VISIT HOME PROVED
 PHOENIX BEST TOWN

Dr. D. D. Northrup, accompanied by Mrs. Northrup, returned yesterday from visit to his old home town" in Lima, Ohio. Dr. Northrup has long taken an active part in civic affairs in Phoenix.
 Not one single town, not one single community anywhere in any state did I find that for ne minute interested me, or that l liked better tha ngood old Phoenix" is the way he expressed himself upon his return to Phoenix yesterday. Not only did Dr. Northrup feel this way about it while in the east but it seems that he has convinced some of his old associates of the same idea as several families have defi- nitely determined to move their all tc Phoenix as soon as possible as a result of this Arizona boosting.

Roads Bad Near Glendale

The heavy rains of last night and this morning have rendered the streets of Glendale and adjacent country roads almost impossible. Glendale people are anxiously awaiting the time when she can pave her streets. There is also a, great deal of inpatience about the amount of time that it is seeming to take to get action on the county road pro- gram. Many have expressed the opin- ion that while we wait for the good roads" to be built that it might be well to do some repair or reconstruction work on Grand avenue. This is as full of chuckholes as the old corduroy roads that used to pave the swamps of some of the middle western states.
 With the state fair approaching, it seems that if it would be at all possible those in charge would get busy on fix ing up this road so that fair visitors would get at least a good impression of the Salt River valley and Maricopa county. Phoenix business men are over looking a good bet when they do not demand the immediate repair of this road Glendale has made up her mind for some sort of concerted action in this matter.

INJURY KEEPS JOHN
 L0PER FROM SCHOOL

A fractured thigh will keep John To- per, son of Superintendent of Schools and Mrs. John D. Loper, away from his studies for several weeks, accord ing to attending physicians.
 As the result of an accident which occurred but few days after he reg. istered as a freshman at high school the boy will be compelled to remain in bed for some time it is said.
 It was while he was riding his bicy- ce a short distance from his home on North First avenue that the cement gave way, releasing the tire and caus- ing the wheel to become manageable. and he was thrown to the ground. After the injury becomes less painful, physicians state that the high school student will be able to continue his studies with a tutor. The superinten- dents son believes that he will be able to keep up with his class, which he hopes to join before the spring semes- ter.

Sugar TO Cost More.

The Statesville Landmark thus
writes editorially of the sugar
situation: Following the scarcity
of sugar comes the rise in price,
and neither the wholesaler nor
the retail dealer will benefit by
the rise. The sugar division of
the food administration has fixed
the price of New Orleans sugar
at 13A cents to the consumer.
The wholesaler pays the refer II
cents, sells to the retailer sells
to the consumer at 16$. Tie pro-
ducer the farmer who grows
the cand and rhe refiner s(man-
ufacturer) of sugar get che bene.
fit of the increase. Naturally the
producer and retiner can show
and evidently have shown to the
satisfaction of the food admins. :.
tration What the cost of growing
and refining sugar has increased,
even as cost of production has in
crease in other lines. Notwith-
standing theexplanaion, the mass
of the people, who have suspect
ed that the sugar shortage was
framed for the purpose of profit:
eering, will bedisposed to regard
the rise in price as evidence of
that belief. While that suspicion
is natural, considering the in.
creased cost of production in all
lines of business, it is reasonable
to suppose that it is costingmore
to grow and refine sugar; and un-
less the profits have been excess
sive, the cost must be increased
to the consumer. a.
The Landmark holds no brief
for the sugar trade. Its interest
is in the lower price. But it is
suggesting these matters for
consideration before we 60 off
half-cocked and denounce the
whole business. In anyevent it is
clear that the merchants, who
are usually made the goats, are
not the beneticiaries of the rise
in price.

Sixty Years Aiirs.

The recent coal strike has re-
vived discussion of the horrible
destruction of coal by fire. Much
is heard of foresttires. OurState
Forester has not permitted us to
forget for a day the damage
wrought by these. But few peo-
pei are aware of the fact. that the
great coal beds of this country
are susceptible to the same sort
of destruction.
1t is said that fire has for sixty
years been slowly but surely dcs-
troying one of the richest coal
veins in Pennsylvania. That is
bad enough, but think whatwould
happen if this fire should ever
reach an underground lake. 1t
would undoubtedly produce en-
ough compressed steam to blow
off a mountain top, and in that
case we would be offered an on
tirely new theory of volcanic &C.
tion-not too bad a theory, eth.
er, to compare favorably with
same of those that have followed
each other in succession.
Picture an enormous coal vein
running deep through the Dor.
ders of an underground lake.
Imagine a generated steam pow
er sufficient to blow off a noun
tain top, a heat sufficient to dis
solve even solid rock, and you
face volcanic eruption orapret,
ty geod imitation of one. Itmay
be answered that there are nc
underground lakes, but there
are. In that deep coal vein
can not burn for lack of air, but
this Pennsylvania vein is deep
and has continued to burn fol
sixty years, dcvouring unac
countable tons of coal.
Many schemes to check this
underground fire, have been
tried, we read, at great cost, in
cluding flooding, but it burned
right on. The latest scheme is
to tunnel through the vein in ad
vance of the blaze and remove
the coal, thus stopping the fire
for lack of fuel. But the heavy
undertaking may not be compile
ted in time, and even if it shoul(
be there may remain veins still
on fire. And some day, if it wa.
to reach water, the explosion like
| ly to follow would cause a mighty
disturbance and perhaps be fol
lowed by an interesting scientific
discussion. Winston Journal.
