I ter ny higher than the banks of the
Smiling Pool.
Why. Whye-e. Something must
have happened TO him and he has
fallen into the Smiling Pool" gasped
Peter. staring round eyed at the
place where the stranger had disap-
pesred. AS he stared there was an
other great splashing. and up In the
air rose the stranger. sending a
shower OF sparkling drops In all d.
rections. With heavy wing beats he
rose. and then Peter saw that in his
claws was clutched something
something big. For Just second
Peter feared 10 look lest he should
see his old friend Jerry Muskrat
, clutched In those great. cruel claws.
But he did look. and when he saw
that that something was shining and
silvery he knew that II wasn't Jerry.
II was q Ash. q big nsh.
Up. up rose the stranger and then
turned. and with great wing-beats
headed straight back for the Green
Forest. taking the big Ash with him
As soon a. he felt that II was safe
to DO so. Peter came out OF his re-
treat and hurried 10 the bank OF the
Smiling Pool. There sat Jerry
Muskrst on his old log quite as n
nothing surprising and unusual had
happened He was munching away
on a tender lily.root.
What did you run away for" he
demanded OF Peter as soon as Peter
came in sight.
why. to hide from that fellow, OF
course" replied Peter, pointing In
the direction OF the big stranger.
Where did you hide!"
"H,de7 Me hide," exclaimed Jer.
~, and stopped eating to stare at
Peter TO see u he were In earnest
What should hide for For that
matter. what did you hide for! no
you mean to say you were afraid OF
that fellow? Ho. no, no! That's a
joke Why. he wouldn't harm a hair
OF your head or mine"
Peter looked doubtful. Who Is
he?" he demanded. He's Hawk,
isn't he? I wouldn't trust a Hawk
as far as ! can see one"
THAT just shows how ignorant
you are" retorted Jerry. That Is
Piunger the Osprey. He is a Hawk,
II In true, but he lives wholly on nsh.
and you haven; a thing in the world

sentatives from the Chamber of Com
merce for a final conference to be
held at Mogollon at an early date

ONCE REGISTERED
CAN'T CHANGE
AFF|L|AT|ON
So Says Attorney General Wiley {.
Jones in Letter to Cochise County
Inquiry. Voters VIII Be Interested.

BISBEE, May 3O.-According to an
opinion handed down by Wiley E.
Jones. attorney general, those who
have registered for the fall primaries
mo party must let that classification
stand. Since the registration opened
there has been considerable question
as to the right of prospective voter
to declare his politics one way and
then to change that declaration.
The following copy of a letter to
James F. Mcdonald, secretary of the
Cochise County Democratic central
committee, explains the matter and
is warning to those who desire to
register from this time on.
Do not register certain politics un-
less that is the party desired.
J. F. Mcdonald, Esq, Secretary
Cochise County Democratic Cen
trail Committee, Bisbee, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 25th inst; was
duly received, wherein you ask if
parties who have registered as non
partisan can now change their regis
tration and register as Democrats 1
presume that means: Is there any
provision of law in the State govern
ing that point? And 1 must state
that there is not.
The law requires a person to regis
ter under oath and when he registers
under oath he gives his party politics.
II is unfortunate that the elector did
not know his politics at the time of
his registration, or at least did not
give his politics to the registration of
ficer when he swore to the affidavit.
l have the same inquiry from the
county recorder at Tombstone, dated
the 26th inst. He had previously come
to the same conclusion which 1 am
herein expressing to you. If parties
are permitted to change at their will
from one party to another up to the
time the registration closes, you can
readily see how confusing it would be.
Hon. Frank Duffy was in my office
this morning, and he spoke of having
ha6 the matter brought to his atten-
| ton, but he expressed no knowledge
of any law authorizing an elector to
change party affiliations upon the
great register after having once
registered under that utilization under
oath.
1 am going to examine futher into
the subject, to ascertain if there is
any decision upon similar laws in
other states which might be in point,
and if find anything authorizing such
change, l will notify you and also
the county recorder at Tombstone
Very truly yours,
WILEY E. JONES,
Attorney General E.

