BY G. Il. Gilman.
Want to go exploring, yoI
scouts?
Exploring doesn't necessaril,
mean a dash toward the north polk
in dog sleds and return through
cold and hunger and hardship tt
spend the rest of your life giving
lectures or writing magazine ar
ticles.
But before Daniel Boone could
find, follow and remember the trai
over the mountains to Kentucky he
had to learn exploring in the woods
and mountains about his home
Zebulon Pike and ]. c. Fremont
making at West Point before they
could make those successful explor-
ing trips into the west and north
west which opened the way to the
settlement of the larger portion OF
our country.
Just so, the boy scout must learn
exploring around his own home be-
fore he can tackle the more diff
cult problems. When you get out
into the open you will quickly
learn the distance and direction if
you bear in mind the distance and
direction of each from some COM
mon point-the headquarters of
your scout troop for preference.
How To Make Maps.
The next step is to learn to
make a map of the country you
know.
Follow me over the rough skatch
map which goes with this lesson.
I'm not an extra good map maker,
but it will give you an idea of
how to work.
Starting at No. /, where Gala
hans cabin is indicated with cross
lines showing 1t is built of logs,
We steer east northeast, about half
a mile, to No. 2. use "whiskersi
to indicate hills, one set OF
"whiskers" to each 25-foot rise,
The length of the longer "whisk-
ers" indicates the steepness of the
climb and the shorter ones show
the top of the slope.
From No. we can see that part
of Paddy's lake drawn in solid
lines and the opposite ridge run
ming down to 1t. The lake LOOKS
to be about mile south southeast,
so we'll draw 1t in that way and
put In the opposite ridge, the
swamp, so much of the tote road"
as we can see and John Mornings
frame house, half a mile south of
us. We might as we'll roughly
round out the hill we are on and
indicate the swamp north of u.s.
Keeping on our course mile
further-we are walking over
very rough country and keeping a
sharp lookout for game, so we'll
figure about half an hours walk
as a mile--we get to No. 8. Here
a deer has come up out of the
swamp and seems headed south
west. Before taking up its track,
let's line in our course so we can
find It further on. The high hill
at No. 5 c,tn be seen fer a long
way IN every direction, so we'll
keep that In mind
It's poor policy to follow close
on q deer's track 50 when we get

Would Tax Bachelors
TO Help Poor Jews
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-To raise
fund to send Jewish immigrants
from unhealthy tenement districts
to farms, the Young Mems Asso-
ciated Jewish Charities of Chi
cago today proposed graduate
tax" on bachelors 80 years old
or over. The plan as outlined by
George w. Alschuler -. has met
with favor among Chicago Jews.
According to present plans the tax
is to be increased s. for every five
years the bachelors are older than
30-the limit. Accordingly a
bachelor so years old would pay
500 q wear tax.

all the rich in that country are
called "fat men"-rave and
threaten all sorts of dire disaster,
but the legislative grind goes on.
Thus the laborites have clap
ped tax on land that will make
those old earls and dukes and
lords in Great Britain and the
monopolists at home squirm az
they pay into the federal treas
ury for the privilege of collecting
rents or engaging in land specu-
lation. And it is only the begin
ming of land reform.

Ito the other side of the ridge we'll
walk on a bit and then turn due
south and cut the trail again. At
No. a we find the trail and a
might bed"-so we know it's an
old track and give it up. Mean
while we've located bit of swamp,
and seeing the hill we picked as
our landmark, go straight for 1t.
From No. 5, at the top of this
hill, we can see upper Elbow
lake, where we were to meet
Paddy-the-Bird. We might as we'll
sketch it in. You will see by the
"whiskers" that we are up an
other 25 feet, so in all, so we can
take a good look around.
Doing this we discover a smoke
rising north northeast of us, at
No. 6. Paddy has already hunted
over the country, here, has found
nothing and has built a fire to
keep warm while waiting for us.
Joining him we make our way 10
the Elbow river. Here's where
we want to be careful.
How far is this river from the
east northeast course we have
been holding? Just about half a
mile in a straight line. Vrey
we'll, we'll sketch in as much of
it as we can see to sesve as a
starter for what we may find later.
The scketch around No. z ex-
plains itself.
Turning down the Elbow river
toward home we find we are run
ming west southwark, so the river
is parallel to our course out and
a half mile distant from 1t.
So, for two miles, we have an
easy time of it. Steep banks to
the north and swamps to the south.
go down on our map. Then comes
a bend from west southwest to
south southwest.
The rapids further along we
will indicate cy cross lines-one
line for every foot the river drops
and the distance from the first to
the last in proportion to the length
of the rapids. Below we strike
country we know and are soon
home. Dotted lines fill in parts
which we didn't see, but guess at
from other things in view.
Try mapping the country COW
cred on your next hike. It's good
fun.

ARTISAN WATER ..
 DEVELOPED ON VERDE
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Reliable advices were received in Prescott yesterday that atesian water had been developed in the Verde Valley. on the ranch of Scott and Williams. near Cottonwood. and about half mile from the postoffice. The discovery is oceasiOning considerable excitement in the valley and in Je- rome and for the time being all in terest in oil lands has given way to it. The flow was demonstrated a few days ago, but the volume was limited. and oOzed from the bore at irregular intervals and in limited quantities. When the drill reached a depth on Monday of 250 feet, how ever. there was a decided increase in the flow, which came boiling out of the hole at lively rate and reaching point over two feet above the surface of the ground. Measurements of the flow were taken and it was eonservatively estimated at ten min ers' inches or 75 gallons a minute. Drilling still continues, and the pur- pose is to gain greater depth. The casing in the well is down 135 feet, and will be completed to the depth decided upon.
 Preceding this exploitation for ar tesian water. drilling has been under way in that section for over a year, but with only occasional efforts. This is the first artesian water discovered in Northern Arizona. and it promises to be the beginning of a new era in the district where it has been sue cess fully demonstrated. Other places at a higher elevation and out of range of the gravity flow through the irrigating ditches from the Verde river and to be bored at an early date
