ALEXANDER O. BRODIE, Governor of the Territcry of Arizona from July 1, 1902, to February 15, 1905
N February 15th, Alexander O. Brodie resigned as Governor of Arizona in order that he might proceed to Washington
to take up his new duties there as Assistant Chief of the Records and Pension Bureau, with the rank of
Major in the regular army, to which office he had been appointeel a few days before by President Roosevelt. In
.~' 1' the going of Governor Brodie, the people of Arizona lost a most beloved Governor. He had come to this Terri-tory
in 1870, when but twenty- one years of age, as a lieutenant of cavalry, having' gradnated from West Point that
year. Ftom the first he has been Arizona's stannch friend, and her supporter, becoming one of her most distinguished
citizens. A btoad, fair- minded man, a scholar and a gentleman; a man who has known and seen every side of life, he
became at once the ideal Governor and a friend who was always ready to listen to the low as well as to the high. Alexander
O. Brodie was born at Edwards, New York, in 1819, his parents being of Scottish descent From St. Lawrence
University, New York, he was appointed a cadet at West Point. After his gradnation he was immediately sent to Arizona,
where for four years he took part in numerous Indian fights. In 1875, he was ptomoted for bravery, and removed
ftom Arizona to Washington Tenitory where he served until 1877, when he resigned from the army on account of his
mother's ill health. After her death, the next year, he went to Kansas and there engaged in cattle raising for four
years at the end of which time he sold out and came to Arizona as a civil engineer. He soon after became the superintendent
and manager of the Walnut Gtove Storage Reservoir Company, which company also owned the Crown Point
mine, which is a good gold producer. Upon receipt of the news of the blowing up of the Maine, and after the declaration
of war was declared, Governor Btodie's martial spirit returned. He at once went to Prescott and began raising a
cavalry regiment to be composed of Arizona cowboys and rangers.. This, however, was not to be, for the war department
ordered that only 200 men should be taken from Arizona. These were the first to be enlisted that became a part
of Colonel Roosevelt's famous Rough Rider regiment, Governor Brodie being appointed Major, and later, by the promotion
of Colonel Roosevelt, was raised to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, serving with distinction through the war,
being wounded once at the important battle of Las Guasimas. After the war Governor Brodie run for delegate to Congress
on the Republican ticket, but, like so many other good Arizona Republicans, was defeated. He resumed, for
some time after this, active charge of the mine at Crown Point. On . In! j' 1st, 1902, he was appointed Governor of Arizona
by President Roosevelt, which office he has filled with such good judgment and rare ability that he has won the
support of every Arizonian. Governor Brodie was united in marriage with Miss Mary Louise Hanlon of Brooklyn,
New York, frum which union has come one son, Alexander, or " Sandy," as he is better known. Mrs. Brodie, by her
goodness and her grace of manners, has endeared herself to all who know her, and, as she goes with Govetnor Brodie
to take up those other duties, she takes with her the love and respect of ever'} true Arizona heart.
JOSEPH H. KIBBEYt Governor of the Territory of Arizona
F ALL the eminent men in Arizona who are well fitted to fill the office of Governor, it would seem that President
Roosevelt could not at this time have chosen a man more fitting or more in popular favor than Judge Joseph H.
Kibbey, the man he selected fOl that high office" Judge Kibbey has for many years been a part of the
Territory, many of his decisions in the courts have had a national bearing; it was he who drafted the articles of
incorporation of the Salt River Water Users' Association, and for the past year he has been at the head of the
Republican Central Committee. Finely educated, having a well- developed brain, the power of deep concentration and
the will to do, he has come to have an immense law practice and a name and reputation that reach far out beyond the
borders of the Territory. As Governor of Arizona he will be loved and honored as only a man with an unsullied reputation
can be.. Governor Kibbey was born in Richmond, Indiana, on March 4, 1853. His grandfather was a judge at
that place for many years, where his father was also a judge for twenty- five years. He was educated at Earlham College,
a Quaker institute of his home town, and after leaving that institution he studied law, was admitted to the bar,
and practiced his profession in that state until he came to Arizona in 1888, to act as counsel for the Florence Canal Company,
at Florence, Arizona" President Harrison, shortly after his inauguration in 1889, appointed him Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court of Arizona, which office he creditably filled until 1893. While on the bench he handed down
what has become known as the " Kibbey Decision," which refers to the use of water in ditches and laterals, and which
is regarded as so final a decision that it is copied in all the standard law books bearing on this subject. It hilS been said
that he had fewer reversals while on the bench than any other Arizona judge. In 1893 he moved to Phoenix, where he
has since resided, and engaged in the practice of law, building up a large clientage. He was nominated on the
Republican ticket in 1902, to the Council of the Twenty- second Legislatnre for Maricopa county; was elected by a good
majority and served throughout the session with much distinction, for, though he was but the leader of the minority, he
succeeded in shaping much of the legislation to the chagrin of his Democratic colleagues. As Chairman of the Territorial
Republican Central Committee last fall he managed Delegate nominee Fowler's campaign, and came to be the logical
head of the Republican party in Arizona. His labor in behalf of tbe people of the Salt River Valley in aiding to
secure the Tonto reservoir and in drafting the Articles of Incorporation for the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association
was so broad and comprehensive and brought such good results that it did more than all his other work to bring
him to popular favor. Governor Kibbey was married January 10, 1877, to Miss Nora Burbank, and is the father of two
children, a son, Walter Kibbey, who is Assistant Clerk of the District Court, and a married daughter, Mrs Joseph SherburneJenckes.
Mrs. Kibbey is known in socilll circles as a talented woman and a sweet and charming entertainer.
lIulIgr II. lli. Ntrqnln
Secretary of the Territory of Arizona
HE second office in point of importance in the Territory is that of the Secretary of Arizona. This office is ably
filled by W. F. Nichols, who by his untiring efforts and general ability has made it one of the most successful
.-' in the Territory. Judge Nichols was bom in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1852, removing with his parents
three years later to Califomia, by way of the Isthmus of Panama, The next year they settled at Sacramento,
where the son received the foundation of his educatIOn, graduating from the high school at an early age, and fr'om
Oakland College in 1868. For a few years after his graduation he engaged in business with his father, but wishing to
work along independent lines he came to Southwestem Arizona, where, ever since, he has been a faithful supporter of
the mining and cattle interests. Thus it will be seen that he was, with his parents, not only an early California pioneer,
but was himself one of the earliest Arizona settlers, and is now the oldest citizen of Willcox, wher'e so many
of his interests are located. During the year that the Sonthem Pacific Railroad Company laid its track through Willcox
he became the agent for the L. W" Blinn Lumber Company, and in 1888, seei. ng the possibilites of the business, he
bonght out that branch of the company with which he is still connected. In politics as in bnsiness Jncige Nichols has
ever taken an active part. For sixteen years he was a Justice of the Peace in Cochise county, a member of the Thirteenth
Legislatnre, for some years a member of the Live Stock Sanitary Board, and has also served as United States
Court Commissioner. In 1904 he was appointed by President Roosevelt to the office of Secretary of Arizona. Judge
Nichols was married in 1898 to Mrs. Nora S. Butterfield, who was the daughter of Dr. Seeley, of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
As an intelligent woman anci a charming entertainer Mrs" Nichols is widely known. The Judge is a member of the
Masonic order and of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, of which he is a charter member of the lodge at Willcox.
He is a Knight Templar, a thirty · second degree Mason, a member of the order of the Mystic Shrine. He was Grand
Master of Masons of Arizona during the years 18~ 7and 1900.

