RUN IN 18TH
 DEFEATS WHIPPLE

Especial to the Journal-M Miner)
 Flagstaff, May 3O.-Sudden ac- cess to the home run habit on the part of the local talent de- feated the strong Whipple Ball club here this afternoon, when a four sack smash in the 18th in- ming terminated the contest with the score II to 10.
 Whipple led the way until the ninth, when a home run with the bases loaded put Flagstaff on a par with the visitors and forced the contest into extra frames. From the time when the hearty swat scored four runs and changed the count from 10 to 6 to 1O-all, it was 2 neck and neck struggle. Each inning saw the pitching even, and with splendid support, neither twirler allowed a run until Riordan came up in the last of the 18th and put the ball out of the lot for the second home run of the game and left the soldiers with the small end of a mighty close score
 To Visit Canyon
 The soldiers, accompanied by Captain J. B.. Van Horn, the manager, leave tomorrow for the Grand Canyon, returning here Sunday for a final game with the Flagstaff team before their de parture for Prescott.

SIGNIFICANT IS
 THIS MINING SURVEY (From Saturdays Daily)

What is said to be a significant movement looking toward the future of the Copper Basin section, in which t is believed large operations are under consideration, was the general investigation conducted some days ago by attaches of the United Verde Extension' Co. of Jerome. The flow of Mountain springs of the summit of the Sierra Prietas, owned by the Phclps-Dodge Corporation and lo- cated about one and ouc-half miles from the Commercial camp, was esti- mated. The mineral holdings also were hurriedly passed over, after which the party proceeded toward Skull Valley. six miles distant
 En route it is stated instruments were used to take elevations at diff ferent points, and the contour of the country was delineated.
 This action has drawn forth inti- nations that railroad may be pro iectcd out of Skull Valley, and com bined with this investigation the con clusion to be drawn is that this cop per may be shaping up to resume, but under a change in operators. Runors are in circulation covering a wide range of speculation as to what is contemplated, but nothing definite is known.

 The Japanese cook of the Depot house, slashed in the neck by the Mexican dishwasner last Saturday af- ternoon and supposed to be mortally wounded, was reported yesterday, to be improving, and hope is held ou; for his recovery. The wounds are not serious, but the great loss O blood at the time of the trouble seemed to indicate the man could not survive. As yet there is no reason given for the cause of the trouble. only that the two men had been uar- reling all day over trivial matters.

THE COPPER OUTLOOK

The most encouraging feature ot :he copper situation is the awaken ing interest of domestic cousumefs.
 it is estimated that the sales oil home accounts since May 1 have av- .eraged about 100000 pounds day and the indication is for further i'm proycment. The increascd buying, apparently, is a direct result of greater activity in structural work throughout the country April sales of structural steel arc estimated to have increased IS to 2 per cent over tnc preceding month. There has been increased activity sinrce May 1.
 A more confident tone is evident throughout the industry, notwith- standiR the heavy stocks existing iE this country and in Europe. There was also some further buying for export, mainly for shipment to Eng land. Spain is reported in lthc mar lyet for 5G00,B20 pounds
 Statistically, the outlook is stir un-, -avorable, especially because of the relatively heavy importatjons. South American companies arc still send ing metal to this country far in cx- cess of requirements and a rcstain ing influence should be placed upon such producers rather than upon United tSates mines Thus far. this year, the already large surplus oi coppc has been increasing at the rate of nearly 100000 pounds day but with revival in domestic com sumption now in evidence, the out look Is more encouraging.

