tistics the committee will be glad to
receive every scrap of information
bearing on the subject that can be
furnished from any source and any
suggestions or assistance that can be

no small one, is to have this record

MANY ADJUSTMENTS PROMISED
Races, Ball Game, Excursions on the
Lake Street Shows, Band and Drill
Contests to Furnish Fun for the Big
Crowd of Visitors.


really big days in the history of Ke-
nosha if the plans of the members of
the Modern Woodmen of America who
are in charge Of the Northern Illinois
and Southern Wisconsin picnic are
carried out.
The preliminary plans for the big
picnic were made at q meeting Of the
members of the various committees
held at the municipal court on Wednes-
day evening and great deal of en-
thusiasm was shown by the thirty men
present at the meeting. While the
program for the picnic will not be
made out until after the committee on
finances has made its report it is GER
tain that the day will be made mem
thing doing from the time the first of
the picnicers strikes the city until the
last train pulls out in the evening and
the Woodmen will arrange to give Ke-
nosha one continual round of pleasure
for one day at least. The members
of the finance committee are planning
to raise a fund of $4,000 from the
city and this will be used in providing
entertainment for the 10000 people
who are expected to come from all
parts of Illinois and Wisconsin to at
tend the picnic.
The list of amusements to be furnish
ed the visitors has only been outlined
but it will be a notable one. In ad-
dition to the speeches by prominent
men there will be competitive drills,
and concerts, automobile and steamer
rides, possibly races and base ball
game The committee on amusements
will ask the members of the Gentle
men IS Driving Club to join with them
in getting up card of horse races at
the Balm track and Manager Breen of
the base ball team will be asked to
put on real base ball game for the
delectation of the visitors. The city
council will be asked to permit the
members of the local camp of the
Woodmen to use the streets for the
day and it is planned to have hundreds
of minor entertainments on the street.
The Hill Boat Company will be invit-
ed to run excursions into the lake hour
ly and it is possible that the big steam
er Perre Marquette will be brought up
from Chicago to take care of the
crowd of visitors and to this end the
members Of the camp will seek to have
the factories closed for the day and
will ask the men in the factories to aid
in the entertainment of the visitors.
Kenosha may have visit from the
Rubberneck Wagon on the day of
the picnic as the members of the COM
mittee are planning to invite one of
the Chicago automobile companies to
send number of these tourists auto
mobiles to Kenosha to provide rides
for the visitors.
There will probably be a game of
golf between professional players for
the further amusement of the visitors
and great dancing pavilion will be
provided to take care of those who
are inclined to trip the light fantastic.
The committee in charge of raising
the money for the picnic will get to
work at once and it is expected that
second meeting of the chairmen of
the committees will be held within a
fortnight at which time more definite
plans will be made.

Government Officials Declare
There is a Decrease in the
Production of Animals
BIG BOOST FOR THE FARMERS

Cold figures given out by the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington
tell great deal about the high prices
for meat in the United States. There
were 6,465,000 less Of the principal
meat producing animals on farms and
ranges Of this country on January
than there were a year before and
10000 less than the average on the
same date the preceding four years
In the official figures it is shown
that the proportion of the shortage
this year as compared with last was
6,365,000 hogs and 100000 cattle
other than mich cows, while as com
pared with the previous four year
average the hog shortage is 100000
and the cattle shortage 2,241,0O0
There was partially offsetting in
crease last year in sheep, amounting
to $4,000 head, but in this time the
number is deceptive because of the
VI GuO OuCCP
as compared to the larger animals. In
the matter Of sheep also it is noted
that the total recorded at the begin
ming of this years., 21S,OOO-is 6,747,-
900 head less than the total of $685.
900 on hand January 1, 1908, when the
top figures in sheep production in re-
cent years were reached.
It is shown by the report that while
the farmer raised far fewer hogs last
year than the year before he received
much larger sum for them. This
increase over the value of year be-
fore was $81, 100000 or $3.50 per head.
With 100000 less in number, the gain
of $1.92 per head swelled the total
value to 500, $4,000 more than for the
larger supply of stock year before.
Corresponding gains in value of all
live stock are shown, but there is a
slight increase in the number Of mich
COWS and mules, and fair gain in
the number of horses on hand.

GRAND STATEHOOD RATIFICATION MEETING
 In H0n0rs0f U
ThE NEW STAR
"ArizOna is New a Glorious Star in the Galaxy of the Union, New and Forever One
 ard EudIYisibIe"

The citizens of Yuma turned out enmasse Tuesday evening to the Main street school grounds to celebrate the granting of sta atehoOd.
 While all Arizona is rejoicing in the great victory in securing statehood, Yuma has many other things with which to be delight ed. We have waited many years for just returns, but the gate once opened, the food of exhila- rating joy pours in. Statehood came to gladden. the hearts of fall Arizona. But Yuma has an interest in the great irrigation projects of the government, and with this joyful news came the announcement of an appropria- ton of twenty million dollars for the completion of all projects under construction. The early completion of the Yuma project is thus assured. But this is not all the glorious news for Yuma. On the closing day of congress another million dollars was giv- en for the control of the lower Colorado. And still other glad tidings c0me-oil experts say that we are in an inexhaustible oil belt.
 With all these glad tidings of exultation no wonder our cele- bration made ''the roofs with joy resound.''
 Promptly at 8 o'clock the band struck up "Yankee Doodle, :" which brought prolonged ap- plause.
 Mayor Ewing called the meet ing to order and in pointed ad- dress stated the object of the celebration, in the course of which he quoted the words of Byron, ''Some days of joyance are decreed to all," which seem ed especially appropriate for the occasion. The mayor then in troduced the Rev. c. c. Coulter, who invoked the divine blessing

