A Little Chat
 With the Governor
GOVERNOR ERODE HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON AND THE EAST
Returned to the Capital Last Week With Ars. erodie, the Latter Great
 iy Rejuvenated By Her Trip.

As previously announced Governor Alexander O. Brodie, returned last week from an extended trip to Wash ington incidentally. and principally to New Jersey, where Mrs. Brodie
 had been for some time on a visit, and it was mainly the governors ob. ject to accompany Mrs. Brodie to Phoenix. representative of the Re view had the pleasure of call upon
 the chief executive of the territory on Monday last, anc as, customary found Governor Brodie, in that ever
 genial mood, which makes his visitor feel perfectly at home Possibly might be added to this his disposition,
 undoubtedly unintentionai, of making one envious, for after taking one Of
 the leather upholstered seats in the
 executive chamber, and being invited to have cigar, about the first thing His Excellency does, is to take out his pipe. load it up, and it is evident that if ever there was a man enjoyed
 his smoke it is Governor Brodie
 and he'll make away with 8 pipefull
 every fifteen minutes, and all the
 time telling you something you are
 glad to know.
 The governor, of course, had a de
 Eghtful visit with his old friend. the colonel of his regiment. and now president of the United States, MT Roosevelt. Lunched with him and dined with him in the White House and of course talked old times to a standstill
 The Governor appeared before the com mittee on territories and it may be relied upon told the gentlemen of the committee that "AIizona was. at tached to New Mexico, entirely out of the question, that we stood to cay with 17S,000 people based on the school census, and that the growth oi Arizona today far exceeded that of any other portion of the country, and that emigration was headed towards this territory. There is but little doubt but what the work of Governor Bro die in behalf of single statehood is having and did have a telling efec' | upon the committee. TEe governor
 also interested himself in behalf ol the Indian Legislation and the ad justment of claims for Indian depre i dations.
 The reports made by Governor Bro die to the secretary of the interior probably are the most complete and comprehensive documents evel 1 issued in this territory, covering iti resources and all details of it's re sources and similar information, vii
 soon be published and issued. Governor Brodie was elected
 member of the Cattle Mems conven tion on Monday last, and made thu address of welcome to the conven I tion in the council chamber.
 | Governor Brodie Is now very mucl ! interested in the Worlds Fair commif | sion and expects to see Arizona mak | showing that will astonish tn world.
 His exceilency expects to visit Bis
 bee at no distant date, where he feel I assured a hearty welcome awaits hir 4 as there is. Governor Brodie. q 4 fhough republican appointee, come
 nearer to representing the whole pe< pie, than any man ever representa- the people in the governors chail He Is thoroughly democratic in everJ thing that he does, Ia . true and zea
 ous friend of Arizona and works sol'
 ly in the interest of what Ia best fo
 the territory and the people in 1t.
