been summoned to Washington, some

IN THE LEGISLATURE.

At noon on Monday last the 2lst
Legislature met in the new Capital
building. II. T. Andrews, being
the senior member called the coun-
Gil together and all the members
responded to the roll call.
On Sunday the Democrats, who
by the way are largely in the ma
jority, held caucuses and mapped
out program of organization. This
program was carried out, every APP
pointee being good, strong Demo-
crat. The Republican members
looked wise during this process
and thought naughty thoughts
about all Democrats in general and
the Democratic members of the
council in particular.
Senator e. S. Ives, of Yuma, was
unanimously elected president of
the council; John ]. Birdno, chief
clerk and George Truman assistant
chief.
In the assembly p. P. Parker, of
Phoenix, was elected speaker and
Curt w. Miller, of Tempe, chief
clerk, with Mulford Windsor assist
ant chief.
Not much was done in either
branch the first day except to com
plete the organization, but the
general sentiment among the mem
bers of both branches is to get
right down to work.
The people of the Territory have
good cause to be proud of their
| Legislators. No more intelligent
body of men ever came together in
Arizona and the integrity of each
is we'll known. If Arizona is not
benefited by the present session it
will be because good laws will not
help her
There is some talk Of county di-
vision, but the Graham county
members will vote against any
measure to create new county out
of Graham. An effort is being
made to get an agreement to cut
Yavapai, but it is very improbable
that the most favorable measure
the divis onists will be able to got
through will be to refer the matter
to vote of the people ofthe coun,
ty affected.
This legislature is expected to
adopt or reject the report Of the
code commission. 1t is difficult to
forecast the fate of this report. II
it is accepted and approved it will
have to consider carefully which
will take a long time. 1t is pre-.
dicted by some that the the report
will be accepted, the commission
discharged and number of copies
ordered printed for distribution
and examination and the final dis.
position of the report referred to
the next Legislature.

Daa tn of DIR O. II. Porter.

A Nogales paper announces the
death of DR.. G. H. Porter, formerly
a noted physician of this place and
who for a long time had a very
large practice in this part of Gra-
ham county; but by set of unfor-
tunate circumstances was compell-
ed to abandon his practice and
leave the country. Many of the
older citizens of Stafford will re-
member well the conditions under
which he was forced to leave.
Briefly the circumstance were as
follows: He did not get along
with his wife from causes
not generally known to the public,
and it was thought, and many cir
cumstances went to show, that he
attempted to destroy her and her
sister with subtle poison, but was
detected in the act, and warned to
leave. He attempted to leave, but
stopped at Bowie a day, and was
arrested and returned to Solomon
vile, where Notwithstanding the
evidence was strongly against him,
be was permitted to 60. He then
went to Mexico where he married
again, and where he remained un
til his death.

Regular correspondence to the GUARDIAN.
Chuichuhua, Jan. IA, 1901.
EDITOR GUARDIAN Christmas
and New Year passed off very
lively in which Santa Claus figured
prominent, and after week of
holidays the people settled down
to their general routine of work;
plowing, fencing and preparing for
crops. A new ditch covering the
west side of town has just been
completed for culinary and garden
purposes. We have no use for a
large canal, as we depend on the
rain to make our crops.
Hundreds of tons ofa good quail
ity of wild hay was cut last season.
The demand for our produce is
greater than the supply hence high
prices. Oats and potatoes 4 cents
per pound, fresh pork 20 cents,
cheese 25 cents, butter 40 cents and
all other products in proportion.
An acre of land here produces
more with less expense than in any
country / know of.
Many homeseeks are coming this
way, several families have arrived
this year and others have bought
land and are coming.
e. L. Reese, of Salt Lake City,
has purchased the town property
of J. W. Marshall formerly of
Punquitch. Mr.. Marshall will re-
turn to Utah to take course of
treatment, as his health has been
impaired while living here.
The health of the people is very
good. The first settlers came here
eight years ago and contagious di-
seases have never yet found their
way into the colony.
We are informed that DR.. Shipp,
Of Utah, is on her way here to
lecture and give course of study
to the women. We feel pleased
to welcome this lady for there is
not professional nurse or skilled
doctor in this colony.
A recent storm covered the
mountains around us with snow,
but did not cover the gound in the
valley. Nights are cold and oc
casionally freezes ice one-fourth of
an inch thick. while the days seem
almost like summer.
We have a good school of over
go pupils, with Miss Bertha Mar
tineau, principal and Miss Mae
Heder, assistant. The school
would be much larger if we had
room for the scholars.
A meeting house is now under
Roadway, which we hope to have
covered by July lst.

IT is remarkable to see the
alacrity with which Cleveland,
Whitney, Carlisle and other so
called democrats, after twice assist
ing in the defeat of the party, are
coming forward to take charge of
the job ofreorganizing it. But the
real democrats who have stood by
the party, and have helped to put
it upon a platform of truly demo-
cratic principles, and to make it
the party of the people, will very
justly have none of their help. The
fact is that the parties above named
when in power, gave the country a
strong republican administration,
and if they should be permitted
again to control the destines of the
party, it would soon be serving the
money power OF Europe ana Amerl-
ca, with assmuch fidelity as it did
in the past, under their manage
ment. Those men have supported
the republican party in two cam
paigns, and have thus shown their
sympathy for the party of the
trusts, the party that has on all
occasions shown itself to be the
conservator of the interests of capi-
tai, as against the producer and
laborer, and hence all democrats
should bid them stay where they
are, and continue to serve the
masters they have chosen.

THE ICE PLANT
Being RemodeIed and Enlarged to Ten
ton Plant

Being RemodeIed and Enlarged to a Ten
ton Plant
Olney & Prina, owners of the
Stafford ice plant, are remodeling
their building and putting in a new
ten-ton modern ice plant, under
the supervision of Geo. H. Law.
The old three-ton plant, engine
and pump have been taken out.
A new engine and pump is part of
the substantial improvements An
additional brick room 22x34 is to
be built, Two six-inch wells have
been driven, one 80 and the other
80 feet deep, to furnish supply
of pure water: The space hereto
fore used for the engine room will
be used for the new plant. The
10000 gallon tank has been raised
16 feet now being about 40 feet
from the ground. These improve
ments will cost in the neighbor-
hood of ten thousand dollars.
When completed Stafford can boast
of one of the best equipped ice
plants in the Territory. The whole
valley and even Globe can be sup
piled from this plant.
There is some talk of an electric
plant being put in as tho new
machinery will furnish ample
power.
