"A STRANGER IN TOWN"

One of the largest crowds that ever attended an attraction in this city witnessed the farce-comedy, "A Stranger in Town," at the opera house last Saturday night.
 This was undoubtedly one of the most laugha ble comedies that ever came to Williams. In a nut shell it was a peach. It was such a domestic mixup that no one could ever hope to go through it and esca pc insanity. but in the play it all comes out right-but not until the very end, and that is almost too late for poor Bartley Swift.
 No short description could des- cribe the many ludicrous situations that it contained. Bartley Swift has beautiful wife, who is jealous by nature. Her aunt is the most man-hating, grabbed piece of feminity that was ever done up in one package, and she keeps things humming when she once gets them started.
 'Bartley has a love affair in Tokio that he never told his young wife of, and in the mean time his old ! flame; becomes the widow of his wife's uncle, and comes home for a settlement of her husbands estate She arrives unexpectedly and finds that governess who has been sent for cannot arrive. She plays tha' she is the governess. much tt Bartley's dismay. She pretend' that she still loves him and arouseI the suspicious of. the young wife who is urged to act mean to Bart ley by the frigid old aunt.
 A ferocious French count i enamored of the widow. and h. -i-. ---:..>e-Th raal onvern esq turns up, and Bartley, wh started wrong, gets out of one pre- 'licament only to get into wors one. At the very last moment tn widow explains it all, and recon ciliations ends the play.

Leaving the legislature to, select the new locations for the territorial prison, now at Yuma, and the terri torial reform school, now at Ben son. the com mission recently ap- pointed by Governor Kibbey, and consisting of R. E. Morrison, J. J. Orme, Tracey Curtin, J. H. Ham mil and Andreas Reibel. Tuesday morning recommended to both branches of the legislature that these two institutions be moved from their present sites.
 The findings of the commission were given the council and lower house this morning in message from Governor Kibbey, who makes no comment on what they have done. With his message came a long and voluminous report given him late last. night by Chairman Morrison of the commission. -
 After setting forth that the prison should be moved the commission suggests that the legislature select either Florence, in Pinal county, or Kirkland, in Yavapai county, for the new location. For the reform school they suggest that Solomon vile or some point in the San Pedro valley, near Benson be chosen.
 Governor Kibbey suggests to the legislature that in preparing the manner in which the expenses of changing these two institutions the burden of taxation be distributed over g period of years in order that hardships U on nssme s at once and work
 The following are the reasons given for the removal of the prison from Yuma:
 First-The title to the ground on which the Lrison now stands is uncertain. :. "
 Second-The site is not oi sufficient area and there is no ad- joining land on which to work the prisoners.
 Third-Prison is inside of the city limits of Yuma. z-.ss.. .z-
 Fourth-Prison is in extreme southwestern part of territory and remote.
 Fifth-Buildings and cells are inadequate and out of date.
 Sixth-Priisson should be located where labor of prisoners can be turned to profit.
 Seventh-Adjoining 1000 acres of land. controlled by prison, most ly in bed of Gila; and Colorado rivers, and; not useful for any purpose. t ..si z,
 In the opinion of the commission the reform school should be located on farming land. where the result. of the inmates labor will make the school wholly or partially self sustaining, They also believe that on a farm the boys and girls could be taught useful trades.
 The governors message on the Bright Angel trail bill is as follows: Executive Department of Arizona,
 Office of the Governor:
 Phoenix, March. fl, 1907.
 To the Council: I return here with to you, without my approval, the bill for an act entitled "An act to amend sections 3998. 3999, 4OOl 40O3. 4OO4. 4O07 and 4OO8. chapter 3, title 63, of the Revised Statutes 1901, territory of Arizona, relating to toll roads, being designated on your rolls as council bill, No. v.
 "For reasons for not signing the bill, 1 embody in this message a copy of telegram which is self explanatory and is as follows:
 Washington, D. C.. March 1, 1907 Joseph H. Kibbey, governor, Phoenix, Arizona: I am advised that territorial legislature has passed a bill permitting toll road within the Grand Canyon forest reserve. It has been the policy of the administration to extinguish and refuse such privileges, and

