 Master Emil Ott was pleasantly sur prised by his schoolmates on Monday afternoon, this being one of the last days in which he will take part in the school work before his departure for California. The little affair took place at the school house, the surprise con sisting of an hour or so of games and recreation, interspersed with the serv- ing of light refreshments and the pres 9ntation of a remembrance to the de- parting comrade.
 Quite a number of bowlers turned out on Tuesday evening for the usual game.
 Rehearsals are in progress for an evenings entertainment which is to be given soon at the Treadwell Club, the program being mainly in the nature of comedy and vaudeville performance. Several of the most gifted "stars" of the vicinity are billed for the occasion.

Ott was the recipient this week of a very handsome Attn basket, which was presented to her by the ladies of the community as token of their appreciation of her co.opera- tiou and helpfulness during her eight years residence in their midst. A fare we'll reception which had been planned for Mir. and Mrs. Ott was given up be- cause of the recent bereavement. MT. and Mrs. Ott and family will leave to- morrow night on the Jefferson for their prospective home in California, bearing with them a host of good wishes for their future prosperity.
 The pleasant little Taku zephyr of past few days has given us touch of real winter-the first of the season.

The fire boys are gratified because of the big crowd that turned out to their entertainment and dance last Wednes- day evening. The only thing that in any way marred the entertainment was the fact that the hall was as cold as a barn. This was so more because of a misunderstanding than anything else. The show was remarkable in many ways, and, as suggested in our announce. ment last week, will not stand repeat ing-that is at least part of it will not. For instance, it will be long time before a Douglas audience will again listen so intently to an address delivered in strange tongue. Dewey Erickson and Elmer Slater put up a fine sparring exhibition for eight-year- olds, but big Tom Tracy, the referee, looked as though he might eat the pair of them for breakfast and not overload his stomach. The moving pictures, ex- hibited by Prof. Fred Purinton, were without fault. After the show came the dance-which was just dance, that's all. After paying all expenses there was a balance of about $8000, which will be used in fitting up the home of the fremen's club, in the City Hall building.

 General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its con- ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

manding the enactment of an in come tax law, providing for the re- striction of oriental immigration. and denouncing what the committee termed President Roosevelts ''perpet uatiOn of his dynasty" etc.
 The injunction subcommittee was the first to be appointed. and it's members were busily occupied during the day. This b-committee con- sisted vf Williams of Massachusetts. Parker of New 1"rk, and .sullv an of IovI. It's Ceiiherat:ons wLr" based upon a draft of the proposed plank made by Williams, which was found to be generally acceptable, but it was closely scrutinized by not oEly the conservative members of the committee, not only by Judge Park CT. but by the labor leaders as well. Williams was in consultation during the greater part of the day with labor men who appeared to be eX- tremely anxious not only that the substance, but that the particular language of the resolution should be such as to satisfy the voters who they claimed were behind them. Owing to the care it was found nec- essary to give to the plank, it was still under consideration by the sub committee when a recess was taken for dinner.
 The sub- committee on the tariff found less difficulty in reaching a conclusion. This committee consisted of Pettigrew of South Dakota, Brown of Nebraska and Alsnuler of Illinois It was able to report to the full committee by o'clock. The com mittee recommended the adoption of a comprehensive plank on the tariff. including among others, provision for free print paper, free wood pulp, lumber, logs, etc. No definite an nouncement on the question of a Philippine tariff relative to sugar was made by the sub committed
 The full subcommittee gave consid- erable attention to the subject of the preamble of the platform and there was at times a god deal of rivalry between the preamble of the New York platform and the Nebraska platform. the former being championed by Judge Parker. and the latter by Senator Pet tigrew and others. Ultimately the Ne braska language was accepted because Of Its breVity.
 During the discussion of the pream- ble Senator Pettigrew declared that there was too much tendency towards making stump speeches in the plat form and announced his intention of moving for the appointment of a com mittee of three for the simplification of the language of the entire docu- ment as soon as it was completed.
 Among other questions discussed at length during the day were the writ of injunction, and an expression of con- fidence in the courts. the practical val uatiOn of railorads and the guarantee of bank deposits. There was a sharp division of sentiment upon many of

