Plays P Possum With
 Secretary Hitchcock

8 4.s
 Post-Intslligencer Special Service Bureau.
 Washington. D. C.. June "A.
 Since the order was sent forth by Secretary Hitchcock forbidding Gov. | Brady to leave Alaska pending the in .squiry into his connection with the con- scern known as the Reynolds Alaska De- .velopment Company, new facts have come to light which would seem to jus tify the secretary's action.
 The mining concern has issued new prospectus, especially addressed toSits stockholders, an intended to be semi \ confidential, in which it is declared that !. the governor has withdrawn only tenn | sporarily" from the board of directors.
 MT. Brady withdrew from the con- secern with some promptness when .the secretary threatened his summary dis a.missal from the goyernorship,- and the : Reynolds company. sent it's president to Washington post haste with tie assur- ance for Secretary Hitchcock that the governor had severed all connection with the company's ventures.
 Yet the prospectus issued May B, re- : ferring among other matters says:
 Extracts from correspondence were < submitted by the chair, conclusively , showing Gov. Brady's unwavering loy- .alty.
 Here is the pleasing way in which the Brady incident is explained:
 '.--- Last fall his second term of office expired and he was candidate : for reappointment. As there were other candidates a bitter political con- test ensued. However, his friends were legion and it was only necessary to or ganize to secure his, appointment which. Y was confirmed by the senate on Janu- ary 14, for another four years.
 His political enemies, President Roosevelt and Secretary Hitchcock have recently attempted to impugn improper =. motives to his connection with our com pany, and, in order to circumvent all < political machina tions, it was deemed advisable that Mr. Brady withdraw from our directorate, temporarily, dur ling the remainder of his term as gov- srernor of Alaska Thereafter: he will give his entire time and attention to the interests of our company < Secretary Hitchcock believes that the governor s. recently expressed desire to leave the territory for visit to the United States had for it's object the ssenlistmento of influences to keep him. ,rsef in office WALTER CLARK.

Mecca produced a considerable quantity Of early figs this season, which sold readily for twenty cents pound.

4 Sensible Suggestion,

One of the most sensible propositions as to the closing of stores comes from Tucson, where it has been proposed to close in the afternoons from twelve un- til four o'clock and then open up in the evenings until nine o'clock. This plan it is suggested would enable many of the ladies who do not like to do their shopping during the severe heat of the day to attend to it in the cool of the evening and would also open the stores when the shop and office men of the railroad are on the streets, thus afford ing them q better opportunity to do their buying.

Leyee Right Of Way Settled.

In the matter of the right Of way fer the levec through the properties of j.. w. Darlington and T. NJ. Molina, a set clement has been mutually agreed upon, i. w. Darlington reserves a landing on the river front, the rest of the block to be paid for by the government at the rate of $60 an acre, or about %3c2. 50 per lot.
 Settlement with MT. Molina was ar ranged upon the same basis.
 The only contention of ". Dors ringtOn from the first was that he be permitted to make the reservation he has now secured, for the reason that it constitutes the only good landing near Yuma, except that which is owned by the Southern Pacific Company. For this reason. and for the obvious reason that it is high ground, and adjOins the government experimental garden and the townsite, the block was valuable and would become moreso.
 As yet we believe it is no crime for a citizen of the United States to place what be deems to be the proper value on any property that he may happen to own. However, the matter has been adjusted amicably and satisfacto- rily to those immediately concerned, leaving no reason for further discus SiOn