President of the Council.
~ EO. W. P. HUNT, President of the Council, was born at Huntsville, Missoud, November 1, 1859, and comes from
~ Colouial ancestry.. His grandfather, Nathan Hunt, being one of the eariy settlers of Missouri, and the town of
Huntsville, county seat of Randolph County, was named in his honor. His mother's maiden name was Sarah
E. Yates, a daughter ofJudge John Marshall Yates. His ancestors were connected with the early history of Virginia,
North Carolina and Kentucky. Mr. Hunt's early life was spent near Huntsville, where he was educated. When nineteen
years old he left the home of his boyhood and started for the West, prospecting and making his own way. Inside
of three years he had seen many parts of Colorado, New Mexico and Old Mexico, finally locating at Globe in 1881,
when for a while he worked in a restaurant, also in the mines, but later went into the cattle business, which he followed
for six years. In 1890 he entered the employ of the Old Dominion Commercial Company as a clerk, but soon mastered
the detail of the business, and in ten years, in 1900, became the president. The firm, of which he is now at the head, is
also an important banking institution. Mr. Hunt has always been a strong Democrat, was County Treasurer part of
one term; was delegate to the National Convention at Kansas City in 1900; was a member of the Seventeenth and
Eighteenth I, egislatures, being a member of the lower house; was then sent two terms to the upper house of the
Nineteenth and Twentieth, where he did good service for the people; he then retired frum politics, but was again
elected to the Twenty- tbird Legislature and was honored by being chosen the presiding officer of that body. Mr. Hunt
was married February 24, 1904, to Helen Durett Ellison, of Ellison, Arizona.
~ NE of the few lawyers of the Twenty- third Legislature and the
only one in the Council, is Alfred Ruiz, representing Apache
County. Mr. Ruiz was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1855,
his parents being natives of that State. His grandfather had been a
captain in the Spanish army before the independence of Mexico. The
mother was of the same old Spanish stock, the ancestors of both father
and mother accompanying Father Serra ( who was the first Spanish
priest to establish missions in CalIfornia) to California in 1782, Alfred
Ruiz was educated in Saint Ignatius College at San Francisco" In 1876
he came to Arizona, first to Florence, then to Phoenix and later moving
to Prescott, where he engaged in mining. In 1877 he located in what is
now Apache County, but which was then a part of Yavapai County, and
in 1880 was elected County Recorder for four years, after which he served
for eight years as Clerk of the District Court. He was admitted to practice
in the District Court of that county in 1887, and was soon after
elected District Attorney for Apache County. Last fall he was elected
on the Republican ticket to the Council of the Twenty- third Legislature,
carrying the county by a good majority Thus it will be seen that he has
served Apache County almost continuously in a public office since
locating there in 1887. Over a year ago he moved to Prescott, where he
was connected with important litigation, being quite successful, but was
forced to return to Apache County on account of his wife's ill health.
He is now practicing law in that county, having a large and growing

miles from New York City in 1860. and is a graduate of Cincinnatus
Academy, situated at Cindnnatus, New York. After leaving college he
entered a printing office, learned the printing trade and was for some
time employed as a pressman. In 1878 he started for the West, and after
three years' drifting in most of the middle · · western States, he landed in
Salt River Valley, intending to make but a short stay, for he was then on
his way to Mexico. But, as the hills were then green and the country
was looking fine, for those were the days of plenty rain, he concluded to
postpone his trip to Mexico and go into the farming business, and since
that time has followed farming, cattle raising, mining and mercantile
pursuits. He has, however, devoted most of his energies to the cattle
business, having been one of the largest cattle raisers and shippers in this
part of the Territory. The Bark- Criswell herds of cattle, farms and
ranges in the Superstition Mountains ranking among the most extensive
enterprises in the country. Although the old firm of Bark- Criswell has

~.--: EPRESENTING YUMA COUNTY in the Council of this Legisla-:
\ ture is a man who has seen much public service, who has ever
-- \ worked with a clean hand and who is respected, honored and liked
by all who know him Born in New York State in 1853, he began to long
for the West at an early age, and when but sixteen years of age left the
parental roof and went to Pomeroy. Ohio, there entering the machine
shops and learning that trade. Having prepared himself as a machinist,
and being offered a good position in California in ] 875, he accepted, and
his services have since that time been devoted to western interests. He
came to Yuma in 1878, taking up some years later a homestead near that
town and alEC acquiring later much good property within the city limits
of Yuma, where he is interested in the mercantile business. His
political life began in 1884, when he wa's appointed Assistant Superintendent
of the Territorial Prison under the Republican Administration,
although he was ever a strong Democrat. The next year he was
elected Sheriff of Yuma County, taking up his new duties in the spring
of 1886, and being elected to succeed himself three times. In 1892, he
was one of the two delegates sent from Arizona to Chicago to the Democrati
c Convention that nominated Grover Cleveland on the national
ticket. At the Territorial election that fall he was elected to the Council
of the Seventeenth Legislature, and two years later was re- elected to the
same position. After the adjonrnment of the Eighteenth Legislature,
he accepted the position, under Collector Shannon, of Deputy Intemal
Revenue Collector and was stationed at Phoenix, This position he held
until Benjamin Franklin was appointed Governor in 1896, who appointed
him Superintendent of the Territorial Prison, which position he
held for the next year and a half. It is said that this was the cheapest
administration the prison ever had, while at the same time it was highly
efficient. Mr.. Nugent is a member of the B. P, 0 E. lodge, and is

