OPERATING COST OF IRRIGATION
PROJECTS FALL ON HOMESTEADERS

Washington, May. 26 The cost of
operation and maintenance of the
government irrigation projects, until
fully paid for by homesteaders and
transferred to associations of settlers,
must be borne by the homesteaders
themselves through assessments ac-
cording TO decision handed down by
the supreme court today. The de-
cision reverses the ruling of the lower
courts.
Enormous expenses in the reclama-
tion service in maintenance of the
great federal irrigation projects hinged
upon today's decision. The federal
courts of the northwest decided Uncle
Sam must pay the costs ana could not
levy assessments upon the water users
until their contract to purchase the

arid land and water rights was COM
pletely paid up and the projects them
selves turned over to the homestead
ers.
d. p. Baker, a settler on land in
the Sunnyside reclamation project in
the Yakima Valley of Washington,
brought the test case. He enjoined the
reclamation service from assessing
taxes to pay operating costs of sup
plying water to his land while it is
being operated by the government
and before he and other settlers ac-
quire absolute title to the property
and authority to operate the "big
ditch" themselves. The lower federal
court held that the government must
pay such maintenance charges out of
the general reclamation fund.

 In a. communication today to Sloan, Seabury and Westervelt, attorneys for Davis, the attorney general says:
 T have given the application and sworn complaint of your client, H. A. Davis, a large amount of study and consideration before finally determin- ing what was my duty in the prem ises.
 While I have some doubts as to the sufficiency of some portions of your complaint justifying the relief asked for, still, considering the con- plaint as a whole and all the allega- tions contained therein, there are raised some debatable questions which, under some circumstances, might be deemed to constitute a va- cancy in the office For that reason I deem it is my duty to make the ap- plication for quo warranta proceed ing that you request, and same will be filed in thee curse of few days. Should your client desire it, shall be very pleased to have your firm as- sociated with our office Sin the mat ter.''

According to a report made public today by the State Corporation Com mission S2,S27, ,599.91 was collected in Arizona by insurance companies between January 1, 1912, and June 30, 1913. In the twelve months of 1911 the premiums totaled $1,S01,- O99.93,

Advices reaching Clifton this week are to the effect that the Navajo De velopment company, an association formed some time since, has succeed ed in selling bonds to a large extent, and will soon begin the building of a steam railway from some point on the Santa Fe railway, probably at Holbrook, to the northern regions of the White mountains, for the purpose of gaining access to the enormous quantities of pine timber in those regions.
 It is stated that this company has contracted with the national govern ment for the purchase of s250,O00,000 feet of pine timber, and the timber to be cut is included the Sitgreaves and Apache national forests, and in the parts of the White Mountain In dian Reservation All this timber is in the northern portions of the White mountains, and is said to be one of the most attractive propositions in timbering in the United States, the

FACILITATE HOMESTEAD
 ENTRIES.

For the last year or more public
 lands in the Western States have
 been designated by the Secretary oi
 the Interior as subject to entry un-
 der the so-called enlarged-homestead
 act, or the 320-acre homestead act,
 only on petition of those who desire
 to avail themselves of the provisions of this law. This procedure was an
 outgrowth of the desire of the De-
 partment to designate no lands which
 were not actually enterable under the law in question In order to ac- complish this end the status of each tract had to be investigated to deter mine whether it was already entered, was a school section, was involved in a state selection, or for any, other reason had been taken out of the class of 'unappropriated" public lands which alone are enterable un- der this act This search meant that with the meager force available greSS could be made in the deSigna- tion of lands for entry under this
 Soon after the passage of the act lands had been designated for entry under it in body without regard to their status, the only questions de- termined by the Department prior to deS1Snat1On being that the lands were surveyed, unreserved, and non irrigable. Under this mode of pro- cedure designations can be made with ieam parative rapidity, the avail ability of the lands for entry being determined by the applicant when he visits the local land office to file up on his claim. After the abandon ment of this early procedure the law was extended to apply to North Da- kota. The rule of designation by petition has been followed in that state, and the resulting delays have proved embarrassing both to the De- partment and to the citizens of North Dakota, as well as to those of other Western States.
 At the suggestion of Senator Gron- na Secretary Lane has recently de cided to revert to the earlier practice and designate the land in large bodies after it is determined that they are as required by the law. He has accordingly issued appropri- ate instructions to the Geological Sur vey, which is charged under the De- partment with the preparation of the lists of land enterable under this law This change will have the eff feet of greatly expediting the design ation of lands under this law.