 the administration, should become a law.
 (signed) "'E. A. HITCHCOCK, Secretary"
 Every member of the 24th Ari- zona legislature, with the exception of. one, who was absent. voted this morning to pass c. B. No. Y over Governor Kibbey's veto, an action that the records show to have been unprecedented by any previous session of the Arizona legislature.
 Not only did Governor Kibbey's veto fail to kill c. B. No. ", which grants Ralph H. Cameron posses sion for five years of the Bright Angel trail, but Secretary of Interior E. A. Hitchcock received lasting rebuke.
 :. Secretary Hitchcock instructed Governar Kibbey to veto-C. B.. No. ", and in presenting his veto to the council last week, Governor Kibbey absolved- himself of all blame but giving no other reason for his veto than the telegram received from Secretary Hitchcock.
 Cameron's victory is one of the most notable ever scored by an Arizonan in ap Arizona legislature. The combined strength of the Santa Fe railroad was unable to prevent his getting through a bill T c. B.. Mo-, v, takes out of the courts matters that are now pend- ing, and aflitby by it's provisions knocks out the powerful" Santa Fe and all it's principal claims-almost every :; toan tetn1on on which it bases its hoIes to .pissb Ca ameron from posses sion of the trail for five years under contract awarded him by the board of supervisors of Coconino county, of which Cameron was a member.
 Governor Kibbey's veto of the trail bill having been made a special order for this morning in the council it was taken up as soon as Chief Clerk Mauk finished read ing the minutes, and when the motion was put to pass the bill, notwithstanding the veto of Gov. Kibbey, it passed unanimously, President Doran, Dickerman, Hunt Scott, Hogue, Mcintyre, BlakeIy. Roemer. Weedin. O'Neill, Lockett and Cleaveland all voting to pass the measure.
 No time was lost by Chief Clerk Mauk, who has been one of the hardest workers for the success of the bill. getting a message from the council to the house informing the lower body of the councils action.
 Immediately after the passage of the bill, Cameron, who was with friends in the building, received many congratulations aud warmly thanked those who had helped him. Those who claim to know state that Camerofi's troubles are no means . over, and that the Santa Fe will now take the matter before the department of the interior.
 With but one more legislative day left the 24th session of the Arizona legislature was marked this morning and afternoon by the anxiety of members to get their bills as far advanced as possible in order to prevent their being lost in the closing hours.
 In the house this morning Whiteside several times failed in his efforts to get the recognition of Speaker Bailey that he might push bills in which he is personally in terested to the front.
 On two occasions Whiteside had the floor, asking that the rules be suspended and H. B. No. 60, pro-

COPPER MARKET
 NEEDS REST CURE
And Is Getting It, Says Euro pean Authority on Move
 ment of Red Metal

Boston.-IIn Tenort of market re- ce:ved from London Henry R. Merton & Co. English correspondent of American Metal Go. of New York, say:
 Leading European producers have at last been able to dispose of their accumulated stock of copper, though the prices realized are said to be fairly cheap. Chinese purchases of fine copper have been effected in fair lots and there IS still good in quiry. The American situation is puzzling. Notwithstanding all con sessions made to consumers. it would seem that producers have been unable to market any quantities of import ance with their home manufacturers and even the announcement Of dras- tic reduction in output of some Mon- tana mines has so far failed to en- courage purchases"
 Vivian. Younger & Bond also of London estimate that the accumula- ton of the metal IS between 10000 and 5000 tons. The chief European producers Rio Tinto sold a fairly large line of metal when prices were at their worst. Ultimately the lower lprices must stimulate consumption. The market. however, needs a rest cure and seems quit likely to get it."