1I'I1HE man who holds the Chair. in the House of Representati. v. es ShOUld. be broad, fair- minded and capable, with
ViL! l' 1\ interest in all pursuits and pr~ judice toward none. The members of the Assembly saw such a man in Wilfred T.
- Webb, who is endowed by nature with a broad intellect, improved by self- education and experience; with a big
heart and a big mind; quick to conceive and most fluent in olothing his thoughts in words; eloquent in debate; honest
of pur pose and firm of conviction; an able parliamentarian and born leader; he has every quality with which to fulfill
all obligations that his duties impose upon him. ( From a speech by Lamar Cobb, Jr., in the Assembly, January 17, 1905.)
Mr. Webb was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1864, being the son of Gilbert and Almira Webb, the father a native of
Ohio and the mother a native of Michigan. He never had the advantages of a public school education, but by extensive
reading, clear thinking and close observation he has become an educated man in every sense of the word. He first
came to Arizona in 1880, stopping for a short time in Tombstone, later moving from there to Pima, Graham County,
where, in company with his father, he opened a general mercantile business. In 1887 the business was sold and he turned
his attention to cattle raising, which pursuit he has extensively followed to the present time, being a member of the
Live Stock Growers' Association. In 1891, knowing the possibilities of the mercantile business, and having been
successful in the cattle business, being furnished thereby with the necessary capital, he again entered that field which,
from his attention to business and fair treatment to all, has proven highly profitable. He owns the commodious building
in which his stock is located, and is known today as one of the most prosperous and successful men in the entire
Gila Valley. Besides his cattle an41 mer~ antile enterprises, he owns considerabl<; real estate and the finest residence in
Pima" In the affairs of the Democratic party, both local and territorial, he stands high. He was a member of the
Twenty- second Legislature and the only member of the present body who was elected to succeed himself" He is very
proud of the fact that of the two hundred votes polled for member of the Assembly of the Twenty- second Legislature
in the Pima precinct in 1902 he received all but four; and of the number of votes polled last fall in the same precinct
for member of the Assembly to the Twenty- third Legislature he received all but six. At home his help and advice are
much sought, not only in political affairs, but on questions of local issue as well. He was marrierl to Miss Sarah Burns
in 11:' 87" As a speaker Mr. Webb is clear and concise; as a business man he has shown himself to be capable and farseeing,
and as an officeholder he has proven hjmself to be above the petty tricks and follies of the politician.

W HEN the Spanish- American War broke out and a call for volunteers was
made, one of the first Arizonans to respond was Neill E Bailey, who resigned
his position and raised an entire company, for which service he was
commissioned Second Lieutenant in the First Volunteer Infantry, commanded
by Colonel McCord. After the war' was over, he returned to railroad work
and was made city ticket agent of the Union Pacific Railroad at San Francisco,
but resigned that position in a few months to return to Arizona to
accept a position as Chief Train Dispatcher on the Cananea, Yaqui River
and Pacific Railroad Company, with headquarters at Naco, Arizona. Mr.
Bailey has always taken more or less interest in politics. He was a delegate
to the Territorial Convention at Tucson which nominated delegates to
the St. Louis Convention; was a delegate to the Territorial Convention at Phoenix
which nominated Mark Smith for Delegate to Congress; was also a delegate to the
convention in Cochise County, and is a member of the Democratic Central Committee
in that county. He was nominated by acclamation in the Democratic
Convention and elected to the Legislature by a handsome majority. His ability
and standing were early recognized in the organization in the House, and he was
made floor leader of the major it} , Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations
and a member of the Committees on Rules, Ways and Means, Live Stock, and
Corporations. His influence in shaping legislation has been felt for all good and
against all bad measures. Mr'. Bailey is a native of Southern California, where he
first attended school, but later lived in Texas, from which State his parents
originated. He came to Arizona when but seventeen years of age and has been
actively engaged in business almost continuously since that time. In addition
to his railroad duties Mr. Bailey is interested in four or five promising mining
companies. Mr. Bailey was manied in Savannah, Georgia, in the fall of 1903 to
Miss Gertmde von Gundell, one of the most charming young ladies of that old
Southern city. He is a Knight Templar Mason and a member of the Mystic
Shrine. !
iiiiIr( HE subject of this sketch, Chas. Strong, was born in 1856 in
VIl! 1~ Chautauqua County, New York, where he spent his boyhood
and where he attended the public schools, mastering the
common school education that was available in that neighborhood.
In 1878 he came to Colorado, where for some years he
mined and prospected. But, like all miners, he had the roaming
spirit, and could not, while still in his youth, find it in his heart
to stay for many years in one place, so he worked in the mining
camps and prospected in many parts of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming
and New Mexico, coming to Bisbee and settli. ng down in June,
1890. where he has since followed his life- long occupation in a
very successful manner. He is an owner in the Cave Group Claims
and is interested ( being one of the principal owners) in what is
known as Bakersville, located below Bisbee.
Mr. Strong was elected by a good majority on the Democratic
ticket, is Chairman of the Committee on Military and Indian
AfIairs, and is a member of the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds.

