PHoENIX, July 30.--Dr. vickers returned from Prescott yesterday morning where he had conference with Mir. F. M. Murphy in regard to many matters of interest to the ter ritory and particularly to the Salt River valley, and he is pleased to be able to say that there are a number of important movements on foot likely to culminate at an early day that should add very materially to the bus mess activities in the valley from one end of it to the other. Mir. Murphy told Dr. vickers of the positive plans that had been decided upon for the Arizona & California line to Bengal the P. and E.. He also referred to the probable construction of certain branch lines, that cannot help but mean a good deal to Phoenix, its mer. chants and in fact to everyone in this community.
 Mir. Murphy was found in the usual optimistic mood so far as the future of the territory is concerned and par ticularly enthusiastic over the out look for the valley and he will un- doubtedly. before very long, be in a pos tion to make public some of the plans that have been -ecided upon, and. by so doing. g.ve substantial evidence in support of the general statements that Dr. Vickers has made, which he was not at liberty to sub stantiate with details. as Mr.Murphy is the only one that could be ex- pected to assume that responsibility.
 Mir. Murphy's attention had been called to the attacks that were being made upon railroads and corporate in terests generally by the Phoenix Ga zette, particularly the unwarranted at tacks that had been made upon the Santa Fe, as well as the attitude dis played on the part of two members of the Commercial club, particularly the activities of its traffic manager Jones, and its president, Akers. and he regretted exceedingly that so much unfairness was being indulged in, as 1t would appear to him, for no other purpose than to appeal to the pTeju- of those. to be found in every commu- nity. ever ready to find fault and assail people who are, or appear to be prosperous. and who rae at all active in public affairs associated with and directing the affairs of large cor porate interests.
 He stated, however. that he did not believe that it was possible, all things considered. that any great amount of harm would result from what either Jones or the Gazette might say or do, though undoubtedly the Salt River valley and territory generally have received more or less prominence of an undesirable kind through the tao tics that have been employed. He remarked that he had noticed that the Gazette had said that t was ready to support people that id" things, that whenever the railway commis- eon could show to the Gazette or to me controlling influence of the Com rnercisl club that it was doing, things" that it was. in substance ready to give such support as 1t was sn ils limited way capable of t would apear as though 1t makes very little difference to these containing eople whether a person or corpora ton is busy doing things calculated to be helpful to the valley and to the ter program, which everyone who Is at all familiar with conditions and circum- stances knows full well. was gotten up more or less for the purpose of giving prom hence to the two agitators in the hope that directly or indirectly the'r particular interests would be ad- vanced. MT. Murhy said 1t was fair to assume that the storm of protest mentioned bv the Gazette as having the reappo' ntment of Governor Kibbey was the result. in all probability of letters sent out by the same busy bodies and would-be regulators of the affairs of the people doing business in the territory. that sent out the first 200o to create sentiment. and he also stated that if there have been any ritory generally or whether peuDle are busy in tearing down or creating disturbances calculated to be hurtful. MT. Murby stated that 1t was very evi-
