Beer Has Full Legal Status

Washington.-Beer as medicine en-
Joys a full legal status through the IN
expected action Of treasury department
Tuesday. In promulgating regulations
permitting its use for that purpose.
Issued in accord with an opinion SUBJ
mitted by former Attorney General
Palmer last March 3, holding the medi-
cinal use of beer to be legal under the
prohibition laws and after being with
held since then, in anticipation of early
action by congress on the pending anti
beer measure, announcement of the
beer regulations came as a surprise to
prohibition leaders.
While the new rules, covering the
use of wine and spirituous liquors as
medicines, as we'll as beer, fix limit
of two and one-half gallons, the sequi-
valent of a case, on the amount of
beer that may be prescribed to the
same person at one time, no arbitrary
limit is placed on the number of pres
criptions one preson may obtain within
given period.

A number of reclamationists from
Creston headed by Guy Constable
chairman of the Valley Reclamation
Board, recently made an inspection of
the drainage works, and were pleased
with the manner in which the work
was being carried out and the pros

tract. Reclamationists throughout the
valley are greatly encouraged and

WOULD GIVE PUBLICITY TO
KOOTENAI VALLEY DRAINAGE

A. j. Kent. who for many years has
ben an ardent booster for the recla-
nation of the overflow lands of this
district, is sending an article this
week to several influential newspapers
published in Canada in which he tells
of the progress being made in recla-
nation matters, in hopes of stirring
the Canadians interested to greater
activities In connection with the ar
ticle he is sending a number of photos
OF the retaining work being done in
Drainage District No. l, south of Bon
ners Ferry. The article written by
Mr. Kent follows:
The reclamation of the Kootenai val
ley in southern British Columbia and
northern Idaho has received consider
able attention by the public of late.
This problem is an international one,
embracing the reclamation of 100. 900
acres alluvial lands of proved fer
tility.
Engineers of British Columbia and
Idaho are now completing the gather
ing of data which will enable the gov
ernments concerned to formulate final
plans for the consumation of this
great project. 1t is expected that a
conference to this end will be held
shortly. Should the result of this con-
ference show the project to be as feas-
lble and desirable as anticipated by

those best informed a treaty for the
reclamation of these lands will be en-
tered into by the government of the
United States and the Dominion of
Canada. The government at Ottawa
mas already made overtures to the gov
eminent of the United States, inviting
them to enter into an Arrangement or
agreement whereby the lands in ques-
ton may be reclaimed under terms
and conditions just and equitable to
both countries.
Secretary of State Hughes recently
advised the British embassy at Wash
lngton, ID. c., that this project would
receive recognition through the pres
ent administration. We may EXPECT
that this treaty will soon be form
ulated
The main reclamation work bene-
fitting in a general way all of these
lands will have to be done along the
west arm of Kootenai lake. Certain
internal drainage work is, however
required and can be successfully car
ried out by drainage districts formed
under the laws of Idaho and British
columbia, but they would be of little

Phoenix is out to add to her fame.
 Don't let George do it all,
 But get in the game.
 Which may be rotten verse but carrying a punch full of the right idea, according to D. W. Tempske, who is handling the Armistice Day parade arrangements for the Indus trial Week committee.
 The sooner people drop the idea that Industrial week is a merchants show for the sole benefit of them selves. the sooner will success be as- sured." declared Tempske. "The whole affair has been planned in the interests of a greater Phoenix and every man woman and child in the community should take pride in par ticipating in the various activities which go to make up and put over a successful undertaking.
 In the decorated car section of the Armisuce Day parade, an opportun- ity is offered to every car owner to get in the game of making Indus- trial Week worth while event, one which will give Phoenix a standing as an up and coming town that has learned the knack of doing things in a metropolitan way.
 A prize well worth treasuring will be offered for the best dec0ated machine in the line of march. Flow

CTS, flags, bunting or draperies or greenery of any sort may be useo for decorative effects. No restric- tions are placed as to the character of decorations but no machine un- decorated will be allowed to enter the competition.
 Definite assurances have been given as to the participation in the parade of the Phoenix Union high school cadets and band. The Indian school band and cadets, and the stu dents of the St. John Mission and the Mission band. The Shriners' patrol and bugle corps and the E,lks drill team and fife and drum corps will also be in the line of march. Invitations are now being prepared asking every lodge in the city to participate.
 Three opportunities are offered lodges and similar organizations for participation. They may enter marching bodies, float or a deco rated automobile. Entries in all ethree divisions will close November 5.
 An especial appeal is being made at this time. however, to house. holders who own cars, and in order to aid the committee all who expect to enter cars are asked to fill out the following coupon which may be delivered to or mailed to the chamber of commerce.:

If you are at all interested in this cause it will pay you to read on, remembering that the plans here with have been thoroughly investi- gated by the American Legion, De- partment of Arizona, and found mer- itorious, and are the subject of reso- lutions of recommendation to the na- tional convention. If, upon reading this pamphlet, you are convinced of the soundness of this proposition, go to your member of the resolutions committee and get him to vote for a resolution by this convention endors- ing the plan. All your well wishes will count for nothing unless you do"
 The booklet also points out that no state in the Union offers better op- portunities for soldier settlement than Arizona where millions of acres of undeveloped land now belong to Uncle sam
 Favorable comparison of the soil and climatic conditions is made be- tween the Gila Valley and the Salt River valley. Concerning the water e et4AetJ4C 1O4 AAlC Actllu dSSlltQ d QS- scription is given of the new Gillespie dam and the following facts quoted:
 '.The normal flow of GiIa river at the point of the dam is the com bined normal flow of the Salt river, the Agua F'ria and the Gila river, which in the driest seasons this country has experienced in many years, would cause a flow of water over the entire length of this dam sufficient to fill the canal to between three and four times it's capacity The capacity of the canal at present is 750 second feet. All the perma- nent structures on the canal are built for an ultimate capacity of 1500 second feet, which means that at any i future time the canal could be en- larged to take in additional lands l without enlargement of the perma-
 nent structures. A large body of l government land is available and
 could be brought under this system. though at present not included in this project"

DELEGATES ID SPREAD GOSPEL
 IF ARIZONA LANDS

In going to the American Legion convention at Kansas City represen- tatives of the department of Arizona are prepared to thoroughly advertise this state, especially the GiIa River valley, by means of a very complete descriptive booklet. The booklet has been compiled and will be distributed by the American Legion, department of Arizona.
 The pamphlet has been prepared as part of a movement by the state con tingsnt to interest the American Legion convention in the possibilities of the Gila Valley for soldier settle ment purposes. Agua Caliente springs are also described il the booklet and their health giving properties held forth as a relief for disabled sol- 6iers.
 Resolutions recommending that the government purchase the Gila River valley for ex-service men and develop Agua Caliente springs for the same purpose were passed at the last state convention of the American Legion held in Prescott last August.
 Tn the following foreword to the booklet is explained its purpose:
