State Will Finish
 Building Lyman Dam

Through the effective work of the state loan board, com posed of Governor Campbell, State Secretary Nit Simms and State Treasurer H. s. Ross, the money will be made available to go on with the work at once and a big force of men and teams will be started on the job within an- other week. We don't pre- tend to know the status of affairs at present, but we do know that State Treasurer Ross arrived from Phoenix last Sunday accompanied ac- companied by Francis L. Sellew and John Lovac, two expert engineers who were connected with the Yuma irrigation project. Engineer Lovac will remain at the dam permanently to look after construction work, while En- gineer Sellew will occasion ally visit the works to see that everything is being done as it should be. An expert accountant and book-keeper, MT. A. O. Erhardt of Phoe- nix, arrived the first of the week and will stay on the job until it is finished.
 Messrs. A. M. Patten and J. F. Church and their en- gineer, John Fields, came in Tuesday from Denver and left the next day in company with State Treasurer Ross and Engineer Sellew for Phoenix, where the details of the project are being thrashed over once more and probably for the last time. The dam is going to be built and will be pretty well along toward completion before the summer rains come, of that you may be sure, said State Treasurer Ross before leav- Iing.-Observer.

treating plant, which will be built on a scale in keeping with the balance of the en- terprise, will be located in Holbrook and give employ ment to quite a force. The Holbrook Chamber of Com merce is also endeavoring to have the general offices of the company located here, even though the mill is at Cooley.
 When the Apache mill is turning out lumber it will mean a material saving to the men who are drilling for oil in this field, in the build ing of derricks and necessary buildings. Present indica- tions point to great activity in this line before the sum- mer is over.

ArizOna's Contribution
 For the Near East

FnOen1X, March 0, 19l9. Judge Sidney Sapp, Hol
 brook, Arizona.
 Dear Judge Sapp: The campaign for funds for re. lief in the near east has closed, and while reports are not all in, we anticipate that the final reports will be about $110, 1000. In spite of the fact that we have been urg- ing you on, we we were not deceiving d ourselves at any time as to the conditions with which you were meeting, and we cannot tell you how much we appreciate the services which you have rendered.
 There has never been a campaign before that has met with the discourage ments that have been en- countered during this drive, and we feel that the amount raised is a glowing tribute to the men and women work CTS, for with the most ad- verse conditions possible, the campaign was successful. When we consider that the greatest difficulty with the campaign was the lack of sufficient workers, it makes us doubly appreciate those who did work as you did, with all their heart and soul, to do everything possible, and we at state headquart- CTS feel, as you must feel, that our efforts will have been the means of saving thousands of lives, and that in. itself is sufficient compen- sation.
 Again expressing our sin cere appreciation, we are,
 Sincerely yours,
 CHARLES F. WILLIS,
 State Director D. GOLDBERG,
 State Chairman.

The $6O Bonus to
 Be Paid to Soldiers

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act approved February "A, 191! authorizes the payment of bonus of $6O. co to officers, sold iers, field clerks and nurses o1 the Army upon honorable separa' tion from active service by dis charge, resignation or otherwise, This bonus is not payable to the heirs or representatives of any deceased soldier.
 Those who are discharged hereafter will receive this bonus on the same roll or voucher upon which they are paid their final pay.
 Those who have been dis charged and have received their final pay without the $60.00 bonus, should write a letter to the Zone Finance Officer. Lemon Building, Washington, D. C.. stating their service since April 6, 1917, the date of last discharge and their present address to which they desire their bonus checks to be sent and enclosing with this letter their discharge certificate or military order for discharge and both if both were issued.
 Upon the receipt by the Zone Finance Officer, Washington, D. C.. of this information and the soldiers discharge certificate, this officer will cause checks to be drawn and mailed to the claimants in the order in which their claims were received by him. The discharge certificate will be returned to the soldier with the check.
 It is estimated that at least one. million and a quarter per sons have been discharged from the service who are entitled to the benefits of this Act and while payments will be made as expeditiously as practicable. it will manifestly take considerable time to write and mail this many checks.

The Aztec Company
 Secures Large Lease

The News is advised by
 Governor Geo. D. Meikle'
 john that the Aztec Petrol.
 cum Securities Co. has just
 concluded a very favorable
 lease on a large acreage rep
 resenting a portion of the
 holdings of this company in
 the Holbrook field. This
 lease has been taken by MT.
 Charles Oster of New York City, and it is understood
 that MT. Oster, while acting for himself, has also become associated in this enterprise with very prominent and in- f1uential eastern capitalists. The terms of the lease pro- vide that from three to five standard rigs shall be on the ground and at work on or before the middle of May next.
 The Astec Petroleum Se- curities company has an ex- tensive acreage of patented land which was secured by perpetual lease through the efforts of Hon. Geo. D. Meiklejohn, ex-AssistantSec- retary of War. MT. Meikle- john is also president of the Holbrook Oil company, and is therefore doubly identified with the development of the Holbrook field. The Aztec company reports several in- teresting developments in other negotiations for leases in this field and the officers are more than optimistic over the prospects fog early and. thorough development.
 It is understood that MT. w. L. MacKay conducted negotiations between MT. Oster and Manager Jack Warden of the Aztec com pany. The Holbrook field is certainly fortunate in se- curing the activity of MT. Oster and clients, who are able to prosecute unlimited development. MT. Oster ex- poets to arrive in Holbrook within the next week to make preliminary arrange ments for initial work on his program of development.