! fUDGE NEVIL!-- E holds a unique position in this Legislature, inas@
much as he IS one of the very few who was chosen and elected as a
member of the Assembly without solicitation on his part and without
making any campaign" Vvilliam Neville is 61 years of age, was born
in Washington County, Illinois, al'd was educated at McKendree College
at Lebanon, Illinois, He was a volunteer in the Civil ' Var, being
mustered out as Second Sergeant of Company H, 147th Illinois Infantry..
After the war he studied law under his father, Harvey Neville, who was
Captain of Company H, 22nd Illinois Infantry, during the Civil War,
and who also served through the Blackhawk War and the Mexican War,
Such a record for father and son any brave American might envy. Judge
William Neville was elected to the Illinois Legislature in the fall of
1872, as a Democrat, and moved to Omaha, Nebraska, in 1874, from
which place he was elected to the Nebraska Legislature as a Democratic
member during the Tilden campaign of 1876, He was elected Judge of
the 13th Judicial District of the State of Nebraska in 1891. In 1893,
he was a candidate for the United States Senate and received a majority
of the caucus on twenty- two ballots, but a two- thirds rule having been
adopted, he failed, He was elected Supreme Judge for that State in
1896, carrying the State by 15,000 majority. In 1898 the people of
Nebraska sent him to Congress, and In 1900 he was re- elected by a
fusion of Democrats and Populists After the close of his last term in
Congress, in March, 1903, he located in Douglas, Arizona. having songht
a warmer climate on account of throat trouble. After so long a period in
public service, with so good a record, it is no wonder that the people of
~ ochise County wanted him to be one of their Representatives in this
I" HARLES A. NEAL, representing Coconino County in the
~. Lower House, is one of the youngest members of that
body, but while young in years he is an old newspaper man,
and, from the experience gained in that field, comes fully equipped
to further the interests of the county he represents At an early
age he entered upon a career as a newspaper man, starting at the
bottom and working gradually upward, thoroughly learning every
branch of the business and mastering every detail. He came to
Arizona in the fall of 1896 and spent a year on the different newspapers
of Phoenix. The next year he removed to \ Villiams and in
1901 purchased the News, which paper he has successfully operated
to the present time. He was elected a member of the Assembly at
the last election on the Democratic ticket, being one of the three
Democrats elected in Coconino County, by a large majority. He
has taken an active part in the work this session, and is Chairman
of the Enrolling and Engrossing Committee.

V, LECTED by the Democratic party and representing Gila
~ county is a self~ made man, Samuel A. Haught, Postmaster,
J: keeper of a general store, cattleman and mine owner at Rye.
MI'. Haught was born near Dallas, Texas, and comes of German
ancestry who came with \ Villiam Penn to America. His grandfather
and great- grandfather fought through the Revolutionary
War, wintering with Washington at that historic camping ground,
Valley Forge, His mother also comes of Revolutionary stock and
was born near Zanesville, Ohio. His boyhood days were spent in
the turbulent Southwest under the carpet- bag government just
after the Civil War, his father being engaged in the lumber, cattle
and mercantile business. In those times of the reconstruction
there were few schools and few opportunities for an education in
that part of the country, hence Mr. Haught's education was general
and mainly consisted of the knowledge which came from the
experience he gained in assisting his father in the care of his
business and later in the development of his own. He came to
Tonto Basin in 1885, twenty years ago, and has resided there ever
since, He has a general store and is the Postmaster at Rye, is
also the owner of a large number of cattle and principal owner in
the Gun Creek group and Era group of mines. Mr. Haught is

