LIQUOR LID IN
 ARIZONA THE TIGHTEST
(From Wednesdays Daily)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 With the exception of Arizona, there has never been state in the union which really passed prohibit ton law"
 This statement was made recently in an address by T. NJ. Gilmore, of Louisville, Kentucky, president of the National Model License League. He bases the assertion on the fact that liquor cannot be shipped into this state under the law He says that it is just as lawful for Kentucky or any other distilling state to ship whiskey, and for California to ship wine into Kansas, Maine, Oklahoma or any other prohibition state, save Arizona, as it is to ship such goods into states known as license states. The only thing forbidden by what is known as prohibition in these states is the sale and manufacture of liquor. He declares that the only reason peo- pie voted for these laws in states outside of Arizona was that 1t was made clear to them that the laws do not interfere with their having shipped to them for personal use any amount of liquor they may desire in original packages.
 The league of which this man IS president was termed eight years ago. Its object was the making of a thorough study of the prohibition movement and all questions pertain ing to the regulation of the Sale of liquors. Investigations have thus far been carried on in all the states of the union and in continental Europe, Canada, Central and South America.
 As a result of these investigations Mir Gilmore comes out hatfooted with the statement that the passage of laws which prohibit the sale of liquor does not discourage the drink habit but rather encourages it by prompt ing people to purchase whiskey, wine and beer by the case. Experience shows that when purchases are by the case the consumption, whether it be of liquor or of any other com modity, is always larger" declares this man.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
 MEXICAN TURMOIL
From Wednesdays Daily.

(From WednesdayS Dally.)
 F. L. Cannon, visitor to Pres colt from the Yaqui river region of Sonora, states the situation that faces the American and all foreigners, even including the Mexican, is quite seri- ous.
 The Indian has taken the whip in his hand and is driving all races out of the country, as well are all being stripped of everything to the smallest value.
 Cannon reached Nogales on foot. He had been with a California land company as foreman of a section. With him was Ernest Potter, who re- mained in the south. The latter stat ed he was a resident of Prescott sev- c.al years ago, and would return in a short time.
 The sudden change of the attitude of the Indians from a peaceful to a hostile state is due to the turmoil prevailing throughout the country, and the success one day of one wing of revolutionists and their defeat the next
 The visitor is to look at lands along the Colorado river country, leaving for Parker after he returns from the Verde valley to visit with relatives.

(From WedneSdays Oally.D (. C. Davis, one of the Wickenburg town councilmen, was in thc city yesterday on road business before the Board of Supervisors.
 The people of that section of the county are anxious for the improve ment of the road between Congress Junction, Yavapai county, and Wick enburg, Maricopa county and the only method of procedure is to have joint arrangements made between the Maricopa and Yavapai county supervisors as part of the road is in each county.
 Mir. Davis is very optimistic con corning the mining outlook in the Wickenburg district. He says that not only are the larger properties working and planning new and bigger things, but that the little fellows are also getting busy of late.
 He also said that Wickenburg is looking up. A weekly newspaper, the Wickenburg Miner, has recently been established in that place, which will soon be printed at home if the plans of the publisher fail not. The town has recently organized a board oi trade and business mems association and the future never seemed brighter to Mir.

FEDERAL LAW MAY sl2l,
 HOLD SWAY IN ARIZONA
(From -Friday's. Daily1

(From Friday S Dally.J
 Local sportsmen who are interest ed to see the game laws of Arizona made about right, if they are to be amended at all. seem. to think the six deputy game wardens which the federal agricultural department has requested State Game Warden Willard to appoint would make matters worse. Warden Willard thinks that the state law proposed in the legislature would come nearer meeting the situation in this state than the federal law. He says that it is more liberal The proposed state law would permit thirty days of white wing shooting after the birds are through nesting, whereas the federal law would protect them all the time they are in Arizona He says. how ever, that if the gun and ammunition dealers succeed in preventing the passage of the proposed law in this state, he will feel obliged to secure federal appointments for the state deputies and enforce the federal law to the letter The federal law pro- hibits duck shooting after February 1, while under the statutes of the state this sport may be carried on up to April 1. It is plain that the feder- al law fould take precedence, if en- forced, and debate among sportsmen is running high as to whether it is advisable for the state warden to ap- point federal deputies and enforce it.

