Much Notification in Winslow

Winslow has been celebrating Arizona's admission to State hood as only the best town in the soon-to- be- e-State can. The citizens signalized the sewing of the new start to "Old Glory" with bonfres, banquet, and a gener- al public jollification.
 This town has always furnish ed earnest workers to the cause of Statehood and in the achive- ment of the final victory, many of the most prominent men feel they have achieved a personal victory. Consequently every, body is wearing "the smile that won't come off,"
 The 6rstdissappointment over the delay in admission, caused by the restrictions embraced in the enabling act, has given way to unalloyed joy in at last ar irving ill sight of the coveted goal of civic equality with the other constellasions of the Union
 Mrs. Geo. Palmer of the Maya. jo Cleaning Parlors had the hon. or of sewing the new star on the local flag, said star being three feet across.
 Much praise is due to the mem bers of "Winslow's Ehree-H H Band, composed of Messrs John Donahue, T. J. Hesser and Bot Henderson who furnished the music for the occasion.
 To the hustling MT. John E. Campbell we doff our hat, who took it upon himself to collect funds for the celebration and making arrangements for the evenings entertainment, having good success, collecting double the amount needed.
 The sum of money not needed for the celebration was deposited by Mir. Campbell in the Navajo Apache Bank and the following letter sent to the City Council:

GOOD NEWS FOR DRY
 LAND OWNERS
Bill Permitting Them to Leave
 Their Homesteads.

The information in an Associa- ted Press dispatchin The Repub- lican yesterday morning to the effect that a bill had passed the house allowing homesteaders to leave their claims until water is available, was received with con siderable enthusiasm at this place.
 1t will be remembered that when this same measure was in- troduced early in the present ses- sion the information became cir culated that the bill had become law and not a few of the home steaders who are situated with out the reclamation zone and without the watered district also were preparing to avail them selves of the privilege. The mat ter was finally taken up with Delegate Ralph Cameron who explained the situation stating that the bill had only been intro duced not having received any attention from either the house or senate further than the intro duction.
 The information as yet is rath- CT meager as to the qualifications of the measure but 1t is believed at this place that it applies to the land under the reclamation projects or the land which is in cluded within the reclamation zone. This opinion is probably based upon the supposition that homesteaders who are without the reclamation zone and who may not get water for a long term of years or possibly never from any government project will not be subject to the privile- ges to be granted in the event that the measure should become a law. However the lands with out the reclamation zone may be taken under the desert land entry act or the communication plan which Is in no wise as eXacting as the regular homestead entry which calls for the actual five year residence ill order to estab fish title to the land. On the other hand if the provision which has 1 passed the house shall become a law within the next six months there is a bare possibility that 1t will not benefit the homesteaders who made entry under the regu- lar reclamation act, for it is un- derstood that in the event that the reservoir is filled by the sum- mer rains or nearly filled that the farm plats now being prepared for the purpose of forwarding to the secretary of the interior for his approval will provide for the watering of practically all of the lands under the canal systems which Tn reality takes in practi- cally all of the homestead land within the reclamation zone.- Phoenix Republican.

REALTY SYNDICATE
TO RAISE BUILDING
Plans Under Way to Convert
Structure Into Ten Story
Office Edifice

OAKLAND, Feb. 1O.-PreIiminary
plans are now under way to add at
least eight stories to the Realty Syn
dicate building in Broadway between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, the
object being to convert it into a 10
story or more office building which will
harmonic with the big First national
way and San Pablo avenue and the
Central national bank building on the
opposite corner
Although the Realty Syndicate build
ing is at present but two stories in
height the foundation was laid with a
view to possible enlargement and is of
suff1cient strength to sustain IL story
building.
Dennis Searles. private secretary TO
F. M. Smith, owner of the structure, is
making the preliminary arrangements
for the elevation of the building
1t has always been pet hobby of
mine to make big Office building out
of the present structure" he said today,
and have broached the scheme so fire.
quently TO Mr.. Smith and the others
interested in the building that they fin
ally told me to investigate and find
whether the plan was feasible and what
it would cost, and then make a report
to them. / am now making my inves-
1gation. testing the strength of the
present building and examining esti-
mates of the probable cost of making
the proposed enlargement. Although
we have not definitely decided as yet
to make the alterations it is probable
that if satisfactory arrangements can
be made the work will be commenced
in the near future. If this is done the
present building will be converted into
at least 10 story structure"
Smith has this week purchased lot
80 by 100 feet in dimensions near the
northeast corner of Twelfth and

