NO INCREASE IN THE
 HAY RATE TO NORTH

PHOENIX, April 15.-Hay rates from the Salt River valley to North ern Arizona have not been increased. This announcement was made at the office of the corporation commission.
 It was an oversight on the part of the man who compiled the latest Santa Fe freight tariff schedule af- fecting valley points that was respon- sible for an apparent increase in rates to Northern Arizona points, and lot of frantic wiring back and forth be- tween the corporation commission and the officials of the company. The old schedule on hay called for a charge of $7 per ton from Salt River valley points to Flagstaff, Williams and other points on the main line ot the Santa Fe Later the rate was re- duced to $5.40 in supplementary tariff, which was omitted from the latest published tariff This auto natically put the rate back to it's former figure of $7.
 As the matter was merely an ove-- sight on the part of the company, no notice of an increase was sent to the commission, and it was only in check ing over the new tariff that the rate department discovered the change. The old rate already has been rein stated, and on all. shipments made at the $7 rate refund will be made.

MERKA'S MUDDLE GETS
 HIM INTO TROUBLE
(From Saturdays Dai1y)

Arizona is legally dry, but Frank Mcrka desired to keep it in the wet column. He was entrusted with the duty of watching the closed station midway between Jerome and Clark dale, owned by Sullivan & Harring- ton, where a considerable stock of vet goods was stored with othe- property, and being of generous na- turc started to dish out the liquor re- treatments to weary travellers with 9 free hand. His liberality was toe bold and he got into trouble. He was arrested by Constable Joe Cook. of Clarkdale, and had a hearing be fore Judge Kea.ns later. This pro cceding was very brief, as well a tame, for Merka admitted being guilty, but pleaded ignorance of the legal situation. He was bound to the Superior court and later his boot logging business will be sifted down along judicial lines. He Is now in jail here awaiting trial, being brought in yesterday afternoon by Constable Cook.

 JOINS THE BOOSTERS
(From Fridays Dai1yl

Ten directors and a number of
 members of the Yavapai County
 Chamber of Commerce attended the regular meeting of that body last night and considerable business and discussion resulted.
 Secretary Fraser, reported, among ether things, that over 11,OOO of the issue of 25,O00 climate and resort booklets recently issued have been sent to various parts of the United States, its possessions and to Canada; that two houses have recently been completed in Pinecrest and one is in course of construction; that Cleaning Day, last Saturday had left Prescott in far tidier condition than ever be- fore, and that Sheriff Joe Young had applied for resident membership in the organization. Sheriff Young was unanimously elected.
 Chairman E. J. Mitchell, of the finance committee stated that, while the field for maintenance subscrip- tions had not been fully canvassed, probably not more than $500, in addi- ton to the sum already signed for, could be raised.
 Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, President Aitken was asked to appoint committee to canvass for subscriptions to acreages under the Granite Creek dam irriga- ton enterprise This committee will be appointed in due course.
 The county and municipal affairs committee, through the chairman, E. s. Clark, reported that he and O. A.

EXPERT COMING TO
 PRESERVE FRUITS
(From Fridays DaiIyl

 Through authority of the board ot supervisors, an arrangement has beer made with F. B. Wood, of Boise Idaho, to come to Prescott not later than July l, to do some processing of products of the soil of the mile high county.
 Processing means the preserving of green fruits, berries and vegetable in their natural color and size so that they will not deteriorate for many years, notwithstanding changes in temperature and stress of sunlight
 For years, Secretary Fraser and local chemists have worked with the several formulae furnished by the de partment of agriculture, without any marked degree of success and the board, realizing the prime importance of having beautiful fruits and other agricultural products of this county preserved for exhibition at all times of the year, have employed Mr. Wood to make four months canvass of the huge areas of Yavapai and to cull on these trips all that is wonder ful in the realm of Pomona.
 Mir Wood has done some work for the State of Idaho, which has called forth the admiration of thousands and his processing work for the Northern Pacific railway is equally noted. He comes recommended highly for this work by J. w. Vessels, who was cm- ployed by the Spokane Board of Trade in similar work for years, and others.
 On his way to Prescott, Wood will study the latest phases of exhibition of fruits and the other varieties of the Panama Pacific exposition at San Francisco. It is hoped that any fine specimens will be called to the atten- ion of Mir. Fraser, so that Mir. Wood ,an go and get them when the proper lime comes. He prefers to pick his 1 own specimens, as often the manner of packing and shipping and the con litions at picking, renders them unfit or his use.

RIGID PROBE AT
 REFORM SCHOOL FAVORED

1 PHOENIX, April 15.- The state
 industrial school at Fort Grant, the
 center of several political scandals
 during the administration of Governor
 Hunt, will be investigated if the plan
 of the school officials of the state is
 carried out. The only investigation
 of which the public was informed was
 made by State Auditor Callaghan,
 and the obstacles which he encoun-
 tered, put in his path by the state ad-
 ministration, formed salient feature
 in his probe. It is understood that
 there have been other star-chamber
 investigations of the school but there
 has never been a house-cleaning.
 The committee of school officials
 which recommended that a school
 survey be made, specifically urged
 that the survey include the industrial
 school, so if the recommendation is put into effect this skeleton in the closet of the Hunt administration will be routed from his barricaded hiding place and the institution subjected to an investigation by neutrals, that is to say, persons who will have no pc litical axe to grind.
 That steps will be taken to make a survey of all Arizona schools as soon as possible was the chief action of the school officials.
 All of the speakers were in favor of the survey. The only difference of opinion was whether it would be a local or a state undertaking, and ap- ply to all schools uniformly. Many | examples were brought to bear as to | the success of the survey in different states and cities where 1t had been | made. Fully two-thirds of those pres ent spoke on the matter. The recom- as adopted was as follows:
 The committee favors a survey of the schools of the state It recom- mends that the survey be made under the supervision of five school men, one from the University of Arizona, one each from the normal schools of the state, and three other school men from the state. Further, it recom- mends that the survey be made under the direction of competent man se' cured from outside the state, provided that funds can be obtained by appro priation or otherwise, and that the state industrial school shall be in ,luded in the survey. Further, that pr. R. B. von Kleinsmid of the uni ,ersity appoint the committee
 The educational outlook in Arizona vas exhaustively discussed. An ad- jress on the subject was given by State Superintendent C. o. Case from he standpoint of the administration, .nd Dr. A. J. Mathews from the standpoint of the normal schools. Dr. 2. B. von K1einsmid discussed the question from the standpoint of the 
 All three of the talks indicated that he future of education in the state in il departments is bright. All gave he warning that there should be no riction and that the whole plan hould include all of the educational l departments of the state. Dr. von said that the whole system , hould be unit from the chart class , D through the university. All should york to help the other, so that the ower departments would rightly rain teachers for the lower. "The lace of the university" said Dr. von "is to serve the state.
