Register Hal J. Cole. There is a de-
cided increase in the number of call
ers this week. The majority of the
applicants are after information con-
corning the location of the lands which
will be thrown open next month";
Now that definite information from
Washington assures prospective appli-
cants that the price of registration is
limited to the 25-cent notary fee, it is
reported a large number of citizens
who hesitate about registering are
now contemplating doing so. Super
intendent Witten has sent circulars to
local attorneys which indicate that any
notary public who was appointed prior
to June /, 1909, may upon application
to the superintendent in charge of the
opening of the government lands, re-
ceive an appointment providing he will
sign an agreement prescribed by the
United States government. Superin-

appointed to handle registrations in

SALT RIVER VALLEY, ARIZONA,

STRANGE BIRDS.
Matching Chicks Is Uncertain and
Great Care Must Be Taken In

PHOENIX, Ariz., July This is the
banner year of the ostrich industry
of the Salt River valley. On the five
farms around Phoneix the season be-
gan with about 5000 birds, a number
in itself twice as large as the totil
census of ostriches on the western
district By the end of the season
there will be twice as many, for the
chicks are coming at an unprecedented
rate. The largest farm, which began
the year with 1900 birds, already has
900 chicks turned out on alfalfa, and
the season is not half over. The hens
are now on their second nesting, and
there will be third in the falltime

that an increase of 100 per cent should

comes at this time chiefly from Ger

Mexico is $500 god per ton. 1t is said
that about 80 tons of the weed are re-

TEXAS ADDS ANOTHER ASSET TO
HER LIST OF PRODUCTS IN
AGRICULTURE.
Wax Extracted From Candeliila is Be
inq Exported in Great Quantities
An Infant Industry.

GALVESTON, Tex, July THE dis
coyerv by Oscar Pacius of Monterey,
Mex, of a process of extracting wax
from the candelilla weed has created
a new and important industry in Tex
as and Mexico. The candelilla weeo
is a desert plant which grows album
dainty upon a million acres of semiarid
land in northern Mexico and parts OF
Texas Arizona and New Mexico. 1t is
one Of the types of vegetation peculiar
TO the southwest which long had been
looked upon as useless. 1t was des-
pissed by cattlemen because it has the
faculty of forming such a dense growth
upon lands as to shut out the grass
and thus 'injure the range for grazing
purposes.
Landowners who have thus formerly
despised the weed growing upon Their
holdings now find themselves in fair
way to reap a fortune from the utiliza
ton of the plant This already is be-
ing done in Mexico, and steps have
been taken in Texas to carry out the
manufacture of wax from the plant
Began His Experiments.
When it was discovere a few years
ago that a good grade of crude rubber
could be manufactured from the quay
u.e shrub( experiments were begun by
MI Pac.us and others with various
kinds of wild vegetation. Mr.. Pacius
found that the candelilla contained wax
to the amount of g II to 4 per cent.
He perfected process of extracting
the wax, and it is in practical opera
ton in several factories that have been
established in northern Mexico
The new industry is having a rapid
growth 1t is predicted by men who
are familiar with the different kinds
of commercial wax that it will not be
long until the principal source of sup
ply of that product will come from the
candelilla plant. 1t means an enormous
increase of wealth to the people of
Texas, Mexico, Arizona and New Mexi-
co, where the plant is found in it's ma
tive state

Harrisonburg. Va, oct a.-One Of the
most interesting developments OF the
Virginia campaign is the movement on
the part OF county Anti-Saloon League
organizations in sounding legislative
candidates upon their attitude toward
temperance reform legislation, especially
the question of passing bill submitting
Statewide prohibition to a vote OF the
people.
This action on the part of the tenn
perance forces indicates that a prelimi-
nary sSirmish OF a prohibition battle in
Virginia. which will come sooner or later
in this State will be fought out in the
next general assembly, when the Anti
Saloon League will go before the law
makers and ask for the enactment Of a
submission bill
This new development IS interesting
because prominent Democratic leaders
have announced that the next general
assembly viii not enact any temperance
reform legislation.
