"NEAR BEER "

In the hearing OF the Near Beer
case in the City Court, charged with
having violated the prohibition law by
selling Near Beer" there was submit
ted some testimony by experts which
must stand undisputed
One OF the experts declared that
Near Beer" is not Intoxicating and that
a man could not hold enough to make
him drunk.
1t has been developed and established
that Near Beer" is harmless, SO harm
less that no human stomach could stand
much of the beverage. 1t has been de-
vcloped that in cities and towns having
the prohibition law that Near Beer" is
simply subterfuge, a decoy for the
sale of beer.
1t has also been established that
whenever Near Beer" is said to taste
as beer, that it is beer and therefore in
the face Of this fact it is nonsense %
waste time in any effort to demonstrate
that Near Beer" is not beer.
When it is said o. taste as good as
beer, it is beer and "dono you forget
it"

THE HOG PACKING PLANT?

Is this promised industry to be added
to the anticipations which have gone
gllmmering into the past?
It would seem that the, protector has
met with some obstacles or enbarrass-
ment which may operate against the full
hllment of his promise.
At any rate, no complaint can be
urged against the farmers and the plant
ers who have responded promptly to
every request made upon them to Sc
cure the hog packing plant
1t is true that hogs in number I'M
limited can be raised throughout North
Louisiana and supplied at fair profit to
packery established iii or near Shreve-
port. but there must be an incentive to
stimulate the hog industry, beyond the
needs of home consumption.
In the packery is offered market
during every day in the year When
ever the farmers or planters hogs were
i'll a marketable condition their sale
could be realized at the plant
1t is fact we'll established that there
is no profit in feeding hogs after they
are suitable for pork. ham and saul
sages, but if there sho,ild failure attend
the proposed packing plant, the raising
OF hogs for shipment may be profitable
At any rate the farq RS and the plant
ers will add to their Wealth if they will
devote greater attention. in growing
hogs for home consumption than i'll the
past.
1t is not possible Tor farmer Or
planter to escape disatter and utter ruin,
who will depend on St Louis or Kan
sas City for his corn and meat.
The only salvation for the country is
i'll diversifcation by the tillers of the
soil. Every industry is dependent on the
success of the farmers. All wealth must
come from the soil.

Another Irrigation Project.

The rumor has again been revived that big dam is to be built about twenty miles above Parker for the pur- pose of diverting water from the Colo rado river to irrigate land in both Ari- zona and California. A government en- gineer is quoted that surveys werc al ready being made. The dam IS to be lO5 feet high at point where the rocky walls of canyon bring the banks nearest to- E"r. This dam will back the river the entire Cheme- heuvas valley, n is now occupied by few India.i-. | is said to be the intention of the reclamation service to begin work on this project just as soon as the Laguna dam at Yuma was finish ed This, it seems is most feasible project, as it will form grea7 settling basin and give a head of water that will reach all the mesa lands on the California and Arizona sides of the valley.

ARIZONA NEWS
 AND COMMENT
Kibbey Still in the Race

That friends of Governor Kibbey are overlooking no opportunity to aid his candidacy for the governorship of Ar zona for another term IS indicated
 q letter which George E. Trailes, .-Y of the Pima county members of ~rs publican territorial committee L ;. ceived, says the Tucson Citizen. T.e letter is from George A. Mintz, chair man of the republican central com mittee of Marieopa county. It urges MT. Trailes to write personal letter to President Taft, commenting Governor Kibbey and recommending him as the best qualified and most acceptable man for the governorship. The fact that Governor Kibbey's renomination was not confirmed by the senate has left the governorship matter in somewhat complicated state and the speculations as to who will really be Governor Kib- bey s successor are many. His friends stll assert confidently that it will be nole other than MT. Kibbey himself.

Since the start of the advertising campaign for Douglas in the east, Sec retary McNair finds his correspondence vastly increased. In one mail there were forty letters for him. The total number of answers to the Douglas ad- vertisement that day was twenty-seven and the results from the middle west advertising first appeared. In the Globe Democrat the ad was run on the second page next to reading matter and in the Cincinnati Enquirer on the third page in equally good position. The Globe Democrat of St. Louis produced as first installment of answers four teen, one coming from a New Mexico reader of that paper. The Enquirer brought six answers and seven more came from Georgian points as further result of the Atlanta Constitution ad.

Railroad changed Route.

The Mexico & Colorado railroad has all along shown tendency to treat very fairly with the owners of home steads and mining claims, and has not asked for any rights in an unjust spirit, says the Douglas Dispatch. As was forecasted, the homestead owners down the Sulphur Springs valley showed a good spirit towards the railroad right of way men also, with very few exeep- tions. But the obstinate spirit of a few resulted in the throwing of the right of way over the eastern slope of the valley, and it is now the owners along that section who will derive the benefit from the building of the new line.
