COMMISSION WILL
 FIGHT ARBITRARY

Formal protest against the arbitrary charge to Phoenix over points on the main line will shortly be filed with the interstate commerce commission by the corporation commission. The addition of the arbitrary to all classes was made July ,. when the new intermountan rate order went into effect, and results in an increase in the rates on several items, while the reductions in many are so small as to be negligible.
 The commission will take the ground htat the rate to Phoenix from the east should not be any higher than to Yuma or other points west of here and located on the main line The additional cost Of transportation through a junction print. it is pointed out does not justify the addition of such an arbitrary charge which is now in effect. and every effort will be made to have T modified or annulled Prescott, Wick enburg and Parker. as well as Salt River Valley points are affected by the arbitrary charge

CORRECTION ON THE
 CORNELL ROWING TIME

The recent announcement of the In tercOllegiate Rowing Association. re ducing the time of all the crews in the Paughkeepsie regatta by one minute. calls attention To the fact that neither timers or stop watches are infallable. In the case of this race the watch of the chief timer jumped" a minute at the start and as a result the time or Cornell. the winning crew was given as 20m36 3-5s instead of l9m 36 3-5c
 While such mistakes are unusual. CT TOTS do occasionally creep into the rec ords and are not always corrected as was done in this case. The stop watch used for timing athletic and sporting events is an exceedingly delicate piece of mechanism and has to be handled with care and respect. It contains about four times the amount of ma chinery that goes to make up an ordin- ary watch and there is consequently four times as much mechanism to get out of order. It requires a full days work on the part of an expert watch repairer to correct a fault or break and careful timers keep from two to three watches on hand and have them in spected at least once a month.
 They range in price from sixty-five 10 two hundred and fifty dollars and the highest price watches have six hands all working when timing an event Three moves are necessary in timing. One press of the finger starts the watch, second stops the hands registering the time and the third sends the hands back to normal again. Moth ing but porpoise head oil is used to lubricate the works and the oil. cost ing Sl5O gallon, is dropped in with morphine needle. These watches are set to tick at the rate of five to the second; 300 per minute and 1s,OOO per hour Some Of the older watches tick at the rate of four times per second, giving quarter-second time although the watch dial shows fifth second time.

TOKYO GETS NEXT
 OLYMPIC JOURNEYS

Arrangements have been made to hold the next Olympic Games of the Far East in Tokio, Japan in May 1917. Since the institution of the games at Manila, the tournament has been very popular and the decision to hold the next bi-annual meet at Tokio has caused great satisfaction among the Japanese who are showing steadily increasing interest in ath- letics.

 II is expects> that the Tokio tour nament will draw the largest list of entries since the beginning of the Far Eastern Olympiad. Ellwood S. Brown. secretary of the Far Eastern Athletic Association. who has been making the arrangements says that China will send at least 15O athletics in 1917 The Philippines Islands will send ahout eihtv. while Siam and the Malay States. the new members of the Association. will send about twen- ty each.

"PIunderer" A Wonder

In "The Plunderer" which is playing again at the Lamara theater today, William Farnum has done one of the finest pieces of work of his career. Taken in d section of the country best suited for the depletion of such scenes, the mining portions of this pie ture are splendid.
 Mir. Farnum is at his best in the role of a red bloOded American. He engag- es in a free for al. fight with twenty drink crazed and gold hunting miners who have attempted to tie up the Croix d' Or mine with a strike and this is one of the finest scenes ever seen in any picture. For pure stand up and knock down fighting it beats anything in pictures.
 Farnum comes into the fight in the most spectacular manner. He actually jumps into the middle of the fight just as performer jumps into the sand pile
