Ives Is a Candidate.

Senator B. $. Ives of Tucson, one of Arizona's brightest law yerS and Democrat through and through, has announced himself as a candidate for dele gate from Arizona to the Nation al Democratic convention to he held in Baltimore, according to Tucson papers.
 MT. Ives, upon his arrival home from Washington the other day. where he had been on le- gal business before the Supreme Court, said:
 II have for some time delayed announcing myself a candidate for delegate to the national con ventiOn because I believed there might be other Democrats and good friends of mine who were eager for that opportunity to assist in the selection of a Demo cratic presidential candidate, :" said MT. Ives.
 But since no one else appears to have made any definite an nouncement. I have decided to actively seek my own choice as delegate.
 On May 29th the Democratic state primaries will be held. The National Democratic Con- vention will be held in Baltimore on June 25th to express the preference of this state for a presidential candidate.

Harry Barnett, Postmaster at
 Patagonia, owner of valuable
 mining property near Patagonia, spent Thursday in the city re- turning home yesterday. Mr.
 Barnett is an enthusiastic citi- zen of the second city in the county. He has recently visited the great 3-R copper-silver bo- nanza and says it is certainly a world -beater. Everybody in Pa tagonia is happy over the advent into that section of MT. Amster and his wealthy associa- tas who are pushing the deve- lopment of their great bonanza under the personal direction of w. $. Sultan, MT. AmSter's per Sonal representative. A big force of men is now being employed by MT. Sultan who is making the Three-R bigger and better, every day. Mr.. Barnett stated that the property is many times more valuable than any one be- lieved and everybody connected is going to win big returns. Yes terday morning he returned to Patagonia after tranSacting pri ate business here.
 M. I. Pomeroy, of Mesa City, one of the lucky boys in the Mesa Seven Lake Oil Company, mention of which was made in last weeks BORDER VIDETTE who is also a stockholder and director in the Inter- State Oil Company of Nogales, has been a visitor in the city couple of days, leaving for his home at Mesa City this morning. MT. Pomeroy brought with him a gallon of high-grade parafine oil produced from the Mesa Seven Lake Oil Company's New Mex ican oil field, which local oil experts agree is second to none in the United States. The local people who have invested in Inter State Oil stock are to be congratulated. The company owns 16O acres of land one mile and half from one of the best producing wells in the field, on which the new oil boring ma chine ordered by wire Thursday will be placed, and operated by high-class experienced oil people who are familiar with all the conditions existing in the new field. Thirty days after the machine is in place the Inter- State Oil Company expect to strike oil. Then watch 'em grow.

ARIZONA NATIONAL GUARDS. Regular Army Officer Now Drilling
 GuardSmen.

With all companies of the Arizona National Guards under orders to recruit up to full strength, using particular care in the choice of applicants, Lieut.. F. F. Jewett, the regular army officer detailed to instruct and inspect the national guard of Arizona, is about to make appli- cation to the adjutant general for completely equipped medi- cal corps for the national guard. , Lieut.. Jewett plans medical corps of 30 men to be appOrtion- ed among the medical officers of the regiment. They are to be allowed to recruit their own men and train themselves. Hitherto it is stated, company command CTS have in some instances man. ifeSted the tendency to recOm- mend to the medical officers men whom they have been unable to convert into soldiers.
 The guardsmen are being carefully drilled now with much more care than usual given to certain detlils. It is expected that marching shoes will soon be issued to the guardsmen of Arizona, as has been done in the case of the California National Guard Citizen.

BY THE GOVERNOR or ARIZONA
 A PROCLAMATION.

1no MlnuUo- -DOOh O1 UIlG U IllOu S daily record of events" discloses situation so appalling as to draw from the President of the United States this appeal, di- rected to the Governor of Ariz- ona.
 Conditions of distress result ing from the flood in the Lower Mississippi Valley have assum- ed such intensity and magnitude that it has become my duty as President of the American Red Cross to make known the facts, in order that the people of the United States may express their sympathy in a substantial form. Fully twenty five thousand per sons are now homeless and de- pendent on the generosity of the country for food and shelter and the number is steadily increasing. The Army is doing everything possible to provide shelter and food to met the immediate emergency, but the equally importan task of conducting the relief camp, maintaining health and restOr ing the flood refugees to their homes under conditions which will enable them to return to normal condition of life, rests upon the local authorities and the Red Cross. Many thousands of people will return to their homes to find their houses and farm equipment, and food sup plies for themselves and their farm animals, almost or wholly destroyed. Questions of health which inevitably arise from the gathering of great numbers of camps, are already becoming acute and to these will be added others even more serious when theNwaters subside. Typhoid, dysentery, smallpox, malaria and other diseases threaten, and must if possible, be prevented by prompt and vigorous meas ureS. For this task resources far in excess of those now at command will be essential. If you, as President of your State Red Cross Board, see fit to supple ment this publication by procla- nation to the people of your state, the force of the appeal will be greatly strengthened. Contributions received by your State Board should be duly cre- dited by your board treasurer and tramitted to the national treasurer in Washington.
 Now, THEREFORE, l, GEO. w. P. HUNT, Governor of Arizona, in recognition of the appeal of the head of the Nation and of the Red Cross, and mindful of the need which exists for prompt and substantial help to the affiict-l ed of the Mississippi Valley, do hereby call upon the great-heart- ed liberal people of Arizona to give the means, in such sums as their worldly goods may justify and their sympathies dictates.
 Contributions to this most worthy cause may be deposited with or sent to Miss c. c. Gil christ, Superintendent of Char ities, Phoenix, Arizona, who will receipt therefor, and will trans init the same to the national treasurer of the Red Cross in Washington.
 Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 2Oth day of April, 1912.
 GEO. w. P. HUNT,
 Governor of Arizona.
