If the velvet from an c’d. I hat be steamed and used, one can af ford to be a little more extryvag. >t in buying a veil, a dazzling-variety of | them being on the market at the pres- j I ent time.

Veils are used not only for wear as a practical article, but also for the decoration of the hat. The postilion and Amazon types of bats- are particu larly adapted to the wearing of the flowing veil, both in the short and m the long draped effects, and circular veiis are adapted to the sailors. A new idea is the use of a six-inch velvet ribbon border attached to a white , mesh veil. Allover scrolls and single motifs ! continue in vogue The beauty of many smart styles is enhanced by the ! use of chenille or velvet spots. An- j other new idea is th£ use of a fur i border outlined with a delicate thread of metal. Chiffon veils are worn with small turbans, being attached In the j back so as to fall m long, graceful j j folds. The New Coats.

AHKEH POST, j From t„e Ten minutes before Walter Kermeen was to have died on the gallows it. the state penitentiary for the murder of J. P. Harrell, word was received | from Phoenix, by long distance telephone, that the board of pardons had ~ccommended a reprieve to March 10 in order to give time for further in quiry into the mental condition of the prisoner. Powerful influences were brought to bear upon the board in behalf of Kermeen. Among many other prominent persons the governor and lieuten ant governor of Nevada wired the board that Kermeen came of a good family in that state and had always been regarded as not quite right men- I tally. Kermeeu had been facing death calmly but when news came that a re prieve had been granted he expressed great relief. A jury in the Pinal county superior court once found Kermeen sane but R. B. Sims, warden of the prison, is convinced that he is unbalanced and the members of the board of pardons took the view that there was reason to doubt his sanity. William Faltfh, who was under sentence to hang January 7 for the mur der of Carl Peterson but was found insane in the Pinal court, is still at the penitentiary. The plan is to have him taken to the asylum for the insane and then to take steps to have him confined in the penitentiary for safe keeping. Attorney General Wiley Jones says that under the law this can not be done. Frank P. Trott, citizen member of the board of pardons, is to succeed Frank S. Ingalls, republican, as United States surveyor general for Arizona. Mis appointment is scheduled to be sent to the senate January 22. Attorney | General Jones and School Superintendent C. O. Case, the other members ! of the pardon board, will select his successor on that body. Indications now are that the strike in the Clifton-Morenci district is ' nearing its end. The miners have come to a realization that there is no prospect of a resumption of industrial peace and prosperity as long as the Western Federation of Miners has any influence in the district. At a mass meeting in Clifton Monday night they voted to surrender the W. F. M. charters held by the Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf locals. When this ii | done the way will be open for conferences with the mine managers, j Another week may see the termination of the troubles which has closed | down the mines and works of the Arizona, Detroit and Shannon Copper com panies since September 12. Strike leaders stated at the Clifton meeting that the Western Federation ' had not kept the elaborate promises of (financial support made by its organ izers before the strike was called. Support received from other sources enabled the strikers to continue the struggle four months. Last week a conference was practically arranged between the managers and a representative committee of the strikers when the executive com mittee of the unions wired that the federation charters could not be sur rendered till a definite agreement had been reached. The managers stood by their determination not to confer till the federation had been eliminated j from the district. L. A. Simmons, an employe of the Arizona company, was beaten up in Clifton Sunday night but there has been no other recent violence. A 1 parade was held in Clifton Sunday afternoon. The employes who have been performing assessment work on the mpatented claims of the Detroit company at Morend have completed their I work and withdrawn to the refugee camp at Duncan. A report, just issued by Tom Shaughnessy, secretary of the state fair i 'oromission, shows that the disbursements of the commission*for all pur- I poses in 1915 were $70,556. In 1914 the commission disbursed $93,793 and ! est a deficit of $26,000, S6OOO of which had been brought over from the ! previous year. This deficit has been reduced to $2500 and will be wiped | mt in a few weeks. The commission is to meet January 16 to confer with the new directors | >f the Phoenix chamber of commerce in regard to plans for the 1916 fair, j One of the plans of the chamber is for a rose carnival during the entire veek of the big fair. Insurance companies paid $57,789.22 into the insurance department of lie corporation commission during 1915. The expenses were $4,749.97, leaving a net profit of $53,048.25. Superintendent C. C. Thompson reports ! that t,wenty-eiglit life Insurance companies, seventy-two fire insurance com : panies and twenty-six accident Insurance companies are licensed to do nisiness in Arizona. The corporation commission has taken another step toward making Arizona’s “blues sky” law more rigid. Hereafter new companies will be i granted permits'' to sell stock only on condition that shares issued for pro motion of property be pooled and not sold till the treasury stock authorized by the permit has been disposed of, and the proceeds paid into the treasury. Complaints reached the commission that the financially responsible organ ; izers of several companies have sold their own shares as soon as permits ! o sell treasury stock had been secured. < Friends of George A. Olney, former chairman of the democratic state ! :entr*l committee and a recognized leader of the conservative wing of the party, say that he has decided to enter the race for the nomination for governor. Mr. Olney formerly lived in Graham county but now resides in Phoenix. Several political announcements have been made recently. Treasurer Mitt Simms and Secretary of State Sidney P. Osborn have declared them selves in the race for secretary. Mine Inspector G. H. Bolin admits that he hopes to be re-elected. Sheep will be assessed at $3.50 a head in all the counties of Arizona (his year. This was agreed upon as an equitable valuation by the annual : convention of the Arizona Assessors’ association, held in Phoenix. Last year I sheep were assessed at $4 a head in all the counties except Maricopa, I Graham, Yuma and Pima, where the valuation was $3.50. The assessors recommended no other important changes in last year’s minimum valua tions. Their recommendations have been adopted by the state tax com mission. All the officers of the association were re-elected. They are: Presi dent, George E. Truman, Pinal county; vice president, E. A. Hughes, Cochise; secretary, C. E. Gentry, Yavapai; assistant secretary and treasurer, L. E. Smith, Pima. Patents to 181,764 acres of land in various parts of the state have been received at the Arizona land office from Washington. This is land on which Navajo and Moqui base scrip has been filed. The patents are issued to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company, original holder of the scrip. The railroad company is now to deed the land to agents who sold the scrip and they, in turn, will deed it to the scriD Durchasers. — -r > *** Hi** iu tu uio ouiip piuV/Uaacia. Parker Commercial Co.
