SEATTLE, June Ex-Governor
Gillett of California, who was here
several days visiting the fair, left

he expects to spend Thursday and

the state line idea, with one vast
empire, extending from Mexico to
the Arctic ocean, and bend every
effort to influence the general gov

cannot compete with foreign coun-
tries trading on the Pacific which
grant large subsidies and at once
expect to build up American COM

must ask congress to help us to-

SINE Old
CITY LABOR
PROPOSITION
COUNCIL TELLS WHAT IT
WOULD 90 FOR CITIZENS,
FINDS WHAT IT HASN'T
DONE AND LEARNS WHAT IT
CAN DO.

The same old pretense of inten-
ton to enforce thee ity scale of
$2.75 on public work, and of giving
citizens and heads of families pre-
ference in employment, was gone
through by the city council last
night. The council recalled the
fact that it had standing resolu-
ton to this effect before the board
of works and reaffirmed it.
The past value of this resolution
was demonstrated by Councilman
Nelson when he told of going to
three different gangs of men on a
pipe-laying job in his ward and fail
ing to find a man there who could
answer him in English. Every
councilman who has kept his eyes
open at all knows that this condi-
ton is the rule rather than the
exception, and the board of works
must be as well informed, yet moth
ing In the way of improvement is
accomplished.
Funk raised the point in a dis
cussion of proposition by Frank
Hogan that he be allowed to lay
an iron pipe water system in Au-
dobon park under city supervision,
the city to pay him for the work.
Funk said the city should do the
work, as private employers on such
work could hire men for 81 or 1925
per day and charge the city labor
account on the legal scale of $2.75.
He fntimated that this had been
done, as of course it has on street
improvements where the engineers
estimate of labor cost is always
figured at $275 per day.
Charles Mcintyre, representing
Mr.. Hogan. said that his principal
was willing to incorporate payment
Of the city scale and giving prefer
ence to citizens in the contract,
and on that understanding the
proposition was approved.
The failure of the city scale when
turned over to contractors was
pointedly illustrated by Thomas
Maloney when Councilman Dalke
asked him what was the difference
between day labor when employed
by contractors and employed by the
city.
Mr.. Maloney responded:
"The difference is that when the
city does the work citizens are en-
ployed. When contractors do it
aliens are employed"
Mr.. Dalke had little to say to
this further than that the same
conditions could be imposed on the
contractor, to which Mr.. Maloney
responded that it could be, but was
not, fact Mr.. Dalke is undoubt-
eddy familiar with. Mohr said he
understood that alien labor was
employed on the Mission avenue
bridge, but the discussion failed to
throw any further light on this
phase of it.
1t was clearly demonstrated, how.
ever, that the council by resolution
has provided for a living wage
scale and employment of citizens,
but is not requiring those provis-
ions to be lived up to. Mr.. Schiller
proposed that the board of works
be instructed to enforce the rule
hereafter. but there was no move
ment to ascertain why it had not
been lived up to in the past further
than reference to conflicting opin-
ions of different corporation coun-
sells Mr.. Connor rule on this poine
last night that labor restrictions
could be legally included in the
contract, both under city ordinance
and state law.

CAVE CREEK HUMOR
 MIXED WITH NEWS
God Still Reisns But the Legislature Is Testing His Authority Severely.

Cave Creek, Feb. 5.-(Special Core spondence of The Republican, )-This is a busy camp since January goth, when sheep shearing began. Because a less number of sheep were expected only half the former force of shearers started in, but since the first of the month, other bands coming in late for booking. have necessitated the putting on of few more shearers. and about the same old outfit is here that has come to shear for years past. The Prahl Bros. are again in charge of the mechanical department. and far, far away be the year when they cease to show up. They are skilled mechani- clans, and like all the rest of the out fit, most agreeable gentlemen. One of the shearers, Mir. Apperson, brought a bride along and she wonders why the trees don't shed their foliage, yer dure and fade and snow, cold and tempest rage as at St. Louis. her for mer home. She is beginning to un- derstand that God lives here, and reigns without frenzied criticism of His mysterious ways. However, the Arizona legislature is not yet done with its work, and God as well as the rangers and the public examiner may be legislated out of job.
 The abundant rains that have fallen this winter, have made good feed and. l hear, plenty of it. now the forest riders are seeing to it that cattlemen and sheep men have the range and feed they contract for. But that ar engagement seems like renting out the atmosphere; for animate and vegeta- ble life in this-region, get most of their nutriment from the air, hence Uncle Sam is extending his propriety do- main above the earth, and into the fir mament. Though that seems strange. cattle and sheep men are not kicking.
 The mining operations 1 mentioned in my last communication are yet operating. Mir. Udell of the Rogers Spring company told me last week, that the smelting plant of his company has been purchased, and is now being prepared for shipment; that the high mucky- muck of the company, noted jurist of Indianapolis, is expected to arrive here just as soon as he can shake his courts. The force at the Copper Top, is yet at work, though Mccullough himself is in town for a few days. Ed Howard is hauling ore down from his mines to his little mill at his home. The other day he was showing a nugget of almost pure gold which he discovered while emptying one of his sacks. It is an irregularly shaped thing, and can cover about all of a mans thumb nail. It weighs (es- timating out a few grains of quartz) about three dollars of pure gold. But that is not the only nugget he has found in that ore. Of late he finds
Arizona republican., 1909-02-08
many large nuggets but not so large as

