Assurance that Arizona will retain United States surveyors generals office at Phoenix in the face of the Dill now before congress for abolishing all such offices and centralizing at washington the work thereof are con tained in a telegram received last night rom Representative Frank w. Mon dell. republican leader in the house. Representative MondeH wires as tH lows:
 Was much surprised at the
 provision in the legislative appro-

 possible under circumstances to
 strike this provision out in the

 FRANK w. MONDELL. M. C."
 When word came from Washington recently that congress was already considering elimination of all the United States surveyor general offices Tn the states and the centra lIZIng of the work thereof in Washington the people of Arizona immediately took acton by every means they could command. The various civic and municipal bodies wired to Represen- tative Carl Hayden and to others in Washington. while Governor Camp bell sent a special wire to Representa- tive Mondell. leader of the republican contingent in the house. Mir. Mondell's answer came almost immediately in reply to the governors wire.
 Believe Danger Over
 II IS taken to mean that no effort Will be made to interefere with the general plan for closing up the various offices throughout the country, as Tn many states the public land work has reached such small proportions that good arguments may exist for cen tralizing it at Washington, but that a special provision will be made for Arizona. inasmuch as a vast amount of the domain here still remains under United States control and therefore a great amount of business has to be done through the office of the United states surveyor general here. IT the work here were taken to Washington relays of far-reaching importance 0ould result in the administration ni he public lands in this state, it IS said
 With the assurance of Representa- give Mondell it is believed now that Arlzonas $ people need have no further fear of losing the federal office for this state, although the various author- ties here probably will have to con- finue their support of Governor Camp bell in his efforts to see the present legislation safe through the rapids
