HOW THE STATE CHECKS
 UP THE ICEMAN

With the approach of hot weather and the busy season for the iceman, the state department of weights and measures is calling attention of ice dealers to section 28 of the weights and measures act which, though short, is very explicit. It reads:
 Every person, firm or corpor-
 ation engaged in the business of
 selling and distributing ice at re-
 tail, shall sell same by weight"
 This means, according to State In spector Dyas, just what it states, and the practice of selling ice by "guess" will not be countenanced by the de- partment or city sealers of weights and measures. A note of warning is sounded to all sellers of ice to equip their wagons with scales and weigh the ice sold, so that the purchaser may get the exact weight he pays for.
 Where the householder has no scales with which to re-weigh the ice purchased, Inspector Dyas sets forth the following rule for ascertaining the weight in pounds of a piece of ice of any given size:
 Multiply the length by the width by the height Gin cubic inches); then null tiply the product of that by 0.532 and divide the result by 16. This will give the weight of the piece of ice in pounds.

OFFICERS NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH; DIG
 UP BOX OF SHELLS

Following the finding near Camp Harry J. Jones of what supposedly was a newly-made grave, an Ameri- can line rider Friday night hastily returned to Douglas, where with two city police officers and a deputy sher- if he returned to the spot, where an investigation was made.
 Digging down into the earth of the recently excavated pit, long wooden box was discovered, which was found to contain shells
 Army officials were notified, the fact then becoming known military authorities had placed the condemned shells there and were preparing to erect fence around the place, staved off into safety zone with red flags.
 Had the line rider, the police or the deputy sheriff hit one of the shells a glancing blow with their picks or shovels. they would have been blown to kingdom come, military officials said.

The Chautauqua has come and gone. It was good, but labored under adverse conditions prac- tically every day of last week and this week. High winds, coupled with extreme cold and much dust, contributed not only to the discomfort of the people, but to the entertainers as well. Had some of the attractions been held under different condi- tions, results would have been much better.
 The speakers were all good; particularly good were Judge Alden and Carveth Wells. Wells is a well educated man and has a pleasing way with his audience. it is regretable that he worked under some annoying happen ingS during the evening.
 Of the musical attractions, the Witepskie Concert orchestra and Olive Mccormick, coloratura so- prano, were by far the best. Miss Mccormick has a sweet voice of unusual quality. She most cer- tainly has a brilliant future be- fore her.
 The New York players, play ing The Servant in the House., had a couple of good actors, while the rest of the cast was of mediocre ability. The play is of ancient vintage, and due to local conditions, was badly staged.
 Next year should see Holbrook with a much better line up.

GENERAL FUNDS TAKE IN
 TEREST ON ROAD BONDS

Interest on county highway bond. deposited in a bank by county treas lrer cannot be applied to the highwa
 und but must be placed to the credi of the county's general fund, accord ing to a ruling made by w. J. Gal braith, attorney general The ques- tion was submitted to MT. Galbraitl oy officials of Pima county. Highway ponds of that county amounting t, 51,500,000 were sold and the fund. were placed with the county treasure who deposited them in a bank, where interest amounting to $7OOO subse- quently accrued on the money. The county highway commission claimed his money for highway improvement.
 "Section 98-465O and 4641 and sec. sion of act 152, session laws of 1918 indicate that moneys coming into the hands of the treasurer, not expressly applied or appropriated by specific provisions of the law, should go into the general fund.-" said MT. Gal braith's opinion

CHARLES THOMAS.
 GENTLEMAN. ANWERS CALL

Charles Thomas, old-timer, cattleman and highly respected citizen, has answered the call to another life that knows no re- turn.
 Heart failure has taken one of the oldest and most familiar fig ures in the local cattle industry. MT. Thomas died at the age of 65 years. His death was un- timely and was a great shock to his loved ones and to the com munity as a whole.
 MT. Thomas came from Texas to the Blue range country in the early days, and about twelve years ago he came from there here. He had been en- gagged in the cattle business all his life. He in common with all our stock men saw reverses, but he did not give up and had he been given a little more time would have recouped his losses.
 lie leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his depart ure: His wife, Mary Whitton, Sue, Anna, Charles, Tommy, Vii vienne and a young baby.
 Interment was in the Hol- brook cemetery at four D. m. Tuesday. The pail bearers were old-time friends. The floral offer ings were many and beautiful.

WATER AND SEWER
 CONSTRUCTION WORK

The first consignment of Oper- ating machinery for the water and sewer system is here. This is indeed welcome news. This much-needed work will now be- gin in earnest, and will mean the first step in "citifying" our selves.
 MT. Orman is here and will no doubt give much of his valuable time to the construction work. He is very anxious to give Hol- brook a fine and serviceable sys- tenn.
 With the beginning of this work will mean more prosperity for Holbrook, and this sort of service will unquestionably be the means of bringing new capi- tai to our town. Take it all in all it is about the finest thing that has happened to US in many moons.
