LEGISLATURE MAY
 CONVENE IN MARCH

AIlZOud HISC IeR1SldIuIe Will consist of 19 Senators and 35 representatives. There are four republican senators, 16 demo cratic senators, five republican representatives; 30 democratic representatives.
 The counties that have elected solid democratic delegations to the state legislature are Mar icopa, two senators, six rep resentatives; Cochise, two sen ators, seven representatives; Gila. two senators, three represent atives; Yuma. one senator, two representative; Graham one sen ator, two representative; Green lee. one senator, two representa- tives; Mohave, one senator, one representative; San a Cruz, one senator, one rep resentative.
 Only two counties send sohd republican delegations to the leg islature-Apache, one senator. one representative; Coconlno, one senator, one representative YavapaIS two senators are democratic, one of her four representatives is republican. Navajo's senator is a republican,; her representative is a democrat. Pima's two senators are demo- cratic; two of her three repre- sentatives are republicans. Pinal sends a republican senator and a representative who is a demo- crat.
 Indications are that the first legislature will not convene be fore March 1. Election ordinance No. ? provides that the votes at Tuesdays election shall be can vassed on the third Monday af- ter the election. That is January l. The canvassing board is com posed of Secretary Young, Gov ernor Sloan and Judge Kent Secretary Young says the can vass of the votes is a two weeks job.
 So the certified returns will not be forwarded to President Taft until January 15. They will go forward by registered mail. President Taft will issue his proclamation about Febru- ary 1. The constitution pro- vides that the legislature shall convene not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after Arizona Is admitted to state hood. It would seem that it could not convene before March l.
 Because of the volume of busi- ness to be transacted by the leg islature, it's first session, and the late date at which 1t will con- vene, there Is general belief that there may be some delay Tn getting the machinery of state in smooth working order. Some ot the leglslators-elect suggested that the senators and ,represen- tatives hold a sort of prelimi- nary caucus and frame those bills which must be passed at the first session.
 The caucus plan, it is pointed out, would obviate any delay and would enable the lawmak- CTS to devote due deliberation and study to the essential legis lation provided for in the con- stItution. Especially important 1t is said, is the enactment of a statewide primary law. The party conventions will meet early in the spring and Arizona must hold an election for dele gates to these conventions B1sbee Review.

TIMBER TRACT
 WILL BE SOLD

body of timber on the Tahoe. National Forest, in California, with an offer of terms wkich in- augurate an important depart ure from the policy of the past.
 About 73 million board feet of saw timber is offered for sale. with 1O-year period for the re- moval of the timber. The Nat iOnal Forests contain a vast sup ply of merchantable timber, esti- mated at the equivalent of over 500 billion feet board measure, a great part of which IS ripe for the ax or already overmature. In many cases, however, the pur- chaser has to make a very heavy initial investment in transpor- tation facilities. To have this pay, he must be able to figure o1 a large operation, requiring a number of years to carry through.
 The timber sale policy ot the Forest Service recognizes that, in view of the general upward tendency of stumpage prices, long contracts based on present prices would be strong incen- tive to speculation. and might turn out to be highly disadvant- ageous to the public. To pro- tect the public, as consumers, against monopoly prices and al- so against exhaustion of local supplies through overcutttng, sales of timber are carefully pro- portioned to the existing supply and demand, and sales to small purchasers, who are vastly in the majority are encouraged.
 To protect the public, as owners, against sales as that may prove to be too low price. 1t has been the policy in the past to allow no operations extending over more than five years. A plan has, however, now been devised for allowing longer operations,
 with a periodic revision of the stumpage rates.
 At the end of the first five years of the Tahoe sale the price to be paid for the timber cut III the fel- lowing five years will be deter. mined by the prices of lumber which have ruled in the locality during the preceding year. Since it is recognized that present stumpage prices are rather high in proportion to present lumber prices, if lumber prices do not show an increase above $2 per thousand, three-fourths of the amount of the increase may be added to the stumpage price.
 The Tahoe sale will call for the construction of 20 mile of rail road, which will be common carrier and therefore decidedly beneficial to the community, an other reason for making the sale which IS taken into account. A minimum price or $2.5O per thousand feet for yellow pine, the amount of which is estimat- ed at 52 million feet, and also for sugar pine, and of $1 per thousand feet for all other spec les, is specified in the advertise ment. The interest which has been shown by lumbermen in this sale leads the Forest officers tO believe that one or more bid, will undoubtedly be received
 The usual conditions of cutting National Forest timber, to in- sure a renewal of the forest an close utilization of what IS cut, will be incorporated in the con tract of sale.
 That the National Forest tim. Der is increasing demand is evi denced by the fact that over S3J feet were sold during tn. year which ended on Juue 30, 1911, as against less than 575 feet in the previous year. <
 The current year is likely to show still higher total. a

gives his experience: The peas. aft

fowls In scratching pens, where they
were scratched oyer and searched for
during the day. After few days the
egg supply was vfsibly increased and
within a few weeks almost doubled

IKE the small branches and leaves,

not q single hen showed the least

which cowpeas may be raised, Il
seems that everyone should give them
