A STRANGE MINING CAMP

It. seems odd to hear of booming
mining camp without a saloon; yet
nat is the situation at Oatman Ari-
iona, for Arizona is dry" state,
A correspondent writing to the Tono-
pah Bonanza speaks of this in tho
following paragraph:
The absence of saloons and the
saloon element is one of the most
interesting features of Oatman and
no cinnamon or negroes are allowed
10 land. which is another interest
Ing feature of the loyalty of the old
Timers to- keep the camp for the
white man. p%
THAT this is going to be bonan-
"a goes without saying. for the ore
ebelt is by II miles in demension,
and is immense. The country is rug
sed and mountainous. but the climate
is ideal and at the present writing
there are hundreds Of tents scatter
ed all over tn edistrict from this side
Of the Colorado river at what is call
ed Old Trails to Gold Roadsl Town
and buildings are being erected like
wild fire and the constant sound OF
the hammer is more musical than
the Tonopah band. Carpenters are
getting Sc per day and paper hangers
and painters aer getting all they
can and then some. Cafes until you
cannot see straight and good meals
are furnished at moderate prices.
Concrete hotels are in the process OF
erection in this camp and office
buildings galore. Many beautiful
hbmes ar ealready occupied and.
Others going up. Streets are being
graded and everyone is busy as can
be. All the handshaking is going on
at the corner grocery store or on this
street cones and the drys are uuench
ing their thirst at the soda fountain
consequently "old barleycom" cannot
get in his so-called fine work in this
district. The promoters brains
(that is some of them) are much
clearer and he is wearing smaller
hat"

has asked Austro-Hungary for peace,
and her request has been granted.
The unconditional laying down Of

terms imposed by the dual monarchy.
This announcement was made to
the Hungarian parliament by Premier

Of any belligerent from either of the
alliances that have been fighting

RIVAL FACTIONS
IN CHURCH RIOT
ONE KILLED AND MORE THAN
A DOZEN INJURED IN CLASH
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Knives, Revolvsrs ard Clubs Play
Prominent Part In Riot, Eleven
State Troopers Being
Among Injured.

Scranton, Pa.-Rioting between
rival factions at the Church of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus in Dupont, near

at least a dozen more. Knives, revolt
vers and clubs played a prominent

shot through the thigh, the bullets
severing an artery. Trooper Rois
Sumer OF Pottsville sustained q frac-
ture at the base of the skull and Jo-
seph Tinh of Dupont was shot through
the lungs. Neither is expected to live.
This church has been the scene of
half q dozen riots In as many weeks,
one faction Directing to the authority
exercised by Bishop M. j. Hoban OF
the Catholic diocese Of Scranton and
the other supporting him. Every
time newly appointed priest has
sought to hold services he has been
prevented from entering the church
by the opposing faction, but Sunday
arrangements had been made to say
mass under the protection Of the sher
III. who called on the state police. A
detail of dozen troopers was on
hand when services were to have
opened, but 30 forbidding was the
attitude OF the crowd that call wal
sent in for more troops and twenty
four responded.
Before the achievements arrived
the mob had attacked the hrst de
tachment and when the second reach
ed the scene most Of the damage hal
been done. A second riot ensued.

SMITH WANTS COrToNIEss ZONE
Proposes Bill to Check Advance of
Mexican Boil Weevil.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Creation of
series Of zones in the South in
which no cotton could be grown for
period Of one year as means t
checking and exterminating the boil
wcevil in this country will be pro-
posed in a bill which Senator Smith,
Of South Carolina, announced to-
night he soon would offer and urge
for passage. The Senator proposes
that The non growing area shall be
started in the extreme northeastern
limit OF the cotton section and grad
ually work southward and westward
in series Of zones 100 miles in
width each year until the entire cot
ton growing section shall have been
covered
The Federal government, Senator
Smith said. would be given the power
to police the zone to see thatth law
was observed and growers and gin
ners effected would be compensated
by the government. Experts estimat-
cd that it would cost $4,000, 900 a
year to maintain the boil weevil zone
In Alabama, which Senator Smith
proposed year ago.
The First Year.
The first year the cotton prohibit
i've zone would include the extreme
eastern portions Of North Carolina
and South Carolina. The next year
this zone would be released and the
non-productive area extended 100
miles and this rotation would be kept
up until the entire territory had been
covered.
"llighcst chronological authorities
have approved the zone system as
the only practical means Of extermi-
mating the devastating boil weevil in
this country" said Senator Smith.
"'rhe annual cost would be infinitesi-
NAL as compared to the benefit that
would be derived. Six bundled mil
lion dollars has been expedited to
eradicate the boil weevil IN this
country. but he still thriycs bid is
moving rapidly toward The jc.ls Of
North and South Carolina.
"The zone system not onli would
prove the practicability OF ttia me-
thod Of exterminating the bdi wee
VII, but by giving farmers tbnurtu-
nifty to grow other crops, wou IL DEM
onstrate whether the South h. sue
cessfully grow other food pr{ducts." !"

FIFTY THOUSAND FARMERS
Have Made Application for Loans Tn
der New System.

| washington, Dec. 7.-Onicials Of
the Farm Loan Board announced to-
day that more than 10000 farmers
have applied for mortgage loans ag-
greSating approximately $15O,000.-
| 600. or more than II times the
amount Of money which will be i'm
mediately available for loans upon
the organization OF the twelve farm
| loan banks.
Most OF the applications have come
from the South and West. They still
continue to come in by hundreds
every day. Requests for application
| blanks, contemplating requests for
loans to 1000 farmers have come
| from Iowa alone
Although the location Of the banks
probably will not be announced be-
fore December 90, it was said to-day
that almost Immediately after or
ganiZation the banks would find it
necessary to issue bonds for virtu-
| ally their entire capital stock to meet
the demands Of borrowers.
The rate OF interest on bonds is a
subject now engaging the boards at
tention. 1t is thought that it will
not exceed per cent, less than the
! rate charged for loans. Daily confer
enccs are being held by board mem
bers with bankers from various sec
| tions to determine the minimum rate
at which the bonds will be absorbed
by investors, as this will determine
the interest rate to be charged on
loans.
The board also is considering whe-
! ther the bonds shall be offered to in
diNidual investors or underwritten by
banking houses in sizable blocks. AS
the capital stock Of each bank is to
be only $750,000, repeated turnovers
OF the capital and frequent bond is
sues covering loans will be necessary
If all applications are to be taken
care Of.

among certain Southern cities which
want to be named as. the location Of

petitors were said to be New Orleans,
