joint meeting as soon as it can be
arranged for the purpose of conferring K
on the Narrow Guage bond matter
and other matters relating to both
counties and arising out of the division.
1t is thought that such meeting will
be benifcial to the members of both
boards and that they can accomplish a
great deal more than they could ac-
complish by correspondence.
The appointment of Charles T Con
nell as Chinese Inspector to be stat
ioned at Yuma, came as a surprise to
his many friends. Mr.. Connell is
exceptionally fitted for the position to
which he has been appointed having
had long experience in that line. He
has always been closely identified
with the party here and the appoint
ment will be considered a popular one
by local Republicans.
E A Mcfarland, assistant general
mana ger of the Cananea, Yaqui River
and Pacific railroad, returned from
Los Angeles this week, where he had
been in consultation With general
manager Epes Randolph. Mr. Nc
Farland stated that it would be at
least one year before the road would
be extended south from Pearce. The
work on the road from Cochise to
Pearce is progressing satisfactorily.

Hobsom Brothers, of Ventura, Cal,
last year, purchased the Pringle cattle,

ing after their investment. Owing to
the drouth and consequent poor con-
dition of the cattle, very few were
moved last year; but the range outlook
is so favorable at present that MIR.

ing spring

The Colorado senate has unanimous
ly adopted a joint memorial askin g
congress to pass the omnibus state
hood bill
Senator Barela, who is of Spanish
descent and the oldest continuous
member of the legislature. having
served continuously since Colorado was
a territory, spoke strongly against
admission of New Mexico and Arizona
as one state.
He favored New Mexico above any
of the other territories, saying that
during the civil war New Mexico fur
nished more troops to the union cause
than all the rest of the then eXistin g
territories combined, and during the
Spanish American war two compa nies
from New Mexico fought in Cuba.
This was greater number of vol
unteers, he declared, than any other
territory supplied and more than u
number of the states had furnished.
The patriotism of New MeXicos citi-
zenss was proved by this, he said, and
their loyalty could not be doubted
when they were willing to fight
against men of their own blood. He
refuted the charges that New Mexico's
predominant population was not fit to
become citizens of a state.

Spraying Fruit Trees.

It is evident that many fruit growers
do not realize the fact that the time now
left in which sprays for the San Jose
scale may be applied is very limited.
The lime-sulphur or the kerosene water
sprays cannot be applied with safety to
the tree after the buds have burst. This
leaves only three weeks, or -four at the
most, in which spraying for scale can
be done. We cannot urge upon fruit.
growers too strongly the necessity OF
making immediate preparations for
spraying. Pump, rods. lose, etc., may
be obtained Of John w. Stewart, Mar
tinsburg, if desired. Let every fruit
grower with infested trees feel the ur-
gency and seriousness OF the situation
and get at work Immediately. Any in
auiries about this work may be ad-
dressed TO the undersigned at Martins
burg. The best way TO learn about how
to make and apply the sprays is to at
tend one of the field meetings. AT these
meetings we show several kinds Of spray
ing outfits. and make and apply the two
best sprays for scale. The last two
meetings in this vicinity will be held on
Tuesday and Wednesday. March / and
lS-on Tuesday in the orchard OF Hon.
Z. NJ. Wetzell near Millville, and on
Wednesday in the orchard Of Miss Julia
Terrill, three miles northeast OF Charles
Town. The hour of meeting is $50 a.
m. sharp. 1t is for the interest OF all
fruit growers to attend one Of these
meetings.
