BOOSTING ARIZONA
 IN GOLDEN STATE

1C AAdIlOOpd OOunIy DOdIU Ol Trade has sent out the following letter concerning the work of the board in California, to all the boards of trade and commercial clubs in the state of Arizona. in order that the people of Arizona may be acquainted with the work that is being done by the Arizo- na Development board in induc- ing immigration to Arizona and obtaining the interest of other people in the growth. prosperity and future of the state. AN ALL ARIZONA BUREAU iN GAL.
 An office in Los Angeles has been maintained for about two years by the Phoenix board of trade. The office is doing splen- did work.
 It is located in the Chamber of Commerce Building. Los Ange- les. and the Los Angeles cham Der has been always favorable to our plan for advertising in their section. We believe the Caiifor- nia field is the best for our effort.
 We have a lecture every day. The subject of the lectures are Irrigation and ''The Salt Riv- CT Valley" one day, and the next day, Arizona for the Tour ist, the Settler. and the Inves- tor"
 We maintain an exhibitof pro ducts grown in the Salt River valley and we distribute litera- tnre from all parts of the new state.
 It has been suggested that now is the time for the state of Arizona to have a bureau. and that it should be under the di- rection of the several boards of supervisors throughout the whole state. In this way the field that we now fill could be considerably improved and enlarged.
 The present cost of the office is about $2, 2,500 a year. The work could be considerably in- creased and splendid results ob- tained if there was some increase in the amount expended. and if all the counties would cooper ate, the sum paid by each would not be large.
 Several of the commissioners of immigration in various coun- ties of Arizona have already an- nounced themselves as favorable to the plan for an all Arizona exhibit in California.
 The Maricopa county board of are ready to coop crate in any way which will be. for the interests of the state at large.
 We would like to have your on the best methods to handle the bureau should it be to an all Arizona office and on the plan suggested. AL SO he would like to have your ideas on increasing and enlarg- ing the work.
 Yours very truly,

 nix, Arlnona.

How to Mark Your Ballot.

There have been a number OF
changes 10 the form of ballot for the
primary election. 1t is not necessary
to vote for second choice, but you can
do 20 II you desire. The ballot IT,
arranged with two spaces for the Ky.
The law reads as follows: sss 81,
'Mark only your party ticket. You
may at your option vote for both flrst
and second choice In case there are
more than twice as many candidates
as there are positions. To vote for
person for flrst choice make q cross
(X) 10 the square to the right of the
name Of the person for whom you
desire to vote. You may vote for any
qualified electOr whose name Is not
printed on the ballot BY writing the
name Of such person thereon under
the appropriate reading and making
a cross Ky 10 the proper square to
the right Of such name. Do not vote
for the same person on arst and
second choice. After marking the
ballot hand 1t to the Judge to be
placed 10 the ballot box for votes.
Place the blank ballots OF the other
parties not marked in the ballot box
for waste ballots"
Another important change is 10 the
arrangement Of the names on the
ballot. Where there are two or more
candidates for the same Office the
names will be placed on the ballot
alphabetically on ballot No. ]; on
ballot No. the flrst name on the
list will be placed at the bottom Of
the list and the next name will ap-
pear at the top; No will be changed
SO that the next name on the list will
appear at the top; SO II there are -four
candidates for one Office each name
will appear at the head OF the list of
every fourth ballot.
The question has been asked re-
garding the vote for county commls-
sioners. as to whether each commits
sloner district elects their own COM
missioner, OF whether the entire vote
of the county is, to be counted for
each commissioner. There has heen
no change Ia the law IN this respect.
All voters or the county vote for the
various commissioners and the nomi-
nee having the highest vote Of the
I: county for this district will be elected.

Senator Borah today introduced
a bill supplementing the three-Year
homestead bill providing that the
rights of an entryman under the
old law shall not be prejudiced BY
his failure to elect under which
act he completes his proof. The
bill also provides that entrymen
under the. old law shall be relieved
from the cultivation requirement
Of the new law as to the second
year, but must show the cultiva-
ton of one-eighth Of the area Of
the entry at the time Of offering
proof. The interior department is
disposed to construe the law strict
ly as against those who entered
under the old law and Senator
Borah's bill is intended for their
relief. Senator Borah will submit
his bill as an amendment to one of
the big appropriation bills and ex-
poets it to pass.
