KILLING DUCKS FOR MARKET
Tive Good Methods Are Bsins Sue
eessfully Used by Some sf the
Largest Raisers.

There are two methods of dressing
ducks for market. BY Dry picking and
By scalding Both Of these methods
are good and are being successfully
employed BY the largeyt raisers. ssms
have q preference for dry picking
and others for scalding. and It b.

method u used When birds are
dressed by sealding. they should b.
dipped several times. or until the

A bird when dressed for market
has left on It the feathers on the

things at the table, mother used to
give me sips Of coffee. As my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals I
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
"And SO I contracted the coffee
habit early. remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then

The size Of the egg is chiefly con.
trolled by the breed or by selection Of
layers Of large eggs. In number Of
tests at experiment stations slight DIFF
ferences in the size Of eggs have been
noted with varying rations and en-.
vironment. but this cannot be attribu-
ted to anything more specific than tho
general development and vigor Of the
fowls. Pullets at the beginning of the
laying period lay an egg decidedly
smaller than those produced at a later
stage in life. The average food value
Of the large egg is slightly greater

"STICK UP" MEN
 INVESTING WILLIAMS

Williams without a doubt is gaining the reputation of being the easiest town along the line to get easy money. We are all well aware of the fact that there is certain gang who hang out here year after year and never work and they always seem to have money and nearly every day some drunk is rolled for all the money he has; but the climax came last Sunday evening about 8 o'clock, when Mike Smuck, the genial blacksmith for the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Co.,, was held up and robbed of his watch and money just little over block from, the postofice. Now this IS pretty near the limit. These thieves and robbers around here have stole everything from a needle to smelter and up to date no arrests have been made and at the present time there does not seem to be much chance for an arrest nor much left in town tosteal.
 Now some time ago the business men subscribed a certain sum for a night marshal, but up to date the council has not appointed one and to certainty it is not for the lack of good men as we know of several who would soon make 8 scattering of some of these robbers.

Stabbing Affray

A stabbing affray occurred on train No. 10 while standing at the local depot on Saturday night. It seems that a Mexican who had been living with a Mexican girl for some time was trying to per suade his only love from going away and leaving him but to no avail; then he threatened to kill her if she went, but the girl who was in company with some colored girls had decided to try the life on the primrose path which the young lover undoubtedly could not stand and see his sweetheart go to ruin, so on the impulse of the moment he decided to end the earthly career of the senorita and he plunged a knife into her shoulder inficting wound about 4 inches deep. Although painful lucky it did not strike vital spot. He was brought before Judge Rounseville and bound oyer to the grand jury.

A Business Man Protests Editor Williams News:

w
 Since ordinances Nos. 25, 51 and 52 have been repealed it looks as though the red light denizens had taken possession of our main streets, as nearly every day you can see the colored damsels lettering around the main streets, soliciting men. One of these colored dam- sells, who, seemingly is more bold than any white girl that every was in this town. was seen to grab g. mans hat who was standing in front of one of our business houses in broad daylight and race down the street. The colored girl has been seen on several occasions to grab men on the street and try to enduce them to the red light dis- trict. How long this state of af- fairs is going to last we are unable to state. but it is a certainty that no white woman would do it or would be allowed to do it.

NOW MEMBERS OF
 "NEVER AGAIN" CLUB

Last Saturday afternoon two youEg ladies employed al Ell Tovar hotel at Grand Canyon, secured horses for a ride along the rim of the Canyon. When the ladies failed to return in the evening their friends beca me alarmed and search ing parties were started out to find them. About a. m. Sunday-24 hours after the girls started one of them was found, but she was so badly frightened that she could not give any clue as to the where abouts of the other girl.
 Further search was made for the missing girl, but it was not until Monday morning that she was found almost starved and fright ened to death. She had gone sixty hours without food or water, except such moisture as. she could procure by chewing the straw of her hat. It had rained during the evening of Sunday, and this fortu- nate circumstance probably saved the young lady's life.
 She was discovered by one of the Indian searchers, and he was rewarded for his labors by being presented with $50; and poor Lo is now waiting anxiously for some other girl to get lost.

 AT THE CINDER PIT

A Mexican boy carrying water for the company at Arey, the cin- derpit, was murdered Wednesday morning. The operator at Arey notified the officials and Special Officer Green arrived at Arey on No. 7 to take the case for the com pany. The operator at Arey be- lieves the man who killed the boy to be one who left on the work extra after No. 8 passed.

 There are two Mexicans whom it is said were implicated in his death, but THE NEWS was unable to ascertain names of parties.
 The dead Mexican was literally cut to pieces, no less than seven gashes being in the face, and his breast was hacked to mince meat.

THE APPROPRIATION
 WAS TOO SMALL

Whether that $1OO,OOO appropri ated by the last congress to pay the expense of ushering Arizona into the union, will hold out until the entrance is effected is just now puzzling Governor Sloan and Sec retary Young.
 In the enabling act. congress fixed $100.00O as the sum for de fraying the expense of the election held-nn September 12. the constitu- tional convention which may last sixty days, and the election to be held to ratify or reject the consti- tuition
 Secretary Young estimates that the election just held has cost about $4O,O00, of which $7,OOO was in Cochise county alone and about $4000 in Maricopa. The average of all the counties is placed at slightly less than $3500 says the Phoenix Democrat.
 Legislatures in the past, in which there are only thirty six members have cost about $24,OOO This ses- sion will have fifty-two members, and the cost may reach at least $3O,OOO.
 Estimates of the election for the ratification of the constitution run even higher than the $40,000 of the election just held. But on the same basis this would make $S0,O0C for the two elections, which with $3O,OO0 for the convention makes a total of $110,OOO, or $10,0O0 in excess of the amount appropriated by congress.
 Secretary Young recently took up with the department of interest the expense account of the consti. tutional convention, asking if there might be any limitations in the matter of clerks and other expenses of the session.
 Young received a reply to the effect that the department had nc suggestions to offer, and that the amount of money they spend de. pends entirely on the desires of the delegates to the convention. Secretary Young is beginning to receive from the boards of super visors the expense bills for the last election. It will be several weeks before the accounts can be audited and vouchers issued for the pay ment of claims.
