AUTO FIRE ENGINE
NEEDED FOR HILLTOP.

The progress made in the different
boroughs of the Eastern end of Ber-
gen county along the lines of i'm
proved fire apparatus indicates a dis
tinct step forward in the right direc-
ton. There have been any number
Of fires in Grantwood, Cliffside and
Palisade that could have been nipped
in the bud had there been an auto
mobile engine anywhere in the neigh
borhood. The time has arrived when
auto fire apparatus is no longer a
luxury, but a distinct necessity. 1t is
great saving in the long run, and
is as far ahead of the water works
pressure system as the old hand pump
engine was behind the steam fire en-
gine. With an automobile fire engine
it does not make any difference what
the pressure may be. Thus COM
munlty need not be held at all at
the mercy of water pressure, which in
this neighborhood has given many
evidences of its total lack of depend
ability An auto engine is ready at
the crack of the whip to get at the
fire, and it takes no time at all to
get on the job once the blaze is To-
Gated. Grantwood, Cliffside and Pail
SADIE should lose no time in getting
together on some form of cooperative
effort to secure this kind of fire pro-
lection, and that with as little delay
as possible. The cost of fire risks
will fall appreciably when it is known
that we have placed the maximum
OF protection on our property.

To Erect Monument at
Brink of Grand Canyon

To erect the government mon
ument to early explorers of the
Grand Canyon, Engineer Walter
Ward of the reclamation service
and a crew of 20 men left Phoe-
nix for the north the other day.
They took with them a number
of teams and wagons to be used
in hauling materials to the site
selected for the monument and a
car of outfit and will be away for
several weeks.
The monument was provided
for by a recent act of congress
and is to be erected at the brink
of the mighty chasm not far
from the railroad terminus. A
bronze tablet, bearing the names
of Major Powell and others
among the first to explore the
canyons depths, has already been
prepared and will form a part of
the monument.

Sycamore Wins Prize

That the largest shade tree in
the United States, as brought
to light by the prize contest held
by the American Genetic Asso-
citation, should turn out to be
the eastern sycamore is not sur
prising, say government forest
ers. The sycamore has long
been regarded as the largest
deciduous tree in North America
and it's range of growth is hard
ly second to that of any other
broad-leaf tree, for it can be
found from Maine to Florida,
and as far west as Kansas.
The bestowal of the prize on
a sycamore at Worthington, In
diana, which is 42 feet 3 inches
in circumference and $50 feet
tall, draws attention to the fact
that foresters are nowadays
recommending the species es-
pecially for city planting. They
say that long experience with
sycamores planted in city streets
has shown that the species is
peculiarly able to withstand the
smoke, dust and gases which
are usually an unavoidable COM
plement of urban life. In addi-
ton. the sycamore is as resistant
to attacks of insects and fungi
as almost any species, and is a
quick grower; at ten years of
age, a healthy sycamore usually
is already large enough for
shade as well as for decorative
purposes.

News Notes of the
Arizona State Fair

The month between Oct. 1st
and Nov. 1st each year is re-
served by Secretary Shaugh-
messy of the Arizona State Fair
as the ''box sale month" be-
cause, during that time, the box
seats in the grand stand are
sold. The whole month is al
lowed for this sale in order that
those in the remote parts of the
state may have an opportunity
to reserve boxes for the accom-
mediation of themselves a n d
their friends during the gala
week. The price for the boxes,
which contain six seats, will be
$25, the same as the price last
year. This $25 rate is for the
entire week. However, no boxes
will be reserved unless the res
ervation order is accompanied
by a check of $25.
Although fifty additional boxes
were added to the grand stand
last year, the demand was so
great that these were all taken
before the first of November.
There is no doubt that the de-
mand will be just as great this
year, so prospective applicants
are urged to send in their res
ervations an d accompanying
checks as soon as possible, so as
not to be disappointed. On No
vem5er 1st the drawing for the
boxes will be held, according tc
the order in which the checks
are received.
October first marks the end OF
the entry season for the big
harness events to be held at the
fair. Among these events are
those for the faster Arizona
horses-the 2::25 trot and the
2:2O pace.
Interest in the harness event.
this year is exceptionally gooC
owing to the fact that there
have been a number of good sta
bles in the west, both from the
Grand and the Great Western
Circuits. Phoenix is on both Of
these horse maps, and conse
quently great racing will be the
card as the best of both will be
on to get a bit out of the big
purses.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
THE LOCAL WIRELESS

1 To the Editor of The Republican,
 Sir: I feel that I cannot allow some idle and minimizing remarks that appeared in your journal of yes terday morning to pass unnoticed. Your contributor "Remlill' takes oc- casion, in his superior wisdom, to impuen the relia bility of wireless or radio telegraph service. Whatever Justification "Remlik'' may have for applying his remarks to wireless in general they are entirely untrue as regards the focal service. Since there is q wireless or radio station in Phoenix open for public service, and as "Remlik' does not particulariZe his remarks obviously lose their gen eral significance and acquire only To- cal relevance. Our customers who have been patronizing us constantly for a number of years past will doubtless be surprised to learn what an unreliable medium of communica- tiOr they have been using and won dering how they get such certain re- suits. Of course "Remlik' only means a news service but if we are good for regular telegraph business we surely are good for news service also, as both are transmitted in tHe same manner. Why We do not handle local press is quite obvious to anyone at all familiar with press or telegraph work No doubt "Remlik" has in mind some of the spectacular transatlantic wireless stations which communicates. I believe, with varying success but is quite oblivious to the quiet hut efficient work done across the Pacific between San Fran cisco and Honolulu, a distance of 250O miles, by the Federal Telegraph Company. This service is carried on regularly both day and night and in- cidentallv a page of press is sent daily. Now, MT. Editor, I hope in justice to us as well as for the en- ightenment of your contributor that you will publish the foregoing We are here to render public service and tie remarks referred to are calcu- lated to injure our business unless contradicted
 Yours very truIy,
 J. P O'LEARY.

 That clearly, from the governments point of view, was dangerous state of affairs; rendered still more dangerous by a similar change of complexion in the council empire.

MUSICAL SEASON
 FORMALLY OPENED
Appropriate Ceremonies at School of
 Music

The Phoenix musical season opened in a blaze of artistic glory last even ing when Mrs. Shirley Cnristy, di- rector of the Arizona School of Music, presented Franz Darvas, head of the piano department as the first Of her faculty recitals. MT. Darvas is truly an artist. Again and again this young genius held his auditors spellbound by his marvellous display of eS.ed pianistic ability.
 The program opened with Schu- manns Variations sur le non Abegg followed by Papillons, which was masterfully played. Strange as it may seem, Mir Darvas' greatness be- comes nowhere so apparent as when he plays Chopin. The thrilling beau ty of the Sonata in B. minor was indescribable. LisZt's La Campanella as he plays it is transporting, and the same masters Eleventh Rhap- sodie is reborn to a glory it has probably not enjoyed since the days of it's maker while the MaZeppa was played with all it's fire and poetic beauty. Mir Darvas' wonderful en- ployment of dynamics, in cOnjunc- tion with a technique to make the nearer gasp, represents something that could not be acquired; it is born genius.
 The audiences enthusiasm was un- bounded during the evening MT. Darvas was compelled to respond to several ovations.
 Mrs Christy is indeed fortunate in securing such an artist for the head of her piano department.
