C., has agreed to assume a further large share of the expense. In the meantime a campaign for further funds is in progress, and designs for the monument have been prepared with the intention of beginning work on the foundation this Spring.
 The monument will be an obelisk of limestone and concrete 3Sl feet high, the tallest with the exception of the Washington monument of any other shaft of the kind in the world. The base will be 43 feet square with a room IS feet square in the interior for the storing of relics. It is planned to have the shaft completed. some time early in the coming Autumn and to dedicate 1t October ?, 1917.
 The site of the monument IS only about 100 miles, as the crow flies, from the site of the impressive me morial hall erected near Hogdenvillc, Ky, over the cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born.

BIG CHIEF FINDS NEW
 USE FOR LIMBURGER

CORDOVA, Alaska, March %. - Chief Goodlataw of the Copper River Indians, who recently asked why the deputy United States marshal "in Eu- rope did not put stop to the war over therc," has discovered new and unique use for that cheese, famed most for its unpleasant odor. He traps lynx with it.
 Recently an cpicurc at Chitna or dcrcd some limburgcr cheese from a mail order house and shortly after its arrival the chief happened in for flour and bacon. The town wit gave the chief taste.
 Chief Goodlataw'S face was study. He munched the cheesc-smcared cracker. His nostrils quivercd as do a rabbits while eating. and when he was through he produced his poke. Abstracting a silver dollar he ten dered it 10 the wit.
 "Hiyu bait. Iou catchcm dollars worth for me soon," said the chief.
 Fortunately for Goodlataw's desire, Alaskans never order by retail and he was able 10 purchase pound from the cpicurc's supply. He departed in silence. Two weeks later hc came to a town with 70 lynx skins which he traded at local stores for phonograph records, groceries, candy and some blankets. Then he cndeavored to buy some more. "lIiyu bait You know whatcha callcn. heap smcllum. White man put 'cm on cracker Indian he put 'em on meat, bait trap catch plenty lynx"

MAYER, March 3l.-Mayer's boom was demonstrated today when new corners from all over, including a family from California, bid at pub lie auction for the lots of the town site. All but five of the lots were sold, for total net sum of S2,S00.

The prices ranged from S20 to So05 piece. J. C. Mar tin paying the top price. Appraisers fixed the value of the lots at from Sl0 to S25. Judge r. O. Smith and Clerk P. J.

ED BLOCK HOME RAN
 SACKED BY A BURGLAR
(From Saturdays Daily)

Another little burglary, mingled with a comedy of errors occurred yesterday morning, when the home of Ed Block on South Marina Street was thoroughly ransackcd. But a small amount of change was secured, and the intruder escaped without hay ing been seen.
 Carrying a fiashlight, the burglar entered the room of young Block, and, as it was o'clock in the morn- ing, and he was sleeping soundly, he didn't awake sufficiently to identify the man. He thought it was his sis ter. Oddly enough, the sister, Miss Beth Block, thought it was her broth CT, when the burglar opened her door and flashed his light within.
 On waking the family discovered unmistakablc evidences of the entire house having been gone through. Alp parently, rapid but thorough search for valuablcs had been made while all slept. But for the occurrence of the two mistaken identities, the intruder might have passed through the resi- dcnce without anyone having known of it except by the opened drawers and similar signs of search.
 The authorities were notified soon after the burglary was discovered, but having absolutely nothing to work on, produced no results up to late hour last night.

KETCHOFF FILES A THREEFOLD ANSWER
 TO MEGLEN'S SUIT
(From Saturdays DaiIy.)

A very comprehensive document was filed in behalf of Mike Ketchoff, by E. H. Ford, of Jerome, yesterday. It was labeled motion, demurrer and answer" It moved. dcmurrcd and replied to charges brought in a civil suit by John Meglcn. against one Mike Brotchoff, for the alleged scri- ous kn;fine oi the complainant.
 In moving the dismissal of the case, the defendant alleges that the complaint is tagged, "In the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Mohavc," and that because the complaint is SO tickctcd, ii is not lawful for the clerk of the court of Iavapai county to hold the thing against the defendant It also states that the true name of the pre- tended defendant is Mike kctchoff and not Mike Brotchof. The dcmur- Ter is general. The answer raises the point of self-dcfcnsc and alleges that at the time of the alleged assault, there were several witnesses, un- known to the defendant, on hand, that Meglen made an assault on ketchoff and that the wounds the latter inflicted on the complainant were donc in scif-defcnsc.

