IM'GRAW TO BOLSTER
GIANTS BY PURCHASE
OF VALUABLE PLAYERS
By SID MERCER.

NEW YORK. July 22.-They say that
/ IN John J. McGraW has decided to
return to the old, sound system OF
developing his Giants from the abun-
dant ray material instead OF buying
! them on the hoof from other clubs.

One More Championship.
McGraw is not given to discussing
his baseball ambitions, but he cher

championship before he steps out as
q field leader He failed dismally in
1911 and 1913, and he was outlucked
in 1912 and 1917. But we believe
that II he can rebuild his team with
fresh young material within the
next two years, he viii step out on

McGraw OF old.

THE FARMS AND THE RANGES
 Edited by Francis A. Chisholm, County Agrcultu tural Agent
DECISION AFFECTS
 FOREST REVENUES

Under decision by Judge Neterrer, in the United States district court at Seattle, funds received by states from national forest revenues must be equally apportioned between the school and road funds. These funds are distributed among the counties in proportion to their forest reserve acreage and heretofore they have been used for either road or school purposes at the option of the super visors. The decision further sets forth how recovery may be had where the fund has been improperly dis tributed.
 The forest reserve fund for the fis- cal year ending June 3l, 1919, was divided among the counties of the state as follows, Yuma having no for est reserve and therefore not partici- pating:
 Maricopa county, $4,970.67; Cococ- nino county, $41,483.51; Apache, $5,- 033.65; Gila county, $10,9S2.29; Gra- ham county, $3,2S0.48; Greenlee coun- ty, $S,132.69; Mohave county, $61.94; Navajo county, S2,S1693; Pima coun- ty, $4,$15.00; Pinal county, $1 1,S61.23; Santa Cruz county, $4,2S0.68; Yava- pal county, $21 ,565.28.

HOW BATTLE FLAT'
 GOT ITS NAME

Nearly all of The Courier readers know where Battle Flat is in this county, or, have heard of it, but many of the newcomers do not know how the place got it's name. This is told in Vol of Farish's History of Ari- zona, as follows:
 In the latter part of May, 1864, Stewart Wall, Frank Brinkley, De Morgan Scott, Samuel Heron and Fred Henry started from Walnut Grove on a prospecting trip. They took three pack animals and a good supply of provisions. They took their time passing the Hassayampa and Turkey creek, and camped on the 2nd of June on what has since been known as Battle Flat. About two hours be- fore daylight the next morning they were attacked by a large body of h. dians. The Indians would, doubtless, have waited until daylight, but one of the boys, rising up, led them to be- lieve that they were getting up. Every man was wounded and two of the horses killed before daylight. There was continuous shower of arrows coming from the enemy, who were all around in fearful odds, and the boys were driven from their camp, taking up the position some 300 yards away, where they were still surrounded by the foe, The Indians took possession of the camp and made breakfast up on the two dead horses. The boys found themselves in a terrible condi- tion-all wounded and some of them in frightful manner. Henry .was wounded in the arm, but his legs were all right, so it was decided that he. should break through the enemy's line and go for help. He took Frank Brinkley, who had ball through the bridge of his nose which drove bone into an eye putting it out, with him. It was feared that Brinkley would go insane if left. The two attempted, at about II o'clock in the forenoon, to crawl through the brush, but were soon discovered, and running fight was then kept up for some distance. The men took a circuitous route to. avoid being ambushed and to have the advantage in the ground. The party being aroused from their beds so sud- denly, and in warm weather, had but little on, and these two wounded men made ar run through the mountains from II a. m. until, s a. m. the next morning, barefooted. When they reached Walnut Grove company of ten men soon started out and found the other boys, who had fought the Indians until in the forenoon, when the hostiles left, probably thinking that the game was not worth the cost. The boys were all taken in and all re- covered but Sam Heron, who died nine days later.-Prescott Courier.

Relation of Soils to Road Building.

An investigation which promises to place at the disposal of highway en- gineers important information regard ing the relation of soils to highway durability has been undertaken by the bureau of public roads, United States department of agriculture. This work includes taking samples of soil at spots in the sub-grade of highway where the road has begun to fail, studying surrounding geological con ditions to determine how moisture ar rived in the sub-grade, thus destroy ing its value, making laboratory tests to determine the physical character istics of soils, and obtaining a scien- tific measure of the bearing value of soils. In this investigation it is pro- posed to obtain as much cooperation as possible from the various state highway departments. The bureau of soils is cooperating with the bureau of public roads in this work.
 Preliminary investigation has been started in Maryland on the Wash ington- Baltimore road, and will be ex-