these, but as the day wore on it be- came evident that a large majority of the full subcommittee was completely committed to all of Bryan's policies, while the members did not manifest a willingness to accept the language even of Bryan.
 were only one or two opposing express sions in reference to his policies. So nearly unanimous was the sub-commit- tee, that one of the members declared that it stood "16 to l" on all proposi- tions. Judge Parker generally being the odd member.
 During the day the committee reach ed the conclusion that it would not insert any declaration on the question of the rights of negroes. Bryan had made a tentative suggestion against discrimination to that race but the southern members of the sub-commit- tee expressed an opinion that the dec laration of principles would be more acceptable to the southern states If there should be no intimation of the party's attitude on that subject
 Possibly the nearest approach to a clash during the day was on the sub ject of courts. when Parker and Petit grew expressed in sharp language diametrically opposing opinions Park Ter presented a plank announcing the party's confidence in federal courts. and in it's support he made strong plea. He had no sooner taken his seat than Pettigrew took the floor in oppo- sition. He said that for himself he had little or no confidence in federal courts. but was willing to compromise by leaving the subject entirely un- touched. The sub b-committee decided to follow that course
 The conclusion to ignore the ques- tion of woman suffrage was arrived at early in the day. The plank upon oriental immigration which received the approval of the b-committee was offered by Inman of Oregon. A number of blanks from the Nebraska state platform were accepted practi- cally as they appeared in that doc ument Among them were those em- bodying an approval of the anti-pass and anti-rebate laws: prohibiting corporations from making campaign contributions; the election of United States senators by direct vote; rec ommending a constitutional amend ment permitting an income tax The enlargement of the powers of the railroad commissions; favoring postal savings banks, the eight hour day. the adjustment of disputes between labor and capital; urging an employ CTS liability bill. applicable to both public and private employers and recommending the admission of Aril zona and New Mexico as separate states.

AN ARIZONA SAW MILL
 ON MOUNT GRAHAM
Some Facts About This Territory as
 Lumber Region.

Washington, July 3.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican )-Ari- zona has the reputation of being a dry hot country, and much of it justifies this reputation. Those thoroughly ac- quainted with the territory know how ever, that there are mountains in Ari- zona, and on these mountains precipi- tations in the form of both rain and ,snow is surprisingly high. For exam pie: Mount Graham rises from the desert in southeastern Arizona to an altitude of over 10000 feet and it's steep slocpes are heavily timbered with Douglas fir, western yellow pine and Engelmann spruce.
 These timbered mountains are bless ings to the people of the territory in more ways than one. Streams in which the flow is regulated by the for lest runs down into the desert, where every drop of water is used for irriga- ton. The forests also supply the peo- pie of the region with material for building their houses, for fencing, and with timber.
 The timber portion of Mount Gra- ham is in a national forest This means that the timber can be used. but cannot be abused. For example, the government has sold to the Mount Graham Lumber company, the timber on an area which is estimated to yield 950.00O board feet, and the company is now cutting and saving it and supply ing the agriculturist community in the valley of the Gila river with lumber, and the mines of the GlObe mining district with timbers.
 The companys mill is high up on the mountain side in little opening in the dense timber. Here, one and a half miles above the sea level. the logs are sawed into lumber and Hume sever and one-half miles long carries the

sawed lumber down through the rough canyon of Ash Creek to the base of the mountain where it can be hauled direct to the ranches where it is to be used
 or loaded on cars and shipped to the mines. A Hume in Arizona seems out of place. but there is plenty of water on Mount Graham with which to op- crate it, and there always will be, for the forest officers allow only carefully selected trees to be cut, and there will always be a good forest cover on the mountain which will protect the steram
 flow and supply timber for the future.

IN BUSINESS FOR HIMSELF
 Will Abrams, who has been making
 Phoenix for many years for the Levi
 Strauss people, has gone to Napa,
 nently in business with his brother, taking an interest in a department store there. Will always liked Phoe-
 nix as much as any town on his
 route, and was at one time almost
 persuaded to take down here. His
 local pals will be glad to hear of his success.
 WORTH INQUIRING ABOUT-R-
 Bivins, who has charge of the Gordon Tweed ranch north of the city yester-
 day brought to the board of trade fine samples of two varieties of millet. one is a good sample showing lots of for age and fair sized well filled heads. It's straw is short however. The other is twice as large and luxuriant in every way and the heads are four or five times as big The straw is several times larger than the other, in fact half as big as a small cOrnstalk. The leaves are big and long and altogether MT. Bivins says he believes the crop will run six tons of forage to the acre and probably twenty bushels of seed. As everybody knows millet is a rich stock food. may say entirely too rich to feed
 an animal exclusively. It is possible the farmers can find in this millet something that will be more profitable than ever as a stock fattening food. A SESSION OF COURT.-Judge F. | M Doan of the Cochise district, arrived
 in the city yesterday morning to hear several matters for Judge Kent. There
 was one divorce cose on the territorial
 side In the case of Hugo Richards against John Noble and others the fi- ! nal report of Receiver Burnett was all lowed and there was an order of dis lcharge. Publication was ordered in the case of the Troy Consolidated
 Mining company, bankrupt, it being represented to the court that the cor poration is a Maine corporation and there is no agent here upon whom mo-
 tice could be served. The petition in bankruptcy was recently filed by J. H. | Award, C. NJ Johnson, Robert Archi-
 bald and John Kavanaugh, all resi- dents of Pinal county and creditors of
 the company in the aggregate sum of about $5000. The action was precipi- tated by an attachment which had been issued to a local cerditor for the satis-
 faction of a claim of about $500.
