Wants Everything in Sight

The Flagstaff Gem in it's last issue has a lengthy article on the question of the purchase by the board of supervisors of a suitable site for a county hospital and the erection thereon of hospital build ing, the article also opposing the purchase of the Hawks building. We don't see any especial reason why the people of Flagstaff are in such a great hurry to have a new and substantial building erected for that purpose unless they are afraid if they wait awhile it might be located at Williams. And there is danger. We'll have the court house some day. too. Sometimes when we think of what Flagstaff has and receives as a result of the county business, we feel good deal like all the rest of the territory feels toward Phoenix. She has her init" out for everything in sight.

Gov. Kibbey on Taxes

'I want to congratulate Coconino county upon the disposition it has shown to properly distribute the burdens of taxation, and it will be the effort of this administration to see that other counties do the same. It is not to be hoped that it will all be accomplished at once, but we can, and will, keep on with our efforts.
 When property in the territory is properly valued the showing made will not only rebound to the credit of the territory, but it will result directly in the reduction of taxes now paid by our people and will relieve the owners of small holdings, who, by the present prac- tice, pay all the way from twice to ten times as much taxes as they should pay"

NOTES FROM CAMP THREE
Delayed in Transmission.l


 Patrick Johnston spent several days at the camp last week.
 Charles Lindstrom and Charles Johnson were visitors at Camp No. 2 last Sunday.
 Bear hunters from Alabama to Michigan followed big one from Saturday evening until late Sun day evening, but old Bruin left them in quaking-asp thicket on the Kendrick mountain. They will try again.
 Ben Downey, the Little Spring cowman, was here last Sunday, rounding up cowboys for the Flag staff rodeo.
 James Lagro was Williams vis- itor last Tuesday.
 Bill Donaldson and Bob Kinser left for the Anita country last week.
 One of the severest storms of the season struck here Monday. It rained and hailed for two hours. Hail stones were as large as canary eggs. Many thought the season over and all received good wetting.
 Ernest Long was an official vis- itor to the camp Wednesday.
 Lost-One Tommy Jones; last seen on the trail to Williams hos, pital. A jolly good fellow, and, if found, notify this whistling post. No reward offered; merely an ac- commodation to friends.
 From Friday noon until Tuesday night the camps were ignorant of the doings of the world. Did not know the war was over. Even the ticking of the city council on forgotten ordinances was lost. Such negligence by those carrying the mail cannot be pardoned. Even if we cannot read we like to roar with Sam"

Used a Shotgun

John Skaggs killed George Clark Monday evening at the Skaggs ranch on Beaver creek. The weapon used was a shotgun, loaded with No. buckshot. Clark was shot in the left breast, tearing his heart in pieces.
 There were no witnesses to the killing and Skaggs says it was done in self.defense.
 Clark had leased the Skaggs ranch and his wife was the only person on the place aside from the princi- pals, and she knew nothing of the affair until after it was over.
 Clark's pistol was found about two feet from his body. The pistol was half cooked and one chamber had been fired.
 Skaggs claims that Clark ran after being shot from where his pistol was found to where his body was found.
 There is considerable excitement among the neighbors of Skaggs and Clark over the killing. The latter was a young man who had not been in serious trouble before. After the shooting Skaggs went to Camp Verde and gave himself up to the deputy sheriff.
 No inquest was held, as there were no witnesses to the affair. Skaggs is one of the old settlers on the Beaver and heretofore has not had trouble of serious nature.- Sun, Sept. g.

TERRITORIAL FAIR
To Be Held in Phoenix Decem-
 Der 4th to 9th. 1905

Through misunderstanding some of the newspapers have said that the fair would be four days, but this is an error, as it will be held for six days-a whole week, and from indications this will be hardly enough. Remember the date Dec. 4 to 9, 1905.
 Several of the boards of super visors, acting upon the suggestion of the fair management, have ap- pointed county commissioners to assist in making the fair success. Graham's county's interests will be cared for by the Hon. Luther Green of Solomonville, and he promises the best mineral exhibit that ever left that county. w. H. Burbage of Winslow will see that Navajo county is properly represented, while John R. Norton of Phoenix and A. J. Peters of Tempe will look after the interests of Maricopa county.
 Applications for concessions are being received, and in order to care for these contracts properly P. A. Thoraldson has been appointed su- perintendent of permits and privi- leges, and he will have charge of letting all concessions.
 While in Portland recently Mir. B. A. Fowler secured the promise of the engineers of the reclamation service to send here for this fair the several models of irrigation works now at the Lewis & Clark exposi- tion, being the same as shown at St. Louis. These include the La guna dam at Yuma, the Southern Colorado project, the Roosevelt dam, the Salt river project and others, with many views illustrating the works MT. Fowler has agreed to act as superintendent of the gov ernment exhibit, and is now in Washington, and while there will endeavor to arrange for other ex- hibits that will be of interest to every one in Arizona.
 The premium list for horses and mules has been completed, and w. w. Cook made the superintendent of this department. Premiums are offered on all classes of standard and draft bred horses and on drivers, both single and double, gaited sad dle horses and, best of all purpose, farm teams and the best trained range saddle horse. This class should secure many entries, as every cowboy will want to show his favorite horse.
 A premium list on cattle includes all classes of Short-horns, Here lords, Aberdeen-Angus and Gallo ways, Holsteins, Jerseys and Guern- seys, with special premiums for herds of each breed and for the best grade fat cattle. Watson Pickrell of Tempe will have charge of this department.

QUARTZSITE QUARREL
Change of Receivers of AmaI9a-
 mated Gold Mines Co.

