To Cancel Black Canyon Segregation


AS an irrigation district, the Black
Canyon irrigation project is practl-
.cally a thing of the past. The gov
ernment has given the state a limited
time in which to make a showing,
which cannot be made. At the end
of that time the segregation will un-
doubtedly be cancelled, and the land,
restored to entry under the public
land laws. Former entrymen, how
ever, will not be denied their rights.
The department of the interior has is
sued a notice to the effect that all
the entrymen who had relinquished
their entries in order to take advan-
tage of the irrigation district plan
can have them reinstated if they make
the proper application.

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville. December 21.-(Special) ] Raidng officers from the sheriff's office, assisted by the Huntsville police, made the largest haul in contraband liquors of the year last night when they found about SlGo0 worth of liquors in a barn severa miles south of the city. The liquor had been brought to this county on boat on the Tennessee river and hauled to a point about half way from the river to the city evidently in anticipation of a great rush of business for the Christmas holidays.
 E. T. Middleton, one of the best-known citizens of Huntsville. dropped dead Mon- day while working on the Tom Phillips place near Three Forks, several miles north of this city Heart failure was tse cause of death. He was engaged in moving house and his employees who were at work with him saw him fall thinking that he had stumped his toe. When he did not rise, they went to him and found that he was dead Mir. Middle ton had left home about daylight feeling in unusually good spirits after having apparently recovered from a severe at tack of la grippe. He was a house-moy- ing contractor and was member of several secret orders He is survived by his widow a son, Homer Middleton. and two daughters, Mrs. P. H.

CAMBRIA STEEL SCARED
TO NEW HIGH RECORD
Pennsylvania Steel Also Rose
Sharply-Electric Storage
Battery Reactionary

Overshadowing all else on the Phils-
deiphia Exchange today was the sudden
upbidding of Cambria Steel shares. The
company is understood to be estab-
fishing new high records in the mat
ter of shipments and earnings. The
shipments OF finished products are re-
reported to be at the rate of more
than 10000 tons n manth. or l,2000O
tons annually. which will beat the 1918
record of l,050,0O0 tons. Earnings in that
year scored a high record Of S7,579,s s13 For
the last three years Cambria has been
second only to the United States Steel
Corporation in the matter of shipments.
In its best year, 1918, the company showed
1885 per cent. earned on the stock.
In the late dealings Cambria crossed 81.
As vas to be expected. the rise was ac-
companied by talk Of the exercising of
the Frick option on the Pennsylvania
Railroad holdings at $50 per share. This
was followed by upbidding of Pennsyl-
vania Steel preferred and the revival of
merger gossip. Usually we'll informed in
terests, however, were more inclined to be-
ieve the upbidding of Cambria might be
for the purpose of facilitating the disposal
OF the $4,000 treasury stock at par.
Approximately $4,000 shares changed
hands today. At one time Pennsylvania
Steel preferred was up 3Is points from
Tuesdays final figures.
Belief that the dividend on Electric
Storage Battery would not be raised at
this time, coupled with a feeling that for
the time being at least the general bull
movement in the market had come to a
halt. was responsible for another out
burst of selling orders in Electric Stor-
age Battery on the local exchange this
morning, which carried the quotation
back about points, making a total re-
action of approximately 8 points from last
week top prices The selling. however,
was largely in the nature of profit taxi
ing, and was doubtless for the account
of a New York pool, at least in part. It
is worthy of note that all through the
recent rise Philadelphia mas been a seller,
while Wall street was doing most OF the
buying After selling down from "A to
