PPERTUNITIES
IN THE SOUTH.

No portion of the United
States has made greater prog
ress in the last year OR two
than the South. Northern and
foreign capital is rapidly in
vading that section, finding
profitable investments in the
various industries and facto-
ries that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands of
all kinds and prices are grad
ually advancing, as they will
for years to come. Work is
plentiful and poverty practi-
cally unknown. Alabama is
supplying coal and iron TO all
the world. More money can
be made and with less labor in
the raising of small fruits and
berries and 'in'truck patching
on the Gulf coast than in any
other state in the Union. Straw
berries from Alabama reach
northern markets before those
from the states in the south
east. Cattle can be raised
with great profit, there being
millions of acres of cheap
range lands. If you are in
terested in the south and its
resources and desire informa-
tionon any subject, address

THE ATHLETIC SMOKER
Van Sickle Won the Wrestling Match
 A Challenge Issued.

A fair sized audience attended the smoker given by Manager Stechan at the Doris opera house last night. The entertainment opened with a wrestling ma tch between John Van Sickle and Frank Burton. Van Sickle won the first two throws. In the last fall he wrenched Burton's shoulder severely. The first fall lasted ? minutes, and the second 31a minutes. Burton being the older man done very well in staying as long as he did for Van Sickle is next to the champion welter weight wrestler of America having trained with him for over two. years. Burton is satisfied now that Van Sickle Is the better man, as this makes the second time he has gained victory over him.
 The next event was a wrestling match between two local boys, young Jenkins and Bagby. This was more on the rough and tumble order. Bagby won the first fall in 412 minutes and the second in l minute. Next in order were the boxing bouts. The first was five-round go between Young Flores more science in blocking. but Henry was the aggresser in every round. Flores got the decision
 Tyson and Howell were the next principals in q four-round go. This was a friendly exhibition and was re- ceived very well by the audience

WINNING TICKET
 FOR REPUBLICANS
Walter Bennett Nominated for
 Mayor
John Dennis and J. c. Brooks for the Council l. Recognition of Recorder Jobs and Marshal Kinney-W. c. Foster for Collector.

The republicans of Phoenix last night formally opened the municipal cam paign by the nomination of the follow ing ticket:
 Mayor-Walter Bennett.
 Councilman First ward-John T. Dennis.
 Councilman Second ward-J. L Brooks.
 Recorder-T. A. Jobs.
 Assessor and Tax Collector-W. C. Foster.
 Marshall. H. Kinney.
 Treasurer-W. H. Robinson.
 The convention was held in the dis trict court room. Much of the prelim- mary work had already been agreed upon by the members of the convention so that little remained to be done be- yond the ratification of the plainly ex- pressed will of the people at the pri- maries.
 The convention was called to order by T. J. Prescott, the chairman of the central committee. Dr. William Duf- field was elected temporary chairman and Hugh P. Evans temporary secre- tary. The following committee on ere dentials was appointed: J. C. Wassor, l.. L. Plank, E. w. Potter, J. A. Mar shall and Clinton Lauver.
 Upon the report of the committee showing the members entitled to seats in the convention, together with a list of the proxies, appointments of com mittees of order of business and plat form and resolutions were made. There was prematureness in the disclosure of the constitution of the committee on order of business which created that one member of it was an accom- plished mind reader or a forecaster in whom the weather bureau might be- come interested.
 The committees were made up as follows:
 Order of business-J. B. Woodward, L. A. McAfee, Ancil Martin, George Kirkland, H. w Ryder
 Platform and resolutions-Roy z. Goodrich, Joseph Thalheimer, S. J. Fri bolet, E. J. Prescott and Frank Moss.

A number of Colorado and Utah men have organized a company for the exploration of mines in the Henry mountains, southern Utah, close to the Arizona line. The company will cut timber in the Ari- zona mountains and ship it to the mines in Utah by steamer on the Colorado river. It looks to us that steamboating on the Colorado river above the Grand Canyon is a rather precarious undertaking, but suppose the company organizers know what they are doing.-Mohave Miner.

ed. In arriving at this conclusion, it
can be candidly said that the Herald
believes Governor Jennings would
make equally as good senator, but
the situation alluded to above indi-
cate that the people must choose be-
tween Mes-rs. Taliaferro and Stock
ton, for it Is apparent that the ambi-
ton of Governor Jennings cannot yet
be realized, and we should direct our
efforts to the election of the man who
has already, like our governor, proved
his value to the state and his ability
to serve Us with efficiency aud hon
or.
Even if the governor had excellent
assurance of success in his aspirat-
ions, the Herald feels the force Of the
argument that democratic precedent
has generally, if not always, reward
ed a faithful aud valuable public
servant with at least second term in
office, Senator Taliaferro unquestion-
ably deserves the same consideration
which the democratic voters have
given Senator Mallory and his pre-
decessOrs. His speech, a synopsis of
which il on the first page of this
paper, should be to all sufficient
argument for his return to the senate,
but as time passes the discussion of
his candidacy will undoubtedly de-
velOp abundant additional reasons
for re-eIecting him.-Editor Jordan
