THE CONDITION or GRAHAM

which infests all border towns to some extent.
 The activity in railroad building in Sonora is bringing into this section a host of riff-raff of the smaller fry of criminals. as was evidenced on Tues day. when an attempt was made to break into the Fiegge-Figgs store. and again on Wednesday night. when an attempt to hold-up two young men of Douglas was made.
 The rewards of P. B. Warnekros, the county and citizens for the cap ture of Vaughn's slayer, are still stand ing. and aggregate nearly ten thous- and dollars. It is expected that this reward will bring a number of private detectives here who will endeavor to run down the assassin and gain the coveted prize money.

BANK COMMISSIONER NICHOLS I IN CITY ON INSPECTING TOUR
Phoenicians are Enthusiastic Over
 Making Coed at Rate of $too Day


 W. F. Nichols, territorial auditor, ar rived in Bisbee last evening direct from the capital.
 Auditor Nichols Is on a tour of in- spection of the banks of this section. When sesn by Review reporter at the Copper Queen hotel last night, Ar. Nichols talked of the general 4ncrease in prosperity throughout the entire territory.
 Phoenix in particular, and in fact, the whole Salt River valley, looks for ward to an immediate increase in &C., tiyity," said the genial official The Salt River Valley Water Users asso- ciaticl is hustling its petition for signers in order to get the govern ment to start on the proposed reser- voir. which is intended to store the waters of Tonto Basin to be used in irrigating the valley. The scheme Is a big one and means much to every body who lives in that section. The government approves of the project and all that is necessary is to get ev. eryone interested to sign. This will undoubtedly be done as all will be benefited by the storage of waters for irrigation purposes"
 MT. Nichols also stated that within the past ten days ground had been surveyed for a monster beet sugar factory to be erected in Phoenix The contract for several millions of brick has been let. An eastern syHdicate will own and operate the factory.
 When asked as to the results at; tained by the passage of the Cowan bill, Mir. Nichols said: During the sixty days from March 18th to May 18th, the receipts in fees covered in- to the treasurers office, amounted to six thousand dollars, an average of one hundred dollars per day. The daily receipts for fees ranges all the way from twenty-five to one hundred and fifty dollars"
 This section looks to me to be forg, ing ahead wonderfully" said Auditor Nichols. in reply to a question as to what part of the territory he consid- cred most active commercially.
 MT. Nichols leaves today for Doug las to examine the banks of the Shelter City, after which he will re turn to Phoenix. His next trip will cover the towns in the Gila valley.
