HASTEN TELEGRAdS
 URGING ARIZONA STATEHOOD
From Fridays DafIy)

F
 As chairman of a committee of the leading citizens of this city, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court J. J. Hawkins sent telegrams to Presi- dent Roosevelt, Vice President Fair banks, President-elect Taft, and the members of the United States senate yesterday and Wednesday urging the passage of the bill for the admission of the territories of Arizona and New Mexico at this session. Telegrams were also sent to influential men of the east with a view of enlisting their aid in urging the immediate passage of the bill
 Judge Hawkins is enthusiastic over the outlook for the passage of the bill at the short session. He is confident that Arizona and New Mexico will be admitted into the sisterhoOd of states.
 He said: "My prediction is that the statehood bill will be the last act passed by the senate at this session and that it will be the last bill signed by President Roosevelt before he re- linquishes the presidency to President elect Taft
 "Its passage will be followed by a general ratification at the national capitol. Two more stars will be added to the flag and there will be a solid United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans on the 4th of March when President Roosevelt retires and President Taft is inaugurated.
 "The bill will come up for discus sion before the committee on terri tories according to schedule tomorrow. look for it to be reported to the sen ate favorably or unfavorably Febru- ary 27 when Senator Beveridge returns to Washington from Indianapolis. Once reported, its passage is, in my opinion, certain.
 "Some believe that the senate is too busy to consider it before the 4th of March. I do not share their opinion. The bill passed the house of represen- tatives unanimously. This in itself en- titles it to early consideration in the senate.
 FSenators generally will rally to it's support. The Republican party is com mitted to statehood and all the Dem ocrats voted for it before with one ex- eeption."

SUMMER SPORTS
 UNDER ARC LIGHTS
(Ffom Fridays Daily)

(Ffom Fridays Daily)
 Believing that Because of its su- perior summer climate, that many peo- pie could be induced to sojourn here during the summer season if there were more attractions in the way of recreation and amusement, the Pres colt Athletic Association has determin- ed upon a vigorous campaign with that object in view.
 The association has planned not only to provide higa-class baseball Tor the approaching season, but it is arrang- ing for a series of athletic contests. Many of these will be held at night in order that everybody may be given the opportunity to witness them, and for this purpose the park will be il- luminated with arc and -Acandeseent lamps, so that the grounds win be as well lighted as though it were day time. In eastern cities baseball is played at night under the electric light, and it is possible that Prescott may witness the same novel scene.
 Other athletic contests that are sehed, uled will be foot and bicycle races, hurdle racing, pole vaulting, tugs of war between fraternal societies, and other sports, while sandwlched between the various events of an evening will be a display of moving pictures.
 Generous purses and handsome med als will be hung up to stimulate inter est and competition, and every safe guard will be provided to insure that all the sports are clean and fair. The object of the association is to make it an amusement park for the people. where one can take his family either on holidays. Sundays or special even ings, and enjoy an outing, free from the cares of the work-a-day world.
 The Prescott Athletic Association is composed of business men and public spirited citizens, and it was not organ ized in the hope of gain. Its sole pur- pose is to advance the welfare of Prescott by making it so attractive with facilities for amusement, that not only will the residents be tempted to stay at home during the summer, but that it will bring to us many people from the southern part of the territory who are really obliged because of the extreme heat in that section to seek a temperate cline for the season.
 Such an enterprise deserves the good will and support of every person in- terested in the welfare and advance ment of the AIile-High City, ant if this cooperation is given, the manage ment will be enabled to make the park such a popular place that every clti- zen can point to if with pride.
 As finances permit, new features will he added, and no effort will be spared to make it a nigh-class, orderly resort that will merit continuous pat ronage
 Work at the park will be commenc- ed in a few days in order to get the grounds in good shape for an early ar4arIn.- oF tIa season

