Oklahoma Western Officials
left This Morning to Inves-
tigate Conditions There.

Mcssrs Graham and Colby of the
Oklahoma Western railroad, after
investigating conditions in this city,
went to Muskogee this morning,
where they will look over the ground.
AS they have repeatedly stated, they
have not decided upon the location Of
their line, and are going over the
ground thoroughly before doing SO.
Vlnita has a chance to secure the
line, provided it is built this far east,
but Vinita will have competition.
Railroads are not built on sentiment,
but as cold business propositions, and

this city until they have gone over
the line. When they have done that
they will doubtless be prepared to
make this city a proposition, or else
to state definitely that it win be i'm

MARK SMITH TO THE
 INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS.

Mark Smith Is In CochiSe county this week closing two months stren- uous campaign all over Arizona Since the date of the convention. in Septem- Der. he has visited almost every town. village and hamlet in the territory and has come down to old Cochise, where he first located when he came to Arizona twenty-five years ago, to close one of the most important cam paigns, if not the most important, ever waged in Arizona. At Tombstone yesterday Mark Smith issued the fol lowing statement to the independent Republicans of this county on the statehood question::
 ITO the Republicans of Arizona l beg to say that, like the Democrats, they are intensely opposed to joint statehood. I know they wish to se- cure Arizona against it. When such stalwart Republicans as Foraker, Spooner, Burroughs, Carter, Gallinger in the United States Senate could join hands with the Democrats in that great body to save Arizona from utter ruin, can we appeal in vain to Ari' zona Republicans to join me in this final struggle for the preservation of our commonwealth from the disaster which threatens it? I am not asking Republicans to vote for me on any personal or political grounds; am simply entreating all Arizonans to vote for Arizona. No stranger in Washington can help her cause now however good or able or willing he may be-"
 | Mark Smith will not appeal in vain to the independent Republicans of Go chise county on the statehood que 5 tiJn.. A vote for Mark Smith is a vote against joint statehood. And the Democratic candidate Is thrice we' come in Cochise county this time where he comes more as a candidate ot Ar.zona for Arizona's best inter ests, rather than the nominee of any political party.
