WHILE the legislature is in ses sion it would lock like a square deal to see law passed insisting that butter be put up in pound packages. As it is at present each carton weighs exactly IA ounces including carton, wrapper and other advertising matter, which means the consumer pays 45 cents for 12 ounces of butter. We know of no ordinance or statute that covers this matter, and with the cost of
 living the way it is, it is high time that the consumer got a square deal in the matter If weights at least.- s. w. Stockman.

THE Tucson Citizen, in one col umn, makes protest against the business men of that town sending their money out of town for their printing, and in another column n says: "The prompt and reliable mail order service rendered by most Tucson merchants makes it easy for those living in outside towns to realize the splendid savings" Here is consistency for you. It is all right for outside towns to spend their money with Tucson merchant te and freeze the home merchants out, but it ia all wrong for the Tucson business men to spend any money outside the corporate limits.

 Gentlemen:- This will inform you that 1 have made complete and thorough audit of the records of tb;s oonptx, fro,,o noo lot 1Q10 to Dec. 1st, 1911. As a result of my examination, find all records in good shape save minor clerical er- TOTS which have been adjusted. Act ing on the privilege of making sug- gestions, I make the following: Road orders-I have found quite number of orders that have been made with lead pencil, (not in- delible) and in several instances the amount not written in the body of the order Would suggest that the road superintendent be in structed to use ink or an indelible pencil in making out these orders. When deductions have been made from the road employees for board. etc no record of same appears on the order. Would suggest that this he shown on the back of same, 90 that the amount to be paid can be verified I would also suggest that the road superintendent be required to render monthly report of the payroll to the treasurer or clerk of tbe. board, so that his expenditures may be checked up against orders issued by him.

SURGERY FREES THE
 OUTLAW, BLACK BART"

Marquette, Mich, Mar 12-As a re- suit of a surgical operation, which completely changed the character of aymond Holzhay, known as Black Bart" who has been a convict in the state penitentiary here for more than twenty-three years, he will be -releas- ed on parole in November 1913. Holz- hay was sentenced for life for mur- dering a banker.
 When Holzhay was brought here he possessed a black record as a stage coach and train robber, but since he was operated on he has been a model prisoner and has become a student He is the last of 1000 convicts who were in the penitentiary when he was brought here.
 His parole in November, 1913, is made possible as a result of legisla- tion enacted at Lansing last winter, which extends the benefits of the par ole law to convicts undergoing life sentence.
 Holzhay is 45 years old

TELEGRAPH OFFICE
 FOR CAPITOL BUILDING
WESTERN UNION WILL INSTALL BRANCH FOR THE USE OF THE LEGISLATORS.

Phoenix, Ariz., Mar. 12.-That a regularly equipped Western Union tel egraph office will be established in the Capitol building within the next few days, maintained thoughout the sitting of the legislature and perhaps made a permanent feature, is the an nouncement made by Hugh McPhee, district commercial superintendent, and l.. Messinger, district plant su- perintendent of the Western Union, who are here from Los Angeles today. With the coming of statehood the tel egraph company officials realized that the unusual amount of business at the Capitol during the forthcoming ses- sions of the legislature.
 As the legislature will convene in about eight days, the work of install ing an office at the Capitol must of necessity be undertaken at once. And first of all it was necessary to secure permission from the state officials. That it would be a great convenience for the lawmakers to have telegraph facilities at hand in the building in which their work was being done was immediately recognized and the prop osition was approved without much discussion.
 While the installation of this office is intended as feature to be con- tinued only through the sitting of the first state legislature, it is also con- tended that it might be possible to eff feet some arrangement whereby it might be made permanent. It was at first thought it might be possible to secure the services of a stenographer and operator, who could divide his or her time between taking dictation or doing other clerical work and sending messages. This project is being look ed into by the visiting officials.
 It is also a tour of inspection for these Los Angeles officials. They have been given their first view of the handsome new offices of the West ern Union in this city and have eX- pressed themselves as we'll pleased with what has been accomplished The new counters recently arrived and the interior of the office today presents an up to date appearance such as one might expect in a city much larger than Phoenix

CHARLEY MEADOWS
 RAISE SWEET POTATOES

Charley Meadows, the versatile gen. jus of First sreet, brought to town last night, a sack of the finest sweet potatoes ever seen in Yuma, some of them weiging as much as and z pounds each. They were part of the crop harvested from an acre which Charley devoted to trial crop, and he stated last evening to the Examiner that he expected to harvest about 2,000 pounds of fine sweet po- tatoes from this one acre.
 AS sweet potatoes are worth about DC pound or will be in the near fu- ture, owing to rains in California, this would make a most profitable crop for the Yuma Valley farmers to consider and with a decent freight rate out of Yuma, should make one of the most profitable crops to be raised here as the sweet potatoes grown here, are not only very prolific, but have a flavor and sweetness not to be found anywhere else.
 Charley says that the present crop will be laid away for seed, and that he expects to plant about 20 acres.