NEAR STATEHOOD IN '9l
ArizOnd'S First Constitutional Convention Was Held That
 Year

Under the Harrison adminis- tration a bill admitting Arizona to statehood passed the lower house of congress, and so strong was the belief that it would pass the senate that a convention was held for the forming of a state constitution in advance, but the senate failed to pass the measure and the work of the convention went for naught.
 Among the members of that convention still living are Col. J. T. Wilson, Col. Vim. Herring, Ben. F. Crawford, Hon. Marcus A. Smith, T. C. Norris, w. $. Rowe and a few others.
 Among those members who have passed away are Judge ". H. Barnes, Judge H. N. Alexan. der, Foster Dennis aud Tommy Gates.
 A. c. Bernard was secretary of the convention and John O. Dunbar assistant secretary. Mrs. Frank Loveitt, then Miss May McEiwain, was clerk.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they canno! reach the diseased portions of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf ness and that is by constitutional rem edies. Deafness is caused by an ip- famed condition of the mucuous lin ing of the Estachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflmation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the nucuous surfaces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of Deafness caused by ca tarrh that cannot be cured by Hall s Catarra Cure. Send for circulars free.

Yuma Drills fer Oil

Imperial Valley residents will watch with deep interest the movement in the Yuma valley to thoroughly prospect that terri- tory for oil. In Imperial Valley several thousands of acres have been located as oil claims, and should oil be obtained along the Colorado river, it is reasonably certain that development work would be started in various pla- ces in Imperial county.
 The Yuma Oil and Gas Con- pany is the name of the corpora tion that has undertaken the sinking of test wells in the Yuma valley and on the Yuma Indian reservation, located in Imperral county. This company was. or ganized by W, Jay Fair and asso-  ciates, with $l,0O0,0OO capital. Five wells are to be sunk, and they are to be put down with standard rigs to a depth of 5, 300 feet if necessary.
 The company has leased six sections of laud in the Yuma val ley and has secured option to lease on practically all of the lands of the Yuma reservation in Imperial county that have been thrown open to settlement 1t has also secured land in the GiIa valley, and at Dome, and in the oil country about Bouse.
 A $10, GOO standard rig is now on the way from the east to Yuma, and will be set up as soon as it arrives. Work is to be car- ried on through the summer and fall.
 Already Yuma has reached a point of enthusiasm where pipe lines are being construeted-on paper-from that town to some Gulf of California shipping point for loading into oil ships.-Im- perial Valley Press.

upon the assembled multitude and called on the Divine Ruler of all to direct the men framing the constitution for the new and great State of Arizona.
 Led by the band, the audience sang America" more than a thousand voices resounding in this patriotic national hymn.
 Attorney c. H. Colman was the first speaker of the evening, and he was at his best. In his peroration of Ralph Cameron he only stated what his hearers felt was due the Arizona statesman, and at the close there was pro- longed applause.
 ."Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," then followed by a chO. rus of school children under the direction of Prof. A. H. Mcclure. The number had been we'll pre- pared and was happily received.
 District Attorney Timmons was the next speaker and had the most profound attention of the audience throughout his ad- dress. Like the first speaker, he dwelt upon the care that should be taken in the making of our supreme law" the constitution.
 Miss Adele Priest the beautiful and talented daughter of MT. Ward Priest, sweetly sang "Ari- zona," each stanza eliciting we'll merited applanse.
 Judge John M. Hess was in- troduced as the third and last speaker, and while this was MT. Hess's first appearance before 6 Yuma audience, he is today Q very popular oraJor in this city. He was at times eloquent, and he quite tersely injected some thoughts into his address that have not hitherto been touched upon, at least not recently, in regard to constitution making. His address furnished no little food for thought.
 The band played 'Dixie" as the closing number, and all re- paired to opportune points to witness the fireworks display from the prison hill, which was very entertaining. Simultane ously the whistles sounded and the church bells chimed forth the glad tidings of statehood.
 It was an historic occasion- and one long to be remembered.
 Mayor Ewing and his different committees left nothing undone in the perfection of arrange ments, so there was not a hitch in the proceedings anywhere.

Way down in Yuma a man named Sanguinetti does all the general merchandise and charity business for miles around. He advertises his store, but keeps the charity strictly quiet. One morning, having heard that a family of Mexicans had been burned out the night before, he sent his clerk to inquire if the man was deserving and in need of assistance. The clerk return ed, reporting that the Mexican did not own the destroyed dwell ing, and as for his property, had saved every bit of it. ''Ah, then he is not so badly off, I" ventured Sanguinetti. "What did he have to save2" With a dry smile, the clerk answered: cone string of red peppers and a picture of Jesus. "-Kansas City Star.
