RESIGN PLACE AS
 HIGHWAY COUNSEL

It became known a day or two ago that the firm of Kibbey and Bennett had resigned it's office as counsel for the county highway commission which it had held since the organiza- ton of the commission two years ago. This step had been expected since the association of Attorney John |. Gust and Judge Frank O. Smith with the law firm, as MT Gust had for some years been counsel for Warren Bros.
 The highway commission yester- day made public the following letter of resignation:
 Maricopa County Highway Com
 mission,
 Phoenix, Arizona,
 Gentlemen:
 It has just been brought to our at
 tention that Messrs. Gust and smith. with whom our late firm of Kibbey.
 Bennett and Jenckes has been con solidated, have been for a long time 1 attorneys for some concerns whose
 interests may not in the future CO., incide with the interests of the Mar icopa county highway commission. | While up to the present time nothing ! has developed which would render the connection of the new firm with these concerns incompatible with our i firm continuing to act as attorneys for the highway commission we feel that such incompatibility might pos sibly arise in the future We therefore request that you re- ! lieve us from further responsibility as the legal adviser of your com
 mission from this date forward i We sincerely regret necessity for | this action, as our relation with your commission has been uniformly l pleasant, but we feel that it is bet l ter to discontinue this relation and : thus avoid all possible contingen- ! cies that might subject us or youl 1 commission to criticism. Yours truly. kIBBEY. BENNETT, GUST AND SMITH.

 Among the large donors to the happiness of the sick and wounded soldiers was the state hospital here. which delivered 100 punches of sweet peas to the chamber of com merce, each bunch containing 25 blos- sons. Other large donations were made, with sweet peas. marigolds larkspur and roses making up the bulk of the varieties noted. The ship ment to Prescott on the occasion of National hospital day Is the third consignment of flowers to be sent from Phoenix to the soldiers during the last month.

UNKNOWN PORTRAIT
 LONG HAS HUNG IN
 STATE HOUSE ROOM

Hanging on the wall of the public hearing room of the offices of the state tax commission, surrounded by an aura of age and mystery, is a painting. and a well executed one, Of a man of middle age whose identity cannot be recalled by the oldest ha- bitues of the state house. and some of the men who are there came in with statehood. The name of the artist does not appear, but those who have seen it compare his work with the portraits on the walls of the governors and the secretary's rooms as well as those in the legislative chambers.
 That was done by an artist" say the critics who gaze at the mysteri- = ous portrait, meaning that the other portraits about the building were done by people who were not artists.
 This room is one of those occupied by the board of control after the ter ritory was admitted to statehood, The picture was there then, and it was then that inquiry began to be made concerning the identity of the subject. That room had previously been occupied by various territorial boards, among them the railway commission.
 State Historian James H. McCIin- tock was called in and. though he has known every man of prominence who has flourished in Arizona within the last 40 years. that is, every man who has flourished to an extent which would warrant the painting of a life size portrait of him and the enclos- ing of it in a massive gilt frame. he could not say that he had ever seen the original.
 Many persons hazily recall that they saw the picture there soon after the occupancy of the building in 1900. But it Is the picture of no former governor of the territory, of no secretary and of no speaker of 1 the assembly and of no president of the legislative council. All such off cers and dignitaries are accounted i for by their portraits in the executive offices and the legislative chambers 1 The face bears a quizzical. inscrut- able smile as if defying gazers to fix its identity.
