Republican Conference

held at Armory Hall, pursuant to call of the Republican Executive Committee of santa Cruz county, conference of republicans, the obiect of which, stated in the call, was to discuss the problem of bur- densome taxation, and general mismanagement of the county business.
 The meeting organized by the selection of Judge Eb. Williams as chairman, and MT. J. B. Bristol, secretary.
 While the intention of the meet ing ard the desire of many of those present was to discuss the situa- ton in the county, and the delib- erations started out in that way. Mr. French insisted upon divert ing the work to a discussion of the joint statehood scheme. This pro- position was opposed by Mr. Bird because, as stated by him, he and his friends desired the utmost har- mony to prevail in the meeting. They are solicitous of drawing all clements in the party into close union and had no desire to let anything interfere with that idea. As stated by MT. Bird he and his friends will support the entire re- publican ticket from top to bottom, without any equivocation or reser- vation, and they had not their hearts set upon any proposition, of whatever nature, which might be developed into contention. But Mr. French insisted upon discus sion of the statehood proposition and finally his desire was granted
 Mir. Bird then took the floor. and held the attention of the audience, of about 200 persons, through near ly an hour. in which he presented the reasons why he fagors state hood in any form rather than con- senting to remain in q territorial condition. In closing his remarks he asserted that he is aware that his position is now unpopular, but that he feels he can afford to await the turn of tbe tide, which will come when the senate adopts the joint statehood bill and the presi- dent approves the measure, at the approaching session Of congress.
 MT. French and Mir. Herrera both spoke against joint statehood, but neither addressed themselves to replying nor attempting to reply to the arguments presented by MT. Bird, their remarks being entirely sentimental, and ignoring conn pletely the deplorable conditions set forth in his speech and the argument advanced that so long as Arizona remains in territorial condition the first step cannot be taken toward remedying them
 When that discussion was ex- hausted Mr. French insisted upon vote upon the joint statehood proposition, and, as anticipated, there were very few with Mir. Bird -but four votes all told.
 Then an effort was made to get the meeting back to business on its original intention, but the people were tired, and after some little discussion and presentation of facts 0y Messrs. Fowler, Ekey and others an adjournment was had. MT. Fowler, who will very likely be the candidate for sheriff, stated that he was informed that the fees and salaries of that office (includ- l0u the opcaororel,snA ,,ao lya 4ba

To Encourage Good Architecture.

The cities of st. Petersburg and Paris

which are SO artistically constructed

A coat that isn't washable is hardly
looked at nowadays. Bedford cord Is
best for this purpose. Such a cloak.
designed by a mother, was lined with
pink sateen. Instead of hand embroid-
cry. It's fronts were finished with a
broad. handsome piece of wash en-
broidery, having scanoped edges. The
design itself was slit in three-inch Sits
to admit Of pink satin ribbon four
inches wide The Sits were far enough
apart to admit of the ribbons haring
between them. Each slit was broad
enough to show entire a pretty detail OF
the embroidery design Only a well
chosen pattern wo1ld be effective with
this use of the ribbon. but nothing could
be handsomer than this especial cloak.
Other coats are made up with rufies
Of narrow wash ribbons and Mexican
lace.
All baby's garments can be had lined
with silk, if desired. except the little
daisy cloth sacques. These are for

blue. or yellow. or any other OF the
pastel tints. The lace Is fine and wide
and is used prOfusely in the triple de-
sign. which calls for lace Of three widths
with the rufrles falling over ea>h other.
The idea Of triple rufFling Is one that
appeals 70 the woman who likes pretty
peignors. One OF the neatest OF these
room gowns is made Of sheer printed

makes one look so exquisitely tall
The entire bottom OF the skirt is trim
med with three wide rufies. which are
set around the foo.. one falling over the
other and making a sort OF cascade OF
ruffiing. The top IL Iooped and caught
to the skirt with rosettes Of satin rib
bon with a tiny buckle In the middle OF
each rosette. The rosettes can be re-
moved when the skirt is Numbered. The
new way to make them is to tie a very
small bow with four loops ana to draw
the knot ughr. The two ends are then
tied In little knots and in the center OF
the rosette the tiny buckle is tackled.
There is something Of a move toward
the more stately style Of dress and there
are Empire morning gowns made OF

tassels. II is somewhat a matter -
