 It was while attending a confer ence of fifteen or twenty water right claimants at the disputed headgate that Silt got into his argument with the slayer Arbitration proceedings were halted by the hot words of Silt and Chism, in the midst of which the former called the latter a liar. A deputy sheriff who happened to be in the crowd arrested Chism and took him to Yuma.

PROTESTS NEW
 RATES 0N FRUIT
Corporation Commits si o n Asks for Suspension of Increased Tariffs on Can teloupes and Vegeta- bleS

The advances in the rates on vege- tables and fruits. including canta- loupes and melons, from Arizona points that would seriously cripple the industry have been proposed by the railroads, to take effect March H., was made known yesterday at the offices of the corporation commits sion. Formal protest against the new rates has been filed with the inter state commerce commission.
 The proposed increase of rates, which would affect every point of origin in the state. would result in the addition of from $6.75 to ss.75 per carload according to destination, and would apply on shipments Of cantaloupes and melons, cabbage. garlic and fresh vegetables. The rates would affect practically all shipments from Arizona.
 Protesting an advance in this class of commodities, the commission says: These advances are unjust, unwar- ranted, unreasonable and discrimina tory. and if permitted to become eff fective they will seriously cripple and. in fact, jeopardize the very life of the business which they affect. The commission alleges by reason Of thed istance from market that no additional burden should be placed upon growers in this state.

cultural problems in the state and vorably reported.
 Another measure that was not left in a completed state at the time the committee rose was one appropriating 5000 to each of the counties for aid ing in conducting a county fair. The bill was objected to on the ground that some of the counties would not need so much money. It was pro- posed that the appropriation to each should be based upon its assessed valuation. The majority seemed rather to favor definite sum for each of the counties and s2,500 was the figure most talked about.
 bill amending the law with ref erence to adjustment of losses by fire insurance companies was favorably reported
 Senator Stapley prevented the en- dorsement of a bill to increase sal aries in counties of the first class , (Maricopa). The bill proposed to raise the salary of the chairman of the board of supervisors from $1.500 to S1,80O and the salaries of the other two members from s1.200 to s1,500. It provided also for an additional as sistant for the clerk of the superior court at a salary of $125 a month MT. Stapley said that the proposed increases did not promise better ser vice. He would favor a still greater increase for the chairman of the board, who should devote his whole time to the duties of the office. As to the extra assistant to the clerk, MT. Stapley pointed out that the law already gave him power to employ as many clerks as might be needed at not more than s10e a month. The bill is recommended for indefinite postponement.
 MT. Goldwater introduced a bill au thorizing boards of supervisors to cause a great register to be printed every two years.
 Attention was called to violation by the house of the joint rules in disposing of bills by passing them when duplicate bills passed by the senate are already in the house. That has happened frequently and lately in the case of the bill authorizing the sale of the reform school property at Benson.
 The senate in the afternoon passed the house bill authorizing the sale of the reform school property at Benson, although it had previously passed a bill for the same purpose. The house bill passed two days later, the senate bill having been dumped into the house waste basket, differed from it only in the title.
 The rest of the afternoon was given to putting additional touches upon the public land bill.

Some offerings of bills appea- ed on the advance. causing slight de- clines from the highest quotations Time money worked to the lower levels. Four and five months loans were made at three per cent although the quoted rate was fraction higher Great Northern, Atlantic Coast and Rock Is- land systems made indifferent returns for January of the losses of varying de- grees while St Louis and San Francis co reported a net increase of s291, 900 on substantial saving in operating costs.

strictive legislation have increased the railroads burdens without adding to their income.
 Schaff testified it was not because of the war that increased rates were asked but because of the general de- pression since 1908. In seven years he said the average net income of forty-one railroads was 419 percent. While in previous years the railroads were able to borrow money at 3k to 5 percent. Many now pay seven percent or more. President Felton of the Greatwestern illustrated the situation at the Kansas City ter minal
 The first estimates of the new passenger station,' he said, were $15,000,OOO, but with the building there came requirements for viaducts and subways, and soon the estimate was $25,000.000. The final cost will be $50,000,000 This is a matter of local pride. It means burdens for the railroad without more income"

NEW YORK, March 4.-Peace rum ors, more gold imports, and the ad- iournment of Congress were incidents on Wall Street while the securities market pursued an irregular course on small business. Wheat options fell again on unconfirmed peace rumors
 There was a wider movement of some specialties notably automobile shares. Much of the early advantage disap- peared in the later trading. The pas sage of the common dividend of Ameri- can Steel Boundaries caused little sur prise because of the known conditions of the company's business. Practically all foreign exchange markets were

It was amended by stituting the board. The senate bill left the governor without a deciding voice. The house amendment pro- vides for a board constituted as the board of control is, with the excep- tion that the public examiner is to De made the secretary of the board. As amended the bill was recom- mended for passage.
 The Senate in the Morning.
 The opening session of the senate yesterday was devoted more to rou- tine business than to fireworks and for the most part was passed in the committee of the whole. Communica : tions to Messrs Drachman and Mar tin from citizens of Pima county protested against any modification of the prohibition bill, which was the subject of discussion the day before The communication probably arrived too late. All the amendments likely to be offered in the senate have been either adopted or rejected.
 The NOgales chamber of commerce sent a memorial through Mir Karns to stimulate the senate to favorable action on the house bill making an appropriation for bridge across the raging Santa Cruz in the county of that name.
 In the order of business of com mittee reports the truth in advertis- ing" bill was ordered engrossed and the recently introduced, bill in both houses providing for inspection by county commissioners of private as well as public hospitals. convents. seminaries and various other institu tions was recommended for indefinite postponement.
 Tn the committee of the whole a bill authorizing the appropriation of $2O, 900 for the construction of a road between. and approaches to, two gov- ernment built bridges across the Gila and the San Carlos rivers within the Indian reservation, was left somewhat in the air.
 Two objections were raised to it. One was that since Graham county would be the chief beneficiary of such construction. Graham county ought to pay for it. That objection was met by a statement by Mir Claridge that Graham county would be no more benefited than Gila, Co., chise. or any other county that would make use of a state highway This reply brought the suggestion from the president that the road should be built out of the state highway fund, and that encouraged MT. Col ter to remark as he had said when the good roads bill were under discussion, that not enough money was being appropriated for state highways.
 One of the many bills relating to court costs was favorably recom- mended. This one restores a former statute left by error out of the code, requiring that in jury trial the jury fees must be paid by the party in whose favor it is to be rendered be- fore it's rendition. The court is given discretion to remit the fees in favor of poor person.

Apple Shipments.
During the past year 600, 900 barrels
of apples were shipped by the various
transportation companies. OF the da-
ia available in the Office North Jay
was the heaviest shipping point with
1886 barrels. West Paris was second
with 1890: Union third, with $500;
Wilton, fourth. with s,O03, and Nor

was unusually heavy for the past sea-
son. The federal government has
made an estimate Of 10000, 900 bushels
although this is greatly in excess OF
other compilers. Conservative esti-
mates place the crop between $4,000,
600 and 10000. 900 barrels. The fac,
that Western New York had a large
crop of fruit had a tendency to de-
press the eastern markets early sc
that prices have been inferior thus
far. The western box holdings at the
end of the season as estimated by the
Northwest Fruit Distributors is ap-
proximately 100000 boxes. as esti-
mated by the New York dealers from
5000, 900 to 7000,0G boxes This shows
plainly that it will take a very active
market to handle the remainder OF
the crop advantageously to the pro-
ducers."
