CLEANING METHOD EXPLAINED.
Harrison Boyce Says Vitrfo1 Pickl-
ing solution Best for Radiators.

A great many motorists are at loss
to know Just what Is the best method
to employ for cleaning radiators.
On this subject Harrison Boyce, the
inventor of the motometer and an au-
thority on motors and motor heat, says:
"One method is to use a picking solu-
ton made up Of sulphuric acid. or vitriol.
as II is commercially known, the pro-
portions used being about the same. A
10 per cent solution viii be found to be
strong enough for all purposes Mix
with cold water by pouring the acid into
the water slowly. Do not reverse the
process as the effect would be disastrous.
The solution should be permitted to cool
before 1t is used. In order to note how
the sulphuric acid effects the brass or
copper of the radiator, draw of some
Of the solution from time to time, re-
filling with fresh solution. When 1t be-
gins to run clear. the work is completed.
and the radiator should then be flushed
thoroughly"

PROSPECT BRIGHT
FOR LAND LEASES

A delegation representing the Park
er Board of Trade met with John
S. Armstrong, chief of Indian allot-
mcnts, and 0. l.. Babcock, sllperin-
tendent of the Colorado River reser-
ValiOn, at the latter's home Wednes-
day evening and discussed the ques-
t!On of granting leases to settlers
On the unallotted lands of the reser-
vation.
1t was shown at the conference
with the government officials that a
large portion of the water now be
ing pumped into the bitches was go
ing to waste, and if this could be
utilized by settlers on the unallotted
lands it would not only be of great
benefit to the Indians, but it would
provide homes for many white people
at once.
In addition to this, it was brought
out at the meeting that by adding
another unit to the plant, which was
constructed for the installation of ad-
ditional capacity at a minimum cost,
approximately 5000 acres more could
be brought under the ditch
Mr. Armstrong was very much in
terested in the proposition of leasing
the lands, but was undecided whether
there were any regulations permit
ting the leasing of unallotted farm
ing lands. Provision is made for the
leasing of allotted farming lands,
and there will be a large acreage of
this class of lands ready to lease
| here very soon.
The matter is ito be put up to the
department at once by the board CT
trade through Superintendent Bah
cock, and definite information is
expected within the next two or
three weeks. In case there are no
provisions made for the leasing of
unallOtted lands, it is anticipated that
the secretary of the interior has
authority to make such provisions.

TAXATION TO
CAUSE FIGHT
THREE BILLS ON SUBJECT OF
MINE TAXATION INTRODUCED
IN THE ARIZONA STATE SEN
ATE THIS WEEK,

PHOENIX, March 2O.-A bitter
fight over the mine taxation question
was fOreShadoWed in the senate yes
terday when three widely varying
bills on that subject We're introduced.
No. 1862 and No 1853 were introduced
By =. B. Wood at the request of Chas
tax commission. No. 1862 embodieS
the recommendations made by Howe
and Miller in their special report. 1T
provides basis of assessing on net
end gross production which they
think equitable, and will raise the
valuation of all mining property in
The state to more than sos. OOO, 900.
No. 1863 provides for the Finlay
method used in Michigan of assess
ing mines on valuations fixed by an
expert. The principal objection is
that it will cost something like $50
900 a year to put it into effect
This bill was introduced with a mo-
tation that the commissioners recon-
lDend its passage in case 1862 fails
70 become law Objection was made
10 this notation. Sims and others pro
jHsted that that was not the proper
time to introduce the second bill.
Wood was given unanimous consent
to withdraw the measure, and he did
SO, though it still stands on the bill
clerks record.
Sims introduced No. 164, which pro
T!des that the valuation of a produc-
ing mine shall be 25 per cent of it's
gross production plus twice it's net
production and the physical value of
It's improvements. Patented non-pro-
1ucing mines shall be assessed for
500 an acre and their improvements.
Cnpatented non-producing mines shall
be assessed for their Improvements
alone.
1t is expected that the principal
fight On Sims bill win be the pro-
Dosal that non-producing patented
mines shall be assessed for only $100
m aC1e.
The valuation proposed by Sims is
exactly double that proposed by the
committee of mine owners that held
several meetings here and drew a bill
providing for the assessment Of pro-
ducing mines for 1919 per cent of
the gross production and 100 percent
Of the let output.

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Presi-
dent Wilson today issued a formal
'amatiOn convening congress i'm
extra session at noon on April 7.
The proclamation is brief and fol
lowed the form cOlsely. 1t stated
merely that, whereas, the public in
tcrests require it, congress will be
convened in an extra session by
order of the executive
The original date of April 1 was
changed because Democratic Leader
Underwood informed the President
that the tariff bills will not be ready
until April
Wilson pan? to point out specifi-
cally his wishes for the extra session
in his first message, which is now
being prepared. From talks the
peSldcnt has had with congressional
leaders, it is known that this will out
line the administration idea of how
the tariff should be revised and just
what schedules should be taken up.
II is also said that the message will
mention briefly the need of currency
at an early date and indicate the
purpose of the president to send a
special message on other subjects.

AN EARLY EASTER,

Easter, the time of rabbits and
new bonnets, falls this year on March
70, which OF course is Sunday. It
will not come this early again for
ninety-five years, or in 2OOS, a time
when most of us will have gone to
our reward
The last time the great Christian
festival came so early in the year
was 1856, fifty-seven years ago In
1918 Easter fell on March 20, the
earliest possible time it could occur.
Easter is known as movable
feast and the date varies from year
70 year. This ecclesiastical method
of computation is that it is the first
Sunday afetr the first full moon ON
CT after March 81 This is not the
Gull moon as it appears in the
heavens, nor the mean moon of the
astronomers, but an imaginary moon
that follows the real moon by two
CT three days.
The word Easter signifies a re-
awakening Or quickening to life
hence the celebration of the resmec-
on of Christ, and it usually occurs
in April 1t has fallen in March, how
ever, twenty-five times in the last
112 years, and will occur in that
month twenty times again this CEN
tury. Easter came on March 22 in
1861 and 1918. Easter will fall on
the latest date, April %, only once
this century-in 1943.-Ex.
