Butterflies Hover
 On Jewe1rY

~HE bluebird as fashionable fetish is no longer 'in it'-to borrow - from school-boy slang-for the butterfly has fluttered into favor and now enthralls feminine fancy. But terfies of colored enamel boise on almost bare shoulders, alight on bod ices, tremble over the coiffure, spread themselves, barette-fashion, across the back hair and even clasp fashionable handbags. In other words, butter flies are mounted on brooches, lace- pins, hair-combs and pins, barrettes. bracelets and the like. Theatre hand bags of velvet or richly brocaded silk have butterfly clasps. enameled to match the bag-and the enameled clasps bring the price of the bag up to twenty odd dollars or so.

 All through January the Russian dancers will be in New York, and dur ing February and March they will make tour of the important cities of North America. Paris and London have gone mad over these dancers and over the weird, fascinating, in- describably beautiful fantasies which their dances interpret and express. Individual Russian dancers have wis., ited America in past seasons but never before has there been oppor- tunity, here, to see the complete spec tacle of the Ballet Russe: the dancers against their own backgrounds. in their own environment. M de Diag- hileff has brought with him his full company-fifty or more dancers and at their head stand the incomparable Nijinsky, the most beautiful and most wonderful male dancer of the present day; and Karsavina said to be the subtlest exponent of her art in any

Train Employe Crippled Every
3lz Minutes.

31a Minutes.
Railroad officials lay much
stress on the statement, that "18
per cent Of all railroad employees
now receive 2S per cent Of the to-
tai wages paid. "
This claim means nothing what
ever, because ii fails to take into
consideration the years Of prepa-
ration for the job and the fact
that the line between life and
death is so thin, that when a train
employe leaves on his run, he is
never sure when he will return.
The last annual report Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
shows that a train man is killed
on an average of every four hours
and forty minutes, and a man
crippled every three minutes and
thirty seconds. And this does not
tell all the story, because If man
does not die from his injuries in
twenty four hours, he is not re-
ported to the commission as killed
and unless the injury disables him
for three days he is not counted
as injured.
Out of every 100 men who start
work as firemcn, only IL ever
become engineers, out Of every 100 /
men who do become engineers, on
" 6 become passenger engineers.
The average length Of service
is eleven and a half years.
Train service employees are pick
ed men in every sense Of the word.
Few realize the rigid physical
examination they are required to
pass and which is more severe

nent requires for enlistment in

Physical examinations are re-
Deated every two or three years.

The annual convention of the Ma tional Wool Growers Association will begin today and will continue in ses- sion for three days. It will be one of the most important meetings in the history of the association for since the last convention some new problems have arisen and older ones have become more complicated.
 A feature of the meeting will be the bringing closer the relations be- tween the wool growers and the cat tie interests though for some years they have been gradually approach ing each other. At the request of the association, President Dwight B. Heard of the American National Live Stock association will appear before the convention and deliver an address and President Hagenarth of the Ma tional Wool Growers will be a guest of the convention of the American National Live Stock association at Fl Paso beginning January 25 and he will deliver an address.

 PHOENIX VISITOR

Tom Rynning is in town. Tie for Florence and captain of the Arizona Rangers, came over from san Diego, in company with City Detective H. o. Fish of the Exposition City, who brought warrants for Ralph Hartman, II. Nelson, A. R. Peterson and l. c. Michael, charging the theft of an auto mobile. The story of the theft of the machine and the apprehension of the four young men at Florence was printed in The Repubncan several days ago. The prisoners have since been held at the county jail pending the arrival of the San Diego officers. Governor Hunt late yesterday signed the requisition papers for their extra dition to California.
 Captain Ryrning said that this is the first time he has been in Arizona in so long that he feels somewhat like Rip Van Wrinkle must have felt after his long sleep in the Catskills He sees so many changes and so many new faces he wonders if it really is the Phoenix of the old days. But everywhere he goes he is nailed by somebody who remembers his first name better than his last, and so he guesses it must be all right.
 Detective Fish yesterday made ar engagements for the shipment back to San Diego of the car which had been stolen and which resulted in the arrest of the four men. He and Cap tain Rynning will leave tonight with their prisoners.

WILL RECLAIM MANY
 ACRES AT MAR|C0PA
Phoenix Company Back ot Irrigation and Townslte
 Project on Espee Line

Reclamation and development of 12,OOO acres of land lying east of Mari copa on the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad has been begun by the Whyman Land x Development com pany of this city, which has already started work on the first of several pumping units to be installed. A town site of eighty acres surrounding the station at Maricopa is being laid out and work on new hotel and office building for the company and several new stores will be under way within thirty days.
 Oil burning engines or 14G horse Npower each will drive the pumps which will furnish ~43O0 gallons of water per minute at each of the seven units. These will consist of three wells connected by main tunnels with a cen tral pit, and will be similar in plan to the units installed by the same com pany in the Higley. and South Chand- Ter districts.
 That there is an abundance and de- pendable supply of water from the underground flow of the Santa Cruz wash is the statement of R. o. Why man, president of the company, who has made extensive engineering inVes- tigations of the project. The wash outs diagonally across the tract of land which the company recently secured, the deal being made through Moore X Hayes of this city. The company plans to divide this land into tracts of from forty to one hundred and sixty acres and to offer same to settlers at from $50 to $65 per acre. Small tracts of five and ten acres will be laid out close to Maricopa which it is predict ed will have a population of 1900 with in a year. As the land is sold the units will be transferred to the pur- chaser, who will thus retain entire control of the project.
 The Whyman brothers have recently installed number of pumping plants in the Casa Grande district where about S600 acres have been reclaimed and also in the Higley district They are also interested in similar develop ment in the Panhandle district in Texas where pumping from much greater depth than will be necessary at Maricopa has proven successful.
