The Octopus, through its lobbyists in
the Territorial Legislature OF Arizona,
caused the defeat of most of the appro-
priation bills for the maintenance of ter
ritorial institutions, and in conse-
quence the latter will be without
funds for the next fiscal year. The
Southern Pacific had no particular
interest in the defeat of the appropriation
bills, but it became necessary, in order to
defeat another bill, which proposed to
move the territorial prison from Yuma to
Prescott. Public and private interests must
alike give way in order that the Octopus
may now grow fat. The Arizona officials
must now get money from some outside
source for the support of the territorial
institutions, and this means high rate of
interest and higher rates of taxation, but
then the Arizona taxpayer has the conso-
lation of knowing that Mr.. Huntington s
interests have been properly protected
and that Prince Hatzfelt's yearly allow
ance of $3.50, 600 will not be cut down.

Our gravel beds, which n few years

day to furnish power. 1t furnished
power and could have run another
crusher at the same time. The follow
ing details may interest highway com

much coarse stone in their gravel beds
We crushed a yard Of stone every
i've minutes, paying IS day for power.
Six shovelers fed the crusher. The
material was elevated into the wagons,
therefore but one handling was re-
uuired. The advantages over the old

were almost too numerous to mention.

thirty seconds for q chance TO load.
Under the old way there were too often
two to five teams At 80 day standing
still waiting for others to be loaded
There is no time wasted in throwing
stone back at the pit or raking then
out of the road after being hauled on
Generally they are not raked out at all
A crushed stone road is far superior
70 the ordinary gravel road and easier
kepe in repair. As matter of fact
we now build crushed-stone road
