10th WEEK
CONSUMPTION OF ICE
About 5000 Pounds a Week
Required to Supply the
Local Demand.

Inc Ice consumption in Dun
can during the season averages
oyer 5000 pounds a week. The
season begins early in MAY and
lasts until the latter part of Oc-
tober. These figures have been
furnished by w. w. Wilkey, who
supplies the local demand.
The retail price does not fuc-
tuate, although in hot weather
frequently by the time the last
cakes are reached in a car it is
found that they have lost three
fourths of their original weight.
A cake weighs about 300 pounds
when placed in the car but there
are Instances where they have
weighed less than 200 after their
trip from Lordsburg. Mr.. Will
key did not go into the ice busi-
ness for profit, and does not make
any. He simply found it abso-
lutely necessary to have ice for
his own individual use, and
thought as long as he had to send
for his own ice he might as well
accommodate his neighbors.
hence the ice department in con
nection with his other business.
Mr.. Lanneau, cashier. of The
Bank OF Duncan. while express
ing his confidence in the future
of Duncan and the surrounding
section, recently took occasion to
express his belief that an electric
light plant that would manufac-
ture ice during the summer
months would be a profitable un-
dertaking in Duncan.
And in ! his connection Mr.. Phil
lips. the grocer, suggests that 4
grist mill might be a feasible
proposition. An alfalfa mill has
also been suggested, but the best
information of the Arizonian is
that alfalfa mills are not always
a success in communities where
they have been established,
though we have not been able to
learn the cause, of failure.
The Arizonian expects to col
lect as much reliable data as pos
sible on the opportunities which
our valley affords. both for the
expansion Of those industries al
ready established and the devel-
opment of new ones, and will en-
courage the discussion of all
topics of interest in this connec-
ton in its columns. If you have
an idea, write us about it.

To the Editor Of the AI1zonian:
Thinking that possibly ono Of
your readers, among whom [
number many friends, would like
to hear from this land of Patrio-
tas, Il take my pen in hand. /"
| am in good health, thank you,
excepting a slight trouhe with
my feet chilliness. It is strange
how a fellow will suffer tbat way
here where the sun shines clear
to the bottom of a well. and is
some hot.
I am located almost within the
shadow Of Abra mountain a spur
Of the Sierra Madre system. Il
is about two thousand feet in
height, extends for many miles
and is as stright and level as a
oad-bed, covered to the very top
with heavy growth of the
greatest of mountain trees and
other v2rdure.
Spread before me to the east.
north and south lies slightly a
.undulating valley of almost q
million acres; an archipelago of
jungle islands in a sea of praries;
"a magnificent panorama Of all
the shades of more than thirty
Varities of grass, from the g6lyet
gfeen of the velvet Grass ker
and softer than a velvet carpet,
i to the rank dark green of the
wild guina grass, growing higher
than a man can reachand dotted
with the varying sbadesof twenty
species Of forest trees, from the
pea-green Of the jarbon silIa to
the bright heavy green of the
ebony. 1t is indeed a mighty
sea Of green and it is always
green.
Several beautiful streams flow
through this valley, one Of them
quite near my house. There is
splendid fishing in them all.
In the colony located ia this
valley, Of which | have the for
tune to be a member, about fifty
farms have been opened up ard
improved by American farmers.
The soil is from five to twenty
five feet in depth, black, and as
rich as soil can be. Corn may
be planted in any month of The
year, and two crops can be raised
during the year. There cannot
be found a better cattle country
grass green the whole year and
plenty Of water Many of the
farms have bearing orange,
lemon, lime, grapefruit and plum

DUNCCN SCHOOLS OPEN
Good Enrolment Pros
poets Bright for a Good
School Year.

School opened Tuesday the
End, md the prospects are bright
for one of the most successful
school years that Duncan has
ever had.
The enrolment is as follows:

grade across City creek canyon CON
Meeting the capitol grounds with
seventh avenue. Conduits to take care
OF the water and a tunnel to permit the
passage of vehicles through the canyon
will be built through the grade at the
bottom Of the canyon.
The best idea of the amount of ma.
terial used in the construction of Utah s
state house is gained by looking over
the grounds northeast of the capitol.
Where there was formerly steep bluff
flush with the west wall of City creek
canyon there is now hole almost as big
as the capitol building and nearly level
with the bottom Of the canyon.
Unless something unforeseen should
arise the new building will be turned
over to the state Of Utah ahead of the
time specified in the contract, and the
travellers passing through Salt Lake to
and from the Pan-American exposition
in 1915 will have the pleasure of seeing
one Of the most beautiful and one of the
largest capitols in the United States,

Great Structure to Be Under
Roof Within a Few
Weeks.

TAT EATHER permitting, the main
NM part of the new Utah state
Wv capitol, standing eighty-fve
feet above ground and almost
quarter Of mile around its outside
walls, will be covered with n concrete
roof in less than another week and the
concrete work on the gigantic dome will
be half completed before the end of an
other month. Just as soon as the con-
crete roof has been finished the work
of placing the heavy steel beams which
Will support the big ssyligbts will be
begun and every effort Will be made to
have the entire building under roof be-
fore tho arrival of severe winter
weather.
The big dome, the most striking archi-
tectural feature of the new capitol, will
stand $50 feet above the roof Of the
main building. 1t rests on enormous
concrete pillars extending down to the
ground and entirely separate from the
other part Of the building. It's size
can be best estimated by the amount of
cement TO be used in its construction
and it's weight. Up to the present time
approximately 10000 barrels of cement
have been used in the construction Of
the capitol, and it is estimated that TO-
600 more will be required to finish the
dome, which will then weigh about 30
100000 pounds.
The spur from the Denver g. Rio
Grande railroad into Little Cottonwood
canyon, built to handle the granite for
the exterior walls Of the capitol, has
been completed and the first carload Of
granite is due in Salt Lake today. If
the granite arrives as scheduled, it is
expected that it will be in its place in
the walls of the capitol by tomorrow af-
ternoon. The granite is identical with
that used in the Mormon temple and
the assembly hall II will be sawed and
dressed ready for placing at Midvale.
The power house is all ready for busi-
ness, and as fast as the partitions and
walls of the capitol arc completed ra-
diators will be installed and the win
dows temporarily covered with canvas
so the workmen will not be exposed to
the elements during the winter,
Since the land lying east of the capi-
tol has been acquired by the state; it
has been planned to grade it down on
level with that part of the grounds
Immediately in front OF the building.
The dirt and other materials thus
acquired will be used in building a