camp at North Siding and commence
work on the road to the river. The
first heavy work will be the construc-

and dollars. The new Link is eX-

MORENCI ACCEPTS CHALLENGE
WITH A VENGEANCE

Rather than see the Clifton fans
take more violent steps and also to
protect the whole camp from any
more of such attempts at poetry, the
young men of Morenci have rehabili-
tated their base ball organization.
The first game of the inter-city SER
les will be played on Sunday, June
18th, at Morenci, where much labor
and money is being expended to
furnish the spectators with COM
Portable stand and the players with a
good field for the exposition of their
talents.
This display of life is due to the
efforts of Colin Bury, business man.
ager, and Bill Porri and Bud Stanley,
who at present are devoting time and
energy towards the development of
team. The financial support given
by both of the companies is not to be
overlooked for it . is through this
medium that the reorganization of
base ball in Morenci is possible.
Nothing better than the statement
of those in charge of the new ball
club can express the sentiment Of
true craftsmanship, on which the
team will base it's activities.
Two essential parts make up a ball
game, one, the two teams to engage
in the play, and the other, and by no
means a lesser part, is large number
of supporters, interested fans. Now
if absolute amateurism and home-tal-
ent can stimulate such enthusiasm,
Morenci will have both the team and
the fans. Those playing with the
team are pledged to expect no re-
enumeration and to play and practice
for the pleasure and diversion deriv-
ed therefrom.
Crittenden, Thompson, Mason, STAN
ley, Porri, Evans, Rogge, Fowler, and
Mclean are the old talent who will
try for the team. Besides these, Mo-
renci has a large squad of new ma
terial to select from.

OLNEY IS GAINING
AS GOV. HUNT
TOBOGGANS
Senator StapIey in City, Reporting on
Political Aspect of State-Graham
County Lined Up Solid for Phoenix
Man; Farmers Want Market

DOUGLAS, June 2.-Senator o. S.
Stapley, of Maricopa county, arrived
here last night as representative Of
Salt River valley farmers and mer-
chants looking for a market for hay
Incidentally, he is believed to be quiet
ly working in behalf of the candidacy
of George A. Olney for governor. He
has just visited Pima and Santa
Cruz counties, and reports that it is
the concensus of opinion everywhere
he has been that Olney's strength is
increasing in about the same ratio
that Hut's prestige is waning through
the state.
Graham county is practically unan-
imous for Olney," he said this after
noon at the Roy hotel, and ella coun-
ty is lining up in fine shape"
Farmers Sign Petition
Stapley explained that he is not the
man who started the recall petition
against Gov. Hunt.
Il became interested the recall
petition" said Senator Stapley, ''be-
cause of the fact that Hunt has al
ways asserted that only the railroads
and corporations were opposed to
him. l circulated it in the Salt river
valley, where 1000 farmers signed it,
just to prove to the governor that
there are others and substantial citi-
zens at that, who would like to see
change in the administration of the
state"
Stapley is a merchant of Mesa.
He reports the valley more prosperous
than ever before in its history. The
output of grain, alfalfa and dairy
products has been large. Prosperity
in the agricultural sections of the
state has been coincident with pros
rerity in the copper camps.
Il have always maintained" said
Stapley this afternoon, that the
prosperity of the agricultural and min
ing industries must and does go hand
in hand"

Greenlee county is extremely fortunate in
being able to present to the Secretary of Agricrl
ture unparalleled claims for good apportionment
from the appropriation of one million dollars an
nually for the construction of highways within
forest reserves The GDa, Datil, and Apache
Reserves bound Greenlee county the north and
the Clifton Morenci district will furnish a ready
market for all kinds of forest products. In ad
diton, progressive Board of Supervisors has

that they are willing to cooperate with the De-

lines. 1t would appear that several good things
are in store for Greenlee county during the pres
