Supervisors of Yuma
Will Appeal.
I Phoenix Democrat

Acting under the instructions
Of the board of supervisors of
Yuma county, District Attorney
w. F. Timmons of Yuma is here
10 confer with Eugene Brady
O'Neill in the preparation of an
appeal to the United States su-
preme court in a case in which
the Arizona supreme court re-
Gently decided that the Yuma
supervisors should proceed with
the erection of court house.
Several Yuma county people
want a new court house, but the
board of supervisors appears to
think that the conditions are not
right. The court house enthusi-
asts recently mandamused the
supervisors to erect the building
and won IN the supreme court.
Yuma people thought the man
damus victory had ended the
matter and that the court house
would be built, but it appears
now that the supervisors are de-
termined to exhaust every legal
resource before they begin to
break ground.
The history of the court house
squabble is that in the oath leg
islature in 1907, Donald Mcintyre,
who was in the council, intro
duced a bill authorizing Yuma to
issue 800 bonds for court
house. The bill was amended to
fix the site and passed.

The Chicken Industry

Call of the Desert:
Dear Sir-In reply to your
kiud invitation to help you start
the Woman's Page in your clev-
erly named magazine, which l
not only hope but know will be a
success, | fall back again upon
my hobby, which has been once
a necessity aud for a while a
boon.
SO many women worry and
| fret how to make their homes
"presentable" or how TO hold
their husbands affection by feed
ing or rather overlooking their
stomachs. They forget that
they married the man for better
or worse, and leave the worries
OF bread earning entirely to him,
spelling often the well-cooked
and neatly served dinner with
accounts of petty annoyances,
neighbors' quarrels and small
talk. When hard times came to
us, as they come to most people
once in lifetime, | was wonder
ing how TO help my husband, not
by working for others and rob-
bing him of a home, but by hold
ing on to a home and cutting
down expenses.
[ decided to keep chickens.
My back yard is 60 feet by 40
feet, covering 24O0 feet, or as an
expert in this business told me,
big enogh for so full-grown
chickens. [ decided to keep
White Rocks exclusively, so |
started in October with six set
ting hens of common breed and
as many settings Of high grade
eggs. In February I had %
young cockerels to sell, leaving
me 20 pullets for u start the
coming fall.
With the money. | realized
from the sale of the cockerels
and the old hens that had done
their duty, I bought a small
second hand incubator and brood
er and began raising young
chicks for people who had the
eggs but did not want the trou
bic Of Matching. From Febru-
airy until June [ followed this
occupation right at my home,
charging for chickens one week
old ID cents apiece and realizing
enough to pay my entire grocery,
meat, milk and fruit bill and put
ting about IS per month into the
bank. The $50 thus earned l
invested in more White Rock
rullets, so that year after my
start found me with 30 fine hens
all laying, and three as hand
some cockerels as any lover of
Rocks would ever wish to see.
This all happened four years
ago. That is, l set my first hen
four years ago last October. To
day have sixty full grown hens
and twenty pulletS in my yard.
During setting season ] can sell
every egg | have to spare at
$3.50 per dozen. But the most
satisfactory part Of my under
taking is that my husband has
not been called upon to pay a
penny for our living expenses
during the last three years, and
| have always little spending
money in my purse. The work
was at first little hard, but now
as | have learned how, my old
est boy, 10 years old land [ have
four children) and [, think it no
work at all, but pure pleasure.
My hens have Melted me about
$3.50 per head annually. This,
of course, is a result of specially
favorable conditions, and cannot
be duplicated with a flock Of 800
to 400 full-grown birds.
The chicken business is GER
tainly delightful occupation, if
one loves these little busy bodies,
and it is simple enough, if one
will only do what has to be done
carefully and regularly.
The cardinal points are:
Choose the breed you like best
and stick to one breed only.
avoid al crossing if you do not

One Unsolyed Problem.

