have ore of the handsomest systems
of window displays in the city. 1t will
afford abundant opportunity for the
showing of goods. incidentally the in
terror is also receiving considerable at
tention until the entire place will be
most modern.
The Wellington quarters are having
a modern plate glass front and when
completed will afford room for mer-
camille concern of good proportions
Another change being carried out is
in the old Hartford Bank block at
Wall and Washington streets. Here the
entire front has been torn out. an in
terror staircase constructed and a base
ment dug. This will also be transform
ed into a modern business house. The
casino Saloon has been reconstructed
and is now occupied by Harry John
son with one of the finest pool and
billiard halls in the southwest. Quar-
tiers are also provided here for mod =
ern soda fountain, a cigar store and a
bootblack stand.
The store room in the block at Sec
ond street and Washington, formerly
the Hans Herlicl; saloon, has been re-
modelled and now houses a barber shop
pool and billiard hall and a barber
shop
The entire Thalheimer block, from
Third to Fourth streets on Washington
Is to be completed for the purposes
of the new Public Market and a drug
store, a grocery store, and meat mar
ket installed besides 1872 stalls for in
dividual proprietors.
Work is being rushed on the Jones
block and it is expected that most of
the tenants will be reinstalled within
three or four weeks The Busy Drug
Store proprietors expect to be in their
new quarters before the first of May,
as do also Gass Bros The Walker
building is also being carried rapidly
to completion, although the cement
constitution and the fact that this is a
two story building as compared with
one-story structure as in the case
of the Jones property, makes the work
less rapid
Altogether Washington street is un-
dergolng many changes and it will not
be long before it will present as nobby
an appearance as most of the CITY lots
after the clean up work of Saturday.

CITY CLEANED
UP SATURDAY
Big Campaign Comes to
Close With Many Good
Results Long I'm
acquainted With Rake,
Given New Appearance

"Clean Up" was the slogan Of
Phoenix Saturday. The big campaign
inaugurated by the Republican, passed
with results far exceeding the hopes
of the promoters. Everywhere both
in the business and residential Sec
ton, could be seen bands of men, and
companies of boy scouts busily AZ
work cleaning up the weeds and ceb-
ris from vacant lots, clearing the
tin cans from alleys and generally
making a big effort to make Phoenix
the cleanest town in the state.
Vacant spots arount the city that
had long enjoyed immunity Were in
vaded and made to have a changed
appearance. The sanctity of num-
oerless piles of tin cans, was shat
tered and they were ruthlessly piled
on wagons and carted away beyond
the city limits, to rest in repose no
longer making an eye-sore for PASS
ing citizens.
In addition to the paid and volun-
teer workers, the city put out gangs
of men cleaning up places that had
been refused admittance to the select
list. In such cases, the charge Of
cleaning the lots will be placed
against the property and collected
as taxes.
The theaters of the city, came to
the aid of the campaign, many of
them donating a certain portion of
one nights receipts to the fund. Nan
ager Art Kicks of the Columbia,
gave over one night, to the Boy
Scouts who took charge of the tick
cts, selling them around the city
thus adding considerably to the gen
eral fund.
Cooperation from all walks of life
was given. Busy men of affairs WHO
had not time to come out and work,
donated enough cash to hire some
non employed man to put in days
work. thus benefiting the city and al
so the unfortunate.
Supply houses handling various
clean up appurtenances. had a record
week preceding the real clean up day.
Soap and cleaning compounds were
sold as they have never been be-
fore Painters were also busy plying
the brush to places long unacquainted
with paint

HUGE GUNS TO GUARD
SAN DIEGO HARBOR

SAN DIEGO, Sept 21-Construc-
tion of heavier fortifcations at Fort
Rosecrans is to begin in two weeks,
according to government engineers
who have arrived to begin the prelim-
inarieS.
These are Major R. R. Raymond, in

Because of the advance in aircraft
attacks the war department changed
the plans.
Congress has appropriated $325,OOO
for the work.

INSURANCE CONGRESS TO

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21-Of all
the eight hundred congresses and con-

this year, one of the largest and with
out doubt the one with the most poten-
tial power for permanent betterment
of the public is the Worlds Insurance
congress, which will convene Oct.
to 16.
Over one hundred different organ
izations have appointed official dele
gates to this congress, including four
branches of the United States govern
ment-the United States Bureau of
Mines, United States Bureau of Stand
ards, United States Bureau of Com
mercial Economics and the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance.
AS the exposition is a great univer-
sity, so the main object of this
Worlds Insurance Congress is to
teach the people that insurance, as
properly classified by this exposition
for the first time under the depart
ment of social economy, means pre-
vention and protection.

CITY AND COUNTY
WIN CEMENT SUIT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21.-The city
and county were victorious in the in
junction suit brought by the River
side Portland Cement company to re-
strain the fulfillment of q contract for
the delivery of $500 barrels of cement
by the county to the city for 1925.
The Riverside company attacked the
validity of the contract, charging that
the county did not submit a certified
check as guarantee at the time the
bid was made, and also that the coun-
ty's bid contained clause "to be de-
livered out of any surplus products. %
Judge Wellborn, however, took the
view that the contract had been en-
tered into satisfactorily to the parties,
and that the county was bound to have
a surplus product. The Riverside COM
pany will appeal.

