SACRAMENTAL WINE NOT
 ACCEPTED AS SHIPMENT

DOUGLAS. Aug. l3.-D uring the prohibition campaign last fall the st ate ment made by the "wets" that if the proposed prohibition law passed it would be impossible even to bring wine was laughed at and denounced as can ard, put out to scare people into voting acanst the prohibi amendment. But that very prediction has come true.
 About ten days ago. Father Gheldof, pastor of the Catholic Church at this place. finding that the supply of wine used in the sacraments of the church was practically exhausted. set about to devise a legitimate way to secure some He took the matter up with Attorney K, N. French It was understood that local county officials would not inter- fere with the importation of few gal Ions of wine 10 be used for sacramentai purposes.
 With this as a premise. the matter was taken up by Mir. French with Flu gene $. Ives, of Tucson. one of the brightest attorneys in the state. and chief counsel for the Arizona and East. ern Railroad. Following is the letter which Mir. Ives wrote 10 MT. French in answer 10 his inquiry. IL was receive d yesterday and leaves the matter in the made.
 Yours of July 30th received. have made inquiry of the railroad company and found that the railroads have given absolute orders to all their agents not to accept wines or liquors for any purposee.
 While there is a strong feeling that shipment for sacramentai purposes is not within the spirit of the prohibition amendment and not intended to be cov- cred thereby. still such shipments are prohibited under literal construction of the amendment. and the railroads .,;,l fake no chances. l know of nofh- ing that gan be done untiI some court passes upon the question.

MUCH OPEN LAND LEFT
 IN THE M'NEAl BASIN

 l notice in the Prospector cf August and also n the Douglas intrrua tioual an item h-aded 'McNeal Bssin Land Going Rapidly"
 This is d very misle ading article. and as lar as il refers lo the business done by me far from the truth
 am of ,hr opinion that United States Commissioners Henry Buemler will also verify what I say True we have had a few applications ny parties who want to lease or buy state lands, but all of the applications 10 the pres ent time k not a tenth part of what land the state has already selected in this county. with probability that they will select as much more.
 The laS' paragraph reads. This prac- tically puts an end to homesteading in the McNral Basin. and land owners are already asking more money for their patented land There age thousands of acres Df good land in the Sulphur Springs Valley still open iof entry owned by the United States. and al least TWO hundred thousand acres open for purchase or lease of state lands that have been selected by tn State land commission
