The next governor gave an interview
soon after his election that rings true
to the Buchtel tyre we have had conf
dence in since the moment of his selec-
ton to head the ticket. He said: &

time in the life of every citizen when
duty demands that he lay aside his avo-
cation and take up the work of state
government. This emergency had
arisen at this time and demanded that
l accept this position. The people have
chosen me and hope to give them the
cleanest. the strongest and the most
wholesome government that can pos
sibly give. I shall be governor just
two years.
Don't you know" continued the
chancellor, that we have a great
amount of work to do in the next four
months? The republican platform and
my letter of acceptance pledged US to
eighteen different measures. l hope to
secure the enactment of all of them.
They include a railway rate law. an

on apples and peaches.
Before | went to California a couple
of years ago, really thought that the
land for fruit. Well they do raise fine
oranges and lemons, but in all the diff
ferent parts was in. positively did
not see peach or apple that could hold
candle to our Surface Greek fruit for
favor. You would see the finest look
ing apples and peaches. but they were
almost tasteless. In nearly all parts
visited in California the great lack was
water. After spending over year in
southern and central California and
knowing for myself the advantages and
disadvantages of that much talked of
country, l am led to appreciate our
Surface Creek country as never before.
While this has really been my home for
the past twenty-one years and have
owned property here ever since we first
arrived, yet my work has taken me in
nearly all parts of our great state. in
much of Wyoming. Arizona and Utah;
yet. taking all into consideration. hon
estly think we have the best chances
for getting ahead and building up homes
here of any place l know of.
While it is true some of our people
may need a lower altitude for their
health. and stay of few months or
year might be advantageous, yet my
advice to all such is, go slow about sell
ing out and investing in real estate in
California. have no donbt but Cali
fornia has the finest climate in the Uni
ted States and some things very pleas
ant, Yet you can't live on climate and
you will find the average Californian
watching for your dollar. Imet as fine
people there as / ever met anywhere,
but the conditions are such that to
man who has lived over twenty years in
hospitable old Colorado. you can't help
but notice the difference.
To my old friends whom have known
so long. and who have gone through the
hardships of pioneer life here and now
are getting homes, so you have pro-
perty worth something. let me tell you
to go slow about selling out and making
changes. for you may regret it later.
Many times have been so thankful
that had my little home here that l
could come to and have the privilege of
picking my own fruit.
Here the mountains are filled with
coal and timber, where the Lord stores
during winter an abundance of water
for making our wonderful crops. In
California you have the privilege of
burning fruit pits from the canneries
and are in luck to be able to buy them
for twice the price you can get coal at
our nearby mines.

DEMOCRATS WILL LIKELY CARRY

Hon. Frank Hereford Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, Is Here From Tucson on Business.

Hon Frank Hereford, of Tucson, is in Bisbee on business. Mr. Hereford is one of the prominent attorneys Of Arizona, ard curing recent years has lad considerable business in this sec good lawyer, Mir. Hereford is good Democrat and is chairman of the Cen tral Committee in Pima county.
 Asked last night scout the political situation in Pima county, MT. Here ford was very positive in the declara- ton that the Democrats were holding the advantageous ground this year.
 Mark Smith will speak in Tucson tonight" said MT. Hereford. land you may say that the ovation he will re- ceive will exceed all former occasions when he spoke in his home town. Pima county has been giving Repub- hcan majority for a number of years, out the outlook this year certainly in- dicates a victory for our candidates.
 Yes, we have some joint-statehood men in Pima county, both Democrats and Republicans, but do not believe very many of these votes will he cast for Ainsworth, the jointure candidate. He and Tom Fitch spoke in Tucson, but I do not believe that MT. Aims worth will receive more than fifty votes in Tucson
 "All feeling has been overcome in Tucson between the jointure and anti jointure Democrats, and all are work ing side by side in a determined eff fort to put old Pima county back in the Democratic column and in this expect we will be successful.
 Both Mary Smith and W. F. Cooper have for years resided in Tucson and beth are popular. Mir. Smith has not had a majority in Pima county for years, but it will be close this time. If Aipsworth gets over one hundred votes in the county expect to see a small majority for the Democratic candidate"
 MT. Hereford expressed his regrets at being called away from home importan. lIsiness and thus denied the pie. srre of being present at the great o'at-cn given to Mark Smith last nisl;. In his absence the Hon. A. M. FTfHklin was to have charge of the meet 2g.
 Mr. He -eford stated that the ma joity in Pima county against joint statehood would be less per cent of the vote than in other southern coun- ties, but he is confident that it will be a decided, safe majority.
 MT. Hereford will return home this evening and from now until election day he will be actively directing the Democratic campaign as chairman of the County Committee

 IN SONORA
Well Known and Prominent Citizen of MoCtezuma Pas ses Through Smelter City Enroute East.

DOUGLAS, Oct. g. (SpeciaD-
 seorge Woodward. the Moctezuma banker, merchant, mining man and rancher, arrived in town this forenoon on his way to Washington. D. C., to consult with the stockholders and di- rectors of the San Juan de Bautisra company.
 The directors of the company paid the property a visit a short time ago and were highly pleased with the showing that has been made so far and decided at that time to open up the property on an extensive scale and put large force of men to work on the property.
 Nr. Woodward was about twenty years in acquiring all the property now comprised in that of the company, and it covers an area of $50 acres, which makes as fine showing as any in that part of the country. He Is one of the wealthiest men in Sonora, hay ing resided in Moctezuma for many years. In addition to his mining in terests Mir. Woodward has large re- tail and wholesale mercantile estab- lishment that supplies all the sur rounding country. transacts banking business, has the leading hotel in
 Moctezuma, runs a stage line to Naco-
 zari and owns ranch of thousands oi acres with large number Of cattle, horses, sheep, etc.
 When seen today by a representa-. tive of the International-Americ MT. Woodward stated that in company with his mining superintendent, W. NJ
 Reese. he was on his way to Washing. lon to make the final arrangements for working the San Juan Bantista, now that it was an assured fact that one railroad line and probably two would be in Moctezuma in the near future. After a thorough inspection by the directors they were entirely satisfied with the work that has already been done and have decided to greatly add to the operating force and make 1t one of the leading mines of the district. The Cobriza shaft, double compart- ment one, is now down IFS feet and is in black oxide of copper that runs as high as 50 per cent in addition to being rich in silver and some gold. On the Rosario another double com. partment shaft Is being sunk and at the bottom the ore is very heavily mineralized, indicating a large ore body.
 Everything at Moctezuma is look. i ing fine and business was never more prosperous, and 1t looks as if there would soon be a boom on in the min. ing industry in that vicinity" said Mir Woodward.

 It is some time srnce MT. Woodward was in Douglas and he remarked on the many changes that have been made here and the number of new blocks under course of construction.

 "I tell you, Georgia is going to take front rank with the states of the union at Jamestown" he said today. 'I am ex- ceedingly gratfied over the cordial and enthusiastic reception given to the sug- gestion to reproduce Bulloch Hall, at Roswell the home of President Roose- velt's mother, as the Georgia building at Jamestown.
 "I have talked with nearly all of the members of the commission on this suo- ject, and they all favor 1t strongly. While, therefore, the matter has not been for mally passed upon by the commission, it is appaxpnt that favorable action is as- sured, especially since the proposition has met with general favor among the people of the state. wherever it has been discussed.
 "The action of the two cities, Cordele and Valdosta, in contributing $l750 to- wards the Georgia building, seems to ma to indicate that there will be no diff culty whatever in securing the required amount from among the cities of tha state, so that there Is little question that Buloch Hall as the Georgia building at Jamestown, is already an assured fact"
