(By Associated Press.)

VIZ I'OCClo4bSu L lSo'st
Seattle, Wash, Dec. 4.-Regions in
The Yakima valley Of Washington,
which were formerly The domains of
the rabbit and sage brush, have pro-
duced since The first of 1918 CONNER
cial crops valued at $40,000,000, ac-
cording 10 estimates made by r. K.
Tiffany, project manager in Yakima
for the United States Reclamation
Service. The lands were those irri-
gated by the government.
Under the Sunnyside and Tieton ir-
rigation projects alone there have
been 10000 acres under cultivation,
Mr.. Tiffany said, from which The crop
production realized-$15,000 000-has
paid two and one-half times the cost
of building both projects.
Now that the wa ris over, Mr. Tiff
fany believes The government will go
ahead next spring with the famous
high line irrigation project, which will
result in The reclamation of 100000
acres of waste lands within the next
few years. AS projected, this irriga
ton system will extend from Ellen
burg 10 Kennewick and will cost APP
proximately $20000.000, including The
cost of reservoirs. If labor proves
available. Mr.. Tiffany says 5000 men
will be required on government recla-
nation work in the Yakima valley
next wear.

hat This system is wrong and thai
The combinations should be effected
along The department store idea-thaj
is, thai each combination should in
clude one or two manufacturers of
each article and that he association
should be able 10 furnish everything
from a pin TO a locomotive. They
argue This system would save much
expense in maintaining statesmen and
branch agencies and That just as
strong organizations can be effected
as under The other plan. Advocates of

however, that their system, which
sends out highly specialized statesmen
to sell one article only and which al
locates all orders among The manu-
facturers embradcd in the association
makes the STRONGER combination tc

A new corporation combine is the Mo- have County Miner and Our Mineral Wealth at Kingman. Anson H. Smith, who has owned the Miner for the past thirty-four years, will be an editor and writer, while w. c. Damon, pres ent editor of Our Mineral Wealth, will assume the position of managing ed itor. The new combination will be in dependent in politics and boost for all of Mohave county. It was a good business move for all concerned since there was not room for two papers al Kingman and many other places are 1T the same fix. It is not any too ofter that newspapers are established fol business reasons, but more often fol political or personal reasons; the re. suit is usually death or bankruptcy for one or the other, usually for the one with the shortest sack. The peo, pie of Kingman are to be congratu, lated on getting one good paper GOV ering all the field.

THE HUNT DYNASTY.

The representative Republicans or Coconino county held most interest ing meeting last Tuesday evening. Hon. Albert M. Sames, chairman of the State Republican Central Commit tee, and Hon. Allen B. Jaynes, Ma tional Committeeman, were present, and both addressed the meeting, bringing good news from the other parts of the state as to the political situation. In their opinion, there is no question but, with the Hunt admins tration behind Golfer, he will be the nominee of the Democratic party at the primaries in September. There seems to be only one program amo"
 the Huntites, and that is to hand the nomination to Colter; if he is the can didate, they are sure that nothing will be disturbed in the state in case he is elected; it will be merely contin- uance of the Hunt regime, with the rest of the Democratic politicians of the state on the "outside looking in on Hunts boys licking up the goulash.
 There is an enthusiasm behind the Republicans this year that bodes i'll for the continuation of the present Hunt dynasty-and of course they will "die nasty"-they need the money and the people should pay it to keep them in power and effluance The presert gathering of Hunts salaried royal court should please the people, for they know how salaries are drawn and how to get the extras, therefore, why should the people reneg and prev"~
 a continuation of the game? If it is impossible for the King to turn over his crown. why should there be a crown? The King should have a crown, also a Clown-consequently why vote? Why spend money on state election machinery, when you are able to pocket the game in advance?

DOWN TO BRASS TACKS.

Our European allies have put in nearly four and half years of deadly strife against the world domination of the Hun; America has only begun and our boys have only commenced to get their stride. It is no pink tea affair, and it is up to the American people to realize that we must strip down for a finish fight if it takes ten years. That is the word that is being promulgated today and the bum and the boomer may as well get in line with the bomb and the booster. Paraphrasing Gen. eral Grant, the government of the United States has said: "We will fight it out on this line if it takes the rest of the century,"

that such an amount could be used. The forestry bunch are figuring in the news, too. One Irish corporal lumber jack captured Hun prisoner Gan avi- ator who busted his machine and land ed in the woods near logging camp) and marched him into headquarters with smile on the face of the lum- berjack that you could tie around his ears! Then foresty lieutenant cab baged German spy, dressed and pos ing as an American officer, and in specting one of the forestry opera tions. The spy spoke perfect English, but the lieutenant tripped him in his questions and turned him in where the Knowledge he gained, if any, will be safe.
 The Sun is an ever welcome visitor, and read-ads and all-from cover to cover. Even your "movie-page ot cows and brands" is read, and the Frenchmen to whom l showed that page were filled with curious wonder. They have the word "far-west" and immediately asked about Indians, and bears, and the "co-boy," as they call him. Evidently the American movie films have had their effect. Kids ask wild questions about wild Indians, scalping, etc. Shooting wild animals, and "wild west" movie films are all right in the efete east, but they cer- tainly create awful impressions over here, and yet the "wild west" films are the most popular ones here, they say. The kids are crazy for U. s. postage stamps, and every one that comes on letter from the States I give to some kid, who is tickled to death.

 Did you know that the old Coco nino forest is pretty well represented in the military service? There are now IS officers from that forest in the game-men who came direct from that forest into military service-and about 6 more who were formerly Co., conino officers.
