WIDER MARKET.
STREET CITY'S
PLAN AT ONCE
Officials interviewing Prop
erty Owners On Mar
row Section.
WOULD CUT In as FEET
Building Fronts Would Be
Moved Back e Feet
On Each Side.

Market street may be widened at
once. according to Street Commission
er Paul f. Steffler. who stated Tues
day morning that property owners are
being interviewed in an effort TO adj
just prices regarding the expense of
moving stores and sidewalks % feet
on each side, on the block between
Main plaza and st. Mary's street. NJ
Steffler said that the widening of
Market street is one of the most i'm
portant measures recently contemplate
ed by the city commission, as traffic
congestion on Commerce street will be
greatly relieved by the widening Of
this section.
Funds that must be raised to insure
the proper carrying out of Mr.. Stef-
fler's plans may be partly available
in the city's street widening and i'm
provement fund. Mr.. Steffier said.
However, Mr.. Steffler can make no
announcement regarding this phase of
the project until bids from contractors
have been received. thus determining
some idea of the cost.
Danger Of Accidents.
Mr.. Steffler stated that traffic con-
gestion on Commerce street parallel
with the point that will be widened
is throwing a large amount of traffic
into Market street. where the narrow
ness of the street makes it impossible
for more than an ordinary number of
cars to pass. This condition must not
be allowed to remain without correc-
ton. Mr.. Steffler stated. as there is
danger of accidents and the traffic in
general is materially delayed.
Some property owners on Market
street in this section have been inter
viewed by Mr.. Steffler and by Mayor
Tobin since Monday afternoon but the
majority have not been reached and
so far no terms have been made ex-
cept with two or three. However. Mr..
Steffler hopes TO adjust expense items
relative to the moving of property as
sets with the Market street merchants
within the next few DAYS. q
Regarding the changing OF the tAvel
route over the G., II. & S. A. rail-
road crossing on Sherman street, Mr..
Steffler stated that the city will bear
no expense in helping to make this
change through the approval of the
city council. The G.. II. & 8. A. will
make the crossing on its own initia-
tive.

ARIZONA PLAN-TRADE AT
HOME SPREADS ABROAD

We have just heard of new stunt
being tried out by the people OF cities
and towns of Arizona. There the.
newspapers, preachers and teachers,
in fact most everyone who has occas-
ion to talk to the public is pleading
with Arizona people to buy goods
manufactured or produce grown IN
Arizona in preference to things made
and grown in other states. Not that
they want to be selfish. No. They
only want to be prosperous. Those
backing the movement contend that if
every state would do this it would be
worth great deal to the entire coun-
try, because people would not only
buy just as much but would save on
many articles that are made or grown
at home yet which cost more when
shipped in from a distance.
Not only that, but they argue that
it would tend to keep the people of
the state more generally employed. Of
course they would always have a sur
plus even when using and consuming
their own products. This would bring
added revenue into the state. In the
matter of travel and recreation, they
are urged to spend their vacation
money anywhere they see fit, but told
to be sure and see all there is to see
in Arizona.
We believe it is good plan, and
feel sure that people who think it
over will agree that if every state
adopted it it would work to the adj
vantage of all. 1t would mean the
development of lot of advantages
which are now overlooked, but which
folks in other states are taking adj
vantage of. 1t would encourage fac
tories in states that have lot of
factories to move to states where
greater measure of cooperation and
certain market exists. In fact, there
is no end to the possibilities of this
new statewide buy-at-home plan, no
end to the benefits when it is faith
fully carried out by the people.-Ohio

GAME WARDEN WANTS
20O,O 900 TROUT FOR HATCHERY

An order for 100000 rainbow trout
eggs was placed by G. M. Willard,
state game warden, for shipment to
the state fish hatchery at Springer
vile. The eggs are being obtained
from. Pennsylvania and should reach
the hatchery during the latter part Of
March, Mr.. Willard said.
The federal government has prom
ised an additional 100000 eggs, Mr..
Willard said, which will make a total
of 100000 eggs, or the full capacity
of the hatchery near Springerville.
The additional eggs will be obtained,
if possible, Mr.. Willard stated.
1t is the plan of the game depart
ment, he said, to plant the young
trout after they have been Matched
in all Of the accessible trout streams
in the state. The rainbow trout were
selected, he said because they adapt
themselves to the waters of
the streams in this state better
than other kinds of trout. They
can live in warmer water, he said,
which is another thing in their favor
in Arizona.
The hatchery of Springerville was
completed last fall just prior to the
time winter began and the eggs to
be Matched this spring will be the first
time the hatchery has been used since
its completion.

This was the message brought by
directors of the Arizona Industrial
Congress who returned Monday night
from get-acquainted trip which COW
cred Pinal, Pima, Cochise and Santa

the organization, with those from
other parts of the state who made the
trip, were enthusiastic with the inter-
est displayed in the work of the con-
gress, and with the possibilities of
the communities visited.
The trip was a real source of in
formation to many of the members
of the party of twenty, as it brought
them in contact with hundreds of
citizens and gave them first-hand in
sight into the problems of each sect
ion.
The directors party left here last
Friday, visiting Casa Grande and
spending the night in Tucson. Next
morning took them to Douglas, with
stops at Benson and st. David, and

of inspiration for the work of the org
anization, and Southern Arizona's
pledge of cooperation in the cause of

WARNING FOR GIRLS WHO
WANT TO GO TO HONOLULU

Mrs. Katherine Moore who at one
time was society editor of the Ari-
zona Republican, writes to that paper
from Honolulu to say that hundreds
of girls attracted to Hawaii in the
belief that golden opportunities exist
there have become stranded because
of unemployment.
The influx of girls, attracted to the
islands by exaggerated description. of
opportunities, has become SO great
that authorities and civic organiza
tions in Honolulu are undertaking a
campaign to warn those without
means to stay away. The unempioy-
ment situation, Mrs. Moore's letter
says, is growing into a menace"
Every incoming boat brings more
women and girls who have been advis-
ed that jobs await all who come, and
who are attracted by the matrimonial
possibilities of the report that there
are 15 men to every woman in Homo
lulu.
''To the plain, unattractive girl who
has never tasted popularity at home,
this sounds as though Honolulu is a
paradise for the unmarried girl, that
all she must do is to come over, work
a short while and marry sugar
planter" the letter continues. "Plen-
ty of men remain on the mainland and
sugar planters are scarce, SO why
leave homer"
This information should deter any
young ladies going to Hawaii expect
ing to engage in any clerical work or
teaching without first making sure Of
a position which will be awaiting them
on arrival.
