 A special to the Phenix Republi- can from Washington says: The president said definitely today that he would nominate Myron H. Me- Cord to be governor of Arizona.

He told them that SO many moro im cortaut affairs had to be considered, that he had not been able to give tho Ari- zona appointments proper consider tion. He had found it necessary 10 go over the papers of all the appli- cants for the Arizona goverIorship.

 A progressive whist party given by MT. and Mrs. 'E. B. Gage last evening, in honor of Mrs. C. W. Cheyney, of Tucson, was one of the most successful Of the social events of the season. The opportunity oi- fered in natures lavish generosity to Arizona in "a floral way was taken advantage of, and the house was proiusely decorated with golden peoples, massed throughout the rooms of the spacious residence, with most gorgeous effect-a charm ing novelty in the midst of our snow-clad hills and generally wintry surroundings. An elaborate supper was served about midnight, the idea of distinctive color being carried out with charming effect in the tas ble decorations. The honors of the evening were carried of by Mrs. Cheyney and MT. Carter, for north south, and Mrs. Col. De Russy and Judge Sloan, and Mrs. Collins and Capt. Gilbreath tied for east and west, the former team winning in the cut of. Each lady on depart ing was presented with 6 generous bouquet of the peoples, a lovely souvenir of delightful evening.
 Mrs. L. B. Wetmore is an appli- cant for appointment, under the new administration, to the office of clerk of the court for this district. Mrs. Wetmore came to this city only little more than a year ago, leaving her home and relatives in Chicago to make the venture of her own livelihood in the ''wilds of Arizona, (which many women would hesitate about doing) and since that time has, through her in law offices as steno. and by her close attention to duty and persistent efforts be- come thoroughly acquainted with the practical duties pertaining to such offices, as we'll as gained a good knowledge of the duties connected with the responsible position of clerk of the court. hence is no doubt fully competent to fill the office. We understand that Mrs. Wetmore has the almost unanimous support and recommendation of the bar and county officers as we'll as of many of Joe prominent and influential men of this district. Mrs. Wetmore has two children to support as we'll as herself and it seems to be her great and laudable ambition to make of her son, her oldest child, lawyer who will eventually make a name Tor himself in the profession.
