The Pittsburg Gazette Times
takes a fail out of Andrew Carnegie
for stepping near inconsistency in a
recent magazine article in which he
states that millionaires ought to d.
vide up their wealth With the Door.
The steel king. however, lodges
plain inconsistency in stating that
these fortunes ought to he so divid-
ed before the death Of their possess-
ors; so It may be that he is con-
templating such a thing in his own
case, II he has not done SO. The
Pittsburg newspaper claims that the
Carnegie distribution Of wealth has
not benefited the great masses Of
the poor. Libraries. It claims, are
for the middle classes and not for
the poor. because the poor have TO
struggle most OF their time to make
a living and have not the time to
spend in them. and besides the
classic and beautiful structures he
has erected appeal to the poor as a
place not for them, but too good
Tor them and above their associa-
lions like a fashionable church. II
is not to be denied however that
these libraries provide the means OF
education and enlightenment 10 the
poor, who want 10 make something
out of themselves. that they we're
before denied. ..~--
: 'Mr. csrnegie's gifts to churches
have not reached the poor" says the
Gazette Times. "A costly church or

Twenty.Fourth Legislature.

sembly of Arizona met at Phenix, Judge w. G. Blakely, being the senior member of the council, called that body to order, and G. w. Hull, being the senior member of the house per- formed like service for that body. | The members were sworn in by Chief Justice Kent. The two houses were organized by the election of Major A. J. Doran as president of the council and N. E. Baily as speaker of the house. The two gentlemen were elected with practically no opposition. In the matter of clerkships the two houses have practically agreed to con fine themselves to the actual neces sa y number.
 The most important event in the leg islature was the reading of the Gov ernor's message by Governor Kibby in person, last Tuesday morning. The two houses met in joint session in the senate chamber and for two hours lis- tened to one of the most vOlluminOus and at the same time interesting mes- sages eyer sent to legislative assem- bly, in the territory. In this message the Governor recommends many inn portant measures, among them being the regulation of the liquor traffic by means of high license, the abrogation of gambling in the territory, eXclud- ing women from saloons, taxation of mines, providing for the deposit of public funds in banking institutions, an annual tax on corporations, and several other minor measures. He comments the ranger, public examin- CT, territorial fair and laws favOring educational institutions. At the con- clusion of the reading of the message the governor was roundly applauded.
 Two measures striking at gambling have already been introduced in the council, and one providing for the li- censing of saloons at 25O$ per quarter. The present law provides for the col lection of only 4OS per quarter. Should this bill pass it will cut out the small saloons in and around mining camps, a measure that has been advocated by mine managers and mine owners for several years past. It is understood that new law will be framed that will provide that in towns of certain population the consent of majority of the property owners in block must be obtained before any new saloon can be established therein and that the board of supervisors shall have dis cretionary powers in the matter of the issuance of licenses. The laws will be a marked improvement of the present system in many respects. The impress sion is quite general that gambling will receive it's quietus at this session of the legislature and that saloon li- censes will be in the neighbOrhood of lO0O$ per annum.
 A bullion tax and a tax on improve ment on mines will also consume the attention of the legislature. Many of the big mining companies will consent to a tax on the products of the mines, but they will make an attempt to have it made quite light. As constituted the legislature may be able to get at the big copper producers and compel them to contribute their just propor- tion of the expense of government. The legislature appears to be unit on many of the important measures pro- posed and some of them are sure of becoming laws.

Mr. Pickering has resign ed his position, and after resting up for few weeks will again enter upon mining pursuits. He is one of the best mine managers in the business and will not long remain inactive. It is likely that he will look over the mining field in this district for invest ment on his own account, disregarding many flattering offers from mining companies for his services.

State University Notes.

Professor P. H. Rolls director of
the Experiment Station has cone
over from Lake City and established
his headquarters at the University.
Several men of the station staff have
already come and the rest will soon
follow.
Professor L. d. Scott of the Uni
versity of New Mexico has arrived
to take the place of head of depart
ment of Animal Husbandry in the
Experiment Station made vacant by
the resignation of Professor G. M.
Conner, now of the University of
North Carolina.
Professor Schmidt and Hechstras-
ser have moved into the new houses
just opposite the University campus.
The approach to the University
from the city of Gainesville is be-
coming all that could be desired.
The city has paved the street leading
from the center of town out to the
corner of the campus with crushed
rock and has flanked the paving with
granitoid curbing and sidewalks.
The county is now constructing u
wide clay road in front of the cam
pus and the University is construc-
ting q walk alongside of this road
which it hopes to pave with grant
old when the necessary funds are
provided.
The examinations for the Rhodes
Scholarships will be held at the
University Jan. l7-l8 under the di-
rection of Professor 1. N. Anderson.
The gas machine which has re-
mained at Lake City awaiting the
removal of the Experiment Station
is now being installed and all scien-
titic departments will soon be pro-
vided with gas which will greatly
facilitate their work.

Choice of Cows Milk.

A writer states that where CONNER
cial value is the only point at issue
milk must have high percentage of
solids in order to be good" This is
not true, however, where weak diges-
ton is to be dealt with. Skim milk con-
tains nearly all the protein of the whole
milk, but after the fat in the cream
has been removed the milk loses half
IT'S fuel value. What is left, however,
has value equal to that Of the whole
milk for the building and repair of
tissue, for the making Of blood and
muscle and bone, while it has half the
value of the whole milk for supplying
heat and muscular power. Buttermilk
is practically sour skim milk. Other
things being equal, the milk of COW
which gives large quantity is prefer
able to that of COW giving small
quantity. The former is sure to have
a rugged constitution, good digestive
power, depth of respiration and good
physiological traits. A phlegmatic tenn
