NEW HIGHWAY IS
 BEING AGITATED
(From Sundays Daily.)

(trom Sundays Dally.)
 Whether a new road will be built to Walnut Grove or the present route through Copper Basin repaired and maintained, is one of the i'm portant questions that will come be- fore the Board of Supervisors at an early date. Aided and encouraged by the merchants of this city, the farmers, miners and stockmen of the Walnut Grove district are signing a petition to be presented to the Board asking that a new route be built, shortening the distance to this city from Wagoner at least eight miles.
 The construction of the proposed highway will also eliminate a day in the ordinary business visits here of residents of that prosperous sec tion of the county. It can also be kept in repair at a much less cost than the present route, as it will pass through districts that are sel- dom visited by cloudbursts and which have little, if any, snowfall in the winter months. Another desirable feature is that the grades will be fewer and not nearly as heavy as on the Copper Basin route.
 Under existing conditions the Walnut Grove farmers are compelled to haul their produce to Kirkland and then ship it over the s. F., P. & P. Over the proposed road they can reach the market here in the same time now occupied in reaching Kirkland. There are at least twen- ty-fve farmers in and around Wal nut Grove who raise thousands of tons of fruit, hay, grain and other crops annually. Besides, the road will pass by and within easy reach of many mining enterprises now working, thus eliminating the cost of transporting supplies by pack ami mals, making the cost of operation much less than now.
 AS outlined in the petition, the estimated cost of construction of the route is $5,OOO. It will follow the Jersey Lily road to and across the Hassayampa to the Mescal road, which will be used to it's terminus at the Mescal mill. J. B. Tomlinson, owner of the Mescal road, in an interview, yesterday, stated that he will allow the use of the Meseal road free of charge.
 From the Mescal mill the prelim- mary survey follows the east side of the Hassayampa river by the Cli- max mine to the Mahard ranch, where it will cross. the river to the west side, which will be followed to Walnut Grove.
 With the route established thous- ands of dollars will be saved annu- ally to farmers, stockmen and mine operators in transportation expenses, besides the cost of mine operations will be reduced considerably, which promises to result in the resumption of development on many properties that cannot be operated at a profit under present conditions.

among the stars is just now easily

rapidly westward in the sky and will
be at it's shortest distance from the
sun on April 90 It's nearest approach
to earth will take place about May H.
For a few weeks before and after
that date astronomers anticipate thai
the comet will be visible to the naked
eye and for a few days at least may
present a magnificent spectacle. Al

ALLOW ISSUANCE OF PATENTS

ing to Lands Valuable For

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Carter, after a conference with sew
eral western governors who were in
Washington this week attending the
governors conference, has prepared a
bill authorizing the issuance of patents
to states for public lands, chiefly val
power.
He announced today that he would
present the bill to congress on Monday.
In effect, the Carter measure would
turn over to the states the whole
question of developing water power.
1t would remove the entire problem of
regulating the use of lands and streams
chiefly, before the development of
power from the control of the federal
government.
1t is expected that the pressing of
this measure will evoke storm of
opposition from supporters of the Taft
conservation program. Senator Car
ter, however, takes the position, that
when his plan is understood, it will
command the support of the conserva-
tionists.
His bill provides that "any state
may enter any unappropriated public
lands located within it's borders, which
is chiefly valuable for use in the de-
velopment of water power upon max

lous.
First senator on one side of the

TIDE TURNS
STRONGLY TO
UN|0N|STS
Voting Friday Shows That
UniOniSts Gain 10 Seats
Liberals Get Nothing

LONDON, Jan. 21.-From returns
received late tonight the status of the
various parties in the general election
follows:
Gains-Unionists 81; liberals 10;
laborites l.
From returns announced of today's
voting, the unionists gained ten seats
and the liberals none.
In today's polling Reginald McKenna,
first lord of the admiralty was return
ed victorious over E. G. M. Carmich-
ael, unionist for Abergavenny- Mon
mouthshire and William Abraham, la
borite, was reelected for Rhonnda
Valley by $685.
The political tides continues to
trend toward conservatism. Forty
eight constituencies declared their
choice today and positions of the OPP
posing armies tonight are practically
where they were last night with the
tories slowly forcing the radicals back
ward. There is hardly a question that
the Irish will ho.d the whiphand over
Premier Asquith in the coming parlia-
ment and that it will be a critical
and exciting session.
Unionists Gains Steady
The unionists have made steady
gains on the popular vote almost
throughout England and to much les
ser extent in Scotland and Wales, but
all parties and factions of parties claim
the results are a vindication of their
policies.
Broadly speaking" says the Nation
tonight, "the force and direction of
the two great election currents are
clear The north stands against the
south-Scotland and Wales and York
shire, Lancashire, northeastern corners
of England, against the Midlands, home
counties and the nearly solid southern
coast

result is a victory for tariff reform
The liberals deny it stubbornly. They

alive gains and charge the triumvir-
ate-the lords, the church and the pub
ncans-with overaweing their depend
ents and followers by practicing wide
spread intimation and threatening them
with loss of work. From the opposi-
ton point of view the conservatism
of the counties is due to the loyal
ty of the people to the house of lords,
their fear of socialism and a desire
for protection.
New Power For Home Rulers
The home rule question, with the
nationalists the dominant party in the
alliance in the new parliament, will be-
come invested with an Importance it
has not held in the campaign. Mr.
Asquith declared in the campaign that
the liberals would be free in the new
parliament as they We're not in the old,
to support a measure for full self
government to Ireland, purely on Irish
affairs and subject to the maintenance
unimpaired of the supremacy of the
imperial parliament.
The Irish people generally had con-
strued the promises of Mr.. Asquith
to mean more than this, and protests
are being raised among the home rul-
ers 1t is probable that a home rule
bill will be introduced but not press
| ed at the coming session and that the
attention of the government will be
centered upon the budget.
Places for Joseph Albert Pease, chief
| liberal whip; Sir Henry Norman, as
! sistant postmaster general and Colonel
j. E. B.. Seeley, under secretary for
| the colonies, whose constituents snow
ed them under, soon may be found,
one by the promotion of Herbert Glad
stone to the governor generalship of
| South Africa and the others by the
shelving of some older ministers by
| raising them to the peerage.
Asquith Loses Confidence
| Premier Asquith, chancellor Of the
exchequer Lloyd-George, Chief Secre-
| tary for Ireland Birrell president of
| the board of trade Churchill and other
| members of the cabinet made speeches
| tonight These threw no new light
! upon the situation, although Mr.. AS
| quith's declarations did not have the
confident ring that heretofore has been
| the case.
J. A. Bryce, brother of the ambassa-
| dor to the United States, supported
| by large majority in Inverness; Ru-
and Lewis Vernon Harcourt are among
| the prominent liberals reelected. The
elections continue to be enlivened by
scenes of turbulence.
Mr.. Pease at Essex, Safforn Wald-
en-, today was pursued by a hostile mob,
and a prominent broker, Mr.. Leen,
| who was unsuccessful as liberal cam
| didate, was greeted with groans and
| a general uprOar when he appeared on
| the floor of the stock exchange.
Timothy Healy, famous nationalist,
! had an experience similar to that of
Mr. Pease, when the result of his mar
row victory in the north division of
Louth, Ireland, was announced today.
1t required a large force of police to
get him safely to his hotel He suffered