he is above reproach.
Member of the Assembly from Maricopa County.
mORN of old Dutch stock, strong in lineage and history, L. R. Krue~
ger is fast making an enviable reputation in the ranks of the DemW
o, cratic party, with his native resourceful stock of thrift and energy.
Mr.. Kruger was born in Michigan City, Indiana, March 24th, 1876.
Here he learned to be a printer, starting in as the proverbial" deviL"
At the age of sixteen, with an ordinary education, he went to Chicago,
and was connected with the Chicago newspapers in the reportorial
departments. While in Chicago Mr Krueger spent some time in the
government service. In 1898 he was made Secretary of some large
companies operating and representing many of the cattle, farm, citrus
and deciduous fruit enterprises in Phoenix, at which place he has since
lived. Locally Mr, Krueger, known almost entirely as " Paul"
Krueger, is exceedingly popular, though a strong partisan, Despite the
fact that he has been here only seven years and is now but 29 years of
age, he has been the recipient of many local honors. For the past few
years he has been, by unanimous choice, the President of the Phoenix
Fire Department, recognized as one of the most efficient fire departments
in the Southwest. He has been the Secretary of the Democratic
City Central Committee and member of the County Central Committee.
Last fall he polled a larger vote than any other man on the Legislative
ticket, being elected to the Assembly of the Twenty.. third Legislature by
a very large majority. In the Legislature his keen force has been
strongly felt when introducing and while championing many of the
heaviest bills considered. He is the strenuous father of the famous
Bullion Tax Bill in the Twenty- third. He is Chairman of the Committees
on Live Stock, and Ways " and Means.
_ EW men have been more closely connected with the growth and
~ development of the Territory, and particularly of his County,
than ]. H. Pomeroy, Maricopa's Representative from Mesa.
Twenty- seven years ago last October, Mr. Pomeroy, with a colony of
Mormon Pioneers from Idaho and Utah, arrived in the Salt River Valley,
having traveled overland, bringing their household goods, cattle
and chattels with them" They pitched their tents on the bank of the
Salt River about 7 miles east and north of the present site of Mesa.
There were but nine families in the company, but by October, 1878,
they had completed the Mesa canal for eleven miles to the present site
of Mesa, to which place they moved, laying out the city and beginning
the planting of crops Mr. Pomeroy took up a farm just outside of the
townsite and made his residence in the city. He has held everyexecutive
office in the city with the exception of a seat in the Council, which
office he has repeatedly declined. For fourteen years he has been Justice
of the Peace, becoming an authority on the statutory law of the
Territory. The people of Maricopa County were so well pleased with
his public record that they elected him as their Representative to the
Lower House, where he has been recognized as a safe and conservative
man. Because of his long experience in irrigation the Speaker very
wisely made him Chairman of the Irrigation Committee" He is a charter
member of the Odd Fellows Lodge of Mesa, a member of the
Knights of Pythias and of the Woodmen of the World, having gone
through the chairs of the three lodges. . Mr. Pomeroy was born in Salt
Lake City, Utah, in 1853, and is a son of Francis M. Pomeroy, who was
one of the 143 Mormon Pioneers who blazed the trail from the Missouri
River to the Salt Lake Valley. When he was still young his father
moved to Idaho, in different parts of which State he had lived until
he started for Arizona in 1877. That same year he was married, his wife
dying in 1887, leaving him with three children. Two years later he
married again and from this marriage he also has three children.
Member of the Assembly from Maricopa County
" U A. STANFORD. representing Maricopa County, is one of the ..£ Vi oldest and most influential residents of the Salt River Valley.
• Coming to the Territory in 1888, he engaged in the dairy and
cattle business, buying a farm and building and equipping his own dairy.
But as there were no large creameries in the valley there was no foreign
market, hence little stimulus for those who engaged in dairy pursuits.
Mr" Stanford realizing this and seeing the need of creating a market for
the milk and then for the butter, he, in company with Emory Kays,
built the Maricopa Creamery on the co- operative plan, organizing a
company and selling 10,500 shares of capital stock. The creamery is
still in operation and doing a fine business, though Mr. Stanford retired
from its management some years after its organization and embarked in
the cattle- feeding business on an extensive scale. Mr. Stanford has always
taken an active interest in local school matter's and has been a member of
the Board of Trustees of School District No. 14 for fourteen years. This
is the district in which his farm was located, a mile and a half east of
Phoenix.. He recently moved to Phoenix. As Chairman of the Education
Committee, in the present Legislature, he has fostered much good
legislation in the interest of the public schools. MI'. Stanford was born
and raised in Mobile, Alabama, and came to Texas in 1866, where he
wasin the mercantile business for fourteen years. He canied a general
line' of merchandise, dmgs included, and from the dispensing of the
latter gained the title of" Doc," by which he is familiarly known. He
J is married and is the father of two grown sons.
MEMBER OF THE ASSEMBLY FROM MARlCOPA COUNTY
t ..... 7ATSON PICKRELL. the genial member representing Maricopa . II. County, was born in Sangamon County, Illinois, his parents
having emigrated from Kentucky to Illinois in the early 20' s,
being among the pioneer settlers of that part of the country, and his
grandfather entering from the government the north part of what is now
Springfield, including the land where Lincoln's tomb is located and
where the beloved President's remains now lay at rest. His father was
also a friend of Lincoln's, the two men having fought Indians in the
Blackhawk War in the same regiment. Mr. Pickrell, after having taken
advantage of the public schools in the district where he lived, was
educated at the University of Illinois, from which school he graduated
with the class of ' 75. Shortly after leaving the University he went to
Nebraska, which was his home most of the time until coming to Arizona
in 1893. He has followed farming and stock raising, with few deviations,
all his life. and at present has a fine farm south of Tempe. His brother
has been for many years extensively engaged in Ostrich raising, being
so successful that Watson Pickrell isnow going to follow his example by
entering the industry. He has this spring purchased and placed on his
farm a large number of the birds and expects to increase the flock as
conditions permit. Mr. Pickrell has always been a fIiend of education,
and the bill which he introduced into the House for an increase in the
maintenance fund and needed improvement for the Tempe Normal is
appreciated by all who are interested in the schools of the Territory.
Mr. Pickrell was the only Republican elected from this county to the
Assembly, and received the Republican votes as candidate for Speaker,
thereby making him the leader of the minority.
7t" T the opening of the session of the Assembly of the Twenty- third A Legislature, the oldest member being asked to take the Chair, as
is the custom if' order to effect an organization, Patsey F. Collins,
the member from Mohave, arose and was escorted forward, well knowing
that the honor was his. And not on that point alone was the honor his,
for he has served in an earlier Arizona Legislature than any other member
present, having served in the Fourteenth. Mr.. Collins is a native of
Ireland, his parents coming to this country when he was but three
months old and settling near Boston, where he spent his boyhood days.
In 1857 he enlisted in the army, served through the Civi( War and was
mustered out of the Government service in 1865, coming to California the
next year and locating for a short time near San Jose, where he was
Deputy Sheriff for two years. Since coming West he has followed prospecting
and mining almost continuously, having prospected in many
parts of Idaho, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Mexico and Central
America. In the early and booming days of Tombstone in 1880, he was
one of the first men on the ground, and can tell many a story worth the
hearing of the happenings of those old days that now seem like fancies
of some forgotten age. He first came to Arizona in 1871, and has since
made this his home. Most of his interests have been centered in Mohave
County, where he owns several good claims. For twenty ye' 1rs he has
mined ill the Moss and Gold Road district of that county. He was Postmaster
in Kingman in 1888, and was Under Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff
for Mohave County for several years. He does not nse tobacco or intoxicating
liquors in any form, nor has he ever acquired the art of gambling.
_ HE member flom Navajo County is what could be called a
.- l.' self~ made man, and to quote his own words, "' What little I
have accomplished and learned has been from my earliest boyhood
by my own endeavor." Mr. Gardiner was born in Southern Utah
in 1868 and came to Arizona in 1877. All his life he has spent on
the frontier and on the ranges. He owns a large interest in cattle
and sheep and has for many years been engaged in farming. During
the droughts of the last two years he lost heavily, much of his
stock dying because of the scarcity of food and water. However,
be is not one of the men who become discoumged, and since the
heavy rains intends to go into the stock business on a larger
scale than ever before. He was elected flom a Republican county
on the Democratic ticket by a large majority. He is Chairman of
the Agricultural Committee, also member of the Committee on
Elections and Territorial Affairs. Mr. Gardiner was married in
1888 and is the father of eight children.

and teaming.. He came to Arizona in 1881, and was married shortly
after, two children coming to the home, one 19 and one 13 years of age.
Dnring the early 80' s he drove stage and is well and favorably known by
the old- timers of the Territory. The year before the Timber Culture Act
was repealed he took up a timber culture claim of 160 acres near Florence
and proved up on same, 80 acres of which property he still holds.
He has been for many years a well- known merchant of Florence, where
he has always taken an active part in the councils of the Democratic
party. To express his own words, " I have been in politics ever since I
was 21 years old" He has been a member of the Democratic Central
Committee continuously since he has lived in Florence, with the exception
of two years, and is the present Chairman of that committee.
In 1900 he was elected a member of the Board of Supervisors of Pinal
County, serving as Chairman. At that election, as well as at the election

