ENDORSE A BOND
 ISSUE FOR ROADS
(From Friday's Daiiy.}

After hearing a recital by Secre-
 tary Fraser of the work being done
 by Apache and Navajo counties n
 raising funds for good roads, the
 Chamber of Commerce went on re-
 cord last evening as favoring an issue of bonds of S5,000,000 or more
 for the purpose of connecting the county seats of Arizona with a sys- tenn of highways, and a resolution was passed requesting Yavapai's re- presentatives in the legislature to support such a measure. Such action has already been taken by the com mercial organizations of Bisbee and Tucson; and petitions by citizens are to be presented to the legisla ture
 Various te1egrams that had been sent to Senator Ashurst to save Fort Whipple were read, together with bis reply stating that he had uOilO NliN ONSl lAldl llC NOulh- alizing that the barracks would not become again a garrison post, Dr. Finn held out hope that the gov ernment might be influenced to use the quarters as navy sanatorium, and pointed out reasons why the suggestion was feasible. The matter was referred to Secretary Fraser to open up a correspondence that would develop the proper procedure for ac- complaining that object
 F. L. Haworth of the dry farming committee reported that that com mittee had instituted an investiga- ton to ascertain the possibilities of using dry farm products for for age purposes, the idea being to gath CT data to establish the fact that cattle could be fattened from the forage crops from cheap lands, at less expense than from the forage from the high priced lands of the Salt River Valley.
 The Chamber approved of the building of a road from Turkey Creek to the Kay mine and will thus express itself in a resolution to be sent to the supervisors, although | Supervisor Heap stated that no | funds were available this year for that purpose.

PLAN FLOATING PALACE
 FOR NEW YORK HARBOR

NEW YORK, Feb. 11-A huge
 art building and public auditorium
 to float in the waters of New York
 harbor Is the next wonder which
 IS in store for New York, if the plans are carried out which have met with remarkable approval here during the exhibition of the Archi- tectural League
 On a huge circular raft or scow of concrete the designer would er- ect a building of circular form, with graceful Doric colums of concrete and steel, and inside he would have besides ample space for art exhib- itions and schools of arts and crafts, an auditorinm which would outclass anything now standing in this country.
 800
 Its seating capacity would be 5000 persons and provision would be made to use it for public meet ings, great concerts of operatic per fOrmances. By a system of screens, the size of the auditorium would be capable of being reduced to suit a theatrical performance. Performan- ces would be given by municipal actors, according to the designers plan, and prices would be kept at the lowest possible level.
 Especial emphasis would be laid, however, upon the use of the build ing for artistic purposes, particul- arly as a school of the arts and the higher crafts. By floating in the harbor it would save entirely the cost of land, and would be moored where most convenient. Engineers say, according to the de- signer, that such a structure is en- tirely feasible. Watertight compart- ments in the "hull' would provide protection against possible leaks. Tn view of the designers plan to an chor his floating art palace off the Battery, 1t is interesting to remem- Der that for years New Yorks great and concert hall was a circular structure sur rounded by the waters of the har- Garden, an old fort with twenty foot stone walls, which s now surrounded by the made and of Battery Park and used for he aquarium.

 Resolved: That believing, that all "just governments spring from the consent of the governed" and that the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands, who live in a different cli- mate and under radically different natural conditions cannot assimilate and become homogeneous with the people of the United States of Am erica, as they are practically a diff ferent race, having wholly different traditions, customs, hopes, ambit- ions, habits and language, and that it would be unjust to them and stigma upon the United States to force upon them a government in which they had no voice in creating and to which they never have given loyal adhesion, the legislative re- presentatives of the State of Ari- zona in legislature assembled:
 Respectfully petition the Con Af ELa TT,,.NoI soon as practical, enact a law en- abling the inhabitants of the Philip pine Islands to establish an indepen- dent Republican government. upon such conditions as Congress may prescribe in the interest of the peo- pie of the Philippine Islands and of the people of the United States that the Philippines may speedily take the place amongst the free and sister Republics of the earth to which they are justly en- titled.
 Resolved: That our representa- tives in the Senate and House of | Representatives at Washington be in structed to do their utmost to for ward such legislation: and be it further
 Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be forthwith transmitted oy the secretary of the Senate to the president of the Senate of the United States and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States, and copy hereof sent to ,ach member of Congress from the State of Arizona"

