HUGHES NOT AN ICEBERG

Mr.. Jack Lait, writing in The Chi
cago Herald of June 16, speaks Of the
general impression which has prevail
ed of Charles E. Hughes, the Republi-
can presidential nominee, as a "cold
storage plant for the preservation of
judicial dignity, whiskers and ice
water" He gives this interesting pen
picture Of the man, who, while of ma
tional repute, has been better known in
New York and the eastern states than
in the west and middle west:
con politics and policies he gives out
stingy written statements. But on less
ticklish topics he talks, and talks like a
human being. He isn't half as dignified
as State street foorwalker or as mys-
terious as a city hall clerk who thinks he
might be talking for publications. He
spits it out the way it comes to hin. and
he doesn't amend it after it comes.
"The most astonishing discovery of
all was something within him which
had been credited to him least Of all.
He has a sense of humor-rich, bubbling
humor. He laughs like child. He has
dimples when he laughs. His eyes
crackle and his chest shakes. He closes
his fists and holds them up and out. |
wish [ had had De Beck with me to
sketch that gesture. One kodak print
of it would revolutionize Americas i'm
preston of the Republican party's presi-
Dental choice. : = s
"His hair and his mustache and his
whiskers are entirely gray, now, but
they do not make him enerable-rather
crisp and classy. The beard, trimmed
to fighting form recently, does not oscil-
late in the breeze It is firm and stubby.
'He is a slight man. I should guess
his weight about 145. His shoulders
are not broad, but his chest stands out
and he bears himself like man in good
physical condition if not like an athlete.
They tell me he likes to walk many miles
a day and that he laments now because
his pastime is denied him."

CITY AND COUNTY
OFFICERS ARE FOR
MRS. MOSHER'S PLAN

The joint city hall and court house
that has been the dream of the people
has been made possible by Mrs. Hattie
l.. Mosher who yesterday offered the
city of Phoenix and the county of
Maricopa a 800, 10000 city block for
that purpose. The property is directly
opposite the Arizona School of Music
on North Central avenue and is
200x300 feet. The offer was made to
the city commissioners and the board
of supervisors who will hold a Joint
meeting shortly TO consider the ac-
ceptance.
1t is understood that the board and
commission are favorably inclined and
that the plan of selling the Washing
ton street halves of the court house and
city hall grounds for proceeds with
which TO erect a magnificent struc-
ture will be put to the people That
the taxpayers win vote unanimously in
favor of the sale is a foregone con :
clusion. they believe, as both buildings
| have long been called "a disgrace to
| Phoenix That the Washington street
frontage will meet reacy sale as bust
ness property is generally conceded
It's value is placed close in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 per foot and a halt
1 million dollars is the estimate on the
sales.
| Mrs. Mosher has not restricted hel
offer in single instance except the
agreement Of the city and the county
to erect the building w1Ich will prob
ably cover the entire block. The
frontage on Central avenue is 200 feet
First street, which is a 100-foot stree
with street car facilities, has 200
foot frontage. Taylor street has 500
foot frontage and between Taylor ant
POLK streets the city will be asked t,
condemn property making a 60-foo
street to correspond to Taylor, com
pleting the block and connecting FRS
street and Central avenue.

HALF CITY BLOCK FOR CITY
AND COUNTY JOINT BUILDING

ticing in Phoenix. | have often heard
the story told of how a bill was put
through the legislature making it I'M
lawful for anyone to act as a medi-
cal practitioner without license UNI
less he had practiced in the city two
years. The bill was introduced by
one of the doctors rivals who had
the necessary two years experience
and ne saw that it carried. DR.. Con-
yers had only been here a short time
and rather than give up his profes
sion" he decided to sell out and
leave the country Father considered
the property. Mr.. Kales. reckoned
one of the shrewdest financiers in
the west, said he would not consider
buying the property at $500. He
would, however be glad to take faith
ers note for the amount which he
thought better than the property con-
tanning a house and income
Mrs. Mosher said it was always I'M
derstood that one block should be
used for some worthy purpose The
block was TO be reserved to be a
credit to the family and the valley"
she declared.
S. d. Lount came to Arizona in
1879 when he established the ice fac
tory which his son William E. Lount
manages today. Before coming to Ar
iona, the family lived in Chattanoo-
oaa 1Ubare Mr. Ount built tho first
ice factory in the world to manufac-
ture ice commercially. He invested
heavily in property during the re-
mainder of his life which he passed
! in Phoenix. He was one of the most
notable characters of his time and
showed the same loyalty and appreci-
alton of his home on many occasions
as his daughter exhibited yesterday
when she made her remarkable offer
to the city and county.

road is to be kept in good condition"
One of the faults in road administra-
ton in New York is the fault that has
onerated in all the states. Men ap-
pointed to oversee tie roads that they
be kept and the construction force
was divorced from the maintenance
force with the result that roads built
At heavy cost were not cared for and
the necessary stitch in time was not
taken when and where the rip began.
1t was not considered of sufficient i'm
portance for the state TO pay the ex-
penses of competent men to examine
the roads constantly and for years the
work of maintenance was suffered to
drift. Today" however, the main
tenance is under the same corps of
men as is the construction, and the
same men. in the field are held respon-
sihle for the maintenance of their roads

Fairly definite ideas have been formed
as to TIE treatmnt of different types
of road and efforts are made by he

This is the way Mrs Hattie L.
Mosher describes the 100000 city
block she will give to the city and
county for the erection of a combi-
nation city hail and court house.
While the board of supervisors, the
city commissioners and the public at

Moshers generous offer, she herself
was not at all concerned save as it
affected the welfare of the city. "A
structure such as this in the heart of
