GOOD FOR THE NEW ORLEANS
GREAT NORTHERN!

The New Orleans Great Northern Railway
Company has exhibited a commendable
spirit of public enterprise in offering, in re-
spouse to Governor Sanders request for re-
duced rates, to haul all material for road
construction free Of charge. Such liberality
by the railroads will do much toward doing
away with the feeling generally entertained
that railway companies are selfish corpora
tons devoid of all feeling, save in the grasp
Of the almighty dollar.
With such help as this, Governor Sanders
good roads movement will receive a boost
that will aid it materially.

Interesting Event Will Prob ably Take Place at Sum-
 mer Home,

WASHINGTON, May 10.-They do say that Princess Alice, that is, Mrs Nicholas Longworth. has been engag ed for some time in a course of do mestic science, which includes the making of certain wonderful, myster. ious little fluffy lace garments that go to make up a layette.
 The course also includes numeroug other matters pertaining to the prop CT bringing up of a juvenile Nick or Alice and is being imparted to her by all the wise old oowagers in her wide circle of friends and acquaint. ances.
 And they also do say that Mrs Alice expects the visit of the stork before many weeks. At any rate, caretakers of the Nicholas Longworth summer home, not far from President Taft's new summer home at Beverly Mass, have received orders to open np the house and get in readiness for the coming of Mrs. Alice, who will arrive there early in June.
 The house is beautifully situated and commands a magnificent view of Massachusetts bay. Ii is sufficiently excluded from the gaze of the multi tude in the middle of a large estate. to be an ideal resting place for a young mother.

GEORGE SMALLEY MAY BE THE NEXT VICTIM
Will Have to Enter Lively Con- test to Hold His Place
 as District Clerk.

Word comes from Globe to the ef- feet that George Smalley. who was private secretary to Governor Brodle during the rough rider territorial ad- ministration and has since held the office of ditsrict clerk in Gila county, is going to have a fight to hold his present position.
 It will be the province Of E. NJ. Lewis. recently appointed as judge in Gila county and associate member of the supreme court, to name the clerk of the Gila county district court.
 II was thought for a time that Sma!ley would have no opposition for the clerkship. but il looks like there is another think coming regarding the Gila county cleTkship, which IS regarded as a very juicy political plum. Concerning the clerkship, the Globe Belt says, editorialiy:
 If all reports are true there is go ing to be something of a skirmish for clerk of the district and federal court of this district before the appoint ment is made by Judge Lewis.
 "The other day news story was published to the effect that Mr.. Small lev had no opposition and was repose- fuIly seated in the office lounglng chair waiting for the plum to drop Tn his Ian. But that was the story of a reporter who did not prosecute his search beyond the limits of the Smai- l ley camp.
 There is a strong faction of the republican party in this part of ATT zona working tooth and toenail for the appointment of Tom Trevillian one of the most popular and enthus iastic of the young republicans ol | Arizona. and a gentleman, by the | way. who promises well for the flu ture. MT. Trevillian has stood hist in the councils of the party for | number of years and was the choice of the Gila county republicans lasi fall for the office of territorial as
 semblyman. He made a fine race TreviIIian has never mixed up in any factionaI fight. He is a clean youns man of sterling integrity and in popular contest would make a yer,
 creditable showing.
 "Smalley has made a good recor' in office. He was identified, however very strongly with. the Kibbey fac ton last fall and has posed as some thing of a leader of one of the loca
 factions. His opponents hold that h'
 has been well rewarded for the ser
 vice he has performed and shoul'
 step down and out. They claim tha
 Trevillian's appointment would brini
 about harmony and add grea
 strength 70 the county republicans The fight is on in earnest and th' oatcome will he watched with eeer interest,"

STATUE OF LONGFELLOW
 UNVEILED AT CAPITOL

 and Others Speak.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 10. With interesting ceremonies the statue of Henry Wadsworth Longfei- low. the poet, the first of American men of letters to be honored with a memorial in the national capital, was unveiled May :. The president of the United States and members Of the cabinet, the diplomatic corps. jus. tices of the supreme court of the United States, literary men of fame and many other persons of promi- hence, were present.
 Chief Justice Fuller presided over the exercises and the speakers in cluded President Taft, Hamilton Wright Mabie, Gen. A. w. Greedy. '. & A, and Brainard H. Warner. Music was furnished by the marine band. Thousands of spectators, among them the children of the public schools of Washington, assembled to witness the exercises.
 The statue, the work of William Couper, was admired by every one vho saw it. It is of Bonacord marble from Scotland and represents the poet seated, in an attitude of reyerie. In planning the statue. Mir. Couper's sole idea was to have everything else subordinated to the head The lines of the flowing gown of a college pro. lessor. with which the poet is dressed, are so draped that no mat ter where the sight strikes the figure the glance is diverted upward to the face
 The memorial was erected by the Longfellow National Memorial asso
 ciation which was organized seven years ago with Chief Justice Fuller as president, Former President Grov CT Cleveland and President Roosevelt ] were elected honorary members o
 the board of regents. Others of the | society included the leading literar, | men and women now living, as vel

DOUGLAS NEWS NOTES
FROM DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL

For the purpose of raising noney with which to erect two or more school buildings. thus relieving the congestion which obtains in most of the present buildings. the board of school trustees has called an election for Thursday. May 27. at which time bonds to the amount of $eO.0Oo will be voted upon. The election will be held at the Seventh street school building and judges will be George Logic, A. H. Wagner and J. O. Hass. Ter
 The bonds to be voted upon, the election notice states, shall consist of sixty bonds of the denomination of s1oo0 each and shall bear interes, from date at the rate of five per cent per annum.
 The trustees. owing to the crowd. ing in several of the schools. have been driven to this measure and are hopeful and confident that the public will vote them the means of this needed relief. Out of the proceeds oi the proposed bond sale it is planned 10 erect high school and at leas, one other building. The trustees be. heye that if this amount is voted it will care for the school children oi the city for three or four years. thus obviating the cry of more room which has been going up yearly. The high school, if the election carries will be located in the central part of the city at the place deemed most available. so that it will be accessible 10 all sections of the city.
