City Plans As New
Street Lights With
Lower Power Rates

Winslow should have approx
mately forty-five new street lights
within short time, according to
an agreement made some months
ago by the city council and the
Arizona Electric Power Company.
According to the terms of tho
agreement, the city planned to put
in. the lights as soon. as the rate
on current for each light had been
reduced from its old price Of $4.00
per month per light to $500.
News of the approval of the $500
rate by the Corporation Commits
sion was made public yesterday.
There are at present 95 street
lights in commission in the city of
Winslow. The agreement, entered
into in June, calls for 140 street
lights, but as far as Ould be
learned last night, no stipulation
was made as to the exact time
when the new lights would be put
in use.
The new contract is to run for
two years, and its provisions mean
that many parts of WinsloW that
have been dark will receive street
light service.
1t is expected that the approval
of the new rate will cause con-
struction on the new lights to
start Immediately.

ADVANCE PUTS
ALL ISSUES AT
RECORD PEAKS

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S (AP) - A
spectacular buying movement,
which rivaled in breadth and vol
ume some of the greatest bull
markets in stock exchange his
tory, was set in motion this week
by the proposal of the United
States Steel Corporation to reward
it's stockholders with a 40 per cent
stock dividend, worth more than
$20O,000,000.
At the close of the week, after
a readjustment from the first sem
sational advance, the average price
of selected industrial stocks was
at the highest level ever recorded
and the railroad averages reached
q market unequalled since 1913.
The two outstanding individual
performances of the week were
given by United States Steel and
Atchison railway. The former es-
tablished a new record price of
160 1-2 on a turnover which eX-
eeeded 100000 shares the day fol-
lowing the announcement Of the
corporations "melon cutting"
Atchison, which is expected to
make a similar distribution to
stockholders next year, scared
more than 10 points during the
week to the best price in its his
tory at 169 7-8 Stocks of many
other large corporations in a posi-
tion to make more liberal dis
bursementS were bouyant. A
Foreign exchange trading was
featured by a rise in the French
franc to the years peak price
above four cents on reports that
stabilization measures would be
taken next year with the aid of an
American loan.
Commodity markets were unus
ually quiet. Wheat futures flucG-
uated within one-cent range, and
cotton scored a moderate recOv-
cry.

CHICAGO, Dec. 18 (AP)-Wheat
prices frightened up today owing
more or less to buying to make
accounts even for the United States
government crop report expected
on Monday. Closing quotations on
wheat were firm, half cent to one
cent net higher, with corn at quar-
ter cent decline to quarter cent
advance, oats 3-S to- 3-4 cents up,
and provisions varying from 10
cent setback to arise of five cents.
Active purchasing on the part
of previous sellers became a feat
ure toward the last in all the
grain pits today, but especially so
in wheat.
Aside from a desire to be pre-
pared for any surprise in the gov
ernment report, buying of wheat
was promoted through a forecast
that world shipments for the week
! would turn out to be much smaller
than of late. An advance in ocean
freight rates from Argentine
counted as a bullish factor as ap-
pearing likely to impede liberal
Shipments out OF that country to
Europe.
Assertions were also current
that wheat bought now in Argen-
tina would not reach Europe until
the beginning of March and thai
in the meantime European supplies
would mostly have to be obtained
from North America. Scantiness
of primary domestic receipts, how
ever, continued, the total this week
including today being only 1886
600 bushels as against S,502,00C
0ushels a year ago. Export busl-
ness in North America wheat to-
day was estimated at 100000
bushels, chiefly Canadian.
Corn and oats sympathized with
wheat strength. Country offer
ings of corn were not large, al
though the movement of new corn
is increasing.
Miscellaneous selling weakened
the provision market despite firm
ness in hog values.

Bacon's High Praise
of Biblical Writer

Sir Francis Bacon, one of the
worlds greatest thinkers, had great
admiration for the Book of Job.
'aThat excellent book of Job" he
called it. And then he suggested that,
If it be carefully studied, it will be
found to contain a wonderful knowl-
edge of natural philosophy. writes
Bruno Lessing.
The reference to the minerals in
the earth, Bacon thought, proved
that Job was a great mineralogist.
There is really something plausible
In this thought. OF course Job could
have known nothing of the present
theory of geology, namely, that the
earth was built up by one layer piling
upon another layer. But his familiar
ity with minerals and metals and his
reference to wheat crops and his belief
that there was heat underneath the
earth's crust, fit in so well with what
we know today that it must be admit
ted Job at the very least was a clear
thinking man.

Joy Registered When
Lost Goose Returned

Tie flock bore eastward high over
the Columbia-save for single bird
that must have passed above the gun
ner ere he fred. This goose drove to
the west above and along the river,
and at every wing stroke the distance
between bird and flock widened.
They faded from sight. The call Of
the lost goose, the voice of the flock,
merged gradually into silence, shad-
ing away until one heard only the
ceaseless whisper of the current.
Presently, far to the west, the call
came family forth again and grew in
volume. The lost goose was de-
scrfbed as a frantic hurrying speck,
tacking hither and thither. His cry
was rapidly repeated, which is not the
habit of Canadas, and beyond all mis-
understanding 1t was not only plain
tive but perturbed.
At a quarter mile In the air he
drove past, seeking far to eastward,
only to retrace his course, constantly
calling, and TO retrace 1t time and
again.
He heard them a full minute before
we did, for on the instant his cry was
Joyous and confident and his flight TO
the east took determined and reso-
lutte direction.
And then, distant as dream, faint
and far, we caught the bugies Of the
returning flock. Were they, too,
searchlng9 But surely there was
elation In their quickened clamor
when the lost one literally hurled him
self among them, and took his rightfm
place. They rose TO the flight lane.

The Grande Soufriere, of which the

ing lake, in the West Indian island of

the islanders who are constantly re-
minded of its presence, says Nature
Magazine. Clouds of steam indicate
where it lies In the mountains, and to
Roseau, the islands port, the deto-
nations from its steam vents proclaim
it's close proximity. 1t is only six
miles from the town as the crow flies,
but until an air route is established,
man must foot It over a difficult and
even dangerous mountain trail.

After a minute the P. NJ said, yep.

David i. Marshall, Philadelphia,
convicted Of second degree murder for
the killing Of Anna May Dietrich, was
Friday refused a new trial and SEN
fenced to 10 to 20 years in the East
ern Penitentiary. Sentence was inn
posed by Judge Harry S. McDevitt af-
ter listening to argument by Abraham
Wernick, Marshall's attorney, for re
hearing Of the case. The judge ex-
pressed regret that the Ludlow act,
covering the case, tied his hands and
prevented him from imposing a SEN
tence commensurate with the crime
The judge declared he believed Mar
shall's story on which he received a
second degree verdict, was "a colossal
fabrication" Marshall, who dismem-
bered the body of the woman and hid
the several parts in the woods near
Philadelphia, took the sentence calm
ly. Counsel announced he would take
an appeal to the State Supreme Court.

beds in the Delaware Bay about Ship
John Light was finished Friday by
