WATER POWER TO BECOME USEFUL

At last the Department of the Interior is awaken ing to the necessity of all water powers in the west being put to some useful purpose, and, instead of refusing to allow private firms to install power plants on umavigabIe streams, is indicating to in- terested parties the most desirable places for such plants and is aiding them with permits and import ant information Arizona has many important rivers and mountain streams available for water power and could readily use the electrical energy generated With cheap power many mines now idle would be put to work, and many splendid valleys could be brought under the rejuvenating influence of irrigation.

A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
TO THOSE WHO FEEL POOR

TO THOSE WHO FEEL POOR
 I write as your brother
 We large family.
 This wOrld-war made in Germany, against which we are fighting, has sent incomes down and our expenses up.
 The pinch hurts but it is not going to kill us. z We still have enough and something to spare Though we feel poor, don't let us be impoverished by selfish fear!
 Let us save in food, in service in clothes, in lux uries and jOy-rides-but not in money!
 Let us use that by giving it to save the wounded, the suffering, our friends, country.
 Let us keep Christmas this year by keeping up the Red Cross.
 Then it will not be a poor Christmas, but rich Christmas to our hearts.-Henry Van Dyke in Col Hers.

THE IRREDyCIBLE MINIMUM

President Wilson has ordered that beer shall have not more than 2H per cent alcohol and now comes the prohibOnists with proposition that there shall be no beer manufactured Between the devil and the deep sea are the brewers. If Wilson's views not accepted they may go to prison, and if the prohibit tiOnsts have their way they will to prison if they follow the orders of the president. .- .-
 If the prohbitiOnists would investigate the patent medicines and near beers, well the other "sOft drinks" they would find things far more injurious than the products of the breweres to the human system.

WHY OVERLOOK MOHAvE COUNTY?

The Miner notes with regret that Mohave county has no place in the perspective of the State Bureau of Mines. TechnOlOgists geOlOgists and mineralO- gists are sent out through southern and central Ar zona, but not one of the representative gentlemen shows his face in this county, for that matter in any county of the north. The counties and places that need no aid advice have both aid and advice freely handed out by the bureau and of paper and lush stories of the camps of the south given to the public If the bureau is state institution expect it to know section in it's work, else it may have time convincing legislators of its right to state aid.

DEATH PENALTY FOR BooTLEGGERs

Mexico is putting the ban on bOOtleggers in a way that may deter even the bOldest pedders of the dent from going into that country with their mer- chandise. The penalty of being caught is death. This is really the only enlightened law that our Mexican neighbOrs have enacted since that benghted land entered the ssterhOOd of republics bOOtlegger is not necessary to the economy of the nation and therefore the shooting of few of them will not create goose pimple on the surface of the body polite.

NEW MEXICO SUES INTERIOR DEPARTMENT

The State of New Mexico has commenced an action against the Interior Department to restrain the Sec retary of the Interior from cancellng school land lectiOns. The lands in dispute situated in a tiOnal forest, but alleged to have passed to it prior to the establishment of the forest The condition prevails in Arizona and any action in respect to the New Mexico case will be final in the matter of school land grants in Arizona. Years ago rule made in the matter of school grants in California, which have been followed by the depart ment, and which rule is sought to be set aside.

BUY HYACINTHs TO FEED THE SOUL

Greek mythology attributes to the hyacinth beau tiful sentiment of heaven-bOrn purity. Out of this sentiment grew the poetic cOuplet,
 EIf thou of fortune be bereft,
 And in thy store there be but left
 Two IOaves,-sell one, and with the dole
 Buy hyacinths to feed the soul"  The Red Cross was heaven born. Its object is not only to feed the starving souls of but also to feed and clOthe their bodies Its representatives have been angels of light every battlefield in ev- cry place where human misery dwelis. The whole world should unite in Red Cross work for the pur- pose of aIIeviating the miseries of humankind and make the world as near unto the brotherhood of man as pOOr frail humanity be brought to that goal The women and men working for Red Cross mem bership should be received with open arms, and if you have not the membership fee give them words of cheer and GOd-speed.

COPPER PRODUCTION IS
TON IS
 GREATER THAN NEEDED

Copper producers of the United States have ad- Vised the government that while normal conditions have not been quite established in the copper pro- dHcng regions of the west an ample supply for all needs of the country is being mined Only 65 to 70 per cent of the present output is necessary to the needs of the government and the balance can go to domestic consumption and export. In the event that greater supplies needed the mines and smelters can be readily speeded up to meet any abnormal de- nand. No request has yet been made for increased price for the product and it is not thought that the present fixatiOn will be disturbed.

OUR BOYS AT THE FRONT

Proud and grand They marched away, Our own brave Khaki-clad array, To a foreign land Across the sea, To meet the hOrdes Of Germany. They heard the call From sea to sea, These stalwart Sons of Liberty; No foe can check them Till they see A bruised and bleeding world Set free. The German dragons Doom is sealed; No more his butchering arm Shall wield The sword of slaughter, Tears and blood, For soon this surging Khaki flood Will sweep him From the field. God praise our khaki hero band Who are braving death In a foreign land; Their flag unfurled, Red, White and Blue, Our love, our prayers, Are all for you.

TO SEND REPRESENTA-.
rIvEs TO IMPORTANT CON-
FERENCE IN PARIS.
PLANS TO BE LAID FOR
ALLIED SPRING DRIVE
General Pershine, Admiral Sims and
Ambassador Sharp Probably VIII Be
Selected to Represent Washington
Steps to Be Taken to Aid Russia
Big Task WelI Started.

Washington Oct. 16.-The admin
istration has under consideration the
assignment of American representa-
tives to the political and military con-
ference about to be held by the entente
allies in Paris. 1t Is probable that
General Pershing. Vice Admiral Sims.
and Ambassador William G.. Sharp will
represent the United States.
At this conference the United States
and the allies will take stock Of the
military and political situation and
map out a program of policies govern
ing the preparations for the great
spring drive of 1918, In which the
American troops will receive their bap-
tism of fire.
Prepare Help For Russia.
Russian delegation will be attend
ance to discuss the measures that must
be adopted If Russia is to be recreateu
as an effective military factor in the
operations next year. The aid that can
be furnished to Russia by the United
States, Japan. and England during the
winter Of military inactivity on the
eastern front will constitute the eX-
terna1 and the attitude Of the kerensky
government, the internal Russian ques-
ton.
Tactics of the spring anti-submarina
campaign are also scheduled for dis
CusSion by the naval officers in the al
lied conference. Despite the recent
slump in submarine destructiveness
none Of the allied governments is so
optimistic as to believe that the sub
marine menace has been abated. Ger
many is known to be short Of torpee
does, but probably will have replen-
ished the supply by spring sufficiently
to renew the campaign with vigor
that will prove costly to the allies.
England and the United States,
however, will he much better prepared
to fight submarines next spring, by
which time a considerable number OF
additional American and British de-
strovers and submarine chasers will be
in commission.
Ships, Ships, More Ships.
Probably the most vital question 10
be considered relates to the desperate
need of freight tonnage by the unlteo
States and the entente allies. Shlps'
ships, and still more ships are no less
imperative today than when the United
states entered the war six months ago.
The United States is the only one OF
the allies able to increase Its output
