HOBO HUNTS HEAT IN PRESCOTT
 LAUNDRY Weary Willie Narrowly Misses Blowing Up
 Boiler
lltom rne.d,y.. nally


 That inc boiler room of thc Pres co,t Steam Laundry ]. not total wreck, the rear portion of the Odd Fellows Hall building in ruins and n % noho' dead, |, perhaps due to the vigilance of Harry Heap. managing director of inc laundry company, who surprised man occupying the boiler room sunday night at l0:3O o'clock and chased him from the premises. The intruder had fire in the furnace with steam rising rapidly in the boiler when Heap entered inc place.
 Heap found, after the stranger made escape, less than a quarter of m inca of water in the boiler. With the large fire in the furnace and steam rapidly rising an explosion would have ccr. tainly followed in very short time had not Heap appeared on the pre- misc-.
 When Heap entered the boiler room sunday morning he saw marks in the room showing where a man had been lying during the night. He questioned the engineer in cnargc of the room and he said that ho had not noticed anything unusual when he arrived that morning. Further investigation showed beyond doubt that the room had been occupied by some one during the night. Manager Heap asked one of his employees to watch the place Sunday night. Heap retired as usual at 10 o'clock and after falling asleep was awakened by his cmploye, who in form him that he had seen smoke com. ing out of the boiler furnace stack. He immediately dressed and arming himself with a Colts repeater, hur ricd to the laundry.
 Heap found the boiler stcaming as reported. He entered the front door of the laundry and advancing cautious ly to the boiler room in the back en l. suddenly turned on the electric lights. Opening the boiler room door nc saw n man hurried climbing through the back door. He fired three shots of his repeater, none of which lodged in the fleeing form. Hastil, jumping through the back door, he gave chase through the alley but the fugitive proved too fast sprinter for him and disappear ed in the darkness at Union street.
 Heap returned to the laundry boiler room, with his repeater still ready for action, and on entering was amazed to find steam rising in the boiler with only very small amount of water He hurredly banked the fire and turn cd water into the boiler. and locked the doors of the place, leaving al watchman in charge.

DEVELOPMENT OF
 PLUMED KNIGHT PLANNED

TUCSON, Oct. li.-L. D. Chillson. one of the oldest and best known min. ing men in the entire territory of Ari. zona, came in yesterday from his prop. erty in the Pima mining district, known as the Plumed Knight, where he had been for the past fe wdays, in. specting operations by the force of men employed and laying plans for in. creasing development.
 Something over a year ago, when, Following the panic and the fall in tnc price of metal, properties in this sec. ton generally closed down, the Plum cd Knight was one of those affected. With the gradual return of business conditions to normal, this property, which has always been A steady and paying producer. was reopeued for de. velopmcnt and production work, a Force of men going Co work some time about the middle of September. A hoist has recently been added to the equipment and the force is now work ing at the lO0-foot level. From the 8o'foot level crosscut was taken from the immense vein of solid ore which was exposed at that depth, and MT Chillson is of the opinion that, Following crosscutting at the 100 foot level, which is soon to begin, a much larger vein will he encountered.
 Operation as well as production is being carried on and more than a car load of ore, of apparent high grade, is now on the ground awaiting shipment to tho El Paso shelter

FIGURES FORETEll ELECTION N OF
 CAMERON
Hoval Smith Complies Majorities Of All
 Counties