WILL BAR STUDENTS
FROM BOOK STACKS
Thefts Will Result in Establish
ment of Pneumatic System
in the Doe Library

BERKELEY, Feb. 10.-The university
may spend $4,000 to keep students
out of the book stacks at the new Doe
library, which will be completed in
about a year. One of the reasons for
the Installation of a modern pneumatic
system of handling books is because
of the large loss of the university each
year from students
This is particularly noticeable in the
books of the law department., and,
while the annual loss has not been
computed, it is believed to total many
hundreds of dollars. In other depart
ments the losses have also been heavy
under the present system in the old
library, where the student has free ac-
cess to the stacks.
In the new Doe library plans have
been drawn by Prof John Galen How
ard for the installation of a pneumatic
system of handling books whereby the
student will not be able to handle them
except with his card. The stack rooms
will be placed under lock and key,
and each in charge of an attendant,
who will put the book called for in a
pneumatic tube and shoot it to the
main desk.
Arrangements are also being made to
run the system to the new Boalt hall,
which is also being completed south
of the new library building
One contractor has submitted a bid
calling for the expenditure of $4,000
for the new system, but it will prob
ably be installed for considerably less.
as Professor Howard has estimated the
cost to be much below this figure.

IS THINNESS
EMBARRASSING?
Undoubtedly 1t Is to Many a Maiden
and Youth-WhiIc Even Those Well
Along in Years Prefer Well Rounded
Figures.
Prescription Increases weight.

A scrawny, gangling youth or maiden
is almost invariably sighted, over
looked or ridiculed in any social gath
ering. There is something about a
plump or we'll proportioned figure
which attracts not only friendship, but
love and adulation as WELL
People with a proper amount or
flesh are favored in all walks of life,
while the thin are unbIessed, unwel-
come and frequently miserable for life.
The difference lies in the power of the
digestive functions and the ability of
the blood and nerves to absorb and
distribute over the body the nutrition
extracted from the food eaten.
The thin person is abnormal and
lacks the power to absorb and retain
the flesh and fat elements which the
gastric juices in the stomach and in
festines should extract or separate
from all kinds of food and drink.
A recent accidental discovery has
proven that tincture eadomene when
blended with certain other drugs, will
add from one to three pounds of flesh

general health and strength also im-
proves wonderfully.

BEATTY SUSTAINED
AS ADMINISTRATOR
Left by Judge Wells in Charge
of Estate of Late Mrs.
Hitchcock

OAKLAND, Feb. 10-The first skir-
of the late Elizabeth B. Hitchcock was
won today in Judge Wells court by
Henry n. Beatty, the San Francisco at
torney and politician, who is named
residuary legatee in Mrs. Hitchcock s
will and to whom she gave large
amount of property before she died.
Judge Wells refused to grant the petit
tion to depose Beatty as special admin
istrator, but on the contrary enlarged
his powers so as to give him control OF
the entire estate
The contest of the will OF Mrs. Hitch
cock and the attempt to defeat Beatty's
control of the estate is being waged by
Mrs. Elizabeth Smith of Napa, niece of
the deceased. With her infant daugh-
ter she was left $4,000 by her aunt's
will. She says that Beatty made vio-
lent love to Mrs. Hitchcock during the
last year of her life and thus induced
her to give him a goodly share of her
$780, 600 estate as well as to leave him
the bulk of it by her will. Mrs. Hitch
cock was more than 20 years old when
she died.
Her attorney Aylett r. Cotton, was
outspoken today in his charges against
Beatty.
henfy N. beatty StuHeQ MS pockets
with $4,000 worth of a dying woman's
property" he said. He also asked that
Beatty's bond be made greater than
$4,000, which it is at present. This
Judge Wells refused to do.
In Beatty's answer to the will con-
test he admitted that he had received
as gifts the following assets from Mrs.
Hitchcock: Twenty-Five bonds of the
United Railroads, Is bonds of the Pa
cffic electric company. bonds of the
Los Angeles railroads company, 71a
shares of the Chicago, Wilmington and
Vermilion coal company. 19 shares of
the National railway publication COM
pany, shares of the Columbus savings
and loan society and several pieces of
jewelry Cotton estimated that this
property was worth $4,000.
To Mrs. Smiths contention that some
one other than Beatty should be admin
istrator in order that suit might be
| brought against him for the recovery
of this property, Beatty's attorneys, f.
P. Dunno and Thomas E. Curran, an
swered that if the will of Mrs. Hitch
cock is sustained there will be no need
of suit and that Mrs. Smith is able at
any time to bring the suit herself with
out getting Beatty out of the way as
administrator. Judge Wells coincided
with their views.
