GRAZING FEES ON NATIONAL
 FORESTS CAN'T BE RAISED
CFrom Sundays DaiIvl

ALBUQUERQUE, \. M., Dec. 11.-Grazing at present Is the prin- ! cipal source of money return to the lgovernment from the national for ests, so states the secretary of agri- culture, E. T. Meredith, in his an nual report to the president Since ! 1915, adds the secretary, the grazing fees have been doablc1 wih tte view of making thcm cocnnensurate with current rental rates for re.gh- boring private lands of the same character. When the existing rates were established, the users of the range understood that they would remain in effect for five years, and many of the grazing permits were
 issued for this period. The value
 of the grazing privilege on many ranges subsequently advanced and
 considerable sentiment in favor Of
 an immediate further increase in the
 fees developed. The good faith of
 the government would be impaired
 by such a course. Furthermore. to
 advance the fees at the present time
 would add seriously to the instabil-
 ity which confronts the national
 forest livestock industry because of changing market conditions. and
 would be neither just nor good pub lie policy.
 No policy has been laid down by congress for the guidance of the department in the exercise of the ad- ministrative discretion, with which it has for IS years been vested, to determine the conditions under which the use of the range should be permitted. If congress desires 1 to prescribe such a policy. says Secretary Meredith. it should not take effect until after 1923 when the existing leases will expire. Even in the absence of legislation, the de- partment will make a classification of the ranges and fix a new scale of charges, to be imposed in 1924 | under which the fees will represent l the actual grazing value of the par ticular portion of the range used by each permittee or group of permit i tees. Before the new scale Is de | termined, an opportunity will be given the local associations of na- tjonal forest range users to submit | any data regarding the fairness Of l the proposed fees which they may i desire to present.

With work on the installation of the new S5-pound steel rails over this division, it is expected. that the new rails will be laid through to Wickenburg by the end of this month, it was stated yesterday by local Santa Fe officials.
 The laying of the new rails will make possible the Improvement of the service on this division, in that lit will permit the use of much heavier and more powerful locomo- tivcs than those used at present. Following the completion of the rail work, heavy-power engines of the 825 class will be used on all freight runs.
 A short time later it is expected that engines of the 9 to 16 hundred class. weighing 2S7,OOO pounds, will be used on the uphill service out of Prescott. These engines will more than double the car capacity on local freight runs, hauling 75O tons up the grade where the old lighter engines in use at present carry only little over 250.

(From Sundays Daily)

Santiago CorrosCo is a young man heeved at his mother-in-law.
 According to a complaint asking for a divorce, filed yesterday by Cor rosco. Ma came to live with him and Librada, his wife, and then the fight began.
 Outrageous. vile, abusive, cruel. irhuman. unfit for the ears of men to hear are some of the phrases Mr. Corrosco's attorney, James Loy, uses to describe the language used by Mrs. Mother-in-Law concerning, anent and about the plaintiff. This thing has been going on since De ccmber, 1919, or a trifle over a year, and at last Santiago's innate patience and courtesy broke down under the strain.
 He links his wife up with the al legged abuse by stating that she by her words and conduct, seemed to concur i'll the epithetical opinions oi her mother. He seeks the double relief of separation from both his tautalizers by securing a divorce.
 The Corroscos were married July 10, 1914, at Corona, California.

 SUCCESSFUL ANNUAL HOP
(From l'rlaays Daiiy)

Well, the annual ball of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks las night was some affair. While the exact census of the Prescott loca of the B. R. C. is not available, il
 is understood that the B. R. C.s were outnumbered ten to one. The floor of the Od Fellows hall strug- gled to make room for the throng- ing couples.
 Pickerill's orchestra slipped into high at the outset, and issued such Ian assortment of joyful jazz that mot a foot in the hall but was set sliding. It was wicked music, wick ed music!
 Prescott attended the big affair in full force, for three solid hours setting its step to every measure with undiminished enthusiasm. Someone said that H. P. Matthews, visiting general chairman of the clerks for the coast lines division. would lead the grand march But someone must have been spoofing, for Mr. Matthews was far away
 The grand march, however, wasn't it was distinctly present, making an inaugural feature fully up to the rest of the brilliant occasion. The committee on arrangements, J. A. Crum, s. B. Hoover, Mrs. r. Mor- ris and the Misses Florence Barnes and Helena Noge, provided arrange ments that met with the fullest ap- prec;ation from everyone present In a word, the whole affair went off with eclat and aplomb, and lots of other things that make an annual ball thing to be remembered until the following year.

 With general indications that the big range movement is ended, and thin cattle will be in diminishing supply from now. on, prices for stockers and feeders were 25 to 50 cents up. Offerings of all quality clear freely Considerable demand for feeding cattle has not been sat isfied and indications are that a fairly good outlet will continue throughout this month.

 Sheep and Lambs
 Prices in the sheep division were 25 to 50 cents lower. Lambs sold up to S1L75, yearlings 5000, weth- CTS $6.75 and ewes $5.25. Lower prices elsewhere caused the decline here. Light receipts are expected for the next few weeks.

 LEGION WILL VISIT US

According to advices received here yesterday by Webster M Roberts communicated of the local post oi the American Legion, the American Legion national vice-commander will arrive in this state within a week or ten days, and if plans of Bert Clin- gan, American Legion state com mander for Arizona, are carried through, will visit Prescott for the purpose of acting on the local post situation.
 With the development of the post here and the influx of eN-service men to Whipple Barracks, the local situation, preseBting several prob lens to the Allan Love post, the situation is of a nature to be con sidered by the national organization. The large volume of work in con- nection with the local post is said to require the services of a paid seCrc- tary and a stenographer, and these may be furnished by the national legion.
 Among other problems, that of holding in Prescott the 75 or more couples who have settled here fol- lowing the discharge of the husband from Whipple Barracks is a prom inent one, vitally affecting the in- terests of the city and its business men. While in Prescott only tenn pofarily, these families must remain in the west, and by proper conSid- eration the large majority of them may be induced to choose Prescott for a permanent home.
