E.S. CLARK RETURNS FROM SIZZLy
 EAST
Says Business is I'm proving But Prescott
 For His
(From Saturdays Daily

F.. -. ClaTk, former attorney gen eral. returned Thursday from an east ern trip. When interviewed by the Journal-Miner as to his accomplish ments and impressions while touring the "effete," Mir. Clark said;
 ''My principal business in Wash Ington was as attorney for the town of Flagstaff, it being vitally concern ed in the controversy between the Santa Fe Railroad company and the department of the interior as to certain lands in Coconino county, up on which the spring and pipe lines of the Flagstaff water system are To- cated.
 "'I do not care to discuss the mer- its of this matter, but am satisfied that it will be finally adjusted in accordance with the wishes of the people of the town. The interior ae- partment is disposed to treat the matter with entire fairness, and this attitude assures a satisfactory dis position of the case.
 "Every kind of business is imprOv- ing rapidly with the removal of the uncertainty attending the tariff con troversy. and most optimistic feel Tng is observable everywhere. Ari- zona cannot fail to get her full share of the tonic, and if the many as -surances I hear count for anything, she will get more than her share but, of cOurse, not more than her matchless resources entiIe her to.
 "It seems to be taken for granted that Arizona will be admitted to statehood in the coming session of congress, but it is well enough to bear in mind that the aerimOnies en- ,gendered by the tariff debate may zhave greatly disturbed the alignment n the senate on this question. Dele ,gare Cameron has President Taft 's cordial assurances of support for our admission, and much of the fSor with which influential congressman view the statehood bill is due to Cameron's s good work.
 -'I had the pleasure of seeing Or vile Wright make his last and most successful flight in his airship from Fort Myer to Alexandria and return, accompanied by an army of fieer. It was thrilling exhibition. Owing to the distance, the machine passed entirely out of sight of the thousands at Fort Myer. and for some minutes there was an almost 'breathless suspense. The machine soon reappeared, however, having successfully rounded the captive bal loon moored at Alexandria as a ElIErl0sr or guide, and sailed swiftly back to the starting point, alighting as gracefully as a huge bird from a height of between three hundred :and four hundred feet. The ovation that followed this performance was almost equal to that which some times follows the Prescott ball team after a successful inning.
 ~-I got as far east as Bar liar Dor Me, and encountered almost every kind of weather excepting the perfect kind we have here. Most of the time it was hot and moist and sticky. It is easy to get along in shat kind of temperature, however, If you know how. All you have to de IS to wiring out your clothes every little while, get wholesale rates at a laundry, and charter a bath tub. Then if you can forget all lanf Rage savoring of profanity and don't walk off the dock while try 'ng TO make the perspiration run back of your ears instead of into your eyes, you may get back to the Has ,sayampa without having seriously i'm paired your chances of everlasting happiness
