OF the alleged iilegality Of the state

the county have become so thorough

that Tulsa county will be in the lead
of other counties of the state in the

PLANS TO CORNER THE CHILL

DIlz TIE FOREIGN AGENT
Congress May BE Asked TO Inyesti-
gate the Workings of the Pur-
posed Chill Trust.

Alex Garcia. Tulsa Mexican, who
would rather make chill than help
Madero or some other patriot fight
for the independence Of Mexico, is at
the head OF an organization Of chill
makers, known as The Interna-
tonal Chill Bean Syndicate" The
purpose of the company. as explained
by Garcia. is to control the worlds
supply of chilli beans, and thereby
corner the chill con carne industry
In this country.
Crop Was Short.
Last year the chill bean crop was
short and in many chill "parlors"
they had to use navy beans. Most OF
the chill beans used in this country
are grown on the Gulf coast Of Texas.
1--WE intend buying up all the chill
bean ranches in the world" said Gar
cia yesterday 'and then when we
know we have control of the supply,
we will be contented."
II suppose you viii then make your
competitors in the chill business pay
about double the usual price for the
beans they use" said Garcia's inter-
rogator
Won't Sell Any Beans.
"Oh, no." responded the Mexican
with a smile, I'VE will not sell them
at all. No one can buy any of our
crop"
"But man alive" exploded the in
terviewer as he deity caught one
end OF a sphagett string with his
fork and poised II half way between
the dish and his mouth. where's the
advantage. what do you make out
Of II. your company"
"Oh. forget IT," responded Garcia,
you Mericanos are too dense. Don't
you see? We will own all the chill
beans. No one can make chill with
out chilli beans. There will be one
member Of our syndicate in each city.
He and he alone will have the use Of
real chill beans in his locality. Con-
seduently no one else can make chill
there but him. Oh. It's fine
scheme"

Oh, You Mint JuIep

Washington, August 12-Congress. man Ollie James and Dr. Harvey Wiley, who, with Col. Henry Waiter son, were named as a committee to settle an alleged bet of 32,000 relative to how to make a mint julep, today discussed this beveridge.
 James set forth that a mint julep should be mixed in a silver cup with a lump of sugar in the bottom, with a leaf or two of mint, with cracked ice filling the cup to the brim and stirred as put in, thus crushing the mint and putting a fine frost on the outside ot the cup. an important ornamental fea- ture. The stirring should be done with a silver spoon, whiskey added and the wonder is complete.
 Wiley, who is teetotaler, said that if he was called on to produce a mint julep he would first procure the mint and then call in a first class bartender

 Several days since Col. Epes Ran dolph made a statement public that the Southern Pacific company was preparing to build the levees below the hne in case the government decid ed not to resume the task. This paper is in receipt of note from Col. ". H. Holabird which reads:
 Editor Daily Standard - Dear Sir-I am reliably informed by wire dated Washington, Aug. g, that it will not be possible to se- cure congressional action for a further appropriation for the con trol of the Colorado river.

San Bernardino August 12-The smouldering logs dislodged and rolled down the mountain sides by a sharp earthquake shock, started another for est fire today which may prove ser ious. Forest Supervisor Charlton has dispatched forty men to fight the new blaze.
 The fire is in Devils Canyon, above which the \recent conflagration ragged last week. The trembler which was felt slightly in this city, sent smoul- dering logs tumbling down the brush laden flor of the canyon. Flames sprang up immediately, and a fresh breeze is spreading them rapidly.
 After burning about eighty acres of brush the fire was extinguished late to-day.

Summer Resorts vS. Summer Resources

fortnight at a little homelike hotel in the mountains or two months camp ing trip along the coast, with the father as the guide, would have brought the family closer together, and have accomplished the purpose for which the vacation was intended.
 The way in which vacations are spent is not a matter of indifference to the health conservationist. A high state of individual physical efficiency is a great factor in the battle against disease.
 While the spending of ones vaca. ton is undoubtedly ones own affair, the success or failure of the project is directly or indirectly of importance to the whole commonwealth. Popular opinion has much to do with the de- cisions of people in such matters. The popular definition of the term vaca- ton should mean that complete change in ones routine life which will bring him or her back refreshed, with active muscles, a good digestion a circulation which shows through a live skin. and above all a rested nervous system in short-that which brings him or her back ready and willing to work hard for another year.
 This may require mountains for one, seasRoIe for another, camp life for another, and so on.
 But one thing is certain, and that mountains of Arizona for a month or so can be made at far less cost than thirty days at any California resort.

Popular Election
 Fails This Session

Washington, Aug. 12-There is to be no further action on the direct cleo tion of senators at this sesson of con- gress. The house and senate confer ence committee failed to agree upon the Bristow amendment which extends federal authority over state elections. The house refused to yield on that. The subject will be considered at the next session of congress.
 An agreement on the campaign publicity bill was reached to-day by the senate house conference. Tho measure as agreed to will be practic- ally the same that was adopted by the senate which, amended the house bill by providing for publicity in primary as we'll as in other elections.
 The limitation for campaign ex- penses is $5,OOO for congressman and $10,000 for senators.

