VISITING IN DOUGLAS
MIR. AND MRS. HENRY AsHuRsT, OF FLAGSTAFF, TOURING
 SOUTHERN ARIZONA.

- DOUGLAS, May 14.-(Special.) J.
 Mir. and Mrs. Henry Ashnrst, of Flagstaff, arrived in Douglas last night from Bisbee, where they had been visiting for several days. They will remain in this city until tomor- row, when they expect to go to Globe.
 Mir. Ashurst is one of the prominent attorneys of northern Arizona. He is now holding the ofiee of district at torney of Coconino county. a position he held once before. Mir. Ashurst represented his county in the legisia- ture ten years ago, when he was bare ly twenty-one years old. He later served a second term in the legisla- ture when he also served as speaker. He was a member of the council four years ago.
 Speaking of the conditions in north ern Arizona. Mir. Ashurst stated today that the country was generally pros porous and the sheepmen of that sec ton were unusually SO. MT. Ashurst's name has been mentioned as a prob able candidate for Congress in Ari- zona, but he says that he is not look ing forward to anything of the kind at this time. He declared that among the democrats of Flagstaff it was the unanimous opinion that Mark Smith should be again nominated for Con gross this fall. and he predicts that Smith will poll the largest vote this year that he ever received from the people of Arizona.
 Speaking of Douglas Mir. Ashurst stated that he was astonished to find such a modern city grov . up during the last five years. He had read a great deal about Douglas, but his read ing had never given him the idea that this city was built so substantially and on such modern lines.
 Why" said he, you have here one of the prettiest little cities in the southwest, with every public utility and convenience enjoyed by any city in the West After visiting the mines at Bisbee and seeing your great smel ters and learning of the rich mineral country south of you, am quite ready to predict that in a few more years Douglas will become the largest city in Arizona, and the most prosperous with the possible exception of Bis bee"
 MT. Ashurst is an old friend oi Judge Mcdonald. with whom he y.s | ited pleasantly today.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Is the Result of Prolonged Study and
 Deep Research

Marcopi-the wireless wizard-did not stumble accidently upon the prin- ciples of his marvellous invention.
 It was only deep and prolonged study of the cause of certain known phenomena in nature that he was able to produce the startling effect.
 Many people, in speaking of Hair Restorers, have a Way of punching them altogether without discrimina- ton.
 Herpicide is as different from other so-called hair restoreTs" and rem edies" as day is from night.
 It is a scientific preparation pre- pared for the sole purpose of destroy ing the scalp microbe that causes dandruff and falling hair.

SALTON SEA Is RISING
INLAND SEA MAKES A GAIN or NINE FEET DURING THE
 LAST TWO MONTHS.
Depth is Now Thirty-five Feet, and by Next Three Months Fifteen Feet More of Water Will be Added.-The Ranchers Becoming Nervous.

YUMA, May 14-Salton sea has ris- en nine feet in the last two months, with mighty wet quarter of year immediately in front. The railroad track, which was short time ago raised into the topmost peaks of the highest mountains obtainable in that section of the country, is elevated only about forty-five feet above the placid bosom of Yuma's deep water harbor.
 Photographer w. D. Smith, of the reclamation service, went out to Sal ton a couple of months ago to set some gauges by which to measure the growth of Southern California's aqua tic wonder, and he set them good and high. Saturday a hurry-up call came in with the mark of the Salton obser, yer attached to it. Mir. Smith re sponded with celerity, and a free pass over the Southern Pacific, as well he might, for when the hydrographer reached Salton his gauges, raised with such infinite and tender care, were making their final adieux to sor. rowing world. So Mir. Smith added some feet to the stature of his beloved gauges, and they are doing business at the old stand.
 Salton seas depth is now thirty. five feet, and the next three months will increase this by fifteen feet or more, as the flood season is on, and the Colorado's discharge vii be great during that period.
 About Thermal, which is only thirty feet above the rapidly rising sea, the ranchers are said to be getting uer' vous, for it is generally admitted that it will be impossible for them to achieve but indifferent success grow ing canteloupes at the bottom of the sea, even if it is fresh water sea.

cLOUDcROFT IS BUSY
AN ACTIVE SCENE IS NOW PRE- SENTED AT THE MOUNTAIN
 RESORT.
Success of Coming Season Will Decide Future Policy to be Pursued by the Phelps-Dodge Company With Refer ence to the Resort.

