Looks Favorable for Statehood

The house of representatives on Monday last, under a suspension of the rules, unanimously passed the bill granting statehood to Arizona and New Mexico. The bill was reported yesterday (Friday) in the senate. The prospects for the pas sage of the statehood bill were never brighter. The statement of six members of the committee on terri tories that they would consider the bill and report it means that the bill will probably be brought before the senate next week. These six members constitute a majority of the committee, and as they all favor admission of the territories, the bill undoubtedly will be reported fav- orably.

FOR BETTER FREIGHT RATES

The Arizona Commercial associa- tion is the name of the federation of territorial bodies which was or ganized at Phoenix Monday. Del egates from fourteen commercial bodies of Arizona were present. Coconino county was represented by F. O. Poison, of the Williams board of trade, and M. | Powers, of the Flagstaff board of trade The following officers were elected :: President. c. H. Akers; vice preai dent. George F. Kilt. second vice president, F. o. Poison; third vice president, James Ewing; fourth vice president, w. P. McNair; secretary. F. A. Jones; treasurer, Geo Fisher.
 Speaking of freight rates in this section, MT. Powers, of Flagstaff, said: "You who are off the main lines may think you get the worst of it, but you haven't any the best of the Skylight City. We are dis criminated against in the matter of freight rates just the same as Phoe- nix and Globe. We are always to do our part for the advancement of Arizona, and this is just what the organization of the Arizona Com mercial association means-the ad- vancements of the interests of Ari- zona in every way by obtaining the i reductions in freight rates to which we are rightfully entitled"
 F. O. Poison remarked that con- ditions were the same at Williams as at Flagstaff. Williams will not drop the fight until our freight rates drop," he said, emphatically "The Williams board of trade is going to be one of the most active bodies affiliated with the Arizona Commercial association"

All he speeches were very interesting and were well.received. The quar- tette, composed of Miss Peet, Mrs. Robinson. MT. Ferguson and MT.

Billy" Old is one of the most popular officers ever sta toned in this section. and it is to be hoped that he can be induced to make his home in this county when the ranger force is mustered out of service. He is a man who fully understood his duties, and the word "fear" is unknown to him. All kinds of criminals look alike to the lieutenant, and it is a sure bet that when he goes after a man he lands him every time.

THE ARIZONA LEGISLATURE

When the 3Oth of April rolls around, the territorial rangers as a body will cease to exist. The gov ernor sent message to the legisla ture, Monday, vetoing the measure providing for abolishing the rangers, but by strict party vote it was passed over his protest. Letters and telegrams had been received by members of by the democratic members of both houses from prom inent citizens of the territory, ask ing that the governors veto be sustained; but the democrats were memorable and the rangers had to walk the plank. O'Neill made bitter and uncalled for attack on the governor in a speech, which was hissed by many in the gallery.
 The bill abolishing the office of public examiner, also vetoed by the governor, was passed over his veto. the vote being the same as that on the ranger bill.
 Weedin submitted a report to the council, which was adopted, scoring Governor Kibbey for the language used in vetoing the ranger and public examiner bills.
 The local option bill passed the house Tuesday by vote of 13 to II, all the republicans voting in 1 favor of it.
 Hampton's educational qualifca- tion bill, the gist of which appears on the second page of THE NEWS, passed both houses by a party vote.
 By Burns-Prohibiting the use of boletas by company stores. By O'Neill-Taxing express and tel ephone companies.

H BUSY BEE

the fact that there are not less than
two and a quarter million bushels Of
bees at work in the United States at
the present time, slipping nectar from
the corolla of the flowers and fruit
blossoms for the benefit Of the sweets
loving. Bees are not usually sold In
bushel lots. nor even figured after that
unit of measurement. but DR.. e. r.
Phillips OF the bureau Of entomology
of the United States department OF
agriculture recently made the mathe
NAUTICAL deduction possible. He says:

That is enough to fill 1900 freight

bees may be better understood when

with a quantity Of ice from time to
time. A simple arrangement. which
will give good satisfaction is to make
a box in the shape of a trunk or chest,
lined with galvanized iron, and d.
vided in the center by q partition open
at the top and bottom to allow for a
circulation of air between the two com
partments. The ice can be placed In
one side Of the partition and the ar
ticles Of food on the other side. A box
constructed as follows will give good
satisfaction: One layer OF matched
boards covered with inch Of hair
felt and finished with another layer of
top and bottom will consist of two-ply
Of matched boards with one layer of
one-inch hair felt between. The cover
should fit tightly and be provided with
a cushion of some kind to make II air
tight. The galvanized iron lining is
necessary to prevent the dampness
from affecting the wood and destroy
Ing the insulation. II Is necessary to
provide a drainage pipe for the melt.
ing ice, and the outlet should be
trapped to prevent passage of air. II
hair felt cannot be procured easily,
leave q space of three or four inches
between the outside and the inside
finish OF the box and fill this space
with planning mill shavings or thor
oughly dry saw-dust.
A cubic foot Of ice weighs 57k
pounds. One ton of solid ice measures,
approximately, 35 cubic feet. A con-
sumption Of two cubic feet (115
pounds) per day for four months
would amount to nearly seven tons.
Allowing for the waste when such a
comparatively small body of ice Is
stored, a building ten feet square and
ten feet high will afford ample space
for that quantity Of ice, II 1t is care
fully packed.
Fifty pounds per day for four
months would amount to three tons.
Allowing for waste, a solid block Of
Ice six feet square and six feet high
should be sufficient II properly stored.
For the purpose Of estimating the
weight Of ice roughly by the number
Of blocks, the following table will be
found ~convenfent.

GA inches instead of 12) and care
should be taken to have the hay or
straw packed as well as possible.
6. Cover the ice on top with saw
dust or long hay; IL inches OF saw-dust
will do. Hay should be put on two
feet thick. Hay and saw-dust make an
equally good covering, IL used In prop
err quantities.
When saw-dust is used, put on two
feet thick at first. This will leave IL
inches to spare to fill in the sides in
the spring, when the saw-dust along
the sides has settled.
7. A loft floor over the icehouse does
more harm than good, as 1t prevents
circulation Of air and keeps the COW
ering damp. Have an opening at each
end of the gable fitted with louvre
boards, and have a ventilator Is inches
square going through the middle OF
the roof to create a thorough circula-
ton Of air and thus prevent accumu-
lation of heat under the roof.
8. Bank the icehouse up above the
sill with earth or saw-dust, In order to
prevent any entrance of air around the
sill.
