There were three candidates for the vacancy. Charles A. Arnold of Phoe- nix and General Thomas F. Wilson and MT. Wakefield of Tucson. Mir. Arnold had the endorsement of the members of the territorial admins tration and General Wilson had the backing of a considerable part of the joint statehood element of Tucson. though that was divided between him and MT Wakefield. who. however. had the more powerful personal influence of United States Marshal Daniels.
 Mir Wakefield is an old resident of Pima county. where he was engaged in the cattle business. and for years he had taken an active part in the politics of Pima county. Tn 1898 he was elected sheriff of the county. be- ing the first republican in many years to secure that lucrative job. He has more recently been connected with the city administration.

ippi reservoirs. The congress
sional act was passed in March,
1905, the measure requiring that
the dam must be built within
three years.
A corporation, consisting of
local people, was organized for
the purpose of developing and
utilizing the power and trans
mittlng it to desired points, the
name Of the corporation being
the Beltrami Electric Light &
Power company. This corpora
tion has been quietly acquiring
the land that would be damaged
by the overhowage from the
dam, and has at last completed
gaining possession. The task
was difficult one, many of the
owners Of different small tracts
living in remote parts of the
country.
It is the intention of the pro-
moters of the power company to
install complete plant at the
site of the dam-one that will be
large enough to properly care
for any manufacturing establish
ments that may be located in this
city. The power is estimated to
be $4,000 horsepower, and can be
utilized for any purpose. It IS
the intention to transmit the
power to the city by means of a
high.tension line, which will be
eight miles in length, and right
of-way 100 feet wide has already
been secured from the site of the
plant to the city limits.
The work Of building the dam
will be commenced just as soon
as the plans are completed and
the necessary material can be
gotten on the ground. The plant
will also be hastened to compile
tlon and the machinery installed
for transmitting the power over
the lines that will be constructed.
1t will probably take a year to
! complete the work, ready for use
of the power.

While the Bemid j fire depart
ment had no representative at

the local department. is a mem
ber of the association and will
probably participate in the
tournament to be held next June.
The statement that Remidii
won the banner for the associ-
alton coupling is somewhat err
roneous. This department. won
the coupling contest last year,
but the prize was cash. The
banner is awarded for the cham
pionship hose race. Bemidii
has won this banner twice in sue
cession, and is the permanent
possessor of the bunting, as we'll
as another of the old association.
While little interest is being
taken at present in the forth
coming tournament, it is more
than likely that a way will be
provided whereby the fire boys
can attend.