OGDEN, Nov. l5.-Although the re-
suit was not other than they expected
the local officials Of the Fourth fores;
district are highly pleased with the de

Power & Light company, as announced

The Investigations aud preparation
or reports which resulted in the fling
of the suit by the government against
the Utah corporation were in charge OF
Assistant District Forester r. O. Hoyt,
OF the department of lands in the
Fourth district headquarters in this
city. He declared today that the de.
cisioo of the court is vindication OF
the position of the forest service from
the beginning. he said:
Since the original announcement
of the policy and regulations OF
the department Of Agriculture
with respect to the matter many
persons have received the impress
sion from press reports and ut
terances of nti-conservationists,
that the department g regulations
were not warranted by law, but
were rather the outgrowth of the
demands of ultra conservationists
who were seeking to enforce their
views to the disparagement of
vested rights. The fact Of the
matter is that the best lawyers
in the department went over the
matter very thoroughly before the
regulations were issued. and
reached the same conclusions of
law as now promulgated by the
circuit court Of appeals.
"The department took the posi-
tion that the law placed the mat
ter in the jurisdiction of the see
retary, and there was no particular
opposition until the secretary out
lined a policy of regulation, which
fact, and not the imposition of q
nominal charge, has been the bone
of contention AL along. While the
sum total of revenue that the gov
ernmcut will collect is In the ag-
gregate quite a sum. thirtv-tive per

ROAD IMPROVEMENT
MADE IN THE SOUTH
Millard and Beaver Counties
Putting in Better High
ways, Says Odell.

"Too much praise cannot be awarded
the state engineer and other state and
county officials for the work they are
accomplishing on the roads between
here and st. George says George T.
Odell Of the Consolidated Wagon &
Machine company, who made trip into
that territory during the past week. Mr..
Odell said that while the roads south Of
Beaver were not boulevards, nor entire
ly satisfactory all the way, much good
work had already been done, for which
those interested deserve great credit. ,
Mr., Odell decided about two weeks
ago to make trip by automobile into
some Of his concern s territory which
he had not visited for number OF
wears. lie went TO State Engineer Beers
and was given maps and complete in
formation about trip through Juab,
Millard, Beaver. Iron and Washington
counties. In seven days he made the
trip through to ST. George and return,
with several side trips in Millard and
Beaver counties and, on tho whole,
found the roads to be in excellont con-
dition. The total distance covered was
625 miles.
Speaking Of his trip Mr.. Odell said:
think 1t safe to say that be-
tween this city and st. George tho
better part Of 500 men and teams
are at work on the different roads,
some from the counties, others on
the state highway, and while. some
of the roads will be found soft, ow.

one will concede that there arc
worse roads to be found, and per-
haps not mach more of an interest.
ing trip could be discovered than
that over tho roads travelled. 1t Will
NOT take many years, if the work
now in progress is kept up, to make
travelling Comparatively easy over
these roads.
At the Sewer river dam and the
Beaver dam there are at least l5O
to 200 men employed at each dam,
with a large number of teams, and
the work is progressing very rapid
". MiIlard and Beaver counties
should be benefited materially by
This work. To one who has not
been over this entire route south of
Beaver during the past twenty
venrs, the conditions found now are
surprising. The desert country be-
tween Milford and the southwest on

Movement of Coal.

AS the movement Of the coal over
the CRATES is dependent upon the
tipping action Of the CRATE bars and
the force of gravity, it is very diff
cult to maintain uniform thickness
Of fire over the entire CRATE area.
Sometimes avalanches will take
place. piling up coal in one place
and leaving the CRATES practically
bare in another. Due to the fact
that the CRATES are continuously ex~
posed to the high temperatures Of
the fuel bed and have no opportun-
ity for cooling Gas in the chain
crate stokers), more trouble is ex-
perienced with clinkers sticking to
them and il is necessary to use a
slice bar OF poker to keep the stok-
er in proper action If n clinker
builds up on one Of the CRATES it
will soon make bare spot below 1t
by stopping OF the feed of coal
from above. On account OF these
difficulties of maintaining uni
formly thick bed Of fuel and clean
FIRE, the regulation Of the air supply
becomes quite difficult problem.
Consequently, skillful operation on
the part of the fireman is necessary
to prevent smoke. Avalancbes also
add to tho problem Of controlling
the smoke produced, by distributing
the normal makeup of the tirebed

because Of the difficulty Of prompt
ly varying the air supply to suit
changes in load conditions, this
stoker is not as well adapted to
sudden overloads as the underfeed
stoker.
With the foregoing remarks in
mind, it Will be seen that TO oper
ate the step-down stokers without
smoke requires skilled and constant
attention on the part Of the fire
man. As the load varies, he must
regulate his chimney damper to
furnish a proper air supply. He
must also keep the CRATES, clean,
but at the same time, in using the
slice bar he must be careful not
to bring about ayalanches. No
