DOUGLAS NOT RUN
 MING FOR GOVERNOR

Emanating from a Tucson paper early this week was a statement that since the sale of the Prescott "Cour- fer" it was current report. that the transaction was the forerunner of a boosting campaign and political sur prise, in which James s. Douglas, oi Douglas and Jerome, was being groomed as a dark horse for the gu bernatorial race this fall.
 In short the well known copper operator of Arizona was to be pranc- ed out in political harness as a com promise candidate, on the democratic ticket, and so rapidly did this impres- sion travel 1t was generally admitted finally, that MT. Douglas was a recep- tive person for this high honor. The sale of the above newspaper con- nected Mir. Douglas alleged plans as the financial dark horse in the deal and incidentally he was also the dark horse in the coming race for the dem oCratic nomination.
 But the journalistic fusillade that has been raging since the Tucson eX- plosion has taken place has been smashed into smithereens, for during a visit to Prescott this week of Mir Douglas, he vehemently denied the allegation as published down in Tue son, and so expressed himself to friends in Prescott while en route tc his mining interests at Jerome. He openly branded the assertion as will ful and unwarranted. His attitude is further outlined in a public statement bearing his signature, which was pub lished few days ago in the "Verde Copper News"

CENSUS MEN AT
 WORK HERE, IS RUMOR
(From Saturdays Dailv)

After some disturbing confusion as to who was what and where and why and how, it is understood that the census supervisor for the state has finally got some men at work in this district. Unlike every other con- munity, the enumerators for this dis trict, being appointees, have grace fully accepted their portfolios and have read, learned and inwardly di- gested their instructions, and have gone their blissful way, asking ques- tions of all citizens, leading, mislead- ing and otherwise, but without mak- ing the slightest effort to advertise their wares.
 All that could be learned about these secret" service operatives is that the good and loyal democrat, Sam Bradner named them and that two of their number are A. (. Gil more and Cecil Shaw. If instructions

YAVAPAI LAUDED BY
 NAVY PEOPLE FOR LOYALTY
CFrom Tuesdays Daily,

(From Tuesdays Daily,
 The western division of the navy at Los Angeles sends congratulations to Chief Recruiting Officer w. ]. Feeley of this city, and also high words of commendation for the wonderful spirit manifested throughout Central Arizona in services rendered the na- ton by enlistments in that arm of the service. The letter states as follows:
 "Yavapai and contiguous territory took first rating in first enlistmants over any other locality in the western division in proportion to population, and in this summary was included many populous centers in Southern California, as we'll as more thickly populated sections than in either of the five counties of Arizona. Yavapai county was particularly landed. and surprise was expressed that Prescott should have sent much more than the population justified when con trasted with other communities.
 The information received also men tions another interesting fact that the young men from the higher elevations in this section of Arizona are better developed physically than from the Southern states, while in ardor they are as keen as a razor and always alert for duty. The heavy percentage enrolled from this section of the state is surprising to the naval authorities, and fine feature of the records of the young Arizonans is that none are slipping backward, but all are climhinn rnWard ranidlv-

HOTEL IS MOST NEEDED THING
 SAYS MIDGELY
(From Saturdays Daily)

N4 @CAAA SN@NAAN~J S ~-N--'J
 You build a frst-class hotel in Prescott, cater to the tourist trade and this beautiful pine-clad city of Prescott can easily become the moun- tain Catalina of the West. How did Southern California develop? Watch the hotel and then watch the growth of that particular place, be it River side, Long Beach, or Pasadena"
 When Major w. w. Midgley, su- pervisor of Yavapai county, and a member of the board of directors of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce made this statement yes terday, he voiced the sentiment of go per cent of the population of this To- cality.
 What helps Prescott, helps Jerome and vice versa. With the right class of tourists coming to Prescott, play ing golf, enjoying the mountain scenery and the climate, it stands to reason that as matter of course and interest that they will detour to Mon tczuma Castle, Montezuma Well, the Soda Springs, Oak Creek, and with out fail, will want to see the wonder ful mining activities at Jerome and Clarkdale. You're not only going to have the man as tourist i'll the Mile High city but before long he will be financially interested in the develop ment of the resources of 'Yavapai county, be it mining, stock raising or farming. What I want to see the Yavapai County Chamber of Com merce do this year, as matter oi business not only for Prescott but for the entire county, is to build or have built a first class hotel ill Pres colt.
 Another important matter, wheth- CT or not the highway commission in cludes the building of the road through Fossil creek in its report, the Yavapai County Chamber of Com merce should back the building of this road. It is matter of fact that the building of a suitable highway from Clear creek to the Gila county line, by way of Cottonwood, Syca- more and Blackberry Basins, to a point on Fossil creek to connect with the Gila county highway will mean a road lying at a normal elevation that will permit the uninterrupted traffic during the entire year Being the most direct route between the whole of Yavapai county and the old Apache Trail, at Roosevelt. It would make easily accessible the following points: Montezuma Well, Montezuma Castle Fossil Creek Springs, the Arizona power plant or Fossil creek, the Ma tural Bridge and Roosevelt Dam thereby making this highway one ol the most scenic ill the state of Ari- ZOna.
 By the construction of this high way, of approximately Is miles, the distance between Gila county anG Yavapai county commercial centers would be reduced at least 100 miles providing an immense value to both counties"
 These two important questions viii come before the chamber of com merce at its next regular meeting.

GEO. SCHEERER IS
 TO FARM FOR HIMSELF
(From Saturdays Daily)

kFIOll SdIuIu DdIlJJ
 Yavapai county is to lose its ehici- ent young farm doctor, according to an announcement yesterday by Geo. w. Scheerer, county agent. George, who has put in a year helping the county farmersexcept for a space he spent in the army-will leave Sunday for the south and he "ainta comin' back"
 Farming in the Gila River region, in what is expected soon to>be a new big irrigation center is the lure that drew Scheerer from his position with the agricultural department. He had concluded to buy him large and loo acre farm in the Casa Grande valley, where he aims to sink a water well (and get water) and irrigate large quantities of farm produce until such time as the government builds the proposed San Carlos dam, and pro vide irrigation water for the broad acres.
 Before attending to this personal matter, however, Scheerer will attend a conference of county farm agents at the University of Arizona.
 Miss Nydia Acker, home demon stration agent, will also attend the conference and the Eighth Annual Farmers and Housekeepers' Week at the university, January l9 to 24. She will leave today or tomorrow for Tucson. Miss Acker, however, will return to her duties here and around the rest of her five counties.
 Scheerer's successor has not yet been appointed

 This strike is causing much com ment in the Mayer field, and is said to be one of the most important min eral showings over made in the belt which this property occupies, fully demonstrating the advisability of crosscutting no matter what depth