Attorney General Clark and Hon. Robert E. Morrison returned yes- terday morning from Tucson, where they went to attend a hearing be- fore Judge Campbell in chambers of an application far the removal of Solomon Pease as receiver for the Amalgamated Gold Mines com pany of Quartzsite. This is only phrase of the litigation which was begun some time ago in the court of Yuma county. Messrs. Clark and Morrison appeared for H. J. Bee mer, multi millionaire of New York, a former president of the company, while the interests of o. A. Pease and others adverse to MT. Beemer were represented by Thos. Armstrong, jr.. and George D. Christy.
 Back of all the litigation are charges of fraud and conspiracy. It is charged by Beemer that he was 'gold bricked." He claims that he entered into a contract with O. A. Pease of Quartzsite by which he was to pay $2, 100000 for some min ing property in the Quartzsite dis trict. He claims that he was to make payments as the mines yield ed ore. He asserts that in good faith he expended $3OO,OOO on ma chinery and in development of the property and that he paid person. ally to Mir. Pease $75,OOO. He makes the allegation that after spending this amount he discovered that the mining property. which was placer mine, was not worth a penny.
 He alleges that he was influenced in making the contract by his at- torney, S. s. Parks, of Chicago, whom he was paying $500 month for legal services. He makes the charge that Attorney Parks was the confederate of Pease in schemes to defraud MT. Beemer,
 Upon the discovery of this al- legged fraud and conspiracy, suit was instituted by Mir. Beemer at Yuma to have his contracts an- nulled and to recover the money he had invested,
 While the Yuma suit was pend- ing Pease, it is asserted, brought suit for receiver, leaving MT. Bee- mer out. In the absence of Judge Campbell the hearing was had be- fore Judge Doan, who appointed Solomon Pease receiver for the Amalgamated Gold Mines com pany. the company in which it is asserted Messrs. Parks, Pease and Beemer were interested and consti- tute the board of directors.
 The receiver then, it is said, un- dertook to take possession of the property together with the i'm provements. The men who are in charge declined to yield possession of the improvements, claiming them to be the property of MT. Beemer and not the Amalgamated Gold Mines company.
 The receiver then reported to the court and the men who were in charge at the mines were cited for contempt. It was this action which resulted in the hearing of the plea in intervention.
 All other matters in connection with the litigation were allowed to go over, but when it was brought to the notice of Judge Campbell that Receiver Pease was brother of O. A. Pease, one of the principal Iitigants, he ordered a substitution. Herbert Brown of Yuma was agreed upon by counsel for both sides and his appointment will be shortly an- nounced.-Republican, Sept. II.

UNDER TWO FLAGS
At THE ORPHEUM
THE THRILLING DRAMATIZATION
OF OUIDA'S NOVEL CLEvERLY
PRESENTED LAST EVENING.

The BUTLER Company now at the Or
pheum presented Under Two Flags"
a dramatization of Ouida's well known
novel, last evening. The house was
crowded and that the play was a sue
cess was evidenced by the frequent APP
plause which followed the exciting
periods. In the matter of exciting
periods, by the way, Under Two
Flags" as presented, can hold up its
head in a naughty manner. If it had
happened to be Under Three Flags" a
general alarm would have had to be
turned in. There was a thrill every
minute in fact the play was almost TOO
realistic.
But after all the plays the thing"
as the Prince of Denmark is said to
have remarked.
Everyone knows the story of Under
Two Flags"-of the not impossible, but
highly improbable young Englishman
who deserts his patrimony and enlists
in the French army in Algiers to shield
brothers crime That's Richard Buh-
Ter. He was repressive, not Oppressive,
but repressive. He stood round and
handsomed very much. The very bright
and particular star was Miss Brenda
Fowler as Cigarette. She had all the
necessary nerve that the part requires,
she knew her lines and was exceedingly
magnetic. The success of the pro-
duction was due very largely to her.
William Gleason doubled up but had
little chance to show his ability. Miss
Lillian Hayward as the Princess Vene-
tia Corona looked like a r al hallmark
ed princess, all right all right, and
down here in Hawaii we know what
real princesses are.
But the brutal and licentious soldiery
They were the real thing, Their uni
forms were truly on the French fashion
and they fired off their guns just as the
troops did at the battle of Diamond
Head.
"Under Two Flags" will be repeated
tonight and tomorrow nuight tt is
highly satisfactory,

OF Plant
DISEASES
DIR. N. S. COBB GIVES A HIGHLY
INTERESTING LECTURE ON DIS
EASES WHICH ATTACK VEGETA-
TION.

When the Planters Association re-
sumed this afternoon the walls of the
room We're found to be hung with col
Ored pictures of all sorts of cane and of
others showing the different diseases to
which cane is subject. They were pre-
pared by e. NJ. Crosse, the artist of the
Experimental Station, and were exam
ined with great interest and apprecia-
tiOn by the planters present. The pic
lures we're to illustrate the lecture by
DR.. n. 4. Cobb on the diseases to which
cane is subject.
The water colors, which were repro
duced in the Year 30 k, published for
the Planters Association by The Star,
showed wonderful amount of care in
their preparation.
DIR. Cobb in commencing his lecture
on plant diseases said frankly that he
had no "cure-all' for the diseases.
There was no such word which had so
such 4oint as that of "quack" which the
medical men of standing attach to the
vendors of nOstrums He could not Of
fer anything which would do away with
plant disease but he could counsel care
full study of the different diseases,
search for their causes and try and
correct them so far as that lay in hui
man power.
He referred to the losses through fun
gus diseases to plants suffered by the
awful potato rot in Ireland, the wheat
disease in Germany, the diseases to
vines in California and to the different
diseases of cereals in the United States.
The staggering figures. quoted from au-
thentic statistics, all over the world
were given by DR.. Cobb
Proceeding he took up the different
headings as follow:

elsewhere.
