Living on the Principal.

II there is one agricultural fact that
needs to be impressed upon the Ameri-

this country have been living. not upon

measure of apparent prosperity they
have had in favored localities has been
largely taken from their capital stock.

who was in the north and acting un- der his direction by wire recalled the land selectors from San Simon to Wilcox. A map of the section was prepared at the office of the land de partment together with other data re- garding the land, and with these En- gineer Koontz went to Fort Grant last Friday night The selections were promptly made, the papers pre- pared and filed yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
 After careful examination of the property at Fort Grant the old land commission reported to the governor that "the magnitude and importance of the property can hardly be realiz- ed" The ffty-hve buildings compris- ing the post were then appraised at $241,Sl0, while the cost of putting them in good repair was estimated at $23,725. In addition there are 2000 acres of land most of it sus- ceptible of irrigation, and valued at from five to twenty-five dollars per acre In addition to this land there are two school sections lying within the tract, which automatically revert to the state, making the total acreage 3,2S0 The school sections are in ad- dition to and not a part of the grant.
 The military post at Fort Grant, one of the largest in the southwest was established in 1872, when large garrison was kept in southeastern Arizona against the Apaches It lies at the western base of the towering Graham mountains, and overlooks the Sulphur Springs valley. The alti- tude of the site is little less than 5000 feet Since 1912 the old post has been occupied by the state in dustrial school, permission having been granted by the interior depart mcnt in anticipation of the filing of the selections by the state.
 The post is composed of $ build ings; most of which are still in fair shape. They are built around a par ade ground 675 feet square. The land, part of which is now under cultiva ton, is all considered susceptible of agriculture, there being good sup ply of water from the nearby noun tains.

RESUME DRILLING FOR
 OIL IN THE VERDE

 The Verde Valley Oil Company has been revived, and arrivals from the works near Camp Verde state that Fred Evans is in charge of drill ing operations. He arrived a few days ago from Tulsa, Oklahoma where he was employed in that line of exploration, and his familiarity with the business, and his former as sociation with this oil undertaking, $ regarded as good indication to- ward making a success.
 The present movement is being fl. nanced by Prescott shareholders, who are said to number over g, and funds are available for reaching q depth of 5000 feet, the old well be- ing about 1,2OO feet deep, when work suspended several months ago. Cas- ing and other material is on the ground, and it is stated no further delays will be encountered from lack of capital until absolute determina- tions are made. The reviving of this is creating considerable dis cussion in the Verde country and those interested are quite optimistic over the outlook.

YAVAPAI GENTLEMAN
 INVESTS IN FL PAS

Texas is one of the best States of the Union, and Fl Paso, as a prosperous metropolis thereof, ap- pcaled so favorably to me during my recent visit that I became an invcs- tor quite heavily in realty" said M. $. Hummer on Thursday, as he was preparing to return to his large range interests at Anvil Rock, in North western Yavapai.
 He also stated that Fl Paso is a splendidly managed city, and with it's liberal laws, its generous induce mcnts to attract investors, and above everything else its lack of freak laws, 1t presents inviting conditions to bring in capital instead of driving capital away It is a thrifty com munity and in the hands of men who are broadminded and liberal as against the narrow and radical. Speaking of Plummer's investments the Times has the following:
 M. s. Hummer, wealthy cattle man of Seligman, Arizona, thinks so well of Fl Paso and its future that on Wednesday Inc closed a deal for sixteen lots in Logan Heights addi- tion, the sum involved being over $3,O00, on a cash basis. MT. Plum mer also stated the cattlemen of Ari- zona were looking more and more to Fl Paso as the natural cattle mar keting and distributing center Much of the trade of our section that for merly went to Southern California now comes to Fl Paso, and I be- lieve it would pay the Fl Paso busi- ness men to run a trade excursion into Arizona after they have returned from their trade excursions into New Mexico You may also state Yava- pal cattlemen are strongly interested in Fl Paso, and if a packing plant was in operation here. with stable mar ket center established, they would make this city their sole market"

Feeder demand from Illinois and Iowa, and other corn growing states, will increase ma Idaho steers were here today, one load of feeders at $7.75, and one load ,arrying more flesh, around $815.

VERDE CORN CLUB
 MEMBERS ON THE JOB

CAMP VERDE, Aug. 13-Gener- al heavy rains in July came about the right time to give the boys corn and grain sorghum fields good soak ing. In most fields, though, the crops were too far along for easy cultiva- ton. Some of the club members, however, did the best they could with one-horse cultivator, realizing that it was important to kill the weeds, conserve the moisture and let the fresh air down into the soil The boys are wishing for another free irrigation from the clouds, which they stated would be almost sufficient to mature the crops. These free irri- gations also please the boys because no irrigation expense or water charge is entered against the club acre.
 Most of the boys, especially the corn members in the Verde valley, were disappointed with the stand they secured. They owe this to poor seed corn and are determined next year to import the best on the mar kct. Leland s. Parke, State club leader of the boys and girls club work and the Agent of the Univer- sity of Arizona College of Agricul- ture and the U. s. Department of Agriculture, cooperating, explained in his talk to the corn club members the advantage of pure-bred seed corn and described how corn was tested for germination and why it was i'm portant to butt and tip the seed corn ears; grade the kernels and test them thru the planter before the ac- ,ual field planting was made Mir. Parke hopes to return later, either in the fall or winter, and actually demonstrate the method of storing, ;esting and grading the seed corn.

ROAD WORK IN RISER
 NATIONS GOING AHEAD
(From Fridays Daily)

In reply to a resolution recently adopted by the Chamber of Com merce and forwarded to the Depart ment' of the Interior at Washington, in which better and more roads for Indian reservations in Arizona were advocated, E. B. Merritt, assistant commissioner of Indian affairs, states that the work is going along as speedily as possible.
 Merritt's letter was read last night at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, and in it he stated that no extensive work has been taken up of this character because his office, which realizes tHe importance of good roads as factor in the indus trial progress of the Indians, has been handicapped by a lack of funds During the last fiscal year the gov ernment has authorized $22,655 for the building of roads on Arizona In dian reservations. Merritt also says that his office expects to procure special appropriation from Congress, especially on those reservations where the area is so large that the annual expenditures are insufficient, except for maintenance and repair work.
 Another letter asking the appoint ment of five delegates to attend the International Irrigation Congress at San Francisco September 20, and ad- dressed to Mayor Timer hoff, was read, and if one or two delegates can be Sound they will be sent
 Ed Block will probably be appoint ed as a delegate te the American Min ing Congress, which is to be held in San Francisco beginning on Septem Der 20.
