H0meSeekerS Warned
AGAINST SWindIers

The following statement was Civ
en- out at the reclamation service
department, Friday, August 9th:
The proposed opening of lands
on the Yuma Indian reservation
which is expected to take place
soon, has aroused the activities of a
band of swindlers who seem to be
operating principally in the south
west. These sharpers have selected
as their victims prospective home
seekers who are attracted by the
opportunities for securing desirable
tracts of public lands.
by means of advertisements clev-
erly worded, they claim to be able
to locate settlers for consideration
on choice tracts in the reservation,
and to furnish application blanks
and information concerning the de-
tails of the opening.
The time and method of open
ing these lands have rot been decid-
ed upon by the secretary of the in
terror. When the matter has been
settled by the department notice
will be given through the public
press and all necessary blanks can
be obtained at that time without
charge. Until and after such an
nouncements, all requests for infor-
nation should be made to the Office
of the reclamation service at Wash
ington, D. c., or to the project en-
gineer in Yuma"

August 8, 1909.
Cattle receipts here last week
were $4,000 head, including 1880
calves, which was 20 per cent. less
than same week a year ago. The
moderate run, which was common
to all the markets, resulted in a
good advance for the week, ranging
from 10 to % cents. The supply
today is more nearly normal for
this season of the year, at 10000
head, including 5000 calves, and the
market shows a capacity to take
care of a volume of this size with
out much of decline. Grass steers

Dan Cupid Assists
MOrenci Couple

Tuesday night about 11:30 o'clock,
Judge Bunch was awakened from a
sound slumber by a knock on the
door of his house in Solomonville.
Going to the door he was confront
ed by Howard Parks, who appeared
to be somewhat excited. In an
swer to an inquiry from the judge
as to the reason why he should be
aroused at that hour of night,
Howard informed him that there
was a couple from Morenci who
were very anxious to see him.
Hastily donning his clothing,
Judge Bunch summoned the couple
before him, who upon cross-exami-
nation, declared that their names
were Beatrice A Stanger and Ad-
Olson S. Livingston. and that they
resided in Morenci. They also in
formed the judge that they had left
Morenci Monday and had got lost
on their way to the county seat.
They bore this testimony while still
in the saddle. They also expressed
desire to have the Judge officiate
at ceremony that would make
them one for life, which the judge
agreed to do.
With Howard Parks and George
johnson as witnesses, the bride and
groom and Judge Bunch proceeded
to the court house, where the Ii
cense was made out, and in the
presence of the witnesses, the judge
joined these two loving hearts from
Morenci in the holy bonds of matri-
mony.
1t was very romantic and the
hour and ceremony was deeply felt
by Howard Parks, who anxiously
inquired of the blushing bride if
there were any others around
Morenci who wished to get married,
and if she knew of any young lady
who would give him just one smile.
The answer of the bride must have
been encouraging, as Howard had
a look of happiness on his manly
countenance as he congratulated the
newly-married couple.

WILL TEACH FARMERS
Short Course in Agriculture
at University Of
Arizona

Beginning September goth, a
short course in agriculture will be
added to the course of studies in
the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Profs. Clothier and Fowler will
have charge of the classes in
farming.
This course is offered, first, to
meet the demands of prospective
homeseekers who desire to learn
something about the general prin-
cipal and practices of irrigation
farming before engaging in actual
farm operations in Arizona. Sec
ond, to give the young man who
feels that he cannot afford the time
or the means to pursue full col
lege course brief introduction to
some of the most important scientif-
ic principals and facts that are the
basis of successful farming, before
he settles down to his chosen busi-
ness, as well as to give him meas
ure of that broad general culture
that is always incidental to Univer-
sity life, and which makes so much
for good citizenship. Third, to
equip young men to take advantage
of opportunities and to fill positions
demanding more intelligence and
skill than ordinary farm labor.
Opportunities and positions for
young men of such training are
now open in Arizona and will be-
come more frequent as the great
reclamation projects being carried
on are completed. AS specific ex-
amples may be mentioned: First,
the employment at present being
the u. S. Reclamation Service and
private ditch companies of many
ditch superintendents, all of whom
need special training for the work.
These positions are constantly
changing personnel and the num-
ber of such men so employed will
more than double within the next
two years. The positions pay from
$75 to $135 per month. Second,
there are vast areas of desert land
in Arizona that may be reclaimed by
pumping, and the opportunities for
development of this kind of irriga-
ton farming have scarcely been
touched; but to make the most OF
such opportunities one will need
more mechanical skill and more
knowledge of the physical properties
of soil than the average farmer pos
sesses. Courses in irrigation en-.
gineering, farm management, soil
physics, vegetable gardening, or
chard management, and farm dairy
ing, are especially designed to equip
young men to take advantage of
these opportunities and positions.
Students will be admitted to the
short course who have a general
knowledge of the common school
branches and sufficient maturity in
years to understand the value of
their time and opportunity. They
will be accorded the same privileges,
and required to observe the same
regulations, as other students reg
istered in the University and resi-
dent upon the campus.
The University is amply equipped
with library, laboratory. and green
house facilities, while the develop
ment of a farm of eighty acres re-
Gently purchased will give opportun-
ity for an abundance of practice in
the application of the knowledge
gained in the class room, library,
laboratory and green houses.

ment of the Measure Made, says
Lawyers Who Discuss
Proposition.

+ II the opinion of lawyers stands for
anything. the Pure Food Law, one Of
the weightiest products Of last sum-
mer's extra session OF the Legislature.
Is ineffective and invalid.
There is too much Indebtedness as
to several provisions of the bill. 1t is
said. So much so that, with the doubt
which arises as to the means of Its
enforcement. there Is no certain man
ner to carry 1t into effect.
One instance of the indefiniteness
with which the bill Is said to abound
is entaiied in Section Is, which says:
That In order to enforce and carry out
the provisions of this act, the sum of
$4,000. or so much thereof as may be
necessary. be Immediately available. e"
Nothing definite as to the manner of
obtaining the money is given, and. in
asmuch as the phraseology Is not that
which should betoken an appropria-
ton. the provision as to the money to
enforce is Ineffective, lawyers have
said, and the law Is without machinery
to carry 1t into effect.
It Is said that several other instances
Of Indebtedness are to be found In
the bill.
The Pure Food bill, which is an act
to regulate the sale Of food and drugs
IN the otate, was ndiieu as one Oh the
most significant reforms of the legis-
lative session The law was fashioned
much after the Federal pure food law,
though with several changes. The In
spection OF food stuffs and drugs was
provided for. and the BILL was aimed
at the elimination of adulteration and
of deleterious substances In articles
sold for food.
The Commissioner of Agriculture and
Industries. assisted by the State Chem
list and the municipal and county in
spectors, and all police officers and
sheriffs of the State. were charged
with the enforcement OF the law.
Although no official opinion as to the
validity Of the law has been rendered.
the opinion that the law Is ineffective
is general and 1t Is probable that ON
cial notification of the condition of the
act will be made soon.
