GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Kibbey's message to the 25th legislature is an able, though somewhat lengthy, docu- meut and seems to cover about every subject of importance affecting the territory.
 A paragraph on financial con. ditions is here given and shows the territory to be in fine shape
 ''I may say here in justihca- ton of and as warrant for this assertion that the four years just past are the first of which 1 have any knowledge in which our ter ritorial indebtedness has not been increased a single dollar, and in which there has not been 8 single unpaid claim against the territory, and not dollar of floating indebtedness-and that within this same period the ter ritorial tax has been reduced from 95 to 75 cents, and the county rates reduced in greater or less proportions AS illus srasiye of this we may note that within the period of the last four years there has been expended or authorized to be expended for improvements and expenditures other than for regular mainten- ance, 8 sum aggregating $496, 900.

TWENTIETH LEGISLATURE
Yuma Fares We'll, Securing Three
 Cierkships.

The Arizona legislature, which convened in Phoenix on Monday, treated Yuma very nicely in the matter of clerkships. A tele- gram from the capital states that Mulford Winsor was selected for assistant chief clerk of the coun. cil, and Roy Sexsmith and Mrs. Mary Wupperman as journal clerks of the same body. AL though unable to take up the duties of the position, the ap- pointment of Mrs. Wupperman was handsome compliment to capable and deserving woman. Miss Lydia Harrison has since been given the position.
 In the organization of the house Sam T. Webb was elected speaker.
 G. w. P. Hunt was elected president of the council after a hot contest, George w. Norton casting the deciding vote. MT. Hunt. a resident of Globe, Gila, county, has been member of every legislature for good many years. He is an able parliament tiarian and is in every way we'll equipped for the position of pre- siding officer of the upper house.
 Speaker Webb is an old Ari- zonan and is also an experienced legislator. He was formerly collector of customs at Nogales.
 The governors message to the two houses in joint session on Tuesday.
 The following committees of the council have been selected; Our Hon. Geo. w. Norton gets the chairmanship of Corpora tions," the most important com mittee of the council, and is also member of committees on Terri tOrial Affairs and of Counties and County Boundaries, two of the leading committees, to which a great deal of important work is assigned.

Tuberculosis.

Nearly all the states have taken some measures to mitigate she scourge of tuberculosis and to limit or prevent the spread of shat disease. It is quite proba- ble that territorial law upon that subject sufficiently specific to be effectively applicable to the conditions existing in differ ent localities of the Territory may be impracticable.
 "I think, however, that the difficulty can be overcome by providing that, in addition to the provisions of general law upon that subject, the boards of supervisors of the several coun- ties of the territory, as the exl- gencies may appear to them, make by ordinance such regula- tions, rules and orders as may effect the specific purpose.
 "The importance of this is ur- gent, and 1 recomment the enact ment of such laws"
 Governor Kibbey calls atten- ton to the general prosperous conditions of the territory and says, m part:

QamdaaX.

The governor reiteraseS his views on the suppression of al5 gambling, and takes a shot at the poker games, and urges mid night and Sunday closing of sa- looms, in the following para graphs:
 "The reasons for prohibiting gambling that prompted the leg islation of 1907 are even more urgent now, and the purpose of that legislation ought to be made effective.
 I therefore recommend again. as 1 did then, that you enact a law making it unlawful for any person to maintain, conduct or permit gambling in any public place, or in or about any place where Intoxicating liquors are sold, dispensed or permitted to be drank. This can be effected by proper amendment of para graph 289 of the Penal code.
 1 also reiterate my recommen- dation of two years ago that the Assembly enact a law requiring all vendors of intoxicating liquors shat are to be drank upon the premises where sold, to close their places of business and to refrain from selling or dispens- ing such liquors between the hours of l2 o'clock midnight and 5Oclock a. m., and during all of Sundays"

INSTALL NEW MACHINERY
Extensive improvements Increase Ca
pacity of Willamette Valley Com
pany's Sawmill.

Installation of new and modern
machinery that will increase the cut
ting capacity of the mill 10000 feet
day is now under way at the William
cite Valley Lumber Company's big
plant in South Dallas. Not only is
new machinery being added in every
department, but the entire arrange
ment Of the planning mill and lumber
sorting divisions of the plant is being
changed to provide for a more conven-
lent and systematic handling of the
daily output from the saws. A large
force of men is employed in making
the necessary changes and improve
ments, and no money is being spared
in rushing the work to an early COM
pletion, The capacity of the mill is
rated at $4,000 feet at the present time,
but with the installation of the new
machinery, the daily output will be
increased to $4,000 feet, and it will be
possible to cut 100000 feet when nee
essary to fill rush orders.
The planning mill, which was form
erly located in an addition to the main
building, has been moved several rods
east to a building of its own. The
machinery is being systematically
arranged, and the capacity of the
plant will be greatly increased. Pipes
for conveying steam from the main
boiler room to the planer engine are
being laid, and construction Of con-
veyor to carry the dust and shavings
to the waste burner is we'll under way.
The planer engine is new, and is one
of the latest models of its kind. The
addition Of this engine has made more
power a necessity, and big l00-horse-
power boiler has been installed in the
main furnace room to meet the require
ment.
The machine that will add most
greatly to the increased capacity Of
the mill is now being installed in the
main building 1t is known as
a Sash Gang Saw, and is one Of the
most useful inventions known to the
milling world. Taking the cants as
they come from the edger, it is
possible for the operator of this new
machine to cut 20 one-inch flooring
boards sim ultaneously.
Another important improvement
that is being made at the big plant Is
the erection of a sorting table, for the
reception of which new shed 100 feet
wide is being built just east of the
boiler room. This table will be
equipped with chain conveyors, and
will render the sorting and grading OF
lumber a much easier task than it has

