 The agreement was the result of n conference of democratic senators. The bipartisan idea was suggested by Senator Stone and while no vote was taken 1t was generally believed it would be accepted as a satls- factory compromise.
 In general terms, it meets the de- mands of the democrats. Their sug- gestion is for the selection of a sub committee to be composed of two republican senators who voted for Lorimer in the last senate. and two who did not; and of two demo crats who voted for him and two who did not, with the understand ing that in case of a tie vote on the admission of testimony it will be admitted.
 It is understood the committee will consist of Senators Dillingham; and Gamble, republicans; Fletcher and iohnstone. democrats; pro-Lorimer: and of Clapp and Kenyon, repuDii- cans Kerne and Lea, democratts anti-Lorimer.

COL. POWELL LOOKS FOR BETTER TIMES
 II
Believes Revolution in Mexico Will Help American h.
 tereStS There

Colonel l.. W. Powell, formerly manager of the Calumet and Arizona properties in the Warern district and stlll in charge of the Mexican operations of that company in So- nora, returned to Tucson yesterday from a trip to Nogales, says the Tucson Star. He is sanguine of bet ter times for Mexico and for the mining interests with investments there, believes permanent peace is at hand and that a period Of min ing activity will start as soon as the people of this country become sat isfied that peace is an actuality.
 When seen yesterday afternoon, Colonel Powell stated that he had beer nc further south than No gales, that conditions at the San Antonio, the largest of the C. and A holdings in Sonora, were such that there was DO occasion for him to visit the property at this time, and work was going on In a satis- factory manner. Later he will visit or some length.
 Asked as to mining conditions ih Mexico, Colonel Powell replied that
 
 set by the severe disturbances and in many instances were practically at a standstill. He stated that he expected no interference with the old laws on mine concessions and did not believe the proposed changes in government would work any hard ship whatever to foreign mining in terests, but that the work would go on as 1t had hefore the insur- rection, except that there would be a greater activity when investments began again, such activity being in. duced by the prominence the sister republic had attained through the political disturbances which would ghen peace IS restored, act as ad yertising.
 T look for a rather closer alliance between American mining men ir Mexico as e result of the recent dis turbances," continued Colonel Powell -I believe they will get together in a short time now and resume op eratfons. That in so doing they will work together and in harmons for the recent troubles should have brought home to them how closely their individual interests are reiatef to one another.
 Colonel Powell believes that ther' win be some excellent opportuni ties for investment and securing O mineral properties, as many will b' found to have been abandoned dur ing the recent disturbed conditions Some properties will be found t have been abandoned, while other that have not been worked for tn mast few months will be sold by own CTS at whatever prices they cal bring. It may be that such changes will put such properties in sSronge hands and so in the end work fo the best interests of mining | Mexico.

SAN SIMON VALLEY

self unsuccessful except on over flow land. where fair crops may be raised; but with a certain amount farming may be expected to produce good crops. In dry farming it is not so much moisture as conserving the moisture, and intelligent cul- tivation.
 Other towns
 In addition to San simon, there are two towns in this end of the sal ley surrounded by good land, and they will benefit by successful farming hereabouts-Bowie, Arizona, l6 miles west on the s. F., where main line passengers change cars for Globe, and Rodeo. New Mexico, 70 miles southeast.
 We therefore contend that here, within a radius of twenty-five miles, are resources and advantages which san not be duplicated in all the country. Time only, and means, and people, and the will to do, are needed to accomplish great things here

LARGE REDUCTIONS MADE

NEW YORK. May 3o.-The United states Steel corporation has decidei to make A re-adjlstment of prices. The action is in reply to the bomb shell thrown into the steel market last Wednesday by The Republic Iron & Steel company in announcing . cut in steel bars.
 Judge Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, gave out A statement tonight. The new scale of prices Is upon steel bars, plate and structural steel, black sheets, steel billets, teet hars. gal vanized and blue annealed sheets. The changes become effective June l Judge Garys statement says in part:

 The Land
 The land is not hilly or rough, but quite level. with just enough slope to make it right for purposes of irrigation. It is easily cleared, there being no trees on it-only shrubs--and Is usually quite free from rocks.
 It is government land subject to entry under the homestead act or the desert land act; and almost given away to all who will fulfill the easy conditions. You may take ne 100 acres under the homestead law and 100 acres under the desert land law, or 320 acres under ths desert land law. A woman is also allowed a filing Of 32O acres. The cost of filing on a homestead is sl7.75; on a desert claim of 160 acres, S43.00; On Q 320 acre desert cam.

Local real estate firms at tend to such matters and their fees for the service are reasonable.
 Land in the north end Of the valley where farming has been car ried on for several years. is already quoted at s2.50 an acre and will go higher. At Roswell, N. M.. in the Pecos valley-a case parallel to that of the San Simon valley-land Is said to be quoted as high as Si500 per acre
 On the Ist of May more than 800 entries had been made, but the valley is so. large that there is plenty of land left Three hundred entries of 32O acres if every entry man filed on 320 acres-which is not the easel would make only 96.000 acres, whereas. according to calcu- latiOns above there are 1,f20,000 acres Of land in the valley.

great deal more for feeding than the
fodder would have been, especially when
used for dairy cows.
