A new $4,000 ice and electric power
plant in Benson was completed last
week when the first cakes of ice were
frozen in the Ice plant of the Cochise
Utilities company, it was learned here.
The plant has been under construc-
ton for the past three months ana was
rushed to completion in order to be
ready to serve the spring demand.
It will have capacity Of six tons
daily, which is expected to supply the
Benson demand. The machinery. was
purchased through the r. E. Huth-
steiner Engineering company OF Ell
Paso, agents for the De La F'ergne
Ice Machinery company OF New
York, and its installation super
vised by r. E. HuthSteiner, Jr
who has been spending the past
three weeks in Benson.
Every modern appliance known to
the ice manufacturing business has
been Incorporated in the new plant,
which is thoroughly up-to-date in
every respect. Most important OF
these is the water cleaning system,
which will guarantee absolutely pure
water for ice manufacturing pur-
poses. First the water is treated
in cleaning tank and is then run
through a sand filter which takes out
every particle of foreign matter. The
plant was put in at a cost of approx
irnately $4,000 The production will
be in 320-pound cakes, which will be
sold after being cut on the basis OF
300 pounds, allowing the extra 2O
pounds for any possible melting or
untrue cutting.
Ice tickets are now being sold in
Benson and the price has been set
at rs cents per hundred delivered.
The regular ice truck will make daily
deliveries in Benson as well as to-
outlying districts and besides this ice
for special occasions will be fur
nished at any time by the company.
They will also arrange to sell ice
from the platform at the plant at
any time.
With this announcement it was
made known that next week the S. P.
property in Benson will be hooked
up to the Benson plant and that a
full 24-hour service will be given in
the future. The light plant is now
equipped to handle any possible local
load and the second engine unit has
been completed for some time, and
is now ready for use at any time. 81
New offices have been fitted up
in the front of the ice plant building
and full line of electrical equipment
and supplies will be sold Benson people
by the company, who expect to-
carry large stock Of merchandise
in Benson.
Harry Schlegel and w. F. Wolfe,
partners in the Cochise Utilities COM
pany, will have full charge Of both
plants and win give their personal
attention to all local business, Both
men have proven themselves highly
progressive and have both found time
to advance the interests of their COM
munity as we'll as to build for them
selves one of the best plants of its
kind in southern Arizona.

NEW BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY

The following books have been re-
ceiyed at the library recently: The
Land of the Mist, Conan Doyle; The
Dream Detective. Sax Rohmer; and
rhe Law of the Land. Charles Pitt
Several new books have been ordered
by the library board and will be in
REGULATION soon. During the month
Of November. according to the libra
rian, Mrs. Edwin Hofstad, 223 books
and 10 magazines were issued and
1915 received in cash. This was an
increase over October when 200
books and II magazines were given
out and $8.25 realized. The great
est need of the library at the pres
ent time is room for the books, it
was stated at the December meeting
Of the Civic Club which sponsors the
library while the city furnishes the
space, heat and light. The shelves
in use are filled aud there is nc
wall space for more. New books
must be purchased each month in
order to keep the patronage of the
reading public and the question of
finding room for them is a serious
problem.

THE sea was SO rough at 2:3c
o'clock yesterday afternoon that

on the deck of the halibut boat and
as there was not enough room for
them in the crews quarters, they
were slowed away in the hold usual,