WEEK OF WEATHER
 THROUGHOUT ARIZONA

PHOENIX, May 29.-The Wea, lher Bureau report for the week Is as follows
 Copious rainfall over a large pat 9f the district has contributed greatly to favorable conditions now prevat ent Summer range, found at tEc higher elevations, Is much better than usual and winter range has been greatly improved by recent showers. The forest supervisor of the Coco nino National Forest reports as fol- lows:
 Even before the recent rains, tue forage conditions within the Coco 1ino forest were unusually favorable Tor that time of the year. This was no doubt due largely to the eXce1, tionally heavy snow fall of last win, Ter followed in April by considerable warm weather. The recent heavy rains have, of course, improved even more tltc forage conditions so thai ct present they are considerably above normal. The best growth on the summer range is doubtless being made by blue grass followed by the nountain bunch grass. The various weeds used by sheep are also getting 2 good start
 These conditions are naturally re sulting in somewhat earlier and heavier voluntary drift of cattle from the winter to the summer ranges than usually takes place. This, how ever, is probably not SO much above normal as at first might nave been thought because the weather cond;- tions have naturally resulted in more forage on the winter range so that it has bccI possible to remain on this range to a little better advantage than usual"
 Crop Progress in Arizona
 Cool and windy weather has been somewhat unfavorable for the best progress Of cotton but one or two warm days are expected to restore ir z; its normal condition. Wheat har vest mas begun to limited exteat and the second cutting of alfalfa $ progressing slowly. Wheat is yield ing well, the heads being well filled and the grain of excellent quality Apricots in carload lots are finding market i'll the mining towns.

FROM AN ECONOMIC VIEW
 WOMAN IS AN ACCIDENT"

Pittsburgh, Par Why are women workers paid less than the men and treated worse?
 Dr. G. H. Barnes, chief of the school of economics of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, answered the question in an address here.
 "Woman is simply an accident, economically speaking, in the indus trial world," he said. Honestly, women are less desirable workers in industry than men, not because of any inefficiency, but from their very nature.
 Women are continually marrying out of industry. They are stran- gers, stopping awhile and going out into homes to rear families. The turnover cost to employers as a re- suit of this constant change is e. normous. This turnover cost a steel firm one year $400 in each case. The shifting population makes a turnover cost of 80 per cent among women employees and makes for lower wage for equal work"

Carl A. Pederson, formerly of Houston, Texas, more recently of Wilson, Arkansas, has purchased the Hotel Marianna from the company and has also closed deal with G. F. McAlexander, lessee of the hotel for the latter's furnishings and equipment. MT. Pederson and wife will take formal charge of the ho- tel on Thursday, July 10. MT. and Mrs. McAlexander, who have been in the hotel business here for many years and who have had charge of the Hotel Marianna since it's erec- ton by the Marianna Hotel Company six years ago, will temporarily re- tre from the business. MT. McAlex- ander stated yesterday he and his wife had made no definite plans for the future.
 The deal for the purchase of the hotel by MT. Pederson has been in- cubating for several weeks and was finally consummated through the eff forts of R. L. Hope, we'll known To- cal real estate and insurance agent in whose hands the property was placed several months ago. It is understood MT. Pederson paid ESQ., GOO for the building and plant and $5,500 for the furnishings belong ing to MT. McAlexander. w. s. McChntock, President of the Marian na Hotel Company, conducted the negotiatinos for the stockholders. The hotel was erected by local peo- pie several years ago merely to pro- vide the city with an up-to-date in- stitution, and not with view to making any money on the invest ment. The building is most mod ern one, three stories in height and is equipped with all the latest con- veninences.
 Mir. Pederson expects to make many improvements in the service and promises to give the travelling public and the people of Marianna one of the best hotels in the state.

CITY COUNCIL IN
 REGULAR MEETING
COMMISSIONERS OF NEW WAT FER DISTRICT APPOINTED CITY WILLING TO OIL ALL STREETS.

At the regular meeting of the city council on Tuesday night J. K. Stevenson, Max D. Miller and M. H. Ford, commissioners of water im- provement district number 1 were appointed as commissioners of the newly created district which will be known as No. 3. The new district embraces all the territory in the city outside of the old district. The final petition bearing the signatures of an overwhelming majority of the property owners in the new district, was presented to the council Tues day night. An adjourned session of the council will be held on Wednes- day night, July Is, at which time a hearing will be given on the suffic- iency of the final petition. Follow ing this session the commissioners will proceed to advertise the bonds and award the contract for the con- struction of the new system of water mains. In the meantime the com missioners have been authorized by resolution passed by the council last month to issue additional bonds for the purpose of raising funds for the improvement of the water plant.
 To Oil All Streets
 The council authorized the board of public works to order several more tanks of oil to be applied to the streets of the city. Originally it was hoped the city would be finan- cially able to oil the streets without calling upon the property owners for any contribution, but the condition of the city's finances will not per- init this expenditure, consequently the council fixed a price of five cents per running foot for the application of oil on the streets. This charge is to be made against the property on each side of the street, the aggre- gate being ten cents per foot, which is barely sufficient to put the city in the clear on the expense of oiling the streets.
 New Sewer District Proposed
 Mayor Johnston stated at the council meeting the people residing outside of the present sewer district were very anxious to have an im- provement district organized for the purpose of constructing a sewer sys- tenn in connection with the new water system. It is understood petition will be presented to the city council at it's next meeting request ing that body to enact an ordinance creating a district of the territory outside of the present sewer district

