TO DOUBLE CAPACITY.
Copper City Brewery Pushing the
 Work and Pushing the Trade.

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 13.-(SpeciaD-
 The Copper City Brewery is going right ahead with the work of doub- ling the capacity of their plant in Douglas. The Douglas Lumber con- pany has four or five cars of material on the road now to be used in the completion of the work.
 Like everything else in Douglas, the brewery is spreading out and getting bigger because the demand is increas- ing for it's good product.
 The management deserves the cred it for the good showing and the fine trade they have built up, and for the progressive way in which they have covered old territory and added new districts to it.

Homestead Itight Not Trans

The Director of the Geological Survey recently requested from the Department of the Interior as to whether a ilOmeSteatier whose entry is within the irriga- ble area of an irrigation project, but not subject to the restrict ions, limitations, and conditions of the Reclamation Act, may sell a relinquishment of part of his entry.
 The Assistant Attorney Gener- al has rendered an opinion which is approved by the Secretary of the Interior, that an entrvman who has not acquired title to his

The Strength of a Nation

From an article in the May number of Opportunity, written by Geo. H. Maxwell.
 Why is Nevada today a state of great ranches and few people a population of only a.little over 5O,O0O where it might just as well have had a million.
 The writer was once travelling on the railroad down the Valley of the Humbolt in Nevada. The train stopped at Golconda, one of the waste places in the land created by land monopoly. Two young men crawled out from the trucks. They could stand it no longer. They were so covered with white alkali dust that you could hardly tell they were hu- man beings. And there was nei- ther work, nor a chance of it where they had to give up their effort to reach q place where tine homes of men would offer them an opportunity to work and live. Is it much to wondered at that we are breeding socialists when year after year Congress goes steadily forward with the policy that destroyed Nevada?
 "The evil that men do lives af- them"-but if Arizona now be sacrificed to the blight of land monopoly such as destroyed Ne da. the day will come when the young men of this nation, wlo will some dav awaken to the value of their birthright in the pubic lands, will curee the menl- ory of the man who sold their birthright for q mess of pottage.
 The danger to Arizona arises from the fact that tine people of tine whole country do not realize the marvellous opportunities Ari- zona offers to the young men of the nation, and do not realize how completely land monopoly as 1t would be created under the joint-statehood bill, would crush out and destroy those opportun- itieS.

New Rule on Desert Lands

Absolute ownership of all wa. ter rights is required before des- ert land entries can be proven up, according to rule promulgated by the general land office, which has resulted in the rejection of numerous final proofs.
 "The claimant must be abso- lute owner of the water stock appurtenant to the land," said General Frank (. Prescott, regis ter of the land office here. today. "Five thousand dollars of stock hypothecated for $500 is an in sufficient showing of reclama tion.
 Another drastic rule relative to desert land entries is that on-

 Until the homesteader hasa quired either a legal or equitable title to the land, he cannot make an agreement to convey any DOT tion of it that will secure to another any right or interest therein. He may relinquish ;'ll or parts of it, but the relinquis h. ment must be to the United Sta tes.-Ex.

the famous Corwins of that state. During

Star at the time. He became interested in
the Rechabite order about six years ago,
and last year was placed at its mead. His
recommendations have invariably proved
to be beneficial and the success of the order
is in no small measure due to the wisdom
of his policies He has ever been ready to
organize tents when requested to do so by
the high chief ruler. When he began work

while there at present more than one
thousand in Washington and vicinity. He is

in a responsible position in the Treasury
Department.

who is now filling the position of high sec
rotary by appointment, formerly held that

men for that position in America. and is