We are all familiar with the many
wonders that science has accom-
plished, but there are some of the
simplest, or at least, the most COM
monplace problems that she has
utterly failed to solve. One of these
every day matters, which has been
sadly overlooked by science, is the
matter of a roof that will keep the
water out in defiance of the deep
SHOWS and variable temperatures of
January. Was the roof ever built
that would offer unfailing protection
of this kind and was ever problem
more yexatious awaiting solution?
The mischief comes about from the
fact that most of the roof area is
warmed from the rooms below, while
the caves, which extend beyond the
walls of the house, get no heat from
below and are comparatively cold
/ For the most of the time in mid
winter the temperature is below the
i freezing point. The snow on the
warmed area of the roof melts slowly
but on reaching the caves it freezes
and this results, after few days, in
a ridge of ice extending the entire
distance around the roof at its lower
edge. The process goes on indefinite
ly as long as there istany snow left
and an ice dam is formed, behind
st
might gather. OF course no kind of
shinglng is proof against tnat sort
of thing and very few metal roofs
are perfect enough to protect the
interior of the house from a wetting
Sometimes a mass of ice will form
downward from the caves, on the
wall of the house, subsequently melt
ing pockets on the inside and form
ing pools of water deep enough to
creep in between, or even over, the
! clapboards.
A favorite trick of the water uHder
such circumstances is to find It's way
through the roof, just at the border
of the caves, and follow down the
studding. No suspicion of trouble is
manifest at the roof itself, in such
cases, nor in the upper portion OF
the house, but, on reaching a point
at the lower floor where bay
window projects beyond the wall, the
general line of the wall, the water
drops on the ceiling Of the first story
and either comes through the plaster
ing at that point, or, if it wishes to
be- especially maddening, it runs In
ward on the lathes, and drips from
the center of the room at point,
where, to the casual observer, there
would seem to be no earthly way of
acco uniting for its presence.
Flat roofs that slope toward a
drainage point in the center are
exempt in a measure from this an
noyance. Some relief may also be
afforded, even with an ordinary
sloping roof, if the house be so con-
structed that the attic windows may
be taken out and the roof thus kept
cool, but IN most cases, while perhaps
preferable to the wetting which will
otherwise follow, this is a remedy
that will be adopted with reluctance.
A fortune and the gratitude of all
who dwell in cold latitudes certainly
is waiting the man who can devise
some method of keeping the water
on the outside of the roof i'll the
winter months.

Forrest Preservatory.

The semi monty meeting of the
Brotherhood of St. Paul was held in
the vestry Monday evening at 7.3o.
The president, H. A. Dinsmore, in the
chair; the usual business was trans
acted after which the speaker OF the
evening was announced, Professor
Roy L. Marston, who gave an excep-
tionally fine address on, "rhe Preser-
yation of our National Forests" 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. Marston has
this subject well in hand and much at
heart. This subject is one of su-
preme Importance and vital interest
to the citizens of each state; it
touches the future of the nations vi
tai existance, as an agricultural and
lumber producing country. Dld the
citizens realize the paramount issues
which this question involved, no hall
would be large enough In our town
to hold the audience desiring such in
formation as the speaker presented.
The speaker said III part that full
revelation of the pubic land frauds
and the intrigue and peculations OF
some public officials IN conspiracy
with the Land office, would fill the
heart of the citizens with righteous
INDICATION. The chief agent i'll un-
earthing and bringing TO light much
of this duplicity and corruption was
our estimable President Roosevelt;
his unserving loyalty TO the princi-
Piles of integrity and honesty in gov
ernmental administration, was at first
ridiculed, then seriously considered,
when men who heretofore were held
in high repute were harled from pow
er and faced a criminal record, that
! lead to States prison. Senatorial
evasions and Congressional exple-
tives on the manner OF wording an
address cannot cover over the slgnl-
ficance of appropriations to unearth
public graft.
The United States, said the speaker,
is rich in natural resouces, 30 rich
that we have been careless and
wasteful. Some 1900, ,000,0 900 acres of
timber land once belonged to the
Government, 1900, 600, 900 have passed
out of ius hands leaving still vast
acreage in the hands OF the govern
ment. The policy OF the govern
ment has been To establish boni-
led settlers on the great prairie
lands and lumber lands offering some
inducement to settlers there, also, to
encourage railroad building by ade-
quate compensation; advantage has
been taken of this and land frauds
perpretrated in which millions OF
acres of valuable land has been stolen.
Already Secretary Garfield has dis
covered some $1l0, 10000 worth of
laud property unjustly disposed off
and asks appropriation from Con-
gress to recover the same.
Forest preservation said the speak
er is a matter of life and death with
us as a nation to ruthlessly devastate
the land and cut clean hills and
mountain sides was to cause maryels
such as the washing away of soil, the
sudden rise of water, the loss of pro-
perty and life as well as to interfere
with rain falls
1t is gratifying to learn that the
question of forest preservation is one
tnat is receiving the attention of in
telligent men in our country and also
that the principle Of public welfare Is
predominating over that of public
plunder.
The excellent address was much
appreciated by the Brotherhood Of
st. Paul.
