 Senator Curtin of Mohave introduced bill appropriating $150,000 for the construction of a bridge across the Colorado at Pierce's Ferry on the Ar rowhead trail. For this purpose an appropriation of $4o,000 was made b the legislature two years ago, but that sum was woefully insufficient, consid- ering the haul of the material 40 miles from the Santa Fs railroad. The following statement was made by Senator Curtin in support of the bill:
 The Arizona Strip"
 North of the Colorado river, and especially that portion lying within the boundaries of Mohave county is one of the most important areas of country within the state of Arizona. l thas about 4,000 square miles of ter ritory, large part of which is grazing | and agricultural. In the northwest part is a large oil structure. the area for a distance of F miles northerly | and southerly and 40 miles easterly and westerly having been withdrawn by the interior department under the proclamation of the president This country is not only open to the oil lease regulations, but the agriculturist may go in there and make settlement, the deed from the government re- | serving the oil that may be found be- heath the surface.
 Many farms, dry and otherwise, have been settled upon and are in a pros- porous condition. Several settlements have combined in a communal way and brought water on to acreages that are producing fruits, garden truck, well as wheat, corn, oats and other grains. Thousands of acres in the surrounding territory are well adapted to the growing of crops and it is cer- tain that should roads be built in there to make possible the marketing of produce several hundred people would take up homesteads and begin the reclamation of farms.
 Great Pine Forests
 "Ore of the most important of the resources of the strip is the great for est of standing pine timber, the govern ment estimate being in excess of 20, 100000, 900 board feet. There are three mills in this forest of small capacity the output of timber going into south ern Utah, being the only timber pos sibility of that country. The timber grows to the rim of the Grand Canyor and in places is so closely grown tha animals cannot traverse the country. There are many important mines O ; copper in that section that would b, l greatly benefited by the opening of tn,
 territory by highways. In fact the onl! . method for the opening of the countr. l is by the building of highways. Tn ? one important highway and one tha would be open all the year around i . that surveyed by the state enginee . that runs from Pierce Ferry on tn ]. Colorado River to the Utah line, an, from the Colorado River south to connection with the National Old Trail

APPOINTMENT IF. JANITOR ACTS AS
 BOMB IN HOUSE
Members Want To Know How It Came About-Six New Bills Introduced In The House And Eight In Senate

Like Mahomet's coffin. Fred Gard ner was left suspended in the air after brief but spirited discussion fin the house of the legislature yesterday nor ning of his aspiration to be janitor of that chamber. And those who have observed the avoirdupois of the aspi- rant will agree that that suspension is some bit of levitation.
 The mention of his name, along with those of several persons who had been named as clerks or W-s5 had been sub stituted for other clerks after the dis charge last week of tho committee on patronage which had been supposed to have completed its work, acted like a bombshell. Mir. Wylie of Cochise wanted to know. He said that Card ner had been canvassed by the com mittee and it had been definitely de- termined to reject him. Therefore, who had hired him? Mr. Wylie fur ther suggested that the matter be laid before the whole house.
 Chairman Jones. of Maricopa, of the late committee on patronage, agreed with Mir. Wvlie that there had been an understanding in the committee that Gardner should not be appointed, but some ore. doubtless exercising a proper authority, it appeared, had done SO. In a further and later explana- ton. Chairman Jones alluded to some political influence" of which he hesi- tated to speak. but he had been in- formed that Gardner would make a good janitor.
 Incident Is Closed
 MT. Udall of Apache wanted tc know what it all was about. He said that he could not vote on the question as suggested by Mir. Wylie without knowing something more about Gard ner and the circumstances under which he had been appointed. other mem bers voiced the same uncertainty.
 There was no definite reply to tho persistent inquiry, How come2" Bui at length a suggestion was made thai the chief clerk had done it under hi' broad powers to ''hire and fire.'' That however. was not made clear and the discussion was resumed as to the man .ler of bringing the matter before tn, house which, it was stated, had tho power to accept or reject attaches. AT attempt was then made to saw th' controversy off on the printing com r.nttee.
 But Judge Phillips cited the statutei in which 1t appeared that the appoint ment of janitors for the houses la. entirely with the presiding officers O the houses. Thereupon Speaker Reef stated that the matter was a closet Incident.
 Several new bills were brought int lhe mouse, tne llrst DeiIlg a SuDSutuU for House bill 2, by Mrs. Bush. re lating to cotton gins as public utili ties. This bill differs from the origina only in that 1t bears an emergenc. clause.