,' l NE of the tried members of the present Legislature is Alexander
'" ' Barker', who was a member of the Assembly of the Twenty- first
, Legislature. Mr. Barker was born and reared in Lockport, Lafourche
Parish, Louisiana, in 1849, making an odd penny during his
early boyhood by selling papers" When he was in his first teens he was
sent to Ohio to school, but after a few years ran away to enlist in the
army. He was discharged in 1869, a Sergeant of Company G, Seventh
U. S. Infantry, stationed at Salt Lake, Utah. He then went back home,
and in lR71 was married, his wife dying in 1880. The next year he came
to Florence, Arizona, where he has since lived, being engaged principally
in mining. He was again married, and is the father of eight chil · ,
dren, two living in Louisiana, one in Texas, two in California and three
at the present home at old Fort Grant, in Pinal County. Mr. Barker had
the honor of being one of the first members to sit in the new Capitol
building, which was completed shortly before the convening of the
Twenty- first Legislature" Always a publk- spirited man, Mr. Barker
raised himself to the front rank of Arizona benefactors when he sent to
his brother, C. J. Barker, living at the old home in Louisiana, to send
him some seed of the umbrella lilac tree, which seed were planted by J.
V" Wilson and Peter Will in Florence. Thus Mr. Barker introduced in
Arizona the tree which may now be found in every part of the Territory
and which is tbe finest shade tree in the Southwest. By this one act he
raised to himself an everlasting monument.
1 ':: r: R. BRISTOL, was born in Cairo, Ill., where he received his
{ Will I early educa'tlon. At the age 0 f' 18 he went to 01dMex'Ico, -- where in the mining interests he met with some financial success,
then returned to enter the Northwestern University, and graduated
at Chicago from the Dental College of the same institution in
1897. After several years practice in his home state came west
again and located at the border town of Nogales, where he enjoys
a good practice as well as being interested in mining. Dr. Bristol