CALIFORNIA TO USE CONVICT
LABOR ON STATE HIGHWAY
AUTHORITIES WILL GIVE MODI-
FLED HONOR SYSTEM TRY-OUT
San Quentin Inmates Are Busy Making
Boots and Khaki Clothing for the
Workers-Warden to Go Into
Camp With Convicts

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 21-The first
step in the experiment of working con-
victs on the state highways under
authority of the convict labor bill,
passed in the last session of the legis-
laaure, has been taken by the state
highway commission apprOpriating g
$250,000 for this work.
Already acquisitions for the men
have been forwarded to the state
board of prison directors. Convicts in
San Quentin are busy making the
khaki working clothes and heavy boots
and shoes to be worn by the workers,
and camp outfits are being manufac-
tured for the equipment of the sew
eral camps to be established soon.
The details were announced by
State Highway Commissioner Stern,
who, with Warden James J. Johnston,
will be in direct charge of the con-
victs during the first stages of the
work to be undertaken in Mendocino
and Humboldt counties.
Present plans contemplate the con-
struction by convict labor of thirty
three miles of state highway in Men
docino county, from Cummings to the
south fork of the Eel river, and fifteen
miles in Humboldt county, from Mir
anda to Barberville.
Three camps, working on the unit
system of sixty men to each camp,
first will begin in Mendocino county.
These camps will consist of working
crew-the road builders-the cooking
or camp-tending crew and the policing
crew. There will be no guards and no
armed forces.
This system will be under the gen.
eral supervision of the state highway
commission and the state board of
prison directors, the first to have COM
plete charge of the labor features,
while the prison directors will have
charge of the disciplining features and
the administration of camp life.
Commissioner Stern and Warden
the convicts. They will sleep in the
camp tents and eat at the camp mess.
They will share the life of the con-
victs in the mountains, making a study
of the states prison labor experiment
with the object of perfecting the sys-
tenn for the benefit alike of the men
and the state.
Each camp will have a superinten-
dent and foreman in direct charge.
The system to be used will be the Col
orado modified honor system. AS soon
as the experiment has been thorough
ly tested, arrangements will be made
to establish convict camps in other
parts of the state, and several thou
sand prisoners will eventually be used
in the construction of state roads.

10000 ACRES TO BE
OPENED TO ENTRY

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 21.-By proc
lamation of President Wilson, 100000
acres of the Cleveland National forest
reserve will be thrown open to entry
early in November, according to infor-
nation received by Receiver Mitchell
of the federal land Office.
Most of the reserve lies in San
Diego county and a portion in River
side county. Because of prior patents,
however, it is estimated by the local
federal officials that less than 100000
acres will actually be opened to new
settlers
A great portion of the land is rock
covered and unfit for farming. Since
rumors of the opening have been in
circulation the local land office has
been besieged with inquiries. The in
formation is not in the hands of the
local Office, but when it arrives notice
will be given to the public.

Los ANGELES COUNTY TAX
RATE Will BE 94 CENTS
LEVY FOR COUNTY SCHOOLS TO
BE IL CENTS ON EACH 500
Tax Rate Is Exclusive Of Special
School Observation-Disclosures Is
Also Made for Flood Control
Throughout County

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21.-Ninety-
four cents will be the new county tax
rate, exclusive of the special school
taxes.
Based on the allowances made by
the budget committee of the board of
supervisors, it was reported by Coun-
ty Auditor w. A. Lewis by the board
and adopted unanimously. 1t follows:
General county rate, including sal
aries and general expenses, 57.8
cents; Los Angeles county highway
bonds and interest, cents; flood con-
troll, Z cent; common schools, II
cents; special high school levy, 14.5
cents; total, 94 cents.
This, rate is exclusive of the special
school tax assessed in the several
school districts in the county.
These are 80 cents for elementary
schools, 6 cents for kindergartens, 81
cents for high school, and IL cents for
interest and sinking fund require
ments. The total of the special school
taxes is SO cents, and brings the total
rate, both general and school, to be as
sessed against the property of the Los
Angeles city school district up to $1.63,
as against a total rate last year of
$1.55.
The board of education had asked
for rate of Is cents to care for it's
bond charges, but the supervisors al
lowed only sufficient to care for those
bonds maturing during the coming
year, and found that 12 cents would
cover this.
The special assessment for the
county free library was fixed at 2
cents, and the road district tax at 40
cents
superintendent Francis of the Los
Angeles city schools and members of
the board of education made strong
protest against the reduction of their
proposed rate of 21 cents for common
school purposes, included in the gen.
eral county levy, to II cents; but the
board voted unanimously to sustain
the recommendation of the budget
committee.

CONGRESS HOLDS SESSION
TWENTY SECOND annual MEETING VOTES TO APPOINT COM
MITTEES ON RURAL CREDITS AND IRRIGATION FINANCES
Will Be Composed of One Member From Each Western State and Province
1t Will Be Their Duty to Study Systems Now Operation and
Report at the Next Session Which Will Be Held in Paso

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 20. = The
twenty-second International Irrigation
congress held it's business session in
the assembly chamber Saturday morn
ing, and brought it's labors to definite
next session, which may be held in Ell
Paso.
There was but little debate on the
report of the resolutions committee,
except on the point of specific advo-
cacy of the Newlands bill for regula-
tion and control of rivers, and on the
rural credits recommendation. The
German landschaft system was urged
as preferable to the Australian system
of advances to settlers, but Professor
Elwood Mead made it clear with few
sentences that the German plan is
practicable only in old settled coun-
veloping regions.
Resolution on Rural Credits
Germany does not attempt to estab-
lish the landschaft in her colonies. 1t
is not possible to establish cooperative
institutions among the people of new
country who do not know one another.
The rural credit policy recommended
by the committee is justified by re-
suits of operation in New Zealand and
Australia, and has been adopted after
long study and thorough investigation
by British Columbia.
The rural credits resolution as
finally adopted is as follows:
= Resolved, That this congress ap-
point committee on rural credits,
land settlement and irrigation finances,
to be composed of one member from
each Western state and province, to
make study of systems now in opera
tion and to submit a report with it's
recommendations at the next session
