GETTING ACQUAINTED! :!
WITH The VOTERS
Lewis G.. spooner, Candidate for
Governor, Addresses Audience at
Fay Opera Last Evening.

Hon. Lewis c. Spooner, OF Nor
ris, one Of the several candidates for
the republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation, was a Virginia visitor yes-
terday, becoming acquainted with a
number of our citizens, and last
evening addressed gathering at
the Fay, Opera, where his pleasing
personality left an impression. on
the minds of his hearers and where
his straightforward talk could not
but tend to make him friends who
will be found enlisted under his
banner at the coming primaries.
Mr.. Spooner spoke briefly of tax
alton matters, but in consideration
of the fact that this section of the
rich state of Minnesota is blessed
with an abundance of taxable value
which leaves the burden upon the
individual taxpayer a light one in
comparison to burden as carried by
less favored communities, he did
not enter into statistical explana-
tions aside from citing the fact
that the past year the expense of
running the state machinery was
upwards of $11,00O,000 in compari-
son to a trifle over $5,00O,OOO elev-
en- years ago, and placed himself on
record as favorable to a pruning of
state expenses, that the burden
might fall the lighter upon all.
He recited briefly his record in
the state legislature, where he has
been recognized as valued men,
ber of the house since first entering
the political field in 1907. Espe-
cially did he refer to his record in
the past legislature, where his in
fluence was desired in the organi-
cation of the house and was thrown
to Speaker Dunn on the promise of
placing Chester A. Congdon, whom
he believed to be an ardent sup
porter of equitable reapportion-
ment, as chairman of the committee
on reapportionment, and in the
placing of Robert c. Dunn as chair
man of the tax committee of the
house.
In speaking OF the public domain
Mr.. Spooner stated his views on
this important question as favorable
to the formation of a new state bu-
.reau to have charge Of the public
domain, with separate bureaus
amenable thereto in charge of min
eral, timber and agricultural lands,
working independently of the state
auditor in the care and develop
ment of the natural resources of
the northern part of the state.
Mr.. Spooner closed with the
statement that he did not come to
make a political speech" so much
as to ct acquainted both with the
section and with the people, and
the tribute he paid Virginia as q
progressive city was worthy the at
tention of a larger audience of citi-
zens than were present. However,
he will likely return to the range
later in the campaign, and those
who did not avail themselves of
the opportunity of hearing him
last evening will likely be in at
tendance at that time.

CIRCULAR
Cooling Moth Control

To save the Arizona fruit grow
ers from unnecessary expense,
our State Entomologist DR.. A. w.
Morrill, of Phoenix, has kept in
close touch with the results Of
experimental work in the other
states. Before issuing his latest:
circular entitled, directions for
fighting the Cooling moth in
Arizona, he was in receipt of a.
report from Colorado This.
report indicated that one pound
of arsenate of lead to fifty gal
Ions of water would be as effect
ual as more: There fore, DIR.
Morrill, promptly advised us to use
the smaller amount.
But since we received the ad-.
vice to use only one pound Of
arsenate of lead or one half poun0
of arsenite of zinc to fifty gal
Ions of water, later report from
the Utah Agricultural Expert
ment Station indicates that it is
safer where the codIing moth
worms are abundant, as they
are here, to use two pounds of
arsenate of lead or one pound of
arsenite of zinc to fifty gallons
of water.
Therefore you are now advised,
for the present reason at least
to use the double strength spray
for prote citing your pears and
apples from the codling moth
worms. Don't forget to keep the
poison we'll stirred up from the
bottom where the bulk of the
poison is allowed to settle to the
bottom, the solution is too weak
for the effectual protection of
the fruit.
Don't kill the bees. If you spray
fresh blooms, the friendly bee
who helps to make your fruit set
on, will be killed. This will in
jure the orchardist and the bee
owners. DR.. morrill, advises you
not to spray until about nine
tenths of the petals have f l.
len from the blossoms.

10 club women who will travel
on the de luxe solid vestibule
Pullman special to represent New

Der Of the committee in charge of
the delegation, it was announ-
ced that the railroad officials
had promised to put on a special
vestibule baggage car for the
convenience of the fair passen-
gers.
This will give the women the
advantage of visiting their
trunks as many times a day as
they desire to change their
costumes. The car will be fitted
up with shelves and the hat
check system to carry as many
large hats as the passengers de-
sire to take with them. All the
delegates will carry from three
to six hats to be worn at the
functions arranged for their
stops in the large cities and at
many receptions to be given in
their honor during convention
week, in all there will be 400 or
500 hat boxes carried, and these

l2:l7 This Morning
Walked to Chair With Head
Erect, Eyes Straight
Forward and sat Down

Boston, Mass, May 21. -Clar-
ence V. T. Richeson, the former
Baptist preacher, condemned for
the murder of Miss Avis Linnell,
to whom he sent a bottle of pois-
on, telling her it was medicine to

law when he met death in the
electric chair in the Charlestown
prison at 1917 this morning.
The death-dealing current was
turned on at 1912 and Richeson
was pronounced dead at 1917.
Richeson walked to the electric
chair with his head erect, his
eyes straight ahead and sat down.
Then he closed his eyes and kept
them shut until the end came.
Richeson said.
God will take care of my soul,
and l pray for all. I forgive

Industrial School Site
Chosen
FORT GRANT FIRST
CHOICE
Salt River Valley Second

The Industrial School Commits
sion appointed by Governor Hunt
to examine and select site for
the Industrial School now located
at Benson has examined various
sites in practically all available
parts of the state and reported
to the legislature last Wednesday,
recommending Frot Grant, an
abandoned military reservation
where there are a number of
available substantial buildings,
more than 1000 acres of tillable
land with plenty of pure noun
tain water for domestic and irri-
cation purposes.
The old fort is at the foot OF
Mount Graham in Graham county
and 26 miles from Wilcox con-
nected by a fine automobile road
through the Sulphur Springs Val
ley. The post has obout As, 900
acres of valley and mountain land
surrounding it, splendid sanitary
conditions and an ideal spot for
school of this kind.
u. S. Senators Smith and Ash
urst and Congressman Hayden
have introduced bills in their re-
spective houses to have the Fort
Grant post turned over to the
state for an Industrial School site.
The bill is as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in
Congress Assembled:
That the Fort Grant Militarv
Reservation, in the State of Ari-
zona, be, and the same is hereby,
granted to said state for the pul-
pose Of establishing thereon and
maintaining an industrial school
for the reform and education ef
lawless and incorrigible children
of both sexes, and such ages anjI
under such conditions as the Leg
islature of said state shall pre-
scribe; and all such parts of said
reservation not adopted for ag1i-
cultural or other uses of said
school are hereby declared q
game reserve for the protection n
of deer and elk, and the United
States reserves all necessary jur-
isdiction for the protection Of
such as may be subsequently
placed thereon, as now provided
by law in cases of other game e.
serves of the United States.
In case such bill cannot be
put through Congress and it is
found to be impossible for the
state to get control of the aban-
doned post then the Commission
ers selected a fine school section
of $40 acres, seven miles north
of Phoenix, all in fine state of
cultivation, under the Roosevelt
Dam, and which tract fills every
of the legislative
act under which the commissiol
worked, viz: School land, per-
water for irrigation and
at least three miles from a city
or center of population.
