URGES GIRLS TO GET MEN
Take Advantage Of Leap Year, Says
Mrs. Barney-H emmiek.

Mrs. Barney-Hemmick of Washing
ton, who last year at the age of sixty
became the bride Of Christian Hem
mick, a clubman, aged twenty-six, de-
clared that the girls of today are too
slow and fail to take advantage of
leap year.
Leap year is a great institution
she said. II wish it could be arranged
some way so it could come every year.
Girls should be more forward and pro-
gressive. Why should they not change
from the defensive to the aggressive:
Yes, girls, take advantage of your leap
year opportunities and pray fol lear
veal to come often"

J. R. Henderson Says Agri. culture and Horticulture Exhibits Should Be

To attend 10 matters connected with the State Fair commission, of which he is a member, ]. R Tender son left yesterday for Phoenix. This annual event is now but three months away and there is much 10 be done In that short intervening space.
 Speaking of the next fair before leaving Mir Henderson stated that it would easily be far far better than ever before in that there are more funds available to make it so and the additional sum of $20,O00 will en- able many increases and improve ments. Horse racing has always been one of the important attractions at Phoenix each falI and now that the capitol city of the Forty-eighth state is on tf @ newly organized trotting cir cult winch embraces the western and Pacific coast states there is assured en attendance of horses of even high CT class lhan iii the past. some coming from sven as far as British Columbia.
 Mir. Henderson is especially anX- ious that Cochise county shall be well represented in exhibits and is urging an activity in preparation from this time on. There is a standing exhibit from the larger mines of the county which was gathered and installed sev- eral years ago. but this should be enlarged and improved, is his belief Minerals are the greatest resource of this county now as they have been for years and are likely to remain for years to come despite the growth Of agricultural pursuits and because of this pre-eminenCe in mines the mineral exhibit should be still further enlarged. improved and made thor oughly representative.
 For years COchise county was i'm portant in the cattle industry and de- spite the fact that much of what was formerly range is now taken up by homesteaders and this work Of set tlement is progressing with increased rapidity. stock raising is still import ant and the fair commission believes should be well represented in exhibits
 As to agricultural resources, the county is as vet but little known although in the past few years there have been exhibited at Phoenix prod ucts that would have been a credit to any section of the state. despite the fact that here there is no great irri- gatiOn project such as is to be found in the Salt River valley, that here water must be sought diligently and

decide and to recommend to the board of supervisors of this county and the state engineer, is the route that will be pursued by the state highway after it reaches Lowell from Douglas. whether it shall run through this city over the newly oiled road to the easterly limits and the soon to be oiled Naco road in the city limits, or whether it shall turn of from Low ell and make the run up into this city practically a side trip.
 The proposed route over the divide will have the support Of Tombstone, St. David and Benson as well as this city, but Douglas appears to be in favor of the route as planned by former Territorial Engineer Girand, which goes via Hereford, as now tra- versed by the road on the Borderland Map and takes in no important
 towns after leaving here until 1t ! reaches Tucson.

SEN. ROBERTS WOULD Il REFER MINE LIEN
 LAW ID PEOPLE
Cochise Representative Be lieves Measure Would Halt Development
 of Properties

When Senator c. N. Roberts of Dos
 Cabezas was in the city Saturday, he called upon a number of prominent democrats in the district to learn
 their views on the miners lien law, which was passed by majority vote of one in the last legislature. It has
 beeu agreed by the leaders of the faction that opposed the passage of the law that they shall ask to have
 it referred to the people on a refer endum petition. It will be the first ref
 erendum petition initiated under the
 new law.
 A peculiar feature of the fight on the bill was that the two Cochise county senators were opposed to each
 other on it. It was the vote of Sen
 ator Sims that caused it to become
 a law and Roberts only lost his fight
 against the bill by one vote-the vote
 of Senator sims. If the law is re- ferred to the people, Sims and Rob erts, who fought together on many propositions in the state senate, will be found fighting on opposite sides. Each knows the others view of the matter and they are perfectly frank about their difference of opinion. While Roberts opposed the passage
 of the bill, he says that he is willing that the people shall decide who was right on the bill and to that end will endeavor to have the law referred io the people for q vote.
 'I believe that the law would have tendency to discourage prospecting ! and leasing" said Senator Roberts, ] Under the terms of the law the own CT of a mine which is leased is made [ 10 guarantee all supply and labor bills made by the leaser and l believe this | would cause claim owners to do away with leasing all together, sacrificing | ;he honest leaser in a wholesale meas ure of cutting all leaseTs off That Is | the gist Of the Dos CabeEas mans op i position to the law.
 The law 's merely 8 larger appli' cation of the labor lien law, said ! Senator Sims. Tt may put a stop to | a certain class of leasing, by whicl
 I mean wiId-atting, and if it does i this it will be a success for it will
 remedy a condition that is incidental ! Iy aimed at. That is something that we fortunately have little of in this mining district, but mining districts
 in the northern part of the state arc not so fortunate. have been tolt that laborers have been defrauded ou of their wages in many instances be cause the mine or claim that was op erated by the lessee was mortgage' for more than it was worth. so tha when the prospect was worked ou the laborers had nothing to attach
 Under the miners lien law, the liel
 takes precedence over mortgage.
 The author of the law is Represen
 tative Graham of Lowell and he VII
 undoubtedly be 8 leader in the figh
 on the referendum vote.
