LONDON, rGc. 16.--German war

of Hartlepool and Scarborough on the
North Sea. British war-ships We're
sent out to repel the invaders and a
naval engagement is now taking place
The Admiralty made the following
ment press bureau:
German movements of some i'm
portance are taking place in the North
Sea this morning. Scarborough and
Hartlepool have been shelled Our
flotillas have been engaged with the
enemy at various points"
Make First Attack.
The carrying out of the long ex-
pected German attack was the first
time that the British coast had been
attacked since the American war of
the revolution, when John Paul Jones
conducted successful forays into
English waters.

220 and 225 miles north of London,
just north Of the mouth of the river
Tees. Scarborough lies in Yorkshire,
about As miles down the coast in a
sOutheasterly direction from Hartle-
pool.
The point of attack lies approxi-
mately 400 miles from the Kiel canal,
where the German fleet was concen-
trated at the outbreak of the war 1t
was necessary for the German ships
to steam clear across the North Sea,
passing through mine fields and evad-
ing the powerful British patrol fleets
stationed all the way down the east
coast of England.
Show Good Seamanship.
The German attack upon the coast
of northern England is the boldest yet
attempted by the Germans The Ger
man naval men showed exceptional
seamanship in getting by the guardian
British fleet, feat which the fleets
Of Napolean were unable to accom-
plish.
The first intimation of the attack
came in the announcement from the
Admiralty, and the point of attack was
a surprise, for it had been believed
that the Germans would choose a
point nearer the southern coast.
Neither Hartlepool nor Scarborough
is fortified city, but large numbers
of British troops have been stationed
in their vicinity, as we'll as at other
points along the eastern coast Of
England and Scotland since German
foray became a possibility.
PopuIous Centers.

extreme extensive commercial trade.
Scarborough is we'll known resort,
being known as "The queen of water

series of terraces, rising one above the
other in a crescent from the beach.

He took us with him and showed us many different roads that had been put down fin many different ways and of many different materials. They all seemed to be wavy, wash.board like so 1t was continual expense in keeping them in repair, but stated that if we put down a concrete road with asphaltum top that We would have a good road always by repairing the top now and then. which would be very little expense.
 We visited the roads in Lanker- shiem and Van Nuys and also the state highway and thoy seemed to be in perfect shape. He gave us all the information possible, told us, how roads should be constructed and about what 1t should cost. We visit. ed these roads on the 20th.
 On the 21st we visited a number of streets fin Los Angeles. California, and they were doing repair work and we found the yhad to do most of the work on the roads that had not been made of concrete.

But the commission has the power to sell only l.000.000 acres and that m blocks of 160 acres. at auction.
 The commissioners say tlGt the laws should be passed giving them authority to file on reservoir sites and buy water rights for the States school land under irrigation projects that are already demonstrated to be successful. In several places schco' land Ia worth only two or three dol. lars an acre because no water rights nave been purchased for it. while the land all around 1t is productive and sells for s100 to sl25 an acre.

|RR|CABLE LAND
 IN THE STATE
Seven to Eight Million Acres Are Figured by the Land Commission - An Import. ant Resume

Seven to eight million acres of Atizoha land outside forest reserves ana Indian reservations, is reclaim. able by Irrigation. This is the estimate or the State Land Commission.
 The commissioners have now been m O. .ce long enough to have visited practically every township within inc borders of Arizona. They dec are hat the public has absolutely no concep. 'on Of the vast number of reservoir sites, or the area of land which can be GU tlvated profitably with pumped water.
 There are not hundreds of reser. voir sites but thousands of them only few have been withdrawn un. der the United States reclamation act Alcng every stream in the State is at least a sma site. the commission. CTS say, in some sections of dry" Ari. cha there Is more water If conserved by storage, than there Is land.
 Numerous sites are found along the Little Colorado. Gila and Santa Cruz rivers. One of the largest in the State Is on Bill Williams Fork There are several on Cataract Canyon. in Coco nino county. Several vast valleys in Mohave county can he irrlgatei from the Colorado or from reservoirs in smaller streams. Cochise county has many sites in the Swisshelm, Whet stone and Dragoon mountains. Green. lee has more sites than land. A biz concrete dam is now being con. structed at the junction of Granite and Willow creeks, few miles north of Prescott.
 In the Casa Grande valley water Is being pumped 100 feet for irrigation purposes. Prof c E. P. Smith, irriga. ton expert of the University of Ari. ons, says that 1t is now feasible to pump irrigation water 125 feet. There has been an astonishing improve ment in pumping machinery within the last few years. Engines now use the crudest fuels. This improvement is continuing and many believe that within ten years it will be possible to pump 500 feet.
 Opportunities for pumping along dry streams that have a heavy under. ground flow are being overlooked. The bed of the lower Gila. for in- stance. is dry great part of the year. but thousands Of inches flow beneath it's sands.
 Though the commission mas no .au- thority to file on reservoir sites in be- half of the State, it is securing as much land as possible below them. Large selections are being made con- stanty under the statehood enabling act.
