 Governor Hunt sent to the senate, but the same have not yet been read, nominations of Andrew Kimball of 1udICu0I, w hs DOWOA OA NhOo'' oAAN R. H. Forbes of Tucson to be members of the state board of horticulture.
 Billy Graham of Lowell, who by his straight from the shoulder meth ods of doing business has made him warm favorite in the lower house of the legislature has a pet measure up his sleeve for introduction later in the session which will be boon to the poor man and the man who tolls for his daily bread.
 The proposed bill is nothing more nor less than a weights and meas ures proposition, designed to throw the legal hooks into the gentleman who grows rich by putting his hand on the scales when the meat is being weighed, or by removing little flour from the sack after it has been weighed.

 No Crooks Allowed Aspiring gentlemen of the J. Rufus Wallingford type who look upon Ari- | zona with greedy eyes and itching | fingers have been headed off by a measure introduced in the legislature | which was drafted by Chairman Geary | and Secretary Cole of the corporation commission. The bill drafted by Geary and Cole | touches upon practically every line | of business in which one of crooked | tendencies might engage and throws | up the bars of protection about the |