HOlbrOOk and Its
 Future Prosperity
(By James F. o'Brien. Assistant sscretal
 Chamber of Commerce)


 ity of Holbrook, and which will perhaps compare favor ably in up-to-dateness of equipment and scope of operations with any similar enterprise in the country, is that now being launched by the Apache Lumber com pany, of which A. B. Me Gafey, of Los Angeles, is president.
 As a preliminary it was necessary to build the Apache Railway fir O m Holbrook, where it connects with the main line of the Santa Fe, 70 miles south to Cooley, in theheartof an enormous belt of fine timber. In spite of unheard-of cold weather and deep snows, the road was pushed through to Cooley in quick time, and work is now progressing on the big mill at that point.
 The mill, which is expect ed to be finished and ready for operation about August 1st, is known as a "three- ba n d ll'--having three band saws where the average mill has one. As a compari- son it may be stated the American Lumber company's mill at Albuquerque has only two band saws, though it is one of the big mills of the west.
 The Apache mill will have a cutting capacity of 225, 00Ol feet per 10-hour shift. ItI will be electrically driven, each machine having it's in- dividual motor, and every modern safety and labor saving device is being install ed. Modern lavatories and shower baths will be put in and, in fact, as stated by the management, everything possible will be done to add to the comfort and conven- fence of the employees.
 The plant, when complet- ed, will be one of the finest in the United States. It is expected that about 800 men will, be employed in all de- partments when it is in full operation, and there is tim Der available to last for fifty | years.
 Attractive three, four and | five-room bungalows are be- ing built for married en- ployes, and a hotel for single men. The houses are fur nished with electric lights, running water, bath rooms, and the usual modern con- veniences. A block has been reserved for a park in the center of the townsite, and | another for a school build ing.
 The management states that about half the com pany's output will be sold to the Santa Fe Railway in the way of ties and timbers, and the balance will go on the open market. Up to the present time, contracts have been made for nearly a bil- lion feet of lumber, exclusive of mine timbers and railroad ties. Even with a capacity of over half a million feet daily if the mill is run for the full "A hours, twill take several years to fill t h e orders now on the books.

MethOdiStS Will Help.

Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass
has been pledged the support and CO.
operation of 1900 Methodist ministers
and 60, 600 Methodist Minute Men, in the
big job ahead of putting the Victory
Loan lover the top.
DR.. Morris E. Swartz, executive Sec
rotary of the Methodist Missionary Cen
tenarv for the Washington Area, an
nounced that constituencies of Methodism
in every city and town in the United
States will get solidly behind the Victory
Loan drive when it begins April 81, and
will help push it through to success.
Leaders of the Methodist Missionary
Centenary from both northern and south
ern branches of Methodism have warmly
endorsed the action of the Joint Centen-
ary Committee and Area Secretaries in
postponing until May Is, the intensive
financial drive for the Centenary, in or
der that there should be no conflict with
the Victory Loan. Centenary leaders,
it is stated, will cancel meetings that
run counter to important Victory loan
programs.
DR.. Swartz declared that local Loan
committees can depend upon the heartiest
cooperation from Methodist clerical an d
lay leaders. Minute Men will make
special speaking tours, urging the pur-
chase of bonds, and the appeal also will
be made at numerous meetings in the
churches and their affiliated branches.

Victory Loan 4,5OO, 900, 900.

The Victory Liberty Loan will be for
$4, 500, 000, 600 and will bear interest at
the rate of AZ per cent, per annum. Sec
rotary of the Treasury Carter Glass
announced This is the highest interert
rate that has been fixed for any of the
Liberty Loan issues. over subscriptions
will be rejected and allotments made on
graduated scale similar to that adopted
in connection with the first Liberty Loan.
The notes will be partially tax exempt
and will be convertible into 81 per cent,
gold notes, wholly exempt from taxes.
Similarly the 81 per cent notes will be
convertible into the 4S notes.
In making the announcement Secretary
Glass reiterated his previous assurance
that this will be the last Liberty Loan,
and he expressed the belief that with
the decreasing scale of Government ex-
pendtures, future borrowings can be
financed readily through the issue of the
Treasury certificates and without the
aid of another popular campaign.

Arsenal To Continue.
Edgewood Plant Will Be kc...t
By Army For Manufacture
OF Gas.

Edgewood Arsenal, according to an
nouncement made Monday, is to be con-
tinued as a separate unit by the Chemical
Warfare Service by the Arm with
force of between 400 and 600 civilian en-
ployes under army direction.
1t had been stated previously that the
arsenal was to be turn ed over to the
Ordnance Department, but this plan was
changed last Friday, following visit to
the arsenal by Assistant Secretary OF
War Crowell, Major-General Sybert and
other officers.
After inspecting the plant the War
Department authorities decided to keep
it. for the manufacture of gas and gas
shells. 1t was also found to be adapted
for an army experimental station, par
ticularly for experiments on gas shells.
The proving ground at Edgewood is to be
maintained separately from the Aberdeen
Proving Grounds, and is to be used ex-
clusively for the testing of gas shells.
The only other proving ground which the
army had for testing gas shels-that at
Lakewood, N. J.--has been abandoned
recently and Its equipment Is to be moved
down to Edgewood.
The manufacture of gas at Edgewood
was discontinued some time ago, but is
to be resumed by the Government as soon
as definite plans have been made for the
continuance of the plant. This would in
dictate that despite forecasts to the con-
trsry coming from Europe the use Of gas
as an agency for destruction is not to be
discontinued by civilized nations,
1t was said at the arsenal Monday that
soldiers and officers who now man the
Edgewood camp will be given the pre-
ference when it comes to the selection of
civilian employees by the Chemical War
fare Service. Many of these men have
become experienced in the most teehni-
cal branches of this work and the Gov
eminent wants to keep them. They will
be offered their discharge from the army
and civilian job at the plant.
COL William H. Walker is in charge
of the EdpeWood Arsenal.
