WELL KNOWN BRITISHER
Will Preach in St. Andrews this
Morning

DR.. w. R. Boag, formerly of the
Church of England, graduate of
Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, and
lately touring the United States in
the interest of Burton Holmes, the
famous traveller, will deliver the
morning sermon in St. Andrews
Episcopal church, today February
22nd., the first Sunday in Lent. DR..
Boag delivered the address in the
Bisbee Episcopal church, last Sunday
morning; and later information from
that city brings news that he is an
unusually instructive and forceful
speaker.
DR.. Boag was temporarily obliged
20 quit the active ministry, several
years ago, on account of physical in
disposition. Since then, he has been
steadily engaged in very lucrative
business ventures which will event
ually enable him to return to the
pastors life again with an indepehd-
ent fortune. He and Mrs. Boag are
guests in the Overton home, Sonoita

SENATOR SMITH
GREETED MOST
CORDIALLY BY
NOCALES PEOPLE

A large and enthusiastic assem-
blage of representative citizens of
Nogales, accepted the invitation of
the Y. B. M. A. to hear Senator
Marks Smith at the Santa Cruz Club
last evening.
Mayor Fielder, in behalf of the peo-
pie of Nogales, welcomed Senator
Smith. Mayor Fiedler's speech was
short and eloquent.
He told of how Senator Smith hal
served his State and his Country for
thirty years and the great things u"
had done for the State of Arizona.
Senator Smith was greeted with
wild enthusiasm by the people in at
tendance. He said he was not un-
mindful of what he had tried to do
for Arizona. And he was gratified
to be the guest, as it were, of the
young men of Nogales.
In speaking of Americanism and
Americas part in the Great War he
said that most of the great accom-
plishments of the world had come
from the American side. And he
very strongly brought the fact be-
fore the audience that America will
remain IN the lead as long as our
Constitution remains intact
He said that he had strived to
visit his state many times in the last
few years but that congress had been
virtually in constant session for the
past six years.
He has been on many committees.
and all in the interest of the people
of the United States.
And here the Senator drew great
applause by saying that the vision
shows a wonderful future for No
gales. And the vision also showed
that Nogales was going to become a
town of at least $4,000 people within
a few years and has the greatest
possibilities of any city in Arizona.
When the differences between the
United State and Mexico are proper
Iy adjusted.
He is here for the purpose of get
ting absolute facts of actual condi-
lions in Mexico. The Senator said
t. !: time all ti.e:c again any citizen
of Mexico, regardless of faction, had
cen invited to come before the COM
tittce that HEY had the power to
''>>,~- ~ ...>i, -. ,lt->.to. He
wants to help peace aid good and
order with Mexico, but some times,
he said, it looks cloudy. Europe
looks to us to kees peace in Mexico.
With great eloquence the senator
implored the people to always keep
before them the best interests of our
country regardless Of politics.
He let it be known that the next
congress had great responsibilities
before it. The next four or five years
he said, will be the most critical in
the history of cur country and the
world. V al is hanging IRE now in
several European cUun.ries. And we
are the only country $ at least

fered. He said that this Elliott re-
presented the Post Office Department
and that their Department did not
always follow the recommendation
of the Post Office Department, i
fact upon several occasions they hay
gone entirely contrary to uch recon-
mendations.
At Mr.. Fields request l telegraph
ed to Mr.. Curtis and inquired if the
site on Morley Avenue could still be
obtained at the price offered at; he
wired me that although they were not
anxious to make the sale at that
| price that the offer would hold good.
The same reported to Mr.. Field,
consequently when l returned, after
my second visit to the Department,
The affair stands in the condition that
The Department is waiting to hear
from US as to our proposition unda
the circumstances.
Upon my second visit l asked a
direct question of Mr.. Field in re-
gard to probability of this appro-
ria:icn expiring with time; he an
;wered that it YOU'D nCi Gxp:~e e

Congress, but he recomueIided we ID
not wait too long for Congress miC /

preparations. He also answered my
! question in regard to the funds be-
ing available that the sums for the
site is ready and that, in his opinioo,
we sould have the building immediate