HOME PASTIME IS
 IMPROVING WITH PROGRESS

KINGMAN, Feb. 1S.-The Home Pastime mine, at Mineral Park, is be- coming one of the richest mines ever opened up in that rich section of Mo have county. At a depth of 120 feet a drift was run 100 feet through an ore body that had an average width of three feet. Slopes have been open ed and now the lessees, John Barry, Jr., Joe Prisk, and Carles Perdue, are breaking down one at the rate of carload a week. They have in the drift eight tons of ore no piece of which will weigh less than 100 pounds and some going as high as 500 pounds in weight.
 These chunks of ore are masses of native silver. Big wires extend from the rock five and six inches and nests of silver wires fill all the crevices in the ore. Those who have visited the mine say the showing is one of the richest they have ever seen.
 Even the Buckeye and Rural in their best days did not compare with this stope of ore. Along the bottom of the drift the ore body shows in undimin ishing width and value. The Ieasers have put on a gasoline holster and are able to control the supply of water with a bucket, but when the new lift is sunk they will put in a pumping plant. The vein is big and strong wherever opened and is easily worked. It is said that in the one stope alone there is more than $5O,000 of ore showing. The lease runs two years, which gives ample time for the ex- traction of a fortune.
 Charles J. Hutehison, general man. ager of the Expansion Gold Mines company, returned from Los Angeles a few days ago, having made arrange ments for all necessary machinery for the milling plant to be erected at once at the mines. The machinery was shipped from Los Angeles before he left the city and it is expected in Kingman within a few days.
 C. Ross is crosscutting the vein ia the New York mine, at Stockton Hill, at the breast of the 2OO-foot tunnel Report from there yesterday stated that the vein was showing up with a big ore body and that mornings made from the ore ran well up in gold. The vein is one of the best in the Stockton Hill section, carrying ore more than 5000 feet in the outcrop of the vein. A great deal of work has been done on the mine, but no ore has yet been blocked out. The values run principal ly ill gold, although some silver, cop per and lead is present.
 A nice body of ore was recently opened up on the Gold Bar mine, at Cerbat, now under bond to J. A. Eli way, of Philadelphia. It is understood that MT. Elway will soon return from the east and let some large contracts on the property.
 The Goleonda mine is shipping large quantities of zine ore to the smelters daily. The mine continues to show bigger and better ore bodies with ev- cry days work and it is thought that the exploiting of the property below the present level will prove it one of the greatest zine properties in the southwest.

Trees for Waste Spots.

Many poor soils, now waste spots on
the farm, would become profitable If
planted with the right kind Of forest
trees and cared for in the right way.
There is money in most Of them II
they are set to work producing wood
lots and forests But knowledge and
judgment are necessary, and bad
guess may be costly. Many trees do
well in these soils-cone-bearin trees
In particular. The farmer is fortunate
whose land has no poor spots. Few
land owners are 50 well off. Scarcely
one of them need remain unproducdve.
They will grow timber-pine, locust,
poplar, Usage orange, oak, chestnut or
some other kind. But the soil must be
studied and the species selected to suit
It. Failure might follow the planting
of walnut on soil suited to white pine
or vice versa. Studies of various re-
gions and trees that suit them have
been made by the forest service at
Washington. Results and conclusions
have been published and may be had
by writing TO the forestry division.

Is Dry Feeding Best.

Some very successful poultry men
are replacing mash for fowls by dry
feed and say they find 1t to be of
greater value as food and find their
hens are less subject to disease
liz one of Prof. Gowell's experiments
the effect Of replacing mash with dry
feed was also studied with 400 chick
ems fed cracked corn Cor this grain
and wheat) and beef scraps kept in
separate Slated troughs so that they
could help themselves at Will 10 which
ever feed they desired. The grain ra-
ton for pullets was about three-fourths
corn and one-fourth wheat and for
cockerels cracked corn only. There were
no regular hours for feeding. but care
was taken that the troughs were never
empty. Grit, bones and oyster shells
were also supplied as usual.
The results were satisfactory. The
labor Of feeding was far less than that
required by any other method followed.
The birds did not hang around the feed
troughs and overeat, but helped them
off, hunting or playing and coming back
again when 80 inclined to the feed sup
ply at the trougbs.
There was no rushing or crowding
about the attendant, as is usual at feed
ing time when large numbers are kept
together. While the birds liked the
beef scrap, they did not overeat at 1t.
During the range season from June
TO the close of October the birds ate
lust about one pound Of the scrap to
ten pounds of the cracked corn and
wheat. They had opportunity to bal
ance their rations to suit themselves,
by having the two classes Of food to
select from always at hand.
The birds did well under this treat
ment and the cockerels were well devel-
oped and We never raised better lot
of pullets. The first egg was laid when
the oldest pullets were four months and
ten DAYS old

