MARK SMITH REPUDIATED
 BY OLD FRIEND DUNBAR

No development in the Arizona DO liticaI situation for many months has been received with more surprise than the absolute repudiation of Senator Mark Smith by his old friend, John O. Dunbar.
 Dunbar, who is now publishing a weekly paper at Phoenix, does not approve the appointment of Lewis T. Carpenter as collector of internal revenue or of Joe Dillon as United States marshal. He planes Smith for both appointments and declares that the senator stands no chance of reelection.
 For more than thirty-fve years John Dunbar and Mark Smith have been bosom friends. Dunbar's young est son is named for Smith. That same son was offered the position of Smiths private secertary when Mark became senator. Whenever. Smith came to Phoenix he stayed at the Dunbar home. Hundreds of red-hot editorials in defense of Smith have come from the trenchant pen cil of John Dunbar.
 Now Dunbar says that Smith is no good, that he does not stand by his friends, that he is turncoat. his paper he declares that Smith threw a sop to the Hunt element of the Democratic party when he con- sented to the appointment of Dillon and Carpenter.
 Dunbar wanted his son Mark, to land the position of clerk of the federal court. He expected Smith to help him. But after Smith named the judge, the place went to George w. Lewis. John O. did not like that any too well.
 George A. Olney and others once threw Dunbar out of the position of editor of the now defunct Ar1- zona Democrat. Smith did not like that little bit and wrote Olney so. He stated that he had bought stock in the Democrat merely because Dunbar was connected with it. Later Dunbar was taken back for time, mainly because of Smiths influence. After that incident, however, Dunbar and Smith never were the friends they were before Tucson Citizen.

 CURRENCY ISSUED BY DIAZ
Currency Issued by Certain Banks of Mexico Under the Regime of Diaz is Completely repudiated by Northern RebeIs-WiII Seriously Affect Financial
 Affairs of Several
 States.

CHIHUAHUA, February 1-The cur rency issued by the Bank of Sonora, the Bank of Minero, and other banks established under the DiaZ regime, will be treated as counterfeit money after February 10, under a decree issued by the rebel government today. The free and unlimited coinage of silver will be ordered as a means of providing ample money.
 The embargo against the old bank currency will render worthless in the rebel territory, millions of dollars is in paper money. A mint has been es- tablished for the coinage of silver bearing the constitutional stamp.
 The rebel government is already in possession of much bullion which will be coined to enrich the treasury. It is announced that large American smelter interests, which controls in dustries in Colorado and other parts of the United States, has entered into an arrangement for the immediate opening of the Chihuahua smelter which has been closed for many months.
 - Under the terms the rebels are to receive large percentage of the min ing and shelter profits Assertions of Villa that he is second to Carranza, is confirmed by official documents, all of which refer to Carranza as the chief.

CHAMP CLAk INITIATES THAT

Baltimore Audience Also Heard Mis- sourian Predict Borah Will Be Next G. O. P. Candidate for
 President

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2.-'1 ought to be in the White House tonight 9 Speaker Champ Clark said at the an- nual dinner here of the Merchants and Manufacturers association.
 If we had had that primary cleo tion law in 1912 I woud be there," he added.
 Those who heard MT. Clark's speech said it showed that he has not yet forgotten the defeat which he suffered at the hands of his own party at the national convention in Baltimore. He suggested in no uncertain manner that he would be the next president of the United States, and he predicted that Senator Borah of Idaho would be the nominee of the Republican party in 1916, and his opponent in the gen. eral election.
 His Respects to Roosevelt.
 The speaker also said that Roose- welt knew a little bit more about things than any other man on earth, and he declared the Monroe doctrine stood as a warning to all nations of Europe to keep their hands off this continent or die.

EXPRESS RATES GREATLY RE-
 DUCED, EFFECTIVE FEB, 1ST
WeIIs-Fargo Announces That Effec- tive Feb. 1,Sweeping Reductions, Especially on Small Parcels,
 Are Effective-County is Di-
 vided into System of Zones.

