The Presidents Change in Policy To
 ward Confederate Veterans.

Mississippi politicians believe that President Roosevelt has repented hls action in the Arcola postotfice case. which caused much discussion throughout the south, and Is now making amends to southern demo- crats by the appointment of conted- e-ate veterans and the widows O. confederate veterans and other democrats to many postofficeS in the state.
 Du ing the last few months many DOS offices have become vacant. and amoIg the many appointments made by President Roosevelt there has not been a single instance reported in which the patrons O the postotfice aye displeased with his choice.
 More women are in charge of post offices in the state today than ever before in his history, and amoTg them are many widows ot confed crate veterans. appointed since the president began his new policy.
 old soldiers wh O served throughout the CIVIL war III lHc NOuICNt dlt army have also been selected to fill offices.
 Democrat postmasters have become numerous. and it is said that demo- crats have received appointments with as much and proDably more frequency than republicans.
 Many instances have come to light where the president has refused ap- pointnerts to republicans of the ''tor revenue only" class and selected lifelong democrats in their stead.
 The press of the state is daily ak ing note of the apparent change in policy by the president, and much comment of a favorable nature has been tne result.
 The Mir. Roosevelt has started on . course by which he intends to placate the southern people. and to remove rom their minds former unpleasant occurrences, is the expressed belief of both democrats and republicans.

MUCH SNOW IN MOUNTAINS.

Toll Cosper, Allan Chitty and others, who came in Tuesday from the Blue river country for supplies, re- port that the rains of last week fell to an altitude of about seven thous- and feet. Above that the moisture fell in snow, which still further in- creased the depth of snow in the higher attitudes. During a residence of nearly twenty years in that sec tion they have never before seen as much snog as at the present time The snow in Luna valley averages fifteen inches and is packed hard. The Blue range, the Black range and the Mogollons are solid masses of snow probably averaging from five to ten feet in depth, and insuring a good stage Of water in the river for the entire year. Unless this snow goes of with a warm rain during the next few weeks there will be no dan ger Ot another disastrous food. Even under the very worst condi- tions that may occur, the river is now in better shape to carry the water than heretofore. While the situation is not cheerful, it is by no means alarming. However. it would be well for the people to protect their property by stone foundations, and by raising their houses above high water line.

ALONG THE SAN FRANCISCO.

The townsite of Patterson's addi- tion was badly cut up by the last flood, as was also the Chinese garden on the opposite side of the river.
 Only one house, that of Louie Georges, was lost. though the Risdon and Johnson residences came near being carried away.
 The flood uncovered a wagon which was lost by H. Moder in the last flood. It was under the house recently erect ed by MT. Johnson.
 But little damage was done in North Clifton, though a good many houses were surrounded by water, and had they not been raised since the last flood, they would have fared badly.
 The bank along the river in front of the concentrating plant and down to the suspension bridge caved badly.

In some instances they may be correct. but ds a general thing the mining companies return their property as fairly aS do the other big companies of the territory, especially the rail- roads. Mining companies do not ob- icCt to any fair method of taxation. but bill such as the Wilson bill. which proposes to tax all their prop crty aS heretofore, and then lay q special tax on their output, k mani testly unfair on its face, because it is Tn ctfcCt d double tax. It would be just aS fair to tax the railroads on their property, and then tax their matter to get at fair valuation for the taxing of mines and mining prop crty. Some mines may be heavy shippers and at the same time losing money, while other properties. which ship less, may he making big money. To assess mine at its supposed value would also be most difficult, as it would require the opinion of one ex- pert. or several of them. and they never agree, then again a mine that was. looking we'll. when the assess ment was made, might be out of ore when the tax paying time came around. The net value of a mine changes with every days work At one time it might have little or no value. and q few months later it might he regular bonanza. It is also difficult to say what the improve ments of q mine are actually worth. If they are in an isolated locality. though costing hundred thousand dollars, it is possible that they might have 10 real value, unless the mine was making money. It was suggested

NOTES.

While standing on the railroad bridge Friday night Frank Springer mistook d shadow thrown by lan- tern for bridge timber, but like the Irishman's flea, when he stepped ol it, it wasn't there, and he landed in in water up to his shoulders. He had on rubber boots and an Overcoat. which made swimming impossible. Fortunate he was able to grab hold of the bridge timbers, and managed tO get out. He found the water pretty cold for a midnight bath.
 w. F. Hagan has been busy all week with teams and SC 'apers clean ing out Copper avenue. He will soon have the street in good condition again.
 The A. C. company's dam across the Frisco river which was recently rebuilt, was not damaged by the flood, but the pile work on one side was swept away.