Water Used by Plants,

There is a great difference In the
amount of water used by different
plants Careful experiments show that
barley needs approximately 400 pounds
of water to produce 1 pound of dry
matter, though this figure is not at all
constant Dent corn requires about 300
pounds of water for l pound of dry
ma tier, while flint corn uses very
much less water, and as low as 225
pounds Of water will often produce a
pound Of dry matter. The average may
be placed at about 250 pounds.
Oats need about 500 pounds Of water
to give / pound Of dry matter, and
sometimes the amount of water re-
quired is fully 525 pounds. In other
seasons as low as 400 pounds of wa
ter are used. Clover often uses over
$50 pounds Of water for every pound
of dry matter produced, and peas use
approximately 400 pounds.

The Goal
-

The studio was in darkness. By the
window one spot Of red light showed
itself in the intense gloom; it was the
lighted end of Ralph Paterson's cigar.
1t was a cheap cigar, and its rank
flavor struck unpleasantly upon his
palate; but Ralph Paterson continued
to smoke it. For my SINS" he said
to himself, "and they are many
against art and against my fellow
artists if l am to believe what the
world says of me-"
Ralph Paterson was engaged III that
dreariest Of all dreary tasks; he was
marshaling to an undesired goal an
unwilling conscience; he was explain
ing elaborately to himself why it was
that the fates had been unkind when
they had thrown him into the world
minus an artistic love of-or patience
under-misfertun plus the artistic
delight in painting pictures for his fell
Llow-beings, which the great public
would have none Of, despite his per-
sistency.
There was upon the easel by the
window a canvas. Ralph in the dark
ness could not see 1t; but he was in
tensely conscious of its presence with
him in the room. 1t was an old can
vas, ten, fifteen years old; one of the
last of those earlier paintings of his
which had won him in his youth a GER
tain fame with picture dealers of a
fifth-rate taste-they were the express
sion Of the Ralph Paterson of fifteen
years ago, who had never dreamt any
but the most unexciting dreams of
comfortable homely fame. They had
been the product of an artist who had
seen no life outside the narrowing ar
tistic conventions of an unambitious
art school in a little manufacturing
town in the Midlands.
This one of these was a terrible
thing, or so it seemed to Ralph Pater-
son as he sat there in the black dark
ness and called it TO mind-but its
kind had brought him in a livelihood
There was merit In it, merit because
it gave promise of better things; 1t
was that merit that twisted Ralph
Paterson's lips as he thought upon it.
what is merit, promise?' he said
aloud.
He rose and began to pace to and
fro in the darkness. a simple enough
feat; for the room was bare of aught
but the necessities bed, an easel
a cheap washstand thrust into a cor,
ner, row Of pegs behind the door.
And he had begun differently He
laughed at the thought of the first few
years of comparative aff1uence, follow
ing the sale of several canvases, when
he had, returning from a strenuous
apprenticeship to a new ideal in the
Latin quarter, lived upon his small
capital and high hopes. Those days
were far enough away now!
He tossed the end Of his cigar away
with an exclamation. He crossed Ii
the window, and stood there looking
down upon the hurrying crowd below
The night was wet, and a sea of drip
ping umbrellas moved past in an end

In that way both he and Selena are
very obliging people indeed. He would
make a very good pair with Selena,
too; wonder who he is. He has an
air, though he is shabby but then an
artist can afford to do as he likes in
the matter of dress, and he certainly
can't be an ordinary, everyday indi-
vidual with that head" Her incense
quent thoughts ran on, and when she
reached Ralph Paterson she had de
cided that she must have met him at
some time or another. and have for

man one forgets," she added to her
self.
She said now, at once holding out q
hand: Il can't remember for the mo-
ment where l have met you, but l feel
sure that we have seen each other be-
fore" And then, as he looked at her
with dawning comprehension, and a
certain amusement: Il am Marion
Seton, of Seton Park; perhaps we
have met in Hampshire"
But that was improbable, as they
were both aware. None the less, Ralph
Paterson's smile came, and with it a
certain reserve of manner. 1--WE have
met-yes.. l am Ralph Paterson"
His smile, she told herself, was
charming much more charming than
in the days before he had gone away
to Paris to lose more-than he had
gained. She said at once, with ready
appreciation Of the situation: Then
you heard me call you lame dog?"
II was that-until today" he said
She looked at him a moment keenly.
Then she said softly: Here comes
