LOCAL NOTES
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!


While sugar is costing penny a
grain
tAnd coal is a quarter a lump,
While milk is a dime for a drop at
time
.,And half of it comes from the
pump;
While shoes that are worth about
nothing ap air
Can only be worn by the rich,
And stockings and collars are
ninety-five dollars
And shirts are a nickel a sticth;
While may get chance at a new
T. pair of pants
Somewhere on that beautiful
shore,
The best I can send is card to a
friend,
Who is really worth a lot more.

Where Rights Conflict

IL is not easy in this world to adjust things that when the rights of one man are pro- tected those of another not infrinScd upon This truth touched upon at the latest meeting of the city commission when the question of enactng legis- lation prevent the erection of shacks within the city limits taken It was stated that such legislation could only the form of extending the fire limits and the restrictions which now en- forced within the limits It pointed out that such extension would work hardship upon many people who build houses for their use, to rent and whose financial means would permit only the building of cheap houses.
 The legislation proposed directed only at the practice of putting shaclzs alleys crowd ing great together a limited area but it would necessarily been applicable to any house of type that might have been prescribed by such ordinance had been proposed to enact.
 pc a hardship be vented from building his own land such house he could afford and apparently an unjust inter ference with his rights. On the other hand such a only he might be able build would have deteriorating effect all the property in the neighborhood. It would invite others of similar struction would discourage the building of those of a better type.
 As the building of houses alleys, for sani- ary should be discouraged for the sake of the whole town, that would tend to make Phoenix city shacks rather than of residences is equally that tine practice of filling entire lot with houses of flimsy and inflammable character with little space between only
 
 unsantary but increases the fire hazard in the neghborhood. There should be way to the rights of those who unable to build good houses and a the time protect communi ties against those who threaten the prosperity, the health and safety of community
 The supreme of Minnesota has just tained a law giving cities of the first class the power establish building restrictions and d within which the erection of structures injurious general property interests may be for bidden. This decision is regarded a victory for the home owner. the who builds build home for himself and not mere hovel which he usurious price, It affords to citizens of such cities those which the law applies, the protection to which they entitled in select ing desirable residence district and in expendng their money attractive buildings and grounds
 This law will also put a stop to contemptibe practice which had obtained in of the Mnne- cities and perhaps in all ctes-that of holding up adjacent property owners with threats of struction of undesirable buildings in order to sell property them than its real value.
 This legislation all legislation, should be with reference to the good of the greatest number. good practice to hold back the growth a city order that a hardship upon a may be avoided.

STECHER WINS
 WORLD'S TITLE
 FROM CADDOCK
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Joe Stetcher of Nebraska, tonight won the heavy weight wrestling championship sat ca tch las catch can by defeating Earl Caddock of Iowa, with body scissors and arm lock after more than two hours Of wrestling.
 They had gone so minutes when Stetcher secured a headlock out of which Caddocll squirmed. Caddock gave a wonderful exhibition of defen- sive tactics in preventing body scis- sors. and cleverly offset Stetcher's per sistent attack which lasted fully three minutes.
 In another effort for a leg hold, Stetcher showed his strength by lifting Caddock bodily while in a kneeling position. The match had then gone one hour and forty-five minutes.
 Madison Square Garden was filled to capacity with thousands of enthusiastic spectators, including numbers of sol diers and sailors. the bluejackets par tisans of Stetcher, who had served in their ranks during the war, and the doug hboys roofing for the Iowan, who had served with them in France. While Caddock conceded 20 pounds in weight to the Nebraskan. he put up a magnifi- cent battle and it was not until within five minutes of the end that his oppon ent gained a decisive advantage.
 Just before the close of the second hour Stetcher secured a body scissors and wrist lock after Caddock had made a supreme but futile effort to obtain q half Nelson. Caddock brought the spectators to their feet when he broke tie double hold as his left shoulder was barely an inch from the mat for q pin fall. The effort had. however. ap- Iarently exhausted him for a moment later he was again gripped in body scissors and this time both his shoulders went to the mat.
 The official time was two hours, five minutes and thirty seconds.
 Madison Square Garden was thronged to it's capacity tonight when Joe Stetcher of Nebraska. met Earl Cad deck of Iowa, in an endeavor to wrest from him the title of heavyweight wrestling champion. Referee George Eothner started the bout at 9:1S o'clock.
 Stecher had the advantage in height and was seemingluy about 20 pounds heavier than Caddock. Both were very cautious at the start and for 10 min utes simply paved each others neck