DOUGLAS, May 14.-(Special.)- )-
 Upon the success of Cloudcroft as resort this summer will depend the fu- ture policy of the Phelps-Dodge com pany toward the city above the clouds, says the Fl Paso Times. If tEe sea son proves a successful one under the new management, as there is every reason to believe. then the Lodge and other property at Clouderoft will be enarged to a degree commensurate with the great summer resort which the read will advertise and foster.
 Garnett King, general agent of the Southwestern, and W. l.. Edwards, tho new manager, returned to Fl Paso from Cloudcroft on Friday. MT. King states that there is great activity at the resort in preparing for the opening on June 1. In order to satisfy himself that the liyerymen and others were planning to meet the needs of the crowd, MT. iKng visited the livery sta bles and saw them filled with noun tain ponies, which will be at the ser vice of Cloudcroft visitors.
 "The electric plant is being made ready for operation, the Lodge has been thoroughly cleaned. Already the pumping plant is in operation. The lawn is the finest l have ever seen in Cloudcroft."
 MT. King declares that number of owners of cottages have men on the grounds cleaning the premises and preparing the houses for occupancy Manager Edwards will return to Cloud croft in short while to take charge of the Lodge.
 Returning, MT. King brought with him a number of Indian bows and ar rows, which were carried in the In- dian's scabbard, which was made of the pelts of wild cats. One pelt holds the bow. another the arrows, while third forms a strap which is thrown over the shoulder. MT. King is lover of Indian handicraft, and in, addition to being a student of the Indian has drawn several fine pictures of the red man.

PoRGRAM AT WILLIAMS CON TAINs MANY POINTERS FOR
 LOCAL CELEBRATION.

On his way home from attending the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias in this city, Jacob Salzman, the Williams merchant, was inter- viewed by a Phoenix Republican re- porter, to whom he gave the full pro gram for the observation of the na- tion's natal day in his home town and while nothing on so large a scale can be attempted in Douglas. a glance over the program will give some valuable hints to the local committee on the Douglas celebration.
 According to the Republican the preliminary program announced in cludes the following events: Balloon ascension, tight rope walking, bars, trapeZe, tumbling, three brother act, and general acrobatic work; Indian war dance, Moki snake dance and h. dian games, hurdle race. Front street; race of all nations, Front street, in ciuding white mar, Japanese, China man, Indian, negro, Mexican, Hungar- ian, Dutchman, Scotchman, French man, Irishman, Italian, Greek, Rus sian, Swede and Jacob Salzman; re- lay race, at track; ball game, Indian and white men; tug of war, Indian and white man; wrestling match, h. dian and white man; squaw race, quarter mile, five to enter and three to start; shoot the chutes, loop the loop. scenic railway, trick bicycle rid ing, bicycle race. potato, sack and egg race; flying machine race. greased pole. Prof. c. Ander will leap from the top of the tallest building in Will Hams without the aid of a parachute or any ether appliance; Indian snake aouoa rthtic dapca in DaviIion. har- becue. broncho busting, steer tying, and drilling match of northern Ari- zona miners against southern; stee- plechase, live pigeon shoot, fat mans high jump and skinny mans low jump and prettiest baby and most hand some woman; civic parade, prizes for the best lady cooks in Williams and girls under sixteen years.
 The big feature of the celebration will be a public wedding, and for this a purse of si00 is offered by the com mittee. and side purses follow, which include everything fer the bridal cou- pie. from a free ceremony to clothes for the children for the next genera ton, and free divorces and coffins for the contracting parties.
 The list also includes free postage for year from the postmaster, a case of champagne and unlimited beer from each saloon in town, and the choice of any doctor in town for year.
 If the Douglas committee could per suade one of the numerous June wed ding couples to postpone the happy event until the Fourth, there might be some show of having 2 similar fea- ture for the local celebration.

All-Steel Passenger Car.

The first all steel passenger car for
railroad, made in the United States,
was shipped by the Pressed Steel Car
Company Of Pittsburg, Pa, last week
to Atlantic City, where it was exhib-
tied at the convention of the Master
Car Builders. This week the car will
be taken to Washington, where it will
begin active service Immediately on
the Southern Railway. The car is
the first OF an order OF three which
was placed by the Southern Railway
as an experiment. If these three
prove successful, the entire passenger
equipment of the Southern Railway
will be replaced by steel cars. The
steel car is "a feet 6 inches in length,
&c feet inside length, 9 feet 10 inches
wide and IA feet 2 inches high. The
entire car is made of pressed steel,
and what little wood is used in the
trimmings is absolutely freproof.
Even the floor of the car is steel, 30
that it would be impossible for the car
to take FIRE. The car possesses many
advantages In addition to being
non .infammable, it could not be tel
escoped in a wreck, and the ends can
not be smashed in. The greatest dis
advantage is in weight. This car
weighs about Is per cent more than
the ordinary wooden day coach. 1t
is expected. however, that the weight
can be reduced about 3 per cent.

White House Is Costly.