Passenger service was resumed Tuesday. The first mail and express since Friday night ar rived Tuesday.

that q commission be appointed 10 gather statistics during the next two years. and formulate some general plan for the taxing of mines which would be equitable and fair to all ln- terests. In fact it might be wise measure to enlarge the scope ot the commission so as to include all com- panies operating in the territory. If is understood that the through lines of railroad operating in the ter ritorv. are returning their property for several thousand dollars per mile less in Arizona than in New Mexico, while there is practically no differ enCe in the construction of the roads. or the volume of business done. There is no good reason why the legislature should single out the mining companies for higher taxa ton and at the same time let the railroads off lighter than in adjoining states and territories.

 Present indications are that there will be no trains into the city from the south under three weeks. over 800 feet of the bridge over the Gila washed out last night and today. The river is two miles wide at the bridge crossing point.
 Main line traffic on the Southern Pacific is also at d standstill, the bridge at Rillito, between Tucson and Casa Grandc, being in such condition as to prohibit attempt at crossing.
 AS yet the northern route out of the city is open. All mail and ex- press matter leaving the city is going that way. The line to Florence is still open, though it is understood that i.s trains may be all annulled tomorrow.
 Unprecedented rains seem to have fallen all over Arizona during the past week. The Gila Valley and Globe railroad has been washed out for the third time this year, and the bridge at San Carlos is gone again.
 Phoenix was again flooded and the streets filled with water from cub to curb. The Maricopa and Phoenix railroad bridge across the Gila was carried away for the third time this year.

Ogden, Monday, Nov. 27.
FIGHT ON THE BISHOP
E. W. Wade May Be Able to Land the
Coveted Postmastership at
Ogden.

The Endorsement Of Bishop Z. w. Wade
by the executive body OF the Republican
county central committee for the pOstmas-
tership Of ogden At the meeting held
Saturday evening does not seem 10 have
closed the controversy as was expected.
Instead the fight Tor the place seems 10
be more keen at the present thine than Il
was prior to the Endorsement of Mr..
Wade. There are those who question the
action or the executive body IN this mat
ter and set forth the claim that this step
should have been taken by the county
central committee.
The action of Rudolph Kuehler. the de-
feated Republican candidate for mayor, IN
taking Bishop Wade 10 task for action IN
the last municipal campaign has created
quite a stir Notwithstanding the fact
that the charges. made by Mr. kuchler
were matters OF general knowledge WIS
pered about the state. during the cam
paign. and probably had much TO do with
the election of DIR. r. NJ Conroy. Bishop
Wade has denied, however. that he was
Il party to the action, and claimed that
the word supposed 70 have come from
the Republican state central committee
came u him through others.
Since this matter has come up the IN
ference Is that the state COMMITTEES feared
that Kuchier's election would pave the
way fJg the introduction OF the "Amerl-
cam party into ogden politics two years
hence. u. A. AOyes, who was Bishop
WadeS closest opponent during the pal
IOun8 saturday niSht. IS being uIB6u "
his friends 10 continue his fight for the
pOstmastership. and 10 disregard the 0c-
tiOn OF the executive committee. The most
surprising part OF the affair is the weak
ness shown by Mayor William Glasmann,
who it was thought, would be q strong
factor IN tho proceedings. It is now
stated that another effort to land the
prize is about to be launched in favor OF
another man. whose name has not Dtc,l
hitherto mentioned in connection with the
office and ii is most probable that Ih'
fight will be a warm one from this time
on until the appointment is made.

they will cooperate with the troops OF
the Seventh corps from Simferopol. The
problem Of hemming IN the muuneers and
subduing the revolt is stated by naval
officers to be comparatively easy. The
marine barracks lie at the extremity OF a
narrow tongue OF land jutting out be-
tween the southern rOadstead and what
is known as the ships bay. The barracks
OF the Bielostok regiment are at the very
neck Of the peninsula nesting under tho
shelter Of the famous Malakoff hill. bar
ring the route TO the city, which lies on
the southern side Of the roadsted OppO-
site the quarters of the sailors. The war
ships could enter the rOadstead and ships
bay, practically surround the mutineera
on three sides and batter their barracks
down about their ears. The forts oi Sc
bastODol lie west and south of the city
and along the north shore of SebastOpOl
bay, and only the guns OF Fort COnstan-
tine, which defend the entrance 10 the
rOadstead. could be brought to bear upon
the barracks.
The wounded admiral, Pisarevski. who
commanded the practice squadron of the
fleet, was one of the naval heroes of the
RussO-Turkish war. He was on board
the Viga with Rojestvensky when that
vessel was torpedoed by a Turkish mont
tor.

SITUATION IMPROVING.

though they are in complete possession
of Admiralty Point, where the barracks

they were ready to return to duty. The
