Davenport and made a brisk effort to
re-light the red lights in Bucktown
which have been extinguished for
some time past. One of their number,
Gus Hinrichsen, entered Donna Turn

and proceeded at once to turn things
topsy-turvy. He was elected from the
place but re-entered and proceeded to
clean IL out. He took a smash at

possessed with such heavy load that
he got lost and strayed to the west
end of town. He was found yesterday
morning in the Schick'S corn shed at

were cut in q dozen places and he look

AUGUSTUS THOMAS TELLS OF ARIZONA
Unexpectedly Meets Father of the Girl Who Inspired
 "Bonita" at Denver,

DENVER, July 27.-Wnile here, Au gustus Thomas, playwright, unexpect- edly met the father of the woman who was the Inspiration for his Bonita in Arizona
 N He hadn't forgotten how hetcame to write the pretty play dealing with frontier life and when General Charles Cooper, U. s. A, called he was ready ito indulge in "reminiscences of old Fort Grant as if it had all happened but yesterday.
 It seems that the plot for "ATizo- na' was suggested by a little scanda. which was disturbing Fort Grant when Augustus Thomas went there for a vacation some years ago. The playwright stopped at the Hooker ranch, one of the showplaces of Ari- zona, which was not far from the fort.
 The ranch was owned by Henry Canby Hooker, a Los Angeles million aire, whose stock was so numerous that no one ever tried to reckon it's extent. The Rockers were wont to stay at the ranch in relays, and fl happened that Forentine Cooper Hooker, the daughter-in.law of Henry Canby Hooker. was there at the time Thomas made his visit He wa: attracted by her personality and eel ebrated her as Bonita, the delightful little frontier girl of Arizona Colonel Hooker is the original Henry Canby, except that the colone was a man of polish and culture, a real exquisite in fact, while the stage character is a rough and ready iron tiersmaB, with a good heart and a keen wit. MT. Thomas told Genera Cooper that he had preserved many snatches of Colonel Hooker's conver sation for use in his play. Frederick Remington was called to Arizona, tC Illustrate the sketch when Thomas had finished it.
 The Hooker ranch was called the Sierra Bonita" and is even now visited by tourists, who are amazed at sucii lavish elegance far from hu man habitation. Mary distinguished men are enrolled on its guest sheets General Cooper, the father of For enstine Hooker, took command oi Fort Grant after the visit of Thomas and. although he had heard the story of the play, he was anxious to verify lit by Thomas himself, and called for that purpose.

The next term of the Tempe Nor. nal School of Arizona will begin Monday, September [, and an annual
 Iy large attendance is assured.
 Many improvements are being made that will contribute to the com
 fort of the students and increase the 1 capacity of the school. Both dOrmfuu ries have been thoroughly renovated and painted and an addition has been i built to the girls nall, increasing ICs | capacity by forty-eight. This addition Irenders it possible for students to room alone for @ little extra expense, | if they desire to do so. The dormI- tory expenses are S10.00, which n- cludes board, furnished room, steam l heat, electric light, running water in i rooms, use of bath, parlors and pi- 1 amos. The dormitory also furnishes | all necessary bedding, towels, table linen, etc. The military drill is the | special pride of our young men and
 they are required to purchase a uni | form at an expense of about $16.00- Rooms and houses can be rented at reasonable rates by parties desiring | to move to Tempe for the purpose Of l securing school advantages.

HITCHCOCK TOOK ADVANTAGE
 IF OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED

whose judgment was to be depended upon.
 That Hitchcock was not made of the stun that, in Washington. cannot rise above a departmental clerkship, was readily shown. It is so generally true that it has come to be regarded as an established fact that once a per son takes the position of a clerk in Washington he has about attained his apogee. For him the public sees no possible future, while the general run of clerks become resigned to the hopelessness of their future.
 But Hitchcock was one clerk who was above a clerkship and it didn't take him very long to demonstrate his qualifications for better things. One of the men who early detected elements of leadershi pand executive ability in the clerk Hitchcock was George Bruce Cortelyou, in those days private secretary to President Cleveland. Cortelyou was influential in seeing that Hitchcock's unusual abilities were officially recognized, and when he became a member of President RoOseFelt's cabinet he lost no time in making Hitchcock an as. SLStdAt DOollldSLcI StnGidl. III LudN berth Hitchcock displayed conspicuous ability, especially in the work of org anization, and his reputation then be came national. It was his executive ability in outlining and perfectIng org anization that attracted the attention of the politicians, resulting in Secre tary Of War Taft making him his campaign manager. His compete sue | cess in that capacity then made him
 the logical man for the chairmaushiI i or the national committee, and the
 place was given him.
 Hitchcock is a man of most exem ! plary habits and a man who knows | how to take advantage of opportuni z ties that come his way. In Washing ton one has a chance to rub up against the high and mighty and Hitchcock | never passed up anything in that line when he was working as clerk and

Is synonym for cheap labor, and cheap labor Is synonymous with cheap mankind, They feel that once Japan is given an open door in Australia, the Pacific is practically closed to Great Britain. and not only to Great Britain, but to America.
 Discussing this question the other day. one of the ablest men in England said: ''Now, what can Australia do to maintain it's ideal of a white Aus tralia? By the end of August sixteen Amarican battleships will drop am chor in Sydney harbor. Already the Australian governments, federal and state, have voted half a million dol lars for the entertainment of the fleet. A warm friendship has sprung up be- tween the two white continents. An American cartoonist summed up the sit uation few weeks ago when he de picted Uncle Sam stretching his long arms across the Pacific, to the obvious 1 dissatisfaction of Japan, with the ev- pression. 'If Cousin John doesn't want this, guess I do.'
 ''The presence of the American fleet in Australian waters is going to be the best of Australia's loyalty. On the one hand she has the chilly indiffer. ence of Britain; on the other is the warm protecting hand of America, Be tween the two lies the peril of a vel. low invasion. Who shall blame her if she feels a temptation to yield her birthright for the sanctuary of anoth. CTS arms?"
 Nor Is the trouble of her colonies with the Japanese the only yellow peril' which gives Great Britain con icern. At a recent banquet Sir Robert Hart, who knows China better than any other white man, said:

DOUGLAS, July 27.-(Special)- Party utilization is not the only req son which actUates Judge Albert NJ. Sames in the desire he entertains that the republican national ticket shall be successful this coming fall. Another, and perhaps even greater reason, is that Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the republican national committee, and Judge Sames are personal friends members Of the same law class at the old Columbian university at Wash ingtOn and fellow frat" men. He and Hitchcock studied together in exam ination times and were two of a class limited in number that took a post graduate course at the same time. 1t was Hitchcock who invited Sames to join his fraternity and it was Hitch. cock who saw to 1t that Sames got all that was coming to him in the inItia- ton ceremonies.
