ASKED AND ANSWERED
Continued from Page Three

Q. When were the first national
political conventions held, and where.
A. National nominating conven-
tons grew out of dissatisfaction with
Congressional caucusses that handled
presidential nominations in the early
days of our national history. In 1882
there were three political parties, the
Democratic, Wing or National Repub-
lican. and the Anti-Masonic. All three
conventions were held in Baltimore in
1882

Q. I would like to know something
about fresh-water terrapin and their
uses for food
A. The United States Bureau OF
Fisheries says that within the Missis-
sippi Basin the word terrapin is either
a book name or a commercial term
applied by market men to such of the
hardshell turtles as find their way
into the trade. Evidently what are
known as pond terrapin," river ter
rapin," etc, are different brands of
fresh water turtles. For food purposes
turtles are used for soup and chowder.
They may also be fried, steamed and
simmered. Turtle outlets, curry Of
turtle, and turtle rivoli are well known
dishes.
Q. What is the largest state in the
Union, and what are its features.
A. Texas. 1t was admitted into the
Union as the twenty-eighth State on
December %, lS45. 1t is a great cot
State and has been noted
Tor its livestock interests. Texas has
been something of stormy-petrel,
md it seeded from the Union in 1861,
'ut was readmitted in 1870. 1t con-
aims 274,350 square miles and it is
stimated that it could handle a popu-
alton of 100000 people.

Q. Why the rag mani" What
does he do with the old rags?
A. Old rags are important in the
arts. They are used in paper-making
Wooden rags were until recent years
an important element in manufactured
fertilizers. Rags of loose texture and
not much worn are unraveled by
means OF machinery and mixed with
good wool and it becomes what is
known as shoddy.

SANTA FE MIGHT SELL
SOME OF THIS GIFT LAND
AND BUILD DEPOT HERE

While the Santa Fe railway system
has disposed of much of the land
grant holdings acquired with the old
Atlantic and Pacific system, it still
has title to 4,045,000 acres along its
right of way in Apache, Navajo, CO.
conino, Yavapai and Mohave counties,
assessed by the state at from 46
cents to $1.03 an acre, with a total
valuation of about $3,240,000. Most
of the land is available for grazing,
while some of it carries heavy growths
of yellow pine timber.
The company has been permitted to
take scrip for large holdings on the
Hopi Indian reservation and for
plains lands north of Williams for
about So an acre and about the same
in southern or central Arizona. Its
largest holdings now are on the semi
arid land in Mohave county, near the
Colorado river, to the extent of 1870
900 acres. 1t is understood that in
terests in succession to the old st.
Louis and San Francisco railway also

PRESCOTT MUCH WROUGHT UP
BY CLAIM THAT PEOPLE THERE
ARE UNFAIR TO V0LSTEAD

The business men and lawyers of
Prescott are much wrought up over
the action of several citizens who
filed affidavits with Federal Judge
Jacobs, which affidavits set forth that
the government could not secure jus
tice in Liquor cases because of lack
of sympathy for the enforcement of
the Volstcad law. BY reason Of these
affidayits nearly 200 liquor cases we're
transferred to Phoenix. No blame is
attached to Judge Jacobs for his
action, but bitter resentment against
those making the affidavits has man
ifested itself among the people gen
orally, who claim the affidavits are
without foundation and have brought
about great financial injury to Pres
colt. 1t is claimed that over $685.
600 was paid federal jurors ct the last
court session, which was mainly spent
in that city; that eventually the fed
efal court will be moved or at least
no sessions held there. Great fear is
also expressed that the federal hos
pital at TT. Whipple will also be ia
ken away from them should the gov
ernment be convinced that such sit
uation actually exists there.

GRAND TO CONTINUE HIS
WORK AL DIAMOND CREEK
BY Charles Sughrcs
8 Wsaern Newspaper Union

Belief that no attempt will be made
to stop work on the Diamond creek
dam project and the intention to
continue work without interruption
until the dam has been completed
were expressed by James B. Girand,
Phoenix engineer in charge Of the con-
struction work.
Mr.. Grand, to whom was issued
the original permit for construction
of the dam, later turned the permit
over to the Colorado River Engin-
eering and Development company, for
which he is supervising the work
started about three weeks ago. Mr..
Grand returned to Phoenix yesterday
from the site of the proposed dam,
and expects to return to Diamond
creek today.
SO far as he has been able to as
certain, Mr.. Grand said, no instruc-
tions have been issued to any federal
officials in Arizona instructing them
to see that work stopped. The only
information he has had, he said, was
that contained in news dispatches
stating that the federal power COM
mission had asked the department Of
justice to halt the work.
II believe that this is propaganda
for which those opposed to the dam
are responsible" Mr.. Grand said. 81
think it is politics at the bottom
However, we do not fear court test,
because politics will have no bearing
there. The government, | am sure.
will proceed carefully, making sure
that it has cause to believe legal
step justified by law, before any
attempt is made to interfere with the
work"
Mr. Grand added that the work
now in progress viii be continued
until the completion Of the dam, un-
less Interruptions from the outside
occur.
~ have heard the report that only
enough work will be done at the
present time to hold our permit. It
is true that we started work little
sooner than we otherwise would have
started in order to protect the permit.
You may say for me that we intend
to contiue work without interruption
until the dam is finished. We are not
up there to do anything that will
waste money"
The past three weeks have been
devoted to making excavations in
the east wall of the canyon for the
abutment of the dam, he said.

FEDERAL COURT TO MOVE
LIQUOR CASES TO PHOENIX

What is said to have been a severe
blow to pride of this part of the
court district as well as to all who
are being held for trial in the federal
court on charges of having violated in
some manner or other the prohibition
laws, was dealt at the close of the
morning session of the district court,
held before Judge Fred C. Jacobs,
when Assistant United States Attor-
ney George Wilson filed a motion for
the removal of all the liquor cases to
the Phoenix court on the grounds that
the government could not get fair
trial of the cases in Yavapai county.
His motion was based upon affidavits
to that effect signed by 80 residents
of the county.
After reading the motion carefully,
Judge Jacobs announced that there
seemed to be ample showing of cause
and ample authority to allow the mo-
ton and granted it.--Prescott Cour-
ier.
