 gThiIe the International believes sAat it is the intention of the South s.n Pacific railroad to build into oa1glas and into B-sbee while they have their present large force in the field it is impossible to obtain any such statement at this time. On the contrary the only statement obtain able IS that the southern Pacific is now building from Kelton to Naco
 Two Douglasites. tired of state ments which were not verified, went to Kelton to see for themselves what was being done and was to pc done in railroad construction through the Sulphur Springs valley. These two were A D Nanney and Ben Nor ton. Both of them saw what was at kelton, both of them talked to the superintendent of construction ot Grant Brothers and both came home with identically the same story.
 The new stock which was brought in consists of 3o4 mules and two horses and they are in two camps. There are expected to arrive withi the next few days 450 more mules and then there are to be five camps. Jim Cash.on of Grant Brothers con struction company arrived at Kelton yesterday afternoon, the incoming train being two hours late.
 Both Mir Nanney and Mir Norton had conversations with the super.n- tendent of construction for Grant Brothers and. both of them were in- formed by him that the contract which they had merely called for the construction of a railroad between Kelton and Naco and neither Doug las nor Bisbee are mentioned in that contract although they do appear on Ines which are marked upon the sur vey as points of intended destination at some time on the part of the Southern Pacific. Still, asS stated, in the contract which Grant Brothers have there is no mention whatever of any constructor work to be done to either Douglas or Bisbee.
 Notwithstanding this, the Interna- tional believes, judging from the large force which is being put on.

The chautaGqua season is drawing near. This promises great treat for the people of Bisbee and the tributary country. It is expected that hundreds will come to Douglas to hear the lectures of the distin- guished men who are included in the program. Bryan Day" will be the great event of the ChautaHqua sea son. Col. Bryan will deliver his great lecture. Prince of Peace" .n the afternoon, Ex-Governor Buchtel win speak in the evening, and also the famous Hungarian orchestra will be heard in the evening. It Is ex- pected that Bryan Day" will bring one of the greatest throngs of vs.t- ors ever seen in Douglas. Certainly the opportunity to hear such distin- guished men in Douglas will not come again soon.
 Governor Sloan will ask the may ors of all the c,t'es of Arizona to name a delegation to serve on the reception committee on the occasion of the visit of President Taft to Phoenix.

District Attorney Williams is a very busy man these days MT. Williams has made a good record in his office during the present year and his success may be attributed to an earnest desire to prosecute the criminals of the county and the me thodical way in wh.ch he prepares for the trial of his cases. During the April term of the District court the district attorney convicted about every prisoner that deserved that fate However. 1t should be remem- bered, that much of the success in prosecuting law violators must nee essarily depend on the juries select ed.
