VOICE PRAISE OF
FRONTIER DAY FIESTA
(From Wednesdays Daily)

All the space of great American
daily would be required properly to
quote from the shoals of letters
expressing the qualification of the
thousands who visited the mile high
city Frontier Days.
From Vic" Hanny, who sells ev-
erything that is fit for men to wear
in Phoenix comes a breezy note
which serves to recompense the
toilers for their hard work in that
strenuous connection.
The letter is addressed to Secre-
tary Fraser and runs, in part:
well, no doubt the gang respon-
sible for Frontier Days is tired out.
However, the great success you
made of it is satisfaction enough
to compensate for the strain. Phoe-
nix people are loud in their praises
for the manner in which they were
treated and the splendid entertain
ment offered. No CUFF. either.

The object sought by this bill is to
make it possible for the settler TO
make hiss homestead a fit tplace for
himself and family TO live in before he
is obliged to take up actual residence
thereon. II gives him the opportunity
to earn the money TO improve his land
at the same time that he is making IL
habitable. So many eastern members
of congress are opposed TO abolishing
the residence requirement on home
steads because of thier fear that lands
would fall into hands Of spectators
instead of bona fide settlers that it is
practically impossible to get such a
measure through. This bill, while not
abolishing the residence requirement,
helps the settler to get over the OBJ
stacles which now trouble him most.
| am in hopes that 1t will meet with
favor from eastern members opposed
to the abolition of residence -roquire-
ment altogether and already have con-
siderable encouragement to that end.
Mr.. Sinnott has asked homesteaders
of this state to write him their opln-
ions of the new law. "And it will
help me materially" he says, =" in get.
ting the law passed, If the homstead.
ers will write me Of their hardships
and experiences on account of the
present drastic requirements"

Reports from different sources that
local apples have been sold at low
prices on the eastern auction have
been the source Of worry among local
crchardists, who have made inquiries
at the Offices of the Apple Grswers As
soeiatioo. Wilmer Sieg yesterday de-
MED the authenticity of such reports
and has proven to the satisfaction of
THAI such statements are erroneous.
"The statements that the Blue Dia-
mond brand Of the Association has
been sold on the rhilpielphia auction
market for the account of the Assoeia-
tion are absolutely false" says Mr..
Sieg. John b. Cancelmo. of Philadel-
phia, who for years has been a good
customer of the Apple Growers Union
and of the Association this year, made
purchases from us this year, all I. o.
b.. and paying as0fast as bills were
presented. He has perhaps made auc-
tion sales Of this fruit. but always for
his own account and not ours for tiH
fruit had slready been sold TO him.
MANY misleading statements hfvo
been made regarding the quality stand
point of the Blue Diamond brand. The
Blue Diamond does not denote quality,
but is the registered trade mark of the
Union. The labels carry the statment
as TO whether the fruit is choice, fancy
or extra fancy, etc. The bodies of all
| the brands are the same. The differ
ence appears only in the words that
denote the grade. Ii is unfortunste
that anyone would allow himself to be
misled as to the Blue DiamoM repre-
senting the highest quality OF local
fruit and that alone.
