FORMER MAYOR PAIT.
SAYS HE KNOWS

In a letter from Clarkdale
of the Goth. former Mayor Paul
writes as follows in response
to the Miners query as to why
Wickenburg does not grow
any faster. Several comlnuni-
cations from former residents
have already beenpublished on
this subject, in an effort to
stir up a little pep among
our residents to correct cond1-
tions which initiate against
progress. Mayor Pauls brief
diagnosis will be gladly appre-
ciated by many OF our readers
which follows:
You have been figuring on
what is the matter with " W1sk-
enburg. | livNl there eleven
years and believe | know.
Wickenburg has a champagne
thirst with a root-beer price.
It was alright to put in the

to put in an electric plant, and
the people who were respon-
sible are gone-and the inno-
cent have to pay. | own pro-
perty in Wickenburg and
would have owned a lot more,
but saw no future. Wait until
some private parties get the
municipal plants and see where
the price goes. You can not
buy water for irrigation and
come out. If you raise Santa
Fe water price, they will put in
their own plant. AS it is you
have to run it any way and it
helps to pay overhead. Think
it over.

PREPARING FOR
FINAL PROOF,
Talk No. 7
Copyrighted 1920 by Cola w.
Shepard, Colony, Wyo.

Comparatively few entry
men fully understand the pur-
pose and significance of a final
proof. Many seem to think
that when they have complied
with the law the Government
should come and hand them a
patent, and that it is an i'm
position to ask them so nanv
questions before issuing the
patent. Entrymen frequently
remark that ''if the Govern
ment don't think thew have
complied with the law they can
come and see for themselves" !,
as if it were the duty of the
land office to carefully watch
them and whenever they had
made compliance with the law
to forthwith report their entry
for patent.
Now, this is not the case at
all. The law says that when
ever the entrymen shall prove
by his own testimony and that
of two witnesses that he has
fully complied with all the pro-
visions of the law, then he shall
be entitled to a patent. If he
wants a patent it is up to him
to prove that he is entitled to
it, and this is the purpose of
making final proof.
The Land Department has
prepared a number of ques-
tons which are asked Of the
claimant, and other questions
which are asked of the wit
nesses. In the ma aiority Of cases
the answers to these questions
will bring out the important
facts. showing the compliance
or noncompliance Of tie en-
tryman with the homestead
laws, but IN many cases every
question may be truthfu11v an
sWered and yet the proof fail
to show that the entrvman Is
entitled to a patent. It would
be impossible to make uD a. set
of questions that would cover
every case under our present
complex system Of homestead
laws without adding a great
many more questions and MAX
ing the final proof much
more difficult matter, but if
the entrynan will remember
that the questions are asked
him to help him prove his point
and will study these questions
beforehand and prepare his an
sWers so as to fully show what
he has done, he will have no
trouble with the proof.
These questions are not sec
ret, and every entryman may
know beforehand just what
questions he will have to an
Swer and also just what ques-
tions his witnesses will have to
answer, and he should be fully
prepared to answer every ques-
ton as it is asked, taking a
written memorandum with him
if necessary in order to get
dates and figures accurate.

WICKENBURG'S BIG FIRE
Entire Curry Block Is Almost
Destroyed d.-Reconstruction
Already Under Way.

About 12:45 p. m. Thurs
day an alarm of fire startled
the tenants of the Curry block
who all flocked outside of the
building. Everything and
everybody were soon in COM
motion and by the time the
fire apparatus arrived, it was
apparent that the block was
doomed for a serious confla-
grafton.
The occasion of the alarm
was caused by a small blaze
near the ice plant which soon
spread to an oily work bench
on which two tanks of fuel oil
were resting. An explosion Of
one of these tanks spread the
fire in all directions, licking
UP everything over which the
oil had been scattered. Another
Explosion soon followed, which
catapulted machinery and gas
pipe high in the air and over
into neighbor lots. 1t was the
the ammonia reservoir of the
ice plant which was of such
force, that it blew in the rear
plate glass doors Of the Miner
office, creating a vent which
drew the flames into the print
ing office and we'll nigh ended
its usefulness.
i The flames were confined to
the butcl1ershop and barber
shop for a time by the fire boys
and were we'll nigh under CON
troll, when the second explo-
sion increased the area of blaz
ing ferocity. Sheds and out
houses soon were leveled to the
ground and efforts were then
confined to the printing office
and bank with good results.
Holes were cut in the roof and
the entire structure flooded.
The ice plant is a total loss,
the butchershop, owned by F9e-
lipe Garcia and the Miner Of
lice, were almost gutted, but
little being removed. Mrs
DoW's refresPment parlor and
barbershop also suffered sew
erely. The Traders bank was
deluged with water and in half
an hour after the water was
shut off was open again and
ready for business.
There were several acci-
dents due to falling timbers,
flying window glass, and burn
ing embers from the ceilings.
Billy Morton fell thru roof
and received severe cuts and
bruises, Vim Carpenter was
cut badly about the head and
face and rushed to the local
doctor who administered aid
promptly; Bill Genung mar
roWly missed being blown to
atoms when the big explosion
occurred.

