 PHOENIX

Under the heading, 50 Hot in Phoe- nix Teeth Filings Melt" the Fort Worth Record few days ago publish ed the following:
 t Texas is not the hottest place after all, in spite of our great humidity de- clared D. s. Landis, the local weather observer, Friday. I used to be sta toned out at Phoenix, Ariz., and you may be sure 1t got some hot out there. And the records there, as well as here. have been broken this year. I have just received a letter from a druggist at that place, who is an old friend of mine, and he tells me that a young fellow by the name of Harry Appiegafe, who recently came over there from Frisco, had the misfortune to have his amalgam tooth filings melted out of his mouth during the hot days Of last week.

PRESIDENT MAY VISIT b|SBEE
 IN 0CT.

It is possible that President Taft may go through Cochise county on his way from Los Angeles to Fl Paso about the middle of October. The president has expressed desire to visit Arizona. and in order to do so properly he would have to see Bisbse. the biggest and most typical city In the territory.
 Douglas has already forwarded an invitation to the chief executive O. the nation, which it in the shape of an engraved copper tablet. and the Bis bee Board of Trade will send an equal- ly cordial if not quite as elaborate, bid.
 It is possible for the presidential special to change tracks a: Benson ano continue the journey to Fl Paso over the Southwestern which. withou. loss of time, would permit Mir. Taft to visit Bisbee. and later Douglas. Nowhere in the west would the president receive a more hearty well come than here in Cochise county. Tn recent tariff utteraDces Mir. Taft made it plain that he considers hiTn- self the executive head of all the peo- pie. and as that includes the people of this territory they certainly have TO desire to have the distinguished party pass by without at least passing call
 A great deal depends on the time of the day or night that the special will arrive at Benson. and if it is season able hour there is no possible reason why Bisbee should not be granted the privilege to entertain and welcome the president.

HEAVY RAIN CAUSES FLOODS,
 ONLY SLIGHT DAMAGE |S DONE
New Subway and Retaining Walls are Sub jected to Severe Treats and stand
 Srain Imposed on Them

The storm yesterday afternoon brought floods in the streets of the city which were reminiscent of worse times in the past. Brewery Sulch and Review street formed wide and swollen river at their junction, and much water also poured down Mair and Subway streets from Tombstone canyon. Earlier in the day. about noon, water flowed down the gulch and Review street as result of rain up in the hills, while no rain had fal- len in the city.
 1t was shortly before half past two yesterday afternoon when the black clouds which had been gathering anu rolling up for hours opened and dis charged few big drops. There was a short cessation. and then the rain started and was soon falling in to- rents. A few minutes later water commenced to run through the city streets and continued to rise for near, ly an hour, although the heavy rain lasted for only about half of that time. From back of the postoffice came streams of black water, from up the Tombstone Canyon came a torrent, while, as stated. Brewery Gulch and Review street formed a raging river.
 Up Tombstone canyon a barn be- longing to Emmet Finnerty was wash ed out and hundred foot bulkhead went with it. Finnerty is foreman at the Czar, and was absent, but Mrs. Finnerty managed to save the horses. A shed back of the Copper Queen barns and disused building of the Moore Fuel company also went out

 When a member of the committee was approached by Review man and asked for an explanation of the decis- ion to cancel the game he was met with the response that there was noth- ing to give out for publication as a question had arisen contrary to the constitution of one of the lodges, which would prevent the game.

of nations. But they missed the histo-
ric occasion.
1t was, as to time. just about a
couple of hours before the house and
senate conferees adjusted their last diff
ferences on the tariff bill, AS to place,
it was in the presidents workroom in
the White house offices. In the morn
ing the president had sent his ulti-
matum that he would not stand for a
duty of more than $1.25 per thousand
feet on lumber, and certain rates on
other articles.
F,ordney and Calderhead concluded
they would make final appeal to the
president to yield little from his po-
sition on lumber So they went
House. At first they were told the
president could not be SEEN but, on ex-
planning the urgency of their mission,
they were finally admitted.
They were two surprised statesmen
when they entered the presidents pres
ence for probably no chief executive
ever before discussed weighty affairs
of state in such unconventional style.
The huge form of the president was
enveloped in a flowing ''kimonO" like
those which Japanese court officials
wear in comic opera. AS he greeted
his visitors with his expansive smile
it was also noticed that his only other
clothing was his underwear. 1t was an
impressive sight.

laughter had subsidized and the presi-
dent had explained that he was fighting

down to business. The house members
found that the president could be just

BOWLBYS HARDNESS
CAUSES UNEASINESS

OLYMPIA, Aug. 5.-The arrival
last night of Henry Lee Bowlby, whom
Governor Hay appointed state highway
commissioner, relieved a trying situa.
ton. His appointment was to be Ell
fective August /. When he failed to
take the oath of Office and qualify the
entire work of the office came to
standstill. All pay rolls for the crews
in the field, all bills for supplies and
other accounts were held up pending
the arrival of the new official.
Joseph M. Snow. former highway
commissioner, is here and was ready
to do what he could toward approving
the claims and to expedite payment
but the attorney general rendered him
an opinion today that the appointment
of Bowlby by the governor acted as an
acceptance of Shows resignation and
that therefore Snow cannot act.

CLASS
IS 9TH

First blood has been drawn by the
recently organized real estate associa-
ton of this city, for after listening
to the forceful arguments presented by
some of the members, the county COM
missioners who were in session yester-
day signed their names to the dOcu-
ment which declares this county one
of the seventh class where formerly
it had been in the eleventh. Walla
Walla has belonged to this grade for
months and citizens are jubilant that
the change has now been made. The
man behind the gun in this case has
proved to be Publicity Agent L. E.
Meacham who advocated placing this
county up four notches and though
the commissioners were cautious, they
were finally forced to sign the docu-
ment. when IL was realized that the
change would be for the best interests
of the county.
Secretary H O. Cecil, secretary OF
the real estate association put the
matter before the commissioners. He
stated it was entirely in the hands of
the mmissioners and upon their
judgment the fate of the petition
rested To secure the seventh class
county it was necessary for the COM
missioners to be thoroughly convinced
that the county had between $4,000
and 10000 people. He cited the school
census which shows 6,S32 pupils as
having been enrolled last year and il
each child was credited with repre-
senting 1-2 people, a very low esti.

Lewis county was ALSO admitted to
the seventh class recently and the
school enrolment of that county is less
than that of Walla Walla county, be-
ing 6,614. The commissioners next
submitted proposition to so into the
eighth class and if the census taken
next year shows the county is entitled
to be in the sixth or seventh class,
then push the county up to where it
belonged This was not met with any
noticeable amount of enthusiasm.
After the necessary papers had been
signed one of the commissioners said:

day in Hartman, a large crowd
having gathered to hear Hon. A.

Irrigation proposition, which will
be in stones throw of that town.
Mr.. Bent got down to the es.

what his company expected to do,
without frills or furbelews. If his
project had no merit, he did not
ask the landowners for a dollar.
He was satisfied that his CON-
pany's plans were feasible, and
that every cent invested wonld
yield large returns in the future.
The general sentiment ut the
termination of Mr.. Bent's address
was very favorable, and it is prob
able that the same will be true all
along the line.
