BUCKEYE EPE0P[E ;. ADD LARGELY ID
 IRRIGATED LAND
Several Thousands of Acres
 Will Receive. Benefit from
 Work Now Being Done in that Enterprising District

Alter purchasing new machinery, launching several new undertakings of large proportions, increasing its stock and stimulating general activity. the Buckeye Irrigation company finds it. self in prosperous condition with all work going ahead at top speed.
 Based on purely cooperative plan, increases in the stock of the company means not only more revenue with which to push work at present under way, but also stand for a greater ir- rigable area. Each share of stock add ed means an additional acre to be ir- rigated, or at present being irrigated. Heretofore, in addition to serving the needs of it's stockholders the Buckeye Irrigation company served other farm- CTS of the district, at an added cost of 50 cents. The rate for the members of the organization is 75 cents, to which the 50 cents is added making the cost $1.25. The new stock allows it's owners to enjoy the same rate as the original stockholders. The stock was increased from 16,000 to 20,300 shares, which represents just that many acres now irrigated or to be irrigated under the project.
 A submerged dam is being built across the Gila river, below the mouth of the Agua Fria. The dam will raise the surface of the river to the point where an equitable flow will be main talned in the main canal at all times. The dam will cost when completed, ap- proximately $100,000. Besides this the entire canal is being widened during its entire length of approximately "A miles. Through the new arrangement the total indebtedness against the en- terprise is not more than $2 per acre. A sand gate, which is being construct ed in the old dam in front of the head | gate, will draw out the sand.
 Most of the work is being done by the new dredger, purchased recently at a cost of $11,000. The new machine first saw service last August. It is now operating "A hours per day. The night shift is made possible through the use of Delco lighting system The dredger IS of the walking type," run ming on the sides of the canal, and making possible the widening opera tions as well as dredging in its truer form. Upon reaching the termination ot the canal, and completing the wid- enlnS process the dredger will be sent back to the head which will be opened when the White Tank canal will be opened and moved further back from the river so as to avoid the floods from the river. The dredger operates d dip- per which removes yard of earth at a time. A considerable amount of drain age work is also being planned, and the completion of the laterals by the dredger will follow.

Pauline Frederick at lamara

Some few years, David Graham Phillips startled the public with "The Hungry Heart" which was first pre- sented in magazine form. Later it was published in book form and immediately jumped into the ranks of the best sellers" This same story has been adapted for the screen, and serves as the vehicle for Paramount's present of tering of Pauline Frederick, one of the most celebrated emotional actresses on the screen. It is q story Of the in evitable-a young wife and husband too busy to allow the wife to really en- ter his life, and the third party to the eternal triangle" but Phillips. with all the versatility for which he was noted, has succeeded in weaving the plot into a solution that is as uneX- pected as it is wholesome and delight fui
 The program is augmented by an- other of the famous Mack Sennett comedies, Tanning Target Center featuring Polly Moran, Ben Turpin and Gonda Duran.

"The Flame" is Spectacular

Tales of adventure, strange lands with tropic scenes and seas, rites and customs of another day, and under meath it all such a tale as makes the red blood thrill have gone to the mak- ing of "The Flame" which Richard Walton Fully is to present at the Elks theater for two days commencing Monday, January 2S.
 Mir. Fully is not unfamiliar with the welding together of such clements into an entertaining play, for he gave to the stage "The Bird of Paradise" and Omar, the Tentmaker.' It is said that in "The Flame he has once again scored in producing such play as has wide appeal to all classes of play goers. It is a big production which he sends, for in this respect it bears con- parison with Ben Hur." "The Garden of Allah" and such other dramas. Rail- way equipment sufficient to handle three or four usual attractions is re- quired to transport the play and the story is interpreted by a cast of some

Creation of a volunteer reserve Of 25O,O0O shipyard workers is planned by the shipbuilding board The men will be recruited with the assistance of the state council of defense; they will be held in reserve and sent to the shipyards as fast as their services are needed. The present lack of housing facilities at the yards prevents the em- ployment of many more men. The quota for Arizona is SSS Applications are coming in daily from men in all parts of the state to the council of defense. As soon as enough blanks are received registration bureaus will be established throughout the state
 During the two week period begin ming January 2S, the four minute men will explain to their audiences all over the country what building means 10 America in this war Millions of Americans have been waiting merely to be told what service they can best render. Trained riveters, boilermakers, punchers, machinists, blacksmiths, carpenters, caulkers, millWrights and other trained men can render no ser vice more vitally needed than the ser vice of the nation in the shipyards. Every skilled workman who volunteers for work in the shipyards may well feel that he has joined the military forces of America. Every rivet driven is q blow at the kaiser. A full days work in the yards is equivalent to the taking of German trench.

Public Library
Mrs. Lucy P. Russell
Librarian.

The library is indebted to Mrs.
H. A. Foushee, of Durham, for a
handsome copy of Harry LADDERS
book, "A Minstrel in France"
The volume is a memorial to his
only son, John Lauder, who fell
fighting bravely in France. To
heal his own sorely wounded
heart the father devotes his Won
derful talents as a singer to
cheering the boys in the trenches
with song and story; he has a
piano made to fit an automobile
and with it he went-but you
come read the book, then you
will know where he went. Isn't
it fine in Annie Wall" to re-
member her home town in a way
that shows her interest in what
ever tends to the development of
the best interests of the place?
I am expecting her example to
spur others to emulation and
hope the mail will be congested
with fine new books for the
library.
Strangers are finding our mod
est sign and coming over to
spend their leisure moments
with the new magazines and
books, and never fail to compli-
ment our town upon its energy
and good sense in establishing
a library in face of the war.

That's right. 1t takes a

ALPINE CLUB
 ENTHUSIASTIC
MAZAAlAs CLUB OF PORTLAND AND MOUNTAINEERS CLUB OF SEATTLE INVITED TO COME TO sKAGWAY NEXT SUMMER.

Enthusiasm marked the meeting of the Skagway Alpine Club last night, and plans were made for a series of literary and musical en- tertainments to be given during the remainder of the winter. The first social gathering, to be held Friday, February s, will be for members only. Later 1t is planned to give an event to which the public will be invited.
 A committee consisting of Fred Pedersen, Paul McClelland, and Miss Martha MaSgillicuddy was appointed to work up the entertain ment, which will consist of a mock trial, divorce or other stunt guaran- teed to bring g roar of laughter from the audience.
 Bank statements show the club has $65.35 on hand, and bills were read and allowed for an amount totaling $11.20. No itimized state ment was read, but an effort is being made to secure the same.
 Mir. Landsborough, the treasurer, having left Skagway, a new cleo tion was held for that office and B. A, Ross was voted to fill ou the remainder of the year, which closes in March.
 It WIS moved and carried that thu Mazamas mountain club of Port land, and the Mountaineers club of Seattle and Tacoma should be invited 70 Skagway the coming sum mer. The Alpine club volunteers to furnish guides to htese two or ganizatlons and to direct them to the best hikes about the city.
 Discussion was made of the ad- visibility of securing ice creepers and pike poles for the club, and J. NJ. Keller was appointed a con- mittee Of one to look into the cost of the same. The idea expressed
