turkeys.
And apart from their beauty, their
money value on the market is some
thing handsome. For the past two
seasons dressed turkeys have ranged
from twenty to twenty-five cents per
mound on the city markets. and at
that price. any little extra attention
given them is well repaid.
Avoid Inbreeding and Feed Well I'm Spring.

AGAINST ~inbreeding Gas it, is worse
with turkeys than with hens), and
also that a liberal ration of meat be
fed the old stock while laying. For
early in spring, when turkeys first
begin to lay. there are very few
hugs. worms or insects for them to
nick up, and a turkeys diet must
consist largely of meat if you want
strong. healthy poults.
1t is not necessary that the male
bird should be with the hens during
the LAYING season, as one days SER
vice will fertilize an entire litter of
eggs. be they eleven or fifteen. If
the male bird is kept away from the
hens. they will not wander off so far
and will make their nest close in.
Eggs should be removed from nest
daily after first one is laid, leaving
one in the nest. Do not put your
hand in the nest, as with some ner-
vOus hens it will cause them to leave
the nest. Take a stick and remove
the egg.

Crude Oil For NILS.

The Hays Republican Of last week
says:
The new crude oil burners at the
Yost mill have attracted many visitors
the past week. The oil is first heated
and then converted into spray by
mixing with steam. The mill burns
fabout l barrel of oil an hour. 1t
costs one dollar a barrel and two
and three quarter barrels equal ton
of coal. There is saving of ten
dollars day on fuel, besides the
costof unloading coal, burning out
of CRATES, ETC., and a whole lot of
dirt. There are three storage tanks
holding a carload Of oil each at the
mill.

BONDS CARRY IN
ALL COUNTIES.
The Great Bend and Gulf R. R.
is a Winner.
A REASONABLY HEAVY. VOTE.

The bonds in aid of the Great Bend
4 Gulf railroad were carried in both
Great Bend city and South Bend
township. The vote was reasonably
strong. considering the weather-a
cold rain falling most all day-and
the general lack Of interest in any
special election.
In the city the vote was as follows:
First ward, for As against 8
Second ward, for IA against 5
Third ward, for Sc against 10
Fourth ward, for 43 against I
Total PSI 25
Majority for bonds, 226.
In South Bend township the vote
was surprise to both those favoring
and opposing the bonds. A larger
vote was got out than it was thought
possible on such day.
The vote was: For the bonds %.
against u. Majority for the bonds l.
IN STAFFORD COUNTY.
The bonds carried in St. John CITY,
and in each Of the townships through
Stafford county by good majorities.
The vote in that county was as fol.
lows:
ST. John City, yes 212, no 8
St. John Twp. yes 26S, no Is
Ohio Twp, yes 81. no IA
Rose Val'y Twp. yes ga no 3
lolal GIL Al
Majority for bonds $40.
This means that the Great Bend &
Gulf will be 60. 1t means more to
Great Bend and the territory sur
rounding US than most people at the
present realize.
IN BARBER COUNTY.
In the two townships in Barber
county which the road goes through
the bonds also carried. The vote was
as follows:
Medicine Lodge Twp. yes 2l7 10 Is
Elm Mills Twp. yes S3 no 90
Total $50 46
Majority for bonds 204.
We are glad to note that the voting
in the city was done principally by
the business men and tax payers, and
that there was no unseemly scramble
to induce men whose interests would
not be materially effected to 60 to
the polls and vote either way. 1t was
a quiet business like election.

CAMP VERDE WANTS A NEW
 SCHooLHoUSE.
(From Wednesdays Daily )

The supervisors yesterday heard the request of the residents of Camp Verde in regard to issuing bonds in the sum of $l 500 to build 2. schoolhouse. Such a building is needed. and the taxpay- CTS are willing ro pay for it, but ae- eording to law. such authority must is sue from the board of supervisors. The matter was referred to the district at torney for an opinion as to the validity of the petition.
 The remainder of the session was de voted to routine work, and this being completed a postponement was taken to the third Monday of the present month, when the members will meet as board of equalization
 Chairman Sinclair was absent a; this session. jut it is reported will be in attendance at the meeting as q board of equalization. when. unless all signs fail, tbrrc will be something doing in inc matter of increases in certain asscssmelts.
 From what is already obtainable Tn the way of advsnce predictions it is no sure thing that the board may not have to ''sit up aights" to get away with the task h",ore its members.
 Several instances of proposed in creased assessments are already heard of from seeond-uslded sources, and such news as k 1t this time to be had, points to what is generally de elared as a inisb fight Increases in the assessment of rich corporations have been made NJ the southern part of the territory, aal it is not unlikely that Yavapai ra nty may follow the good example tcit has hccn set.

