MORbWETz IS WELL
KNOWN IN ARIZONA
Named By President For Con-
sui General AT Large
Was At NOgaIeS.

NOGALES, Dec. ,17.-Among the
early nominations sent in by the Pres
ident to the Senate last week was
that Of Mr.. Albert K. Morawetz to the
consul general at large in the Ameri-
can diplomatic service. Mora-wetz
was connected for years with the
American consulate in NOgaIes,
Sonora, first as yice-cOnsul, and then
as consul. He was made vice-cOnsulI
when MIR. R. Hughs Long of Alabama,
was consul, and served through the
term of Mr.. J. F. Darnau, of Indiana,
serving some six years in the subor-
dinate capacity. When Mr. Darnali
retired Mir. Morawetz was promoted
to the post, and filled the same very
creditably several years, being then
promoted to the post of consul at
Bahia, Brazil, where he went about
two years ago. The new advance
ment speaks volumes fOE his effci-
ency in the service. ThSHe are five
such posts, and their incfm1eDG ex-
ercise -c!.i:se; @c:c::22!SS!cccS t.gIS1 ;;S-ts
nf the world, inspecting cnnsnlates
and advising consuIs and consular
agents. 1t is understood that Mr.
Morawetz will exercise jurisdiction in
Mexico and Central America, in which
event his many friends in Nogales
may see him occasionally.

the talented young man.
Griffenburg was arrested at Red
Rock in November of 1906 for steal.
ing a horse and buggy from Henry
George in Phoenix. He languished in
Jail last July, when he was released
and dropped out of sight as far as
Phoenix people were concerned.
Shortly after, Griffenburg appears
to have shown up at the county hos.
pital at San Bernardino, Cal, being
accepted there as q charity patient
from Needles.
Griffenburg was heard of at Cotton
where he Immediately became a IA
vorite of the social set because of his
talent as an artist, his sauve manners,
good looks and pleasing personality.
Cotton society people fell over
themselves in their hurry to make OF
him a social lion, the ladies especially
looking upon the &donis like young
artist with great Favor.
All went well until a few days ago
when Griffenburg disappeared The
next day six forged checks, on which
he had obtained the cash, were turned
down at the Cotton banks, and now
the San Bernardina officers are trying
to locate the clever aTtist-crOok.

Is DELIGHTED
With WORK IN
Old old dominion Dominion
Or. Ricketts, Visits Globe Mine.
Thinks Highly of Property
Says 1t Win Be Two or Three
Months Till Cananea Opens.

GLOBE, Lee. 1S.-'Better than we
expected" is the manner in which DIR.
l.. d. Ricketts, spoke Of the ore de-
vnlonnnanfs tho 18th lavaI nf the
Old Dominion mine last evening, after
visit underground late yesterday
afternoon. In company with former
Mine Superintendent n. S. Berray, III.
Ricketts, made an inspection of the
lowest workings OF the Old Dominion
and expressed himself as quoted above
For the little development work
which has been done thus FAR on the
18th" continued the doctor, the
results are splendid, but are only an
indication of what the Old Dominion
mine viii be when the 16th level is
thoroughly prospected."
DIR. Ricketts, came to Globe Sunday
evening for the purpose of appearing
in the United States court regarding
the five indictments which had been
found against him, one for perjury
and four for subOrnation of perjury in
connection with the alleged coal land
frauds in New Mexico. He was in
Cananea at the time he learned OF the
indictments and did not wait until
service was obtained on him, which
could not have occurred in Mexico
however. He appeared through Attor-
neys Rawlins and Little and the date
for answering was set for December
81. It is very probable, however, that
before that time the indictments will
be knocked out on demurrers, as has
been intimated by Judge Nave.
The doctor stated that it would be
two or three months before the mines
at Cananea would be reopened on the
scale upon which they have been oper-
ated previous to the recent curtail-
ment. Only about 600 men are en-
ployed there now by the Greene-Can-
anea company on construction and de-
velopment work. According to the
doctor, who is general manager of the
company, it will take at least the
time stated to get things in the shape
he wants them before resuming oper-
atoms.

junction of the Cananea-NogaIes road

The plant will be one of the most

world, will require about two years to
build and will cost about three million
dollars.

TUCSON, Dec. 17.-There are no

spects the tenderloin district which

outcome OF the closing order o. CnIeI

tional underground WORKINGS to the

DAMN CASE BEING HEARD,
Charged With Stoning Jerome REESE.
Last Sunday.

The case of the State of Washington
versus John Damn is being heard Il.
Justice Huffman's court this after
noon.
Damn is accused of committing as
sault and battery upon Jerome RescT,
a farmer last Sunday.
According to the testimony of Re-
ser, last Sunday at about II O'Clock he
saw Damn and a companion fishing
in the Walla Walla river where the
river crosses his lard.
Reser alleged that he had signs post
ed warning people from trespassln;s
and that he requested the fishermen
10 get off his land. This they refuse I
to do and Reser limited at future re-
course to law. This resulted in hea--
ed words, he claims. Later he said
when he was crossing the bridge SPAN
ming the river just above his land, the
fishermen, who were beneath it aid
whom he said, were indulging in
LIQUID refreshment hailed him. word2
alteration followed in which ne
claims Damn threw a number of rocks
at him, hitting him twice.

