Cropsey's Ruling Lifts
Lid at Plattsburg
Nine Saloons and Dance Hall
Near Training Quarters
Reopened
rstar CnrrrrntenvI

pLATTSBURG. Aug. Supreme
Court Justice Cropsey's decision de-
claring unconstitutional the closing OF
saloons within a stated proximity to q
munitions factory knocks the props
from under Colonel VOLTS Plattsburg
reform. The nine saloons and one
dance hall the colonel closed in twenty
five minutes the other day turned on
their lights and opened their doors to-
night. 49,,
The colonel won't disclose all Of his
plans in his campaign against the
dramshops, but he says he hasn't given
I'D his fight against vice. He viii APP
near in a local court Monday 10 sup
mort an action seeking the reclosing OF
the dance hall. For the present he has
detailed q guard from Troop |, I'd
United States Cavalry, 10 patrol River
Street, where the offending saloons are
situated.
The camp was busy turning in equip
ment to-day preparing for the home
going OF Tuesday. The first New York
train will reach the Grand Central at
1880 Wednesday morning. The forty
military Quitting establishments were
scenes Of activity, with the successful
men all trying TO be first in the rush
for officers uniforms.
Many were forehanded and Quilted
themselves in advance. Some, alas!
were too forehanded, for there are in
stances where men have laid out their
entire available fortunes in military
property only to find they received no
commissions This is particularly true
in the artillery, where the percentage
of failures was three times as high as
in the infantry and cavalry.
Major Hermann koehler, master of
sword at West Point, has asked for fifty
men from this camp to be detailed as
assistant instructors to Western can
comments.
Major General J. Franklin Bell ar
rived Unexpectedly to-day. He con.
ferred with Colonel Wolf, but would
mot discuss his uniggion

Water For Yuma Mesa

Washington, D. C. January 25. Congressman Carl Hayden has made good his promise to the people of Yuma by passing through the House the Senate bill providing for the irrigation of the Yuma Mesa. so that this measure will soon go to the President for his approval. The Mesa unit of the Yuma Reclama- tion Project contains about 40,- 900 acres of the best citrus fruit land in the United States, over 30, GOO acres of which are still a part of the public domain but withdrawn from entry at this time. The new Act provides that the Government lands shall be appraised at a minimum price which shall be sufficient to pay for the cost of constructing the irrigation works necessary for their reclamation and shall be sold to the highest bidder, pay ment to be made in four annual installments. Residence upon the land is not required.
 Oranges, lemons, grape fruit, dates and other semi tropical fruits have been successfully grown for a number of years at the Blaisdell orchard on the Yuma Mesa. Experience has de- monstrated that these lands are practically frostIess and of great fertility when supplied with water. The Government soi Survey of the Yuma Project shows that the mesa lands are free from alkali and that the drainage conditions are excel. lent. All of these facts being well known it is anticipated that a large number of purchasers will be present in Yuma wher the Secretary of the Interior an nounces the date of the sale The maximum area that ma! be purchased by any one bidde. IS 160 acres but. much of the lan( will be sold in small tracts. Tn, establishment of this new re clamation project means that a
 least $5.O0O,OO0 will soon be ad ded to the taxable wealth o Arizona. and that many nev homes will be established ol what is now waste land.
