CHAMBER NEEDS MONEY;
 PAY YOUR DUES
(From Saturdays Daily.)

At the present time, there arc en-
 rolled as members in tine Yavapai
 County Chamber of Commerce, z24
 individuals and firms. This number
 represents the membership roll, re- gardlcss as to whether membership dues are in arrears or not,.a member always being considered as member unless written resignation is sent to the office. From this list, it can readily be seen that if each and every member would make an earnest ef- fort to pay his annual dues, that con siderable money could thus be ob- tained. Notices calling attention to the fact that dues for 1917 are now payable have been mailed by the treasurer to every member and the returns to date have been exceedingly gratifying. In fact, several members who for various reasons, had allowed their membership dues to lapse for hNC ohiA NNNh iiiiNN duu iOul NCdlS have not only paid up in full, but have pledged their active support and work for the new year.
 As was stated at Thursday nights regular meeting, an active canvass of the county has been made and spe- cial effort will be used to secure as much new timber for this years work as possible. At present in Prescott, alone, the membership committee has figured that at least 76 individuals or firms remain on the outside of the fence, who actually derive great f. nancial benefit from the work of the county organization. These individ- ualS or firms are now being approach cd by the members Of the membership committee, and it is the desire of the committee that through their efforts and personal appeal, no less than 50 new members be secured The com mittec IS composed of Dr. H. T. | Southworth, chairman, George Nils son, A. H. Powers, Rev. Joel Hcdg- beth. ]. s. Acker and Dr. C. w. | Pardcc.

LABOR LEADER OUSTED;
 FORMS NEW PARTY

MELBOURNE, Jan. II William
 NJ. Hughes, the Federal prime minis ter, was busted from leadership of the Federal Labor party at the recent caucus whcrcupon he left the meeting followed by g supporters with whom he formed a new Labor party. The ejectmcnt of Mir. Hughes were results of the bitter cleavage in the Labor ranks in Australia caused by his championing conscription for the pro sccution of the war and his proposals being defeated in the referendum.
 Not only did Mir. Hughes form a new party but he formed new gov crnmcnt from among the 3 members of the Federal parliament who had elected to stand by him in the crisis. and these new ministers were forth with sworn in by the govcrnor-gcn- cral of the commonwealth, Sir Ronald Munro Ferguson.
 During the campaign over conscrip- ton, Representative w. G. Higgs, commonwealth treasurer; Rcprcscn- tativc Frank c. Tudor, minister for trade and customs. and Senators Gar diner and Russell, assistant ministers, had resigned; and directly after Mir Hughes had been deposed as party leader. Representative King O'Mallcy and Representative Hugh Mahon, minister for home affairs and minis ter for external affairs, respectively, likewise resigned their portfolios. The personnel of the latest Hughes gov eminent is:
 Representative William NJ. Hughes, prime minister and attorncy-gencral: Senator George r. Pcarcc, minister for defense; Representative ]. A. Jcn- sen, minister for the navy; Represent tative w. A. Webster, postmaster general; Representative A. Poynlon, treasurer: Representative w. \. Arch : ibsld, minister for trade and customs: Representative r. w. Bamford, min . istcr for home affairs; Senator r. ! : Lynch, minister for public works; Representative W. G. Spence, vice president of the executive council; Senator E. J.

 Lee Belmont, manager of Tucker
 Business College, gave short, snappy
 to the point talk, outlining the work which is being done at the local busi- ness college. At the present time, ad- vertisements calling attention to Pres colts business college are being run in no less than l4 States and begin ming next week, ads will be carried in the Saturday Evening Post and Scribner's magazine That results arc being secured from this campaign is evidenced from the fact that seven pupils will arrive from New Mexico tomorrow and 3 from Georgia and Kentucky, Monday. Mir. Belmont further stated that the largest busi- ness college in the United States is located at Goddard, Texas, town with a population of but 13,0O0 and a climate extremely hot in the Summer. Considering Prescott's wonderful cli- matic advantages, Mir. Belmont makes the promise that by May lst, the sec ond largest business college west of the Mississippi will be located at Prescott When the school is finally iomiciled in its new quarters in Dougherty's hall. which has been thoroughly renovated for that pur- pose, a smoker or house warming will be given the chamber of com- nerce by the business college, and demonstrations made with respect to l he schools work.

