LONG BUSINESS CAREER COMES
 ID AN END
TIME BALL DROPS ON A PIONEER HOUSE OF PRESCOTT, AFTER AN EXISTENCE OF OVER A THIRD OF A CENTURY.
(From Sundays Daily)

The I. !. Gardner Mercantile estab- lishment in Prescott will close its doors on March l, next, and go out of business.
 It is not a failure which actuatcs this pioneer to suspend, but is due to q desire to retire from an energetic business career of over third of a century to seek recreation behind a rast life of success as the years go rolling by at a rapid pace. Mir. Gard, ncr leaves the commercial sphere of this sec'icn with the regret of scores of friends and many hundreds of patrons. lie first established his busi, ness at the old corner on October l, 1883, and through courteous atten- tion and liberal treatment, has pros- pered During his 5 years at ''thc old stand" his assistance to the miner, farmer and rangeman is admitted to have been an essential factor in up building those industries, and by way of a coincidence, in the long run he also has tcen rewarded.
 Mir. ,ia-dncr yesterday in stating bis intent;on to retire, mentioned one incident in connection with his entry into business in Prescott, by saying:
 When | opened the door of my little store on October l, 1883. tn: first paticn to enter was C. A. Peter, then with the Bank of Arizona, but now its cashier From that dim day up to the present, Mir. Peter has never ief. me. He is still buying Our relations have been pleasant from first to last, and at the end of the commercial trail I am now figur- ing out a plan whereby Mir. Peter will have the opportunity for the last time to he my last patron, when the key will hc turned in the lock. He was the first and why should he not be the last to buy:
 Mir. Garuncr is not to leave PreS- colt, but proposes to go inside the pioneer term used in early days when .Arizonans sauntcrcd into California. for either business or pleasure. "ln always come back on the old trail, as Prescott has and will be my home until the Creator calls me over the range" he informed many friends in announcing his purpose to retire from business.

.LAUDAB[E MOVE HAS B|G MAN
 AT ITS HEAD
HON. ]. w. SULLIVAN OF PRESCOTT, A P P OINTED PRESIDENT OF ARIZONA LIMIT SOCIETY BY SEC RETARY McADOO.
CFrom Sundays Dailyt

An Arizona Limit Society, branch of the National Limit Society is now iii existence, and it is of very much local interest to know that Hon. ]. w. Sullivan, of Prescott, heads this worthy organization, having been recently appointed the president by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, on the recommendation of many Of the leading residents of this State.
 The object of this organization is for the promotion of thrift cam paign throughout the State and has for its purposes the supervision of individual efforts in all counties, one of the objects being to secure pledges from as many persons as possible to subscribe their limit to the thrift movement during the present year.
 To become members of this organi- zation persons must pledge them selves to purchase the prescribed limited number of stamps. The treasr ury department at Washington has ruled that no individual shall be per mittcd to purchase more than Sl,OOO worth oi thrift stamps, or baby bonds, during the year. This limit has been fixed because of the desire to make the thrift movement general through out the United States. rather than have few of the wealthy men in each community purchase thousands of dol lars worth and thus secure all the benefits.
 Mir. Sullivan has returned to Pres colt to begin the thrift campaign and is fully organizing the State. He IS one of the most widely known cattle men in Arizona, and is recognized as an authority in any line of business. Personally he also is popular, and has been a resident of Arizona since 1908 first arriving in Prescott and IS real pioneer Mir. Sullivan also has q large acquaintance in every county in the State, in his line of business as wei as with other pursuits, and is fully in harmony with the large work facing him.
 With him is James A. Cashion, of Phoenix, who also has land and live stock interests in Yavapai and Mari copa counties. He, also, Is ono oi the big constructive men of the State and is heavily interested in the up- building of the country.
 MT. Sullivan stated yesterday that he is arranging to begin an energetic thrift campaign in Arizona, and will soon appoint vicc-prcsidcntS in every county who will supervise the work in their respective districts
 Hon. Elihu Root IS president of the New York Limit Society, while ex- President Taft holds a similar posi- ton in the Connecticut State organi- zation.

he lives. Eggs are 75 cents a dozen there, $ cents here, and the quality of those sold locally is far better. Standard rackage cereals are about ten cents pound lower here than in Fort Worth. In practically every case where there is a difference in the price of groceries, the difference is in favor of Jerome. Meat is an eX- ccption, but this is to be expected, as there arc several big packeries at Fort Worth.
 ''I think that the union representa- tives are pretty well convinced that they have TO just cause for complaint in regard 10 the cost of the necessities of life" added Mir. Myers.
 The mediator mentioned four things which he will endeavor to bring about in the Verde district. These arc:
 Relief of housing conditions.
 A hospital at Clarkdale
 Ambularces for Jerome and Clark Gale. s
 Reading rooms for Jerome and Clarkdale
 The two big companies must be depended Upon to provide tine houses that are so badly needed" he remark cd. "W;lhin ten days expect to have from bot.r companies definite state mcnt regarding when the relief they have been promising will be an ac- compli5 ed fact The men claim that for the last two years they have beer promised relief The time has come when -hcy will no longer accept SDromises, but want results"

 His bride has made Prescott her home for sometime, and had followed her profession as stenographcr capably and with such satisfaction as tc win coihmcndation for her ac. complishment. She is gifted with a fascinating and vivaciouS personality. and has been a social favoritc in this communi:~
 The ceremony was prettily obscrv- ed, Re-. Baton, of the Congreea- tional church officiating. Attending the bride was Miss Garnet Simms. while Billy" Simon was best man tor his former employer.

in commercial way. 1t would mean
the supplying of at least 10000 tons
of coal annually to our own people,
with the consequent holding in the
state of the purchase price of the
fuel, the saving to already congested
railroad lines of equipment and haul
age and the giving employment in a
well paid industry to several hundred
skilled men.
Gall this depends upon the construc-
ton Of about 10 miles of railroad
track I believe the Oregon Short
Line and Union Pacific officials will
see their way to the making of this
Improvement during the coming
spring and summer months and that
next year will see most Of us burning
coal from a state mine.
"I feel it is very fortunate thing
that Mr.. Talbot of Spokane, the own
er of the property, is man of suffic-
lent means to handle the proposition
unaided. He is not offering and will
not offer any stock for sale. and
feel that | can get behind his PROPOSE
ton unreservedly. I have already ar
ranged to hold meetings at different
points in the state to present the
matter to the people generally, and
in this way to secure public senti-
ment to strengthen the request for the
construction of spur track to the
