JOLLY CROWD AT
ANNUAL BALL

1t was good from STRAIT to fin
ish the Fourth Annual Ball Civ
en- by the Ladies of the Macca-
bees, Hive No. 10 last Wednes-
day evening was attended by a
large crowd of dancers, most OF
whom stayed until the sweet
strains of Home, Sweet Home"
were played at 2 a. m.
Promptly at 9 p M, the cou-
pies formed for the Grand March
which was led by Mrs. J. Downs,
one of the members of the lodge,
accompanied by her oldest son,
Benjamin Following them were
Mr.. and Mrs. Bledsoe. followed
by at least fifty other couple.
The music was proclaimed ex-
cellent by all, and doing away
forever with the idea that the
people of Winslow must have
out of town talent whenever
they have a big dance. The or
chestra consisted of four people;
Mrs. Hansen at the piano, Prof.
Ellis, trombone. Mr. Andre, bass
vol and Roland Showalter as
drummer.
The supper was served about
the midnight hour and was very
much enjoyed by the crowd.
There was an abundance ofgood
coffee, cake and Sandwiches,
enough for all and portion left
over.
Financially the ladies of this
popular lodge never did better
then they have at this dance,
consequently much qualification
over the outcome.

TO THE WATER
CONSUMERS OF WINSLOW

The City Council have received
through the Office of the Division:
Superintendent E J Gibson. tele
gram from /. L. Hibbard Gener-
al Superintendent of the Coast
Lines, in which Mr.. Hibbard
states that the company have
been engaged for some time in
efforts to increase the water sup
ply for Winslow, and that they
are bending every energy to that
end, and trust before very long
to have the supply increased SO
that every consumer will have
sufficient for their wants.
Division Superintendent Glib
son informs us that he is now
inaugurating a water train for
the purpose of bringing some 90
thousand gallons of water daily
into the town for railroad use,
thus, increasing the supply from
Clear Creek for the use of the
city.
We therefore ask the people of
the town to be as economical in
the use of the water during the
stringency as possible and in this
way, what water we have will
be conserved, and aid all city
consumers to pass over the time
necessary for the company to
arrange for the promised increase
in the water supply.

COPPER PRODUCTION
BREAKS RECORD
Advance Statement of the Final Figures
Of the United States Geological
Survey for 1911

Survey for 1911
The United States Geological
Survey hasjust issued an advance
statement OF the production of
copper III 1911. This statement,
prepared by B. S. Butler, gives
the final figures of production as
made up from reports from all
the reduction plants. The pre-
liminary estimate of the smelter
output of the country, issued by
the Geological Survey January 2,
1912, differed from the final 6g-
ures by but fraction of l per
cent.
The total smelter production
from ores mined in the United
States was 1,O97,232, ,749
pounds. This is the largest pro
duction in the history of the in
dustry and compares favorably
with the output of l ,OSO, ,159,5O9
pounds for 1910.
Arizona again heads the list of
copper-producing States with a
production of 3O3,2O2,5 ,532
pounds, the largest production
ever made by the State. Monta-
ma is second, with 271,814, ,491
pounds; Michigan third, with
21S,1 ,236 pounds; and Utah
fourth, with 142,34O, ,2I5
pounds.
Large Increase In Alaska
The most notable gains were
made by Alaska and Utah, the
production of Alaska increasing
from 4,311 ,O26 pounds in 1910
to 22,3l4,S89 pounds in 1911,
and that of Utah from 1875, 1885,
ass pounds IN 1910 to 142. $40.
2l5 pounds in 1911.
The States showing the most
marked falling off in output were
California and Montana. The
former decreased from 45, 76O,-
200 pounds in 1910 to 35, ,S35.-
651 pounds in 1911, and the lat.
ter from 2S3,O78, ,473 pounds in
1910 to 271,S14,491 pounds in
1911 In California the decrease
was due to difficulty in controll-
ing smelter fumes; ir Montana it
was caused by voluntary curtail-
ment due to the condition of the
copper market.
The total production of refined
copper from primary sources,
both domestic and foreign, was
1,433,875,O25 pounds IN 1911,
compared with 1922, ,O39, 1876
pounds in 1910.
In addition to the copper pro-
duced from ore total of 214,-
100000 pounds was recovered
by the treatment of old copper
and brass. copper and brass
scraps, filings, clippings, etc.
The consumption of copper in
the United States for 1911 was
apparently some what smaller
than in the previous year, but
the amount exported was con-
siderably greater, so that the
stocks of refined copper held in
the United States were material
ly reduced.

