First OF ALL get it firmly fixed in

l. W. W. WHO CAME TO OPEN HEADQUARTERS DIDN'T HARRY LONG

Another ''wobbly'' wobbIed out of Phoenix Saturday after Chief of Po- lice Brisbois informed Rough" Me Dougal that this was not a good city in which to establish 1. w. w. head quarters
 McDougal came to Phoenix with full credentials and authority to open a branch headquarters Of the I. w w. here to care for the local members who lost their home following d raid on their old place on Cactus Way several weeks ago. He carried book number 471146. The chief added the digits, found the total to be g and asked Me Dougal If he appreciated the Signltl- canoe of the numerals.
 When McDougal professed ignorance concerning the slang phrase commonly connected with the number p. Chief BrisboiS proceeded to explain by illus tration. He conducted the credentialed member of the Industrial Workers Of the World into the cell room of the city jail.
 You see there is a limit to the ca pacity of this place." the chief eX- plained. '.The city would like to fur nish a place where your organization could maintain it's headquarters, but ri6elt at present we have very cramped facilities It is possible you were con- sidering opening an office outside thls building. But the city would not De oOlhS us o0ly dS iiOSL lO diioN IAisNN" As long as you are in the city we feel obliged to protect you from the great number of people who can not appre- fc1ate your ideas of government IT you want to stay I might find place for you in the bull pen, but in its present crowded condition I cant guarantee it would be comfortable.
 McDougal decided he could find a more suitable place for his purpose in some other city, and so departed, leaV- ing with the chief an I. w. w. due book which boasted a generous array or stamps, credentials which the or ganiZation issues to it's delegates, and wonderfully embossed Certificate of Industrial Freedom
 Phoenix is pretty well rid of that type" commented the chief following the haSty departure of McDougal. Among the effects left by McDougal was a bulletin issued by the I. w. w.. in which much space was given to Cannon, who recently left Phoenix for Butte, Mont. where he was to assume the office of secretary of "S00- Ac- Cording to the bulletin, Cannon arrived at Butte in a highly intoxicated condi ton and continued to stay drunk. This was too much for even the radicals, and Cannon has been refused the secretary ship to which he was appointed. In reply, Cannon is reported as saying in open meeting:
 T will take office by force if nec- essary. If you want to bust up 800, will bust it up, too"
 To compIicate matters, A. $. Embree, former secretary of "S00', who refused to turn over the office to Cannon, was arrested January 13 and is now being held pending deportation proceedings
 So the office of secretary of 800 re- mains unified. Anyone desiring to make application may perhaps be able to induce Chief Brisbois to part with the fine array of I. w. w. credentials which McDouga1 left.

LAY PLANS FOR 1OO HOUSE SANATOR|UM
 NEAR CASA GRANDE

CASA CYANIDE. Feb. To start with the construction of 100 houses, a big tubercular sanita.rium project is being planned by a number of physi- clans and their associates in Casa Grande.
 The site for the enterprise, which is now taking shape, is an ideal one, consisting of a half section of land six miles northeast of Casa Grande on a mesa. This mesa is about 40 feet above the level of Casa Grande and eight miles west of the historic Toltec ruins. It lies directly south of shell tering range of mountains which af- lords protection from cold winds. The view from the mesa is delightful.
 It is proposed to build 1000 houses at first, each one to cost. furnished about s2,00O These houses will be rented to families and individuals at q monthly rental of $50. This is to include the services of a resident phy, sician. There will also be constructed a hospital, an electric light plant, an office building, experimental laboratory for the advanced study of the disease, and a residence for the attending phy sician. Each dwelling house will con- sist of living room and library, 30 5y 20 feet, sleeping rooms, bath room kitchen and a sleeping porch. Each house will occupy one acre and all buildings are to be up-to-date and sanitary.
 It is intended to sell the stock chif- ty to physicians of the Pacific coast and the eastern states, the purchaser : of stock to have preferred rights to aomes for his patients.
 The management is desirous of hay ing physicians consider the above gen. eral plan and offer suggestions in it's furtherance and Improvement Let ters may be addressed to F. o. Box 92. Casa Grande.
 Arizona ranks number one in the cure of consumption. It is true many people in the state, hotel keepers. lodging house proprietors and home owners. are unwilling to receive such patients, and the above plan has been evolved as a refuge for those seeking health and respite in the very sa- lubrious climate of almost perpetual sunshine The plan is worthy of cooperation of thoughtful and humani- tarian people
 F. P. Drew has cleared his 40 acres adjoining the Drew first addition, making a great improvement in the north end of town. He will also build a fine little home. modern and well equipped for a winter residence. He prefers a winter in Arizona to one in California
 Street grading is being pushed rap- idly in all parts of town, keeping pace with the building of many new homes going up in all the new additions.
