1000 FARM UNITS
in PARKER VALLEY
Survey of Reservation Begun the
Past Week From Lower End of
vaIIey-Estimated Farm Popula-
ton When Settled, About 10000.

The work of surveying and sub-di-
viding the irrigable lands of the Col
orado River reservation began the
past week Wednesday the U. S.
land office surveyors broke their tenn
porary camp in town and departed
for the lower end of the reservation,
from which point the will work
northward after establishing the cor
rect southern boundary line.
G.. P. Harrington, surveyor in
charge, and A. F. Huntington, topog-
rapher of Indian surveys, visited the
southern portion of the reservation
Tuesday to look over the country,
and plan the future work of the sur
vey.
1t is expected that the most diff
cult work will be in the lower portion
of the reservation, as the dense
growth of mesquite and cottonwood
offers many obstacles to the men in
the field. The eastern and northern
part of the reserve will be handled
with ease, except portions lying along
the river, where the brush is very
heavy
Until the survey shall have been
completed the number of acres of
irrigable lands can only be estimated.
However, one is enabled to arrive at
the approximate acreage with some
degree of accuracy. Aside from the
alnds to be allotted to the Indians ii
may be safely estimated that there
will be 100000 acres available to
white settlement and entry when the
reservation is opened.
This is to be subdivided into 40
acre farm units, making approximate
ly 1000 farms of forty acres each.
Estimating four persons to each farm
the Parker valley will have a popula.
tion of about 700 people when these
lands become settled.

bound to increase the city population
to about 10000 or more And this
will undoubtedly occur within the next
two years, provided there is no delay
in opening the lands. With state
hood and two senators and a con.
gresham there should be no delay
in getting the lands opened at the
earliest possible time after their sur
vey and subdivision.

she would be able to accomplish be-
fore the noon hour
Just about that time she heard the
shrill whistle of the Phoenix passen
ger train westbound, and wondered
whether an early morning special
was coming through. Looking at th-
clock she was startled to find that
it was exactly 1910 a. m.
1t is needless to add that Miss
Brown again sought her bed, and
blamed it all on the bright moonlight
which she mistook for daybreak
She was so provoked that the sun
was high in the heavens ere she
arose to do that early washing she
had planned the previous night.

further intimated that Pablo's room
was better than his company.
Then Pablo made some remarks
that would look bad in print, and
which aroused the fighting abilities of
Tatum to such an extent that he pro-
ceeded to pick up a board that was
handy and give Palo a hit over the
head causing a slight laceration of
the scalp. Then Pablo was impressed
with the idea that he was wanted
elsewhere and came up and filed a
complaint with Judge Moore, charg-
ing the said Joe Tatum with assault
and battery. When Tatum appeared
to answer the charge he also thought
he had sufficient provocation SO he
filed a complaint against Pablo for
disturbing the peace, ETC., and the

tract Notice.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 8-The sew
enth and last territorial fair of Ari-
zona was formally opened Monday by
Governor Richard E. Sloan, with a
brief speech made from the judges
stand.
+ Governor Sloan extended a warm
welcome to the patrons and visitors
of the great fair. He characterized
it as the most popular fair and the
biggest annual event of it's sort in
the great southwest He was round
ly applauded by some five thousand
people who filled the grandstand to

Many of the visitors to the fair
grounds have been in Phoenix for
every fair since the first one and
they are busy telling each other what
a wonderful gain this year shows over
the past good efforts. There could
hardly be a more fitting location any
where for such representative gath
ering as the Arizona fair should be
and is. The natural beauty of the
surroundings strike the visitor at
once; such sweep of many-peaked,
richly-colored mountains as could
hardly be surpassed, glowing with
Nd iDt1 hot oh
with every hour of the day 1t is
typical Arizona landscape that lies
before the visitor, a beautiful and
harmonious setting for the event that
more than any other draws together
all Arizonians in the friendliest ex-
ploitation of all the products of
this big youngest state.
The crowds during the week were
picturesque enough to tempt brush
bead collars and black hair of the real
Arizonians were thick at every turn.
A little group of Mohaves from below
Parker gathered Monday at the corner
of the mineral building with the son
of their hereditary chief in the center
In very good English he said that
their present chief, Manitaba, was al
so with them and that he meant
to see the big white chief of Arizona
before he went home.
This fair is going to make evident
to a lot of Arizonians how many new
things the state is doing successfully;
cotton growing, for instance; the
breeding of varieties of alfalfa, with
more LEAKAGE and hay value, the
commercial development of dates
which are now in bearing in Mohave
county a hundred miles north of her
county seat, and the growing of fruits
that have been regarded as curiosi-
ties for the yard or park rather than
for the mOneymakers orchard.