W. F. Seidel, manager of the Cliff
 ton office of the Wells-Fargo Express
 company, has received, with agents of the company throughout the coun try, a booklet announcing the many changes of the service, concerning the new and greatly reduced rates which became effective February 1. From this booklet, it is seen that the new rates are sweeping, in many in- stances being, reduced one-half and from their operation an appreciably increased volume of patronage is eX- pected to follow.
 Under the direction of the Inter state Commerce Commission, a very compete system of zones divides the entire United States, these zones themseves being subdivided into many smaller zones. With the sys- tenn thus obtained, the work of the agents and employees of the compan- ies, all of which will follow the sys- tenn, will be greatly facilitated. Also the shippers of the country will find great convenience in the operation under the new system.
 The most salient points of the new rates are that small parcels can be shipped at greatly reduced rates, re- gardless of the number of companies concerned with the article transport ed; that many lines of merchandise, notably coffees, teas, and canned goods, are carried at practically one half the former price; that insurance rates on goods transported are great ly reduced, and the minimum charge on parcels carried has been materi- ally reduced. tt is estimated that on the whole the rates for the coun- try are reduced aout seventeen per cent.
 The operation of the governments parcel post system has made serious inroads upon the income of the ex- press companies, and to recover the lost trade has determined the man agement of the companies upon the reductions in prices.
 That the express copmanies be enabled to- enjoy the same net revenue as enjoyed before the opera tion of the parcel post system, it will be necessary to greatly increase the gross income over that of the years before the advent of the parcel post, as the greatly reduced charges will result in a depreciation of the net income, thus making inevitable, in the maintaining. of the former net revenue, the handling of much larger quantity of commodities. It is expected by the companies that the announcement of the sweep ing reductions will recover a large quantity of the patronage enjoyed be- fore the entrance into the transpor- tation field of the governments par eel post.

ably will be finished by February I, 1914, the Panama canal will be a completed project Then will come the question of organizing it's operat- ing force.
 It will require at least 2,700 per sons to operate the canal. The major portion of this force will be engaged on the port works at the two ends of the canal. With large mechanical plant at Balboa, provided with docks for the trans-shipment of cargo, more men will be needed for the conduct of the auxiliary work than for ac- tually putting the ships through the locks.

proposed extension of the Clifton Metcalf road.
 The Clerk was instructed to issue calls for the submitting of bids for the supplying of corrugated iron pipes to be used on the county's roads during the present year.
 Chas. Pickney was selected to audit the county's accounts for the six-months' period ending January 1, 1914.
 Board of Supervisors, was granted a leave of absence until February 15, 1914.
 Assessor Kerby was granted an as- sistant concerning the addition to his duties of the collection of road taxes, heretofore the assessor being without this duty, collecting school taxes only. s-.
 pnis' Plans for Road Maintenance Approved.
 The Board, at it's Monday meeting, decided to put into operation, over a portion of the roads of the county, the plans for maintenance as out lined by Road Engineer Tunis at a meeting of the Board some weeks since, at which time they delayed ac-
 
 system which will first be operated upon the Clifton-Metcalf and Clifton Morenci roads, and the roads leading from Clifton to Duncan, is that all the roads of the county shall be divided into sections, each section to be un- der the direct supervision of a fore man who shall be appointed by the Supervisors, and whose actions shall at all times be subservient to the county engineer.
 Should the systems operation on the Clifton Metcalf and Clifton-Moren- ci roads, with those leading toward Duncan, be successful it is entirely probable that the entire road length of the county will be so managed.
 On the Clifton-Metcalf and Clifton Morenci roads, all of which are 1n- cluded within Section No. 1, Geo. Truesdale has been by the Supervis- ors placed in charge, while on Sec tion No 2, which includes the roads leading from Clifton to Duncan, for distance as yet undetermined, Mark Cranberry has been placed in charge as foreman.
 While the success of the system must be determined by an operation of the time of several months, yet it is felt by those in charge of the administration of the county roads that much benefit will result, and that in the end the economy of the sys- tenn will be apparent. The costly nature of the construction of the new roads leading from Clifton to Morenc1 and Metcalf demands that the ques- ton of their maintenance be con sidered of constant importance, it be- ing known among road engineers that the maintenance of such roads IS of as much importance as their 1n1- tial cost. -1AAM1
