Low pressure areas which develop over the south west usually gain in strength as they move eastward. and often become se- we're storms in the Mississippi valley.

VALLEY APPEALS TO OREGON SHERIFF ON
 SHORT VISIT HERE

One and one-half hours after he took the oath of office. Sheriff Frank B. Ferguson of Yanhill county, Oregon, was on a train enroute to Phoenix. He arrived here yesterday armed with requisition papers for Charles Rowand, wanted at McMinnville, Oregon, on a charge of larceny. Rowand was ar rested by Maricopa county officers last week on adyices from Oregon peace officers
 This valley is indeed a wonder land" Sheriff Ferguson declared after he had been shown through the farm gomery. Why don't you advertise the valley and let outside people know what you have got here, or is it so good that you want to keep it all to yourself?
 Your beautiful sunshine. your balmy winter weather and your wonderful agricultural lands should be an asset Of iinmeasurable value to your dis triet" he continued. If people fully realized what the Salt River valley really is. Phoenix would double in pop ulation in less than year.
 "Of course. we have heard of Phoe- nix up in Oregon. but we supposed il to be a city of the average midlle- western class, surrounded by COW ranches and a few small farms here and there If the people of our state knew of the many advantages in this community, I believe that big share of them would come to Arizona for thf winter months rather than going tC California It's the advertising tha' counts and that's just what you Ari- zonans need to give you your proper place among the states of the union-

TOMBSTONE MYSTERY APPEARS IN PHOENIX; WHAT DOES T MEAN?

Strange activities were going on in the downtown district in the wee sma' hours of yesterday morn ing, and when the sun rose later Tn the day a genuine mystery was revealed.

By last night the city was agog with won der as to what 1t all meant.
 The tombstone Is about two feet square and fl feet high It is in the center of 8 little graveyard about five by IS feet. containing two graves. The actual shaft and graves, however. excited only half as much wonder as did the inscrip- tion on the tombstone. for on each of Its sides one read:

 "The convention will discuss busi- ness conditions, problems of mer- chants. store systems. efficiency, and the prospects ahead of us, said MT. Weber ''This is the time when all business men should be apostles of optimism and plan for the future"
 "The past 12 months have been the best in the history of the cash regls- ter. business" continued MT. Weber This certainly speaks well for the prosperity of this country. The sale of cash registers is said to be a ba- rometer of business conditions. If a community is prosperous. merchants handle more money, and they require more store equipment. This means more cash registers, as merchants all over the world have come to realize that these machines are an important part of good business system and a necessity for efficient and successful storekeeping"
 The guests of honor at the conven ton will be the members Of the lSZO Hundred Per Cent club. This organ ization consists of the N. c. R. sales agents and salesmen who have secured 100 per cent or more of their year quota of business. Out of total of 500 representatives in the United States and Canada, almost 400 have won membership in the club.

CITY ALREADY HAS
 4 GAS INSPECTOR.

In a recent issue of The Republican there appeared in an article on gas heaters a statement to the effect that more than a dozen cases of carbon monoxide poisoning had been reported within the past three years. This statement was not correct, according to communication from the gas com pany. pr. H. K. Beauchamp, city health officer. said that in the past dozen years a few cases of carbon monoxide poisoning have been re- ported.
 There have been but two authen- ticated cases of carbon monoxide poi soning in Phoenix during the past 20 years, the gas company official stated
 It was also stated that city gas inspector was to be appointed. The city has gas and plumbing inspector for the last four or five years who inspects every gas or plumbing install lation and to whom each person max ing such installation pays a fee for the inspection thereof

Tried to Rreak Ind JaiI

Occasionally in the past men have attempted to break out of the Mari copa county jail, but U. P. Cosby. a carpenter, is the first one so far 10 attempt to break into the jail. The authorities, believing a man who wanted to break into jail must be in- sane. brought an insanity charge against him. After a hearing before Judge Stanford and Dr. G. s. Monicai, county physician, Cosby was adjudged sane and released.
 Cosby first made his strange request to break into jail Saturday morning when he appeared at the sheritt's of- flee and startled officers with the an- nouncement that he would like to Ce sent to the state penitenIary They advised him that suca a procedure was out of the question, and explained that only men convicted of felony and sentenced by the judge could be sent to the penitentary.
 Cosby inquired about felonies and was informed on the subject. Then he announced that he wished to swear out a complaint and was directed to Jus tice Nat T. Mckee of the West Phoe- nix precinct. A few minutes later he appeared before Justice Mckee and declared he wanted to file a com plaint aganist himself He informed the justice that he desired to go to the penitentiary and said he wanted to bring charge of perjury against him. self.
 He told the justice he would sign the complaint if the judge would draw up one. Cosby declared he had sworn falsely to his age before the assessor recently to avoid paying the poll and school tax. He said he had given his age as more than 50 years when in fact he was only 59 years old. Justice Me- kee got in touch with R. E. l.. Shep- herd, county attorney, and an insanity | charge was brought against Cosby. Justice Mckee then advised Cosby that he could not swear out com plaint against himself Cosby said he wanted to get into the state prison because his funds were running low and he was unable to get work.
 At the insanity hearing he said ht was native of Illinois and had beer | in Arizona for the past year and a half Both Dr. Monical and Judge 1 Stanford decided Cosby was sane anC released him. After sitting around the sheriff's office for a time, Cosby said l he reckoned he would be going ana 1 left the office.
