THE MORALES CONSULATE. Not Securely Hedged About by Civil
 Service Rules

A Nogales paper made the state ment in an issue of last Saturday that R. H. Long, United States consul at Nogales, would be permitted to retain his place under the civil service rules. Just one week to a day before that President Mckinley had offered the position to J. F. Darnall of Green castle, Ind. Mir. Darnall wanted an office, but he wanted something better than the Nogales consulate, whose chief emolument is the admirable eli made in and about the Lime city. The salary is not overwhelming and the honor is only commensurate with the responsibility. There is compara- lively little responsibility. MT Da = nall at first thought he would decline the consulate, but before doing so he went on to Washington to see if the president had nothing better in stock MT. Darnall is a former townsman of MT w. s. Scott of the probate judges office. He is a prominent Indiana politician and was at one time pres ident of the Greencastle Rolling Mills company. Whether or not he decides to accept the office, tIe tender of it to him indicates that the civil service walls surrounding Mr., Long are not impregnable.

THE BLACK CANYON ROAD.
It Is in Fair Condition Now-S ,m-.
 thing About Sign Boards.

Editor Republican-Si I noticed about a month ago an article stating the condition of the Black CaDyon road to be very bad. I have travel ed over the road several times dur ing the past year. It never was a good road, but in September it was next to impossible. I passed ever the road a few days ago and found several men at work improving it. I heard a teamster say, who had tray eled it at times for the past fifteen years, that he never saw it in better condition than at the present time. especially that part of the road from Phoenix to Agua Fria station. ] met several large teams on the read go- ing to Squaw creek.
 There is law on our statute books that requires overseers of roads to place guide boards at forks of roads and crossings. About one year ago in going over the Black Canyon road I saw several guide boards but there are none at the present time. Parties whom these guide boards mostly ben eft destroy them. Emigrants and tramp teams burn them for camp fires. I have seen the remains Of these boards where these people have camped. I see no remedy ex- cept that guide boards should be made of sheet ircn and rivetted to an iron stake. Material should be used that is worthless for any other purpose. It is almost necessary that these guide boards should be placed on the desert, in fact on all roads. There are so many roads that are used for hauling wood that it is diff cult to direct a man so he can follow the right road A guide board saves time and frequently saves life.

DANGER.

Editor Arizona Republican-Sir Yesterday I undertook to visit a friend living about a mile south of Phoenix. I started to make a straight run but it was no go. I found the weeds and vegetable matter too dense. had to go around. Nearly all Mex ican and some Americans smoke cig- arettes. Some smoke cigars or pipes
 Camp fires are sometimes built near town. Supposing a spark of fire, a stump of cigar or, cigarette should be thrown to the. ground near these weeds and fire started. With a high south wind wall of fire twenty or thirty feet high would quickly reach the frame buildings south of town. The smoke would be suffccat- ing. The heat would be intense. The firemen would be helpless in an hours time. One-half of the city might be reduced to ruins and hun dreds of lives lost. Those who doubt the real situation would do well to visit the locality mentioned and learn the facts. A RESIDENT.
