One of Gardeners respected citizens
has been hugging himself in fiendish
glee over the thought that he has been
able to elude the eagle-eyed newspaper
representatives of,,tae home paper and
the Journal, and to be 10 days away
from home and far on his way TO Cali
fornia before the fact of his departure
became known. What a herculean I'M
dertaking that must have been. When
one sits down and unveils to his minds
eye the picture OF that man in his
deliberate plan to outwit the reporters;
sees him place the finger of silence upon
the lips of those who knew of his coming
departure. that they might not tell;
sees him as he steals to the train with
the same caution that he would ex-
ercise We're he about to rob hen roost,
and at last, when he has gained the
car without having been seen and the
grim smile of satisfaction o'erspreads
his face, it appears ludicrous to say
the least And when one considers
that all these efforts were made with
the sole object of avoiding the publ
cation of his departure in the daily
paper. 1t is absurd The compiling Of
the personal column is not executed as
a source of idle pleasure for the re-
porter. but because it is generally con-
sidared in modern journalism to be one
of the most important departments of
the local paper. 1t tells exactly what
is going on in the social world, and who
is going and coming. from day to day
she entire year. Many alleged funny
remarks are offered at the expense of
the personal column. but it will be no.
ticed' that in nine cases out of ten, the
ones who delight in airing their opin-
ions in this way are the very people
who feel the most deeply cut if their
arrival or departure is not noticed

 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR.
 GENERAL LAND OFFICE, OFFICE OF U. S. SURVEYOR GEN'L.
 TUCSON, Ariz., April p, lSgS.
 Dear Mir. Titcomb: l have just learned from Katie and Charlie of a very erroneous idea extant in Nugales, as to my views on the strip reserya- tion under the presidents proclama- tion and the titles to property in the new townsite of Nogales.
 The report is that l am hostile to the townsite until the owners Of the property in the reservation have been paid for their property by the gov ernment, and that will antagoniZe the completion of the townsite, and also the granting of titles to the citi- zens until they are paid. There is not word of truth in this report. The vacai ion of the strip has nothing to do with the granting of titles in the townsite.
 As soon as the plats of the town site are completed in this office, and filed in the general land office at Washington, and have the approval of the commissioner, the proper auth orized will be given to tue officials of the town of Nogales, to give titles to those entitled to them. The govern ment can order the vacation of the strip at once, or they can leave the occupants on their lots as long as they see fit.
 Neither proposition has anything to do with the other, and 1 am sur prised that my friends in Nogales have believed such silly report. l am rushing the work on the plats, and viii sum ssHd tth.iA2 ta Mailing ton. Nv engts To bshalf of inc eiti- zens oi Nogales seen. nut to have been appreciated, 1T this clumsy story IS believed by any number of people

 Dear Sir: The Tucson Star had an article as to riot in this city setting forth that some street gang of Ameri- cans had been attacked There has been no riot here Of any nature what ever that l have even heard rumor of; in fact there are very few Span iards here, and those that are here are very quiet indeed. The only .gang" of foreigners that is working here is party that have carrying out a contract of building cement sidewalks and macadamizing the streets. Only four or five of them are foreigners The rest of them are Mexicans and YaQui Indians. l have net heard of any disconteRt from any of them. Thus far l do not think that in any part of the town there has been a quarrel over the question of the United States and Spain. It isl a certain fact that not one single arrest has been made on that account, and not one of my'men has been ar. rested on any account. It is an in- justice to all parties that any news paper should publish such report without verihcation. Hoping that you will give this due publicity, l re- main yours very truly,
