 BOOSTING VALLEY
Raymond -Whitcombc Con- pany Puts Out Neat
 Booklet On Valley

very handsome and beautifully printed booklet has been received by Secretary Harry Wclch of the local chamber of commerce from the Ray nd-Whitcomb Tours company of New York, the book being a finely il- lustrated, description of a number of tho companys western tours What makes the publication of interest to Arizonians is the fact that this state comes in for goodly share Of the de- scriptive writings contained in the book, and the states splendid climate merited recognition.
 An especially good write-up is given to the Apache Trail. The story being illustrated by views of the Roosevelt road and dam. In speaking of the highway the text has the following to say:
 The remarkable trip by automobile over the Apache Trail. through the Arizona National Forest Reserve, is the most varied and interesting days automobile trip in the world. A rib bon of road-once Indian train. now government built hiehway-runs for one hundred and twenty miles through magnificent mountain defiles and across sun washed stretches of desert steepcd in the magic coloring of the dry Arizona air. All the varied inter ests of the southW est are crowded into eight hours of sightseeing along this marvellous route. which include Cliff Dwellings of oldest America. the copper camps of Globe and the oasis city Of Phoenix, the thrilling Gorge of the Salt River. with some of the finest scenery in the world, and the great Roosevelt dam. the greatest engineer ing feat in the southwest
 "'The historic interest of the trail is unsurpa ssed. It is the oldest highway in America. Ages and ages ago. at a time SO remote that it cannot be fixed with certainty. the Salt River was the seat of highly civilized race We can see today the ruins of their ca stle homes and traces of the i'm mense irrigation works with which they reclaimed the valley.
 The great Roosevelt dam is one of the most interesting features of the trip. Erected at the most of millions Of dollars it has walled in q mountain pass quarter of a mile wide, has ere ated lake sixteen miles long and has turned q quarter of million acres of dust and desolation into one of the garden spots of the world

Republican A. P. Leased Wire]
 NEW YORK, Jan. , CNan StreeD- The salient feature of today's fever isl market was it's steady resistance to pressure.
 At the active opening of the market gains of l to 3 points were made by various issues. chiefly coppers Lack awanna Steel and some of the less active specialties. Rails in general rose fractiOnally.
 Heavier offerings of specia. descrip- tiOns, notably oils and automobile is sues gave the market another setback during the late session. Prices con tinued to sag, almost the only eNcep- tion being Lackawanna Steel. which made an extreme advance of 7-S points to S5 7-S in connection with more or less familiar rumors of a deal. Coppers as group were steady. To- tai sales of stocks aggregated 920,0o0 shares.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par value, aggregated S5,440,0G0.
 L. $. bonds were unchanged on call.

WATER METERS
 BOTHER SOLONS
Protest Against Installation of Meters to Suburban Services Carries for Time Being-Much Other Bus mess Transacted

The city commission held d session yesterday afternoon that began at ? o'clock and continued for nearly three hours. At the conclusion the city fathers had extended finally the period for the payment of city taxes to Janu- ary 31, had approved the contract with the state for connecting the asylum sewer with the city sewer system, had adopted election ordinances, fixing March 4 as the day of the primary election and April as the day of the general election, at which a mayor and two commissioners are to be chosen. and had voted to install arc lights at every railroad crossing in the city from Twelfth street west as far as Van Buren street. Permission was granted Frank Bowman, the blind newspaper vendor, to erect a small stand at the northeast corner of Cen tral avenue and Washington street.
 The matter of the proposed installa- tion of water meters on all suburban services was brought before the com mission in the form of three well signed petitions protesting against the use of such meters and the establish ing of minimum rate of s2.0O per month. Attorney Cox addressed the commission saving that it was un- just and unfair to expect these users to install meters at their own expense when meters are required nowhere else. Mayor Young said that the wa ter department was making barrels of money" and he saw no reason for increasing the revenues at the expense of people just outside the city. Com missioner MacBean said that he was not in favor of meters at all, but that if they had to be installed it should be at the expense of the city and not of property owners. Commissioner Richey wanted the meters installed, but was agreeable to a reduction of the mini mum rate of $1 per month on a basis of 5000 gallons consumption. It was finally decided to let the matter rest until after the forthcoming city cleo tion, at which time it is likely there will be a vote on the proposition to bring the water of the Verde river here, which will insure an abundant supply for many years to come.
 Miss Grace vOn Kleinhaus addressed the commission on the needs of public playgrOunds, and said that she was de- sirOus of being named supervisor of such playGrounds. The commission deferred extended discussion until the next regular meeting.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO. Jan. 5.-The wheat mar ket today retained the greater part of a substantial advance that was due largely to buying for Europe. The close was unsettled 3-4M7-S to 1 IA @1 3-S net higher, with May at 127 1-S and July at 119 1-SG1-4. Corn gained 1-2 tc 7-Sm1, oats a shade to 1-4 and provisions F 1-2@ 15 to 35.
 Advances in the wheat market car ried prices upward to the highest record sc far made by the 1915 crop.
 Corn rose chiefly as a result of gov ernment figures that only 72 per cent of the 1915 crop matured ahead of frost. The usual average is about 95 per cent.
 Oats went upgrade with other cereals.
 Close: Corn May 76 3-4; July - Is; Oats May IS; July 46 1-2.

ON THE ROMERY

It is the Bowcry of some twenty-five years ago. that is portrayed in Jesse l.. Lasky's perturbation of F.. w ToWnsend's world famous comedy "Chimmie Fadden" which was shown at the Majestic last night NIT. Town send who is now a United States con gressman from New Jersey. was at that time a star reporter for the New York Sun. Every now and then he wrote "Chimmie Fadden" skEtch, telling incidents in the life of an Irish American Bowery Rough Diamond"
 The Bowery of those days is no more. But in the Laslly picture il is all brought back to us again. "Chim- mic Fstdden' is not only a screamingly funny film. but vertically a historical record of what once was the most famous street in America. This excel lent feature will be repeated tonight.