PHOENIX GUN CLUB PLANS BIC SHOOT
 AT FAIR GROUNDS

The days of good old trap shoot ing are coming back again to the times when everything was put aside for the sake of shooting the little clay pigeons.
 It seems that the interest taken by Sportsmen throughout the country is becoming more popular this season than ever before, since their is so much more to gain in being perfect shot. Ever since the end of the war there has been hundreds of new men take to the art of trap shooting. in an eff fort to uphold their shooting eye that was so keen during the big battle.
 However, owing to the large num- Der of shooters that wish to partici- pate in this pastime this season, it has been necessary for the gun clubs all over the United States to keep the interest stirred up. and as an outcome of this effort it has developed some great events for the present season.
 The Phoenix Gun club starts prac ticing immediately to be in readiness for the big state tournament that is to be held in April at kingman, AIf- zona. The first practice shoot will take place next Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock sharp. and Secretary D. F.. Morrell, stated yesterday that the club has planned to have many interesting events during the near future. The club also issues an invitation to any strangers, tourists or interested par shoot a few birds during these shoots to do so whether they are members of the club or not.
 The Phoenix Gun club is now To- cated at the end of Mcdowell road east of Phoenix it is just opposite the rifle range on the way to Papago Park. They have two splendid traps and s> club house on the grounds making ideal spot for a Sportsman'S paradise
 It might be of interest to know that d letter was received recently from the Ray Gun club inviting all Phoenix shooters to attend the big shoot to be held at Ray on Washington birthday, and :t is the hope of the local sports men to have at least three squads present at this shoot, so get busy fel- lows and throw your hats in the ring.

WINNER IF BOUT NEXT FRIDAY II
 GET JORDAN GO
Gotch and Pappas Are Be- ing Brought Together for First Time in This City Hard Match Expected

In matching Young Gotch and Gus PappaS for a finish bout in this city Friday, February 6, Phoenix promoters have accomplished something which promoters throughout the southwest have been endeayoring to do for the past two months. Both men have post ed s250 forfeit money to guarantee their appearance here on the date above mentioned
 Pappas, claimant of the American middleweight wrestling title, has steadfastly refused to match the Cali fornia wonder, Gotch declared yester- day. Tentative arrangements for a match have been made on numerous occasions, he said, only to have Pappas refuse to sigp the final contract
 Gotch sprang into prominence al- most overnight when he went over two hours to a draw with Charley Miller. the pride of California. The bout was declared draw by the ref cree when Gotch broke Miler's left leg with a toe hold, although by all rules of wrestling the Greek demon should have been awarded the verdict.
 Miller. local fans will recall, is the boy who defeated Mike Yokel of Salt Lake City in one of the most sensa- tional wrestling bouts ever held in the far west Yokel at that time was considered one of the logical contend CTS for the middleweight title held by Chris Jordan, and his unexpected de- feat at the hands of the Los Angeles marvel completely upset all dope in the wrestling world
 Then Young Gotch appeared on the scene around Los Angeles. He was pitted against several second class performers and won all of his matches with ease. He then sought a match with Miller. For fl months he con- tinued on the trail of the California cyclone and was finally awarded a bout after he had made all kinds of concessions in the matter of weight and money.
 can make the 15S pounds without diff ficulty. A majority of the present day middleweights, for example generally enter the ring weighing about 165s pounds, except in a championship bout.
 The Gotch- Pappas bout has been arranged as the final of series of elimination contests to determine an opponent for Chris Jordan, middle weight wrestling champion of the world. when he appears in Phoenix some time in February.
 The expense attached to bringing Jordan to this city makes the bout also prohibitive for a city of this size. but local promoters are confident that Phoenix fans will turn out in force to witness the match.
