Will is one of the best men in this part of the world and has the reputation of being a jolly fellow. That he is not married is no fault of the girls here on Oak creek. for several of them tried to catch him for months. The report preceded him home that he had succumbed to the wiles and smiles of sea beach fairy and had tied him. self in the good old nuptial knot for life. Will says that there is nothing in the report, and that he is still fancy free. John Fain did not return with Will and will probably stay there the ball. ance of his life.

 In all the departments much praise was given Governor Murphy for his clIan administration and the great ad- vance made by the territory during the past few years in all interests. He has worked hard and diligently in the inter- est of statehood and many of the chiefs of divisions told me he would be sue cessful without a doubt in securing it at the next session of congress.
 My work in Maryland and Delaware was productive of good results, for be . fore I left I had secured the promise of two families to visit us in the fall to live here and go into business
 The board specially sent me to Ros- ton just as I was about to return and the week spent there was used to good advantage. Here I distributed about two thousand pamphlets among physi- clans. Christian associations. industrial unions, women's clubs, and about ho- tels. In the windows of seventeen railroad offices I had our folders placed, as we'll as on their counters, and every day I could see them being read by people.

BACK FROM NOME
Billy Meade Returns and His Sack
 Jingles Musically.

Billy Meade returned here yesterday morning from his summer outing which he spent this season in Nome City. While not engaged in looking at the country, he courted the favors of the goddess of fortune. and il is said by his friends that she smiled on him like the love-lorn maid so often pictured in comic valentines. The cash value of those smiles is the one great secret that Billy is keeping to himself.
 Incidentally, he brings back a few bits of news regarding other Phoe- nicians who wandered away in search of gold and excitement. Jack Boland one of the first to leave here for None returned with him and is now in LoS Angeles. His venture brought him measure of financial prosperity. as he cleaned up about $6 GOO, but the long voyages to and from the distant shore and the rigorous climate of the north robbed him of his health.
 Senator Freeze Is travelling round under a horse shoe and good luck fol- lows his footsteps. He continues to have a good appetite and plenty of money for the groceryman.
 J. F. Teeters is likewise prosperous He is engaged in a brokerage enter prise that leaves a comfortable margin for the operators.
 Speaking of the sporting life in Nome. he says the big saloon and gambling house owned by Dick Dawson and which is now famous all over the world, is a veritable mint for it's pro prietor. He employs five barkeepers on each shift and five walters to serve the patrons at tables who are too busy to go to the bar.
 In Nome the man who walks up to the bar to take his toddy commands first attention; those who are sitting down must wait. There are twelve call bells which the five walters must an swer. but their orders are not filled by the barkeepers, so long as the line at the counter r.mains unbr9ken. All saloon business is transacted with chips and p cents is the unit of value. It is unsafe to call for red 'likker" with less than that amount in ones pocket. The drinks served at the games net the bar $125 per day. That is exclusive of the bar custom proper.

A COCHISE CONSTABLE
Takes a Couple of Wild Shots at
 Mexican Outlaw.

Last Saturday night the officers re- ceived word that d notorious Mexican whose last crime was to shoot two men a few weeks ago one through the hand and the other through the arm, was in town. says the Cochise Review. Date Graham and Dell Lewis went up to the house indicated. but the man had left. The officers then took different roads, Date Graham going down the road to- wards the tank. When nearly opposite the assay office, near the tank. a man came towards Graham, whom he recog- nized as the man he was after. The recognition. however. was mutual, and the Mexican jumped down the steep bank and ran for the bridge leading to the assay office. As he jumped Graham fired but missed, as his man still ran on. Date took deliberate aim and fired again, but the darkness and the fugi tive's cratic course caused him to again miss his mark. The Mexican disappeared in the darkness. In the hurry of his flight he dropped two bot ties of Mescal. The first bullet went through the wall of the assay office and just missed the acid bottles.

CONDITIONS IN INDIA.

Bombay, Aug. 1.-The last of the cot ton crop was sowed today. The food crops were all sowed by the first of the month. Here the corps are reported above the average. In Tonkan, in the Carnatic and in the Eastern Deccan they are promising. Elsewhere, south and north of Neerbudda, in Jugaral, Kathiawar and Baroda, the rain fall has been insufficient. There has been little sowing except in few places. In the Carnatic provinces excellent rains have prevailed lately. If the monsoon continues favorable within the culti- vated area crops will fall short only at Hagpur and Chattisgard.
 The prospects in Bedar are encourage ing. In Rajpunta the rain fall has gen. orally been sufficient for agricultural purposes, save in a few sections where the heavy mortality of cattle has been felt. No distress is reported.

