of Roads.
When the motor car first found Its
way to the Kansas farm 1t appeared
luxury. Soon it became a not un-
common pleasure and then a necessity.
And necessity 1t is today, especially
In the Kansas wheat belt, where more
cars are to be found on the farms than
in any other part Of the west.
Many farmers have them, and ma
jority Of those who are not so fortu-
nate have the motor car fever in a
most virulent form. The farmers con-
fess that this fever can be checked
only by a failure Of the wheat and
corn crop or by the desire of every
farmer being gratified--by having
car at his disposal.
The machines are now SO thick on
the Kansas prairies in some sections

Charles Richards, aged 56, night
watchman at the kindling wood
factory at Laquin, met horrible
fate on wednesday evening of last
week. He was instantly killed by
conveying elevator.
The machinery in the factory is
not stopped until 6:lO. Mr.. Richards
generally goes to work at six and
his first duty has been to sweep and
straighten up things about the build
ing. While doing this his hand
caught in the chain Of the elevator
and he was drawn in, one of the
conveying cups on the chain strik-
ing him near the heart, crushing in
his chest aud causing instant death
There were but two marks on his
his body, one on the hand and the
other on the left breast, which shows
the manner in which he was caught.

School Code Bill Vetoed.

Harrisburg, May 1.-THE school
code, the Philadelphia to Pittsburg
highway and the capital park ex-
tension bills were vetoed by Cover
nor Stuart tonight.
The big road was his own project,
but he disapproved it rather than to
cut 5000. coo from the state appro-
priations to charities.
In vetoing the school code the
Governor said;
"The Bill drafted by the Penn
sylvania State Educational Commits
sion and submitted to the legislature
was 80 changed by amendments dur
ing its passage through the Legis-
lature, many IF the best features of
the original draft being eliminated
and numerous amendments made
which destroyed the harmony of the
bill by introducing many contra
dictory provisions, that it is more
than doubtful whether an approval
of the Bib would be Of any benefit
to the cause of education IN the
State.
Irrespective of this, the bill how
ever, the bill as certified to me, un-
der the provision of the constitution,
shows that in connection with the
proviso to section 2O3, the printed
word city on line 26, was stricken
out with the pen and the word dis
triCt in red ink written above it.
Shortly after the receipt Of the
certificate bill l was informed
by certain members of the Pennsyl-
vania Educational Commission that
the bill, as it finally passed the
Senate, contained the printed word
city and did not contain the word
district and that it finally psssed
the legislature in this form.
In view of this information, / ex-
amined into the matter and satisfied
myself that the bill as finally passed
did not.cOntatn the word district
hut did contain the word city in
the sentence under consideration. To
approve this bill therefore would be
to approve bill that did not pass
the legislature in the form in which
it was presented to me for executive
action. For those reasons the bill is
nOt.approved."

Spraying Tests.

Among the letters recently receiv-
ed by Prof. Surface, State Zoologist,
at Harrisburg, was one from Dau-
phin county farmer, which should
be given wide publicity. The CORE
spondent wrote:
"a few years ago my fruit trees
were dying from the effects of the
San Jose scale. Fortunately, follow
ing your advice, l got good spray
pump and apparatus for using the
lime-sulphur wash, and began spray
ing thoroughly fall and spring, and
today l have several hundred fine,
healthy trees, practically free from
scale. On trees that were covered
with scale from the tips of the
branches to the trunks not a live
scale Gan be found.
"Kfndiy answer the following
questions: () How much Paris green
to eight gallons of water can be used
safely to spray plum trees? 1 used a
teaspoonful last year to eight gal
Ions of water and killed many fruit
buds. (2)Tell me how to make
spray for potato blight; how much
bluestOne and lime use to so gallons
of water"'
To this State Zoologist Surface re-
piled us follows:
l certainly thank you for your
kind letter, making such definite
statement concerning the cleaning
up of your trees and the production
of perfect fruit and the growing of
healthy trees free from scale, by the
use of the lime sulphur wash, follow
ing our directions. This is but an
example of what every person in
this state could have done had they
acted equally intelligently, faithful
ly and persistently. On the other
hand l have many reports of persons
who wanted something with easier
work, even If more expensive, and
consequently, bought the high-pric-
ed oils and in many cases killed
their trees or injured them so badly
that they are now turning so me, ask
ing what can be done to overcome
the evil efforts of their former act
ions.
II take great pleasure in re-
plying in detail to the inquiries of
such persons as yourself, because it
is an inspiration to know that you
act intelligently upon the advice
given and regard it as worth some
thing, even though it be free of cost.
1t is also pleasure to me to know
that such efforts on my part are are
not in vain, but are really helpful.
Concerning Paris green, the formula
is one pound or sixteen ounces to
l50 gallons of water for hardy plants.
For plain proportions l would rec
commend one ounce to each 10 gal
Ions. In fact one ounce to eight gal
Ions will not be too strong for pota-
toes, however should use three or
four times as much lime as Paris
green, making milk of lime and
straining 1t into the water with Par
is green.

The Bulletin certainly can not con- vince our valley friends that it will be necessary for the citizens of the east end of the county to buy what they have long been entitled to--a relief of the burden of making long trips to reach the county seat which are a loss to them in time and money. If the lawmakers of Arizona investi- gate the division question, which is now before them, there is little doubt of them endorsing it. There is one thing certain and that is if we have to buy county division we will not get it. The people of the eastern end of the county are making a square fight for their rights and if such efforts amount to anything we are going to win

THE Solomonville Bulletin of last week came forth with an article in reference to the CliftonMorenci county division delegation which was wholly without foundation, and if the editor of that publication is not care full he will demolish his reputation--as far as truthfulness is concerned. For instance he stated that the delega- tion went to Phoenix heeled with a sack containing Sl5,OOO for the pur- pose of making the mare go, whcnas a matter of fact the delegation was fortunate to be equipped with enough money to pay car fare and board.

SOME trouble maker has circulated the story that it is proposed to leave Duncan in the old county in the event of county division. Divisionists in the eastern end of the county have always expressed their desire to have Duncan in the new county and if the bill passes the citizens of our little valley city will find themselves located in Lincoln county. Our Dun- than to place any confidence in such
The copper era., 1909-02-25

IN THE event of county division the question of locating the county seat naturally arises. Very little has been said about this matter but county seats are usually located at the most convenient point to the grea test portion of the population. If this system is followed in the selec- tion of a county seat for Lincoln county, Cliftonis the natural location. It is most convenient to the citizens of Duncan, MorenCi, Metcalf, the Blue and in fact the entire proposed new county. It is understood that the county division bill will provide for an election on the county seat and new county officers, hence there should be no trouble along these lines.
The copper era., 1909-02-25

FROM an article which appeared in the Stafford Guardian last week peo- pie who are not familiar with condi- tions would infer that the citizens of the eastern end of Graham county are conducting the county division fight in solemn secrecy and behind closed doors. In this we beg to differ from our esteemed contemporary and advise him to refrain from his mere maginations, make closer investiga- tion--and print the truth. Practi- caliy every citizen of the eastern end of Graham county are in the fight for county division and they are doing their work in the open. For instance at the democratic mass meeting held in Clifton Monday even- ing resolutions were adopted favor ing county division; and this meet ing should be sufficient evidence that the companies are not the only ones behind the county division move. A careful reading of the resolutions adopted in Clifton last Monday even- ing, in which the companies had no representation, should put a damper on the lies that the valley papers have been indulging in.