STREET PAVING
 PROPOSED IN PRESCOTT
lkrom Thursdays Daily.l

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 A proposition is on foot to pave Cortez street a distance of two blocks, from the depot to the cor ner of Gurley street. Those behind the project have been working quiet ly for sometime, and yesterday it was given out that nearly enough property holders on the property abutting the street on the two blocks named have consented to the i'm provement to make it go.
 It requires the consent of ffty-one per cent of those owning property on a street before such street can be paved. The initiatory move nec- essary to ascertain whether street can be paved is to first secure the signature of five per cent of the property owners. After this is done the proposition can be legally ad- vertised, and after advertising the time is opportune for objections on the part of the other property own- CTS. If through this process fifty one of the owners give their con sent, the other forty-nine per cent must submit to the paving. Proper ty owners are required to pay for the paving half way across the street abutting their properties.
 Property owners on each side of the two blocks on Cortez street men, toned have been pretty well can vassed. and it is already known that more than five per cent of them will sign the papers necessary for adver- Using. In fact. it was stated yester- day authoritatively that there were very good prospects of securing the consent of the ifty-one per cent without much trouble A. J. Head is one of the largest property hold CTS in the district and he is in favor of the improvement. Mir Head is member of the city council and will have voice in the matter when it comes up before that body for ap- proval Asked about the project yesterday, Mayor Timerhoff was frank to admit that prospects were seemingly favorable, and said he ex- pected the council to have the mat for hef0re if very SOOn
 Is Principal Street.
 Cortez is the principal business street of Prescott. To stranger vis- iting the city for the first time, the two blocks which it is proposed to pave are the first which greet his vision after he steps off the train and passes through the depot and out at the south entrance to come up town To pave the street from the depot to Gurley would indeed give Prescott a metropolitan appearance from the depot Along this street there is probably more traffic than on any other in the city. Many of the principal business houses are here, and freighting from the depot to these places of business is ndt an easy matter when the roads are ftiud- dy, as they are much of the tifle this season of the year. Those who favor this paving have been -qdietly presenting their many afgumehts 10 others interested for some time, th- til now there seems to be something tangible upon which to say that prds- poets for the improvement ate. good.

The application by the manage ment of the Southern Arizona fair commissioners at Tucson for the use of the bucking horses owned by the frontier organization here at their fair has been turned down. The Prescott committee thinks that to have these horses used elsewhere would detract from their drawing value at the home celebration. The organization owns eleven head of the best bucking horses in the en- tire country, and before the next celebration is pulled off five or six more will be purchased.

COPPER WILL. co TO

(Frem fhnt..sdav,s bailxl


 C. Hamilton Avondale, a mining engineer of Hamilton, Scotland, is in the city in the interests of an English mining syndicate, and will remain here until the snow in the hills has melted sufficiently to enable him to make an investigation of a number of copper mining properties which he has on his list, the names of which are not disclosed. He thought yes terday that he would be here for a number Of weeks, but was reticent with reference. to the details of the business which brought him to this section, more than to say that the world was on the verge of the great est copper boom ever known and that large companies were anxious to ge: in on the ground floor preparatory to a time when he thought copper would go as high as 5 cents per pound.
 Mexico" he said, "is out of the copper plans ot all companies, owing to the demoralization of business in that country incident to the many revolutions which have swept that na- ton. Normally that country produces considerable of the red metal. The war in Europe is daily increasing the demand for copper, and by the end of the war the world will not be able to supply the actual necessities of the various nations. This means that the United States Is going to have an op- portunity to go her full limit so far as the red metal is concerned, and the wisest heads in the mining world are preparing for bonanza in this line"

the efforts of few disgruntled persons who,
prompted by their own failures tried to
disuade and discourage other members OF

It is pleasing to the Department, to the

association that so many Indians displayed

LAPWAI INDIA rs MAKING
PROGRESS

Lapwai, Idaho-The work being done by
government employees among the Nez Perez
Indians for their material advancement is
showing results. The increased acreage in
grain raised by the Indians this year, and
the new interest taken by them in stock
raising is noticeable.
A marked increase in the numbers OF the
tribe has occurred during the last five years
An annual census is taken by the agency
officials and it has been found that the Nez
Perces have increased 139 during the five
years past This is the more striking from
the fact that for Is years following the al
lotting of the Indians land in severalty, the
tribe decreased in numbers rearly 800.
The agency officials believe the gains nav
made in population are accounted for by the
greater interest taken in home improvement
Many Indian women are good housekeepers
and the officials of the agency are endeayor-
ing to make the practice of clean, well ven
tilated houses with pure water supply, gen
eral among them. A field matron and gov
eminent farmers are constantly at work on
these plans.
Paul Corbett and wife of Kamiah are ex
amples of the progressive type of Indians
They are now supplying the town with
blackberries grown in their home orchard,
and have sold about $50 worth of fruit
Mrs Corbett has in her cellar $50 quarts Of
fruit of various kinds which she has canned
for winter use. Their lands are we'll TILED
and they raise not only grain, vegetables
and fruit, but hogs and cattle. All of their
children of school age attend the public
schools
James Stuart is another example of a
progressive Nez Perez. He has just com
pleted the construction Of a business build
ing in KOOskia which is the best one in any
