Notice is hereby given that the lands described below. embracing POI .6l acres, within the Coconino National Forest. Arizona, will be subject to settlement and entry under the provisions of the home- stead laws of the United States and the act of June II, 1906 GA Stat. 233), at the United States land office at Phoenix, Arizona, on March F, 1913. Any settler who was actually and in good faith
 claiming any of said lands for agricultural purposes prior to January l, 1906, and has not abandoned same, has a preference right to make a homestead entry for the lands actually occupied. Said lands were listed upon the applications of the persons men tioned below, who have a pref erence right subject to the prior right of any such settler. provided such settler or applicant is quali- fled to make homestead entry and the preference right is exercised

TO MUCH TRUTH IN THIS

In reply to our article on a national organization of country newspaper men, the Nogales Oasis says:
 There is little hope of getting together the country newspaper men upon such a proposition. There are too many influences of different natures to permit 1t. To go over the list of facts that inter fere to prevent united action among newspapers would make a catalogue that would fill an ordi- nary newspaper.
 In Arizona not only do the country newspaper accept meagrc remuneration for their space from foreign advertisers and advertising agencies; but they resort to cut throat tactics in the home field.
 The only way for a self respect, ing newspaper to do under the circumstances is to refuse all over lures for advertising space whether from home advertisers or from foreign advertisers and agencies, unless they accept the price. That has been the policy of the Oasis for years, and it is beginning to win. Recently the Royal Baking Powder company has signed up contract with this newspaper at our own price, which is the same paid by the Nogales merchants. It took several years to bring the Royal to time; but they came finally. When they learned that the Oasis could get along without them they found that they could not get along without the Oasis.
 The Sun has followed the plan mentioned by the Oasis for the past four years. We do not be- lieve of making flesh of one and fowl of another and if there are any favors to be shown it is to our home patrons. Advertising is just as much a commodity as groceries are and the value de. bends on circulation-not on any thing you can get. It costs money to set type and use up presses, paper and ink. Many an adver- tising agency has paid our price when they knew they had to.

Col. C. w. Harris, adjutant general of Arizona, during his trip north, was interested in finding out whether state laws amounted to anything when they conflicted with the Santa Fe rules. He dis covered that at Holbrook and Winslow the Santa Fe won, but at Flagstaff he won and was able to ride the limited train. Strange how easy it is for some to ride the limited regardless of the rules, while how exceedingly difficult it is for another to even approach that train without solemn warn- ing to keep off. The question is still to be solved as to whether Arizona was created for the Santa Fe or whether the Santa Fe was built afterwards.

It looks after all, as though the government had taken a leaf out of the railroad companies book when they made separate stamps for the parcel post. Thousands of dollars will be paid out for wrong stamps and lost by people putting postage stamps on parcel post packages. By this same method or practically the same, railroad companies flch thousands of dollars every year in the sale of tickets by rules circumscribing their use. A stamp should be a stamp, good for its face value; a railroad ticket should be good to bearer for it's cash value. Texas has law that comes nearly cov- ering the case, and it would seem that Arizona could put law on the statute books that would com pell railroads to honor every ticket they sell regardless of the name, complexion and previous condi- tion of servitude of the holder.

While in the hands of the dem- ocrats at Phoenix, we leave The Sun in the hands of MT. w. ]. Wright. If you want any little old law made while you wait, just send down the "makin's." The more "makin's S" you send the longer we'll stay away, for there's no time limit on the legislature, except the condition of the state treasury.

The Sun is glad to note that the rest of the Northern Arizona papers are coming alive on the good roads question and are put ting the facts before the public. We need lots of publicity to get people east and west enough in- terested to even investigate the different routes. If we can get them to investigate we win.
The Coconino sun., 1913-01-31

Just because the Santa Fe thinks we are such riff-raff every travel ing man who makes Arizona, or nearly all of them, have requested their houses to ship all goods over any old road possible except the Santa Fe. Of course this is real diabolical on their part.
