SALARY INCREASES
IND. c. IMPERATIVE.
Prompt Action Necessary to
Prevent Wholesale Resigna-
tons, Commissioners Told.

Immediate increases in salary are
imperative if the District government
is to avoid wholesale designations Of
employees.
This information has been laid be-
fore the Commissioners by the Dis
trict government unit Of the National
Federation Of Federal Employees.
The organization asked for increases
June 8. The Commissioners approved
the request and transmitted it to
Congress. No action was taken.
Since then. it is stated. the District
has lost nearly so per cent of its stat
uatory employees. or those carried on
the annual roll under specified ap-
preparation. Unless increases are
granted at once, it is said. there
will be other designations that will
all but paralyze the clerical forces.
The increases sought range from
to 35 per cent. If granted, they
would give employees making $500 a
year, $1,000 a year. The organization
asks that the Commissioners present
the matter to Congress as necessitat-
ing immediate action.

Settlement of the long-drawn-

Settlement of the long-drawn-
out controversy between the set
tiers on the Baca Float No. s
and the grant claimants was
practically reached Friday, when
a majority of the settlers agreed
to pay the claimants onIe-half
the value of the land.
The settlement was the result
of long negotiations, and was
closed yesterday during visit
by Judge O'Connor and Attor-
neys Duffy and Purdum to Tu-
bac.
Messrs. Davis and Watts,
claimants of the south half, and
Bouldin and Bailey, claimants OF
the north half, have accepted
these terms.
The rights of the claimants
were originally rejected by the
government, and the lands were
thrown open to entry. Later,
after litigation, the government
recognized the rights of the
grant claimants, and proceed
ingS were started to oust the
settlers.
The settlement is in the ma
ture of a compromise, it being
thought wise by both sides to
compromise thus, and save the
expenses of litigation in the
courts.

TO
CEASE USE OF
WHEAT TODAY
MILO MAIZE AND RYE
USED AS SUBSTITUTES
Practically Every Restaurant in
Nogales Has Agreed to the
Wheat Saving Plan.

Wheat disappears from the
menus of the Nogales restau-
rants and boarding houses today
for a period of 80 days.
This is in compliance with a
request from the National Food
Conservation board, and the ac-
tion of the restaurant men is
wholly voluntary. Milo maize
and rye flours will be used in
place of wheat, with other sub
stitutes.
Local Chairman Ben Evans,
with his assistant, D. D. Muir
ply, have been making the
rounds of the restaurants for the
last few days, and they report
that practically every restaurant
in Nogales has signed the pledge
to discontinue the use of wheat
and wheat products.
''The great obstacle" said
Chairman Evans yesterday, "is
the fact that the bakers will not
furnish bread without wheat. Ii
the government would forbid the
sale of wheat to the bakers, it
would solve the problem.
Many of the restaurants get
their bread from Los Angeles,
and the bakers of that city have
declared that they cannot make
bread without some adnixture
of wheat flour.
"If the bakers refuse to fur
nish non-wheat bread" said Mr..
Evans, "the restaurant men will
try plan successfully adopted
in some other cities-refuse to
purchase bread. This will be
trio here for thirty days, any,
way, and the restaurant men will
meanwhile use corn bread and
similar substitutes which they
can make themselves"

BILE or counter, and the waiter

SUBMERGED DAM
Will BE BUILT
IN SONORA
PLAN FOR IRRIGATING
LAND NEAR DESTILADERO
Will Raise Subterranean Water
to Surface Where 1t Can
Be Used.

Contract has been let by Bar
nett Brothers of Nogales for the
construction of submerged
dam at Destiladero, about twelve
miles southwest of Nogales,
Son., which will irrigate about
200 acres of the finest agricul-
tural land in this section.
The dam will be constructed
down to hardpan, but will not
rise above the level of the soil.
The idea is to arrest the flow of
underground currents of water,
raising them to the surface so
that the water can be used for
irrigation.
A. S. Noon has the contract
for the construction of the dam.
The land to be irrigated has
been cropped without the use Of
irrigation water, and it has at
this time one of the finest crops
of wheat that can be found in
the state of Sonora.
The new dam and irrigation
system will make it one of the
most productive pieces of ranch
property anywhere in the vici7l.
