What we are about to impart to those who wish
10 preserve secrets is really 1t has been
Known to statesmen and prominent politicians for
long time. 1t is: In certain circumstances when you
want to keep secret you need help.
There is only one perfect secret and that is in
formation locked in the breast of person. When
tvo know it. it has become somewhat impaired as
secret AS number of participants in it increase
the secret deteriorates in something than
gsometrical ratio.
Now actually there is such thing helping
10 keep secret but there people who. if
let into it, would be bound to keep it as to them
sSves would be estopped from trying to find it
out through independent and unrestricted sources
Those people are newspaper people
In the present session OF the legislature four
eSutve sessions have been held; the galleries we're
cleared and the press excluded. The members of
the press knew in advance that these sessions
to- be held and knew what matters were to be
discussion. Before the end of the day they knew
what had taken place at these sessions, what was
said who said it and what was decided upon.
They were under no obligations to withhold the
information which came to them in this way, but
they respected the wishes of the senate
in executive session and gave to the public nothing
more of the proceedings than already floating
through the air to be seized by ALL
The Gridircn Club at Washington is an associa-
ton of newspapermen for fun 1t has frequent ban
quets TO which eminent citizens in all parts OF the
country seek invitation. The guests presidents
members Of the cabinet diplomats, army and navy
officers. leading congressman, and gentlemen who
distinguished themselves in art letters finance
commerce and industry.
Amusing accounts of the festivities are published
but the most interesting incidents not published
Statesmen speak there with the utmost freedom of
things which are not yet for the world to know
Many speech is made there for which newspapers
never word is printed. do the members of
the club their guests discuss these things after
the banquet is over.
Newspaper people come into possession OF all
sorts of secrets which they preserve Difference to
the wishes Of the persons involved Generally these
secrets not confded to them for the of the
people have not learned to protect themselves by
bestowng confidence in those who best prepared
to give or withhold publicity.
The reporter comes upon these things guided by
he cannot suppress it in justice to his newspaper.
But the average newspaperman, when able to do
would always prefer withhold story which carries
with it grief, humiliation or misfortune
Newspaper reporters the best secret keepers
there are. The Sphinx was garruous creature in
comparison with a reporter in relation any matter
which is impaired to him in confidence.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April IL
For 10 months past a small power
plant within the enclosure of the
Washington barracks in this city has
been operated by burning water in
connection with oil. Water. looked
upon as the other extreme from fire.
and the great factor in putting out
fires, is actually being burned under
a boiler to produce heat.
Scientists until very lately have de-
clared this to be impossible. How
ever. there is a patent record in the
archives in this city showing that
Mrs. Francis DowdaIl Shaw secured
a patent for certain kind of burner
in 1915, in which oil Of practically
any kind is combined with common
ordinary water and an intensely hot
flame produced at a low cost.
Mrs. Shaw. who is personally in
charge of the power plant at the
Washington barracks under contract
with the government. has tried out
her invention in many ways. and says
her records show saving of more
than so per cent over supplying pow
er from burning coal, and q so per
cent saving over using fuel oil in the
usual way.
To secure the heat desired at the
barracks plant about three parts of
oil are used to one part of water.
Ridiculous as it may sound. if more
water were used the flame would

Costly Destruction

The Republican few days ago deplored the
needless destruction Of palm trees by property
in the northern part of the city and declared that the
removal of palm depreciates the value Of property.
Concrete proof of that is offered by Senator Hedrick
Of Tucson who says that the time of the regular
session of the legislature year ago. he contemplated
the purchase of small house and lot in Phoenix
where he could reside short time during the
months.
real estate agent took him to lot North
Third which offered for $500 Mr..
Hedrick found that six large palms had just been
cut down and still lay the ground. He offered
$4,000 for the property and told the agent that if
the palms standing he would give the amount
asked for, thus placing valuation Of $500 each on
the palms.
The other day he walked by the same property
and the same palms still lying the ground,
real offense to the eye whereas if standing they
would be a valuable decoration. SO he wondered
why the owner had cut them down.
IN the opinion OF Mr.. Hedrck royal palm is
worth $500 to who cares for the appear
ance Of the surroundings Of his home.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL l2. 1872.
The Meeting Of th. Pionsers

Again The Republican has been pleasantly
prsed even amazed as it was year ago. at the out
pouring of the pioneers who have come to Phoenix
from almost every community its guests at this
the second reunion Of the pioneers.
1t is with qualification that we observe that the
last year has dealt gently with these women and
men and that the Reaper has made so few nroads
into their ranks Though many of them are far
advanced in years they of that sturdy stock of
which pioneers and advance guards made and
they are tenacious of existence they of the
foothoid which they had gained in what seemed
forbidden land but whose future loveness and wealth
they then beheld and made it worth fighting for
Many.of them and trust that most of them for
years may participate in the annual reunion which
has now become an Arizona institution.
The Republican is grateful to them for their
presence and for the cooperation which their enhu
xiasn has given. 1t wishes that It might always
be assured Of this annual meeting with them and
their worthy sons and daughters in whom the old
pioneer spirit lives and viii be handed down.

A resident of Arizona for ~ years.
Mrs. Effie Price of Miami. Arizona, is
living witness OF the remarkable
growth and development Of Arizona
and of Phoenix since she arrived in
this city and camped away out in
the country at Five Points" Mrs.
Price writes interestingly of the early
days in Arizona as follows:

I'VE crossed the Colorado % miles
below Yuma on ferry boat. We
stayed ia years in California. then re-
turned by Yuma over the desert with
horse teams. in 1880.
when We arrived al Maricopa that
was the end OF the Western division
of the railroad; the road was graded
to Casa Grande. We had started to
the new camp at Tombstone. but so
many told us that il was not a good
place to take our family, SO we turned
toward Phoenix and camped away out
of town at Five Points. We left in

There was hardly any road to speak
Of: wogan had not been over the
mountain since the August before.
When We started down in Tonic
basin. the mountain was so steep it
was necessary to cut cedar trees, and
tie them top end foremost to the back
end of our wagon to keep the wagon
from running over the horses.
I'VE arrived in Globe March 1S,
1880, and camped just back of the
present court house site. My husband,
Nathan Fl. Price, ran fast freight to
Casa Grande by way of FL Captain

In the course of six months we
took the John Kennedy cattle on
shares and moved to Mineral creek,
is miles over the Pinal mountains
and miles east Of the camp OF Ray.
We lived there three years During
that time the Indians left the reser-
walton many times on the war path.

ranchers and we run into Globe three

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend Is to Preserve Tooth
and Make It Look as Much Like
Original as Possible.

Gold teeth are going out OF style,
according To practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend Is to pre-.
serve the tooth 10 make it look as
near ms possible Hike il was originally.
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor mus be pulled out
The idea of pulling teeth is some
thing comparatively new in American
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth mt all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
uuhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also Is not as popu-
| lar as ii once was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass of gold in be-
tween. II the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with II.
Now dentists recommend a plate of
false teeth instead Of the bridge.
These being removable, are easily
kept clean The dental science is now
spending It's energies more on serv-
iceable plates rather than on bridges
or crowns--New York Sun.
