UNFAIR DISTRIBUTION OF
 FUEL.

The Leipziger Volkszeitung an nounces that the amount of fuel as- signed ra Leipzig by the imperial ,commissary will no longer permit of deliveries to consumers of amounts I'D to 40 ctr, (hundredweights). If the most pressing requirments Of every household, it says, are to be covered, delivery can take place only in small amounts one after the other. As far as can be judged at
 the present time the satisfying Of really urgent needs appears as- sumed. But as consignments up to 40 ctr. tc some households preju- dices supplies to others, deliveries up to 5 ctr. only will be henceforth permitted. Any person having al ready received on a principal coal

St, Paurs cathedral will drop from seventh to ninth place among the worlds largest churches when Liver pool cathedral and the Church of st. John the Divine in New York are fin ished.
 The others are St. Pet'r'S, Rome; Mi Ian cathedral, Cordoya @thedral, Sc vile cathedral, Cologne cathedral and York minister.

 From purely architectural point Of view, St. Paul'S is fur more beautiful than St. Peters or, indeed, any Italian cathedral The dome in particular is the finest in the world.
 The chief fault lies in the fact that the whole of the exterior is practically sham. The inner dome is siNty-tiye feet lower than the outer.

 Practically the only sugar used is for sweetening coffee and tea, and this reduced to a minimum. There are no cakes heavily iced, no sweet desserts. Unsweetened rice cakes are a favorite. Fresh fruits are used for desserts. The only sweet be uses in any quantity i3 honey.
 Vegetables and fruits in season form the backbone of the Hoover menu. Hoover himself has eaten more watermelon than anything else this summer.
 AS to banquets-Hoover hates them. He never goes if he can es- cape. But the few he has attended this year have been primarily food conservation layouts.

the Chevrolet automobile, accompan- jed by c. S. Beck, Supt. of the Mo renci Water Co.,, made the trip to the Eagle pump station in a Chevro- let car. The long hill out of Mo- renci was negotiated nicely and the entire trip out and the steep drop into Eagle river canyon was made without trouble. The return trip however was more troublesome on account of the steps of rock on the Eagle hill and some assistance was necessary, but after passing this 40 per cent grade the return trip was comparatively easy. Juan is quite proud of his achievement and the many who have been over the road can conscientiously grant him all honors of making such a drive The dream of real passable road for auto mobiles into that scenic section will come true some day and the trip made by Montez shows that it can be done safely now. The few drivers who have reached the top of the Morenci hill have been given credit for excel lent driving, but all attempts have been completely surpassed by Juan Montez.

slowly and surely coming to the front, and in few years, bids fair to be- come one of the greatest miuing cen ters in the state. The size of the ore bodies in this district is phenomenal
 The New Cornelia has 100000 tons of ore already blocked out The Ajo Consolidated has about 2O,O0O, ,0G0 tons of high grade ore ready for min ing and treatment. The Ajo Cornelia adjoining the Ajo Consolidated, is des tined to be the next mine to block out large tonnage of high grade commercial copper ore. With these mines, and others, this district will very shortly become one of the great est in the state, fin ot in the west
 The AJo Cornelia property is one of the newest, but nevertheless one of the most promising properties in the disrict. It is to be developed both by shafts and by diamond drilling The surface is broken by great outcropping of high grade ore, and near one of these dikes, a shaft is being sunk. The company has decided to sink this shaft to depth of 800 feet immediately be- fore crosscutting. President Grant, who is in charge of the operations, ex- poets to reach the 800 level in about three months. Bunk houses and shops have been erected, and a good SUD- ply of tools is already on the ground. Rapid progress is being made, and the ore already taken out shows good values, with the percentage of copper increasing at depth. A number of ex- perienced men have visited the prop erty, and are invariably impressed with it's outlook.

