ANNEXATION WANTED.
Southern California Wants to Break
 Into Arizona.

Though Arizona is only a territory it isn't considered such bad place by everybody and especially by the neigh bors in the north and west, says the Republican. AS is well known, Utah has been willing to secure a good slice on the north for a long time. Now comes Southern California with the suggestion that she should enjoy her self better yoked up with this alleged sin-cursed and dessicated region than to longer continue under the protec tion of the great Bear state, with all of its fruits and flowers and million aires and scheming politicians. A dis patch from San Diego dated April Is says:
 "A petition is being prepared in this city for presentation to the meeting oi the supervisors, to be held in May asking that the government of Arizona be communicated with to the end tha, a joint commission be appointed frorl the territory and from San Diego coun ty to meet in the near future and dis cuss the feasibility of bringing the question of annexing San Diego coun ty to the territory of Arizona befoc congress"

PRAISE FOR MARK.
Colonel Herring Thinks Arixona's pei
 esats Is the Right Man

Colonel William Herring, who re turned from Washington last Friday night. says the Republican. states tha, It is only question of time when con eress will authorize the act of the las; general assembly, providing for an ap propriation of $25,000 for the erection of . library at the University of Ari zona
 While in Washington, through the efforts of Hon. Mark Smith and Col onel Herring. the bill was pushed through the House and sent to the senate, where it was immediately re ferred to the committee on territories. Colonel Herring and MT. Smith saw the members of this committee and were assured that the bill would be favorably reported.
 The case of the United States vs. The Copper Queen Company was az gued and submitted to the supreme court of the United States. The gov ernment was represented by the As sistant Attorney General and Colonel Herring represented the defendant. It will be remembered that this is the case where the United States sued the Copper Queen Co. for $200,000 for cutting wood on United States miner a land. The government was def.at- ed in the United States court at Tue son and in the supreme court or the territory, In each case they carriei their case up on appeal.
 Colonel Herring says that he docs not believe that statehood is dead as far a this session of congress is con- cerned. He comments the efforts of Delegate Smith in securing the report of the omnibus bill and believes that there will be no trouble to get it through the House. He is not so con- idsnt about the Senate as he believes that the senators will be cautious about taking action that would put in Democrats in power in that body.
 Colonel Herring spent some time in New York on legal business while he was in the east and met a number of Arfzonians among them, Rocheste- Ford and Attorney General Ainsworth

 the position taken by the Silver Belt favoring the candidacy of Col. J. F. Wilson for delegate to congress, anu asserts that Colonel Wilson only per formed his simple duty in withdrawing from the race two years ago, as tho nomination for delegate was rightfully Mark Smiths. This contention of the Review is postulatory, and it will avail nothing to revive the bitter contest of two years ago. It is suficient to state that Colonel Wilson in the interest of party harmony and success withdrew from the race and counseled his fol lowers to support Mark Smith. That they did so. and heartily too, is shown by the handsome majority received by MT. Smith in the election, especially here in Gila county. where the democ- racy was previously pledged to Gel onel Wilson. In view of these facts 1t would be a graceful act upon Mark Smiths part to announce publicly thnt he declines to be a candidate for re- election, with Colonel Wilson an avow- cd candidate.-Silver Belt
 In the above quoted article the Sill yer Belt, which, in passing may be al luded to as one of the staunchest sup porters of democracy in the territory, accuses the Review of assuming. with out proof, that the nomination of Mark Smith by the last democratic conven- ton was rightfully made. The Review has no desire to revive the bitter fight of two years ago. but no doubt the ed itor of the Belt has a hay recollection of the transactions of that memorable assemblage, in asserting that the nom- ination of Hon. J. F. Wilson was de feated by any unfair methods.
 Colonel Wilson went to Phoenix ex- pectinga renomination. A majority of the delegates in the convention select ed another candidate, and there is no question but what the nomination of Mark Smith at that convention was honestly and fairly made. and we have yet to hear from the lips of a single delegate present any statement to the contrary.
 This should have ended the incident But not SO. There were some dele gates present who were so bent on the defeat of Mark Smith that they re- fused to be governed by the majority and induced Colonel Wilson to stand, for . short time. the nominee of Q bolted convention. Be 1t said to his credit that he quickly recognized his duty and refused to endanger the sue cess of the party to gratify the spite of a few personal enemies of Mark Smith. So much for Colonel Wilson's withdrawal two years ago.
 The approaching convention bids fair to be the scene of another conflict between democratic forces, in com parison with which the former episode will pale into insignifcance. Instead of two contending candidates, there will probably be half a dozen. It is well. It makes more democrats.
 The Review hopes the result will not be the cause of another bolting convention
 The only point the Review desired to make. in a former article, was that the nomination of Colonel Wilson was not wrested from him by any unfair means, and in this we maintain that the assertion was not "postulatory."

Missoula, Mont, April 11.-Mrs.
Mary O'Brien, who has been on the
poor farm here with her little son, is
NO other than Marie Kicks, the wo-
man who is known the world yer as
the window breaker. She is not at
the poor farm any longer, but is now
on her way to Minnesota, where she
promises to stay and never come back
to Missoula. Her past life, it seems,
has been well advertised in the Min
nesota and Wisconsin papers. She
was raised in Wisconsin, where she
began her campaign against windows.
Since she left the east with her
child she has endured hardships that
few women could possibly have with
stood, yet when she reached Missoula
she was not in very Strengthened cir
cumstances. She walked miles and
miles with her baby in her arms, and
it is said that in Wyoming she stole
a farmers team and drove about 200
miles before it was taken away from
her. She made a reputation for her
self in Great Falls, where she smash
ed a number of windows and was run
out of town.

