MANY RUSH HERE. TO HOMESTEAD. ARIZONA LAND.
Three Hundred More Appli
 cations Filed Each Month
 In Phoenix Office Than Were Made One Year Ago

Three hundred homestead and desert land applications q, month more than the number filed during the same months a year ago, testifies to the great demand for public lands in Ari- zona. according to l.. G. Rosengren of the United States lanG office at Phoe- nix.
 MT. Rosengren believes the vast in- crease in numbers of those taking up lands is due to the inflated price of real estate as well to the fact that hundreds of returned soldiers are seek ing property in Arizona. Many of the disabled soldiers have been advised by physicians to take up homestea6s and live and outdoor life. while others are seeking the lands, like many, for in vestments.
 There are many people who came here primarily to file on public lands, veyed lands in it's fourteen countless said Rosengren. sSeventy-five per cent of those who file on the lands prove up, while 25 per cent relinquish or abandon the property
 Many Make Fortunes
 The same law governing homestead and desert lands is in effect in every state where a continued residence of three years is required with a five months leave granted each year. One sixteenth of the area must be culti- vated during the second year, and an
 
 year.
 While the statutory life of an entry is five years, MT. Rosengren stated that a number of entrymen had made fortunes in cotton, while snug fortunes had been made in alfalfa.
 The approximate amount of surveyed lanG in the state, he gave as 7,142,5 ,565 acres and stated that the acreage of national forests was 12,076,769, with about the same area given to Indian reservations. Unsurveyed lands in Arizona, he said, numbered 13,572, ,220 acres.
 Unsurveyed Land in State
 The approximate area of surveyed land and its character in the different counties was given follows: Apache, 52S,033 acres, mountainous. ariG, tim Der; Cochise, 396,939, mountainous. grazing; Coconino, 330 16S mountain ous. grazing, timber: Gila, 35,71S, arid, broken: Graham, 352. .4S3, mountainous, grazing, broken; Greeniee, 99,372 acres, mountainous. grazing, broken: Mari copa. 962,346, arid, grazing. broken; Mohave. 1,404,720. arid, grazing, brok- en; Navajo 332640. arid, grazing, broken: Pima. 646,S59 mountainous arid. grazing; Pinal. 6s3 0S5, arid, graz ing: Santa Cruz. 52.562. mountainous, arid grazing: Yavapai. 532 606, noun tainous, grazing, broken; Yuma, 7S5, ,034 arid, grazing broken.

 Phoenix, Ariz., March II. 1920. To the Honorable, the Highway Com missioners of Maricopa County, Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 I beg to submit herewith report GOV erfng the engineering department from the period June, 1919. to March, 1920. This department was organized in June, 1919.
 Field Force
 Three field parties consisting of chief of party. transitman and two rodmen, each equipped with Ford tour ing car, were put in the field. In August. 1919 it was found that continuing with three parties. that the field work would be completed Ions before construction would start and desiring to hold and use as much of tIc on construction possible in the field force was reduced to two parties.
 In January. 1920, the field work was nearing completion and the date of construction was still very indefinite and being badly in need of draftsmen the field force was again reduced leav- ing one party to clean up the odds and ends.
 The party chief and transitman were transferred to the office force as draftsmen.
 On March 1st the field work was 97 per cent complete, or 276.5 miles com pleted.
 Office Force The office organization was started m June, 1919, and at that date con- sisted of office engineer chief drafts man and two draftsmen. During the months of July and August the office force was increased to six draftsmen and averaged between five and six draftsmen to March i, 1920. During the period between June.

The first report of the Maricopa County Highway Commission to the board of supervisors was made public yesterday at the offices of the board. The report points out that although no construction work has been done on the county's s4.000,0o road program as yet, the commission has been en- deavoring in the last few weeks to bring about conditions favorable to local as well as foreign contractors @in order to enable them to give us what the commission would consider a req scnab1e bid
 Much delay resulted, the commission indicates, in clearing it's path of legal entanglements, "as from the beginning there was some difference in opinion as to the powers of our commission from a legal standpoint" which result ed in two cases before the supreme court, the outcome setting al naught several months of effort
 The total expense of the commis-

1919, and March, 1920, more draftsmen could have been used and thereby re- ducing the cost of finished work, but owing to the vast amount of work, un- der way in most every section of the county, it was found impossible to se- cure the services of competent men.
 During this period the average length of service of any one man was two and one half months and out of the twen- ty-one men employed, three left vol untarily to attend school; eight left voluntarily to accept better positions and four were released on account Of lack of proper training and exper- fence.
 The efficiency of the office force has

rates at that time, of something like Sz75,000. In comparison you will see this is something like five and one half times the amount expended by the commission in all branches since its inception, and some progress has Eeen made along the line of securing better freight rates on cement and asphaltum. However, in the last few weeks we have been consistently en- ceavoring to bring about conditions that will be favorable to the local as well as foreign contractors in order to enable them to give us what the com mission would consider a reasonable bid.

of snow and rain last night and today.
The ground throughout the county has
thawed and is in a very receptive

help to hold the moisture and that is
exactly what is needed at this time of

Siockmen say the moisture will be
good for the range. The snow was
accompanied by a temperature of ~
degrees, so that there is little danger
of cold weather.
February was an unusually dry

PROHIBITION FIGHT THREATENS
TO OVERSHADOW TREATY AS BIG
ISSUE OF COMING CAMPAIGN
Late Developments Convince Senators Movement is Aoo
Dwarf Distinction Between "Interpretative" and "Amer
canzng" Reservations, Injecting Bone Dry Law as
Clear-Cut Question.
BY ]. w. T. MARTIN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Mar. 2.--Prohibi-
tion enforcement may overshadow the
treaty as the big issue of the presiden-
tial campaign, according to develop
ments on the last few days. As II be-
comes increasingly evident that the
senate is not likely to take final ac-
tion on the treaty and that the treaty
issue will be thrown into the campaign
there is an apparent movement to
dwarf it by injecting prohibition into
tho fight.
The movement is said to have the
backing of some politicians who do
not want the treaty as paramount is
sue IN November. Their belief is that
prohibition would oyershadow the
treaty.
This would be particularly true. II
Is held, II the two parties went into
the campaign with slightly different
treaty planks. but both favoring reser-
vations. The public might have a
hard time distinguishing between the
technicalities of "interPretative" res
ervations, such az the president has
said are acceptable to him and the So
called "AmericaniZing' reservations
which the president said would change
the league covenant to such an extent
as to make 1t impossible for him to ac-
cept such ratification.
But the clear-cut issue of beer and
Hight wines for home consumption as
against the present strict enforcement
dry laws would get to the public mind
Immediately so that the treaty might
be relegated to minor place, these poll
ticians argue.
tors, who are keeping in close touch
with the political situation to see n
marked increase in the activity of
light wine and beer advocates as soon
as the senate actually puts the treaty
aside.