OVER TWO MILLION ACRES
 FREED OF PRAIRIE DOGS

Albuquerque, N M, Feb. 25.- Over 2,000,00O acres of western graz ing range have been freed of prairie dogs and other range-destroying TO- dents, according to report just re- ceived by the District Forester from the Biological Survey at Washing ton. Of this area 767, 900 acres lie in or near the National Forests of Arizona and New Mexico.
 Prairie dogs destroy great quani
 titles of forage and convert large areas of range into barren wastes by digging out the grass by the roots Forest officers cite the Guadalupe
 Division of the Alamo National For est in southern New Mexico as an example. Nearly 100000 acres of this range are said to have been for merly overrun with dogs, but poison ing operations conducted by the Bio logical Survey destroyed nearly all
 of them. A marked improvement
 in the condition of both range and livestock was promptly noticeable. Poisoning operations have been de veloped along scientific lines to a point where the work costs only a fraction of the value of the increas ed forage production. J. G. Crick of the U. S. Biological Survey has conducted the work in New Mexico which has covered the worst infest. ed parts of the Alamo, Carson, Datil
 and Manzano Forests. D. A. Gil christ has been in charge of the work in Arizona where parts of the Co conino, Prescott, and Sitgreaves For
 ests have been freed of dogs.

Owen R. Lovejoy, of the National Child Labor Committee, has appealed to the Committees 5000 members to support this appropriation and says that since the time before adjourn ment of Congress is short the matter must be pushed in order to ensure enforcement of the law as soon as it takes effect.

UNITED VERDE
 OWNER AND ]. }.
Man Whose Mansions Stud Globe Be gan Life as Bull Team Driver.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 24.-Is W. A. Clark, mine king and former United States senator from Montana, over hauling John D. as the richest man in America?
 That's the word out here War prices on metals have enor- mously increased Clark's already fab ulous income.
 And the difference between Clark and Rockefeller and other American money monarchs is that Clark's vast holdings are practically in, his own name and that of his family. His intimates here say he could raise $1OO,OOO,OO0 in cash in "A hours out of his own storehouse of wealth, and that he is probably the only man in the United States who can. United Verde, the Arizona copper mine for which Clark recently refused $75 100000, is alone paying him monthly dividend of $2,000,000.
 His Butte properties, though com paratively small, also yield him enor- nous sums.
 Aside from the S5O,OOO,OOO loan he made France, the adopted land of his children, Clark has $20,000,0 loose change he doesn't know what to do with.
 A French syndicate wanted to pur cfase United Verde. ''The Old Man" as they call him here, said:
 Well, I don't want to sell Verde, at any price. Tell you what I'll do.You survey the property and pay me 10 cents a pound for all the ore actually in sight,
 1 When at 10 cents per pound, the actual ore bulked to the staggering fig of cen 000 000 the CVndin9tP gineers threw up their hands. And copper is today selling around 35 cents per pound!
 Clark has a S15,0O0,0O0 home on Fifth Avenue, a $10,00O,000 chateau in Paris where his children live, an- other palace in Los Angeles and the old home here in Butte.
 In New York the brass trust wanted to hold him up on the million-dollar fixtures for his Fifth avenue home, so Clark started foundry of his own, just for that purpose.
 Starting as a bull team driver, vendor of spices and baking powders, here in the early days, he got in on the first whack at the billion dol lar hilR' at Butte.
 Today at 76, he has mines in Mon tana, Arizona, California, Michigan, OWLS Iu6 OdlL 11dhO llliO LiOAAA DAsSN to Los Angeles, has oil properties in Wyoming-in fact owns tremendous properties in nearly every state. Every night he knows just what has happened during the day on all his holdings He gets reports from them ala bushel basket of tele- grams every night at the New York offices.
 His political fights in Montana and they have been on the theory that might makes right-have cost this super-rich man millions. It is from these political battles that Clark. says he has learned the philosophy to which he today E ascribes his remarkable energy and unfailing business acumen. q have learned never to worry, he asserts, "but to conserve my ener- gies. The result is that 1 sleep like a child when my head touches the pillow and I wake up fresh for any
 task.''
