ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
By BOB MARKLEY

From everywhere comes pictures
and stories of festival queens
There are cotton queens and queens
of apple blossom time. There is q
queen for every harvest, holiday or
sport that could use one. The
farmers down in Texas have even
crowned a female sovereign in
honor of that odorous little herb
the onion.
All of tbs brings us to the point
in our story where a hundred of
Arizona's faithful, under the lead
ership of Dix Price, vivacious presi-
dent Of the Arizona State Society,
gathered at the Contentinental Ho-
tel in Washington a few nights ago
to elect an Arizona girl to the
queenship of the genus Cactaceae.
That hardy perennial of the Ari-
zona desert was not any too well
represented by the two little potted
succulents adorning the orchestra
stand (pansys of the cactus family,
they were), but there was true
representation when the AriZonans
chose for queen the attractive Mrs.
Arthur Way who halls from the
town of Young where men ride hard
(pansys are not even plantedD. Mrs.
Way can wear that crown in a fit
ting manner, for she is true Ari-
zonan who is not likely to forget
the wide open space where she
grew up, even though Washington
tends to re-mold all who stay long
within its bounds.
Believe it or not, this contest
went off without the aid of a
single bathing suit. There was u
definite air of refinement about 4
group of girls with their clothes on
competing for the honor of being a
queen

New Mail Route
May Be Established
From Coolidge

On Thursday of last week Post
master George H. Todd Of Phoenix
accompanied by Mr.. Arthur Grob,
chief railway mail clerk Of Ell Paso,
and other officials, were in Coolidge
to confer with Postmaster Boone in
regard to the establishment of a
new mail route out of Coolidge to
better serve the towns of Florence,
Florence junction, Superior, Sono-
ra, Ray, Hayden, Kelvin and Win
kelman. The ney proposed service
would give some of these towns "a
hours quicker mail service, and
would materially affect the mail
service between Coolidge and Flor
ence, the county seat. A letter now
mailed at Coolidge 10 a. m. will!
not reach Florence under the pres
ent set-up until IL o'clock the next
day, while under the proposed serv-
ice letter mailed here before 10
a. m. would reach Florence in 20
minutes. The postal department
will make definite decision at a
very early date and it is hoped that
the new service will be established,
as a definite need exists for better
mail service in all the towns af-
fected.

Advice On
Canning Pumpkins

Many Arizona women can fruit,
vegetables and meat. The ideal
storage space for them is one that
is cool, dry, and well ventilated.
A basement storage room may
be used says Mrs, M. Alberta Har'
ris, county home demonstration
agent. Outdoor caves or cellars or
built-in storage closets in the house
may be used for this purpose. In,
sulated cupboards keep canned
foods fairly cool in the summer.
Storage space should be darkened
in some manner as strong light
bleaches the color of the canned
foods.

dent of the federation, announced.
Inasmueh as the administration s

tors of the cotton growers division
of the federation felt it necessary

Church Receives Gift

A beautiful gift was presented to
the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing when Miss Mace. one OF the
Young people, gave a picture OF
Christ that she had painted with
her own hands. The work has
merit of highest sort, and given
proper opportunities, Miss Mace
will no doubt make name for
herself in the field OF art. The
church is very grateful for the gift,
and it will be suitably framed and
hung in the Church auditorium.

