About year ago an itching humor

pretty soon it covered boeh my hands
and got up over my wrists and even
up to the elbows. The itching and
burning were terrible. My hands got
all scaly and when scratched, as I
was doing good part Of the time, the
surface would be covered with blisters
and then get raw. The eczema got so
bad in around the pit of my thumbs
that | could not move the thumbs
without deep cracks appearing. I went
to my doctor, but his medicine could
only stop the itching and did not seem

STATEHOOD BILL READY FOR COMING SESSION CHAIRMAN HAMILTON TELLS DWIGHT 8. HEARD TT WILL BE INTRODUCED EARLY
 IN SESSION. Mir. Heard Secures Space for Arizona at the Land and Irrigation
 Exposition to Be Held
 in Chicago.

Dwight B. Heard and family re- turned home this morning, after an extended trip through the east. A good share of the summer was spent in the quaint, historic town of Cas- tine, on the Maine coast, and after business trip to Boston, New York and Chicago. MT. Heard put in some time in northern Wisconsin muscal- longe fishing.
 MT. Heard while in Chicago has been taking active interest in ar ranging for a proper representation for Arizona at the coming land and irrigation exposition to be held in Chicago Coliseum from November 20 to December 4. When asked rela- tive to this exposition, MT. Heard stated:
 'I believe that this exposition, as being handled by the Tribune. is go- ing to be the first exhibit of it's kind ever given in the east, and owing to the fact of it's central To- cation will undoubtedly attract thou sands of those who are already be- coming interested in western irri- gated lands.
 All the immense floor space of the Coliseum building has already been disposed of and I have secured for Arizona-anticipat favorable action on the part of the board, of trade-one of the most desirable To- cations in the building, with 54O feet of floor space. No other sec tion in the United States at this time will be able to make. an ex- hibit of ripe oranges except the Salt River Valley. and from this fea- ture alone a proper exhibit attrac- lively installed will be of immense advertising. advantage to us.
 ''The relief map of the Salt River Valley. brought up to date, will be the star feature of the government exhibit. while the stereoptican lec- lures given by the government Iec- turers will bristle with Salt River Valley facts and pictures"
 Mir. Heard stated that he had the pleasure of attending a luncheon giv- en to President Taft while in Chi cago. and presented to him the earn est desire of the people of Arizona that he extend his stay in the ter ritory. This. the president stated. would be absolutely impossible. but he is keenly looking forward to his trip.
 Asked as to the statehood situa-
Arizona republican., 1909-10-02

ticn, MT. Heard stated:
 Tn Chicago I had a conferences with MT. Hamilton, the chairman of the committee on territories of the house, and MT. Hamilton advised me that the statehood bill, giving sepa- rate statehood to Arizona. had all ready been prepared and would be introduced early in the coming ses- sion. This bill fulfills one of the pledges of the Republican party plat form, has the approval of the presi- dent. and. in Mir. Hamilton's judg- ment, should become a law during the coming session.
 The coming visit of President Taft presents an unusual opportu- nity for the people of Arizona to the presidents mind. He is today very friendly to the admission of the territory. and his active sup port means early statehood.
 "In his speech at Spokane last week he touched on a policy which means much to the Salt River Val ley and other irrigation projects: that is. the early issuance of ten million dollars worth of bonds by the government to complete the va rious reclamation projects. This po- sition of the president should re- ceive the active endorsement of the people of the west and particularly of this community.
 When the president arrives the town should certainly be gay with st<- fort made. to leave upon the presi- dents mind the happiest of impress sions" ,..
 Mir. Heard was asked if he knew anything relative to the Ballinger- Pinchot controversy In reply he stated: N
 This controversy is one in which the press of the country seems to be pretty generally siding with Mir Pinchot had conference with Mir. Pinchot, whom I very greatly admire. in Chicago last Tuesday. and am glad to have the assurance from him that the Roosevelt policy of conservation has the active and hearty support of the present ad- ministration. and know that Pinchot will not forsake the trail which President Roosevelt so we'll blazed."
 When asked if he had anything to say relative to Center street bridge matters, NIT. Heard said that he felt the board of supervisors had made an exceptionally wise choice in adopt ing the Mayberry & Parker plans. The fact that these plans have been endorsed by two such well known engineers as Mir. Cobb and Mir. Me- Clure should set at rest any doubt as to the stability and high char acter of this structure.
