His birthplace and his place of residence since his birth in 1877 Is Tempe. a town named and practically founded by his father in 1870
 His father. Charles Trumbull Hay den, died at Tempe in 1899. A native of Connecticut, he had just pride in ancestors who fought in the colonial and revolutionary wars. He was one of the first Americans in the south west, being a trader in New Mexico when his goods were freighted across the old Santa Fe trail through ever continuing vicissitudes of repelling nature and savage Indians. He was in California, too, in its early days, but the early sos found him again in the southwest, in Tucson. While on business excursions through Arizona he became impressed with the natural advantages of the newly settled Salt River valley There he founded what for years was known as "Hayden's s Ferry" but which later was given the name of the classic vale of Tempe. renowned in early Grecian verse. To this day the situation is acknOwl- edged the ideal town site of the valley. There Judge Hayden established him. self as a farmer and miller and mer- chant, water for his fields and for mill power being secured through a branch of the Tempe canal. now best known as the Hayden ditch. In Tempe he prospered, through the exercise of tal- ents of business sagacity, coupled with unswerving honesty and tenacity of purpose, ever honored by his neigh bors. He served as chairman of the county board of supervisors, as trus- tee of the Tempe schools for continu ing terms and was practically the founder of the normal school of Ari- zona at Tempe. being for the first years of it's existence president of the schools board of directors.

VERNON L. CLARK.

A man whom his fellow citizens have been pleased to repeatedly honor is Vernon l.. Clark of Phoenix. That the trust bestowed upon him has been merited, especially is we'll snown by the success of the Arizona territorial fair. during the last week of Decem- Der. Thousands attended each day and marveled at the completeness of detail and the ease of operation, though the paint upon the new build ings hardly was dry. Those who were informed, however, knew that the near approach to perfection had come through the hardest of intelligent work and that the credit in very large measure was the due of Superintend- ent Vernon l.. Clark. Through his ef- forts and those of his patriotic asso- ciates, Phoenix and the territory have been given model fair grounds, as well as race tracks pronounced by experts among the best in the Union. Mir
 Clark was born in September of 1861, near Stanton, Kentucky His father was a physician, who had seen service in the Mexican war and who had been member of the Kentucky legislature The son had the education of the schools of the state and in 1882 start ed for himself in an office of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad com pany- Then he turned toward rail- road construction work, his advent in Arizona being as a contractor for a large amount of improvement work on the main line of the Southern Pacific company in 1896.

He has become identified also with second vehicle and hardware company, with an ostrich raising en- terprise and with the Alhambra Brick company. which owns mammoth mod ern kilns a few miles northwest of Phoenix.

GOVERNOR JOSEPH Il. MsseY.

Tn Judge Joseph H. Kibbey Arizona has one of the ablest men who ever filled the chair of governor of this ter ritory. A lawyer and jurist, by mental predisposition. training and experience, he has brought to the Governors posi- ton qualifications such as render him an especially efficient servant of the people Since his assumption of office the affairs of the territory have not only been ably and economically ad- ministered. but he has taken the inia- tive in a movement for the proper tax ation of corporate property. which hitherto has paid most inadequately toward the support of the government. For a term, ending in 1S93 he was an associate justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona. During this period he pro- mulgated what since has been widely known as the "Kibbey decision" that defined, possibly for the first time. that the water for irrigation could not be separated from the land and that pri critics of appropriation proceeded out of the cultivation and irrigation of the land and not from the time of the talk ing out of a ditch. Judge Kibbey has been prominent in Arizona republican politics and even yet is chairman of the Territorial committee of his party. He also was elected in 1902 to the Leg islative council. He is a native of In- diana. born March 4 1858.

JOHN c. ADAMS.

Among the many who nave won success in the great southwest is John
 c. Adams, who was born in Kingston, Canada. about forty-five years ago. Tn
 1895, coming to Phoenix on a visit. he was so impressed with the wonderful possibilities of the valley that he de- , termined to make his home nere Since that date his name has been associ- ated with practically every move tend ing toward the prosperity of the val ! ley. He placed the utmost conf fdence in the future of Phoenix and invested his surplus funds without stint in realty and other forms of property. One year after his arrival in the city he had completed the erection of the Hotel Adams, the most imposing hotel
 building in Arizona to the present day. Eight months were required for it's completion, the cost exceeding $20O,- GOO, and since that time it nas been