AT CLARKOALE GET
 0FF W|THF|NE
MEN ADMIT GUILT, AND INSTEAD OF BEING BOUND OVER, PAY, AND GET AWAY QUICK.
(From Sundays Daily.)

i he course of justice seems to run
 very smoothly for the bootlegger over
 in Clarkdale. Here in Prescott when
 man is caught peddling wet" goods
 he is pinched and in due course of time taken before Justice of the Peace
 McLanc for preliminary hearing. If the evidence is strong enough the man IS bound over to the Superior court for trial and eventually must face jury of his peers in that tri- bunal
 But in Clarkdalc the system seems to be different, judging from an incl dent which took place there several days ago. Two men were arrested, charged with violating the prohibition amendment and halcd before the jus ticc of the peace. That dignitary asked them whether they were guilty or not guilty. They admitted the corn, and fine of Sl0O was levied on each. It IS needless to state that the fines were paid and it is also needless to state that the bootleggers immedi- ately lost no time in putting distance between themselves and the courts of Iavapai county. At last reports they were still going.
 The course pursued by the justice of the peace was not according to Hoyle, but perhaps was just as effect i've, and less expensive to the county Had they been bound over and sent to Prescott to await action it would have meant that the county would have had to feed them, not only for the time they were awaiting sentence but afterwards while they were scrv- ing their sentences. The mistake in law has nettcd the county not only S200, but saved it the board of these two gentlemen for quite a period It might not be bad scheme to just i'm pose a fine provided law violators of this kind promise to leave the State and keep away.

 knowledge Mir. Hughes leadership
 elected Mir. Tudor Cate Mir Hughes
 colleague ;n the cabinet as minister
 for trade and customs), its leader and
 proceeded to style itself the official
 Federal Parliamentary party. It also issued statement to the press in which it said that among other req
 sons why motion of no confidence in Mir. Hughes as the party leader was adopted was because he had branded those advocating no con scription as traitors in the pay of Germany, as enemies of their country and as being responsible for the policy of the I. w. w. in the commonwealth. These charges, the statement declared were unfounded and showed Mir. Hughes unhtness for leadership of the majority of the party"
 There arc thus two Labor parties in parliament each claiming to represent the industrial element in the country. The one-that headed by Mir. Hughes who IS yet prime minister-may be said to be made up not alone of the pro-conscriptionists but the moder- ates; and the other-that headed by Mir. Tudor-composed of militant trades-unionists. The portfolio of minister for external affairs was abol-
 shed by Mir. Hughes when he formed his government and the work which had attached to that department he divided between himself and the new minister for home affairs, Mir. Bam- ford. The only members of the old government besides Mir Hughes who Ire in the new one are Messrs. Pcarce. i Jensen, Webster and Russell.

FISH HATCHERY TO BE
 LOCATED IN ARIZONA
(From Sundays Oaily)

The house of representatives has passed an omnibus bill. authorizing the establishment of IS new fish
 hatchcries in the United States. The
 omnibus bill includes bill introduced
 by Carl Hayden, which provides that
 one of these hatcheries shall be To-
 cated in Arizona and $50,00O is au-
 thoriZcd to be expended for this pur-
 pose. It is expected that this bill will
 pass the senate in the near future so
 that the new Arizona hatchery should
 be in operation within the next IS months. It's establishment will great ly improve the facilities for stocking the ponds and streams of Arizona with suitable varieties of fish and thus develop new source of food supply which should aid in the present strug- gle against the high cost of living.
 It has been demonstrated that an acre of water on farm may be made to equal an acre of best land for pro- ducing food and the bureau of fish cries is cndeavoring to stock the min or posds, natural or artificial, in order 10 distribute fish food as widely as possible over the interior of the country.
 Assignments of fish by the bureau arc made large enough to form the nucleus for brood stock for a given area of water. and arc delivered at the applicants railroad station by special fish transporting cars. Pend ing the construction of the Arizona hatchery hngcrling fish from other hatchcrics for distribution to individ- uals for stocking public and private waters in Arizona will be supplied by the bureau of hatcherics to those who apply Blanks upon which to submit a formal application for fish will be furnished on request of Congressman Carl Hayden.
 That Yavapai county will be given in the selection of suitable sight for the new hatchery is . assured, last year the chamber of commerce furnishing data as to avail able sites, etc, to the State game . warden, from whom this request was received. Oak creek, near Flagstaff, has been mentioned many times as the appropriate location.

