SHRINE CEREMONY SETS
 ITS HIGH MARK

By far the most elaborate, the best carried out and the most enjoyed lodge celebration ever held in the state of Arizona-such is the concensus of opinion of those who participated in and were spectators of the twenty fifth anniversary ceremonial of Fl Zaribah temple of the Mystic Shrine, held at Phoenix last week.
 The dedication of/the new Shrine auditorium, the parade and the grand ball which brought the festivities to an end, were all conducted in a man. ner which brought forth fulsome praise from members of the order old and new as well as from the general public, and the members of the vari- ous committees responsible for the wonderful success of the program are being congratulated on all sides.
 One of the features of the cere- monial was the initiation of the larg- est class of noviees in the history of the temple. This class was composed of 2lS representative business and professional men from all parts of Arizona.

COURT UPHOLDS THE
 RAIROADS IN RATE CASE

Several cases arising out of grant ing of rate increases to the railroads by the interstate commerce commis- sion and the attempt by the roads to have the Arizona corporation commis- sion raise intrastate rates to conform with the interstate charges, were dis missed by Federal Judge William C. VanFleet, of the northern district of California.
 The cases grew out of an injunction secured by the state commission in the state courts to prevent the railroads from increasing rates in Arizona. Since then the cases have been trans ferred to the federal courts.
 In granting the motion to dismiss the cases, Judge VanFleet indicated that it was done without prejudice and allowed the attorney generals of flee 20 days in which to file an amend ed complaint.
 The motion to dismiss was made by attorneys for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Arizona Eastern, the Arizona and New Mexico, and the Apache and other railroads.

Lorenzo Hubbell, the Grand Old Man of Apache county, former chair man of the republican state commit tee, and one time candidate for the United States senate, sat in the lobby of the hotel Adams last night and dealt wittily and adroitly with the subject of politics and women.
 "In politics one must be diplomatic to ones enemies," he said gravely, but his twinkling eyes gave the opposite impression. Forgive him-when you cant lick him. When he Smites you on one cheek, smite him on both so as to have the balance in your favor"

 He shied from the subject of wom- ems dress with quickness and dis patch.
 "Oh, evil to him who evil thinks" he quoted. "Women to me are beauti- flu, no matter how they dress. There are no other kind of women in Ari- zona. Once had to address a meet ing of Arizona pioneers, among them many women. I mentioned the fact that I saw many wiinkled and white haired men, who. showed the marks of their fight against the frontier, but when I looked at the faces of the women I saw no signs of age or any thing but beauty. That is all see in any woman, now"

WOULD HAVE STATE
 AID UNEMPLOYED

F. J. K. Mcbride, of Phoenix, an- nounces that he is preparing bill to be introduced in the legislature pro- viding an appropriation of $25,00O for the relief of unemployed, unskilled agricultural laborers.
 MT. Mcbride said the bill would provide relief for unemployed all over the state, but was being drawn with Maricopa county especially in mind. The measure, he said, was initiated by the Arizona Federation of Labor and the Phoenix Trades Council as re- suit of conditions in the Salt River valley arising from the cotton situa- tion.
 Five days ago the trades council undertook to feed the unemployed. Seventy-five were fed at the first monday meal. Since then the num- Der has grown so that the council is no longer able to bear the expense and is asking the legislature to as sume the burden, he said.
 There are entire families living down by the river without shelter of any kind" said Mr. Mcbride. "The people have no idea of the number of destitute in the valley--women, chil- dren and men are in actual want. Many of them are laborers from Mex ico, while among the number are oul own Mexicans ard not few whit, men,"
 Distress has been reported among laborers in Maricopa, Yuma and Co., chise counties, MT. Mcbride said.

He said that he was sure that the bank would get at least 50 per cent of that loan, which would help quite considerably in the settlement. He also said that the First National bank of Albuquer- que offered to allow 25 per cent of the loss in the local bank, which would amount to about $50,000. This with about S66,000 from the Fancher out fit would make quite a start toward the settlement. He also said that there were other things that were be- ing done there which would raise the amount of available assets to quite a formidable figure. He promised to give more in reference to the bank as the conditions present.-Holbrook Tribune.
