ATTiCHES' SALARIES
 ARE HELD UP
Auditor Ely Refuses to PayI Other Than Regular
 Appropriations

Falling back upon the organic law of Arizona, Territorial Auditor Ely has refused to pay to the two mess engers, two watchmen and two chap lains employed in the recent legisla- ture the sums that were appropr ated to them in addition to their -6xed sal ary.
 Ely bases his refusal to pay these appropr ations upon the opinion that was rendered by Attorney General Clark two years ago when former Au- ditor Page refused to pay money ap- propriated to George MaBk and John II. Robinson, as well as six attaches for services performed during the session.
 In his written opinion. Clark held that the organic act provides specifi- caily that no additional compensation shall be provided other than that pro V ded in the organic act for federal attaches of the IegislatuTe-that Is, attaches who are provided for in the organic act
 When the recent legislature made the appropriation for some of the at taches in order that the salary they received might be as large as that pTONileQ TOT NuG OlutI C1tfhS ul luS two houses, it was stated that the money would never pass through Au- ditor Ely's hands.
 All of the six attaches who have been turned down received salaries under the organic act wh 'ch were much smaller than those of the a6di- tiopal clerks named by the legisia- ture. It was to put them on the same basis as the other committee clerks that the extra money was ap- propriated.
 Rev. L. !. Hedgpefh and Rev. L. Williams suffer the most of any who are denied this extra compensation. The organic act gives them a salary of but S150 per day or a total O. only 800 for the entire session. An additional apDropr 'stion of $90 was made for each of them in order thai they might be paid at the rate of g per day.
 Two years ago the legislaturs made
 an additional appropriation for Rev
 FEedgpeth and Rev. A. R. Mclean fol
 the same reason as the recent legisia tllre. but when they went 10 forme Auditor Page for their money he rs fused them. as he did several sthers
 and for his authority produced AttoI
 Dey General Clark's interpretation Q the organic act.

DOUGLAS NEWS NOTES
FROM DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL

1 C rt. land office entries made day and most of them are from the Sul- huT Springs and San simon valleys. l " in Phoenix he saw a sample = the Salome ore that is half gold. There are large crowds leaving Phoe- nix every day for the new gold fields, and the country near the new ind Is staked out for miles around. = County Valuation Lower.
 County Assessor Howe is making the assessment for this year, which be does not think will equal that of last year, as property values in some parts 0f Coch,se county have fallen, and because of the low price of cop per. last year. The output basis of assessment on productive mines Is based on the average price of copper in New York for the preceding year, and the assessor states that for 1908 the price will hardly average 15 cents per pound in the New York market, while for 1907 the average was far above that price. The coun- ty is assessing on the 90 per cent ratio of valuation.
 Ei Psso to Douglas in Auto.

Roper, machinery and auto mobile man of El Paso. and also prominently identified with the Das- son Mining company, arrived here last night at 10 o'clock in his tn rty- horsepower Studebaker automobile which be drove from the Pass city to Douglas by way of Deming.

The blaze is believeu 10 have originated from sparks from a passing engine When discovered the fire had already eaten away a portion of the roof of the eating house and had made such rapid head way that efforts to entinguish it proved unavainng. A volunteer fire department was. organized and buck ct brigade composed of Santa Fe em- ployes and others about the depot did heroic work but the fire spread rapid Iy and was soon beyond all control. 4 h gh wind which prevailed at the time famed the flames and they soon spread to the temporary Santa Fe de pot and telegraph office ad1oin ng' where they played havoc wlth the Santa Fe and Western Union tele- graph wires, melting them and cut ting OH cOmnuUtldtiDI hALH tht OU' side world. The burning of the tele- graph wires resulted in suspension of traffic on the New Mexico division and tra 'ns were delayed considerably. A rough estimates made of the loss places 1t at about twenty thousand dollars. The news of the burning ot the dingy old Fred Harvey house at I.amy will bring paug of regret to the people of New Mexico For 10, these countless years the Harvey Nouse has stood looking soiemniy down upon him who waitest at I4amy.
