 OFFICE ON JAN 2no.
(From Sundays Daily.)

John J. Sweeney, recently appoint cd Superior judge of Yavapai county by Governor Hunt, yesterday an uounccd that he would take his oath of office on "Wednesday, January 2d, the oath in all probability to be ad ministered by ono of the members of the local bar.
 Lincoln H. Beyerle, who has 10, several years held the position of court reporter, yesterday rendered his resignation to the incoming judge. but the latter, being acquainted with the faithful work done by Mir. Beyerlc refused to accept the resignation. and in all probability the latter will con tinuc to act as reporter. Mir. Beyerlc did not wish to resign simply because he did not want to serve under the new judge, but handed in his notice merely in an effort to prevent any embarrassment on part of Mir. Sweeney should the latter have had some other candidate in mind for the position.
 The new judge will get busy im- mcdiately following his induction into office, and will proceed with the call of the calender about the first thing.

VAST RAILROAD ARMY DOING
 WAR WORK
THREE QUARTERS OF MIL LION MEN ARE NOW ENGAGED IN TRAN PORTING TROOPS, COAL, FOOD AND SUPPLIES.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 29.-Fig- ures compiled by the National Coun- ell of Defense and just available here show that the nation now has a rail road army of l,750,O00 men or practi- cally the same number of men now included within the first army of the United States. The might of the nation is shown by this mere state ment of the force required for trans portation of the country's supplies and of passengers.
 The war work of the railroads lat terly has added much to the respon- sibility and labor involved. Up to November l9, there had been carried 100000 soldiers to camps or to ports of embarkation. Some of these rides were short. but 5000 Atizona boys had to be hauled to Camp Funston, Kansas, and some of them back to Southern California, while the lads from Los Angeles had to be taken to American Lake, in Inc State of Wash ington. Ii Is no easy task to handle soldiers, with all their impedimenta A sample shipment was of battalion of SPA officers and men from San Francisco to an Atlantic port There was special train of 10 sleepers, a baggage car, kitchen car and three box cars, and the journey across the continent took seven days. Fifty such trains would be required for a divi- sion. Every day 2,500 carloads of coal and food arc being hauled to the camps and cantonmrn;s. Up to a month ago, l7,000 carloads had been hauled for the shipping board alone, for the building of 400 new ships. Nine hundred thousand more car ! loads of coal have been hauled in the first half of 1917 than in the previous six months, which were far from be- ing a slack period This addition would mean a train that would stretch across the continent and a fourth of the way back In all, the railroad business IS 90 per cent greater now than 1t was year ago.
 Every effort is being put forth 10 keep up with the demands made on the railroads, heavier loading is known and cars are more rapidly un- loaded. There must be the heartiest of cooperation from all sides if the war transportation needs arc to be filled.

sessment work, for assessment work may be filed and recorded on or be. fore March 30th of the year follow ing that for which the assessment work is being done
 Thus it has become a habit with many prospectors to file along in January and February record of the assessment work for the previous year, but this should not be done with the notices of intention to hold claims.
 Attention should also be called to the fact that if any assessment work is done, records should be made of assessment work, rather than under the law of intention to hold, becaus, filing under the new law does not ad- vance the claims towards patenting, and recorded assessment work is on. of the best evidences of having done sufficient work for patenting.
 Relative to the new law, the Honor able Carl Hayden has received let ter from Clay Tallman. commissioner of the United States General Land Office, the contents of which are very important in Arizona. Mir Tall man says:
 In my opinion if the claimant file such notice in the office where his location certificate is recorded, he has complied with the act. But, if he file and record the notice, h, would have record proof of the fact of his compliance with the act, which might be of service to him in cast the question of whether or not such notice had been filed should arise in a proceeding involving his claim to the land. You will note that proofs of annual labor arc made pursuant to State statute, the Arizona statute, and probably that of most other States. providing that the claimant may make and record a certificate, etc. and that the record thereof shall be prima facie proof that the annual labor was performed"

LAST Is PER CENT WILL
 COME FROM CLASS
(From Saturdays Daily.) )

Some of the rcgistrants who had been selected to make up the final Is per cent of the first quota when it was to have been called, may not be sent to join the national ariSy at this time after all.
 The government has decided that the final Is per cent will be classi- fled with all the other registrants and the Is per cent made up from Class l which in many cases excludes those selected originally for the Is per cent.
 The new order IS as follows:
 Tt has been decided that there will be no more formal calls for deferred percentages of the present quota be- fore February Is. While boards should, until they have enough men finally classified in Class l, send for ward promptly men selected under the old regulations to make up dcii- cicncics in calls already made, tn. result of this decision will be that we shall be able to give the benefit Of the new classification system to all men whose order numbers arc so latt as to place them within deferred per ccntagcs of the present call Calls will, however, be made very shortly under the provisions of Section l4o for the special class of men there mentioned. For the sake of compos- ing the public mind and for the con vcniencc of rcgistrants this informa- ton ought to be given wide dissemi- nation.

There are oyer 60,o0O Deico-L Light plants in use throughout inc United States today.
 "The plant not only pays for itself but increases the efficiency on the farm and the comfort and safety in the home. In these times, when all kinds of waste must be stopped, Delco- Light solves the problem of reducing the cost of lighting. reducing the amount of labor necessary on the farm and in the home. and greatly reduces the risk of fire loss which is of ut most importance to the individual and the community. Delco- Light is back el by real service, an established, na- Iton- NAut uihdllNdllbh Ol ONtl NsVVV representatiN es.'
 The uses for Delco-Light are almost unlimited. Rural homes. factories, churches. stores, boats. in fact any place where artificial light is needed can be served by this compact light ing plant
 Tn connection with the Delco- Light plant, Mir. Brown will have full as sortment of various electrical access sories. motor systems and fireless cooking gas ranges.

 Sheep: The farm bureau has en- deavored to encourage the raising of sheep through a cooperative agree ment with the state college at Storrs, through which sheep raisers may rent pure-bred ram where small f1ocks are concerned. Three farmers have been assisted through this plan this year.
 Field Crops: Farmers have been generally encparaged to plant more small grains. and as result of the general efforts calling for increased production, one dealer in Putnam sold over one hundred bushels of spring wheat for seed purposes It is per haps not too much to say that at least two-thirds of the farmers in the county raised a small piece of wheat, running from one-half to one acre in size.
