APETrToN is being circulated ask ing the Board of Supervisors to eXer- else the power vested in that body by the law to issue bonds for the erection of a rev court house in this place. By careful calculation it is found that very trailing additional expense on account of interest will be entailed upon the county when all things are considered, beoIdes which the court and county records can be given that safety from fire they do not now possess. The county pays out quite considerable sum annually for rent for offices for several of it's officials and for hospital which will be cut of when d new court house is erected, for the present building is well adapt cd to hospital purposes. Our jail facilities are totally inadequate, and in the new structure the present cells can be utilized as a portion of the fit tings of the jail. The bonds of the

If the two men who applied for ad- mission to the county hospital this morning and could not make the prop CT showing regarding their citizenship, are allowed by the board of supervis- ors to enter, the people will stand be- tween them and any trouble that may arise in the future regarding the legal ity of such action. One of the men was an Irishman, and had been in Arizona 21 years; had prospected the hills and roamed over the valleys when the kids who passed the obnox- ious and unchristian law were afraid to poke their heads out from under the sheet in their trundle beds. His name was not on the great register of Coehise county and he could not show his final papers of citizenship. We are of the opinion that when the men who voted for this obnoxious law cross the Divide and present their final papers to St. Peter, they will find their names on the Great Register with big "Dennis" opposite each one ot them.-Prospector

The coop pictured above is from Farm
Poultry; it is Z feet long by 80 inches
wide, is feet high at the back and 3
feet high in front. The roof ends and
back side are of half inch matched pine,
the front being all laths except a strip of
board at each corner for stiffening. Two
roosts of by 3 scantling, slightly round
ed on top. run the whole length and are
foot apart, being securely nailed TO a
frame of Turing. by stuff, inches
from the ground. To this frame are
nailed the ends, back side and front cor
ner boards, and into the top is then fit
ted frame of inch square stuff (furring
split i'm halves is eXcellent) to nail the
roof boards To and stiffen il. A coop like
this will comfortably house twenty five
to thirty pullets till they are nearly
grown; can be- easily moved by one man
on a wheelbarrow; is easily moved to
fresh ground to clean it. or can be tipped
up and the droppings removed, and is a
perfect shelter for summer.
If they are to be used in the spring OF
fall, when the nights are cool, an i'm
provement would be to make front of
half inch boards and hinge it at the top
edge, so it could be swung outward and
upward, and. with folding legs at the
bottom corners, would become roof to
shelter the flock from rains.
If placed in the open field in an ex-
posed situation a coup like this may be
tipped over by high wind. This can
be prevented by putting fiat stone on
each front corner of the roof
The gate space in front gives access to
the whole inside when the pullets are to
be removed. The gate is made of laths
nailed to two inch square strips, the left
hand ends of which are long enough to
slip in behind the lath front, the right
hand side being secured by one or two
buttons. as suits the taste of the owner.
