The meeting of the Territorial
Board of Equalization in Phoe-
nix last week was certainly a
warm one. The governor deci-
ded that the mines of the terri
tory must be raised in valuation
One member, A. S. DOnau. was
opposed to the action of
the board, so the gov
ernor politely asked him to hand
in his resignation, which he did;
Thomas F. Wilson. member of
the last legislature, was APP
pointed to fill his place. The
mines of the various mining
counties were raised all the way
from 100 to 1900 per cent. Yav-
apai County mines got 1t in the
neck to the tune Of a 100 per
cent raise, while those of Co.
chise County received the stun
ming raise of 1900 per cent Most
of the other counties received
about 500 per cent raise. These
raises will un dou b t div
cause much litigation as most
of the big mining companies
will not stand for it. 1t is now
reported that the District Attor-
ney of Yavapai County has ad
vised the County Board of
Equalization to pay no attention
to the actions of the Territorial
Board. The total valuation of
taxable property within the ter
ritory is about S13, ,O0O, 900 more
than last year.

OUR Daily Story.
When a Woman Was Referee.

Just as Helen finished dressing,
the bell rang and a box was
brought to her. She recognized the
writing on the outside and her hand
trembled slightly as she opened it.
Investigation showed only a little
leather football about one-fourth
the usual size, laced up the side in
the proper manner. Slowly she
lifted it from the box. Something
ratified inside. Yes, it opened, and
there lay an exquisite bunch of vio-
lets together with tiny note:
My Dear Helen: With a hope
that today's football may hold as
sweet message for me as l want
this little one to bring to you.
Yours, JACK.
The game commenced. Gathering
all his strength the fullback cap
tain kicked off, a long whirling
kick, sending the ball almost to the
goal posts. 1t was returned by a
brilliant run to the middle of the
field. Then the struggle began.
Back and forth the contest ragged,
a punting battle.
Suddenly, no one could tell ex-
actly how it happened, the brilliant
little halfback of the rival team
tore around the end. Assisted by
magnificent interference he got
clear of the whole team except the
quarterback, crouched well back
toward the goal posts waiting for
his chance. The captains voice
rang out across the field, Tackle
low, hold him." There was a quick
lunge. but the brilliant hurdle of
the speedy halfback scored five
points for the visiting team. The
goal was easy. The half ended six
to nothing and the face of the big
fullback was set more firmly than
ever.
Again the battle commenced.
The home team was playing fierce
ly. The captain, dirty and bruised,
was lighting now as he had never
fought before. Time and again he
was called and like battering ram
he made the distance, yard by
yard.
1t was the old trick play. With
teeth set and gathering the ball I'D

This is red letter day in the his

has the city been as crowded with
visitors from all parts of the state
as today and never has it presented
more festive appearance. Flags
and bunting in the national colors
were displayed lavishly on all pub

and private houses. From early
morning the tramping and rafting
Of the troops as they marched
through the streets to their re-
spective stations, the bugle calls
and the music of the bands added
martial note to the general din
and confusion. Thousands of peo-
pie crowded the streets and from
an early hour besieged every point
of vantage from which a glimpse
of the military parade and the pres
ident could be obtained. The crowds
were particularly large near the sta
ton where the president was to ar
rive and along the streets through
which he was to drive to the re-
viewing stand.
The presidents special train,
which had left Jessup, Ca, at $40
this morning, was met at the state
line by General j. Clifford r. Fos-

COTTON SITUATION

did not catch the quick words, GO,
Jack, CO." as he lodged the quarter
back. They caught him just at the
goal posts and he fell headlong, a
terrible fall, but still tightly
clutched in his arms the ball law q
foot behind the goal.
The crowd went wild and yell
after yell arose until it seemed that
the very sky shook, but the cap
tain's charm was broken. Some
thing was roaring in his head.
He opened his lips slightly, Tell
Tom Phillips to kick for me, he
must make that goal. Tell him he
MUST, he doesn't" Then
everything grew uqiet and dark.
When he came to, the crowd was
leaving the field. He saw the
twinkling of carriage wheels in the
distance. Yes, he could walk all

at the fellows who were helping
him. They shook their heads, Phil

A trifle pale perhaps, but with
jaw more squarely set, the captain
was waiting for the girl whom he
was to take to the banquet. The
season was over, football days for
him were gone. His team had been
a good one, exceptionally good, and
it had not failed him in the time of
need. 1t had simply been out

doubly bitter.
Yes, there were his flowers, the
bunch of violets, and then, as the
hall light struck full upon her, he
caught the glimmer of something
almost hidden in the folds Of lace
on her dress. A sterner light crept
into the captains dark eyes, and
half unconsciously he Strengthened

feet wide. will be widened from
Bush to Broadway, to width of
100 feet. This will make it one
of the finest avenues in the city.
These street improvements, to-
gether with the numerous fine,
substantial buildings, will, it is es-
timated, increase the value of real
estate 400 or perhaps 500 per cent.
These 16 blocks are valued at
about $6,000,O00. This section was
originally the business part of San
. Francisco. The frame buildings
have degenerated into rookeries,
| and the once substantial brick
buildings are but decaying ruins.
Rent values are gradually decreas-
ing in consequence, and property
owners realize that they must re-
build in order to get the value of
ground rentals. But, the general
business of the Chinese quarter
has decreased, and the merchants
can not afford to pay more. Rents
have decreased about % per cent
within the past year. The owners
of bagnio houses get high rents,
but the majority do not, and these
favor the removal of the Chinese,
and the rebuilding of the old quar-
ter into a modern American city.