of the sufferers, except 5000

the land with him and also look
over the questions they will
have to answer and be sure
that they are prepared to an
sWer all the questions as asked.
1t is not enough for the wit
nesses to know that the entry
man has lived on his land
pretty much of the time, and
has had in some crops every
year. Witness must be able to
state exactly when entrynlan
established an actual residence.
If he cannot remember he
should ascertain before appear
ing at the proof. He must also
state definitely when entryman
was absent from the land. If
he does not know he must find
out, and if there have been
several absences he should
have a written memorandum
of the dates when the entry
man left the land and when he
returned. He must also know
how many acres of the entry
were cultivated to crops each
year, and what crops were
planted. The entryman must
also give the amount harvested
but witnesses are not required
to give the yield.
In giving proof on stock
raising homesteads the wit
nesses must know exactly what
Improvements were placed on
the land in compliance with
the provisions of that law, and
must be able to give the cost
of such Improvements, state
Where they are located on the
claim and when they were
placed there. If there be an
original and stock-raising ad-
ditional entry, the witness
must be able to state which i'm
provementS are on each tract
of land, for the improvements
in connection with the stock
raisingadditional entry must
be shown positively to be on
that entry, and to have been
placed there after that entry
was allowed.
Frequently all these points
have been complied with, but
the witnesses do not know
when they come to give in their
testimony, and the proof is
faulty. In such cases the en-
try1nan would save himself a
lot of trouble and delay by call
ing the attention of his wit
nesses to these points before
taking them to the land office.
Claimant and witnesses must
each give in their testimony
separately, and it is too late to
find out these things when wit
ness has started to give in his
testimony.

Breeder Is Anxious for
Strong Litter of Pigs


When the sows start narrowing in
the fall the breeder is anxious that
there will be large filters of strong
and vigorous pigs. This can be ac-
complished if the feeding and care of
the brood sows is adequate Usually
the herd during the summer months
are under more favorable conditions
than in the winter. If they have
plenty of succulent forage, shade and
water, most of the problem of feeding
is solved.
The sows should gain enough to equal
that which they will lose during the
time of narrowing and the lactation
period which follows. This gain for
a mature SOW should be in the neigh
borhood Of rs or 80 pounds. The gain
should be a little larger in the case
Of yearling sows.
During the first part Of the gesta-
ton period it should not be necessary
to feed grain if the soWs have access
to good pasture. Every attempt
should be made to maintain them upon
green forage, because the sows will
then have plenty of exercise and the
cost Of feeding and care will be mate
rally decreased. In addition this is
the ideal condition for a brood sow
and later they will have an easier time
in plugging, the pigs will come in bet
ter condition, and the milk flow will
be ample.
The sows should never be allowed
to lose flesh. They should make the
required gain in flesh indicated above
and this can be done during the last
half of the summer. During this time
and up until the time Of narrowing
the sows should receive some grain.
If the pasture is one Of the legume
crops the feeds necessary to supple
ment this may be homegrown feeds
or those which are usually easy to
obtain. If the pasture is just an ordi-
nary one 1t may be necessary to pur-
chase such feeds as tankage, linseed-
oil meal, shorts or middlings to supple
ment the corn fed. The amount of
grain to feed and the time to start
feeding the grain will all depend upon
the condition of the sows.
The feed which a SOW requires is
important but the shade and water are
also important considerations. There
should be plenty Of shade and the
water should be fresh cool and in am
pie amounts. In extremely hot weather
there should be some place in which
the hogs can wallow.-B. W. Fair
banks, Associate Professor Animal
Husbandry, Colorado Agricultural Col

LIVE STOCK NOTES


If given constant access to the
proper feeds the hog cannot be over
fed.
More trouble comes from not giving
the sows care before narrowing than
after narrowing.
The man who pins his faith to good
hogs and sticks by them through thick
and thin, wins out in the long run.
The place in which the sow is to
farrow should be warm enough that
large quantities of bedding will not be
needed for warmth.
Give the pigs plenty Of water and
shade throughout the warm months.
Both are essential to the best health
and growth of the animals.
1t is the amount steer eats over
and above what he needs to maintain
his weight that makes fat. The aim
is to keep him eating as much as pos.
sible, without going off feed.
Pennsylvania steer feeders find that
they gained an average of $15 a steer
over four years ago by having silos.
Don't allow pig, once born, to
just exist, but make hog of him as
soon as possible. Be sure to have the
pigs on pasture.
1t is evident from a recent study of
the horse situation made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture that there is returning a growing
interest in the horse-breeding bust
ness.

When a pig in northern Ireland
reaches a weight of from ITO to 1915
pounds he had better be marketed, re
ports Vice Consul Barringer, Belfast
because to fatten him up any more
would require more feed than the ex-
ira pork is worth. The smaller the
pig the greater the gain in live weight
from the consumption of a given guam

urged, therefore, to market their pigs
when they weigh from 10 to 195
pounds and not to continue feeding
them until they have. reached heavier
weights.

They we're uncertain at first, but
as their certainty increased Mes per

There are three ways TO settle
