BOOKLET PREPARED BY
 THE H. 1. LATHAM co.
A Novel and Effective Advertiser of the Salt River Valley.

About once a year for several years past the H. l. Latham company has made a practice of getting out some thing in the way of an advertising folder concerning this valley for dis trfbution among it's clients and friends and prospective patrons. This year it has provided one that in several fea- lures eXcels any former issue.
 It is a 24-page booklet printed on heavy paper and bound in card board. The pages are about 3X4 inches in size and every other page carries a picture with text matter on the opposite page descriptive thereof. On the front cOv- CT is the picture of an orange grove and the first inside page shows a pie ture of the Roosevelt dam. The rest of the pictures are valley and city and reclamation scenes, such as the Gran ite Reef dam, the sugar factory. grain and pasture fields etc. The pictures are handsome engravings, and though small are real works of art
 This little booklet was prepared pre- vious to the Albuquerque Irrigation congress where it was first presented to the public and a great demand was created for them, some 10000 copies being distributed. One page gives Phoenix in a nutshell, another gievs

This owner may not have an expensive lawsuit nor have to re- sort to an expensive survey to rees- tabIish his boundaries but either or both is no more than he deserves for his mischieYous ignorance.
 Tt may not occur to may people" said MT. Thompson. that surveys are the basis of all titles to real estate and that monuments are the means by which such surveys are perpetuated. It seems strangely inconsistent that men should preserve their title deeds with jealous care and remain entirely indifferent to the preservation of the sions on the ground.
 "A possible reason for this popu- lar attitude may be found in the fact that the monuments themselves are frequently or rather usually. flimsily and carelesslv constructed: the sur veyor considering his duty done when he has set a small stake or a rough unmarked stone at the designated point or in some cases merely direct ing the interested party to set one or the other at his convenience.
 Even the corners of the government surveys, except that there are certain markings on stake or stone are con- structed in but little better manner than that indicated above"
 MT. Thompson said that in the set tied portions of the Salt River valley the greater part of the government monuments have been destroyed: a few have been perpetuated by local surveyors and land owners by new monuments. presumably at the points where the originals were located and the positions of many more are un- known. bitches have been constructed and tree lines and fences have been run at random, by settlers regardless or ignorant of the corners which must have been in existence at the time. Old settlers made their haphazard Ioca- tions and later corners joined on to them until it is well nigh impossi-

ble to line up" any two adjacent farms.
 Said MT Thompson: Now. as property is getting valuable, and the appearance of precision is always a valuable asset there should be d gen. eral consent to the strengthening out of the country. The statute of Inn itatiOns which might come into play in some cases could well be ignored with profit to all concerned. There are usually no improvements of great value on or near the farm boundaries and such as there are could vel be removed for the sake of the improved appearance of the country. When this valley comes to its full development our country roads should be trim. straight, well kept avenues rather than the zig-Zag lanes which now greet the traveller on every hand
 With the reclamation service now engaged in the construction of a net work of laterals this point should be strongly pressed. What is being done now is to remain for centuries to come and no policy of temporary expediency should be allowed to interfere with the principle of doing things right"

PUBLIC CARELESSNESS
 AS ID BOUNDARIES
The Importance of Having Definitely
 Marked Corners.

O. c. Thompson. former city engi neer of Phoenix but who is now en- gagged as draughtsman in the surveyor generals office tells The Republican the following story of the condition of the city iH regard to land monuments and of their importance in the regula- tion of boundary lines of real estate in and about the city. Mir. Thompson for several years has been in close touch with the lay of the land in Phoenix and his remarks on the land monument question which has occu- pied considerable attention during the past few weeks are very interesting. MT. Thompson said:
 The question of land monuments as brought to notice in a recent issue of The Republican by an article refer ring to a dispute in Orchard Grove addition wherein the irate claimants, over disputed territory brought shot gun into play, is one that calls for more than passing attention.
 Phoenix is fortunate in the fact that some sixteen or eighteen years ago, the city council with more wis dom and foresight than is usually found in such bodies caused the orig inal town of Phoenix as well as the additions then within the city limits to be accurately and permanently mOnumented. It may not be out of place to say here of s. A. Davidson, the engineer who performed the work, that no more conscientious and com potent work can be found in any city of the United States and it's value to Phoenix and its residents can never be estimated in dollars and cents.
 Tt is to be regretted that the later anneXatiOns cannot participate in the benefits accruing to the city through NIT. Davidson's labors. Flats seem to have been carelessly made and the monuments of survey. such as they were, more carelessly destroyed Prop erty owners seem in many cases to be utterly oblivious to the importance of the monuments marking the bound- aries of their lots" Mir Thompson said that he observed recently in a fashionable suburb lately plated a laborer industriously digging out a

Stomach Gases
 and Torpid Livers
Give Way Before the Peculiar Pur- flying Power of Stuart's Char
 coal Lozenges.
A Trial Package Sent Free.