Congress is asked to appropriate the small sum of $50,000 for the pur- pose of survey which is to be the initial field work in so controlling the waters of the Colorado river, below Grand Canyon, as to yield the whole nation new productive riches from the Colorado river watershed--an area of approximately 259,520 square miles, comprising the southwest quarter of Wyoming, the western half of Colo rado, more than the eastern half of Utah, a large part of the southern part of Nevada and of the eastern part of southern California, all of Arizona and nearly quarter of New Mexico in it's western part.
 The request on congress is the re- suit of the great convention recently held in Los Angeles by the League of the Southwest. It is proposed that congress send large party of it's members to traverse important DOT tions of the area to see for them selves what, it is known, positively cannot be visualized from Washing ton.
 The giant project means, dams, main canals and water power equip ment on scale unprecedented in the worlds history. It means irrigating from 3,0O0,000 to 6.000,000 acres of land now barren, with the flow of the river stored and conserved. It means developing from l 100000 to 2,000.- 900 horsepower. It means impohnd- ing 10,000,000 acre feet of water in the canyons above the Utah-Arizona boundary line. It means so much, in so many different ways. such gigantic profit on the proposed national in vestment, as to be beyond computa- tion. Frank Lane. x-secretary of the interior, describes the prospect elo- quently. yet but faintlA thus:
 "A river that has never been, and can never be, the highway of the peo- pie or their commerce, but mighty stream destined to give life to mil lions of unborn acres, to furnish light and power to the towns. farms. mines, railroads and industries near by, and love beauty and are impressed by grandeur in nature-this is the Colo rado river, unique national asset. We have not yet begun to use it nor to see the things it can do. A hun dred years from now it will be ser ies of long lakes, tumbling cataracts and high dams. It will lift its own waters and spread them over lands that will produce whatever man needs for life or industry.
 q look to see $100.000,000 expend- ed on and along the Colorado river in the next ten or twenty years. and most of that expenditure will be in evidence 800 years hence. in the per manent works that supply water to this American Nile"

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
 IN MEXICO BALL GAME

GA relative of Carranza is author ity fer the statement that Mexico will abandon bull fighting and take up baseball.-News item.)
 In Mexico, baseball will be a mat ter of evolution rather than adoption. At the outset, a game will proceed along these general lines:
 Prior to the opening day, a parade of picadors, matadors and toreadors about the diamond.
 Liberation of the umpire, and be- ginning of the game.
 After the first inning, siesta for in- fielders.
 After the second inning, umpire is pursued by picadors.
 After the third inning, -siesta for outfielders.
 After fourth inning, pursuit of um- pire by picadors and matadors, twice around the bases.
 After fifth inning, pitcher and catcher take siesta.
 After sixth inning, massacre of the umpire by picadors, matadors and tor eadors. Fresh umpire liberated and game continues.
 After seventh, siesta for spectators; grandstandistas, bleacheristas, free listas, everybody.
 After eighth inning, official an- nouncement that the game will be con- cluded "manana."
 Final spectacle: Revolution among stand footing of box office. Looting stand. Looting of box office. Looting "Watchful waiting" for umpire.
 Prolonged siesta for umpire.-Car- toons Magazine.

FARMERS OF NORTHERN
 COUNTIES BUYING cows

Five carloads of Salt River Valley milk cows are to be shipped within the next few days to farmers of the dis trict along the new Apache railroad in the northern part of the state, ac- cording to purchases now being made by Niels Hanson, of Showlow, Apache couty.
 It is the plan of the farmers pur- shipments of cream by rail to the Pa- cific Creamery conpany's factory in Glendale.
 Heretofore the raising of range stock has been the principal occupa- ton of farmers of the northern coun- ties. It is said, however, that feed is very plentiful large part of the year and it is felt that the present dairy undertaking will not only be success ful from the standpoint of the farm CTS, but will help to keep up the man. ufacture of dairy products in this val ley.
 tended beyond Baltimore and on other roads in Maryland. Progress has been made in the matter of laboratory tests, a number of samples of sub grade material and other samples al ready having been examined.
 The federal highway engineers point out that soils differ widely in their ability to support loads, par ticularly when they are wet. Just why this is true and just what are the characteristics which make them diff ferent is little understood at present It is in this field of investigation, of increasing importance because of the growing volume of heavy traffic, that the federal investigators expect to se- cure important information.

