another man is being somewhat ex- tensively talked of as a probable nominee for president on the na- tional democratic ticket man who stands in the very highest rank of newspaperdom William R. Hearst. It is little early in the game yet to tell us who the democratic nominee will be. While it looks a certainty at present writ ing that President Roosevelt will be renominated by the republicans, it is vet an open guess as to who will receive the honor at the hands of the opposite party. A number of names have already been brought forth as having chances for the nomination, yet no one can foretell what will transpire until the work of the convention is completed. It may not be at all unlikely that an- other dark horse might have "some- thing up his sleeve" and dash forth with lightning speed at the oppor- tune moment and carry the dele gates off their feet like Bryan did at Chicago in 1896 with his 'crown of thorns and cross of gold" and take away the prize. But if it should happen to be Hearst, why we can see no reason why he should not receive the cordial support of the newspapers that stand for the prin- ciples of his party. This applies also to papers of the opposite politi- cal complexion. Stand by the can didate of your party-get in and "dig" for him, good and hard, and not get excited and "jump the traces" simply because the candidate of your party happens to be a news paper man. We would not presume to say that Hearst is the strongest man the democrats could nominate but he stands we'll with large share of the working people of this coun' try. It seems that man who car bring three great daily journals uI to such excellence and business standing as the American of New York, American of Chicago and E& aminer of San Francisco now oc cupy, wouldn't make a bad presi
 dent if nominated and elected. The democratic party could very easily put forth a much weaker candidate

It may not be generally known that Arizona has the second oldest mission in the United States and the only one that yet holds Indians about her walls. In many respects San Xavier at Tucson is the finest mission ruin in existence today, and from the standpoint of the an- tiquarian and the lover of art, is unequaled. Ancient frescoes still decorate the walls that were paint ed by Indian artists in native col ors almost POO years ago. The mis- sion is a monument of the past and into its history is woven the early life of Arizona.

STEWART IN CHARGE
New City Health Commissioner
Says He Won't Make Any
Changes.

DR.. NJ R. Stewart yesterday morning
assumed the duties of city health com
missioner Shortly after Il o'clock he
V1sIed the JOINT building, where the Of
fees Of the city board OF health are To-
Gated. He remained there about half an
hour, talking with the attaches Of the
department and getting an insight into
the routine work of the office. About
noon he left the building. The new Of
fetal went direct uptown. About an
nour later he returned to the building
and called upon city 4secOrder Joseph O..
NystrOm in regard to his bond. which,
under the statutes, he must file with
that official.
It is not the intention of Dr. Stewart
to make any changes in the clerical or
working force of the department He
paid his predecessor a compliment by
saying that if the men eunder him were
good enough to satisfy him, Snd cOmpe-
tent to do the work expected of them
that they would be satisfactory to him.
He stated further that inasmuch as his
term of office Will probably not be very
long, as the present term of the existing
administration is drawing to a close.
that there would be nothing to gain by
making any changes That was another
reason advanced by the new official for
not asking for the resignation Of any
of the present force
Dr. Stewart declares that the quar-
antine laws will be vigorously enforced
with a view TO stamping out contagious
diseases.

A Filtering Plant VIII Have to Be
Erected For Water Supplv.

Mt. Pleasant, May IA corps of en-
gineers. under the direction of State En-
gineer Doremus, Is a work on the pre-
liminary surveying for the system of wa

have been at work since Monday and eX
pect to be several days yet before Tho
work is completed and the plans drawn
up AS soon as this is done active con-
struction work on digging the trenches,
etc. will begin. While here Mr.. Doremus
went up to spring about six miles above
town, from which the intention has been
all the time to get water to supply tho
system, and examined il thoroughly as TO
the amount of water flowing from it. He
reports that the spring does not flow wa
ter enough by half TO supply a water sys-
TEN for city of the size of this one. This
leaves but one alternative for the ciJy--a
filter1ng plant near the upper edge of
town. taking water to supply If from
Pleasant creek. Instructions have been
given the engineers to make all plans
from such a basis.
An electric lighting plant is being in
stalled this week at Spring City. The
plant proper and all necessary apparatus
for wiring the town are on the ground and
houses are being wired Poles upon which
to string the street wires have not yet
been received but they are expected in
any day. 1t is the intention to have the
entire system in and ready for operating
by about the 1st of June. The plant is
not a large one, but it will furnish all the
light needed in that town, and it is a

correctly, secured a perpetual fran
chise. I offered my rights and con-
tracts to Mr.. Ellerbeck for 5000. He
rejected the offer. Then I organized my
company and put in my plant.

about electricity. We strung naked
