Tokyo. This move was made over a
thousand years ago, SO most Of the
bitter feeling has died down quite con-
siderable. Aside from that, things
seem to be moving along here about
the same and the population is very
similar to other cities we have visited.
Most of those you see about the place
favor the Japanese cast of character.
But sagging back to Kobe, and on
account of the weather, remaining un-
de-boated for couple days to re-
cuperate our energy, we rickashaed
out into the Intervals of Kobe. Ger
tainly they have Buddha and Shinto
temples here. And just to show our
reverance we let our rickasha-burro
compile us along into the front end
of one, and, Doc Mart, you probably
won't believe it, but out in the pa
CODA or open space along side the
temple, there was a bunch of Boy
Scouts all messed up in uniforms and
doing some of the stunts Boy Scouts
do.
Kobe is d clean-looking place with
wider main streets than the Other
places visited, though, of course, the

Out in the harbor | counted some
80 big boats Most of them looked
like freighters. As a seaport, Kobe
has Yokohama cheated several boats,
so | understand. Signs around the
city, which is basted into a flat area
at the foot Of the mountains, would in
dicate that there were lot of
English speaking people here.
1t is reported that there are 100000
people here. l suppose the 5000 are
mainly parents or people over four
feet high and ten years Of age. You
know a fish is said to lay about 10000
eggs at one settage, or whatever fish
age expression fits the layage of a
fish. 1t may be possible that | am
wrong about the "layage" of the fish
and the hatcherization thereof, but /
presume that nature works about the
same here as in other nations. | only
mention the fish because they seem
to be the only real competitors of the
Japanese race.

HIGHER PEDDLERS' LICENSE
AND BOND PLAN NOW

Flagstaff business men at city
council meeting Tuesday night re-
quested higher peddlers' license fees.
The present rate is $3.50 day. There
were many suggestions made by the
business men, one affirming that the
rate should be $3.50 a day.
1t is likely that council will decide
on double solution of the problem,
one part to be the imposition Of a
quarterly license rate, the peddler or
canvasser to pay the full quarter in
advance however brief his visit here,
and also give bond, likely of $3.50 or
more, to cover the reliability of his
goods and the carrying out of his
promises to customers.

several times discussed the death he

It was DR.. Crump who placed the

made have proven conditions to be

Flagstaff, Nogales, Phoenix, Hol-

which indicates how widespread the
trouble is.
DIR. Crump says the spread seems
to have begun at Parker, with the dis
tribution from there of bulls to var
ious ranges throughout the state.
Whether there is scab among the
Indian reservation cattle is not GER
tain, though it is reported that one
bull has been seen that has it.
DR.. Crump asks that cattleman CO.
operate right now and to the fullest
extent in concerted action with the
state and government veterinarians in

been aggravated in the drought

BELIEVE FIRE INSURANCE
RATES WILL BE REDUCED

Modification of the plans for ex-
tending and enlarging the water dis
tribution system has been made in line
with suggestions by the fire insur-
ance underwriters. 1t is felt by MEM
bers of city council that when the new
distribution system is in place, with
six, eight and ten-inch mains accessi-
BILE to every part of town and replac-
ing lines that in many cases now are
as small as two inch, and in some
cases smaller than that, Flagstaff not
only will have all the water necessary
to fight fire in any part Of town, but
there will be considerable reduction
in insurance rates.
Much of the pipe that will be used
to replace present distribution lines
will be salvaged from the present
springs to reservoir pipe line.

Kobe, Japan, January 21

Kobe, Japan, January Il
Just begin to realize that the first
time around the world is darned sight
the hardest. When it isn't taking a
hack at your system, it is hanging an
anchor on your eyes. It's so difficult
to know everything and when a boob
tries to absorb it all at once you can
imagine what variety of nut he is.
We merely mention this on account OF
the haphazard way things occur to
you while mussing around this way
Well, we skated out of Yokohama
Sunday morning without even leaving
an echo of whistle behind. We
steamed out without getting stuck IN
the mud and moped along easily all
day, in which we got another last
glimpse of Fujiyma-Fuji is the
largest high lump in Japan and it was
covered with a nice fine kimono of
snow all the time we hesitated around
in them environs. 1t is 1887 feet
and few inches high up and built
like cone with the top slashed off in
nice clean-cut way. This mountain
is used as temple or shrine and is
worshiped quite considerable. In fact
it is a quasi-sacred affair, according
to local report.
You wouldn't think it necessary to
regard the old pile that way when
there are so many other Buddhas
scattered about to take a shot at
when your conscience troubles you.
The crown prince, now regent, climbed
F'uji in 1923, so it is possible that
they will eventually cap the cone with
real large Bud sometime later, when
the taxes are collected in more fer
vent quantities. Really, am rather
forced to the conclusion that they
have our income tax and other tax
systems skinned several hectometers
including sideways, straight ahead
and zig-zag.
For instance, if a horse or bull
tender leads his animal he don't have
to pay an extra tax to the government,
but if the sucker gets up on the We
hicle and rides, thus taking the power
off his feet, he must pay tax.
don't know how much, but holy smoke!
Amt it a new idea for collecting
taxes? Hope our revenue hunting
