4 MOST ELABORATE SYSTEM
By Which All County Seats and Important Towns Will Be Connected With Phoe- nix-Governor Will Be In Control After Thursday.

One of the most important bills Of the legislative session will probably be brought into the legislature this week It will contemplate a good roads sys- tenn for the entire territory. Most of the members of both houses have been interviewed concerning it an have lent their assistance to the outlining of the system which was undertaken, in the first place. by James C. Goodwin, who has prepared a map of the proposed system.
 Phoenix is naturally made the cen tral point in the system from which highways will reach to every county seat and all of the more important towns and camps. A surprising thing shown by the map is the small number of roads that will be necessary to ac- complish this. It is also designed to extend the roads to the territorial lines wherever it is possible, and it is pos sible in all cases except in the road running to Winslow. Flagstaff and Kingman. The road to Flagstaff. though, is extended to the rim of the Grand Canyon. Territorial boundaries I Douglas, Naco and a point east of Clifton and Morenci.
 The road to Kingman branches from a point on the road from Phoenix to Parker and from near the same point there is another branch to point on the Yuma road.
 The plan will require comparatively little new actual road building for, though the roads are laid out general ly over the shortest line between any two points there are already existing roads for trails; that is. there are roads or trails which, though in many places are impossible now, have been travelled at one time or another.
 The council bill which abolished the office of road overseer and established that of county road superintendent, if it becomes a law, would greatly aid in the carrying out of such a project as is contemplated.
 At the present moment the outlook for the week in the legislature is not a very exciting one. though there will, no doubt, be a strong effort to land all of the sO-called measures before Thursday, for, after that, the governor will be the legislature. That is, after that time it will be impossible to put any bill through without his consent, however great may be the legislative majority in favor of it.
 The council will meet this morning at 10 o'clock The house will not con vene until 1 o'clock.

FOOTBALL GAME WON
 BY THE HOME TEAM
A Victory For the All Stars By a
 Score of g to 0.

The Tucson football team arrived in Phoenix yesterday morning in high feather, but left for home last night somewhat downcast, though good na- tured. The Phoenix AI-Stars rolled them in the dust at Eastlake park in the afternoon, finishing by a score of 23 to o, against the visitors.
 The visiting team was the central figure on a fine excursion of perhaps 800 people who came over to spent the day in the capital city, most of them to see the game, the rest of them on various missions, taking ad- vantage of the cheap rate offered.
 The game was hOtly contested, but the home team had been strengthen ed by some heavy men, and the visitors were outweighed and in a measure outclassed by that fact, though they put up the best game they could and tool their defeat bravely.

A WIRE FROM HAeERMAN.

Albuquerque, Feb. zS.-In d telegram from Albany. N. Y, former Governor Hagerman denies the story from Wash ingtOn that he attacked the people of New Mexico before the. committee on territories.
 He said: ''W. H. Andrews and friends cannot shift the responsibility for the defeat of statehood when they brought about the conditions that resulted in defeat.
 New Mexico is entitled to statehood, but the present situation proves she cannot get it as long as discreditable men are chosen to represent her in Washoington or elsewhere" He said the story that he declared the people of New Mex'co are unfit for statehood and illiterate, is absolutely false.

Within the next few months, develop ment work on the copper mine of the Saddle Mountain company in the Christmas district will probably be re- stunned, according to J. $. McIlwane, electrical and mechanical engineer of the company, who was in this city yes ,tsrday.
 Work on the mines has been sus. pended for the past two years, owing to the fact that it was not paying. Quite a little orc was being taken out at the time of the shutdown, but4it could not be handled advantageously and opera tions were suspended.
 A final survey has been made CD an extension of the Phoenix ( Eastern lire, which will open up the district and as this will facilitate the handling of copper, prospects for reopening the mine are brighter than they have been for some time past. .

NEW PLANT FOR |CE MAKING NEARING
 COMPLETION
LARGE FORGE OF MEN WORKING
 AND CONSTRUCTION GOING RAPIDLY FORWARD.
WILL COST SIXTY THOUSAND
TO HAVE CAPACITY OF TWENTY. . FIVE TONS PER DAY AND \ SOON IN OPERATION.

Within the next thirty days, the new ice plant which is being erected at Oak street and the railroad will be in opera tion, unless there is some unexpected delay in the arrival of some of the ma |chinery.
 With big force of men at work, the erection of the plant is going rapidly forward. Practically all of the con crete work is already in place and some of the machinery has been installed.
 The plant will have an output of twenty-five tons of ice per day. In ad- dition to the ice manufacture, four re- gerating rooms will be operated. Three will be used for beer storage. The fourth will be leased to merchants of the city, for the refrigeration of vegetables, dairy products and the like.
 The plant win be constructed at q cost of approximately $60,000.. It is what is known as ffty-ton plant, the machinery coming from the Vilter Man ufaeturing company of Milwaukee. The latest type of machinery will be used throughout. The engine is of about 100 horsepower, direct connected with an air compressor and driven by tubular oil l-burning boiler.
 Much of the machinery and fittings are allrcady o rthe ground. The freez. ing tank, which will contain more than a mile of two-inch pipe, is rapidly be- ing assembled and were it was for the fact that the cork insulation for this tank will probably not arrive for at least two weeks, this important factor of the plant will be completed within a few days.
 The big engine is expected to arrive today. It will be put in place at once ard with the heavy machinery installed, the building which will enclose the plant will be erected.
 The building will be 5oxli6 feet in size, with additional shed room out side, to cover some of the machinery which will not be enclosed in the main plant.
 Among other features of the plant will be q distilling outfit. All of the water used in the manufacture of ice will be distilled, insuring an absolute ly pure product. Distilled water will also be furnished to the public.
 But for tue fact that some of the machinery has. been delayed in transit, tho plant would be nearly ready to operate now. No further delay is ex- pscted, however, and the plant should be operating by the time summer be- gins in earnest.

Each attempt to start up was met by the horse back ing and twice the stage was on the verge of dropping about 200 feet down the canyon.
 After trying by various methods to get up the grade, they decided to camp for the night on the hillside. They had no blankets and no wood for fire, aAd a cold wind was blowing from the snow capped peaks down the canyon.