PRICES CHEAPER AT
 MUNICIPAL MARKET

LOS ANGELES, March 3l-Prices qf fruit, produce and poultry sold at municipal markets in Los Angeles are about 25 to 30 per cent lower than those asked by retail dealers, accord ing to James F. Britt, superintendent of the markets. Fish sold through an arrangement with the municipal fish
 market company whereby the city controls the prices to a marked dc gree, cost the consumer about 90 per cent less than the price charged by
 regularly established retail dealers, Britt said. The city also has placed fish on sale at nine other places in the city, in some instances through retail dealers who sell them at the same prices charged by the city.
 Municipal markets have been estab- lished in Los Angeles about three years, but the safe of fish controlled by the city was not inauguratcd until March 9th. In this the method is different, because the city purchases the fish from the fisherman and acts as distributor direct to the consumer, while in the handling of produce the city merely erected large frame sheds with stalls which rented to the pro ducers for 25 cents a day. The city's only interest in this was to open the way for the producer to deal direct with the consumer, thus eliminating the middlcman.
 These markets have been open here tofore only three days week, but arrangements have been made to have them open daily except Sunday be- ginning March 20
 In the handling of fish the city makes the purchases direct from the fishermen, who deliver their catch to the municipal dock at Los Angeles harbor. There they arc cleaned and iced at the expense of the city and placed on sale at its regularly cstab- hshcd markets. The retail cost is computed by adding to the price paid the fishermen the expense in handling and icing. A small profit is added to these figures.
 Numerous inquiries concerning the methods of distributing fish have been received by the market bureau since the system was inauguratcd. These have come from many sections of Southern California and one was March l4th from Salt Lake City. The city already has arranged with the municipal authorities oi Pasadena, to supply fish for municipal sale in that city on the same basis as they arc handled here, and similar ar probably will be made with other Southern California cities, | to Britt.

CORDES SAFE IS 0PENED; $500
 EXTRACTED
BIG HAUL IS MADE AT LONELY STATION STORE WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY VIOLENCE; NO CLUE IS LEFT BY ROBBERS.
(From Sundays DailY.l

Some time between 9 o'clock Friday night and 6 o'clock Saturday morn ing, the safe in the store of Charles Cordes at Cordes station, 5 miles southeast of here, was opened, and $500 odd extracted. No clue was left by the robbcr or robbers.
 The third safe cracking job in this county within the month, nettcd enough to pay for both the others. which were failures. And this time. no soup" or other form of violence was used. Either Cordcs had left the safe unlocked Friday evening. or else the operator turned a fastening" trick, opening the safe by listening to the drop of the tumblcrs until he had solved the combination.
 Feeling in the Mayer and Cordes country is high over the robbery. No one will leave any cash in safes for fear of repetition of the robbery.
 Notified of the Cordcs job, the shcriff's office made an investigation, but was unable to locate single clue on which to work. The job was done so quietly that not sign was left. Ii is considered not unlikely that it was done by the same man or men who have been working in this district for some weeks past.

WEAKNESSOF THE CURB COPPERS
 EXPLAINED
UNPOPULARITY DUE TO FACT THAT PRODUCERS WILL SUPPLY METAL TO GOVERNMENT AT HALF ITS PRESENT PRICE.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Curb copperS have been just the least bit unpopular since the report that certain producers would supply copper metal to the government al less than half the present price of the metal There is no reason, however why the Curb coppers should suffer on that account, since none of the companies whose stocks arc listed on the Curb arc among the ones that will supply the copper. On the other hand it would logically seem a bull argu- mcnt for the Curb coppcrs, since the taking by the government of such a large amount will mean still smaller supply of the metal and, other things being equal, still higher prices for copper than those now being obtained.
 The copper market IS stronger now than it has been, domestic consumers showing more anxiety about placing future business. It is reported that 100000 pounds of copper have been taken by users in this country for de- livery over the last five months of 1917 at 3l cents a pound. The an- nouncement that the government is 10 be a consumer of copper has stim- ulated other consumers to hurry up with their orders.
 The list of copper producers that will supply the government with 45.- 5l0,000 pounds of April-Deccmber copper at the tcn-ycar average price of l6673o cents pound f. o. b. sea- board, was completed yesterday. There arc IS names on tho list, though it will be supplied through smaller number of agencies, kennecott and Braden, for example, appearing on the list as two companies though Bradcn IS but a subsidiary of the Kennecott, and the Kennecott copper is sold through the same agency as Utah copper, Chile and several others on the list The list is made up of Anaconds, Utah Copper, Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, Inc, Inspiration, Ken nccott, Chino, Miami. Chile, Greene Cananca, Cerro de Pasco, Braden, Ray Consolidated. North Butte, Vol vcrinc, Quincy, Mohawk. Utah Com solidated and Hancock Consolidated. If pro-ratcd equally this would mean about 2,500,000 pounds from each company extending over a period oi nine months.
 Silver metal has been attracting much attention recently because of its steady slump from its high price of % cents. Cable dispatches from Shanghai, however, have accounted in large measure for the steady de- cline. It is said that when diplomatic relations were broken of between China and Germany, Chinese spccu- lators began immediately to sell silver and purchase sterling exchange, thus depressing silver prices by throwing a large volume of the metal on the market.
 Aside from the weakness in Chinese exchange, the fall of quotations in New York has been caused by the growing cost of transporting the met al to London on account of the rise in war risk insurance rates and the scarcity of available vessels.