HERRICK WINNER
OF DESERT RACE
Takes First Money All Along the
Route From Los Angeles to Phoe.
nix-Dash Across the Desert Was
Full of Thrills.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov GA faint
smile cracking the cake of dust upon
his face, Harvey Herrick, who was
born and reared in Phoenix, drove his
big National forty" through the
gates of the Arizona fair grounds at
2:521a this afternoon. In that in
stant he became the official winner
of the Los Angeles-Phoenix road race
and the greatest automobile driver in
America. 1t needed only the winning
of this race to win him recognition
as the nerviest, brainiest racer in the
United States.
The Nationals running time from
Los Angeles was 20 hours and %
minutes.
Car, driver and mechanician showed
the effects of the long, greweling
grind over the most difficult and dan
gerous course that ever defied man
or automobile. Herrick smiled but
E. Swanson, the mechanician, did
not. After they had driven around
in front of the grand stand, circling
the half-mile track once, the big
Swede" seemed more interested in
the Nationals crank case than in
the cheers and plaudits of the i'm
mense crowd
Cheer after cheer shook the grand
stand while Herrick- sat and smiled
in a tired way at the photographers.
Swanson sat still under protest. He
wanted to get at the machinery
The time of arrival and corrected
time of the first four cars to reach
here follows
National, arrived 1:5114p. M, run
ming time from Los Angeles 20:22.
Franklin, arrived 2:35 p. M, run
ming time 22:54:35.
Midland, arrived 3:24:24, running
time 24:21:24
Buick Sixteen; arrived 3:12:35. run
ming time 26:26:35.
The dash across the desert by the
new route for the race from Los
Angeles was full of thrills and in at
least one instance death stared a
pair of racers in the face. But for
the chivalry of Roger Stearns, driv-
ing a Stoddard-Dayton, it is highly
probable that death would have
claimed at least one victim.
Stearns dashed out of San Diego
at sixty miles an hour and made
turn to find the Maxwell on it's top,
with Driver Clarence Smith and Me-
chanic Earl Fancher, pinned under
it. Fancher was unconscious Stearns
and Bill Harris, his mechanician,
tried in vain to lift the car Finally
some of it was cut away and Smith
crawled out. The three then re-
moved the car from Fancher who
was at first thought to be dead. He
was not, however, and was returned
to San Diego for medical care while
Smith, his car battered to pieces,
continued in the race. Stearns lost
the second place which he had held
behind Herrick, Ralph Hamlin taking
it as he worked over the Maxwell.
Hamlin beat him to the Ell Centro
control

dence they decided that the said Joe
Tatum was justified in his action and
turned him loose, and also that Pab-
10 had done nothing that would enti-
tie him to be fined so he likewise was
told to go and sin no more. J. O..
Phillips represented Joe Tatums side
of the affair.

The attendance at the chamber of
commerce meeting last Saturday
night was rather small, this being
the first meeting held since last
spring. The why's and wherefores of
number OF things were gone over,
and $25 was voted toward dragging
and fixing up Hobson Way west of
town.
A committee was appointed to
take up the matter of selecting a
doctor and a number of petitions are
being circulated to raise a guarantee
fund so as to secure to the doctor
the sum of 500 per month To make
the matter more clear the idea is
that we raise say from $500 to 81 900
and deposit it in the bank subject to
be drawn on by the doctor up to $100
per month or such amount needed to
make him an income of that amount.
any money he may take in each
month to be deducted from this
amount.
There is no doubt that the doctor
would make from $50 to SIS per
month or more, and If any of the mon
ey raised is not needed it will be
returned prorata among the subscrib-
ers.
The question of having a meeting
to which the ladies will be invited
was discussed and it was decided to
hold this meeting at the time of the
election of officers in January.

Hamilton, who is in cnarse of farmers institute and agricultural ex- tension work of the United States oe- partment of agriculture, was in Aupurh today, looking over the college and HIS facilities. Auburn will be the center or the educational campaign in Alabama.
 Dr Hamilton visited Auburn four years a 1o and today he declares that he was impressed with the marks of its progress and development. and with the improve ment of it's equipment and facilities for experimenting and disseminating informa- tion relative to agriculture.
 Dr. Hamllton's campaign in all of the southern states will consist in courses of lectures and literature on every subject pertaining to agriculture. horticulture, and farm economy. He will prepare short courses which will be given to the farm CTS of every community of all of the states. Experts will give the lectures and will supplement their advice and informa- ton with bulletins and other instructive literature, which also will be furnished by the Washington department. The first two courses probably will be in poultry culture and peach growing
 In each of the states the work will be laced in the hands of the center of agrl- cultural education, from which 1t will be urged in various methods In Alabams the work probably will be given directly to the farmers by the officials of the ag- riculturaI schools, the county high schools. and by the agents of the agri

To Increase Salaries

The bill to increase the salaries of cir cult judges and chancellors was next called. Mir. Mulsey said these officers were among the hardest worked officials in the state, and declared that he heartily indorsed the bill.
 Mir Burton protested vigorously against the passage of the bill, declaring that the increase of salaries would tend to ieopar- dize the varous school appropriations The Chambers representative said that tLere are various school principas in the state who do not make more than So1 or SEQ per month, and he stated that mem hers should be ashamed to go home and face their constituents if they increased the salaries of officials and jeopardized the interests of the schools
 MT. Mulkey again took the floor in favor of the bill. reiterating what he had pre- viously said in regard to the low compen- sation received by the judicial officers of the state.
 MT. Pesram said he favored the bill, re- ferrinc to the enormous expense which inc circuit judges and chancellors have to meet.
 This is a meritorious measure" said Mir Pegram and you can't back down on it on the grounds of economy. These iudges have not asked for the increase.

REVIVAL AT
 FRATERNAL HALL
Rev. McDaniel of Atlanta to Speak
 Under Methodist Protestant Auspices

The First Methodist Protestant church now worshipping in Fraternal hall on Third avenue is preparing for revival to begin April 2S. Rev. T. c. Casaday, the pastor, has engaged the Rev. c. B. McDaniel of Atlanta to as- sist him. MT. McDaniel is president of the Georgia conference and was for some years a member of the Alabama conference. He is a most successful ,revivalist and the people feel that they are fortunate to get him.
 This congregation is growing all the time. The Sunday school and the other auxiliaries of the church are doing a good work and the pastor is very op- timistic about the success of his work
 There are a number of Methodist Protestants in Birmingham and they are taking hold of the new organiza- ton in a way that is gratifying. They hold Sunday school at 10 o'clock each Sunday morning; have preaching at II o'clock, but just at this time they have no night service. They extend cor- dial welcome to all to attend.
