Colin Cameron has contracted with Charles F. Hoff of Tucson to build d telephone line from his home ranch at Lochiel to the Potrero ranch near No gales. If Nogales merchants will give MT Hof the necessary patronage he will put in a town system to con- meet with MT. Cameron's line. Then the DuQuesne Mining Company will connect their camp with the system, and probably Washington Camp and Harshaw will connect. That will naturally give Nogales a command of trade over in that region. The busi- ness men of Nogales should by all means give MT. Hoff every encourage ment to put in such a system. It would advantage the town greatly.

in Washington today. The statue is
in commemoration Of Father Mar

northwest delights to honor, and is a

through the virgin forests along the
great lakes centuries ago opened the
path for all the settlements to follow.
United to a bold and adventurous mind

the address. The statue obtained
wider renown than would otherwise
have been the case by.reason of the re-
cent attack upon it by Michigan A.

is the first of a Catholic to be placed in
the capitol.
An effort will be made today to pre-
vent the dedication of the statue by
Linton rep, Mich.), who is an avowed
representative OF the A. p. A. doctrine.
Linton has prepared resolution TO
prevent the placing Of the statue in
the capitol basing his protest on the
law providing that only statues of
citizens Of the state furnishing them
shall be placed there, and claiming
that Marquette was not a citizen of
Wisconsin. He will try to secure
consideration for the measure.

His Pathetic Speech in Congress.

theme in the halls of the capitol is the
announcement that w. Bourke Cochran
has applied TO one of the Well-knoWn
catholic seminaries for admission as
student for prospective holy orders
A former colleague of Mr.. Cochran said
chat this remuneration OF politics was
largely Influenced by the treatment he
received from Speaker Crisp on his
return to the house after prolonged
absence at the bedside OF his wife, on
which occasion he made one of the
most pathetic speeches ever heard IN
congress. The Georgia member took
occasion to reply TO a speech of Mr.
Cochran by saying that he was a young
man of great eloquence to whom they
all liked to listen, but whose services
to the country consisted chiefly in
oratory, and when the practical drudg-
cry of committee work had to be done
Mr.. Cochran had not been in evidence
