PRICE STILL THE SAME.

INSURANCE rates have not been ralsed--ln
fact. have been reduced in many cities since other
costs have been mounting higher and hlgher.
This fact is brought out by T. H. Williams OF Paci
States Fire ms Co. of Portland, Oregon Mr.. Will
Jams says: .
Insurance Companies, Life Fire. Accident,
Automobile or Casualty, have not increased their
rates since the world war started Clerk hlre paper
printing, and all supplies used in the manufacture OF
Indemnity have more than doubled during the war
period and the insurance companies have not ASKED
the public to pay this additional expense. FIRE
Insurance Companies have reduced their rates ma,
teriay during the last three years and have carried
this additional burdl2 without calling upon the pu
bile for aid
''In 1914 the federal taxes on insurance pre-
miums were per cent; they are now twelve tmes
that plus an excess rrofitax, plus war profit tax
and plus capital stock tax, and in addition to all
these l per cent on the gross premiums income
without any deductions whatever for canccnatons;
cancellations with all companies average 70 per cent
The net underwriting profit in the U. s. last year
was 1S9 per cent, a small margin upon winch TO
work. Insurance companies are to be commenced
for their loyalty in paying the increased taxation
and cost of doing business, without increasing the
cost of indemnity to the public

The Wonders Of America
1.-THE CATHEDRAL OF COM.
MERGE"
BY T. T. MAxEY

THE Woolworth building, New York
l city, the highest Office building in
all the world, Is often referred to as
1.-The Cathedral Of Commerce" This
marvellous building Is 1872 feet or go
stories tall About 100000 human
beings reside within the bird's-eye
view visible from the observation gal
lery on the fifty-eighth floor. This
view, so unusual, so wonderful, has at
tracted representatives from more
than sixty different countries.
About four hundred feet Of the out
side of the upper portion of the tower
is flood lighted at night. This causes
the building to present bold and i'm
posing spectacle-visible, it's said, 40
miles at sea. The structure weighs
$4,000 tons, this tremendous weight
being supported by SO caissons. the
largest 10 feet in diameter, all going
down to bed rock or ITO feet below
the sidewalk. Engineers claim its con-
struction is so solid and safe that 1t
would withstand a wind having a We.
locity of 200 miles per hour.
About $50 people are required to OPP
crate and maintain the building, which
contains almost thirty acres Of floor
space. The tenants and their employ
ees number about ten thousand. To
serve them and those who enter to
transact business with them, % ele-
vators are required. About $4,000 peo-
pie, on an average, ride in them daily.
Approximately 100000 pieces of mail
matter are delivered in the building
daily. The two elevators which oper-
ate to the tower are the fastest ele-
vators in the world, having speed Of
7()0 feet ner minute.

Here and There In Arizona
Newsy About Arizona

August and September. AS the work
of hauling ore will be commenced on
this road as soon as it is passable for
trucks.
The Diamond Joe mine is one of the
most important properties in the &C.
dar Valley country, having produced
many thousand tons of high-grade
that was shipped to Colorado and CAL
fornia smelteers. Many thousands of
tons are now on the dumps and in the
mine slopes that will average $40 to
the ton of silver and gold. This ore
responds readily to oil flotation, the
product being extremely high. The
mill is capable of handling fifty tons
of ore daily and the recovery indicat-
ed will be above eight-five per cent.
Mr. Bradshay who will have active
charge OF the property, has been in
operations in that field for the past
several years and is well qualified to
take charge of this enterprise. He
proposes driving tunnel from low
point on Diamond Joe Mountain into
the vein, from which level all the lat
er work will be carried. Ore shows
in the outcrop in the vein far down
the mountain that carries mill val
ues. The vein is large and promi-
nent, cutting through one of the high
est peaks of the east side of the main
range. A road has been built to with
in mile of the dumps and the ore
will be packed to the road, whence it
will be hauled by truck to the mill
A large burro pack train is now at the
mine preparing to pack the first big
shipment of ore.

How Governor Campbell was select
ed by the Indian warriors who enter
tanned the king and queen of Belgium
to intercede on behalf of the chief of
the tribe with his majesty, is the in
teresting story brought back from
Grand Canyon by R. P. Mines, the
governors secretary.
Big Chief Pete. it seems, had been
decorated by the king. After it was
all over with and Big Pete was strut
Ting around in a derby hat and
Prince Albert coat, the only ones
worn, the real chief of the tribe ap-
peared on the scene and it came out
that Big Pete was not the first chief
after all, but merely an ordinary sub
chief.

the decorations which had been awar-
ded Big Pete, and all the honors that
went with it. The ceremony would
have to be undone, and the real chief
crowned with the glory to which he
was rightly entitled. This was the
claim laid before Governor Campbell,
and as the great white father of Ari-
IONA he was requested to straighten
the matter out in the proper way.
But the governor declined the hon
or. The king himself is the only one
who can make the change, he told
the Indian warrors, and stoically they
abided by his decision without further
argument or luibbling, and without
offering the suggestion even that the
real chief be accorded like honors to
that which had been usurped by Big
Pete.

THE FINAL SPIKE.

EATITH the other handicaps under which U. S.
W ocean going shipping operates, it is now
threatened with control of Interstate Commerce
Commission under Esch-P omerene bill before Con-
gress.
1t would take just about such measure as this
to drive the final spike in the coffin of most of our
shipping enterprises.
The Interstate Commerce Commission very sue
cessfuy wrecked the railroad lines and the prospect
of such destructive control of shipping interests is
enough to discourage companies which are trying to
develop an American merchant marine in competit-
ton with the more advantagously operated foreign
boats.
