talk among brokers centered almost wholly on the fact that for the time being, the United States was virtually the only big exporting nation in the world

The Central bank of Phoenix. the latest addition to the financial insti- tutions of the city, will open for busi ness in the quarters formerly occupied by the Union Bank and Trust Com pany within the next ten days. This announcement was made by Judge Richard E. Sloan, counsel for the bank, following the filing of articles of incorporation yesterday with the corporation commission
 The new institution which will transact a general banking business, is capitalized at $100,000 and backed by men of large means and the high est standing in financial circles The capital stock is divided into 1000 shares of a par value of $100 each. Half of the entire capital stock was subscribed for and paid in before application was made for permission to engage in business. The total in debtedness to which the corporation shall be subject is two-thirds of the capital stock or S66, ,666.66.
 In connection with the opening of the new bank there will be estab-
 
 the Anchor Trust Co. of Wichita, Kansas, one of the strongest institu- tiOns of it's kind in the west and one that has most important eastern con- nectiOns. The trust company although affiliated, will be conducted as a sep arate and distinct institution from the bank and will deal in mortgages on country and city propery. P K Lewis. who is president of the An chor Trust Company. will reach the city this week to take charge of the new bank and to establish the branch office of the Wichita institution. Tr Lewis will make his home in Phoenix but will retain his position as head of the Wichita institution.
 The opening of a branch of the Anchor Trust company in Phoenix is one of the most important features of the coming of the new bank to Sloan yesterday in speaking of the new institutions. The trust company will provide a service for the com munity that has been performed hith- erto in only a limited way and will handle time loans that are not readily taken care of by banking institutions
 Papers are now being prepared for the incorporation of the new branch office of the trust company and will be filed in a very short time Judge Sloan stated last evening that the new bank would probably be open for business inside the next ten days
 Articles of incorporation of the new bank provide that the board of direc- tors to be chosen from the stock holders of the corporation shall con- sist of not less than five or more than nine members For the present the incorporatOrs will act as the directors of the institution, although it is stated that a number of prominent local business men will be connected with the new institution. The annual meet ing of stockholders is to be held on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January each year
 The opening of the new bank and the branch office of the trust com pany for which preparations have been made for several months was not announced until after the reorganiza- tion of the Valley Bank, for the req son that the men behind the new in stitution did not wish to take any step that might in any way affect the opening of that institution
