Will Blow in Two More Stacks al
 DOueIaS.

Two more furnaces were blown in last week by the Copper Queen. This will make total of nine, each with a capacity of 800 tons. It also means the additional employment of seventy five more men.
 When copper had reached the crest of the wave of high prices two years ago, the Copper Queen had only nine furnaces going. The company always had ten stacks, with one held in reserve. Tue operation of the c. o. smelter at full capacity is the most convincing argument yet advanced in support of the repeated assurances ot this company that It entertains no intention of reduction of it's copper output, or curtallment in expenses by cutting down the pay | roll.

Judee Lewis Says He Will Not Make
 Chances at Globe.

 Smalley and Mauk, who are leaders of rival republican factions in Globe, engaged in fierce contest for the clerkship, and Mauk's disappoint- ment is bound to be as great as Samlley's joy.

Government and Private Cooperation in
 Compilation of Forest Fire Data.

That the country may have the most complete compilation ot data on forest fires, the Forest Service has invited the cooperation of the mem- bers of the state conservation and forest commissions with forest officers, and in a letter to the District For ester in Albuquerque concerning this years work in the Southwest, For ester Pinchot says:
 sLast fall the Forest Service at tempted to collect from the Washing ton office data upon forest hres throughout the United States. We pot excellent reports from a few states, but no information whatever from many of them. This was due' | in some cases, to the failure or the proper officers to make careful re- ports and in other cases to the utter lack of any state organization to handle forest fires, and the complete absence of any record of them.
 "The fire problem is such a funda- mental one that the Service desires to get as complete a statement as possible this coming season, and we feel that time and money are well spent for this purpose. The best re- sults will doubtless be secured by localizing the work as far as possible land making large number Of officers and organizations each responsible for reports upon small territory.
 "There are now conservation com
 missions in thirty-eight states and territories. These commissions are anxious to promote forest conserya-
 ton in any way they can, and in the
 states which do not contain National
 Forests we will take up the matter ot
 a fire record with them. In National
 Forest states better results will,
 I think. be secured if the District
 Foresters gather data from every
 possible source, and also cooperate
 with the state conservation commls- sions.
 .I shall, therefore, ask your district to take the responsibility for the com !, pilation of as complete a record as I
 off the National Forests in New Mexico and Arizona during the com r ino season. This record should be
 comparable with the one made solely , for the National Forests, and l sug
 gest that it follow the same lines. II should, if possible, be compiled oI | counties. Some assistance can un Q doubtedly be secured from count. e clerks, county surveyors, or othe V county officers. Wherever there art
 local fire wardens, reports, should b
 secured from them.
 n ''It will be we'll for you to work ou
 definite plan of action with the con servation commission early in tn u season, in the case of New Mexico 1. and to lot this commission do as muc :, work as it can. The importance r ;getting the machinery started to 4 securing the desired information bt
 fore the fire season starts, will, s, know, be realized by you. The Ne l. Mexico Commission is as follows '' Hon. Solomon Luna, Los Lunas, !

Marble in Arizona.

The marble prospects in the Chirl- cahua Mountains, Arizona, were ln- vestlgated by Sidney Paige, ot the United States Geological Survey, in 1908, at the request of the Supervls- ing Architect of the Treasury. The two groups of deposits examined are in Cochise County, Arizona, and are accessible from Bowie, Arizona, and Rodeo, N. M. The rock is practically a nearly pure carbonate of lime, ot medium-grained crystalline granular structure, and is white, with pinklsh tones. It is probably available TOT exterior building and for interior decorative use. Tests of the marble were made at the Geological Survey $ structural-material laboratory at St Louis. A report on the investigatIoTp an appears on the Surveys Bulletin 3SO.l
 which may be had on application tc the Director at Washington.

Thomas Pathfinder Car Reaches To-
peka This Afternoon.

At twenty minutes to two this after
noon the world wide famed Thomas
Flyer which recently completed the
New York to Paris endurance contest
j their way from New York to Seattle.
Wash. This car occupied by an official
pathfinder, a driver. a mechanic and
photographer together with trunks,
suit cases, tires, axes and tools of all
kind caused a sensation on Kansas
avenue and for awhile this afternoon
as long as the car is here a crowd
of people are viewing it at the Wear
garage on Kansas avenue between
Ninth and Tenth.
The Thomas pathfinder is on this
trip for the purpose of establishing
route between New York city and
Seattle for an ocean to ocean en-
durance contest which is to start from
the Atlantic coast at New York on
June 1.
New York city who is the official
pathfinder of the trip and whose re-
port will decide the course to be fol-
lowed by the cars to enter the con-
test. Mr. Redington has had many
years experience in this work-in fact
he has laid out the courses of all the
endurance and speed tests in the east
ern states and on the Pacific coast.
He is a rather short heavy set clear
eyed man and is always willing to
tell interesting facts about the many
trips he has taken.
George Miller of Buffalo, the driver, is
the same man who drove this identical
car from New York to Paris. He I'M
derstands the big machine like a book
and he has learned to love it like a pet.
He said to the State Journal reporter
this afternoon that he would never be
able to tear himself away from this
car as long as he lived. The car has
done something never before accom-
plished in the automobile world under
the careful hands of this expert driver
and he is considered the best in Amer
lea today.
c. w Eaton of Buffalo is the me-
chanic. Mr. Eaton is with the Thomas
people and is a thorough student of
the car. He stated to the State Jour
nal reporter that he was still under the
impression that the same car could
make the trip again, as it was abso-
lutely perfect in its construction. The
car as it stands in the Wear garage
this afternoon is mammoth machine
built for strength and endurance. There
is nothing symmetrical about it as it is
weighted on all sides with tools and
baggage. The car is of the four cylin-

FEAR THE PHILIPPINES.
American Sugar Producers Are Form
ing an Organization.

Washington, April S.-Beet sugar
producers and the senators represent
ing beet sugar states at a conference
today formed an organization intended
to include the senators from cane
sugar states, the object of which will
be to safeguard the industry against
the development in the sugar industry
in the Philippines in competition with
the United States
Protests were made against the pro-
vision in the Payne bill for the free
admission of 100000 gross tons of
sugar annually from the islands on
the ground that the provision does not
prevent the admission of much
larger quantity of what would mount
to reduced rate for the white by rea-
son of the shippers proportioning the
free export sugar, so that each would
receive benefit. In other words $780,
900 tons would come in at half the
prescribed rates, or 100000 tons
with a reduction of 25 per cent on
the established rate.
Beet sugar producers claim that IN
short time the industry in the Philip
pines would be developed to such an
extent that even such reduction in
the rate would bring unfair competi-
ton to the industry in this country.
Mr.. Smith Of Michigan, today intro
duced and the senate adopted a resolu-
ton calling upon the secretary of agri-
culture for statistics relating to sugar
The secretary is directed to report the
number of beet sugar factories in oper-
alton in the United States and the tota
production from these factories, the ef-
feet which the establishment of beet
sugar factories has on the values oil
surrounding farm land. local business
