AFRAID or THE hooDoo.

superstitiovs Negroes Fled Until n
Was Removed.
Deputy Constable Frank Fem Of
Houston. Tox.. went the other after
noon to g scuts writ OF forcible ejec-

took with him two negroes who we're

was atSe:. a few mir tes and when
he returned his negro, were not to

about two blocks away moving at .
very swift gait
Thinkir = that perhaps the men had
stolen something, he took after them.
When stopped the negroes said that
they wor not work In that house,
that It VS. hoodooed. Being urged
they told him they would return II he
would go into a certain corner OF the
house and remove the hoodoo. which

The officer found the bag 1t con.

and hairrins. The woman said she
could cast a spell over her enemies

The negroes would not return to

misgivings as to whether or not II
would be safe to touch anything in tho
house.

IS IT TOO LATE?
The Time Element an Important One
 to Phoenix.

 To the Editor of the Republican:
 Sir-There is an old saying that eft is never too late to do good" but it is sometimes too late to do the most good That is the condition that will soon be confronting the Salt River valley. Much has been said about what should be done and what will be done but nothing has been done ex- cept talk.
 Many people-in fact the majority think the only thing necessary is mon ey in order to advertise our wonder ful possibilities but I want to say there is another element equally if not more important than money and that is time. I speak from experience. have devoted ten years of my life to this work of giving publicity to va rious projects and have advertised everything from a university to South American coffee plantation, and invariably the time element has proved to be the greatest drawback.
 By the time the average community, board of trade or corporation is work ed up to the point of advertising it is too late to accomplish more than half the good that could otherwise be ac- -complished Time is one of the most important clements. Any man who has had experience with this work will tell you that he can secure greater results with an appropriation of $5.0GO and be given six months time than he can with $10,000 and be given only three months time.
Arizona republican., 1905-04-02

In order to properly advertise this valley a good man should be placed in Los Angeles, as has been suggested, but I consider it far more important to place one, or even two, in St. Louis and possibly one in San Antonio I have operated colonization projects out of both places and know that it is simply marvellous the results that can be secured in St. Louis. It is the most fertile field in the United States for our purposes. But it is useless to place men there without fully equip ped home office in direct correspond ence with thousands of people in those middle states. This can only be done through general advertising and this takes time. It takes time and the best of judgment to prepare and place ad- vertisements in the proper mediums to reach just the class we wish to reach and it requires still more time to con duct the heavy correspondence that will result. It takes time to prepare booklets and folders describing our resources, and time to formulate the plan of campaign.
 If the board of trade takes hold of this matter in earnest st it's next meeting and should it find but little difficulty in raising $5.00O or $10.OOO to pursue the work. it will then require every moment of time from now un- til fall to place the business on prop CT footing. It is absolutely necessary that this money should be raised and also that the hearty cooperation of the railroads be secured in the way of concessions on special thirty-day round trip tickets. If this be done at once there is no reason why we should not have special excursions of home seekers and investors running into Phoenix every fifteen or thirty days next fall and winter. 1 firmly believe ten thousand people can be brought here, many of whom would remain permanently. If. however, they but come and go again, each one would spend at least $10O during his stay in the valley, which would mean just one million dollars dropped behind Can We invest $10, 900 to better ad- vantage? More than this has been done in other places. We have greater in ducements to offer, so why not we? San Antonio spends from $25.000 to S50.000 and claims to secure one hun dred thousand visitors annually.
 Time is the most important element.

PROSPERITY IS COMING.

Coming events cast their shadow
 before" is 2n axiom which is well ex-
 enplified iH the case of the growth
 cf Phoenix. The eyes of thousands are
 how turned in the direction of Phoe-
 nix and the Salt river valley. Word
 has gone forth that there is a won
 derful country on the eve of great
 prosperity and thousands are prepar- ing to leave the iCv and blizzard
 stricken regions of the north and east and share in this great abundance and enjoy the balmy climate for which the Salt River valley is becoming far famed. Already the board of trade is
 being deluged with letters of inquiry in regard to farming and business op- pcrtunities New firms are engaging in business and those already estab- lished are enlarging in order to be in a position to get their share of the coming wave of prosperity. This as- s2rtion is borne ont by the facts in relation to the growth of one of the leading firms of Phoenix. the Phoenix Printing Co. The gentlemen who com pose this firm have been known in the valley for some time; the senior member being MT. Geo s. Irwin. well known as the editor and publisher of the Mesa Daily Free Press. Chas C. Bower, tEe junior member is well and favorably known in Phoenix and vi cinity.
 Though the business has been estab- nshed only few months it has already attained remarkable growth and the quality of their printing is in few cases eCual,ed and never excelied This is- shown by the steadily increas- ing patronage, many of the leading business houses of Phoenix having all their printing done at an office where they are assured of an up to date job Gona promptly and at a reason able price. The Phoenix Printing Go. now issues several regular weekly publications in addition to their regu- lar catalogue and commercial work The new Phoenix city directory to be issued shortly is now in their hands and lids fair to eclipse all previous publications of that character in size ] and quality of printing The great bulk of catalogue and book work which has hitherto been sent out of the valley on account of lack of fa- cilities and competent workmen to | turn out a first class job has caused | the Phoenix Printing Co.,, to install at | a cost of over $4OO0 the latest model of | a Mergenthaler linotype machine and ! there is now no need of any printing i being sent away from Phoe- | nix. The inside mana cement of the | office is in the hands of MT. Fletcher

IN MEMORIAL.

At 30 D. m.. March 31 1905. the angel of death entered the happy home of our friend and fellow townsman, MT. Fred Warren, and took therefrom it's choicest flower. Mrs. Warren. whose early death we deeply deplore. was born in England thirty-five years ago. At the age of three years in company with her parents, she moved to Chi cago, H., where her early childhood was spent. until 1886. when the family moved to Arizona, where they have resided ever since. About eight or nine years ago Mrs. Warren graduated from the LamsOn business college of this city. Shortly afterward she was united in marriage with Mir. Warren
 Their married life has been one b of pleasure and few, if any, clouds dark ened their pleasant home. Only a few days ago Mrs. Warren was taken vio- lentIy i'll and although she had ev- erything that medical skill could sug- gest and that kind and loving hands could do, still she grew worse. and just as the first April morn was about to be ushered in her soul took it's flight to that land where pain and suf- fering is unknown, and where love and harmony shall reign forever. Bessie. as she was familiarity called by her and friends. was one of the noblest of women. To know her was to love her. Possessed of a sunny and cheerful disposition she naturally made friends of all with whom she came in contact The sympathy of this community goes out to the bereaved ones, and especially to the lonely mother and the bereaved husband who so early in life has been bereft of the woman of his choice.
