HOmesteaderS Should Hurry.

Whoever is contemplating taking a homestead on government land in Arizona had better make filings on the land desired before the passage of the statehood bill.
 By the terms of the statehood bill several million acres of the public do- main are given to the new state to pay the territorial and county debts and for other purposes. The stIte- hood bill also provides that the land so given to the new state shall not be sold for ies~ than S3 per acre.
 Naturally the land selected by the new state will be the lands which are more likely to be attractive to home seekers The most valuable lands n Arizona today are the lands which a homesteader would desire, except per haps few small tracts of timl e land in the mountains.
 | So, it is advisa ble all who are expect | ing to take homestead Tn Arizona | to do it now while the government | land Is available.
