TRAFFIC RULES TO
 BE OBSERVED, NOT
 BROKEN, CITY LAW

Prescott motorists are beginning to break in the new paving laid on Cor tez street from the depot to the fire hall. Automobiles are taking to the smooth surface like a duck to water and so far everything is smooth with the exception that occasionally some automobilist fails to observe the traf- fic regulations.
 The authorities yesterday called at tention to the presence of large but tons" i'll the center of the street crossing at Willis and Cortez and elsewhere and stated that those but tons were placed there for purpose. They are to be driven around. Motor ists are required to keep to the right in making turns and to swing around the buttons instead of cutting across in front of them to the detriment of the traffic regulations and the en- dangering of pedestrians.
 Another thing to be observed by those travelling the city streets in is the tine-honored GUS tom of thrusting out the right or left hand when making a right or left turn, in order to warn drivers be- hind. This custom lately has been more honored in the breach than in the observance, the authorities said, and indicated that more strict ob- scrvancc of this and other traffic regulations on the part of the motor ing public would be eminently ac- ceptable, and might work little econ- omies i'll the matter of fines and the like.

Three long tourist trains stood in the yards at Seligman, the sun ardently warming their low roofs by day. In and about them sat, stood and strolled 500 strike-bound westward-ho tourists. Through the array at times passed men and women of the town, attending to wants and discovering new ones. It was a fairly comfortable and perfectly safe half thousand.
 Ruth Buckley, a dietician at Fort Whipple until last week, was among this desert isle crowd. In fact she was one of the pioneers among the marooned, having arrived at the northern Yavapai town Thursday night when the train in which she was proceeding to Walla Walla, Wash, to report as dietician of big veterans hospital, was run 30 miles beyond the town and then backed in and abandoned by its crew. Miss Buckley returned to Prescott by automobile yesterday and went to the home of the Walter Hills on Park avenue, to recuperate from a strenuous four days.
 It was just before she gave her self over to rest yesterday after noon that Miss Buckley supplied the Journal-Miner with a complete account of conditions at Seligman.
 SOME BABIES!
 The dietician had never seen one train with so many babies. And the other trains were about as bad -or good. Most of the stranded were eastern people, tourists, bur dened with bundles and offspring, unused to the admiring glances of the Arizona sun, and inclined to be rather terror-stricken at the mere thought of being halted on the desert" But the fury of the sun was highly overrated, and while there was a little sickness at the Pullman camp, a doctor was on hand and took care of every case.

 The republicans, he at first thought had done wonders to reduce the states taxes from g to 51 cents this year. But on second thought, he had found the republicans should get TIC credit for this. On the contrary, they has reduced 'em because they simply could not hold them up any higher The reasons for the reduction were;
 l. There had been no appropriation this year for the NEXT legislative expenses;
 2. The inactive funds, created by democratic lawmakers, had been res cued from a state of hamilton by that gallant democrat, Senator Elliott Gone of the men named to convert Cover nor CampbelPs call for a financial code into a bilD and
 3. The special session of the legislature had cut Cat Governor Campbelrs calD half a million from the appropriations the very same legislature had passed in regular scs- sion

 Mir. Ward asked each housewife present if she wasn't saving every dollar she could. He then addressed the same question to every business man present Well, those dollars were being saved to pay the taxes that in many cases amounted to more than they had paid for rent on their homes a few years back.
 But if elected, Mir Ward said, he would sit right on the lid at Phoenix. No more would the (dcmocratic) commissioners and state officers roam and joy-ride. Governor Campbell, Mr. Ward said, travelled because he was called here and there on neccs- sary state business. That travel, Mir. Ward generously added, was neccs- sary and good.
 The candidate closed his address in just an hour, and his audience was still unwearied when he brought forth short, sharp applause with a glowing tribute to ex-President Wilson, who, AS said, had been driven from office by the people, who had been deceived by the false attacks of the rcpubli- cans.
 Each allusion to the name of Wilson was applaudcd and Mir. Ward him self was intently followed and gener-  ously applauded by tte crowd, which remained after the picture show and numbered about 500.

CANYON
 IS S0ME ROAD
 SAY TRAVELLERS

The finished stretches of the new highway on the Black Canyon road continue daily to bring forth com mendation for the work of the Yava- pal county highway commission. Stretches of the new highway extend from a point about four miles out of Humboldt to the entrance of Mayer, with a short unfinished section over Big Bug wash, held up for the need of the bridge, but easily passable, and from Mayer down to Cordes. Work is forging ahead from Cordes, where the bridge is now ready for travel
 It appears to be the concensus of opinion of auto travellers that the completed sections of the highway are superior to even a paved road. The blue granite capping plus the ex- cellent road foundation make an ideal combination in that country.
 Work is also progressing rapidly with the building of the bridge across Lynx creek, the crews staying with the job for periods of "A hours. Ac- cording to Chairman K. E. Moore and Engineer Joe McCarty, the new bridge, which IS built not only for service, but with an eye to beauty, will be ready for travel within 30 days.
 Work out from Prescott is going ahead, not quit as fast as is desired by the highway commission, but it is estimated that within two to three weeks, the detour directly out of Prescott will be closed and the new road opened for travel.
 The new pieces of road on the Black canyon are excellent" remark ed Francis s. Viele, president of the Arizona Power company. Just as smooth as running on a level floor"
 County Agent Pickrell who return ed yesterday from trip to the Black Canyon country added his praise for the road, stating that if the balance of the road is constructed to equal the new pieces, it will certainly be a wonder'
 Likewise Secretary Grace Sparkes of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce who voiced her commen- dation of the new work. Equals a paved road and makes you anxious for the time when the entire county system will be finished with the same excellent kind of roads"
 Mir and Mrs. Blair Townsend of Phoenix, who have become chronic boosters for Arizona's northland, re turned to Prescott to summer among the pines, remarked on the general excellence of the finished work on the Black canyon.
 Townsend, who is a well known practicing attorney of the Salt River valley, stated that in his opinion Maricopa county should improve its road leading to Canon, regardless of the other route. "We should not overlook the fact that the Salt River valley is large enough to take care of its highways leading to other counties and while we are glad in the valley that the paved road is go- ing to Marinette and that Yavapai is going to build the Hassayampa road, there is still no excuse for Maricopa not lining up a good travelable road to Canon

Most cogent arguments were given for the proposal to permit farmers to form combinations to buy up their produce, warehouse it and feed it out to the consumers as it is needed, instead of accept ing starvation prices when the market is glutted, and having it dealt back by the eastern money powers at high prices when the market is drained

FREIGHT RATES

Per Cent Increase in Sugar
Charges Since 1914.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Freight rates
on fo0d products and other commodities
must be reduced before the cost Of living
can be lowered much below the present
level. according to J. w. lierscher, presl-
dent of the National Wholesale GrOcerS
association of the United States, speaking
before the 34th annual convention OF the
New York Wholesale Grocers' association.
lie cited the freight rates on sugar as
an instance OF the increase IN transporta-
ton charges. He compared the present
rates with those in 1914. He said:
Il simply wish to cite to you the fact
that the cost to ship sugar IN 1914 from
New York to points on the Ohio river was
1917 cents. while ut the present time the
rate is 30 cents, or Il POO per cent in

load lots from the rehner to the whole

MIR. TIerscher pointed out that nine
tenths of the food products, exclusive cf
meat. shipped by rail is transported IN

takes higher rate. The primary pro-
