.C0CH|SE COUNTY
 QUEEN RET|CENT
State Fair Will Be Dead Without Representation
 From Copper District
NEW NAMES PROPOSED

So far the queen Of the counties of
 the state. dear old Cochise.' has no 1 candidates for Queen of Arizona. a
 crown to be conferred by vote and 10
 be bestowed during the first state fair.
 There have been queens of Arizona
 in ages gone by,Swhether or not the record Of 1t can be found in the pages of history. Her beautifully formed
 skull may be moldering underneath
 the plains or inisome pitch-black cave but for time she was recounted the
 most beautiful woman of her tribe Who she was or what were her pc, culiar characteristics Of beauty can
 not be told for her people did not formally declare her 10 be the queen of beauty of the tribe. She was none
 the less queen however. ..r Who Is Arizona Queen? Who is queen of Arizona today !? There is a queen who is just as much a queen as any who yields a scepter. l The most queenly Is determined by comparison and the result of the vote that will be declared during the fair at Phoenix will be the result of the comparison.
 Other counties are sending in the names Of their candidates to the state fair commission but no one has pro posed a Cochise beauty for the title of queen and its perquisites. It is a somewhat delicate matter to be handled, according to a member of i the fair commission but all that is needed is a start.
 Fair Commission Liberal One thousand votes will be given [ by the fair commission one each nom l ination blank but the trouble Is 10 get the nominations for after that 1t ] will be easy. 4 silent admireT may ! feel a delicacy in proposing the name of the object of his silent admiration,
 even adoration, for the title of queen 1 of Arizona, but once she is nominated and in the race be might with perfect
 propriety accord her his vote. It seems to be mp to the lucky-in-loye | to propose the names of Cochise can ] didates and then let the silent admir- CTS do the rest.t'
 Tt will never do for Cochise county ! to remain idle and let some other 1 county walk away win this honor.
 when, as everyone knows. the most 1 beautiful and queenly of Arizona wo. men reside in Cochise county" said l J. R. Henderson, of the fair commits sion yesterday. Those young men.
 middle-aged men or old men, who wish to enter candidates for the com petition for queen should begin their
 campaign right away. l will be glad
 to give them any information regard ] ing the contest that they may desire. :"

RISBEE HAS A NEW
 WEATHER OBSERVER
Teacher of Science in High School Succeeds Rev. :. i, !,
 l. c. 1Pritchard f

L. x. Gooding. ieaeher of science in the Bisbee high school. has been appointed goyernmeut seather ob1 server for Bisbee. succeeding Rev. J. G. Pritchard, who resigned when he determined to sell out his property here and return to his native land of Wales.
 The records of the local station and the spparati for measuring weather have been transferred 10 Mir Good ing by Director Briggs, of Phoenix, who has been in the city for this pur- pose. The new station will be at the Central school building, where the rain gauge and maximum and mini mum thermometers and other appara- ti have been installed.
 Makes Weekly Report During the summer the local ob- server makes a report to Phoenix once a week, the weekly record being brought up to Friday. and Sunday morning the observations are teie- graphed to Washington. Ts the win ter the records are forwarded to Phoenix only once a month.
 Rev. Mir. PTitchard has been ob- server at Bisbee for twenfy-four and half years aud for long service probably holds the record for the southwest.
 T have been observing the weather in Bisbee for nearly twenty five years,P said Mir Pritchard yesterday, ''and no two years have been alike. The tendency now is toward more humidity and more rainfall. as shown by the increasing annual rainfall AL ready the precipitation as recorded at the local station is two inches more than the previous average.
 Humidity Grows
 Tt has been my observation that the weather in a given section extend ing over a period Of years moves from one extreme to another. Before 1 took charge of the local station, there was a period of high humidity and precipitation such as We seem to be entering upon now.
 It is difficult to get the average mean of rainfall for this district on account of it's topography. We never get the full amount of precipitation from a cloud unless 1t comes from down the canyon for If 1t comes from any other direction it is broken by the Phills that surround the city. Wind from the east Is also smother sign pro pitious for rain in this distric, but we must look high to observe the di- rection of the wind as in the canyon and gulches there are too many gusts and eddies 10 disturb the nor

TEDDY DID NOT WALK
 ON EAST LAKE WATER
Former President Failed to Carry out Program
 Slated at Phoenix

Theodore Roosevelt failed to come up to the advertising in at least one respect when he spoke at Phoenix several days ago. He spoke 10 a large crowd and gave a splendid ex- hibition according to press reports but he did not walk on the water Of East Lake, which was a promised at traction, according 10 hand bill dis. tributed in Phoenix on the day of the colonels visit here .as
 One of these handbills was receiy. ed through the mail yesterday by a well-known Bisbee politician from a friend in Phoenix, but too late to en. able the Bisbee man to reach Phoenix. Since the performance promised by the entertainment committee" did not come of, it is just as well, how. ever, that he did not go
 The hand bill advertised the follow. ing performance: Teddy will walk on the water of East Lake park at 5:30 ?. m. sharp. He can do it. All be. lieyeTs are especially invited.

LOWELL BRIDGE
 SOME PROBLEM
Railroad Bridge Constructed By Permission of Super visOrs and Change Now
 Would Cost
K. R. SUPT. EXPLAINS

It will be difficult if not impossible
 to remove the cause of complaint rela tive to the bridge below Lowell over which runs the tracks to the Dem mine. as to which comment was made in the Review some time since, Fur ther than this these conditions exist under permission obtained from the board of supervisors that was ig office six years or more ago and has existed under such permission ever since To make any change would entail a heavy expense or the abandoning of these tracks
 Before the September meeting of the board of supervisors, under in structions of the board of directors of the Warren District Commercial club. Secretary Joe Gray wrote to the board and called their attention to the bridge. This letter stated that the up- right support at the center of the road obstructed view from either di- rection and asked that in the interest of public safety steps be taken to remedy the matter. The supervisors took the matter up with the railroad and yesterday Superintendent F. B. King of this division of the road l and gave the roads explanation of the matter
 Removal Expensive
 To remove the timbers that ob- struct the view at this point of the state highway is impossible except at heavy and unwarranted expense. is the statement of Mir King. When the trestle was built the matter was taken up with the board of supervisors and at Mir. Kings suggestion two spans were widened. each four or more feet ! and special timbering put in for the | tracks to be laid on. These timbers | were extra long. At that time the matter was fully explained to the | board that was then in office and il ! satisfied them that fourteen feet be ! left on either side of the support in | the center. MT. King states that no 1 timbers of the required length to ] span the road without central support 1 would bear the strain of a locomotive i and that the only way this could be | done would be to put in concrete 1 foundations at either side of the road 1 and span the thoroughfare with 6 | steel trestle. This would be an eX' l pensiye proposition to undertake.
 Auto Signals Necessary.
 1 Superintendent King thinks that
 signs requiring automobile drivers td
 sound an alarm in either direction before reaching the bridge and to
 slow down at that point would elimi nate the danger and that fourteen feet
 or road for vehicles travelling in each | direction should be sufficient. Signs ! instructing drivers Of any vehicles to l keep to rbe right should also ie i posted. he states, and with these 1 danger of accidents will be minimized l A letter will be sent by Mir King on behalf of the railroad to the board of supervisors, explaining the matter
 to them. and a copy of this will be
 sent to the Commercial club and read | to the directors ar their meeting next week

 The location of the observation station at the Central school build. ing will result in more accurate rain and temperature records for Bisbee proper, owing to the inequality of rainfall and temperature in the dis trict The station was formerly b. cated at the home of Mir.
