 PHOENIX, June 5.-To angle for bass and trout in oak creek, Delegate Mark Smith arrived in the city with MT. W. H. Brophy. manager of the Copper Queen store at Bisbee. They will spend two weeks on Oak creek, where the fishing Is the best in the Southwest.
 Since his return from Washington. D. C.. Delegate smith has been in the southern part of the territory and in Sonora to look after mining interests. He reports more mining being done in Sonora at the present time than ever before.
 statehood Is hardly a fit subject for discussion,' said Delegate smith this afternoon, but I will say that the people of this territory should al ways be on their guard and ready to meet any attempt that may be made to force us into iointure.
 Various reports are in circulation regarding the plans of the republican administration with regard to the dis position of the territories. One of these reports is that they will renew the fight at the next session, and seek to force us in.
 T do not credit the statement that Senator Foraker has decided to dis continue his fight in our behalf, and allow the supporters of jointure in the senate 10 carry out the plans he blocked so completely.
 Regarding national politics, there is not much that I can say. There is much uncertainty regarding the nominees of the two great parties. The republicans are broken into fac. tions, and it may result in the cleo

Recognizing the importance of river observations in Arizona during the periods Of flood. the Chief U. S. Weather Bureau has authorized the es- tablishment of a River and Flood Warning Service for this Territory, beginning on May Ist 1907. The River and Flood-Warnins Service of the weather bureau. inaugurated in the early '70s.-haying been the means of saving hundreds of lives and property to the extent of many millions of dollars.-now practically covers every state and territory in the United States-a service of this class having but lately been establish ed in western Texas and New Mexico with great success.
 The Arizona River Service com prises the territory embraced within the Colorado river and tributaries and the Gila river and tributaries, un- der the general supervision of the Official in Charge, Denver, Colorado.

M'GOVERN ADVANCES
 ID COAST DIVISION
To Be Succeeded at Tucson, Arizona, By W, H.
 AVeriII.

TUCSON, June 5.-It is announced that Superintendent w. A. McGovern has been transferred from the Tue son division to the Coast division. Mir. McGoyern will be succeeded by W. H. Averill, formerly trainmaster of this division, but at present assist ant superintendent of the San Joa- quin division.
 The announcement came as a sur prise and although it is a decided promotion. MT McGovern is not back ward in saying that his personal preference would be for Tucson since he has formed strong attachment half years residence here.
 MT McGoYern succeeded Thos. R. Jones and assumed charge in Novem- Der, 1904. Previous to his. appoint ment he filled the position of assist and superintendent of the Los Ange- les division. He entered the service of the Southern Pacific company six years ago at which time he was train master of the Salt Lake division, with headquarters at Winnemucca, NeY.
 Dnring his sincHmbency thereHEaye been very marked improvements up- on the five hundred miles of road under his charge.
 The relaying of the division with heavy steel has been completed and practically all wooden structures in the way of trestles, bridges or cul- verts have been replaced with iron and concrete. There have been a number of new station buildings erected, chief of which are the new passenger and freight depots in this city.
 Speaking Of these Improvements, Mir McGovern said to Citizen re- porter: q have been fortunate in securing for the Tucson division a much larger appropriation for im- most any other division upon the system. The betterments were need ed and the reult of the expenditure ha been to make thi division one of the best in general equipment on the entire system. We have in the last eighteen months substituted entirely new motive power in both freight and passenger traffic for that in use previously and the new locomotives are of the latest and best patterns.
 Besides the depot improvements at Tucson and at other points along the line there have been constructed round houses here, in Lordsburg and at Yuma. The local freight and pas senger facilities at Tucson are the best. on the line between Fort Worth and Portland, not excepting Fl Paso or even Los Angeles.

ton of a democratic candidate to suc- ceed Pressdent Roosevelt.
 q have found Arizona enjoying greater prosperity this year than ever before. I was in Bisbee and the trouble there seems to be about over. Tucson and Douglas are busy cities. and the country surrounding them ap- pears in prosperous condition.
 "I expect- to remain in Arizona un- til the next session of congress, but will be in Washington early to feel the situation and learn, if possible, the plans of those who are to be constant ly feared when the autonomy of Ari- zona is in question.
 Speaker Cannon will doubtless be just as determined as ever to join Arizona and New Mexico, and if there should be any weakening in our forces it might result disastrously for this territory. It behooyes us to be con stantly in our guard"
 Delegate Smith did not care to dis cuss the Ananias club, to which Pres ident Roosevelt has elected so many prominent members during the past few months. He did not believe the ethics of the occasion would justify him in expressing his opinion.
 Delegate Smith appears in the best of health, and so expressed himself today when greeted by numerous friends, who shook his hand and re- peated the territcry's thanks for what he has done 10 keep Arizona from under the yoke Of New Mexico poli- ticions
 For two weeks Delegate Smith, Brophy and others who make up the party, will camp on oak creek, spend ing their time in fishing and hunting.

RAISING Situation.

Young Harwood's Cousin Evelyn
had invited him down to her country
place to stop over the holidays. He
arrived just before dinner, to find that
he had left his golf clubs behind him.
1t was most exasperating; but his
cousin comforted him somewhat by
promptly offering the use of her clubs.
The next day he started early for the
links with Evelyn's husband, but in an
hour he was back again. Were the
clubs so bad?" she inquired; couldn't
you finish the game?" He answered
shortly that he had not cared to finish
the game-Of course there was moth
ing the matter with the clubs. When
Evelyns husband came home for
luncheon at noon she questioned him.

asked; didn't the game go smooth

wonder he isn't happy. He was pre-
pairing to tee Off at the hole in front
of the clubhouse, with lot of girls on
the veranda watching him. He picked
up your bag of clubs to take out the
driver but it was caught in some
way, and he turned the bag upside
down to shake it loose. The driver
tumbled out then, and with it came

your green veil, and that little ivory

wonder his feelings are somewhat
bruised ?"-Harper's Magazine.
