DAYS BEST POEM

In spite of the short notice on which we had to prepare for this journey of the Camel, it fills us with great grati- fication to announce that we are able to publish this week our S10,000 prize poem. Now, c. G. H., call on the muse of Yuma to excel it, if you dare! Need we say YOU WILL CALL IN VAINi
 Death Dreams Far to the shoreless sea of fadeless light, Thru the velvet curtained gloominess of Night Out of the Morning of Life's Day Across the Noontides white archway Out of the agony of Life's Gethsemane Over the quaking summit of Eternity Into the dreaming silence of sweet rest Down to the Sunset, and into the West. Pregnant with Life still, uncertain and timid, The Spirit throbs on translucent and limpid, To where the purple pillows mourn forlorn, Iris there, Sweetheart, DEATH DREAMS are born.

SOME OPEN LETTERS
To C c H.


 Honored and Esteemed Sir:-We deeply sympathize with your ambition to be the B. L. T. of Arizona, but we fear your energies are sadly misdi- rected- In the first place your stuff is too local, 1t fairly reeks with the at mosphere of your five acre ranch" with all the petty details of irrigating holding the shack up while the wind is blowing, the various kinds of ticks that get on your three sheep, and the feeble pulsations of your stunted brain while the old nag is dragging you homeward from town of an evening.
 You may be following the rule for all beginners, in writing about those things with which you are best ac- quainted. In that case, now that you at last have a phone in, may we not hope that your horizon will be some what enlarged? Just think, instead of dishing up to us once a week the tri- vialities of your bucolic existence, you can serve a literary melange, com prised of incidents of life on the twelve or twenty other ranches on your tele- phone line. By listening in you can become enthralled hearing whose baby has the collie, when your neighbours mother-in-law is going to leave, and possibly how soon the cotton market is going up or down. If, however, you acquire any information from this source on the League of Nations, the peace treaty, the steel strike, or any other matter of no interest to anybody, better keep it to yourself.
 Yours, pro tenn,
 THE BUCKEYES.

 Dear MT. Mitchell:-We were sorry recently, to learn that you had re- signed and were going to leave Phoe- nix. We want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation of the un- failing kindness and courtesy practiced by most of your employees, the street car men. There isn't another city in the country where motormen and con- ductors are more obliging, nor where they get less credit for it. Saw a con- ductor hop gaily off 8 car the other day and hand down two baby car riages, two portly danes, five children and 'steen bundles, and they never even said thanks" We've watched 'em on every line, seen 'em keep their | tempers and go to any amount of trou- ble for helpless folks, many of whom shouldn't have been permitted to roam at large, and they are, with a few ex- | captions, the best little bunch of pub l lie servers that we've ever seen in ac- l tion. Don't know whether you're re- | sponsible for it, but if you are, hope you'll impart your system to your suc- cessor. If the Chamber of Commerce was hep to itselft it would advertise Phoenix as having, probably the most courteous, obliging street car men in l the country.
 1 May we not hope the Rotary or ! Kiwanis clubs. as a parting gift, will present you with dry battery to hook on the Indian school line to help out the voltage these mornings.
 Your successor then will have noth- ing to do, except to equip your lines with cars, improve service on the Washington street and Wentworth lines arrange a less confusing and more frequent schedule on the Brill ! line, get the Indian School line in shape to handle the traffic, and scheme out some way to give service on the Glendale, Orange and Hollywood lines
 Anyway, we understand you are go- ing to stay on until the Grand avenue line is in operation. That's fine. Our grandchildren will be

Bishop Rowe will remain in Cor dova over Easter Sunday at which time the new St. Georges Episcopal church will be consecrated. The serv-. ice of consecration will take place at eleven o'clock followed by the Con- muniOn service.
 The Confirmation service will be held in the evening at 7:30 o'clock.
 This church is built as memorial to Erastus Corning Hawkins chief engineer of the Copper River & Northwestern railway during con- struction days. MT. Hawkins who was a communicant of the church was beloved by all who came in contact with him, and many of his friends are still here to rejoice in this tribute to his memory.
 The altar and altar-piece is a memorial to Harriet Sherman Haze let; wife of Mr. George 0. Hazelet of this city. The painting forming the altar piece is a thank offering of the present priest in charge for her tireless support and patronage to this mission from it's founding to the time of the death of this strong, loving Christian character.
 A suitable bronze tablet, mounted on oak is now being prepared in New York, to Mir. Hawkins. This will be installed on its arrival. One other tahlet and bronze bell will be put in place as soon as they arrive from the. states.
 The church will be known as the St. Georges Memorial church.

