wooden and iron posts fed from under
ground lines will be replaced by single
400 candle power unit ornamental posts

ance outside the ornamental district the

CeIlulose in All Vegetable Tissues

Of course, the extensive use of wood
pulp for articles of clothing is not
strange. Cellulose, which is employed
in enormous quantities in the fibrous
state in the form of cotton, linen, jute,
hemp, etc., is the chief component of
all vegetable tissues, in which it ex-
lists in elongated cells or fibers. Cot
ton wool and filter paper are almost
pure cellulose. 1t is only matter of
technical skill to convert to textile
uses the cellulose of the spruce tree
instead OF using that of the cotton
plant. In the manufacture of hardware
purity is not so essential, high pres
sure and strong adhesive being the
great factors.

The Snowflake Herald editor
has been digging in the musty
tones of the law, and digs out
a section that has reference to
Judge Sapp selling his law library
to Navajo county for $1,000 of the
taxpayers money. He refers us
to Paragraph 2437 of the Revised
Statutes of Arizona, which reads
as follows:
No demand on the county treas
ury wherein any county officer
shall be personally interested, or
arising out of any contract where
in any county officer shall at any
time while in office have been a
party or otherwise personally
interested, shall be approved, al
lowed or paid, but every such
contract, claim or demand is
hereby declared null and void,
except for official compensation
of the persons in whose name it
is presented.
Judge Sapp is a county official
under the provisions of this sec
ton, and he certainly was inter-
eSted in the contract to saddle
his law library on the county.
The speed with which the deal
went through ought to be admit
ted in this case as circumstantial
evidence of honesty of purpose.
On the 4th of January the super
visors allowed the claim, and the
morning of the 5th, even before
the demand was put into a war
rant, Judge Sapp files an assign
ment of the warrant to the Mer-
chants and Stockgrowers Bank.
Why all this haste? Was it for
the purpose of heading off any
attempt to enjoin the payment
of the claim? The taxpayers
still have their remedy, and that
lies in a suit against the men,
bers of the board of supervisors
and their bondsmen within one
year, and such a suit will proba-
bly, be instituted within the next
few weeks, as soon as the COM
plete history of the transaction
can be investigated.

A vice commission in Illinois
has just made it's report to the
governor, in which it attributes
about Is per cent of the immor-
ality among young women in the
cities due to starvation wages
paid in the sweat shops and the
cheap department stores. We
mention this matter for the pur-
pose of calling attention of the
people who patronize cheap mail
order house to probably the prin-
cipJe reason they might save a
penny on a dollar purchase with
these concerns. Our local mer-
chants pay not only the men but
the lady clerks also, good sub
sJantial salaries, SO they main
tain themselves with all the COM
forts of other trade and profess
sions. And our citizens should
think of these things when they
feel tempted to send their money
out of town to mail order houses.
Admitting for the sake of the ar
gument that you might save a
few dollars on a years purchase,
is it not better that the money be
kept at home, and your pittance
of a saving be distributed as sal
aries among the numerous young
ladies employed in our local es-
adjustments. Taking the most
optomistic view of the alleged
savings on the total of all mail
order house purchases for a year
by our people would not pay the
salary for the same length of
time of any lady clerk now en-
ployed in our city. This is an
economic question that deserves
the closest analysis by our wo-
men, who are the family shop
pers.

National Committeeman Ralpk

National Committeeman Ralph
Cameron is quoted as favoring
Henry D. Esterbrook, now of
New York City, as the republi-
can presidential nominee. If he
is correctly reported, Mr.. Came
ron is on the right track once for
sure. The Mail editor has an
acquaintance with Mr.. Ester
brook dating back to 1883, when
he was a brilliant and rising
young lawyer in Omaha, Ne
braska, and during all the years
of his residence in that state
he was held in high esteem as
a man of high ideals, a close
student of government, and pos
'sessed of craftsmanship ability.
He is of the new school of poll
tics which adheres to the doc
trine that governments are in
stituted and maintained for the
benefit of the people, and not for
spoilation by the few. 1t is for
holding these tenets sacred that
we doubt the success of his can
didacy, unless there is radical
change in party control in the

Can the Cannery.


that town ought to have a can
ming factory, prompted to the
idea no doubt by the boosting
literature of a Chicago firm who
are in the business building can
merry at prices ranging from
SIS. 900 up as high as the stock
sold will permit. The profit of
the promoting and erecting firm
is easily 65 per cent of the total
contract price of the cannery,
which accounts for the interest
the promoters have in working
gullible communities to organize
stock companies. The Guardian
would better be serving the in
terests of its city and surround
ing territory if it opposed the
cannery scheme, and save the
people from getting bit by pro-
moters who need the money. If
it really wants to try out a can
merry scheme we will be glad to
tell the Guardian where they can
buy SIS, 900 cannery, built two
years ago, and only operated six
ty days, for $4,000 without the
building, a frame structure that
can be duplicated for $500 in
this state. The cost of boxing,
transporting and setting up the
machinery will not exceed $400,
which will give Stafford a can
merry for $4,000, for which the
Chicago promoters raked in SIS,
900, and we have no doubt the
same outfit that is tempting our
neighbor to bite.
The smooth promoter has a
captivating manner, and his word
painting of a great canning in
dustry, furnishing employment
for an army of men and women,
the rich profits of the vegetable
grower, and the fine large divi-
dends of the cannery. Is is any
wonder that the suckers bite. He
forgets to tell you it takes sever
al years to educate farmers to
raise vegetables for the cannery,
that under the most favorable
conditions the cannery can only
operate about four months in the
year, and the big profits were fig
ured on a steady run; he never
mentions the matter of the cap
ital tied up in the cans that have
| to be bought in carlots, the boxes
for packing, and the printing Of
the labels; he fails to mention
the farmer must be paid cash on
delivery of his products, and the
cannery can only convert it's out
put in cash at the close of the
season. Then there is the mat
ter of finding a good market, the
Incidental loses from inexper-
|ience in the business. When all
these things are figured out the
stock company cannery is simply
a graveyard for the certain in
terment of all the money poured
into the game. The only money
made out OF these promotion can
neries adheres strictly to the
promoter. We know. Stafford
people could have a lot more fun
if they took the money and open
ed a big poker game, and invited
some of US WinsloW fellows down
to sit in. The results would be
the same as buying a cannery,
but they would have the satis-
faction of knowing the money
was kept in Arizona, instead of
sending it to Chicago.
