Dental council, and three Secretaries Of
War, Proctor. D1kins and A1ger. were at
one time holding Office together. Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith left Washington in Septem-
Der, 1896. They have come here since
at rare intervals. and only in passing
through, during all these years.
I'm one sense I feel as though I had
left Washington only yesterday" said
Mrs. Smith, and, again. when I look
about the city it seems as though it must
be several centuries ago. The city has
changed in the most amazing way, and,
must confess, for it's benefit. though 1
miss familiar places. and resent that
great tall Office building is where I used
to see pretty. notwithstanding church,
and that lovely old homes. endeared to
me by the presence of friends, are gone,
and big apartment houses stand in their
places. Still, the change must be de-
plored in it's intrusion on the traditional
residential sections. I almost wept when
/ saw that Connecticut avenue was nearly
iiven over to business, and that the few
private individuals who chung to old
homes there are getting ready to move
farther westward. In my day Connecti-
cut avenue was nothing but woods be-
yond Dupont Circle. But I cannot put
myself down in the unprogressive list
and the experience Of Washington is that
of every live American city, business
needing elbow room and forcing the resi-
dental portions into the adjacent coun-
try. In spite OF what Is said about the
Kaleidoscope aspect of American public
life, 1 find many old and valued friends
still serving Uncle Sam. and many of
those whom 1 know in residential soci-
ETY. are still here and have given me a
gratifying welcome.

Many changes have come in these
years since 1 lived here, and, while I
rejoice to be here again, am content
to play more retired part and to per-
nit my young daughter to assume many
of the duties which fall to me. Next
winter. perhaps. 1 shall be more ener-
getic and see more of my friends and
meet The new people of Washington
One thing which makes me realize the
flight of time is that the children I left
here mere infants, as it were, are
greeting me as full grown men and Wom-

 Of State Rangers

With the organization last week of . Cattlemen'a Association in Cochi.e county impetus has been given the movement to secure the passage by the fret Arizona state legislature of a measure creating body similar in most respects to that maintained for years by the territory, the members of which were known AS he Arizona Rangers. So urgent bss the need come, say the cst,lemep. for these cat tie police. no stone ~ill be left un- turned in an sffort to bring about he adoption of the proposed bill.
 While CochIse will maintain for 6 time 8 sms.l force of rangers or h. spectors to prevent just such dspre- dations, the work of snch bojy must of necessity te limited, and the idea has already spread to other Arizona sections, With the result that there is talk of entesvoring to have the state provide for sufficient body to guard the general range lands of the entire state.