DEPRESENTING Yavapai County and taking a most active .!!'\ part in the affairs ofthe Assembly of the Twenty- third Leg-
\ islature is Leroy S. Anderson. A forceful speaker, a clear
thinker and one who can convince in argument, he has brought
himself not only to the ft'ont rank in this Legislature, but has
gained favorable public recognition as well. Being the youngest
member in the legislature, he has certainly gained an enviable
position for so young a man. He was the only Republican elected
from Yavapai county to the Legislature, and only one other member
on the Republican ticket was elected in that county. His personality
has been closely allied with every bill that has passed the
house, and he is also the father of the Normal Training bill and
of the Public Examiner bill. A lawyer by profession and enjoying
a good clientage, he has stood as an authoI'ity and counselor
throughout the session. Mr. Anderson's home is in Prescott, to
which city he came from Illinois in 1895. He was marI'ied since
coming to AI'izona to Miss Marghedte Gale, formerly of Albion,
HE people of Yavapai County wisely chose M. A. Perkins to repre,.
sent their cattle interests in the Assembly, Mr. Perkins having
spent his whole life in the pursuit of stock raising and farming, this
being his first deviation therefrom. Mr. Perkins was born in 1848,
in the State of Mississippi, where he " spent his early boyhood and
attended the district school. At an early age he went to Texas, and for
many years devoted his energies to stock raising in different parts of the
state. In 1900 he came to Arizona fr" om Western Texas and located in
Yavapai County, near the city of Prescott, where he purchased a good
ranch and went quite extensively into the business of raising range cattle.
He has been successful along those lines, and has been a hardworking,
respected citizen, his neighbors showing their appreciation of
his honesty and integrity by sending him to represent them in the
Twenty- third Legislature.
G. W. HULL, Member oUhe Assembly from Yavapai County
W. HULL was born in Barry, Massachusetts, November 4, 1838,
r receiving his education in the public schools of that state. When
' QJ still in his early youth he went to Chicago and entered a mercantile
firm, In 1857 b, e crossed the plains by wagon to Fort Bridger, Utah,
where he lived until the arrival of Johnson's army, after which he
took an active part in the Mormon controversy and trouble that followed.
He returned to the states in 1859, but only for a short time, for
the same year he was back in Colorado, working in the Gregory placer
mine, and in 1860 he went to Empire City, where he was appointed Deputy
Recorder. Two years later he went to Bannock City, Montana,
where he mined for some time" In 1865 he went to Virginia City, and a
short time later discovered the Billy Weasel diggirgs, For the next few
years he tried ranching, mining, bridge building and operating a toll
road. All of which were more or less successful, with the exception of
ranching, the grasshoppers beating him on that venture. In 1872 he
went to San Francisco, where he operated on the stock exchange for a
couple of years, resulting much to his disadvantage. From San Francisco
he went to Southern California, coming to Arizona in 1875, and
after visiting many of the then booming mining camps went to Verde
Valley, where he ran a mercantile business for fOUI years" After selling
out his store he devoted his time for the next three years in looking
after a number of ranches which he had acquired and in supplying the
government post at Jerome with supplies.. He went into the stock business
on an extensive scale, also bought a good deal of property in
Jerome and located and purchased several fine mining claims. For his
many years of diligent labor he has acquired a good deal of property
and is very favorably known in all of Northern Arizona" He was Justice
of the Peace in the Verde Valley for several years, and served i. n the
~ ssemb1y of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Legislatures.
w. F. TIMMONS, Membez of the Assembly hom Yuma County
ELL KNOWN in the political camp of the Democratic party and
taking an active part in the legislation in the Assembly of the
Twenty- third i; egislature is W. F. Timmons, representing Yuma
County" That gentleman was born in Hazelville, Scotland County, Missouri,
in 1869, and after attending the public schools of his home town
attended Oak Lawn College in Knox County, Missouri, from which he
graduated. At the age of 19 he went to California, where he taught
school and engaged in numerous enterprises. In 1895 he was admitted
to practice law in the Supreme Court of that State, and practiced a short
time in Los Angeles, and then for two years in Portland. Oregon. He
came to Yuma, Arizona, in 1900, and was elected District Attorney for
the County in November of that year, serving two terms until January,
1905. Last fall he was elected by a good majority, on the Democratic
ticket, to the Assembly of the Twenty- third Legislature, He is Chairman
of the important Committee on Territorial Affairs, where he has
shaped much good legislation, and i$ also Chairman of the Committee
on Labor and Labor Organizations. lie introduced the first bill to become
a law in the present session, the bill referring to franchises in
towns and villages. He also championed the Local Option Amendment
to the Superior Court System Bill. Although Mr. Timmons has had the
misfortune of being ill much of the session, lie has so managed the legislation
that he favored that his hand has been constantly felt therein. He
has been a member of the Territorial Democratic Convention for the
past five years. He was a Delegate from Arizona to the St. Louis
National Democratic Convention last year, where he was a member on
the Platform Committee, in which he introduced and secured the adoption
of the plank in the National Democratic Platform on territories and
providing for the immediate and separate admission of Arizona avd New
Mexico as separate states. I
HE name Arizona is supposed to come from a Pima Indian word, having a double meaning, hill or little creek;
the country around the famous old Planchas de Plata mine being called " Arizonac." This is as it should be,
, ' ,~ for it is believed by many historians that the Indians were living in this part of the Southwest when Europe was
, ~ i in a state of barbarism, and before even the Pharoahs built their wonderful monuments, which have so well
"' iT stood the test of time. The earliest Spanish explorers, eady in the sixteenth century, found ruins and evi-dences
of a civilization second only to that which they themselves brought from Europe so many centuries later.. These
people had attained the arts of agriculture, had under a high state of cultivation large areas of the most fertile land,
understood the science of irrigation and left behind them artificial waterways that ages have not destroyed; and so
accurate they were in many cases that modern engineers have had but to clean out the old channe1s to utilize the works
of these now forgotten people, But who they were, from whence they came, or whither they went has never been explained.
The eady Spanish explorers merely found their monuments and a far inferior race occupying the country
under which their ruins were buried. The true history ofi: hese old Spanish explorers and priests will never be known,
but the following brief statement by many historians is probably quite correct: " A negro slave named Estevanico was
with the Spaniards who landed with Panfilo de Narvaez, in 1527, on the coast of Florida, who proceeded inland in
the search for gold, and of whom only four survivors reached the Spanish settlements on the Gulf of California. Este"
vanico became the property of the Viceroy of Mexico, and his telling of this northern land through which he hild passed
was probably the cause of the expedition of Father Juan Olmedo. After many hardships they returned to Mexico with
stories of the wonderful wealth of that far- off country, and particularly of the grandeur of the" Seven Cities." From
these accounts a larger party was organized under Father Marcos de Niza, in 1539, which penetrated as far as Tucson,
near which place a permanent settlement was, not many years after, established for the purpose of converting the
Indians, the dream of immense treasure and cities and palaces of gold having vanished. From these old Spanish missions
and settlements, which were undoubtedly founded before St. Augustine ( 1565), there sprang up in this section of
the Southwest our large Spanish- speaking population.
The political history of Arizona dates, however, fr'om 1863, after the passage by Congress of the Territorial Act
creating Arizona, previous to that time it having been a part of New Mexico. A return to that calamitous relation we
have just escaped by the failure wholly or in part of the Joint Statehood BilL President Lincoln appointed John N.
Goodwin, of Maine, as first Governor, and he, , with the other Territorial officers, started forth that same year, reaching
the borders of Arizona after a long overland journey the 27th day of December, and two days later, on the 29th, organized
the government of Arizona in the wilderness at Navajo Springs. On the 22d of January, 1864, a site was chosen
for the capitol near Fort Whipple, and named Prescott in honor of the historian. Fort Whipple had been established
only a month earlier by Major Willis of the California column. In 1867 the capitol was moved to Tucson, but for
some reason better known to the Legislators of that time was reestablished at Prescott ten years later. The Fifteenth
Legislature in 1889 moved th. capitol to Phoenix, the logical center of the Territory, and the finest agricultural sec..,
tion in Arizona. In 1897 the Nineteenth Legislature issued $ 100,000 in 5 per cent bonds for a capitol building, the
erection of which the Territory was much in need, and the commodious and well equipped structure, where the Territorial
offices and the Houses of the Legislature are now located, being the result thereof.
Arizona as a gr'eat mining commonwealth ranks high. Our great copper mines of Jerome and Bisbee, and the
gold mine at Congress, and the silver mine at Tombstone, being household words in relation to all most unimaginable
riches being taken from such limited areas of the earth's surface. The cattle and sheep industry is a thriving and substantial
one, and with fertile plains and fair prices is sure to increase and to prosper the people who are interested
therein. There are many fertile spots in Arizona where agriculture may be carried on successfully, the Salt River Valley
being, however, the best farming section.. With the bnilding of the Tonto dam that valley will become the garden
spot of the West and a show place not to be rivaled by the many beautiful valleys of California.
In this Legislature, as in preceding ones, the Democratic party is much in the majority, there being seven Demoocrats
and five Republicans in the Council, and eighteen Democrats and six Republicans in the House. It has been a
very conservative body and well represents the people and interests of the Territory. In supporting public institutions
it has been liberal, the edncational institutions having been especially well cared for.

PPLD Foundation: Home
Purchasing a Library 21c courtyard paver is a great way to honor family and friends, commemorate memories and events, or to publicize your organization or business. Your purchase of a courtyard paver also contributes to PPLD's Tri - Building project, providing 21st Century Library service through innovative library spaces and technology for everyone in our community.