new KIND OF PUBLIC
LAND WITHDRAWAL

latest piece of practical conser-
vation. The President, by Execu-
tive Order, under the withdraw
al law has withdrawn from en-
try many tracts of unapproprr-
ated public lands which contain
springs or small streams. These
watering places control the pub
lie range over large areas in Utah
and Wyoming and the withdra W.
al of these lands will in no wise
interfere with the use of the
springs and streams but will in
fact insure the possibility ofpub-
lie use. Control of watering
places by strong private interests
and the resultant monopoliza-
tion Of grazing on the public do
man are believed to be prejudici-
al to public interest, and the
President regards the setting
aside of these watering places for
public use as serving a distinct
and beneficial public purpose, in
harmony not only with the let
ter but with the spirit of the act
of 1910.
The three withdrawals already
approved by the President repre-
sent an aggregate area OF about
$4,000 acres in six counties in
Utah and Wyoming, and include
tracts of public land known from
the records of the United States
Geological Survey and the Gener-
al Land Office to contain 24S
springs and streams.
It is we'll known that III the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific
coast States there are many
large areas of excellent grazing
land in which the number of
places where water for man or
beast can be obtained is relative
ly small. Sometimes the shortest
distance between water holes"
is 10, 20, or even so miles. Some
of these watering places are
springs, some of them ponds of
alkaline water, some Of them
small streams flowing down from
adjacent hills or mountains aud
becoming lost on the edge of the
desert. The lands iii large part
support a growth of grass and
small brush which is excellent
fodder for horses, cattle, or sheep,
and as practically all these areas
are Government land they are
free range" for whoever may
care to Craze his stock thereon
However, stock cannot live with
out water, and unless watering
places are available to a stock
owner it is impossible for him to
utilize the range.
AS a result OF these conditions
it has come to be common prac-
tice in some parts of the West for
a big cattle or sheep outfit to OBJ
tain possession of the few scat
tered water holes in a certain
area and by this means to mono
police the grazing privilege al
most as effectively as if it actual
ly owned every acre of the area.
In consequence the small stock
owner has been placed at a seri
ons disadvantage and in many
localities has been forced out ol
business.
This practical development OF
the conservation policy in order
to prevent monopolization OF
the public grazing lands will not
only insure equal opportunity
under present conditions, but it
prepares the way for future legis-
lation. Should Congress at any
future time decide topass graz
ing law the retention OF these
watering places in public owner
ship will make the enactment OF
a satisfactory law possible;
whereas il the water should pass
into private hands the framing
4 4 f

main would be useless, because
the law itself would be inooera-
tive.
The present action will really
be beneficial to both large and
small stock growers, although it
will doubtless not be pleasing to
those who desire to exclude riv-
ais from the range by acquiring
the watering places themselves
The competition and struggle for
existance have in many places,
however, gro Nh SO keen that
even to the largest outfits the
strife has become burdensome,
and to some of them, at least.
the removal of one of the causes
Of contention by the reservation
of the springs and streams for
the common use of all will be a
decided relief. To the small stock
man who has been fighting for
existence and who has seen his
grazing area diminish year by
year as he has been barred from
this spring or from that stream,
it will be welcome news that the
Government has taken steps
that will at least make the com
petition fairer.