"POTHOLES" ARE TO BE
 WORKED BY LACLARE
From Thursdays Daily1

On the Hassayampa river, near the old Mescal millsite, very interest ing placer mining problem is about ready to be solved, in which H. H. LaClare will endeavor to work two large pot holes" that lie in that stream, and which are of extensive proportions
 The initial work consists i'll dam ming the river, to conserve the flow of water for sluicing purposes later, and to permit of the two holes being drained by pumps that the auriferous soil may be handled expeditiously An engine and boiler have been placed on the ground, and a force of five men Is employed. The cleaning out of the holes is now under head way, one of which is eighty feet long by seventy-6ve feet wide, while the other is 105 feet long by 70 feet wide, both having a depth of about twenty-five feet to bedrock. These claims have been secured from Jasp- CT Phillips under a bond, and the supposition prevails that certain zones are the storage centers of val uable placer deposits, neither having been opened to bedrock in all the years the river has been worked by placer miners. To encourage the present plan of operations, but little dust has been taken below that point by miners, and the theory that the gold has been stored at the place where these two pot holes exist, stimulates Mir. LaClare to go ahead and endeavor to solve the problem. This is the greatest placer mining proposition that has as yet been no ticeable in that section, although the Hassayampa has been worked in sections for a length of over one hundred miles for the past fifty years.

 THE RUMOR
Interested Parties Re- fuse to Confirm Or
 Make Denial
(From Saturdays Daily

That important developments have taken place at the we'll of the Verde Valley Oil Company during the past few days in solving the old question, is believed from reports in circula- ton, and advices received yesterday from that point.

CATTLE MARKET
 TENDENCY IS UPWARD

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
 Feb. 10.-There was a we'll defined improvement in the cattle market last week, though actual advances were not great, butcher grades do- ing about the best with a IS to 30 cent raise, stockers and feeders gain ing IS to 25 cents, and stopping at the end of the week at abouL the highest level of the winter season.
 Beef steers were uneven, but the feeling improved, and closing prices were little stronger than in the previous week The moderate rcn of 5000 head today confirmed the opin- ion that careless liquidation is about over for this winter, and the result of the light supply was an advance of strong to 10 higher prices cover ing everything. The majority of the cattle remaining in feed lots are in the hands of professional feeders, who are capable of nursing the mar ket along, and getting the most out of 1t. Farm betterment workers sub init that the great need of the five stock interests is to devise some system of marketing whereby the market supply will be regulated in much the same manner that the out go of the dressed product is regulat- ed by the killers. The marketing of cattle from now on will be an expo sition of this idea, balance of the winter, 1t is believed.
 Top native beef steers sold at S86O today, top quarantines T.55, and some beet sugar Coloradoes brought s7.6O. and $500 here last Thursday Stock steers range from 5000 to S5O, and feeders from s7.OO to %.6O.
 Hogs arrived in small numbers to- lay, 5000 head, but the fact that Chi ago had too many prevented more han a Scent rise here. The top vas S85, bulk of sales s7.65 to a.S0, and the general trend of the market is distinctly upward
 Sheep and lambs made good gains ast week and aged muttons are trong today, lambs weak Ewes S5.40 to $50 today, wethers worth up to 5000, yearlings S.50, | ambs at SS.25 to SS55 today. Deal ITS are not very sure, but believe the resent range we'll established.

PHOENIX, Feb. 13.-The lower branch of the Legislature took cog nizance that yesterday was Lincoln's Birthday, and brief remarks were made by several members. Repre- sentative Captain Kelton of Cochise County, rose in his seat immediate ly after the convening of the House for the day, and asked that his col league Representative Duncan read to the House, Lincoln's Speech at Gettysburg" This was done and loudly applauded, and Captain Kel- ton, then took occasion to explain to the House that even though he had been a member of the Army of the South, he held the highest respect and cherished the greatest love for rhe martyred president. Represen- tative Wren, of Yavapai County spoke briefly as did also Represen- tative Barker, of Pinal County; who also touched on the admiration of southern men for Lincoln; and re- cited the circumstances of a personal incident when he, as a boy, at his home in Louisiana, heard of the as- sassination.

