THE CANVASS COMPLETED.
Statehood Drawing Nearer. pEoclsma-
 ton Expected by February 18th.

vassing board at Phoenix complet- ed the canvass of the returns from the state election on the twelfth of December, and on Tuesday work was begun upon tabulation of the results shown, which the returning board will certify up to the govern or. From that certihcation the chief executive of the Territory makes up his own certificate to the President, upon which latter will be based the presidential proclaim. ation of statehood for Arizona Phoenix newspapers expressed a belief that the governors certificate will be completed today and made ready for forwarding to the White House. The statement is made that it will be sent by registered mail. In that event it will be about a week in reaching Washing ton and will be laid before the President about Monday of week after next. What time will elapse between that event and he presi. dential proclamation is a matter of conjecture. In the case of New Mexico the return from Santa Fe reached the President on a We'd nesday and the proclamation is sued on Saturday ofthe same week Should no longer time be taken with Arizona the proclamation will issued about Thursday, the 18th inst. Then the proclamation will have tO be transmitted to the Se- cretary of the Territory at Phoenix, and filed in the office of that of fcial. which formality being ac- complished the territorial officials will turn over the machinery of government to the state officers elected in December. It is stated that the Supreme Court will quaI- lify first, and they will administer the oath of office to the state of rhOers.
 Probably one of the earliest acts of the first chief executive of the state will be to call together the Legislature, which must be not less than thirty days nor more than sixty after the procla amation of statehood. It is believed that Governor Hunt will call the legis- lative body 10 meet at the earliest date possible, which will be in March.
 The state officers elect will re- ceive certificates of election from the returning board, and that body will transmit to the boards of supervisors in the various counties the results ascertained in the can vaso with regard to election of county officers. From that the board of supervisors will issue the usual certifcation of election.
 Tn the matter of the election contest for the treasurership of Santa Cruz county, the returning board has made for use in Court, and certified to the same, return of the proceedings at Phoenix where that board ruled that it had no power to go behind the returns, and a return of the votes cast for county treasurer. Those certified returns will be in evidence, and upon them with testimony of cer. tain irregularities alleged in con. ducting the election a decree of the Court is asked to nullify the alIeg- ed election of R.

PRESERVING EGGS.

Now that the season of cheaper
eggs is at hand there may be some
readers who will want to preserve
some for fall and winter use. One of
the best methods of good many that
have been tried is by. the use of the
water glass solution. or sodium silicate.
This chemical costs about 30 cents a
quart and can be got atmost any drug
store. This should be thoroughly mix
ed with water that has been boiled and
cooled at the rate of quart of the wa
ter glass to nine quarts of water. The
best receptacle to use is an earthen-
ware vessel, which should be scalded
out before being used. Only clean.
fresh and uncracked eggs should be
put down. The jar containing the
eggs should be put in cool place
and covered with sacking or board
cover to prevent evaporation of the
solution. Experience shows that eggs
laid in April and May will keep longer
than those secured in other months.

The Fly CROP.

While 1t is impossible to forecast the
weather or tell just how large the diff.
ferent crops will be, there need be no
guesswork on the question of flies. It
is safe to take it for granted that there
will be the usual number of the dirty
pests. 1t is true there are not as many
of them about right now as there will
be in eight weeks. but it is none too
early to begin waging vigorous cam
align against them. The fight against
them should be waged along two gen.
eral lines-frst, reducing their breed
ing places to a minimum. and. next. to
destroy them with traps and poison as
soon as they put in an appearance.
The several prepared hy dopes are ex-
cellent. but care should be taken to see
that they are kept out Of the reach Of
little children. Another dope that 10
not harmful to the human is made by
adding couple Of tablespoonfuls Of
formalin to pint Of water and placing
this in shallow dishes where the flies
gather. A little sugar and few drops
Of vinegar will serve to increase its
dra wing power. The most effective
trap is made by inserting cone made
Of wire screen with small hole in
the tip In the bottom Of barrel or
smaller receptacle with wire sides,
made fly tight. This should be put
where the flies gather. raised three or
four inches on supports and a dish Of
some sweet stun placed beneath to
more effectively draw the hies. They
will creep up this cone into the trap.
and the more flies there are trapped
the more win want to get into it.
