pubiican's news of IL was recognized
as the real news; not only because il

was known to convey the exact i'm

trained newsgatherers at Washington.
The news was not always palatable
to The Republicans readers or TO it
self, but the news was supposed to
represent things as they were, not
always as The Republican wished
they might be.
Naturally the community regarded
The Republicans statehood news as
the last word in every phase Of the
statehood fight. Other special dis
patches printed in Phoenix moved n

and thus after all, were not without
a certain value for what ever makes
people laugh is not to be despised.
Statehood, however. is a serious
business concerning which people

His dislike of having a meaningless

agement of The Republican that il
could not serve its readers and there
fore itself, by the publication OF
purely boom" stories which would
inspire hope that would never be
realized, or in great probability would
not be realized. 1t seemed the more
expedient as well as the more honest
policy TO give its readers nothing
but the truth so far as it could as

seemed better to gain a reputation
for the reliability of its news columns
than to excite the populace by wild
stories of coming factors of great
prosperity when it was evident that
the untruth Of such stories must be
disclosed within a short time.
Almost nightly The Republican re-
ceives queries from correspondents
and private news bureaus in differ
ent parts of the country. These
queries relate to Phoenix or Arizona
matters. If the subject is one of
popular interest the correspondent
is wired to send the matter if he is
sure of his facts, otherwise not On
Thursday night a query regarding a
matter of the greatest interest to
Phoenix was received The CORES
pendent was asked If he knew his
story to be true. Late at night he
replied that further investigation left
the matter in doubt. The story was
therefore not ordered.
The Republican in pursuance of its
policy to establish the reputation of
its news columns for absolute relia-
bility has never polluted its much
larger and superior telegraph service
with fake canned" or stolen tele-

and buries the meager genuine ser

is that its news, local or tel

ers. Coloring leaves an after bitter
taste in the mouth of the readers.

MAGAZINE WRITER
TO Be ENTERTAINED
The Coming of r. Du Mont Smith
Delayed.

F. Du Mont Smith, the writer who was
expected here last Monday morning,
failed to arrive. and no word was re-
oeived from him until yesterday,
when w S. Goldsworthy. the general
agent of the Santa Fe, learned that
he had gone to San Francisco. and
had been compelled to defer his
visit to the Salt River valley until
later in the month.
Word was sent TO a number Of
prominent men in the valley early
in July that Mr.. Smith was about
to make a trip over the line of the
Santa Fe to gather material for a
number of articles descriptive of the
west, and western scenery 1t was
urged that every preparation possible
be made for his entertainment, and
that arrangements be made to take
him to the Roosevelt dam, and other
points of interest in the valley.
The Board of Trade will take part
in entertaining Mr.. Smith after his
arrival in the city, and he will be
taken to the Roosevelt dam. Aside
from the courtesy which will be ex-
tended to him as a writer of promi-
hence, a specit effort will be made
to place data on irrigation at his
command to be used in magazine
articles which are certain to have
q wide circulation, Mr.. Smith is
president of the Kansas Publishing
company. and is a correspondent of
The Earth, a Santa Fe publication,
as well as other prominent periodi-
Gals.
The date of his arrival is not de-
finitely known, but the telegram re-
ceived yesterday indicates that he
will probably reach Phoenix on Aug
ust II. He expects to leave San
Francisco on August IA. and the Salt
River valley will be his next objec-
tive point.

Mr.. TEMPLES MISSION
TO SEEK NEEDED REST
Late Strenuous Life of Superintendent
of Sonora Railway.

II. j. Tempe, the superintendent of
the Sonora Railway, of Sonora, Mex
leo, arrived in Phoenix yesterday
morning to spend several days with
friends. This is the first opportun-
ity he has had for a vacation since
the outbreak of the revolution. and
when asked TO make a statement of
the conditions of his company's line
in Mexico, he said last night:
Il left Empalme a few days ago
to take a good rest. and L don't
want even to talk about business.
All l will say iS.that the damage our
line suffered during the revolution
has been repaired, and that our trains
are running on schedule time.
think the situation down here is well
in hand, and We are not anticipating
any more trouble"
The Sonora Railway extends from
Nogales, on the border, to Guaymas.
harbor city on the east side of the
Gulf of California. The main offices
of the company are located in EN-
paine, a town situated about five
miles from Guaymas, where the yard
facilities were superior to the grounds
available for that purpose in Quay
mas.
There were few railroads in Mex.
leo that suffered greater loss during
the revolution than the Sonora road.
Bridges were blown up, track lifted in
many places, and at times il was
only at the greatest hazard that
trains could be sent out for even the
shortest runs. 1t was not an infre-
quest occurance for a train To be
stopped by a band of rurales, or
revolutionists, to be searched for
sympathiZers with the party oppos-
ing that of the searchers
A short time after the close of the
revolution the losses of the Southern
Pacific in Mexico were estimated at
100000 by Colonel Eppes Randolph,
who was in better position to be
accurately informed on the extent
of the losses than any other railroad
man in the southwest. The Southern
Pacific promptly took steps to re-
pair their lines, and did not allow
their great program Of railroad build
ing to be interferred with. The lines
in Sonora will draw for traffic on
one of the richest states of Mexico.
and may reasonably be expected to
be ultimately numbered among the
richest auxialiary lines of the entire
system.