SECRETARY CHAPMAN RETURNS
A Short Account of His Good Work
 For Arizona.

The secretary of the board of trade. MT. H. M. Chapman, who left Phoenix on July 15 last for a tour of two months through the east advertising the eli mate of the Salt River valley, returned Wednesday morning. During the time he has been away he has traveled over eight thousand miles, has visited twelve cities, and distribeted- nearly ten thousand pamphlets in channels where the most good will be accom- plished.
 When asked if Arizona seemed to te known to many whom he called on, MT. Chapman said: There was not a city I visited but that Phoenix was well known to some physician. Of course many had heard little about it. but when they had a conversation with me and heard my description of it and the wonderful health giving climate we have. it was not long before they be- came satisfied that it was the place they should recommend to their pa tients suffering from bronchial. throat and lung troubles, to go for their health"
 Next to the physicians. MT. Chapman said, the railroad offices were eager to get copies of our folders and as soon as received they gave them conspicuous places on their counters and in their display windows. At Topeka, Kansas City. Chicago, Milwaukee, Racine. Waukesha and Wauwat0sa. over four thousand folders were distributed.
 Tn Washington, my old hOme," said Mir. Chapman, "the papers gave Phoe- nix a fine write-up and as a conse- quence many called to see me about the place. Besides working on the eli mate I also looked into the water stor- age question and called at the depart- ments for some information, which was chferfully given me and will be used by the board in helping them solve this matter. Other facts were secured by mo from some of the geological survey officially which I believe will help the board in its work the coming win ter. At the Indian bureau l had the pleasure of meeting the commissioner and MT. Dortch, chief of the education division. and they were warm in their praise of our Indian school. The manner in which the institution is managed under Col McCowan is a source of de- light to the whole Indian office. No agent stands higher in the estimation of the office than the colonel and the department can always be relied on 10 aid the Phoenix school whenever neo- essary.

HON. DENNIS T. FLYNN
Oklahoma Congressman a Phoenix
 Visitor Yesterday.

Hon. Dennis T. Flynn of Guthrie. Okla. delegate to congress from that territory, arrived in the city yesterday on his way to the coast, where he will enjoy vacation of ten days. He could spare only one day in Phoenix and was very much pleased with the town, which he never visited before. He re- sumed his westward Journey last night
 Mir Flynn is a small, youthful looking, energetic gentleman and pleas ing talker. He is moreover a republi- can who can see no possibility of the defeat of his party next fall. Said MT. Flynn: Tn coming through your ter ritory l met a party of mining men. who got on the train I think at Bowie, and talking with them about politics in Arizona, one of them said that Is to1 was the principal issue" MT. Flynn re- piled that he was surprised that this issue cut so great a figure in Arizona alone 'I have traVeled," said he. lover q considerable part of the United States and find people too busy to talk about silver. MT. Bryan himself is too busy to talk about it. The question seems to be kept alive nowhere outside of Ari- zona."
 The national political outlook. from MT. Hymns view, is very bright. He comedies Kentucky to the democrats, but is confident that Maryland, Della ware and West Virginia will repeat their verdicts of four years ago. He is willing to bet all he is worth that Kan gas and Wyoming will go republican. He believes also that South Dakota will cast its vote for Mckinley. but that a democratic or fusion legislature will be elected In the interest of Pettigrew
 Concerning statehood. MT. Flynn be- lieves that no bills will be passed at the short session and he thinks it rather improbable that New Mexico and Ari- zOna will be admitted very soon. He is hopeful of statehood for Oklahoma, which has q population of between 40O,- 900 and 500. 900. and about 125.000 school children. Mr. Flynn did not make a determined effort to secure the admis- sidR of his territory at the last term. mainly for the reason that he was working for the passage of the Free Homes bill. a much more important thing than statehood. for it saved to Oklahoma about 1000 900. The bill was passed and MT Flynn was en- deared, not only to his territory, but to a section of Kansas, Wyoming. the Da- kOtas and other states to which the law became applicable.
 "Oklahoma." said Mir Flynn. 'is democratic. We can not deny that, but this year it, will go republican again. Times Were never so good there as they are now, and that circumstance is at tributed by all classes to a beneficent republican administration"
 It vas mentioned to MT. Flynn that the convention at which he had been renominated had been held only last week. Yes" he said but it could hardly be called political convention
