have indicated their willingness to close two streets. which request was made to the city commission by the carriers several days ago.
 While the plan. which is subject to minor changes. would care for a city of three times the population of Phoenix. SO great is the confidence of railroad men in the growth of the capital of Arizona that before the plans are ac- cepted fin all details an investigation will be made with enlargement of the different features Tn mind If the sta- tion is built as the plans stand. without change. the cost Of construction would be s325.000, according to the estimate placed by R. B. Ball, chief engineer of the Santa F'e coast lines. who stated that tracks. paving and other expenses would bring the cost of the union depot to s700,o00.
 In Mission Style
 The mission type of architecture has been chosen for the structure. which will be built of reinforced concrete. with red tile roof. tile floors and heamed ceilings. The building will be 436 feet in length and a part will be two stories with a mezzanine floor. The entire building will be steam heated.
 The general waiting room. 62x37 feet will be a feature of the main floor. It will have the usual details. the news stand. checking stand. in addition to the ticket office. Leading from the spacious waiting room will be a rest room for women. and a smoking room also will lead directly from the main room. A lunch room has been provided where light lunches and soft drinks will be served but if. after investigation. railroad men see the need of dining room, large quarters will be provided in addition to the small lunch room.
 X telegraph room with a public counter will be one of the many accom- modations to the public offered by the depot. Large express and baggage rooms. parcel post room and an office or two completes the plans for the main floor.
 The mezzanine floor will be utilized for offices and the second floor will also be used as office space.
 The lighting features will be attrac- tive and all the details of the interior will be given strict attention. The exterior. too, will be given considera- ton. Landscape gardening Is promised, although a comfortable portion of the grounds will be set aside for parking space for automobiles.
 Anticipate No Difficulty
 According to railroad officials. it should be possible to break ground for the railroad terminal within the next 60 or 90 days. Tt all depends on the city and the right of way they de- clared. They do not look for any diff cuity in having the streets closed, owing to the attitude of the city commission and the strong sentiment in favor of a union depot for Phoenix, which has been urged for the past several years.
 The price of the proposed location could not be learned and it is not known whether or not the railroads have ap- preached the land owners.
 A number of railroad men appeared before the corporation commission yes terday when approval of the plans was asked. including W. A. Drake. assistant to the vice president in charge of traf- fic. and superintendent of the Phoenix division of the Santa Fe; H. c. Storey, superintendent of the Santa Fe. Pres

 The first step toward securing a union station was taken last December when the corporation commission >cited the railroads to appear and show cause why Phoenix should not be given better depot facilities. The roads were di- rected to improve conditions. either by separate stations or a union depot, pref erably the latter. After the first hear ing there were a series of continuances granted on the ground that the requests for postponment were at all times reasonable.

Johanna En- lists will be found fully up to the standard long since set by "our Mary" She is just as winsome as, ever just as charming and just as effective in her excellent rendition of the little country girl who charmed at least three men from the city, and who found herself face to face with the crisis of having to select one of them as her life mate. Just how she proved the worth of each man forms the very interesting theme of the clevcrly constructed comedy drama

Diana Tennant. played by Katherine Macdonald in ''The Turning Point" at the Columbia theater for the last times today and tonight. holds her love in abeyance and risks his hatred to point out the way of manhood for him. The Turning Point is the third and declared to be the best of the productions that the American Beauty has been starred in since forming her own company.

Just look at thatl" was the inviting remark heard the other evening in front of the American, just as Gene Dabney's Vernon Six struck the first notes of happy jazz. But the disturb ance. if it can be considered one. was nothing more than a girl who had changed her tagging pace into one of the most animated jazzes in response to the palpitating melodies, as she continued up Adams street.
 And it's the general opinion of by islanders that she is not to be cen sured, for it's almost impossible to pass the American al any time during the evening without jazzing up a bit-that is, if you really manage first of all to force yourself past the door and re- frain from entering and enjoying the popular collection of jazz artists to the fullest extent.

World to Eat Reindeer.

Reindeer will furnish the future
meat supply Of the world-or Of a
large part Of 1t. so say explorers and
scientists. Incidentally, the reindeer
and the caribou are the same animal,
except that the reindeer was domesti-
Gated before history began.
In Alaska there are more than 10O,-
600 square miles Of land suitable for
the grazing of reindeer; they grow fat
where cattle would starve. The rein
deer herds double every three years.
In Alaska IL years ago the reindeer
industry was put on commercial
basis with 100 reindeer. Now there
are over 100000 The surplus males
were killed this year to the number OF
10000.
The enthusiasts are looking to the
day when Alaska can ship 100000
carcasses a year. These can be deliv-
cred at Seattle for 81 a carcass The
average weight is $50 pounds. A pro-
duction cost Of cent pound is the
goal toward which the enthusiasts are
working.
At present reindeer hide is worth
about 81 and the meat sells for about
30 cents pound.

sufferer had broken out with loath-
some sores because Of infection and
lack of proper care, this missionary at
once took him in charge and began TO
treat him. Daily for a year or more
this missionary carefully bathed the
sores with ointment and tended Joe
Sokonik. While he gave medical at
tention. he taught.
When finally the lOathsome disease
had been gotten rid OF, Sokonik could
not move his legs. as they were dou-
bled up under him in position from
which they could not be extricated.
Not dismayed, however. the mission
airy had built for him a sled which
fitted his condition. On this sled and
from It, Joe Sokonik determined to
teach his people. Daily he may be
seen in the village of Kivalina bump

either by dogs or by some willing
hands. And daily he teaches at the

the village from his store Of knowledge

bumped up the steps to the main floor