Siphon Progress
,From Yuma Fxaminer)

Talking to a workman on the siphon today the Examiner was pleased to learn that the work on the great tur nel under the river is progressing in fine shape.
 To-day the upper half of the tunnel is in to a depth of 30 feet. The men are working in three shifts and the work is being done in a novel and interesting manner
 The upper half of the tunnel is now being worked on and the concrete forms for some of this are already poured.
 The bottoms of this arch rest on the ground floor of the half of the tunnel
 After this hardens sufficiently chan nels will be dug down to the bottom floor of the tunnel. In this channels immense jack screws will be placed to support the roof or top arch.
 Then the spaces between the jacks will be dug away and the bottom half of the concrete poured between the jacks.
 When this hardens sufficiently to support the roof, the jacks will be talk en out and the spaces the jacks occu- pied filled in with the concrete.
 This operation is repeated time aft CT time until the great tunnel is con- plete.
 There is also said to be much riv- airy among the shift bosses as to who can accomplish the most work and things are certainly beginning to look good for the valley farmers and the whole of Yuma as we'll.

Within another month the many vacationists who have left Yuma dur ing the past three months will be coming home again. Some of them will return badly bent financially.
 Others will return with the firm conviction that they might have had better time on less money some where else.
 Still others vii! wish they had stayed at home altogether.
 It is always thus with any summer vacation.
 The opportunity for the vacation having been arranged, there always arises the question of where to go.
 To the man or family with unlimit- ed means the question presents few difficulties; likewise with those who have had experience and know what they most enjoy, a profitable answer may present itself; but to the great majority of others who have neither experience nor a bottomless purse the question is not so simple. On every hand the call of the California beach resort is heard, but they all require money and much of it.
 It is no small tragedy when mothe.' works herself almost into the hospital getting the girls clothes ready for the vacation, and then chaperones them for a miserable thirty days at a much talked of seaside hotel, while father gives up his vacation in order that the trip may be financed.

Suspicion Justified

Saturday night the talk fell on peo- pie hunting on the lands of farmers, and Architect R. B. Young told the fol lowing:
 In a country court a man was up before the justice of the peace and charged with shooting a number of pigeons the property of farmer. Tn giving his testimony the farmer was so careful that he even seemed nerv- ous, and the attorney for the defense sought to frighten him.
 "Now," the attorney remarked, "are you prepared to swear on oath that this man shot your pigeons?"
 q didn't say he did shoot them," re- piled the farmer.
 "Ah, now we are getting to it. What did you say and what made you sus- pect this man?"
 "Well, firstly, I caught him on my land with a gun; secondly, heard a gun go off several times; thirdly, | saw some pigeons in his pocket, and and didn't suppose them pigeons flew in there and committed suicide"

Postal Banks of Arizona

Arizona is a star performer in the list of the new postal banks establish ed oyer the country. Globe and Bis bee rank among the leaders in the first and second lists of banks estab- lished.
 On July 1, when the new fiscal year opened, in the six postal savings bankS of Arizona there were $50 depositors, who had in the postal banks, $55,S03, or about $1OO.55 per man. The depart ment recently gave out the statement that at the close of the fiscal year, June 31, there were 11,750 open ac- counts in the banks that were open at that time, and that the average amount of each depositor was $57. 57.
 From this it will be seen that the Arizona depositors in the govern ment's banks average almost twice as much as the postal bank depositors over the whole country. Arizona is by Yuma, Globe, Bisbee, Clifton, Douglas and Prescott, estab- Iished previous to July 1, and with Flagstaff, Phoenix and Tucson, au- during July and open for bus mess during the present month.

Many Improvements
 In Telephone Service
(From the Daily EAaminer)

 ? The Arizona Telephone and Tele graph company will shortly under take a number of important improve ments in the various parts of the territory in which their wires are working. The company has decided to build as starter, copper long distance circuit from Phoenix to Hay den, and then a continuance tc WiIr kelman.
 The line from Phoenix to Prescott has been shortened by forty-five or forty-seven miles, and will. be equip ped with Popin coils, so that com mercial relations can be established with Jerome, Los Angeles and Fl Pa so. Also a lang distance copper circuit will be run from Prescott to Ash Fork, and will then be continued on east.
 Another line will be constructed from Yuma to Bard, running on the California side of the river.
 The long distance board at the Maricopa station has arrived and has been installed.
 Telephone experts have come from S. veral of the large cities in the mid dle west and after inspecting the lines in Tucson, Phoenix and Yuma say that they are best long distance lines they know of anywhere ln the country.