This Locality Particularly Favored as
Regards seasonable Weather.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.
Az rording to all reports obtainable
! this particular part of the state seems
to he the most highly favored of any
in regard to ~seasonable weather and
other Indications of the presence of
spring. While from ether towns
come the announcements that the
grass is beginning to peep from the
ground and that trees are putting out
their first, tiny buds, the people OF
this city and vicinity have had the
pleasure Of seeing a strong, vigorous
growth of grass for several weeks, and
some of the trees have all but leafed.
So far in this respect has the season
advanced that the wne Of lawns
find it necessary to irrigate and the
man with the hose is to be seen at
work with the same disregard for the
comfort of others as he manifested in
the middle of the summer.
If other evidence were required to
establish the fact that spring is really
here it would be found in the holly
contested games of baseball that are
daily played on the vacant lots about
the city by lusty lunged and vigorous
youngsters. Marbles, too, have made
their appearance and chop scotch
has been a regular diversion for a
long time. The amateur gardner has
planted his seeds and styarbs' and is
waiting as patiently as 1t is possible
for his kind to wait for the things"
to manifest a proper intention Of
r~eciprocating his efforts by shooting
above ground and repaying him for
his hours of toll and labor.

CAUSES MUCH CONJECTURE.
Billings 6 Northern Subject Of Great
Newspaper Speculation.

FEytE- - ri ftf.L
Billings G Northern Subject Of Great
Newspaper Speculation.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette,
With the filing Of the articles of
incorporation of the recently organic
ed Billings & Northern Railroad com
pany the Helena newspapers have
found a fruitful topic of speculation
and surmise. While it looks like a
Burlington enterprise, in the opinion
of the capital city scribes the Great
Northern is not altogether disasso-
ciated with the scheme and they claim
to have it on pretty fair authority
that the latter company will construct
a portion at least of the proposed
road. The Great Northern already
has a read into Neihart and this, they
say, will be used as far as Arlington,
q distance of about Is miles. From
here the Great Northern is to build
a line to Okla, near the boundary be-
tween Meagher and Fergus counties,
and only a short distance from TIBET.
From Okla to Billings, the Burlington
Is to furnish the rest of the link that
is to connect the two trunk lines.
Having disposed of the. matter Of
constructing the road, they now pay
attention to the towns of White Sui
phur Strings and Lewistown, both of
which places will be left in the cold,
as the intended road does not touch
either.
What Francis Says.
p. G. Francis, who filed the articles
of the Billings & Northern and who
as representative of the Burlington's
treasury paid the sun of $1,000 as fl
ing fees to the secretary of state, was
interviewed by the Independent. He
said:
"The opinion seems to be general
that the road will bebuilt this summer,
If it is possible for the contractors to
do it. While I do not speak officially
IL Tx AA0LIOl, i OO1AOVO IldL LAC Jus
will be called for as soon as the nee.
essary preliminaries can be arranged,
which, of course, will take some little
time.
II understand that the first survey,
which vas made several years ago,
will be followed. If this survey is fol
iouYad tho rood will ,,,,p +hro,,rb tho
little town of Okla, a few miles west
of TIBET, in Fergus county. This will
leave the line some Is or 80 miles west
of Lewistown, and about the same dis
lance east of White Sulphur Springs.
The line will connect with a Neihart
branch of the Great Northern at Ar
mington, and will be about 191 miles
in length"

Billings G Northern to Connect the
Three Hill Systems.

Billings G Northern to Connect the
Three Hill Systems.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.
Although a triae misinformed as to
the date Of incorporation, the Mime
apolis Journal, usually we'll informed
concerning matters in the northwest
ern railroad world, says the Billings
& Northern railroad will be construct
ed before the end of the present year.
The Journal says the announcement
is made that the articles of incorpora-
tion are to be filed in this city May
l and then proceeds to give the names
of the incorporators, in which respect
it's information was correct, as the
names given are the ones that are
signed to the articles filed with the
county clerk and recorder yesterday.
| Great Falls is named in the Journals
article as the northern terminus Of
the proposed road. Instead, however,
Arlington is the place designated in
the articles of incorporation as the
place where the road is to have it's
northern end. This will result in a
considerable shortening of the pro-
posed route, as Arlington is south
east of Great Falls and much nearer
to the initial point than the Cascade
county capital.
The remainder of the Journals arti-
Gle is as follows, and as it possesses
much of local interest at present it
is herewith reproduced:
1.-THE completion of this connecting
link between the three Hill lines will
give the products of the far western
section of the Great Northern a short
er route to the markets Of the south
west. The Burlington is to- be the
route for the cotton and other exports
from the south and southwest, which
President Hill plans to carry across
the Pacific o his big steamers" This
new line will give the Great Northern
every opportunity to share in this
trade.
"Mr. Hill has long desired a connec-
tion with the Burlington in Montana,
but his efforts of several years ago
were defeated by the OPPOSITION Of the
Northern Pacific. When the Great
Northern president made his influence
in Northern Pacific and Burlington se-
cure he Immediately planned for the
connection. Then the merger suits
were started and for a time it was
thought the extension would not be
built until the litigation was ended.
t"This waiting game would do I'M
der ordinary circumstances, but Mr..
Hill can see the traffic with the orient
already starting towards the north
coast lines. He believes that it will
be upon the western roads before
their plans for taking care Of it r
complete. If the Great Northern is to
figure in this traffic to as large an ex-
tent as he desires it is necessary to
complete his plans, and the first move
necessary is the Burlington extension
from Billings.
"Not long ago the presidents of the
three systems controlled by Mr.. Hill
held a conference in st. Paul. The
Burlington extension from Billings
was discussed and the plans matured.
The organization of the independent
company is one of the big results of
that meeting. The Burlington made
the survey for the proposed route
laf fall and the preliminaries are
finished"