ever been heretofore.

ever De6Q lerelOlOTe.
The improvements and additions
now under way at the mill are by far
the largest and most expensive that
have ever been made by the company
at any one time since the plant was
established, and with their completion
the Willamette Valley Lumber Com
pany's mill will rank with the best in
Western Oregon.
"The remodeling of the plant will
represent the outlay of large amount
of money" said General Manager
George Gerlinger yesterday, 'hut the
improvement will prove paying in
vestment in the long run. 1t will
mean not only an increased daily
capacity, but more systematic hand
ling of the output of the mill. While
it will soon be possible for us to cut
100000 feet Of lumber every working
day, it is probable that we shall not
attempt higher average than $4,000
feet. We prefer to cut economically
and save the timber"
The policy announced by Mr.. Ger
linger is in line with the forest conser-
walton movement and cannot be too
highly commended. While the temp
tation may be strong at times to de-
vastate the forests in the rush for
wealth, the millman who cuts econom-
ically and eliminates all possible waste
proves himself the real friend to the
people of the Northwest, for such is
the only course that will insure the
continued and permanent prosperity
of this richest of all timber regions in
the known world.

CONSTRUCTION RESUMED
Extension of Dallas & Falls City Rail.
road Will Be Completed by First
of September.

That the extension of the Dallas &
Falls City Railroad will be completed
and that trains will be running be-
tween Dallas and Salem before Sep
tember is assured by the active man
ner in which work has been resumed
on the roadbed with the arrival Of the
Spring weather. The construction
work is being rapidly pushed on the
eastern end of the extension, between
Salem and Eola, anu similar activity
will soon be in evidence at the Dallas
end of the line. Much of the heavy
grading along the Willamette River
was completed before the winter rains
began last Fall, and the work yet
remaining to be done is comparatively
easy. The new roadbed withstood the
winter weather in good shape, and a
few light repairs is all that will be
necessary to restore it to first-class
condition again. The country between
Dallas and Eola is as level as floor,
and as little heavy work remains to be
done between Salem and Eola, the
builders confidently expect to have
the roadbed in readiness for the ties
and rails before midsummer. The
company expects to finish the grade
and track from Dallas to the Traglio
gravel pit on the river by July l, when
ballasting Of the line will be carried
on while the Salem end Is being
brought to completion. The Traglio
gravel bar is now owned by the COM
pany, and the steam shovel and bal
last cars have already arrived in Dal-
las, where they will be held until
needed
Five miles of new 60-pound rails
are piled up in the Dallas yards ready
for use. Sufficient steel for the
remainder OF the line has been pur-
chased and is now being shipped from
the East, SO that no delay will be
experienced when the grade is ready
for the rails. Several carloads of
cedar fence posts have also been added
to the list OF supplies on hand in Dal-
las. While no ties will be needed for
several weeks, saving has already
begun, as the company desires to give
them ample time to season and thus
add to their lasting quality.
A construction camp is being estab-
lished near the old Emmons farm,
two and one-half miles east Of Dallas,
and twenty teams are now at work on
the grade. The crew will be enlarged
as rapidly as men and teams can be
secured. Work on the bridge over
the LaCreole river, on the Brunk
farm, was commenced Saturday. This
will be the only bridge Of Importance
on the line and will consist of a 100
foot span and 400 feet of trestle.
All work on the new line is under
the direction and supervision of Louis
and George Gerlinger, of the Dallas
Construction Company. The contract
for the grading on the Eola-Salem
division has been awarded to Il, b.
Miller, OF Salem. s. B. Taylor is the
Chief Engineer, and J. W. johnson is
the general foreman of the grading
| gang.

Remarkable Specimen of Fruit.

III. Mes brought into the Obser-
yer Office yesterday probably the
largest specimen of lemon ever seen
ia Dallas, which he had brought back
with him from Santa Barbara. Its
shape and color we're easily recogniz-
able but it was fully five times the
size of the ordinary lemons seen every
day in the markets about town. Mr..
Mes says that the tree from which it
was cut contained at least 60 other
lemons of equal size, beside numerous
blossoms and smaller specimens OF
fruit in varying stages Of develop
ment.