When questioned at his little home back of a neat cottage on South CorteZ street, he at first was diff fident as to explaining what he was attempting, and said he would much rather his case would not become a matter of publicity. After few words preliminary of his peculiar un- dertaking to rid himself of lung trou- ble. he said:
 CT am sorry that this has to be put in print. hut can assure you that it is simply last resort of a sick man to regain his health. I am not trying to break any fasting records, and I am certainly not desirous of gaining any notoriety in this way, but I can tell you all you want to know. I am fast ing because l am convinced that until my digestive organs are allowed to rest, and nature given an opportunity to act m healing badly diseased syS- tenn, in the hope that in this way l may again grow well and strong.'

He is a slightly built man. five feet nine inches in height. and at the time that he was being interviewed declared he weighed lO3 pounds.

ANOTHER RAILROAD MAY TAP
 THIS COUNTY.
(From Wednesdays Daily.) )

Iavapai county will probably have another railroad to be built purely for the development of the mineral resour- ees of central Arizona, including Cave Creek district, and the mining regions
 on the north as far as the southernmost point reached by the Prescott and Eastern. The company for this pur- pose has not yet been formed, though there was meeting here a couple of weeks ago, with that end in view, says the Phoenix Republican. The men
 interested in this project compose group of Boston and New York capi- talists who have joint interests in the east, and who have become jointly in- terested in mining properties in va rious parts of the country.
 The advantage of such a road was first pointed out to them by John Me Cabe, who is engaged in forwarding country as well as in Pinal county Two surveys of a preliminary char acter have been made and it is said that there would be comparatively lit- tie heavy work. No very definite de- scription of the line has been given out, but it is stated that the road will pass through the richer part of the Cave Creek country and then pass north and west. crossing New river near the Alkire ranch, and the Agua Fria not far from the old Goddard station. The northern terminus of it will be in the neighborhood of Turkey creek, where it is said to be part of the plan of the promoters to touch a point on the Prescott and Eastern.
 The meeting before mentioned was primarily called for the discussion of mining matters also. but on account of the condition of the weather at that time the visitors determined to cut their stay short. It was arranged that another meeting should be held either here or in the east between Oe- tober and the middle of that month.

Is Proving A Success In California And
 Russia
Suggestion Made That It Be Tried In
 Arizona
[From Saturdays Daily.)

The use of petroleum as a metallur- gical fuel, is likely to attain increas- ed importance, especially in Arizona and elsewhere in the southwest, where coal and coke are dear, and petroleum can be obtained at comparatively low cost from southern California, says the Engineering and Mining Journal. The failure of certain attempts to use this fuel, which have already been made in Arizona, has been due to defective metallurgical practice, rather than to any difficulty in the use of the fuel. At the Selby shelter, near San Fran cisco, petroleum has been used with great success for several years for the heating of various kinds of furnaces.
 In this connection the smelling prae tice at Kedabeg, in Russia is of par ticular interest, since it outlines the method by which petroleum is applied to the heating of smelling and refining furnaces, on the largest scale that has yet been practiced. Even the furn- aces employed at Kedabeg, however, are small in comparison with those which are used in America, but the application of petroleum to the larger furnaces is obviously only matter of detail, requiring some modification in the introduction of the liquid fuel an alogous to the method of applying gas eous fuel in long zinc-smelting furn- aces, wherein approximately the same temperature has to be maintained throughout the furnace.
 Incidentally, it is interesting to note that the furnace plant at Keda- beg is unhOused. This would consti- tute a precedent for a similar arrange ment in Arizona and elsewhere. where the climate is dry, which has indeed been suggested. However, it is doubt ful if this be wise method of cheap ening the cost of plant construction. At Kedabeg there are rains, and explo- sions of matte sometimes occur. It is remarked that the fragments do not fly far, and the men easily find shelter from them. The need of being on the lookout for such accidents is not. how ever, conducive to good work.

HAS TASTED NO FOOD FOR
 DAYS.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 In three room cottage located di- rectly in the rear of 329 Cortez street, James Hall, comparative stranger ir this section of the territory, is under going a most remarkable self-treatment in the hope of regaining his health; this treatment being nothing other than a protracted fast that commenc- ed July IS of this year, and as yet has not been broken. The man with nerves who has undertaken to cure himself by eating no food until he is certain his stomach and other digestive organs have received a rest that will put them in good working order, is a victim of lung trouble. and as last resort is trying to put his stomach in a healthy condition by giving it as much rest as is possible.
 The news Of this strange undertaking on the part of Hall reached the Jour nal-Miner Sunday. but for lack of time it was not until yesterday that Hall was located and the facts in cOnnec- tion with his strange and original treatment was obtainable. Hall is a railroad man. and when last employed was at work at Huron. where he fin ally became too weak to continue in the service of the Santa Fe company. He is man 3j years of age. ma tive of Illinois, and for nearly four years past has been a resident on the
