The Statehood Bill

Washington, Feb. 1.-The fate of the statehood bill seems no near CT of solution than it did week ago. Friends of the measure, however, are still confident that the house will ultimately swing around to the senate's point of view.
 The argument has been advanced, and is being used with increased vigor, that it is unfair to withhold the statehood boon from Oklahoma and Indian Territory, because of the troubles of Arizona and New Mexico.
 A determined effort is being made to send the bill back to conference without giving the members a chance for motion to concur in the senate amendments.
 Of the amendments offered it is believed that the house will have no objection to the Foraker amendment authorizing Arizona and New Mex ico the privilege of voting on state hood.

Fire in Williams

The people of Williams were awakened from their slumbers last Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock by innumera ble fire calls. The fire was in a group of three houses on the corner of Williams avenue and Fifth street, owned by Mrs. Nellie Rogers Stone, and was used as a lodging house, under the manage ment of Mrs. Yoder.
 Although it was a very cold and disagreeable morning almost all our citizen turned out to help fight the fire, which. by heroic efforts, was confined to the same buildings A part of the furniture was saved, but the buildings were soon burned to the ground. Only two of the buildings were being used at the time.
 It appeared to the early arrivals at the fire, which was then beyond control, that it had started in a wood shed between the buildings, but the origin is unknown.
 The loss is unknown, as Mrs. Stone, the owner, is absent in Cali fornia. It is reported there was an insurance of $2,900 on the build ings and furniture.
 In the destruction of this prop erty by fire Williams loses one of her oldest land marks. One of the buildings was erected by MT. Chas Rogers when the town was yet in it's infancy, and it was the only house in the city having the dis. tinction of standing square with the compass.
 Had the fire spread to the Salz- man barn, which was not more than thirty feet away, the entire block would have been consumed It was fortunate there was scarcely any wind at the time.

A Mexican by the name of Chas. Freddie was brought here from Ash Fork last Thursday. It seems he had been working for B.. Lantry Sons, the railroad contractors, and while passing over some cars fell in such way that his right leg was burst open. It seems strange that there were no bones broken. Dr. Melick attended the injured man, and is now reported getting along all right.

Notice to Sheepmen

In order to properly regulate the routes of sheep coming onto the San Francisco Mountains Forest Reserve in the spring. sheepmen will be required to make applica- tion showing the number of sheep, route they desire to take and time they will reach the reserve, in order that they may be given a permit.

If it is thought necessary to apply

Cottonseed as Fertilizer.

Cottonseed meal is used quite extern
sively in some sections of the country
as a fertilizer. A good grade meal will
larry about So per cent nitrogen, 90
per cent phosphoric acid and Is per
cent potash. Based upon the valua-
tons that will be used by New Eng
land experiment stations in 1905 for
computing the value Of commercial
fertilizers, a meal analyzing as above
will BIZ worth about 500 a ton as a
fertilizer. Notwithstanding its high
value when used directly in this way
it will usually be found more
ical to use it as a food for stock and
to apply the resulting mi to the
land. When used thus, from eighty to
ninety-five per cent Of the nitrogen and
phosphoric acid and practically all the
potash will be contained in the ma
nure.

Good Outaide Paint.

\ substitute for white oil paint may
be made as follows: -Four quarts OF

lime, - ounces Of linseed oil, 4 ounces
of white Bergundy pitch, 6 pounds Of
Spanish white, to be mixed as follows:
The lime to be Stacked in an iron YES
sci in the open air by pouring water
upon it a little at a time until it is
dissolved into a fine dry powder. Pue
the lime into a wooden bucket or key
and mix it in about one-quarter Of the
milk; the Oil in which the pitch must
be previously dissolved owe a slow
fire and cooled, to be added a little
at a Nme, then the rest Of the milk,
and afterwards the Spanish white.
Mix thoroughly and strain through a
common wire milk strainer and it will
be ready for use. This quantity is suf-

a very handsome lead color can be OBJ

Grinding Corn for Swine.

We believe in feeding swine so that
they will have something to keep them
busy as we'll as for the best results to
be obtained from the grain, so we feed
the corn whole and usually on the cob
until it gets hard and flinty, when it is
either shelled and soaked a little to
soften it or soaked on the cob. All
other grains are ground because it has
been demonstrated that the smaller
grains go through the animals and do
them but little good. Carrying out the
plan of keeping the swine busy, we al
ways have something for them to
chew on-cornstalks, squares of sod,
apples, potatoes and other vegetables,
and we do not see thai they take CT
fat any slower because Of this plan Of
feeding. Pure water is given them in
clean troughs twice a duy during the
winter and we know they thrive bet
ter for having it.-Exchange.