 The foul gases of the stomach and the torpid action of the liver are easy victims for charcoal to overcome.
 This great natural cleaner and ab- sorbent will most certainly be rel ished by a system afflicted with gaseous or sluggish tendencies.
 Charcoal has long been known as a great absorbent of gas. A painful of charcoal will positively purify room filled with foul odors and decay Its absorbing ratio is one hundred times greater than it's own volume.
 The ancients gave charcoal for many human ills successfully The North American Indians used it for snake bite, poison from eating wild herbs and cured what they called bad medicine" with it.
 Willow charcoal seems to be the best product for human use, and no doubt the peculiar curative property of the willow is represented in a chemical quality in it's charcoal.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are pure willo wand sweet honey blended by tremendous power and compress sion into a very palatable lozenge. Two or three lozenges can be eat after meals will prevent the process of digestion from producing noxious gases. They will vivify a lazy liver and aid every organ which is most likely to be overcome through it's con- tact with impurities.
 They cleanse the stomach and in- testines, bring purity and sweetness out of fermentation and decay and aid digestion by allaying gas. The beneficial effects are made evident after each meal when you use char coal as Stuart prepares it. To allay gas at night they are excellent and one arises in the morning without that terrible nauseating bad breath which destroys appetite and renders one miserable.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, price twenty-five cents, or send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address r. A. Stuart Co, 200 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

CANDIDATES PLEASED
 WITH SOUTH SIDE TOUR
Everywhere They Were Given a Cor dial Reception.

Some of the republican candidates who have been canvassing the south side returned this morning elated with their tour. They found a pleasing re ception everywhere, especially in the democratic stronghold. Lehi where a large meeting was addressed on Thursday night.
 The meeting at Mesa last night was a great one, preparations having been made on an elaborate scale by the enthusiastic republican club of that place. The meeting was addressed by all the candidates who received the applause of all republicans and many democrats. The principal speech was made by E. w. Lewis.
 One of the candidates remarked that whatever might be the result of the election the visit among the hospitable republicans and democrats of the south side would be a pleasant mem ory.
 The next point of attack by the re- publican candidates will be Glendale tomorrow night.

THE OUTLOOK
 FOR ARIZONA As Il Appears to National
 Committeeman Bieber PREDICTS EARLY STATEHOOD The Visitor is a Prominent Republican of Washington, D. C. and the Nation and an Intimate Friend of Chairman Hitchcock.

The most distinguished visitor of Phoenix yesterday was Sidney Bieber of Washington, D. C., who arrived in the city yesterday morning accom- panying as a guest Chairman Hoval A Smith of the republican territorial committee.
 MT. Bieber. though young man, has for several years been active in the political and business affairs of the District of Columbia and has taken prominent part in national politics. He perhaps enjoys a wider and more in- innate acquaintance with congressman and leading politicians than any other man not in official life.
 Mir. Bieber is the republican national committeeman from the District and a warm friend of National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, whom he re- gards as the most accomplished poli- tical manager of his time.
 MT. Bieber accompanied MT. Taft west on his late tour, but he left the special at Chicago and visited Gales burg and other points in Illinois. He arrived at Bisbee on Tuesday morning and since his coming he has met his friend Col. w. S. Sturges, national committeeman from this territory.
 Mir Bieber is acquainted with Ralph Cameron and is deeply interested in his campaign. He is pleased to ob- serve the enthusiasm of republicans and the harmony in which the territo- rial committee, the national committee ta al adr fvfc ion are working for the success of Mir. Cameron which MT. Bieber believes will be followed by the admission of the territory at the short session of congress. MT. Hitchcock, MT Bieber says, has deep interest in this matter, largely personal, by reason of his friendship for many of the leading members of. the party here.
 MT. Bieber has talked on this sub ject with representatives and senators who are members of the national com mittee and many who are not. He has found a prevailing sentiment in favor of single statehood and he has reason to believe that the territory will be promptly admitted if the republican congressman shall be convinced that there is probability that this will be-  come a republican state.
 Regarding national politics, Mir. Bic Der said he had no doubt, and he did not think any well informed man could have a doubt of the election of Mir. Taft. There is he said a general set ting in of sentiment in that direction and it may be said that the fight is all over now. Except the casting and the counting of the ballots. Nor is there any doubt in MT. Bieber's mind that the next house will be safely republi- can.
 Mir. Bieber visited the territory some years ago and he is naturally amazed at the 'rowth and development which has taken place since. His tour at this time is one of recreation and pleasure in the course of which Ee will see as many parts of the territory as possibly and he expects to visit all the larger towns.
 Accompanied by MT. Smith he re- turned south last night, though he will be in Phoenix again before leaving the territory.
