 Will Commence at Geronimo.

Geronimo, Ariz., March 9.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- It was expected that when the regu ar meeting of the Globe commercial club was held Monday evening MT. Garland would be present, but he came not. He had occasion to meet Prof. Doug lass at the United Globe and this fact caused him to send regrets. The club, before reaching the main topic went through the regular order of business, Joseph H. Hamill in the chair and H. L. Coombs taking notes as secretary. The following gentlemen were accep-- ed as new members: J. s. Cook late of Winslow; LewisA. Jordan, recently from Phoenix; M. O. Bonne, O. Byrnes, Henry Dewey, Edward Stewart and S. c. Saylor. Messrs. B. J. Edwards, George J. Stoneman and c. M. Allison were appointed by the chair to eX- anime the law in regard to annexation of property outside of the present town limits, in view of circulating pe- titions to file with the board of super visors April 4, with rererence to in corporation. There is a likelihood of securing the necessary two-thirds of the taxpayers. The desire is to take in enough outlying land to form cor porate limits one mile wide, east and west, and two miles long, taking in the Old Dominion and United Globe smell ters on the north.
 Following these material points in the business of the club, came up the railroad question. Judge E. J. Ed wards, who had been retained on Sat urday as local attorney of the G. V. G. & N railway by MT. Garland, desired to speak for President Garland with reference to right of way through Globe He said that Mr. Garland had no wish to encounter litigation and therefore wished unanimous consent of all interested. He was ready to pay damages to any property over which his road would pass, fairly and req sonably. As at present indicated he would place the passenger and freight depot opposite and east of the public school coming in from the southeast by the main road which led into Broad, or in other words, the main street of Globe It would be necessary in cutting off, just before reaching the school house. to establish a grade over the bed of Pina1 creek to Pine street, d I, ing the intervening space from Broad street to Pine for the depot and yard room at that point It would involve a well built breakwater of 1000 feet at great expense to the railroad com pany, at the same time lessening the exposure to that part of town which has suffered by overflows in past years. 1 The line would run down Pine street l (first street west of Broad) necessitat- /! ing very little change of grade on that street and fill just north of Kinney's s ice works and hotel. Here again it became necessary to rip rap as this is a greatly exposed point on the creek aforesaid business block and more being on the bed of the creek, prac- | tically. He would cross the creek to | the rising point north by a bridge of 200 feet in length. Through the op- posite side cut would be made and i the grade past Bankers brewery would thereafter be easy to the smelters As to stock yards they would be Fly outside of the town limits to the south east. At present it will be difficult to determine the sum of money to be ex- | pended but those who recognize the difficulties to encounter in the matter of establishing breakwaters as above reIerred to can readily see that consid- erabie additional expense would be in-
 cured in this wise and all great benefit to the town.