POWER FOR SCHOOL BOARDS
THEY MAY LEVY 10 MILL TAI
WITHOUT SUBMITTING LEVY
TO A VOTE.

School directors have the power un.
der the 1907 law to levy a special tax
of as high as 10 mills for general
school purposes without submitting
the levy to vote of the electors of the
district is the opinion of Assistant At
torney General A. ]. Falknor, given
Deputy State Superintendent E. B.
Dewey. A legal opinion was required
to straighten out the tangle il, the law
caused by the amendment in the code
last legislature. The amended law
gave the school boards authority 20
make the 10 mills levy and they left
in the law complete regulations pro-
viding for the manner of handling an
election for such tax levies. After
reciting the law the opinion reads:
I'm the amending Of the old law tn ,
legislature evidently failed to harmon
lie the remaining portion of the seq
ton after striking out the proviso. If
the board of directors, as is provide |
in the new law, have authority to make
the levy, any subsequent reference IN
the statute to the manner of holding
an election which was necessary under
the old prOviso becomes ineffective. AS
the law now stands no doubt the
board of directors could take largely
in an advisory way the provisions re .
tanned in the new law declaring how
the election should be held But the
grant of power to the board of direc
tors is so plenary that the attorney
general is of the opinion that the levy
of 10 mills on the dollar may be with
out submission to the vote of the
electors"

NILES PLAYS IN HARD LUCK
is RELEASED FROM JAIL ONLY
TO BE ARRESTED
AGAIN.

Eugene Niles, who was arrested
Monday by Deputy Sheriff Painter was
released today and this afternoon a
warrant for his arrest was sworn out
by Peter Werner, proprietor of the
Horse Shoe Bar.
Niles was not arrested on the charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses as first reported, but upon sus-
picion that he was the man for whom
Everett officials are looking.
Communication with Everett, how
ever, established the fact that Niles
was not the man.
Werner's complaint against Niles. is
that he obtained 50 from his saloon
on the pretense that he had secured
from Werner an order for a list of
habitual drunkards which Niles has
had published and which he is selling
to saloonmen.
Niles claims he sold the list to Wer-
ner and that the collection which was
made from the bartender, was legal.

OIL FAILS TO
SETTLE DUST
O. r. & FINDS FURTHER TREAT.
MENT OF RoADBED WILL
BE NECESSARY.

For some time the o. r. & N. COM
pany has been sprinkling its main line
tracks between Pendleton and Spokane
with a cheap grade Of lubricating Oil.
This is done in the hope that the dust
will be permanently settled along the
right of way.
While the plan is not new, being
used extensively in California and
other states, it is not meeting with
the success hoped for. The oil set
ties the dust on the roadbed but the
suction caused by the trains gathers
the dust from dry places along the
track where the oil does not reach.
A travelling man who arrived III the
city today made the following state
ment:
1.-The dust along the right of way be-
tween here and Pendleton is as bad
az ever. While at first the plan
while the oil was still fresh and the
rains continued the track will have to
be treated several times before it is
helped any by the process. And it
will have to be used more extensively,
too The dustiest parts of the right of
way are not touched by the slippery
fluid and little good can be accom-
plished until this is done.''
That the o. r. & n. company would
treat the roadbed several times was
the announcement first made but
whether this will be done in view Of
the lack Of success of the experiment
is hard to say.
Nothing would be more appreciated
by travellers using this road than a per-
manent settling of the dust between
Spokane and Pendleton, where it is
worse. perhaps, than on any line in
the country.

CELLO CANAL
NEEDS NEW LOCK
ENGINEERS FIND ONE NECES.
SARY IN OPENING UP co.
LUMBlA RIVER.

Many obstacles are arising to pre-
vent the completion of the Cello ca
nal. The last and greatest of these is
the fact that if another lock is not put
in at Ten Mile rapids the pressure GIN
the bottom of the canal will be so
great that it will be forced up by the
tremendous weight of water, which
at that point is 500 pounds to the
square foot
To prevent this, one of two things
will have to be done. Either a cement
bottom, heavy enough to overcome
this weight will have to be put in
or a lock costing $4,000 will have to
be built to equalize the pressure. In.
this way. during the periods of danger
at high water, enough water could be
held in the main body of the canal to
equalize the upper pressure.
Col. Roessler, chief engineer on the
Columbia river has submitted a plan
of the new lock to Washington. Eat
whether or not it can be acted on
without the consent of congress is a
question. If such action can be takdl
the bids are likely to be received ana
contracts let in about five or SIX
weeks.
Another obstacle encountered is
81 foot belt of quicksand which will
make it practically impossible TO
build the granite wall which was orig
inally planned. In some places 1t VIII
be Necessary on this account to build
sloping walls covered with rip-rap
overlaid with concrete. Col. Roessler
is now engaged in figuring out a way
to overcome this quicksand bottom.
The contracting firm having the ex-
cavating of the first section of the
canal has not yet finished their work
although their time expired seven
months ago They are how paying the
government inspectors $500 month
as result of their backwardness. 1t
had been expected they would COM
plete their work before the high water
came on this year but instead they Will
not continue their work until the. low
water mark is reached.

NEW RULING At LAND OFFICE,
Presence Of Special Agent Not Needed

Word was received today, at the lo-

not be necessary for the local office
to wait for the presence of a special
agent to set the proofs of land en-
tries before the United States COM

proofs before the commissioners at
