 The Minor State Fairs
 The house committee on appropri- ations frowned yesterday on the pro lect of dotting the state with state fairs. It reported adversely on two bills for that purpose. The first of these was bill approDriating B.. 00O Tor each of the next two years foI the Northern AriZon fair at Prescott and the other was a bill for a similar appropriation for the Southern Arizo- na fair at Tucson
 Another bill had been introduced the day before for an appropriation for the Eastern Arizona fair at Stafford That bill reached it's second reading yesterday and in course was sent to the appropriations committee. As Speaker Johns himself child of the just bereft Yavapai in announcing the reference. with a smile in which pity was mingled, looked toward MT Lines of Graham. the author of the Eastern Arizona fair bill, as if he found dis tasteful the official duty of sending his bill to its certain death.
 But these bills are not yet dead: il may be that they only sleep, for the whole committee and the house yet have a word. If the delegations from the counties where these sectional state fairs are proposed to be held stand together as it is surmised they will do, they will constitute a consid- erable force in the legislature They will probably be able to attract to themselves some delegates from othe- counties which have not state fairs. Even the Maricopa delegation may bo fy, f,f trritb 1 ts,t al Cf sustenance from the -big top" state fair.
 Another proposition rejected hv tho appropriations committee was that of purchasing the original guhcrnatoria mansion at Prescott for preservation hy the state as an object of historical interest.
 The First Payday
 The rubicund countenance of Jesse Boyce. the state auditor rose in both houses of the legislature yesterday like shining sun and dispelled the clouds of gloom which had lowered there for three weeks. Mr Rovce was armed with warrants, and contrary to what usually happens when an officer is around with warrants, nobody tried to evade service It was not neces- sary for the sergeant at arms to close the door to prevent attaches and members from escaping. but to hold the doors tight to prevent a stampede into the chambers when the news spread that MT. Bovce was around.
 The presence of MT Boyce followed closely upon the signing of House Bill No 1 by Governor Campbell. Other Business 1 The house labor committee to which the Mckay minimum wage for vror1er 1 bill had been referred the day before with instructions to bring in a more | elastic measure as a substitute sent in | s. 0. & signal It wanted the as- sistance of the judiciary committee l which Chairman Faires announced would be afforded.
 1 Tn this connection MT Faires askeS for a meeting of the chairmen of all the standing committees for the ar rangement of a schedule to prevent a conflict of meetings Mr Flake sug- gested that there should also be some | understardin~ with the house as to the time for holding it's sessions.
 New bills were introduced as fol- | lows:
 By Mir. Coffee of Greenee. to pro- ] hibit the killin~ of deer. antelope road runners and other birds and ami mals for which any close season is not short enough.
 By Mr Faires of Gila, amending the law with reference to warehouse re- ceipts.
