has been absent from his home coun-
ty for the greater part OF the summer,
the people Of the county had not had
the benefit OF his presence. and since
the reports Of his addresses have ne.
cessarily been abbreviated, his full
thought has not been conveyed to the
people at home.
At the outset. Mr.. wannamaker
made 1t clear that the association
from the township unit to the very
head. was working in absolute har.,
mony. He warned against reports
that there were differences in the
fold, and make especial reference to
the report that he and Mr.. Harding
had differed. He stated in no uncer-
tain terms that he and Mr.. Harding
had been in the utmost harmony,
were one in thought and purpose, anu
rumors OF friction wore only intended
to hurt the association.

VARSITY AND NORbALS WILL LOSE THOUSANDS
 UNDER ROSS RULING

Both the state university and the two normal schools will be cut out of thousands of dollars of income if State Treasurer Harry S.. Ross has his say. Dormatory, matriculation and other fees as we'll as other sour csc of income, must now all be turned over to the state treasurer, and can- not be used by the institution for maintenance or for any other purpose says Ross, and he bases his state ment on his interpretation of senate bill 90, now in effect.
 This bill, was introduced by senator Hughes, democrat, of Cochise county.
 Its primary provision is that no official or department of the state is, permi ted to spend more t h an the ount specifi- cally appropriated for any particular office or department. Ross holds that to use dormitory fees, for instance in addition to the appropriation for that Institution, would be a violation of the new law and one which he intends to prevent.
 He calls attention to the wording of the new law which reads in part:
 "It shall be unlawful for any officer of this state to audit, settle, allow, pay or in any manner authorize the drawing of any warrant upon the treasury of this state for an amount of any claim, which under the pro- visions of section CD of this act, will be or is in eeXcess of the appropra- tion to the fund upon which such burden of payment would fall, ex- cept for the prohibitions in this act contained"
 "It is plain from the wording of the bill," said Ross, "that I wolud be- come guilty of a high misdemeanor if l allowed any violation. Hence my interest in seeing that the proper system is followed in the future"
 Ross received a check yesterday from the university of $241.44, repre- senting "a hslance in the experimental farm saiefunds the close of the fiscal year. Ross believes that when the audit of state institutions is complete it will show many other small balances which by{rights, he says, should be turned over to the general fund of the state

CITY CLUB PLANNED
 BY MEN OF DOUGLAS

IDOUGLAS-When several citizens
 were discussing the matter, of a city
 club for Douglas, Frank H. Fisher, of the Bank of Douglas, outlined ten Native plan by which he believes would result a successful club of the Nkind here.
 The idea of Mr. Fisher is to pro- Wide in connection with the club rooms, library, ball room, dining Aroom etc., a number of rooms which would be attractive to some of the
 bachelors in the city, and also to a Igood many who are called here ire Auently in connection with mining enterprises.
