Frank Geary and associates being number of fans and players. who in habit Phoenix are going to see if it is not possible to put Phoenix on the base ball map, not as the home of seV- eral amateur base ball teams, but as the stamping grounds of one of the best baseball teams in the southwest. To this end, Geary and others. have picked out the best talent in town, drafting from amateur teams, the Pastimcs, the Outlaws and from the southsde.
 The best players to be obtained are on the new list No name has been selected for the new outfit, but that is not bothering any one at present. Geary opines at present that he is go ing to get a team in shape which will be the equal of these maintained at

 The game will be given it's first try out at Superior Sunday, when the new all-stars will go up against the team representing that village.
 Geary is positive that the fans of Phoenix are willing to support a good team in the manner to which it has been acustomed He is of the opinion that if aided by others who are inter- ested in putting the city on the sport map, he can demonstrate he ha5 gathered players who can put up a good average game, he can work up enough interest here to be able finan- cially to bring down the fast teams rom the copper camps fol several games a month.

 The Parker cutoff is said to be in fair shape-in fact it could never be in more than fair shape until perman- ent roads are built. Most are going this way when bound for the Pacific coast. However. reports indicate that both this route, Yuma and. probably, Ash Fork way are being used to some extent though the weather of the past few days may have had some effect upon the route via Ash Fork and Pres colt.
 Most of the rivers have gone down some in the past few days and trouble in fording has not been so frequently reported as it was a week ago.

The old Wckersham gang of discomfort farmers destroyers and devotees of personal politics mak ing characteristic warfare the Democratic party and the established order in Alaska They were whipped earth in the last campaign because the hosts of Democracy under the leadership of MT suzer support ed by Mir Grgsby MT. Donohoe Mr. Burns and the the organization and majority of the press of the Territory presented to the people a construc- tive platorm-one that appealed to the progressive spirit of the North. They went down for the count. Then came the protracted contest the returns, and differences of opinion among members of the Canvassing Board and between the majority of the board others. The feeling became pronounced that in members of tho Democratic or ganzaton concluded that the great need for concert of action in Alaska and at Washington demanded that there be changes in of the Territorial offices. This led to further differences between certain Demo- cratic leaders and past This was the Wick ersham Wickershamism thrives differences between individuals patronage It gluts on dis content and the personal side of politics. It reyes amid quarrels. And it cares not single second for the result Alaska-for progress through harmon ous cooperation at Washington and in Alaska. Here is where might get in" the sole thought.
 And the war The Wckershamites are seeking to add fuel to the differences among Demo of the offices. They did not attack the Democratic program for Alaska. Of not. But they are seeking undermine it by personal tacks those who trying to carry the program into effect. They endeavorng destroy the spirit of cooperation among Democrats, hoping by that to prevent the ruition of the purpose of Dele gate Suzer and the others solve of the Alas kan problems that have been hanging fire for years Therefore, the charges of conspiracy" intrigue clique, gang descending to hell" star chamber" ," and the likethe old Billngsgae stuff that has served purpose for Wickersham argument for eight nine years. Without program their part they seek destroy any and all programs for Alaskas ad- vancement through the same old personal political methods They playing the game" and the goal is to "get in"
 But The Empire believes that the rank and file of the Democratic hosts who the magnificent victory for progressivism and Alaskan advancement that has to the Territory through their pat riotc adherence to the truth will thwart the purpose of the common enemy It does believe they will permit differences of opinion conflicting ambitions patronage to division among them. It be- leves that they will consider Alaska and welfare before personal politics.
