FOREST EMPLOYES
 CONSTRUCTING SETTLERS

Williams. Arizona, Dec. 1, 1909. Editor WILLIAMS NEWS.
 My dear Sir: I note in your last issue you state that a great deal of agricultural land in the the valleys surrounding Williams is open for settlement and only awaits the magic touch of the man with the hoe.
 am willing to grant the agri- cultural possibilities of these lands in question but I take exceptions to their being open for settlement, neither is this possible under the present local administration of the Coconino Forest Reserve for these lands to be settled.
 It being clearly intended by the Congressional Act of June II. 1906 that this class of land, even timber land should be open to settlement as it has always been, but by g misinterpretation of the law, both in it's reading and intent settlers every day are kept out of the settle ment of these lands by some local Forest employee. who has no in- terest in the development and well fare of the country except to make out of it all there is possible in obstructing settlement in the in. terest of some grazing syndicate or rich individual.
 The Act of June II, 1906, provid- fo9 the entry of agricultural lands in Forest Reserves: "Be it enacted etc. x "That the Secretary of Agriculture may in his discretion and he is hereby authorized to ex. anime and ascertain as to the location and extent of land within permanent or temporary Forest Reserves, except the following (Enumerating all which are not in Arizona.

 As was stated in court by the district attorney, the remaining cases against Smith, Belcher and Robert Birch, the latter having al- ready paid his fine in the justices court, for permitting gambling in their respective resorts, will pro- bably be dismissed if there are DO future violations.

PRESCOTT GAMBLERS
 GET HEAVY FINES

Judge Doe, in the district court, a. Prescott, on Nov. 29. imposed a fine of $2OO each on Ben Belcher and Barney Smith for having dealt faro. A similar fine was imposed upon Sidney Birch, whose case did not go to trial. he having pleaded guilty of permitting game of black jack to be run in his saloon. w. R. Stone, who also pleaded guilty to dealing faro, was fined $50.
 Notice was immediately given by Attorney Leroy Anderson for the defendants that the cases would be appealed to the supreme court. In response to the courts question whether or not he had anything to offer why judgment should not be passed upon him. Belcher said:
 Smith and 1 have been heavy taxpayers and law abiding citizens in,this county for 32 years. It is the first time either of us have ap- peared in court or have been ar rested We have paid into the school fund of Yavapai county a hundred times more than those men who made the complaint against us in the matter.
 "When the law first went into effect we discontinued all games and our places of business were the most orderly in the territory. But We: could not see our customers leave our own house and go to places where the law permitted certain forms of gambling and we opened up one or two games again this summer. When we found the public sentiment against us we immediately closed the games.
 's'I hope the next legislature in it's wisdom will pass a law prohibiting other forms of gambling now allow ed in places other than saloons and

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN.
Not q Blood Disease-Cured by Oil
of Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be blood disease and was
erronesously treated as such, but
now the best authorities agree that
eczema is only a skin disease and
must be cured through the skin.
The eminent skin specialist, DR.. d.
d. Dennis, first discovered the
eczema germ and his discovery was
quickly taken up both in Germany
and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at
the same time heal the skin, Dr.
Dennis compounded oil of winter
green, thymol, glycerine, etc. The
remedy is liquid, not mere salve,
hence 1t sinks right into the pores of
the skin. Washing with this oil OF
wintergreen compound seems to
take the itch away at once; soon the
scales drop away and the disease
disappears. The prescription has
now been used so long as to have
proven its absolute merit and we do
not hesitate to express our con-
fidence In d. d. d. Prescription as
used with ID. d. d. Soap. For sale

New Use for CObS.

A new industry, based upon an ac-
cidental discovery, has been quietly
developed in Council Bluffs, that
promises to be revolutionary in some
respects, and which will add millions
of dollars to the annual income of
farmers. The discovery invests King
Corn with one more prerogative. and
elevates the humble corn cob to a
financial association with the golden
grain. Cobs that were worth, few
months ago, only $3.50 a wagon load
for fuel, are now worth $1,000 ton,
sudden jump in value that has add
ed cents per bushel to the price of
corn in the Council Bluffs market.
This extraordinary value has been
due to the discovery that the cobs,
when crushed and properly prepared,
are an invaluable aid in the purifica-
ton of gas in the city gas works. The
experiment of crushing the cobs and
utilizing them for the purpose was
first made in Council Bluffs during
the last winter.

Summer Resort at Lansing.

During the past week H. B. Miner
has been plating a number Of lots
on Mt. Hosmer at Lansing for sum-
mer homes, movement that was
started by Dick Thompson and
others. About fifteen of the lots
have already been sold, three of them

most inviting appearance, a park
with fountain is located nearly in

square, with streets and alleys to &C
commodate each one are laid out.
The place is quite heavily wooded,

School Teacher Loses Place.

Schoolma' ans who lose interest in
their work when the school board
cuts their salaries $40 a month need
expect no mercy from either the
school boards or the state superin-
tendent's office. State Superinten-
dent Riggs handed down an opinion
sustaining the action of the school
board at Hawkeye in dismissing Miss
Jennie Hall for not showing sufficient
interest in her work.
Miss Hall, it appears, was the mu-
sic teacher in the school at Hawk
eye. For some reason or other-pre-
sumably because the school board
thought that too much attention was
being paid to music--Miss Halls
salary was cut from SIS month to
$45. This didn't appeal to Miss Hall,
and she began to cut down the time
of periods she had been devOting to
the youngsters.
The school board discharged her.
She appealed. Mr. Riggs sustains
