Examiner bid is nearly 40 per cent lower than that of the morning glory" the pet organ of the board.
 At the morning session Former County Attorney Clement H. Colman address ed the board on the merits of the bids and particularly as to the law and it was evident to all that the Examiner had won on all points.
 The only conceivable ex- cuse the board has for throw ing out all bids is for the pur- pose of considering a blanket bid of $3OOO for $2OOO worth of printing and possibly only $500 this year, and thus give it's pet newspaper another chance to bid.
 The taxpayers are also stung for another advertise ment and the morning glory" will continue to pub fish the boards proceedings, at so cents per double column

HAYDEN'S BILL DOUBLE
 OUR MINE OUTPUT.

That the Hayden bill to permit min- ing on Indian reserves, a measure that will add about 20.OOO,0OO acres to the mineral lands of this state, is in fail way to become law, is the informa- tion received from Representative Hayden by Attorney J. H. Morgan of this city. Interested in the measure, Morgan made inquiry and learned that having passed the house on September 4, the bill now stands a good chance of passing the senate, the opposition of number of powerful members of that body having been overcome
 Arizona will profit more than any other state-as, much, practically as all the others put together-by this bill, according to Morgan. There are now 19,551, 900 acres of unallotted Indian lands on the reservations, and to this land, the bill opens the way for the prospector and mine marker. It ap- plies only to the metal mining rights on such lands, however, so the oper- ation of the bill will not release to possible private development, the coal lands believed to be an important part of at least one Indian reservation in this state
 For long time it has been possible to graze cattle on forest and Indian reserves by payment of fees It is on exactly this principle that the mineral bill will work. Indeed, it was the fee or leasing feature that aroused the opposition of such men as Senators Shafroth of Colorado and Shoot of Utah.
 The prospector, who has located a tract of mineral land, pays to the in terior department for the Indian res ervation fund, p cents per acre the first year, 50 cents per acre for the second, third, fourth and fifth years and from that time on, $1 per acre per year. If the mine becomes a pro ducer, the fee then is to constitute per cent of the gross output, payable monthly to the Indian bureau.
 The bill, should it become a law, will double the mineral possibilities, and in time, the output of this state. This is the statement of MT. Morgan, who has had the subject under close study for quite a while.-Prescott

HAND TAX PAYERS
 RAW DEAL

The Yuma Daily Examiner has no disposition to condemn unreServedly the board of su- pervisors and harmony is de- sired at all times, but the present cry of the board for economy was shown to be hy- pocricy of the rankest kind when at the afternoon session today the board rejected all printing and publishing bids for no other reason than that the boards pet organ was the highest bidder on nearly all items and to avoid the alter native of giving the years printing to the Yuma Daily Examiner, which fairly won it, having met all require mentS.
 The acceptance of the Ex- aminer's bid would save the taxpayers many hundreds of dollars. The Examiner was lowest on most of the job printing items and should have been awarded the con- tract, but on publishing, the

the new project off in a business-like manner, placing the entire acreage on an equality and making it impossible for deficit in operation and main tenance costs, as is the case every year in Yuma Valley. Just as soon as the bill becomes a law it will then be possible for the private land own CTS on the mesa to organize themselves into an irrigation district" levy their assessmRpt, put that to vote and if approved the assessment can be col lected without trouble, just as they are now collected by the city or by the county for improvement purposes.
 If the bill does not pass and the pub lie sale of mesa lands does not bring sufficient revenue to pay construction costs, where are we? All the money paid in at once is refunded to the pros- pective purchasers and the whole deal is off-the law is dead! If the present bill passes we can go ahead and or ganize our own district and pay for 1t with our own money
 That's why I am so anxious to see the bill enacted, as I have previously pointed out in the Arizona Sentinel. have absolutely no selfish nor ulterior motive in view. l have chosen Yuma as my home. I want to see Yuma pros- per. l want to see the entire project prosper and it will prosper, even be- yond my own dreams, if we can but open up the mesa for orange culture. It will make every acre in the valley double, aye quadruple in value within the next few years. It will make the city of Yuma blossom like the prover- blal rose in the spring time, and gen. tie Annie will sing her sweetest song. But. unless this bill passes, as Judge King very clearly states, I trembIe at the thought of what may be the ulti- mate result.
 However, at this writing feel ab- solutely sanguine that the bill will pass.

age Of foodstuffs.
The Tribune Friday morning will

Governor Ernest Lister addressed
the following appeal to the people of
the State this week:
"A national crisis places upon eY-
cry citizen the patriotic duty OF i'm
mediately helping to sustain the
United States in the action resulting
from interference with our estab-
nshed rights and liberties.
Equally important with the need
for arms and equipment is an ad-
aquate supply of food for our nation
and the countries whose people and
institutions have been attacked by
an autOeratie government ignoring
the rights OF humanity.
Proper preparedness means that
enegetic atten.-on must at once be
given to producing as much as pos
sible from the land in both the city
and the country. The people of this
prosperous state have the opportun-
ity today of making a great contrib
ution TO the resources that will
strengthen the nation-by each man
woman and child undertaking in an
intelligent way to increase the yield
of food products.
THE man on the farm can be
leader in this patriotic service, bui
there is hardly person in any com
munity without the chance to grow
something for family use or the mar
ket."

vigorous protest from all sect

the commissioners against spending
any money this year for permanent
roads. Petitions are now being circ-
u!ated in various points throughout
the county, and are being signed
eagerly by taxpayers. who consider
expenditures for concrete roads dur
ing period when construction prices
are eyOrbitant and taxes burdensome.
as most unwise.
The petitioners Will appear in a
body before the commissioners. to ap-
peal in person to them.
The following is the petition that
is being circulated:
I'VE, the undersigned property
owners and tax payers of Whate, m
County, do respectfully petition your
honorable body that the consideration
Of all petitions for road improve
ments under the new Donahue Road
Law be deferred one year. or until
market and labor conditions have as
sumed a more normal state.
I'VE do this for the reason that
we believe that the need for these
improvements does not outweigh the
disadvantages II be, met in attempt
ing construction this year because OF
the high price of cement and other
road materials now prevailing, and
on account of the scarcity and high
price of labor and the further i'm
probability of contracts being com
Dleted according to the needs of the
respective districts affected"
Petitions in Lynden may be signed
at the bank and the drugstore

REPORTS FROM MARKETS SHOW
THAT HOGS WILL BE SCARCE

That even greater scarcity of hogs
and consequent higher prices will be
the rule this summer, is the predict
ion OF those best informed at market
centers. The present high prices have
tempted farmers throughout the L
nited States to sell their breeding
stock, and reports from Minnesota
indicate that the farmers of that and
surrounding states have practically
30 per cent fewer hogs for sale al
this time than a year ago.
If anything like the sane reduction
in available stock holds true through
the country, the scarcity of hogs VIII
become acute, and even the unprec-
edented prices now being paid Will
be considerably increased.

IDAHO DAIRNMEN GET FIFTY
CTS. 4 POUND FOR BUTTERFAT

WHAT is said to be the highest
price ever paid for buterfat in the
United States is now being received
by dairymen in Eastern Idaho. ].
X. White. state pure food inspector
reports that this week they are re-
ceiving fifty cents pound from a
Quite, Montana, produce house.
The shortage of hay in the east
end of the state is blamed for the
sudden advance in the price of but
terfat. Dairymen in the territory
tributary to Pocatello have been fore
ed to pay s35 ton for alfalfa, with
the result that cream is bringing an
unusual price.