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Preliminary plans are being made for the statewide centennial celebra- tion to be held in Little Rock Nov. 17-22. Committees are being or ganized and put to work, and all the vast machinery of the centennial commission is being oiled up and put into runnin gorder. It is to be the biggest thing ever undertaken in Arkansas.
 Jim Ferguson, Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures, and Agricul- ture, has been made chairman of the Committee on Agricultural and Mineral Exhibits, and he has named c. w. Watson, State Agricultural Agent, as Clerk of the Committee. All County Agsents have been in structed to begin the preparation of the best available exhibits of agri- cultural products now ripening. It is proposed that this shall be made the greatest feature of the centen- nial, and that every county in the state shall be fully represented by the best it's fields, forests and gar dens can supply. Emphasis is be- ing laid upon the fact that this is a statewide and not a local celebra- tion, and that every county and community is vitally and directly interested.

SUGGEST PLAN ID
 IMPROVE STREETS
CITY COUNCIL LOOKS WITH FA- VOR UPON IDrA OF MAKING sHORT-TERM B oND ISSUE FOR WORK.

Alderman R. L.. Hope struck a popular chord at the meeting of the city council on Tuesday night of this week when he commented upon the fact that Marianna is annually wasting approximately S11,O00 on the streets of the city when the part of wisdom would suggest that bonds be issued to run for period of from seven to ten years and the pro leeds from the sale of the bonds be used in making permanent im- movements on the streets. MT. Hope thought all the territory with in the city limits, exclusive of that now in the paving district, should be organized into street improvement district, bonds issued and with the proceeds the streets should be prop erly graded, curbs and gutters con structed, drainage cared for and the streets oiled three or four times the first year and subsequent applica- tions of oil placed on the streets in succeeding years to keep them m good condition. Alderman Hope call ed attention to the fact that with the grading curbing, guttering and drainage the streets would be m condition to receive permanent paw ing material at any future time. The only work needed for the laying or brick, concrete or asphaltic paving will be the excavation of several inches of dirt.
 The idea was most favorably re- ceived by the mayor and members of the city council. It IS probable a movement will be launched within the next week or ten days looking toward the organization of an im- provement district for the purpose of issuing short-term bonds to inn prove the streets along the nnes suggested by Alderman Hope.

I have been most ia vorably impressed with the, evi- dences of civic pride manifested by the people here and am confident the. hotel business can be made to pay well. Within the next six months I contemplate making many improvements in the plant. The interior of the building will be thor. oughly overhauled, new furnishings will be installed, the dining room service will be put upon more mod ern basis and every detail calculated to appeal to the demands of the trade will be looked after. Within the, next year I hope to have roof garden on the building, and in the hot summer months the kitchen will be moved to the roof. I will make a speciality of the merchants lunch to be served at noon each day, and I hope to make this a popular fea- ture of the busness.
 Special dinners and parties will be handled in modern style. In short, I want to make the Hotel Marianna an institution the people here will be proud of and one they will patronize freely, feeling that they will get as good service as if they were in city"

Rig Improvements
 For Lee County Bank

The quarters of the Lee County National Bank on the first floor of the Lesser building will undergo extensive repairs and enlargement during the next sixty days. The bank has been in crowded condi- tion for several years and at a re- cent meeting of the board of di- rectors it was dcided to supplement the present floor space by acquiring lease on the store room occupied by J. L. Altman, adjoining the bank, and renodeling the interior arrangement. The plans for the improvements have been drawn by Mann & Gatling. of Memphis, and Chas. Mckee, president of the bank, announces that work will be started next week. He hopes to have the job finished within sixty days. In addition to enlarging the banking quarters, new fixtures will be in- stalled. The total cost of the improvements will be $15,000. The fixtures now in use in the bank will be sold to the county. Judge Plum mer secured a rare bargain by pur- chasing them for $l,OOO. They will be installed in the office of the sher- if and collector.
