sion of standpoint'. The 1927 ritual of 'Wolfpine' will be held on February 17 to the 23rd, and it'll be better, bigger and grander every way than last year's fa- mous show,' he said.

In the Legislature PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 15 (AP).- The ease with which Mulford Win- or of Yuma wields the gavel as resident of the senate, aided and bested by caustic repartee, re- mins the old-timers in the press allery of Speaker Tom Reed in the ational house of representatives come 30 years ago. A southern congressman, replete with rhetoric but short on logic, rose to a point of order, charging that he had been accused of being "lobbyist, filibusterer and law- er." Reed remarked, dryly: "We will roll the last charge." Major Kelly, state historian; Billy Spear, editor of the Arizona Republican, and Ned Creighton, ean of the active reporters, daily cupy the press galleries of the legislature. Never has a legisla- ture met without the presence of his official trio. Major Kelly in- sists he comes in only as an on- looker and that he is "through" as chronicler of current events. Mr Spear takes copious notes and ap- pears as intensely interested as he regular reporters. Ned Creigh- on daily dispenses legislative to the press of the state. Bob Caples, 69-year-old reporter, citizen of the world and, in his own words, a connecting link between the dim past and the present, is daily on the job in the press gal- ery for a Miami newspaper. Bob shows the activity of a cub re- porter and the enthusiasm of youth in his daily ramble for news. Forty- five years ago Bob was editor of a newspaper in Tucson, and he re- calls with gusto that only through revenues from saloon and gambling house advertisements was the pa- paper able to meet the Saturday payroll.

A senator had arisen several times, and in emphasizing his objections to a bill, had repeat- ed himself so often that he at- tracted the attention of every one in the chamber—a signal ac- complishment. The senator from Cochise very formally addressed the chair and asked permission to address a question to his colleague who had the floor at the moment. "Is the senator starting a new speech or he started?" Sutter asked with his best seriousness. VACANT HOUSE IS DAMAGED IN FIRE A small fire in a vacant house called the fire department to the corner of Church and Franklin street early yesterday morning, and the blaze was extinguished before any serious damage re- sulted. Yesterday afternoon the depart- ment answered an alarm turned in from North Main street, only to find out that it was a false alarm, thought to have been turned in by boys playing in the neighborhood. Police officers were unable to check exactly who was
