DR.. DUFF|ELD FINDS
DREAMS Of YESTER
YEAR ARE REALIZED

Or. William DuffieId of Los An
geles, whose visit to Phoenix after
an absence of ten years was men,
ed by The Arizona Republican on
Monday, left for his home last night
after three most trenuous days Of
sightseeing and visiting with old
friends. DR.. DuffieId came here with
the intention of taking little "look
in" but the proportions were greater
than he anticipated and he was un-
able to get even a glimpse of many of
his old friends or many of the at
fractions of the city and valley, so
he gave it up in despair and returned
to his home, promising himself and
Mrs. Duffeid and daughter, Sara, a
visit to Phoenix in the not distant
future.
DR.. Daffield would have seen more
but for the slowness of his progress
whenever he left the hotel. Notwith
standing ten years have passed. there
were so many of his old friends still
remaining that he was continuously
met and stopped. Scores of others
ENGAGED his attention by telephone.
Concerning Phoenix and the Salt
river valley, Or. Duffield said he was
astonished at the growth and develop
'feHty MISUNDERSTANDING rainier ClOSe
knowledge from reading and CONVEX
sailors with friends. "a thought i
had pretty good idea of the situa
ton, but one has 20 come mere and
see it to fully appreciate what has
been done. And the future is as
sured. With your diversity of crops,
rich soil, abundance of water and
rich Grazing and mining district all
about you, nothing can stop Phoenix
and the valley now.
The dreams of the pioneers have
come true. Do You remember. the
men and mules and machinery when
the Rio Verde outfit started out
twenty years ago? And then the dust
ard smoke and silence? Do you re
member the promising farms and
orchards out under the old Arizona
canal and then, the desolation? As
we drove around there today | was
mighty clad to know that w. J. Muir
ply, that man Of iron. has lived to
see his dream come true. He has
kept the faith. Some day the ooIe
of this valley will call him blessed.
Anyone who will consider the re-

leys, the ranges with their improved
stock, water systems and the 'un-
scratched mineral wealth OF this
state of Arizona and cannot see en-
pire right now hasn't any Jim Hill
stuff in his makeup. 1t isn't COM
inc; it is here"
During his residence of thirteen
years in Phoenix, Dr.. Duffield took
a keen interest in it's growth and con-
triouted much to it, taking an active
part in civic affairs. He found that
interest renewed on his return No
other man not resident of the city
could be more gratified tran Or. Duff

PART|A[|TY IS
CHARGED ROADS
On COAL RATES
Corporation Commission Is
After Railways for an
Alleged Discrimination to
Sections Other Than This

Claiming discrimina ton in rates. and
rates on coal from Gallup, N. NJ. to
points in Arizona, an increase amount
ing to II per cent, the railroads pre-
scented their case yesterday before the
Interstate Commerce commission, here.
The State Corporation commission pre-
scented arguments with q view to show
ing that the rate Wah high enough at
present.
The railroads alleged that the rate
was more from Waldo near Albu-
querque, and from other points, from
which coal is shipped to Arizona. The
railroads figured that to make up the
difference II per cent increase in the
rate on coal from Gallup would be
about right.
The case, presented by the Santa Fe.
the Southern Pacific and the Ell Paso
Southwestern, was finished at o'clock,
and the State Corporation commission
began its argument. 1t claimed that the
rate from Gallup was just, basing its
contention upon records of rates from
coal districts in Utah, Wyoming and
Colorado. The commission set forth
to show that according to mileage and
transportation conditions from these
districts the II per cent increase asked
for by the railroads from Gallup into
Arizona would not be equable The
state viii complete its case today.
Representing the Santa Fe were G.. P.
Hastings of San Francisco, T. H. Bak-
er, e. W. Cummick of Los Angeles and
w. A. Drake of Prescott. The Southern
Pacific was represented by George D.
Squires, attorney, and H C. Hallmark,
of Tucson. E. c. Hilsavack, general
freight agent, appeared for the FL Paso
Southwestern.
For the commission were Chairman
Jones, Arthur Belts, T. B. Cashel and
Auditor w. NJ. Sangster, the two last
appearing as witnesses.
The rate on coal from Gallup to
Phoenix at present is $3.50 a ton. The
rate would be, with an IL per cent in
crease, S4.15 a ton.

In view of the fact that some Rep

to secure recruits when it could get
them through the draft without ex-