 MT Adams is a man of affairs and
 his interests are by no means confined
 to his holdings in city property. He 1 is the owner of the Hotel Adams

 in this section, and a show place of

Mognett in cludes valuable business property on Washington, Adams and Jefferson streets. the large Arizona Sani.arium on North Central avenue and some valuable farming land northwest of the city. Till 1897 Mir. Mognett ranked as one of the most extensive cattle raisers of the territory, he and his brother owning ranches and as many as 1000 head of cattle on ranges in southern Yavapai and in northern Maricopa counties. His nome, on North Second street is one of the largest and finest private residences of the city. Though a democrat of strong convictions, MT. Mognett has cared little for public place. With his property holdings, however, it is nat ural that he should have a keen in terest in all that concerns the welfare of Phoenix. Hence it is most fitting that he should have been appointed a member of the city water works com mission, Q body that will have the re-. sponsibility of eXpending $500. .OO0 lately voted by the taxpayers of Phoe- nix for the installation of a municipal water system, that shall be in keep ing with the growth and dignity of AT1ZOna'S capital clIy. ms llnpOT- tant work has just been begun and upon MT.

CAPT. PROSPER p. PARKER.

One of the leaders in the cause of irrigation in Arizona is Captain P. P
 Parker of Phoenix. He has done good service for years in enlisting capital and settlers for the reclama- tion of waste areas of rich ground that should blossom as the rose' Even now he is laboring upon a pro- ject that will mean the watering of an immense tract of magnificent land that lies along the northern edge of the Salt River valley, a tract which, when irrigated, win be capable of supporting thousands of people, rais- ing the rarest and most profitable of agricultural products. Captain Park CT came to Phoenix in 1888. largely for the benefit of his health, which soon became robust under the smiling skies of the southwest. Ever interest ed in politics, in 1897 he represented Maricopa county in the Arizona assem- ply, where his ability was recog
 nized by appointment to the impor
 tant post of chairman of the commit tee on irrigation. in addition to mem- bership on other leading committees. In 1901 he was called upon again 10 represent his county in the halls of legislation. This time his honor at the hands of his colleagues was the best they could give, he being unani- mously elected to be speaker of the Twenty first Arizona assembly. His administration of the difficult office won him high praise, the fairness of his decisions meeting with the fullest support. In Arizona Captain Parker has been honored by election to be department commander for Arizona of the Grand Army of the Republic. He is a devoted Mason of high rank and has served in the office of grand com mander of Knights Templar in Arizona

JUDGE WEBSTER STREET.

To Judge Webster Street has come the distinction of filling the office of chief justice of Arizona, serving term of four years, beginning in Oc- tober of 1897.

Judge Street is a pioneer of Arizona, for he came to the territory in 1877, at first located. successively. in Prescott in the mining camp of Signal Mohave county. and in Tucson.

JOSEPH A. CORAM
President White of Bingham Con.
Tells What Coram Has
Done.
MADE POSSIBLE THE
DAWS-DALY COMPANY
Accomplished What Many Others
Had Attempted to Do With
out Avail.

President 2. L. White of the Bing
ham Consolidated Mining company is
O visitor to the various interests in
Utah OF the company of which he Is
the official head. President White ar
rived from Butte Monday evening, af-
ter spending some time In looking over
the properties OF the Davls-Daly Es-
tates company. Mr.. White and numer-
Gus other eastern mining men OF I'M
portance are interested In this late
Butte organization. and In speaking
about the property on Tuesday, Pres
ident White paid a deserved tribute
to the genius and ability of J. A. Co.
ram.
All Efforts Had Failed.
To Mr.. Coram Is due the credit for
bringing order out OF the fifteen years
or more Of litigation over tho great
group of mines included within the
ownership OF the Davis DAILY company.
For this number OF years Mr.. Coram
has been interested in the property.
Numerous attempts have been made to
consolidate the claims within one
group, but each time when success
seemed about to crown the efforts, some
vital prop was knocked from under and
the structure fell. Mr.. Coram, how
ever. finally succeeded in satisfying all
the heirs interested, he bought up all
the law suits OF years standing, and
made possible the formation Of the
company which is destined TO exert
such benefcent effect upon the min
ing life Of Butte
Own Magnificent Group.
It is doubtful IL any other one man
could have executed this coup, and to
Mr.. Coram is given the credit by his
associates. The Davis-Daly Estates

that the group is located right in the
heart of the city OF Butte The court
house, postoff1ce and many of the prom
inent buildings OF the city cover por-
tlons of the ground where operations
soon will be on IN full blast. Surround
ing the group are the properties OF the
Amalgamated people.
