The Republican RalIys

The various township meet
ings being held by the Republi-
can county candidates are very
popular affairs and we are sorry
that it is not possible to. hold
meetings at other places than
those planned at the beginning,
as it would be to the interest of
the candidates as well as the
convenience and pleasure OF
many other communities no
doubt to partake directly of this
feast of oratory and share with
these most favored parts their
friendly flow of laughter, love,
and language.
Grieve not, dear friends, there
is comfort in the knowledge that
two at least of the most gifted
orators of the party and all
rounnd talk artists in the land,
will give daily talks at the court
house in Meade for the next two
years, viz. Messrs PRESLEY ana
Gray.
Very interesting meetings
were held in Odee. Sand Creek.
and Logan township and the
meetings at Fowler Saturday,
the 22nd>at 2:30 p. m. and at Ar
teslan, Wednesday the Goth, give
promise of being the best ones
yet, as gifted speakers are billed
for these occasions. Don't stay
away. Everyone should hear
these speakers. You will miss
a good time if you fail to attend
and perhaps some information.
Come out. Committee.

A Warning

1t has become a very popular
practice for those owning phones
upon the various county lines to
installa phone in the school house
where the political m eeting is to
be held, make a megaphone con-
nection with their own phoneand
with receiver down sit in their
own parlor and listen to the
speeches and avoid the neon
venience of a night ride and the
annoyance ofpersonal solicitations
by the candidates. This prac-
tice is not altogether satisfactory
as the the sequal will show.
The night of the 18th of Oct
ODER, a Republican speech feast
was being held in the Painter
school house in connection with
an oyster supper, given by the
residents in the interest of some
religious or educational work.
Several candidates had spoken
when Mr.. Tom Gray, Register
of Deeds responded to an urgent
call for a speech in his usual in
terestingland very eloquent man
ner. AS the speaker warmed to
his subject the listeners along
the line observed the peculiar
actions Of the phones, very dim at
times, distinct for a minute then
entirely unintehgible. The
speaker finally reached his per
grafton, he was closing his argu-
ment in an urgent appeal to the
voters to make their marks I'M

Railroad Commissioner Says
the Territory Needs More
Railroads and More Water
For Irrigation.

Douglas, Ariz.. Feb. 4.-The announce
ment of the Southern Pacific plans for
the continuation of the transcontinen-
tai main line from San Carlos on
through Phoenix to Yuma. provided the
territory of Arizona will approve the
proposed route through the Box can
yon on the ella river, located as a
site for an irrigation dam, has awak-
ened wide interest throughout the great
southwest.
Beauties Of Arizona.
In an interview with railway commits
sioner W. P. McNair, regarding this
situation in the proposed building of
the Arizona Eastern railway through
the Box canyon, he said: There are
three things Arizona needs just now
more than others-statehood, more rail-
roads and more water for irrigation
purposes. Statehood will be granted
during the year 1910 and leaves to the
people of the territory the other two.
To the transcontinental traveller the
views of Arizona as a rule tend to con-
firm the saying that Arizona is the
land that God forgot This legend is
no more substantiar than the reflec-
ton of the passing country left upon
the glass of a Pullman coach.
The transcontinental line run
through the most desolate portions Of
the territory. Unless a side trip be
made the many marvels and beauties Of
Arizona are never seen, and very few
people take advantage of these worlds
wonders on account of the extra ex-
pense. Were it possible for the beauties
of the Salt river valley to be seen from
the car windows Of a through train to
the coast, were 1t possible for the tour
ist to see the beauties of the forests
in Cocorino county, the peculiar at
tractiveness of the forest reserves in
Cochise and other counties, and the
farms in the San Pedro and other agri-
cultural sections, the territory itself
would advertise its own resources bet
ter than could any other agency.