 Wants School Lands Kept. Representative Graham of Cochise County has re-introduced in the House, the bill which was so bitter ly fought at the last session provid- ing for the submission of an amend ment to the Constitution to the vot- CTS of the state for no sale of school lands.
 No Anti-Lobbying Law.
 It seems probable that there will be no enactment of law to pro hibit lobbying at the present session of the Legislature, although, strict rules vii be adopted by both houses, concerning lobby agents and the re- gulation of their appearance before legislative committees.
 Representative Irvine, of Maricopa County, who introduced the Anti Lobby Bill in the House, declared after the bill had been defeated, in a meeting of the committee of the whole, that he would make no furth- CT effort for legislation along this line before the legislature. He said. however, that in all probability, a law would be initiated and submitted to the people, regulating lobbying to be voted on at the next general election.
 Land Commission Denies.
 The sensation which came with discussion of the work out lined by the first Legislature for the State Land Commission, elicited statement from the chairman of the Land Commission, that to date 30,- 900 acres of land had been selected by the commission, and that there IS no foundation for the charges that the selections of land made by the commission are being taken over by land grabbers for as soon as the state filed on a piece of land it is closed to scrip entry. He also says the report of the land commission will be ready for transmission to the legislature probably this week
 The situation however, has arous- ed so much discussion that in all probability an effort will be made to cut down the land commissions ac- tivities as 1t is said by several of the leaders that the selection of pub lie lands was presumably to occupy the time Of the land commission when that board was created, and that such had not been done by the commission, their time being largely devoted to the appraisal of improve ments now located on school land |

 PHOENIX, Feb. Ex-Governor Hunt has issued requisition papers which will be forwarded to the De partment of State at Washington asking for the return from the Re public of Mexico to the authorities at Nogales, Arizona, of Augustine Moncada, Matilde Perez and Paul Casanova. The quartet were con victed in Santa Cruz County of burglary in the second degree and while held pending their transporta- tion to the State Prison, escaped from the county jail and fed into Mexico They are now under arrest at Nogales, Sonora. Although, but two thousand feet from the jail from which they escaped, the procedure to secure their return to this coun- try will have to occupy attention ot the State Department of this country at Washington, the Minister from Mexico in Washington, the Depart ment of Justice at the City of Mexi- co and finally the Governor of So- nora, before their extradition can be accomplished.
 State Board of Parole.
 Senator Hughes has introduced in the Senate bill, which if enacted into law, will create State Board of Commissioners of Parole, whose duties will be to pass on applications for pardon or. parole of state pris- oners. The bill of the Pima county senator provides that the board shall consist of the Governor and three citizen members to be appointed by the Governor, with the further pro- vision that one member of the board shall be a woman.
 Report Comes in Box.
 Samuel Pattee, the Code Commis sioner has submitted a partial report of his work to the State Senate. His report is probably the most volum- inous which has ever been made by state officer He shipped it to Phoenix from his office at Tucson in four dry goods boxes and that part of his report already transmit ted was box No. 1, and includes also an outline of what the balance of his report would contain.
 Find Fault With Law.
 That the mine lien law enacted at the last session of the Legislature and approved by the people of the state at the recent referendum cleo ton is unsatisfactory to some of the residents of the state was evidenced by a petition of protest received in the Senate this morning signed by one hundred Pima County mining | claim owners. The amendment to the i law which was urged was concern ing the posting of notices in the law as it at present exists.

 A bill has been introduced in the State Senate by one of the Cochise county members which deals with school lands and the leasing thereof Under the terms of the bill the leas- ing of all public land is placed in the hands of the county Boards of Supervisors for the land located in the county of their jurisdiction. Concerning the improvements of school lands now under lease in the event of release of the land the former occupant places a valuation on his improvements himself, but as the bill provides for a taxation of these improvements at the amount he designates, it is presumed by the author of the bill that the valuation returned will be a fair one