Two articles about Library 21c were published in The Gazette on Sunday, May 25:
Library of future ready to open in Colorado Springs
Soon-to-open Colorado Springs library blends technology, convenience, community
We also wanted to share this great letter to the editor that was published as a result:
One of the best library systems
Thanks for the front page article in Sunday's paper on the new Pikes Peak Library District facility. As someone who has worked for, and with, school, public, and college libraries for over 40 years in a number of states, I find that Colorado Springs has one of the very best public library systems I have used. From the online catalog, to the vast store of materials, as well as the helpful staff, Colorado Springs residents can be justly proud.
We all gripe about taxes, but when it comes to libraries, the materials and services they provide users because of such taxes, should have us rejoicing that such institutions exist. As they have always done, libraries provide each of us with a link to the past, as well as visions of the future...from knowledgeable and helpful librarians, to electronic access to the wider world.
I am grateful for PPLD, and very proud that such an institution exists in Colorado Springs along with the local college and university libraries. All of these expand our knowledge base and can help our society move forward.
If you haven't visited a library lately, do so. You may be surprised and amazed at what you find.

A PPLD staff member was at the Walmart across the street this afternoon when a cashier approached her and said (with tears in her eyes).
"I just wanted to thank you for being so kind to me. It's because of you that I got this job here. I was at the library some time ago and you let me use the computer, even though my card was blocked. I needed to fill out the application for this job, and I did, and I got it! I was on the verge of homelessness and hopelessness when I came into your library, and because of you my life is better. Thank you so much!"

When Vanika Hans was given a school assignment to start a project that benefits the community, she didn't want to just go through the motions. "I didn't want to do it just for the requirement," she said, "but to actually help the community with something." Hans, a 17-year-old attending Discovery Canyon High School, knew she loved to dance and thought she could use that talent to organize a donation-based dance camp for children. She is a patron of both the Briargate and Monument libraries in Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) and thought that donating the money to help support the Library's new facility at 1175 Chapel Hills Drive would be a huge benefit to her community.
From June 19 through August 17, Hans taught two classes per week – one in the basement of her house and one at a local fire station. Hans said that she had about 25 students attend between the two classes and managed to raise $805 through her efforts to support the new library. Some of the parents work for FedEx and Verizon, and these companies were both willing to match the donations of their employees!
Hans presented her donation to the Library at the October 15 PPLD Board of Trustees meeting. Hans said she plans to keep teaching dancing to support herself in college, where she thinks she will pursue a degree in biochemical engineering.

PPLD wants to share some good news with you. Last week, we received a $150,000 grant from the Mary K. Chapman Foundation. It will be paid out over 3 years at $50,000 per year. That brings us to $1.25 million pledged and raised to date! Since we started out with $3.9 million to raise, that leaves us with about $2.65 million to raise over the next 3 years.
We also named campaign co-chairs from the community to help us raise the remaining funds needed for the Tri-Building Project. Laura Muir, President and Owner of Momentum Advertising and Craig Anderson, Partner with NAI Highland Commercial Real Estate and current PPLD Foundation Board member, have agreed to serve for 12 months to get us through the next $1.5 million. They worked on the successful fundraising for the 1905 Carnegie Library restoration.
Finally, the three PPLD volunteer Boards; Trustees, Friends, and Foundation, met last week to pledge their commitments to the Tri-Building Project. The Boards are coordinated and attached is the Campaign Structure that we will coordinate our efforts to successfully raise these funds.
Thank you for your support and stay tuned!

At a special event held at Penrose Library on Wednesday, February 13, El Pomar Foundation announced it had approved a challenge grant of $750,000 to support the Library's Tri-Building Project to create a 21st Century library system, which will bring significant improvements to Pikes Peak Library District.
The funds from El Pomar are earmarked for use at PPLD's Penrose Library, but the funds will allow for wider District-wide improvements at PPLD, including renovations and upgrades at PPLD's East Library and the opening of a new facility in 2014 at 1175 Chapel Hills Drive as well. PPLD's new facility will feature content creation areas for creative professionals, business incubation and hoteling space for small businesses and nonprofits, enhanced areas for job seekers to find career assistance, and much more!
El Pomar's generous grant will allow the Library to move forward on construction and renovation in 2013, with a projected opening of the new facility in 2014. The challenge grant is contingent upon The Pikes Peak Library District Foundation raising $3.15 million by January 1, 2016.

Training for a marathon. Shorts were what I wanted for the North Carolina summer humidity. Honestly, nothing wicks away in 100 percent humidity. The inner brief liner initially felt a bit snug, but no issues at all when I run. No chafing. Plan on buying a second pair. Very pleased.

Comments about Sherpa IV 5" Short:
I've taken these out for a couple long runs and they are really quite comfortable. They are light and cool. Like most products of this nature they retain some odor but that's nothing new. I love the back pocket being in the center which adds some balance if you put keys or gels in it. I really only have two minor issues which kind of go together. The side holster pockets, which are a great feature, could stand to be just a little deeper. I put a single Gu gel in each and that was just about all it could hold, due not only to the size of the pockets itself but the very thin bit of velcro. I found myself checking to make sure the velcro was secure much more than I would have liked. All in all these are a really nice pair of shorts and I would definitely recommend them to any runner.

What you need to know
A good belt does more than just keep your pants up. It is the finishing touch on a truly great outfit, and a means by which one may exhibit that extra dash of stylish panache. And Bonobos belts, as it just so happens, have plenty of panache to spare.
Your belt size is two sizes larger than your pant size. If your pant size is 30, your belt size is 32; if your pant size is 34, your belt size is 36. Order your belt by your belt size, not your pant size. Go up two sizes.

Martin Kohler defended the King of the Mountains jersey at the Giro d'Italia on Thursday.
Tomorrow marks first mountain arrival
On the hilly, 216 km-long stage, BMC Racing Team's Mathias Frank launched an attack approximately 14 km before the finish. He wanted to close the gap to a leading group of three riders, who were approximately one minute ahead. But the Swiss rider was caught 5 km before the line.
"It was a little bit too early," said BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato. The stage ended in a bunch sprint, won by Francisco Ventoso (Movistar). BMC Racing Team rider Johann Tschopp ranks 25th in GC, 1:03 behind the leader Pieter Weening (Rabobank). Martin Kohler kept the King of the Mountains jersey. Tomorrow the riders expect the first of eight mountain arrivals in this Giro. "Johann and Mathias are motivated to try something," Baldato noted.