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL
 PARK DEDICATED FRIDAY

Rev. Father c. Vabre, of Flagstaff, was one of the principal speakers at the formal dedication of Grand Can yon National Park on Friday, telling of the discovery of the canyon by the Coronado expedition in 154O, and of later visits by Franciscan fathers, such as Garces, who later suffered martyrdom for his efforts on behalf of the people of the then wild land.
 Sacahuku, chief of the Hopi Indians, formally welcomed the paleface to his domain and directed number of In- dian campfire dances symbolic of peace and good will, in a special. care monial. The invitation was accepted on behalf of the palefaces by Gov. Thomas F.. Campbell and Stephen T.. Mather, director of the national park service.
 Col. H. c. Rizer of the geological survey, told the story of Walter Pow elrs struggles to accomplish his great lifework, and described him as man who was just bit ahead of every other man in his day in finding what the people should have.
 District, Forest Supervisor Frank c. Pooler, of Albuquerque, recited de- tails of the long struggle of the for estry bureau to secure land titles within the COG, ,000-acre reserve. c. ID. Nathalie, representing the secretary of the interior, detailed how Ben Har- lisOn had failed to get Grand Can lyon Park, bill through congress in 1886, and how Senator Ashurst had succeeded only couple of years ago.
 Former Congressman Edward M. Bassett, of New York, eloquently ac- claimed the canyon as common prop erty of all the people of the nation, where God opened wide place to make plain the processes by which the world had been created.
 George Wharton James, of Pasa- dena, closed with tribute to the men who had conquered the land: to the early padres who had offered their lives, and to such men as Pow ell who had dared so much for the enlightenment of the world.
 The group of Hopi Indians m bravN array of serapes, buckskin, chintz and battle feathers were inter- ested auditors. About half the crowd that lined the cliff edges were of the Brooklyn Eagle party that is here on a transcontinental trip.
 That evening in the Fl Tovar lob by were held more formal exercises. MT. Mather spoke of the aims of the national park service. Gov. T. E. Campbell made an address, telling what the Colorado may mean to pos terity, in the full utilization of it's flood waters for irrigation and of its water power for industrial and agri- cultural uses all over the southwest.
 State Historian James M. McClin- tock advised the visitors of the racial differences of the southwestern In dians and something of their ethnolo- gicai progress, Then came an ad5 dress by Sacahuku, the Hopi chief, ih his native tongue with interpretation, followed by the Hopi dances in front of Fl iTovar.

WOULD MAKE TT A CRIME
 TO LIB TO A REPORTER

The New York legislature has pass ed bill making it an offense know ingly to furnish false information to publishers for publication. If there were such law in every state, it would work, alike to the benefit of the publishers and the public.
 Every newspaper, needless to say, wants to print the facts. The con- stant concern of every editor and re- porter is quest for the truth. In this quest newspaper men are usually at the mercy of others. They must necessarily obtain nearly all Vheir facts from other people. Generally people tell editors and reporters the truth. so far as fallible human nature permits. But the first thing report CT has to learn, and the thing he has to work at hardest throughout his newspaper career, is to tell when, and to what extent, people are telling him the truth.
 False information is usually invol- untary; the giver of it is deceived himself. by his own senses or by a word of others. Most of the involun- tary errors the reporter or editor catches and coirects The lie told with deliberate intent to deceive is harder to deal with. If malicious, it is in comparably more wicked. than most other forms of falsehood, because in giving it for publication the liar re- peats his lie as many times as it is printed, and so tells it to thousands or even millions of people, and also makes. an innocent publisher party t) it. Against such offenses there ought to be greater otection for the community and for those who provide it's news.-Miami Silver Belt.

WOOL GROWERS MAY GET STOLEN PROFITS BACK

The department of agriculture re- gently announced the results of a hearing in Washington, called by the secretary of agriculture, on matters pertaining to the valuation and han ding of the 1918 wool clip. The hear ing was granted in response, primar- ily, to numerous requests by Texas wool growers, but it developed into a consideration both of territory wool and fleece wool. Territory wool is produced west of the Missouri river and the eastern boundary of Texas, and practically all of it in 1918 was shipped on consignment basis to government distributing centers. Fleece wool, produced east of that line, was largely purchased in small lots through large number of coun- try dealers. The points at issue m the hearing, therefore, were different for the two classes of wool.
 The facts developed showed that nearly all the questions at issue so Tar as the Texas growers are concerned can be handled only by the war de- partment and arrangements are be- ing made for adjudication bv the proper authorities in that department. The complaint of the Texas growers, primarily, is that too large deductions for dirt and other impurities were made in valuing Texas wool and that, therefore the growers received too little for their wool.
 The questions that were presented relating to fleece wool come under the Jurisdiction of the department of az riculture, the wool division of the war industries board having been transfer red to the bureau of markets of the department of agriculture by execu- tive order December 31. 1918.
 Reports Collection of Excess Profits.
 The bureau of markets made a re- port, covering the period since the transfer. showing the work of secur- ing sworn reports, auditing them. and collecting excess profits which will be returned to the growers. 1t was shown that, in addition to the $500 country dealers to whom permits were issued by the war industries board, the bu- reau of markets has discovered about 500 country dealers who operated without permits. The late discovery of the names operated to delay the work, but reports will be secured from practically all of these unlicensed dealers.
 The bureau has secured reports from all of the large central dealers and has nearly completed it's audits. Many of these large dealers, however, have been holding excess profits amounting to about s533,000 pending decision of the treasury department as to whether or not income tax will be collected on these sums. The com missioner of internal revenue ruled, on April 9, that payment of income tax on excess profits on 1918 wool will not be insisted on where payment is made to the bureau of markets ac- cording to the regulations governing the 1918 clip.