many large nuggets but not so large as the one mentioned.
 A few days ago Messrs. Donald, John Osborne. Judge Thompson or Robinson, and mining engineer came up in Mir. McDonald's automobile to inspect the Ben Hur mine. In my last I failed to mention that a force of men have been at work there for weeks. Also that party came up to shoot gray squirrels out of the hard wood timber of this forest reservation. But the foliage on our ashy poplar and sugar tree naples, is so dense, here, that squirrels can hide from hun ters. Furthermore, in this forest. house pussies have been metamor- phosed into yelling partners. lap feists into bowling, ravenous timber wolves, and pigs into bears-oh this is a dreadful region for Natty Bumpo.
 The voters here, democratic as well as republican, adversely criticise the recent acts of the legislature in re- tirlng the rangers and public examin- CT. We were about to shoot up this camp with our mouths; so as to draw Sergeant Speed and posses up here
 
 friends. For it is feared that illicit manufacture of maple sugar and mo- lasses from our forest sugar trees may be attempted and result in a commun ity demoralization like that caused by moonshine whiskey making in the mountains of Tennessee, and to re- stran that we would need Sergeant Speed.
 J. F. Smith, former superintendent of the Phoenix mine, and who last year cut loose from here, and moved to his place of birth and rearing in East Tennessee had to return about three months ago to resume his life long profession of mine manage ment. Now he has sold out his Ten nessee property, and has bought small ranch near Phoenix. Oh we 'knowed it.; we knew that that sen timentality of his would wear out aft CT his system had absorbed the dis comforts of the moist cold, and steam heat of the Tennessee atmosphere. He had spent more than half his life in the far west in this southwest, and in Old Mexico in mine experimenting, and he thought that attaining to three SCOTe anu ten, or near that, meant Oe- cline of capacity; but it may have been as I warned him, that Tennessee widows thought him as husky as good looking, and began to rope him Any how he is back without any widows brand on him; and as he is good for at least ten years more service in his line, he is yielding to destiny and to duty. His granddaughter, Miss Elsie is to return soon and by then her head will be a few inches higher in the air, for girls of her age, and reared here, lengthen out fast. MT. Smith hopes to dispose of the Phoenix mine mill or most of it this summer, and to have everything secure from molestation
 Harry Klawans is up here now hold ing down the Mexican mine. The fact that other parties have been monkey ing with 1t, proves that that property is yet covetable as well as promising

UNWILLING DESERTER
 FROM J. s. NAVY
The Arrest of Edward T. IsIey Who Simply Could Not Walk Back to Mare Island.

Edward T. Isley was taken into cus- tody yesterday by Sheriff Hayden on a telegraphic request from the naval authorities at Mare Island, charging him with the desertion. This proceed ing is more or less formal for the young man has evidently not intended to desert but has been unable to join his vessel the Pensacola on which he became an apprentice seaman last fall. Isley has been a resident of Phoenix for sometime and his father, William Isley resides on North Third street.
 Isley was one of the witnesses for the defense in the case of the territory against Charles Dixon. charged with assault to commit murder, in the shooting of George Duvall. at Five Points corral last summer. Long be- fore the case was called for trial, Is- ley went to San Francisco and joined the navy. When the case was called the defense alleged that Isley was a material witness and a continuance was allowed and an order was made for the taking of the deposition of Isley. It was later arranged that he might come to Phoenix to testify at the trial. He was given a furlough until January 9.
 The expenses of the young man were paid by Dixon who had also agreed to pay his travelling expenses back to his post. Isley certainly earned it for 1t was his testimony alone that saved Dixon from a term in Yuma.
 But after the trial, Dixon either would not or could not raise the mon- ey for the young mans return and he has since been marooned here. It Is stated in the charge against him that he deserted from the Pensacola on January 9 which was the date of the expiration of his furlough.
 It is not likely that he will receive
