ANOTHER JOB

Billy" Spear, editor of the Phoenix Republican, Is a glutton for punishment. Compelled like all other newspapermen, on account of proverbial poverty, to stay away from the coast on account of an in- crease rather than summer decrease in railroad fares, the Phoenix editor sits in his Phoenix furnace and writes kindly of Me Adoo, the cause of all his misery, as fol- lows:
 Phoenix owes a debt of gratitude to Mir. McAdoo, or, perhaps, rather to the rail road men under him who tell him how to direct railroads and get him to do things which they were afraid to do themselves when they were running the roads. They were afraid of the people and of each other. They were afraid to fix higher rates for the people were already greatly 'het up against the roads. Anyway, the railroad administration should be the recipient of the gratitude of Phoenix for the delightful climate we are now enjoying; or else for our self-adjustment to the climate. Many of us who in years past felt we could not stand the Salt River valley climate, or, at least, part of 1t, say two weeks or month of 1t some time between June l and August l, find this year that 1t Is quite bearable, thanks again to the railroad administration.
 It doesn't make us half as hot to stay here and see the summer through as it does to think of paying full legal mileage, with the s per cent tax added, to which Is to be added the Pullman fare with still 10 per cent more computed on the whole thing. In comparison with that, we find the mid summer climate of the Salt River valley equable and almost frigid.
 Then, again, we miss the railroad sum- mer posters, pictures of the seashore with its human mermaids basking on the beach, Illustrating what can be accomplished in conservation of clothing We do not see the cooling mountain tops and placid lakes and inviting trout streams. There are none of these things to lure us away from our own old reliable climate. Psychology does not lend its aid to dissatisfy us with tenn Perature of anywhere from 100 to | 0 in the shade. Blessed be MT. McAdoo for the removal of all these temptations which in the past have assailed our morals and our purses We shall have more money at the end of the season and we shall not return then worn out with strenuous vaca- tions.
 The Salt River valley, too, will gain a better reputation abroad. Throngs of Phoenicians at coast points will not be there to advertise degree of heat at home which exists only in their imagination or which they offer as pretext for anything.

It seems Arizona has suffered less from drouth during the last two years than most parts of the Southwest. While 1t has been very dry in mast parts and grass has been very short, the percentage of cattle that have died has been light. One reason for this is that Arizona has principally browse ranges and when plenty of water and salt is provided for the cattle there are very small losses. Many of the cattlemen realize this and wells are being put down on most of the ranges.

On account of the shortage of wheat the government is now taking steps to get a check on every bushel of wheat threshed. L. L.

Louis Hohstadt and his eight-year- old son, Robert, returned last night to Douglas from trip to the grand can yon and Williams, AriZ. At the canyon, mornings and evenings, it was so cold that oyercoats were comfortable. There were a large number of people at the resort including perhaps fifty automobile parties who were camping. Robert shocked anG surprised his father one morning by wandering down Bright Angel trail with a photo grapher and staying all day while Mg. HOhstadt anxiously searched the traIl with the big telescope at the rim and looked elsewhere for his adventurous son The latter returned at o'clock in the evening after having had a swim in pool supplied by water from the Colorado river That the boy did some stunt is evident from the fact that it is a seven-mile trip each way down Bright Angel trail and the des- cent is 5000 feet Most people pre- fer tc make the trip on mules and many who attempt to walk it have tO be helped back on burrors. A fourteen mile hike with a 5000-foot drop in one day is certainly quite an achievement for an eight-year-old boy. Maybe he belongs to the Boy Scouts.

The highway commission engineers now working in the St. David section are running the road in a new location down by J. N. Christianson's house which will take the road in that local ity completely out of that long stretch of sand wash and relocate it in the foothills. This will be a change worth while To keep the road where it is now would always leave it exposed to the heavy waters and besides that in order to get any road at all in there the material to build it, the surfacing at least, would have to be hauled i1 and it is cheaper and more satisfac- tory to relocate the road all together in that locality.

There is considerable speculation in Cochise county as to the reason of the government for sending back Capt Harry Wheeler, former sher- if of Cochise county who left for overseas some time ago. The order for his return came shortly after the receipt of a telegram from him ac- cepting full responsibility for the I. w. w. drive at Bisbee and some think this is the reason for his re- call. Others think that he is being brought back to stand trial and some believe that he is being brought back at the request of the defend ants in the deportation cases as q witness. He would be indispensable and valuable evidence would be lost were he to lose his life. There is en- other report that he is being brought back to organize defense units for the border because of his familiarity with conditions.

FIsTIC HISTORY

On a fine morning 16S years ago
today, April 10, 1850, a big crowd of
men and boys gathered in Oxford
Road, Don1on, and swarmed around
a rude but roomy edifice just behind
that thoroughfare. Some of them had
stationed themselves at the entrance
of the building before sunrise, and
others kept coming until nine o'clock
a wild rush indicated that the doors
had been swung open. About $500
of the men paid in their money and
were admitted. The remainder were
turned away for lack of room, and
the police had to beat back the dis
appointed thousands to make a path
for the mobiles and rich men and army
officers who came in shortly before
noon. The building was Jack Brough-
tons amphi-theatre, and the owner,
who held the pugilistic championship
of England for several years, was
about to risk his title in a battle with
a former Norwich butcher named
y Jack Slack.
For several years ,Broughton had
been out of the ring, and had devoted
his talents to teaching boxing to 9TH
ers and to promoting matches between
fighters of lesser fame. Now he was
to risk his pre-eminence in the pugi-
Este world by fighting one of his
own pupils. The amrhitheatre had q
ring in the center, and around this
was a pit, where the rabble was ac-
commodated Elevated above the pit
were the boxes, the only part of the
building rooted in, and there assem-
bled many of the greatest lords OF
England. In the royal box sat the
Duke of Cumberland, a member o.
the royal family, and the patron o.
Jack Broughton. The Duke was there
with wad that would choke an ele
plant, to resort to modern phraseol
ogX, and he accepted every offer o
wager.
