NO SPECTATORS WANTED
Government Irrigated Lands to BE
Reserved for Settlers.

A Washington dispatch says Secret
airy Hitchcock and other officials OF the
Interior Department have determined
to prevent all forms of speculations IN
land to be irrigated by the government.
AS was to have been expected, attempts
have been made to take up land under
government projects by means OF
soldiers additional homestead rights,
by lieu lands filings and other processes
contrary to the spirit and intent OF the
reclamation law. The first of these
cases to be brought up for official &C
ton was promptly rejected by the
Interior Department, which held that
land under government irrigation pro-
iects can only be taken up under the
homestead law, and then only when
the settler agrees to pay his proportion
ate share of the cost of building the
project: that is the fixed price per
acre for his water.
The object of all these spectators
has been to corral large quantities OF
land under irrigation projects with the
view of selling out at a large advance
1t is recognized that the cost OF irrlga-
ton which must be paid by settlers on
government irrigated land, will not
begin to represent the true value OF
the land when watered. Land that
will cost the settler $40 to $50 an acre
when irrigated, will be worth $40 tC
800 an acre. Mr.. Hitchcock is deter
mined that spectators shall not get g
foothold on land that is being or is tt
be irrigated by the government. Thi:
land can be controlled more easily thar
the average public land and it will be
comparatively easy to- head off specu
lators. That is being done.

Ell Paso, Texas, Oct. 3.-One
of the biggest miners rock drill
ing contests ever held in the
west is planned as one of the
features of the coming meeting
of the American Mining congress
in this city on November IA.
These contests are very novel
and attract the best drillers from
the various big camps OF the
country and have always
brought big crowds to this sec
ton whenever given. AS the
prizes will be large and the best
drillers will be attracted thereby,
it is expected that this event
alone will attract d large mum
Der of people to the congress
At the last drilling contest ii
this city worlds record was
established, which is still un

TERRITORIAL FAIR NOTES.
Fair to be Held at Phoenix De-
cember 4 to 9, Inclusive.

The race programme that has
been prepared for fair week is
up to the high standard set by
the largest race meetings of the
east. There are twenty races
for trotters and PAGERS and nine
for runners, with a total Of S13,
900 to be contested for. Classes
are provided for all kinds of
horses. and the liberal amount
of money offered will satisfy
horse owners outside the terrific
nv that we are determined to
have only the best, and that our
first annual territorial fair is
bound to. be a grand success.
The speed department is being
widely advertised all over the
country, and the fact that horse
men generally appreciate our
liberal purses is proved by the
fact that several owners of fast
horses have written from Penn
sylvania and New York to say
that they expect to bring their
horses to take part in our races.
The same information has been
received from several other
states; so it seems the whole
country will contribute many OF
it's best horses to make the fair
a success. Arrangements are
also being made to secure the
attendance of several of the most
noted horses of the country In
special exhibitions or races. Our
new tracks will be very fast by
fair time, and with the many
high class horses that will com
pete, it is certain that great
many fast records will be made
and there will be- week Of good,
clean horse racing that will be a
treat. Already there are about
thirty horses stabbed at the track
and it is getting to be a busy
place. Work ON the grand stand
| is progressing rapidly and when
completed, like the stables il
will be the equal of any in the
country for appearance and com
fort. Both the mile and half
mile tracks are fully completed,
and all horsemen who see them
agree that they will be as fast
and as safe as the best IN the
country.

Southern Pacific Earnings.

A dispatch to the Los Angeles
Times from Boston, of date Sep
TENDER %, says: The annual re-
port of the Southern Pacific, now
being prepared, is expected to
make very favorable showing,
although on account of heavy ex-
penditures out of the earnings
for betterments, the surplus ap-
plicable to dividends on the COM
mon stock will not be very large.
The gross earnings will be the
largest in the company's history
and although an abnormal pro
portion is absorbed in operating
expenses, this results from the
fact that unusually heavy ex-
penditures were made so as tC
accommodate the very heavy
business looked for in the com
ing year.

ABOUT IT.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1905-09-13

IF will come as a matter OF sur
rr;se TO the large number of friends
of the Pine Bluff Y. M. G. A. to know
that the 1900 mark has already been
reached in the membership CT the To-
cal association. But if it comes as a
matter of surprise, it comes likewise
as a matter of the deepest gratifica-
ton. Everybody in Pine Bluff is deep
" interested in the work of the local
association, and during the admins
tration of Secretary A. B. Richardson
there has been even more interest in
the associational work than there has
: ,er been heretofore in the history of
this city.
For long time, the great ambition
of the management of the local asso-
citation has been to reach the 1900
mark with it's membership rolls. To-
day this stands as an accomplished
fact, at last. At the last meeting OF
the board, held at the Y. M. G. A. last
Tuesday night, the report of the sec
retary showed 1887 members, but
since that time the required number
has been secured for the 1880 club
and the local association now stands
out prominetly as one of the leading
railway associations of the world. The
$500 club" has put in some earnest
ak conscientious work for the up
building of the membership rolls of
the association, and deserves un-
stinted praise for the success of their
efforts Chairman Graves of the men,
bership committee has done some ef-
ficient work for the association. To
sSaEetary Richardson, more than to
Sther enc individual in the work
Ks. is due the success of the local
association, for he is Justly popular
with al easses, and has rendered
himself indls pensable to the work in
this city.

AN EMBARGO ON BANANAS
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH WILL ALLOW NO MORE
THE sTATE-FEvER
POINTS SEEMS BE-
VIGOROUS IT.

Little Rock, Sept. 13.-Orders have
been sent to the quarantine guards
by General Haynes, acting under in
structiOns Of the state board of health.
to refuse to allow any bananas from
Louisiana to enter the state of Arkan-
sas if they are to be unloaded in the
state If they are properly sealed and
bear cards to show that they were
loaded under the supervision of the
marine hospital service, the cars con-
tanning bananas will be allowed to
PASS through the state. Otherwise
that fruit will not be allowed to enter.
This means that the banana supply
of Arkansas will be cut off until af-
ter the relaxation of the quarantine
regulations. Most of the bananas
scld in Pine Bluff and other Arkansas
cities are sent in from New Orleans.
If the state board of health refuses
to allow bananas to be unloaded re-
eardless of the certificate of the ma
rine service, there will be but little
traffic in that staple for some time to
come.
General Haynes has ordered 10000
blank forms of the new health certifi-
Gates, which are to be used by the
guards. They will be printed as rapid
ly as possible and sent out to the
guards in the hope that the new form
of providing certificates for travellers
may be in force by tomorrow morn
ing.
The new certificates are to be good
for ten days and every person cross
iug the state line is required to have