White House expenses for the hs-
cal year ending June so. 1907, will
be fully twice as large as for any year
in its history, except 1908, when the
mansion was remodeled. The Sun.
dry Civil bill carries $llS,000 for ex-
peuses at the White House. OF which
$1,000 is for extraordinary repairs
in refurnishing and $4,000 for trav.
cling expenses of the President, his
attendants and invited guests. This
new item, which is without precedent,
is for the purpose of relieving the
President from the embarrassment OF
accepting free trai s from railway
companies. The total appropriation
last year was $4,000.
The furnishings Of the White House
we've new in 1908 and now are some.
what worn. Col. c. B. Bromwell,
Superintendent of Public Buildings
and Grounds, in itemizing the need
of extraordinary repairs before the
Appropriations Committee of tue
House, said:
with the appropriation requested
it is intended to practically refurnish.
repaint and repair the whole first
floor of the house. The public re-
ceptions and the public passing
through those rooms have defaced
them, and the tapestry and furnish
iugs have become soiled and should
be replaced. "
In the East Room Colonel Brom-
well estimates for washing ceilings
and painting with three coats OF oil
paint, and things OF that kind, SS,-
600 is necessary, and for replacing
draperies, regilding cornices and mir.
rors, reupholstering and regllding fur.
niture, $1,000 Is necessary. In the
Blue Room total of S5, 100 is needed
for the same purposes. la the Red
Room So. 800. In the Green Room.
for upholstering, $4,000. In the lob.
by, main halls and ushers office,
So. 200.
In addition $4,000 is asked for a
new tin roof on the entire house; also
1000 to replace the pavement in
the north areaway and $4,000 to re-
surface the roof of the east terrace.
Certain changes in the east terrace,
in order to make it more convenient
to handle large crowds at receptions,
are proposed, to cost $1,000.
A new tin roof for the White House
was provided for in the bill, but an
estimate for a new White House stable
was refused.

was d uluIOuie OuO, oHe SSN 10y
reached Fort Necessity rain began to
fall heavily. But the French pressed
on, and before noon of the Sd of July
they were firing upon Washington 8
defenses.
Their position was such, being upon
higher ground, on two slight eleva-
tions, and well sheltered by trees and
bushes, that they could cross their
fire upon the fort and en6lade por-
ton of it, without themselves being
exposed to much injury from the Eng
lish.
At little after nine o'clock in the
evening the French commander called
out for parley. Washington's fear
of treachery led him to ignore the
proposal at first, but his position was
so desperate that he complied the Sec
ond time.
Capt. Vanbraam. a Dutchman, the
only person in his troop who could
talk French, was sent to De Villier 8
camp.
After long preliminary talk the
Frenchman wrote his terms of sur
render by the faring light of a pine
knot, the rain drops spattering upon
the paper and rendering the writing
almost illegible.
The terms permitted Washington
and his men to march out with the
honors of war, retaining their arms,
stores and baggage.
Washington signed the paper be-
tween midnight and one o'clock, and
the rest of the night passed quietly
though the men remained under arms
At dawn of the fourth of July the
Great Meadows presented an animated
scene. The morning was fair, and
the sun shone brightly over the damp
green forest and the lofty ridge OF
Laurel Hill.
The horses and cattle belonging to
the garrison had all been killed, and,
burdened by the sick and wounded,
whom they carried on their backs, the
English were obliged to leave most of
their baggage and cannons behind.
Slowly they filed out Of the fort and
began their slow and wearisome march
for Wills Creek, the nearest English
station, 50 miles over the Alleghenies.
Sad must have been the heart of
Washington as he surveyed the scene.
All his hopes of military glory seemed
blighted In the bud, but whatever
may have been his feelings, no word
Of complaint or anger escaped his lips.
Without any doubt, however, it
was the darkest and most miserable
morning in his life.
He could not foresee the future, but
on that other day, when the bell on
the state house at Philadelphia was
proclaiming the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence far and wide, ard jubilant
crowds were shouting and throwing
up their hats at the glad tidings there
of, Washington must have thought of
the time when he left the walls of
Fort Necessity, defeated man and a

Mr.. Dickson, the author Of "Duke
of Devil May Care, published by the
Appletons, was recently elected Judge
of the city court by the reform move
ment in Vicksburg, Miss. He was
trying case one morning last month
in which five white men swore that
one negro came up and abused them
and finally assaulted them.
The negro, who looked much the
worse for wear as the result of the
fight, swore that he was merely re-
spectfully asking one OF the white men
for fifty cents, which was due for some
work. He said that two Of the white
men struck him.
II can never believe, said Judge
Dickson, that negro who was not
contemplating suicide ever msde an
unprovoked attack upon five white
men. l shall discharge the negro and
fine the white men s. EACH"
As the Judge left the courtroom
he overheard an old crippled darkey
remark
"Dat jedge sut'ny am color bline
