MANY HOMESEEK-
ERS IN ARIZONA
VALLEYS
Fasteners With Money Are
Filing on Lands in Sui
phur Springs.

Douglas, Ariz, Jan. 27.-Without any
blare of trumpets, the homestead fever
has caught the people of the east and
middle west, and the result seems TO
have swept over COchise county like
a storm unprotected. Cochise county
has some of the best land within the
gift of the government in the United
States, land that on the word Of many
who have investigated the soil and rain
fall of Ventura county, Cal, is declared
to be even better than that in the now
famous bean growing country of the
Golden Gate state.
The agriculture stations and the agri-
cultural university Of Arizona have
been too busy collecting data and eX-
perimenting with the soil of the terri
tory to take up the work of advertis-
ing. The scientists wished first to
convince themselves, before inviting the
man of the east. But the man back
east has not waited for the invitation,
as is proved by the thrush of settlers
into the Sulphur Springs valley during
the past month
Many Entries Made.
A newly appointed United States
commissioner is located at CORTLAND,
in the valley, and during the past
month almost $50 entries have been
made at the Phoenix land office for
Pearce and Douglas Most of the set
tiers come. in from Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, Georgia and Pennsylvania The
settlers from Oklahoma and Pennsyl-
vania are families with money, and IT
is now assured that gas engines and
centrifugal pumps will be installed TO
irrigate the land
About so entries have been made dur
ing the past few weeks through the
Bisbee land office and some through the
local office. 1t is estimated that about
200 entries have been made during the
past six weeks. All of the settlers de-
clare that the land in the adjacent
valleys is different from their ideas OF
the so-caIIed "arid lands Of Arizona
They had not expected to find the val
legs covered with grass, and are sur
prised to find that water can be Sc
cured at such shallow depths In the
vicinity of WILCOX many of those who
six months ago filed on the land. are
now bringing in their farming imple-
ments, stock and families, and though
this movement will follow in due course
in the Sulphur Springs valley between
CORTLAND and Douglas, this movement
has been in a way anticipated by the
new settlers, who are bringing their
families with them

Washington's Flag.
pulla.;p


Another valuable relic OF Washington
has been recently added to the Valley
Forge Museum of American History. This
is Washington's headquarters flag. His
marquee was purchased by the museum
last fall after having been exhibited for
years in the National Museum at Wash
tngton. 1t was his first headquarters
flag and was used by him throughout the
war of the revolution.
Now through the courtesy of Miss
Frances y. Lowell. a descendant Of Betty
Lewis. d sister OF Washington. the flag
of the patriots is exhibited with the
famous war tent.
For years the flag has been a treas
ured heirloom in Miss Lovelfs family and
few have known of its existence. Upon
her fathers death she became its owner
1t was known to the family as Wash
ington's headquarters flag"
That it is the unidentified flag of
Peale's portraits there can be no doubt.

Ministers Meager Salaries.
From the Pittsbnrg Chronicle Telegraph.

From the Pitfsburg Chronicle Telegraph
From the Methodist conference i'm Iowa
comes the news of a remarkable exodus
from the ministry, fifty-seven men hsv-
ing given notice of their intention 10
withdraw and engage in secular work.
The reason assigned is the insufficiency
of the average ministers salary. Cases
are cited i'm which men of education and
refinement with families on their hands
are expected TO live on a pittance OF $500
a year. and S7OO year is a common fig
ure. At the present time. when the cost
of living is extraordinarily high. the
strain must needs be too great even for
the most patient and self-sacrihcing OF
these underpaid servants of the church.
The danger to the church is obvious. and
unless the weIl-to-do laymen in the con-
gregations affected come TO the rescue.
the matter of finding means of defense
looks serious. indeed. Nor is it only the
loss of ministers already trained to the
work that is in prospect. Clearly, if the
rewards of ministerial service continue
to be generally insufficient, great fall
ing off i'm the number of students for the
ministry is inevitable. and thus a two
fold danger has TO be met. with no APP
parent means Of meeting it.
