Settlers May Adjust
 Rights on Reservation

On August Il, 1916, there was an Act of Congress passed autho- rizing the adjustment of rights of settlers on a part of the Maya jo Indian Reservation Tn the State of Arizona. The sad act of Congress is as follows:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That all lands which were occupied by settlers or persons who were en- titled to make entries thereof, and submit final proof under the provisions of the general homestead law of the United States prior to the hereinafter mentioned Executive order and upon the making and approval of the public surveys of such lands, said executive order being of date January eighth, nineteen hundred, and withdrawing from sale and settlement a tract of country ly1ng west of the Maya jo and Moqui Reservations Tn Arizona, and which lands were included in the said Executive order, are hereby excepted from the operations thereof, and such settlers are hereby granted au- thority at any time within ninety days from the approval hereof to make homestead entry of not to exceed one hundred and sixty acres of such land, and submit final proof of the existence of their rights at the date of such Executive order of extention. and patents therefor shall issue upon payment to the United States of the legal fees and pur- chase price, ''

Douglas-Phoenix Road Race

Now that the big Douglas Phoenix road race to be run on November 18th is assured, plans are going forward rapidly to make this the biggest event of it's kind ever held in the southwest, and from early indications it promises not only to out class all previous road races held in the state, but the number of entries and time of running it is expected that it will excel the famous Los Angeles to Phoenix Desert Classic.
 Secretary Shaughnessey. of the State Fair Commission. states that his office is literally flooded with inquires regarding the race and requests for entry blanks and conditions. With hardly an exception the desire is expressed to enter the track races to be held on the fair grounds Novem- Der 18th. To date he has been assured of one car from Yuma, three cars from Tucson, one from Bisbee, three from Douglas. two from Globe, one from Clifton, one from Miami, one from Lords burg, New Mexico, one from Deming, New Mexico, and four from Phoenix.
 The fact that this race is llm- tied to cars from Arizona, New Mexico and Texas only, elimi- mates the possibility of having to compete with the big, specially constructed racing cars driven by professional dryers and will give the local men an equal chance for the money.
 The present plans call for the race to start from Douglas at an early hour in the morning, the possibility of checking station in Tucson and finish on the fair grounds before the grand stand the same afternoon.
 Secretary T. D. Shaughnessy states that he will be glad to furnish any one wit'14nforma- tion concerning these events. and printed copy of conditions and entry blanks can be had by addressing him in care of the State Fair.

Northern Arizona Fair NewS
 Special to the News by G. M Sparkes)
 Prescott, Arizona, Oct. 4. Dur ing the Fourth Annual Northern Arizona Fair. Oct. 19. 20 and 21st, will be shown some of the most wonderful exhibits ever displayed at any exposition. From the counties of Apache, Coconino and Navajo will be ex- hibited the stock and farm pro ducts, while Mohave and Yava- pal will contend for honors in the Mineral Department. The purpose of the Northern Arizona Fair, as organized, is to cultivate and foster a closer social and business srelation between the residents and industries of the five Northern counties, compris- ing Mohave, Coconino, Navajo,
 Apache and Yavapai, in order that the varied different resour- ces of the several counties named, may, by proper exhibi- ton be more extensively adver- tised and a higher degree of competitive improvement stimu- lated. The splendid success
 which has attended the North ern Arizona Fair but tends to show how truly the spirit of the organization has been carried out.
 From an educational and en- tertainment standpoint, the 1916 Fair will eclipse any like institu- tion in Arizona, for the reason that in the Art Building alone, will be exhibited one of the most wonderful collections of paint ings in America today. This collection comprises twenty seven pictures, which has an in- trinsic value of $3O,000 and which formed the principal DOT ton of the Art display at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. These paintings are now on dis play in the Fine Arts Building in San Francisco, and will be shown in Prescott for the first and last time in the Southwest. This ex- hibition will be held under the auspices of the American Fedora ton of Art. and at the Northern Arizona Fair will be the only place in the entire Southwest. at which they can be viewed.
 Laddy Laird, one of the best known aviators in America. will make daily flights, absolutely guaranteeing to loop-the-loop at an altitude of 5.347 feet. This feat in itself is considered one of the most daring in the history of aviation. From the Navajo h. dian reservation will be display ed a complete exhibit of Indian work. including the novelty of viewing an Indian weaver and an Indian SilVersmith engaged in their tasks. For years, the Fair Association has worked to have this exhibition made and this privilege has just been by the Commissioner of Indian affairs.
 Over $2,000 will be awarded in prizes in the various departments and over $2.OOO will be hung up in cash prizes for the racing events during the three days program. There will be band | carnivals, auto parades, dancing, sports for the boys and girls, basketball and football | games and everything that goes to make up a frst-clas enter tainment.
 Thursday, October 19, has been designated as Mohave-Co- conino Day: Friday October 20, | as Nayajo-Apache Day and Sat urday, October 21. as Yavapai County and Childrens Day.
 The Northern Arizona Teach CTS Institute will be held in Pres colt during the Fair, with at
