 LETTER FROM WALTER GREGO- RY.-Mr. T. F. Grindell has received a letter from Walter Gregory, dated at Dagupan, March 2Sth He says he continues to improve in health and ex- poets to get well and come back to Phoenix next fall. Speaking of condi- tions in Luzon he says: Things are looking better over here. and during the past few weeks many thousand insur- gents have surrendered themselves and taken the oath of allegiance There is some discontent, though. over the ap- pontments to provincial offices The natives think they are not getting their share"
 A PRETTY PLACE-One of the pret- tiest suburban parts of the city is Simms addition. This Is not from any particular favor on the part of dame nature, or whoever built the town site, but the credit Is due entirely to the late J. T. Simms, who when he plated the addition laid out between each tier of blocks a beautiful street park two hundred feet wide and a quarter of a mile long. These parks he set to um- brella trees some years ago and gravel ed the roads on either side. The result is that today there Is beautiful shade in all these places, better in fact than most picnic grounds Phoenix people travel miles to find. If everyone who plated an addition had done as Mir. Slmms did Phoenix would today be one vast park
 TOO MUCH BROWN.-For two or three days the public has been kept in- formed of the presence of a man named Brown in the county jail, arrested by Captain Hi Mcdonald on telegrapl.c orders from Bisbee. Yesterday morn ing the man who lodged the complaint against him arrived here from Bisbee. The story in nort Is that he is a saloon keeper and his name is also Brown. The suspect is a carpenter and en- gagged to do piece of work for Brown. the saloon keeper. The contractor re- ceived $600 on account, which he had actually earned and which was all light. But he was good spender and managed to get s400 more on account, that he expected to earn some time. He then left the city shortly after and the arrest followed. It was learned that while his work was hardly straight a criminal charge would not stick and the matter was adjusted be- tween the two Browns.
