SPRING OF 1918
i'ainstaking Care Should Be Taken of
the Young POrkers, in Order That
the Loss May Be AS Small as Pos

Pigs During This Season.

Washington, March 1'.-More than
ordinary care should be taken of the
spring crop of pigs this year, the
swine specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture point out.
Every pig that it is possible to save
must be looked after. This takes a
bit of extra care-probably a few
sleepless nights and getting out in
some mighty nasty weather-but
these IN conveniences are necessary if
we are to meet the demands for
pork.
Do not confine the SOW in her far
rowing pen more than forty-eight
hours before farrowing time if it is
possible to avoid doing so. Reduce
the heavy feed to some extent, prob
ably about half, for that length of
time. The narrowing house or pen
should be comfortably warm, well ven
ttiated and well lighted. Above all
else, it should be we'll bedded. Do
not allow any circulation of air IN.

hay is good, as is millet. Do not use
oat straw unless there is absolutely
nothing else at hand.

HORSESHOE DAN
 PROJECT BEING
 PUT TINTO5HAPE

That an irrigation project that will mean the cultivation of many thous Bnds of acres Of desert land is now well under way, was the statement yesterday of prominent ranChers of the Paradise Valley. who are behind the movement for the building of a stor pge dam on the Verde. Besides the storage dam there will be a diversion dam they say and canals that will furnish water to something like 10000 acres of land or practically one-thrd the ranch lands in the valley.
 Every small detail of the project has been worked out and all that remains for it to be a settled fact claim the sponsors, are the formalties connected with the organization of an Irrigation district.
 It is proposed 10 issue bonds upon ihe district and build the project from the proceeds Reasonable assurance has been given that upon organization of the district the government will turn over the Horse Shoe dam site. Ap- plication already has been made for the rights Of way for canal and dams
 Engineers have figured the cost of the project and have estimated the amount of water available for irrigation and storage which they declare will economically cover one-third of the ranch lands in the valley. The con- struction work will require period of three years, they say.
 No difficulty is being anticipated in inc disposal of 20-year bonds which will bear interest at the rate of per cent. It is believed that the bonds will be taken by the Federal Reserve Banks If the Chamberlain bill now pending in Congress passes. The bill authorizes tho banks tO invest moneys in bonds issued by various districts and if it passes, arrangement will be made for the banks to sell the bonds, it is eX- pected.
 The Paradise Valley ranchers who will directly benefit by the project are In the majority homesteaders. Many have proved up their land and others have not yet completed the govern ments requirements. According to a law which went into effect a year ago, where an irrigation district has been formed which includes government land, the land when patented to an nntryman shall be held for irrigation charges.
 The petition for forming an irriga- lion district has been set for hearing January 29 before the board of super visors before which body the bond has been field and approved. Alexander and Christy are the legal advisors of the petitioners.
 One of the petitioners stated yester- day that the project would bring great wealth to the valley. He said it would be impossible for him to estimate just how much added prosperity it would insure, but that it could not be over estimated. Whatever is grown in this valley could be produced in Paradise Valley, which will mean an increase in the cotton output in Arizona as well Rs every product of the farm. Cotton fields, alfalfa lands, crops of every vairety will increase materially the wealth of the valley.

 U FEDERATION

The state corporation commission yesterday received a telegram from Di- rector General McAdoo of the railways operation of the commission in the en- forcement of the demurrage order pro- mulgated by him. MT. McAdoo says that he has generally received assur- ances of support from railway and state commissions and unless he can have that and the cooperation of the shipper the movement of freight cars cannot be moved more rapidly than they have been in the past. The de- murrage order, he states is a war measure.
 Bulletins from the National Associ- ation of Railway and Utilities commits sions have been received at the office of the commission. The first of them issued before the government took over the railways speculates concerning problems that would arise in the event of the assumption of control by the government. One of these was the question of the taxation of the railways by the states; another was whether a suit could be brought against rail- road for damages and a third was the state control of rates. These questions are now being put into the way of be- ing answered by legislation.

An echo of an early autumn scah- dal was heard in the superior court yesterday when Charles Daniel, a travelling salesman, brought suit for divorce against Mrs. Josephine Daniel naming J. E. Chapman, the com blaming witness in the case of as Eault with intent to commit murder now pending against Daniel.
 The filing of the suit recalls the famous shooting episode at the Jef- ferson hotel last September when Daniel is alleged to have shot Chap man when he claims he found him in his wife's bedroom. Chapman was confined to his bed in the Sisters hospital for several weeks after the shooting. but he appeared at the preliminary hearing to testify against Daniel
 The next sensation was the sep arate maintenance suit brought by Mrs. Daniel against her. susband, which was denied by Judge Lyman. During the course of the trial, em- ployes of the Jefferson hotel testified as to misconduct on the part of Mrs. Daniel and Chapman.

WASHINGTON HAS NO
 LEGAL EXISTENCE

When President Wilson dated a re- cent proclamation, Done in the Dis trict of Columbia July IA, 1917." cur iosity was at once aroused. Why had he substituted District of Columbia" for the City of Washington"
 Inquiry developed the information that Representative Johnson of Ken lucky, chairman of the house commit tee on District of Columbia, had called the presidents attention to the fact that congress had repealed the charter of the city in 1871 and had set up a territorial government for the whole district, to take the place of the differ ent municipal governments for Wash ington and Georgetown.
 Washington, therefore, has no legal existence as city, says the Philadel- phia Evening Ledger. When the dis trict was first created the only munic- ipal corporation in it was Georgetown, which was governed by a mayor and council. When the City of Washington was laid out, it was provided that it should be governed by a commission and the president. The district outside of Washington and Georgetown was governed by justices of the levy court It was governed by the commission un- til city council was created. This form of government continued until June 1, 1871, when the Georgetown and Washington charters were repealed and the justices of the levy court were abolished and a territorial form of gov ernment for the whole district was created.
 The law provided for a governor, a board of public works, a secretary, a board of health a council of eleven members, all appointed by the presi- dent The law also provided for a house of delegates of twenty-two mem- bers and a delegate in the house of representatives, both elected by the people of the district
 It was under this form of govern ment that modern Washington was

built. It was abolished on June 20, 1874, when a temporary commission of three appointed by the president was set up. On July l, 1878, the present government by a commission of three, two civilians and an army officer, ap pointed by the president, was estab lished.
 The new municipality, which is CO., terminous with the district is legally known as ''the District of Columbia" The right of the citizens to elect their local officers has been withdrawn and they now pay taxes without having any voice in the way the money is eX- pended
 Although Washington had no legal existence, the pOstoffice address of the national capitol and the executive mansion is given in the director of congress as Washington and the di- reCtOry also gives the Washington" addresses of members of congress. Nu- merous acts of congress passed since the repeal of the charter refer to Washington as though it had a legal status. In practice the name of the district and the name of the city have come to be synonymous.

Probably few frequenters of the countryside have returned to look into a birds nest to observe it's con- dition without many times finding it destroyed and fragments of egg shells lying about. Unquestionably large percentage of such nests located in the neighborhood of buildings have been raided by rats.
 On one of the small Danish islands it has been authentically recorded that the progeny of a sinple pair of rats, which escaped from captivity, in two years time exterminated a great col ony of birds for which the island had been noted.

 There may be nothing wrong with the foregoing figures, but of the fifteen homicides in this county alone since capital punishment was abolished the defendants in three cases were con- victed of murder in the first degree. People of this law-abiding county will learn with pained surprise that they have furnished one-third of all the life men of the year and nearly all of the convicts for second degree murder and manslaughter, to say nothing of those still in the county jail awaiting trial. The other counties are yet to be heard from.