BI-BEE. Nriz. Oct l7.-llo,oi smith. chairman of the Republican Territorial Central committee today gave out ibc following official state mcnt ou tbc .'au. of the campaign to date.
 |" From most reliable reports obtain able from every county in Arizona wo are justified iu claiming election of Cameron over smith by approximately 1000 plurality
 "f believe the estimate is in every way conservative. From the mos, re. liable data obtainablc Cochise county will not give Mark smith more than 2jO plurality agains, SSl in 1906. The tijc is setting stronger towards Cam cron every day and we expect an even break at least when election day comes. The figures sent out now are on reports to date.
 Apacac will give Cameron lG0 plurality. Geronimo which gave Smith 1lj plurality two years ago will give Cameron l2j. In Gila, which Smith carried by 3i7 in 1901, Cameron will get an even break. Graham will cut smiths majority from 306 io not ex cccding l2j. Marcopa will change from 323 plurality for Smith to jO for Cameron. Mohavc will give Camcran 7o over Smith. Navajo will give Cam. crnu no worse than an even break, with chances favoriug from 90 to 75 plurality
 "ln Pima. Cameron will not get by jo votes as many a> Cooper. who was very popular in his home county but his plurality will not hc less than 300. Pinal will give Cameron lO3. reversing a Smith plurality of -. santa Cruz poll shows smith will carry by not ex. cccding twenty votes. Two years ago he beat Cooper IFS.
 Reports from Yavapai show Cam cron ahead by not less than 100. The trend is heavily towards Cameron. Yuma. normally Republican, is espec. ially enthusiastic over Cameron and will give him not less than 200 over Smith.
 Again lei me repeat that this es. innate is in every way conservative. The figures for Cochisc will in all prob. ability be revised before election day showing that not only Cameron, but the entire Republican county ticket will be elected.
 Likewise the reports from the north are very conservative. I am only claiming Coconino, Cameron home county for him by l2j. That is from a poll to date. When all the returns are in we expect Cameron figures to show at least l75 plurality over Smith"

ARIZoNA's OPPORTUNITY.

lt is grand opportunity wnich is offered to the people of Arizona on November T. For twenty years or more for some reason which appears very strange, now that one looks back over the record, the people year after year have sent back to Washington one Marcus Aurelius smith as the ter. ritorial representative in congress. Except for the four years when Grover Cleveland occupied the White House, from 1893 to 1897, Arizona's delegate has been out of harmony with the party in power which has given to the nation its greatest period of prosper. ity, twelve years of national develop. ment, the marvel of all the nations of the earth. For some strange reason the sturdy Amerieanism of the terri tory has clung to the fetish of failure personifed in Mark Smith.
 The result has been in accordance with the law of harmony. Continual ly at war with the party of accom- piishment, Arizona 's delegate mas been unable to accomplish anything. Today with record of twenty years pnnetured, he is again the candidate of his party. That he realizes him. self that at last the spell is broken, and that the people of Arizona have decided that the office of relegate shall no longer be treated as a charity sine. cure, is manifest in the rage with which Mark Smith has turned upon the press of the territory.
 Statehood assured is 10 be doubly assured by the election of Cameron. Following statehood great things are to be accomplished. The people of Ar. izona have determined on their ac. complishment by getting in line with prosperity and ont of alignment with calamity Mark Smith knows it. The syndicate press knows it.
 Hence this weeping and wsilinp and gnashing of teeth.--Arizona Gazette.

Forty years ago Governor Fletch- CT. addressing a message to the Leg islature, said:
 "I suggest in any disposition you make of this road there be reserved the right of the State to regulate the charges for carrying freight and passengers, and that penalty be an- nexed for exceeding such rates. It Is not an inappropriate occasion to add, in this connection, that so far as you have power over the several railroads by existing circumstances. this right ought to he reserved to the Legisla- ture and thus as fully as possible pro vide for the protection of the people from exorbitant charges on the part of these corporations. which have a monopoly of a business that might be used to the great detriment of the people"
 At that time the State practically owned every mile of railroad in Mis- taken actual possession He was op- ing operated by companies, belonged to the State by virtue of long existing default on the bonds which the State | had issued to the companies to aid l apsi rictnn Foreclosures were inn ' pending in all of these cases. Nothing | stood in the way of seizure save the question of future policy. Should the State take charge of the roads which it's money had built and run them !? It may seem strange. but not even minority sentiment supported the af- l firmative.
 Of the s31,1S5, ,000 fer which the State became responsible through aid of railroad construction. Missouri. af- ter years of legislation and waiting, got back about two-fifths But the State also acquired the conceded right to regulate rates on freight and pas senger traffic To the statesnanship of Governor Fletcher Missouri owes this wise reservation of the right to regulate.
