/ The mountain air of this section is
more agreeable 10 him than the alfalfa
OF one of the Salinas, not to say the
muddy soil that infests that locality
since the rain has fallen so abundant

During his recent visit to Washing
ton, Forest Supervisor F. r. Stewart
| had a conversation with Senator For
akre, of Ohio, with whom be has been
acquainted for twenty five years, on
the statehood question. The senator
assured Mr.. Stewart that the joint
statehood bill viii never be passed in
] its present shape. The only way that
/ il can be passed is with an amend
ment providing for a separate vote of
the two territories and rejection by
either will defeat the bill. Mr.. Ste
wart says that Senator Foraker has
done valiant service for Arizona on
the statehood question. He is a very
ardent admirer of the senator and
thinks him, a feasible and logical
presidential possibility for 1908.
A car load of eggs arrived on yester-
days train from the north. There are
probably very few people WHO are
aware just what a car load OF eggs
means. The Journal Miner representa-
tive who obtained this item of news
did not know, and obtained the infor-
nation to satisfy his own curiosity.
As there are probably some readers OF
tie paper who are as curious as he
was, and who may be interested in
knowing the information it is given for
their benefit. There are four hundred
cases of eggs in car load. A case
consists of thirty dozen eggs. hence
four hundred cases would be -, 600
doz. or 144,OOO eggs. This number of
eggs, allowing to each person would
be sufficient to provide eggs for break
fast for an army of 1900 soldiers
This car load was consigned to the
BIB company.
President Hunt, of the council has
had several years experience in Iegis-
lative matters, and is generally pretty
level headed, but he evidently per
mitted some one to impose on him
when he introduced that bill to amend
the Andrews tax law. Under the An
drews' law, a corporation dissatisfied
with its assessment must first pay its
taxes before it can obtain standing in
court. Under the law, as proposed by
this amendment, it could refuse to
pay any portion of its taxes, until
final adjudication in the courts, and
it could be permitted to drag for
years. Where the taxes are for any
large amount the plan is to force the
supervisors to a compromise. The Law
as it stands at present is in the inter
est of good government and the
amendment should be defeated. Mr.
Hunt did not care to father the per
nicous amendment and introduced it
4 by request. The forfeit money has
been put up for the inter county steer
tying contest between representatives
of Maricopa and Yavapai counties
This is the result of a match that
has been undergoing arrangements
ever since last fall. The Yavapai con-
/ testants will be Joe Rudy and Walter
Cline and the Maricopa champions
will be Wayne Davis and William An
derson. The match will be held ID
Phoenix, on February 18th and the
terms of it are that each man shall tie
three steers and shall contribute $3.50
to the purse. The winning team will
take the roll. -Republicans.
