 PHOENIX, Ariz., March 2O.-Theo- dore Roosevelt completed his tour through the Southwestern states when he departed tonight for Los Angeles.
 Roosevelt's ideas of Arizona s Statehood Constitution, as expressed in his speech today, aroused no little interest His declaration that the Federal government should imme- diately admit the Territory into the Union, although he opposed the re call provision of the Constitution as applied to the judiciary, wGs the main topic of conversation. When he declared himself as to the recall of the iudiciary,a voice from the crowd declared, "We are going to have it, too,' while from another section of the audience came this ad- ditional statement. ''We need it.''
 Roosevelt paused a moment, and then replied: "When you say you are going to have it, I agree with you. It is your right, if you want it, but when you say you need it, I do not agree with you.'
 Roosevelt's Address.
 I regret that Arizona was not ad- mitted to Statehood by the last Con gress and I trust that the next Con aress, will, without fail. admit it. The objections to admitting it I re gard as without warrant of justice these objection have been chiefly or entirely due to the fact that Arizona has adopted in its. Con the referendum. initiative and recall. I do not agree with the form in which Arizona has adopted the recall. especially as regards the judiciary; but while I regret that Arizona should have adopted the re- call in this fashion. I not merely admit but insist that this is a matte- purely for Arizona's own decision, and that neither the opinion of my self nor of any other outsider on the subject has the slightest bearing on Arizona's right to the privilege of Statehood. What the views of New York and Texas upon the ques- ton may be has nothing whatever

March 2O.-Foi- lowing the rumor that the forces of Leyva and Berthold were at Tecate. a courier arrived with message, today. stating that the insurgents are surrounded in the mountains be- yond Laguna Salada. and are cut ofs from water supply.

Smyrna times., 1911-03-15

Smyrna Town Council will be do
ing splendid thing if they will
authorize at once the scraping of
the mud off of macadam CD Com
merce Street. This work should be
done right after the frost is out of
the ground and before the hot days
of spring enter in. Commerce street,
the thoroughfare between the railroad
depot and the boat landing, is one of
Smyrna's busiest streets and while
the town may not afford to brick it
like Main street, they can at least
afford to keep it clean and the mud
removed. A more vigilant attention
to this matter will be appreciated
not only by pedestrians but people
generally who use the street.

question of site and building of the
postoffice is up to the Supervising
Architect of the Treasury Depart
ment. 1t now remains for some
effort on the part of the people of
Smyrna through Delaware's Represen
tatives in Congress to urge and per-
sistently urge early action. The
good days of spring and summer will
soon be with US when if any thing is
to be accomplished, it should be
then. But "large bodies move
slowy" and Smyrna may simply
have to wait its turn.
Smyrna times., 1911-03-15

There is no reason why Smyrna
should not increase its corporate
limits to include "Spruance City"
Instead of showing a population be-
low 1000 we would run considerably
above it. Spruance City, Smyrna
Landing and Duck Creek are really
and naturally part of Smyrna and
collectively have a population of
several hundred people, but Smyr-
ma is not given credit for it in
the census. 1t would be to
Smryna's benefit and better show
ing to the outside world if we could
consistently increase our corporate
limits. This would bring in a num-
ber of families just residing on the
border edge of the corporation that
should be included when the census
is taken.

RoBT d. HoFFECKER,
Editor and Business Manager.

In paying our respects to the
memory of Delaware's distinguished
iurist, Hon. Charles B. Lore, whose
death occurred in Wilmington last
week, we can but endorse what our
contemporary The Wilmington Star
which fttingly and appropriately
says: "The late Chief Justice Lore
had so long been a familiar figure
in the public life of this State that
one can hardly realize that he is
gone. In the nature of things his
activities had abated somewhat of
recent years, but the moral in
fuence he exerted in the community
has not abated in any sense. Indeed
his death has strengthened that in
fluence by focusing public attention
more intently upon the kind of man
he was and the sort of life he led.
Everyone has something good to say
of the dead, but here is a case
where the epitaph and the truth are
in harmony.
"Judge Lore's most striking quail
ity was his democracy. He was a
man of the people, by the people
and for the people. But he was no
demagogue, seeking popular favor
by appealing to popular prejudice.
He could and did resist public 5enti-
ment when he thought public senti-
ment was wrong, but fortunately
he did not often need to oppose the
popular will. He had abiding faith
in the good sense and integrity of
the average man, and all the acts of
his life and especially of his public
life, were the fruits of that faith.
"Mr. Lore was honored by the
State of Delaware in many ways,
but he gave to it in return full
measure of honor in faithful anc
valuable service. The places he oc.
cupied materially in life will b,
filled by others, but the places ht
occupied in the hearts of the people
will remain vacant.

location and town improvements
(water, sewer, electric lights, gas
and paved streets) why Smyrna
should not show a population of
1000 or more. Get in back of the
Board of Trade movement. DO it
for Smyrna. Let's boom our town
with a determination that the next
decade when the census is taken, we
will show remarkable progress.
Other towns with not half the nat
ural advantages of Smyrna have done
it, why not Smyrna.
Smyrna times., 1911-03-15

The feeling Of not few promi-
nent residents of Smryna. is that
there has been some mistake in re-
porting or tabulating Smyrna's CEN
sus returns. At the census of 1890
Smyrna showed a population of 2454
and this year it shows 1849 or fall
ing off of Gil. The shortage this
year over the census of 1900 is 325.
1t seems almost increditable that
with the march of progress and the
enterprise of Smyrna, that it would
show such a loss in the last two
decades, but such are the figures
given out to the press. An effort is
bein0 made to get at the bottom of
the matter and it is not improbable
that Smyrna Town Council may order
a census taken on its own account.
1t is to be hoped a revision will be
necessary and Smyrna can show up
at least fourth place in the down
State towns.

THE LA PLATA MOUNTAINS AND
MINES.

Written for the Railroad Red Book; by
W. A Stewart.
An ounce of deciphering of the struc-
tural geology of a mining region is
eminently OF more usefulness to the
miner than q pound of theories con-
cerning the origin of ore deposits.
This invaribly applies to mining sec
ti0ns. but especially is 1t true OF the
Mining district adjacent to Durango.
For several years there has been
but little genuine activity in the dis
trict. due largely to a lack of a
thorough knowledge as to the true
geological conditions, which have
been to a more or less extent difficult
to master. by virtue of the numerous
faults, and the persistant chain Of
breaks and sheets. the sedimentries-
exhibiting an extensive series OF in
trusive diorite and prophyries.
Recent production, however. has
brought the willing investor face to
face with the real situation, which
makes for a more permanent develop
ment and insures an increased produc-
ton against a decreased cost. This is
obviously true when the question Of
production and the value of ore that
Is daily extracted from mines, is con-
sidered. There seems to have been
too little attention paid to this district
when one considers the vast sums Of
money taken from her mines, at a
turns, than any mining district in
Colorado.
1t no doubt comes as a surprise at
this time, to the every day reader. to
learn that the above named district
possesses the largest dividend paying
mine in the state, based upon monthly
dividends for the fiscal year. 1t is
confidently predicted by those in a
position to know. that by the close
of 1911 there will be added to the
already substantial numbers OF prop
upon facilities, much greater aggre-
cation OF properties, that will yield
prolitically, and swell tonnage produc-
ton. The facilities for operating in
this section are not to be excelled,
because ideally located, with respect
to commercial advantages. transpor-
tation. and close proximity to Duran
gos modern smelter. The Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad passes with
in few hundred yards of some OF
these properties where the ore is
loaded and supplies promptly received.