EXCESSIVE
 TAXATION IS SCORED

At special meeting of the Cordova Chamber of Commerce held last night, protest was entered against the proposed tax of four cents a case on clans by the legislature, as this is new industry and needs fostering. A committee consisting of Messrs Caleb Corser, Malcolm Brock and F. H. Eos ter was appointed to draft telegrams to Senator Price and Representatives Slater and Ray insisting that the clam industry should be. encouraged and not hampered; that in the state of Washington the tax was only one cent a case on clans and that it would be unfair and unjust to tax the Alaskan industry four times as much as they do elsewhere.
 There was considerable discussion as to the general excessive taxation proposd by the legislators and the concensus of opinion that curtail- ment of appropriations and unneces- sary expenditures would materially assist the territory in meeting it's obligations. With this idea in view the following telegram was today sent to the president of the senate and the speaker of the house:
 Resolved, That the Cordova Cham Der of Commerce does earnestly pro- test against any new laws which will result in a program of increased expenditure. That the condition of business in the territory is such that increased taxation will be extremely harmful and that retrenchment Is in our opinion much more important to the welfare of the people"
 The advisability of issuing book. let, containing information as to the resources of Cordova and the Copper river valley was admitted and the fol. lowing committee was authorized to decide upon the form and subject mat. ter of such publication: Messrs Adams, Hillery, Medley. Corser and Foster.

British Aviator Tells of
His Country's Air Pro-
gram and Hopes.

BY CECIL L'ESTRANGE MALONE.
Lieutenant Colonel, British Royal Az.
iation Force and Member Of ParIia-
mont.
The future OF the r. lies in its
power as q means OF transport, as an
oblterat0r of international barriers
and means for improving civilian
tiOn.
1t is probable that we have here
one Of tle best links yet forged Tor
binding tOget her the League OF Ma
tons.
Let us first consider ne transport
or commercial side. The air will be
to transportation what the electric
telegraph was to communication.
The war is now over and the fact
that we have a specialized air minis
try gives to Great Britain a position
OF great advantages, if we take action
soon we have a moderately goOd OPP
portunity of ranking N the FREEDOM
inant air transport power. -. ,..r
The empire Possesses many COM
petent pilots, many firms and organ
iZations DESTROYS of commencing air
routes, but there is little experience
in actual aerial navigation under com
mercial conditions.
During the war risks in money and
life were taken; in civil flying this
will not be permissible, commercial
potentates do not realize personally
what it feels like to be lost in tle
air, or the exact degree Of faith in
himslf and the weather that a sue,
cpssful croSS.cO,lntry DilOt has TO
have. .,-..
If commercial development in avia
ton is left entirely to private firms
their experience will be bitter; they
will lose lives, shake public conf
dence and retard progress.
They do not know exactly what
sort Of meteorological information it
is necessary to obtain. nor how to OBJ
tain and distribute it.
How much commercial sea-traffic
for example, would there be in the
English channel in winter if there
were no buoys, no lightslips, no har-
bors. no soundings and no knowledge
of the tides? In that small section

GREAT FUTURE
FOR LIVESTOCK
Sentinel Butte Rancn Man Be-
lieves North Dakota Will
Rapidly Forge to Front .,

Fargo. y. D.. March 13.-There is no
question in my mind but that there
is a wonderful future ahead Of the
live stock industry in North Dakota.
We are breeding some stock up here
that is attracting attention and there
is no reason why we should not breed
a lot more Of it," said Lewis F. Craw-
ford Of Sentinel Butte here attending
a meeting of the state board Of regents.
Il think that the government re-
ports on the amount Of livestock In
the country are erroneous. In my
opinion there is not as much stock in
the country as these reports would in
dicate. am baSing this opinion on
CAREFUL study of livestock market con
ditionS One Indication Of the ShOr-
tage of livestock may be seen in the
number of light weight cattle being
marketed. Stockmen do not sell light
weight cattle if they have heavier
weight cattle to sell and the fact that
they are selling light weight stock is
proof Of the fact that they have no
heavy weight stock.
'This means that we are continually
cutting down our livestock supply and
this, at time when there is Il world
shortage of livestock.
livestock raising has an assured flu
ture for some time to come at least.
1.-THE stock sales are becoming more
both to the breeders and to the men
who are just getting started in the in
dustry There were fully 700 in at
tendance at the livestock sale which
was held i'm connection with the an
nual meeting Of the North Dakota

Mr.. Crawford stated that he liked
Fargo as a livestock sales point, be-
cause of its railroad advantages and
he emphasized the fact that this city
would be the gamer if it took very
keen interest in developing the good
will Of the stOckmen.
Asked regarding the long winter
season in this part Of the world. and
its effect on the livestock season in
this part of the world. and its effect
on the livestock industry MS compared
to states farther south where the
winter is not so long nor so severe, Mr.
Crawford said:
"StOck can Withstand the cold much
better than they can withstand wet