FEED IN YAVAPAI COUNTY
 ScARCE;, FEEDERS MOVING.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oct. 2O.-Et is probable that more cattle will be shipped out, of Yavapai county this winter than ever before. This is partly because of the dry summer which left feed somewhat scarce, and partly because of the high prices of fered by buyers.
 Among the shippers are Stewart & Stephens, H. c. Cavness, James John- son, M. A. Perkins and George H. Barney.
 The Mount Hope Sheep company sold 12 double deck sheep cars of sheep to Porter brothers, of Phoenix It is said that the value of the ship ments made in the past seven days is at least $80,00O.

W. H. THOMPSON. OF B|SBEE HERE ID
 ORGANIZE OWLS,
Institutes Prosecution Against Weav- CT, Who FrauduIentIy Represent
 ed Owl Lodge Here.

MT. w. H. Thompson, of Bisbee and president of the Owl lodge at that place, arrived in Clifton last Sunday
 for the purpose of completing the organization of the Owl lodge at this place, applicants sufficient in number
 to form a lodge having been secured
 some weeks ago by MT. Thompson
 and H. Weaver, the latter decam mping
 with sevreal hundred dollars secured
 from applicants.
 MT. Thompson learned after work
 ing several days in Clifton with Weav-
 CT that the latter had no authority to
 organize a lodge at this place, and this week instituted criminal pro-
 ceedings against him by making com
 plaint to F. V. Horton, district at torney.
 MT. Thompson became associated
 with Weaver in Lowell, suburb of Bisbee, Weaver organizing a lodge at Lowell, having authority from the head nest" of Owls for the organiza- tion, but never securing authority for organizing elsewhere. He and MT Thompson came to Clifton for the purpose of organizing here a lodge, the latter not knowing that Weaver was without authority. However, af- ter several days with Weaver here, MT. Thompson became dubious con- cerning his probity, but too late, for Weaver had secured about eight hun dred dollars from applicants, and without warning left the town. The agreement between the two was that both should share equally in the proceeds on securing applicants, but Weaver so managed the collection of application fees that MT. Thompson was wholly defrauded, receiving no portion.
 A search is now, being made for Weaver, and the charge against him will be vigorously prosecuted in the event of his apprehension. ~> . MT. Thompson wishes to inform all applicants for membership in the Owl lodge at this place that the lodge will be duly organized, on the evening of Monday, November IT, at 7:30 at the Eagles Hall, and that the dedication of Weaver will not in any manner in- juriously affect any applicant, the loss of the amount being embedded by Weaver being borne by the head lodge at South Bend, Indiana. Ap-1 plication for membership will be ac- cepted upon the presentation of re- ceipts showing the payment of money to organizer.
 It is estimated that probably one hundred and fifty applications were received for membership from resi- 1ents of Clifton, Morenci, and Metca1f in the lodge to be organized at this place. MT. Thompson is optimistic the success of the lodge to be organized, the number of aplpi- l ,ants being such that strong prog .esS is assured

 George Day, Levi Young, James Cashion and number of other Salt River valley buyers are purchasing cattle and shipping them to this coun- try. Thousands of head are going to Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho.
 More, cattle are being bought by the Cudahy Packing company than any other concern. This country is buying cattle and shipping them to California to hold till 1915, when the big expositions will attract hundreds of thousands of people to the Pacific coast. The Cudahy buyers are per ticWarly anxious to get young cattle but are not passing up any that they can get.
 Though the last summer was dry one the cattlemen of northern Ari- zona were never more prosperous. They are getting prices for their cat tie that they never dreamed of ask ing two years ago, and prices are go- ing up steadily.
