MILLION AND \
 HALF FUR W. J.
 DIVISION WORK
tFrom Wednesdays Dailyl

VI iOill " NhliIodehS DdHSJ
 Two and one-half million dollars are being expended this year in i'm provement of the service over the Pacific division of the Western Union Telegraph company, it was stated here yesterday by J. J. Mon zingo, of San Francisco, divisional valuation engineer for the Pacific division of the company, who is in Prescott for few days for the pur- pose of checking up wire mileage changes in this county in connection with revision of tax reports.
 A $5O,OOO contract has just been let by the Western Union ill Los Angeles for laying of conduits and laterals, etc, to the terminal con- meeting with the line from San Francisco to Fl Paso. Four new copper wires are to be run over this line, to connect with the four-wirc line from Fl Paso to New York. Multiplying the distance of 1,296 miles from San Francisco by four, gives a total of 5,184 miles of cop per wire to be run through. With 2l0. pounds of copper wire used to the mile, the Western Union com pany this year is using 1,088,640 pounds of copper in the construc- ton of this four-wlre line between San Francisco and Fl Paso alone.
 Contracts on other improvements, many of which consist in the re- placing of overhead wires in cities by underground conduit and cable systems, are being let ill cities, in- cluding San Francisco, Berkeley, Portland, Seattle and others.
 Monzingo's work here consists in revising previous accountings of company property in various dis tricts over this county. Tax reports of the Western Union company are based on pole-line and wire mileage in county, municipality, and school and other special districts. Reports as between two years do not differ much in some counties, Monzingo said yesterday. In Yavapai, 72 miles of iron wire have been run from Ash Fork to Flagstaff, and wire run from Drake to Clarkdalc during the past year. Somewhat offsetting this increased mileage is the removal of the iron wire along the line of the United Verde & Pacific.
 In addition to his work here, Mon zingo is visiting his friends in this city, MT. and Mrs. Ward H. Wheeler He and MT. Wheeler were class mates at Stanford university, where they were also members of the same fraternity.

TAKEN ID HERD AFTER A
 PUBLIC STANCE
Qcrom Wednesdays Daily)


 Crowds of interested observers who gathered to watch the curious proceedings indulged in yesterday by a number of animals rumored to be wild and untameable, were thrilled by a pace which last night ended in the animals being tanned.
 It was a herd of Elk which af- forded the very considerable amuse- ment enjoyed by passersby at the corner of Cortez and Gurley. The passers ceased to pass, and loitered to observe various antics of various novices, handcuffed, chained and otherwise rendered temporarily in nocuous. A number of passing automobiles also ceased to pass though their pausing was less vol untary than might be supposed from the spectacular nature of the per formance
 Following the public entertainment Of the afternoon, the herd assembled last night at the Elks hall, where they were run into the enclosure set apart for all good Elks, and after various necessary ceremonies. given a pair of hard-won horns.
 The novices today tramp the streets with aii air of conscious and embarrassed dignity, the well-de- served fruit of all their public and private suffering.

GENTLEMEN TO CONDUCT RATE
 SERVICE, PLAN
From Wednesdays Daily)

Plans to investigate during this year all phases of shipping ill Ari- zona, and to secure if possible equit- able adjustments in rates, shipping service, etc, that will accord deserv- ing recognition to the cattle indus try and react to the advantage of cattlemen is the latest move of the Arizona Cattle Growers association, following close upon their recent an nual meeting in Phoenix recently, it was learned here yesterday.
 The move to adjust shipping con- ditions in such a way as to ease the burden on the cattleman IS being made, according to association of ficials, in view of the fact that rail- road questions are becoming increas- ingly important to the successful conduct of the cattle business, as they are to others. As an associa- ton, the cattle growers of Arizona have never before been able to give proper consideration to railroad mat ters such as rates, shipping service, freight bills, etc.
 Feeling it necessary for the sue cessfu1 prosecution of this movement to secure the services of men versed in the complex railroad laws, rules and rates, whose qualifications arc the result of years of direct contact with railroad service, the association has enlisted the services of the south west traffic and public utilities bu- reau of Phoenix, recently organized by two men prominent in this work, Frank A. Jones, recently retired from the chairmanship of the Arizona state corporation commission, and Charles E. Blain, an expert ill rate and transportation matters. The bu- reau will give considerable time to the cattlemen in their move into railroad inquiry.
 Through these arrangements, just concluded, any personal service need ed by individual cattlemen through out the state can be obtaiaed from the state association, upon applica- ton to the Phoenix office. Cars for shipments, delays ill movement Of cars or stock, adjustment of alleged overcharges ill freight receipts, and various other matters will be hand led by the association in connection with the Phoenix bureau.

as to Ethics on RevoIv-

With the day of doom at hand
for this seasons faithful straws and
as the mercury and alchohol in the
souvenir thermometers begin the
erratic retreat which will take them
into their kennels this winter: the
baying Of etiquette hounds resounds
over Washington, as they gird
themselves for the coming fray.
For, 10, after happy summer,
the day is fast approaching when
the entrance to every large store.
building in the city will be blocked
once more again by revolving
doors.
With that day arises the old
problem. which has shorn the con-
fidence and happy smile from the
face OF the etiquette hound and
sprinkle silver literally among the
blond and brunette thatch which
upholds his hat
Shall the man allow his fair
companion Nto proceed him through
the revolving door and pit her
strength against its stubborn i'm.
mobility? Or shall he commit the
breach of etiquette of stepping in
first and thus shoulder the burden
himself?
That's the problem Of the age in
all its raw, grim reality.
There are innumerable ramifica-
tons Of the problem, however.
Suppose the door to be peculiarly
hung and motionless and the mans

unload them on the lady so that he
can put his shoulder to the door

cause of embarrassment to the school
authorities.

board Of education at the Franklin

They were held so frequently. in

out again, that the public begun to
