 For months it has been commonly known that the city was overcrowded with winter tourists and that accom- modations have been at a premium It has only been lately. however, that the real seriousness or the situation has been revealed in the turning away of hundreds of would-be winter resi- dents who have had to go on to the coast or to other Arizona cities.
 new condition has arisen, that makes 1t imperative that something be done Several score of legislators, to- gether with their families, a large corps of attaches and q large quantity of visitors will be in the city shortly to attend the session of the new law making body. These people have in some cases. written the chamber of commerce regarding rooms. Most of the inquiries are not for rooms or ho- tel accommodations. but for furnished houses, half houses and apartments. The chamber of commerce has con- ceived the idea of getiin~ owners of
 vacant houses and owners of furniture together, to see if they cannot combine and supply the demand The meeting i is at clock tomorrow

 There is another point in connection with this mat ter that cannot be ignored In the fears of Secre tary Lansing realized, and it became necessary to raise army of million men, where would
 lind officers for such army? Englands experiences in the present war suggest that here would be our most serious problem. England had a small, highly trained army at the beginning of the conflict. That army. however, practically wiped out in trying the onrush of the German forces into Belgium and France. Lord Kitchener was confronted with the necessity of creating army almost from the top down. The time required two years more instead of six months

A Kentucky Sacrifice

 Not to proong the agony unduy, it may be said that nine barrels of perfectly good wine poured into the sewer. And this happened in Kentucky. The reason for the outpouring to lie in the fact that certain person had the wine in his pos- session illegally. probably intending to sell it with profit to himself The court took cognzance of the matter, the fined s2OO given forty days jail and the stuff was confiscated and destroyed.
 But feeling of doubt begins tc insinuate itself as to the validity of sympathy in this The wine not the real stuff for which Kentucky famous Perhaps. after all the coonels particularly downcast.

SHERIFF MILKY AND COURT
 DISAGREE OVER BA|UFFS

That the new and old political fam flies at the court house are not entirely congenial was apparent yesterday. The happy and harmonious New Years day having passed, the real business of life was begun and it was evident to all who were within the confines of the building that something was do ing" between the sheriff's office and the courts.
 There were special envoys from be- low stairs to the judges chambers; there were notes from Sheriff Wilky, not quite as diplomatic as President Wilson's and there were other evil dences that the sheriff's office and the courts were not meeting on common ground.
 The war was declared it is said, over the desire of the sheriff to dictate to the superior court in the matter of the appointment of bailiffs. Wilky, it was said, had no intention of permit ting Judge Stanford to retain Jim Graham as jury bailiff and Charlie Cox as court bailiff, although it was gen orally understood that they were to remain. Hon Stewart, the jury bailiff of Judge Lyman's court, was not to get lookin when it came to appoint ments, and John Osborn, the court bailiff of division two. was to be in- cluded in the cleanup of the court l house gang" Joe Bush, the interpreter was also to get his walking papers It is said that a deputy sheriff called 1 on Judge Stanford and offered his l services as bailiff but was excused

Arizona Fires

According to fures collected by the National Board of Underwriters of York Arizona in 1915 did not make such bad showing in fire prevention, as com pared with it's neghebors, New Mexico and Califor- nia still it might have been much better one and doubtless will be when there is general recognition of the fact that individual caresness is the greatest fire hazard
 The Actuarial Bureau of the board has made
 study the fires this State in 1915 and finds that losses aggregatng 63O9l IFS per cent from strictly preventable The greatest item of loss was from defective chmneys and flues, s2O,272; the next greatest from stoves, furnaces and boilers. $l273l. A loss of $lOS32 caused by pipes, cigar cites and cigars The percentages of fires from strictly preventable in the three states were Arizona IFS; New Mexico 341; California, 1S7.
 Under the head of partly preventabe the losses in this State were 761 623 per cent Here did not make a good showing, for the loss in New Mexico only 3O1 per cent, and in Cali fornia, 51.4. Nearly half the Arizona losses under this head BOA per cent caused by electricity due to faulty wiring The greater of electricity in Arizona, probably, accounts for our greater losses from this In of the smaller towns there regulations regarding wiring and even in Phoe- nix much of the wiring installed as long as three or four years ago is defective.
 The strictly preventable causes are: Defective chinneys and fues; fireworks, firecrackers, etc. natural and artificial; hot ashes and coals ign ton of hot grease. oil. tar wax asphalt etc; hot molten metal; matches open fires, open lights; petro leum and it's products; rubbish and litter; smoking (cgars, cigarettes pipes, etc; steam and hot pipes; stoves, furnaces, boilers and their pipes The partly preventable Electricity. explosions exposure, incendiarism lightning misce laneous, known but classifed sparks, from fires; sparks from machinery; spontaneous combus- tion.
 Fire losses in this State from unknown causes were s13224 204 per It is very probable that if the origin of such fires known the causes would be listed under strictly preventable or partly preventable

 The high price of potatoes he said, due crop shortage The price of grain was affected by the scarcity of the yield in the northwest and the demand for export. The subjects of butter, milk and cheese handled in the way

Joe Balsz whom you will find most competent" Judge Lyman, it is alleged. thanked the messenger but stated that he had little use for an interpreter and should one be required he would borrow Judge Stanford's.
 Neither judge would discuss the sit nation although it is believed that they will not brook interference on the part of the sheriff.

MADE S231 BY ACCIDENT

Claude Mclaughlin, of Montrose county. Colorado. made s231 from all falfa seed from exactly two acres last year, entirely by accident. This two acres of alfalfa was in it's second years growth, but was on new and unfertiIe land and had been so starved for water that he thought il not worth cutting for hay. He therefore let 1t stand and continued without water preferring to use his irrigation water on what he thought were more valu- able crops. Tn the early fall he mo- ticed the alfalfa had gone to seed, and there was d surprisingly large amount of seed So it was cut and stacked and in March, 1916 threshed. He sold the seed and got $231 from the two acres. His culture was the proper thing to grow alfalfa seed. Have a thin stand and irrigate just enough to keep if fresh, but not to force the growth of rank stalks. Then it will make good bloom and much seed.-Farm and Preside.