GOLD KING MINE ID SHOW SIGNS
 OF NEW LIFE
ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN GROUPS IN THE BRAD SHAWS TO BE LARGELY OPERATED.
(From Sundays Daiiy)

Among the important movements
 for the Bradshaw mountains, decided
 upon during the week was the placing
 of the holdings of the we'll known
 Gold King Mining Co.. in action for
 a system of large development, which
 begins at once.
 Before a decision was reached,
 President w. E. Toohey, of Middle
 town. Ohio, accompanied by A. C..
 McDill, of College Corner, Ohio, F.
 Herrod, of Lima, Ohio. and G. A.
 Brownlee, of Muncie, Ind, visited the property, remaining on the ground
 for four days to make an inspection and familiarizc themselves with con ditionS. Preceding this action, how ever, reports made by their superin- tendent, George Donncr, were so gratifying that complete reorglni- zation was effected in Prescott last Monday, when a new set of, officers was elected, as well was the board of directors changed to include the above named men and the following: Will Han Purcell, of Belfontainc. Ohio: William R. Conklin, of Middletown, Ohio: Edward Fisher, of Wapako- meta, Ohio; w. F. Anderson, of Mum cie, Ind, and Everett Mofitt, of Nun cie, Ind.
 The stockholders who investigated their holdings were agrecably inn pressed, and were unit in endorsing operating plans On large lines. The primary fact of the De Soto being on the Gold King belt on the north, the Nelson on the south, and the Swas- tika on the northwest, former trim ity of mineral conditions which arc attractive in view of all above mines now reaching to stage that com mandS very much attention. Another matter which favorably impressed the visitors was the showing made on their holdings from former develop mcnt which reached to over 6OO0 feet. in tunneling. principally
 The Gold King was first operated in 1904, but since that time there has been a remarkable advance made in mining in that field, from which the possibilities of that zone of the Brad | shaws have been materially enhanced 1 It is in appreciation of its attractive [ outlook that the Gold King has un- | dergonc complete reorganization on lines from which determinations made heretofore arc warranted.
 Another matter of importance was also mentioned by the visiting share holders, the railroad passing over the north end of the group, wood and water being abundant, and a mineral situation of high possibilities being n evidence. Mir. Toohey was one of Inc first to become interested in this property in 1904, and today is san yuine over accomplishing his aim .he making of another bonanza for he Bradshaws, in which new associ- ltc stockholders concur.

ITS DANGEROUS ID CARRY II
 ON YOUR HIP
WHAT? WHISKEY. TWO MEN CHARGED WITH TRANSPORTING BOOZE WITHIN THE STATE.
CFrom Sundays daily.)

Ever since the prohibition amend
 ment and the amendment to the amendment went into effect, the pop ular form of interrogatory salutation has been: Have you anything on your hip?"
 It now looks as though such greeting. if answered in the affirmat- i've is likely to prove more of trag- edy than a joke. It IS evident that these are parlous times and there are more strong kicks in that dry bone amendment than there ever were in the whiskcy that was showed across the mahogany to the man with his foot on the brass railing when the State was wet
 On the Sth of this month Police Officer McMahon arrested M. Rog- CTS and O. E. Soone. On each was found a pint of whiskey and the charge laid against them was violat- transporting liquor within the State. That gets pretty close 10 making 1t a crime when found in ones possession, that is if jury finds the duet guilty. The preliminary examination was held last evening before Justice of the Peace McLane and he reserved his decision until Monday If he binds the two men over for trial 1t will afford a test case and will doubt less act as a precedent in other like cases which follow.
 Down in Tucson the other day a man was pinched as he stepped from a house to the sidewalk and the same charge was laid against him which Rogers and Soone rest under The Tucson citizen had a bottle in his possession, which he admits having bought in the place from which he emerged. He refused to give the name of the bootlegger and the charge of transporting liquor within the State was lodged against him. it is the intention to strictly enforce the law. both in spirit and letter.