REGULATIONS FOR
COTTON PAYMENTS

Many questions are being asked
concerning the 1897 cotton price
adjustment payment plan according
to County agent X. K. Henness.
The $13O,OO0.0OO appropriated by
Congress for cotton price adjust
ment payments on cotton grown in
1897 will give a better income for
the 1897 crop and, in a certain
measure, make up for the decline
in the price of cotton. All 1887 cot
ton producers, whether they are
participating in the 1887 agricultur-
al conservation program or not,
will be eligible to apply for the
payments # they comply with the
provisions of the 1888 agricultural
adjustment program.
The payment to an individual
producer will be calculated on the
, basis of the cotton sod prior to
July l. 1888. The rate Of payment
| per pound does not depend on the
grade or staple OF the producers
cotton or the selling price he re-
ceives for it, but will be uniformly
the amount by which the average
price of seven-eighth inch midding
cotton on the ten designated spot
cotton markets is below twelve
cents on the day the producer sells
his cotton. The payment, however,
cannot exceed three cents per
pound.
While all of the cotton produced
in 1887 is eligible for the payment.
the total amount of the payments
TO all producers cannot exceed the
$3.50. .0O0, 900 appropriated. In order
that the money available will be
distributed properly among all pro-
ducers, it was decided that the pay
ments would be limited to 65 per
cent of the 1887 base production
unless the funds available permit
payment on a greater percentage.
A growers 1897 base production
is the product obtained by multi
plying the yield per acre OF lint
cotton for the farm by the cotton
base acreage for the farm, both OF
which were or could have been es-
tablished under the 1887 agricultur-
al conservation program.
Usually a producer does not have
a contract or agreement to sell his
cotton to a particular buyer at a
price fixed in advance. In sucn
cases. the date of sale is the day a
huver classes the producers cot
ton and pays him for it. thereby be-
ginning and ending the enure
transa ction. In other cases pro-
ducer may have an arrangement III
advance whereby he is to denver
his cotton, or a part of it, to a
buver for a price already agreed
upon. In these cases the date OF
sale is the day the producer enter
ed into the agreement, even though
it may be sometime before the
transaction is completed.
Producers will not be eligible TO
receive a 1887 cotton price adjust
ment unless they file proof OF the
sale of their cotton in the county
agents office. AS evidence OF inc
sales, producers should now use
cotton sales certificates, Form CAP
-1O1. which may be secured from
the county agent. Proof OF sales
made up to and including October
IS. 1887, should be filed before DC
tober 80, 1887, and for sales MADE
after October Is, 1887, within Ii
days after the date of sale.

They understood and immediately began the task of raising funds. They sold fish, bead work, mocca- sins, baskets and furs to the trad CTS and very soon enough money was raised. One Indian woman whose name was Mrs Davis, the mother of little son, gave twenty dollars and said at the time she hoped her son would preach in that church when he grew up. It came true that her son was the first lay preacher and later ordained to the Presbyterian ministry and did preach in that church many times. Although the original church has been rebuilt and repaired, the site remains the same.
 Mrs. Tamaree told how Dr. s. Hall Young officiated at her marriage to Louis Paul, a converted missionary who was also part native, in 1881. Some years later Dr. Young and Miss Kellogg were married and be- came the father and mother of Mrs. Alaska Young Norwicka. In 1881, a few months after Mrs. Ta- marcos first marriage, she and her husband started out as missionaries to the Chilkat district. They stopped at the site of Juneau. There were several log cabins and a general store. Gold had been discovered in Silver Bow Basin and Gold Greek was being placer mined. She said she has two vivid pictures of Ju- neau; one of that cold windy day in early spring, with no comforts, just little mining settlement in the woods; the other of today a modern city with every modern con-

yenience. She mentioned the ex- cellent schools and lodges and the many women's clubs and the splcn- did musicales she has attended since coming to Juneau.
 Lectures
 Mrs. Tararee has lectured on AL aska in New York City, Chicago and many other eastern cities. and has spent some time in Elizabeth New Jersey.
 Mrs. Snow, who needs no intro duction to Juneau, stood little and dainty with a mind as clear as crystal and told of her narrowing experience on the trail over the summit and many other dangers she has survived on her long. tramp into the interior of Alaska. Mrs Snow said she had told her story several times to Juneau audiences and that it will probably be in book form within a year.
 Many beautiful pieces of needle work were in process of construc- ton. One, 6500-piece quilt, called Grandmother's Flower Garden, was just being completed by Mrs. Gertrude Lacker, mother of Mrs. Paul. The guests were Mrs. Wag- goner, Mrs. Snow, Mrs Norwicka, Mrs. Carmichael, Mrs. Lackey, Mrs. Paul and Mrs. Tamaree, the guest of honor.
