CAMERON SAYS DRIFT FENCES
MUST NOT BE ORDERED OFF
RANGES

From testimony received through
out the West it is the concensus of
opinion of the committee that the
cattlemen absolutely need the pro-
lection of the fences, and our recon-
mendation to the Secretary of the
Interior will be to that effect" said
Senator Ralph H. Cameron of Ari-
zona, while ]. H. Lester, New Mex
leo cattleman was testifying before
the Senate Committee, at Albuquer-
que, New Mexico.
The committee has been informed
by Secretary Work that the question
of the removal of the drift fences
on public domain will remain in sta
tus quo until the public lands COM
mittee of the Senate reports.
Mr.. Lester further stated that 5000
of the cattlemen in New Mexico would
be eliminated in business if the fences
were removed. The average cattle
man, he said, cannot stand the cost
of protecting his cattle fifty to sew
enty five miles from his headquarters.

FIVE POINTS ADVANTAGES

Five Points, that part of West Phoe-
nix, is showing it's wonted winter ac-
tivities. Everybody appears prosper
Gus and busy. No wonder! Compar-
isons are obvious. It's the natural
trading center for country folks from
the west and north, where there is
plenty of parking space without dan
ger of being tagged for parking too
long. House rents and everything
else are more reasonable in this area
and it is fast becoming the factory
region of the metropolis where work
ers congregate and live close to their
employment. Nine groceries take care
of household needs here at prices a
little lower than elsewhere.

ARIZONA ASBESTOS MINES GET
TING INTERESTING

T. c. Hoyt of Snowflake has re-
turned from a trip to Chicago, Wash
ington and New York and other east
ern points where he has been to for
ward the interests of the power pro-
ject on the upper Salt River in the
White Mountains south of HolbrOok,
and the properties of the San Carlos
Asbestos Mining Company
Mr.. Hoyt states that he found
plenty of capital ready and anxious
to take hold of the power develop
ment and that one result of the trip
will be the beginning of final sur
veys for the layout of the power
plants with view to early construc-
tionO of one or more units of the
project
Visiting the offices and plants of
many manufacturers of asbestos pro-
ducts, Mr.. Hoyt found great interest
in the Arizona fiber Manufacturers
already acquainted with it, spoke
highly of the fibre and admitted it's
superiority over the Canadian pro-
duct several important respects,
particularly for electrical insulation
Manufacturers owning interests in
Canadian asbestos mines wanted to
appear rather Indifferent to the de-
velopment of asbestos mining in Ar
izona, but could not quite conceal
their interest in the matter and in
the samples Mr.. Hoyt exhibited OF
those manufacturers and dealers not
biased by the fact of their interest
in Canadian properties, Mr.. Hoyt
states that their interest amounted
to enthusiasm and their only con-
cern was as to the amount available.

State And Peninsula News

Berlin Masons, who have made their
home in the Derrickson building, for
years, are at present making prepa-
rations to move into their new home
in the Adkins building on Main St.,
opposite the U. S. post office, follow
ing the purchasing Of the building by
the Masonic order.
Consideration involved in the trans
action was not disclosed however, it
is understood that neat sum was
paid for the new hall.
The Eastern Star Lodge, together
with the Masons will occupy the new
quarters. The new home is located
in the heart Of the city and is con-
sidered one Of the best Masonic Halls
in this section.
The old home of the order in the
Derrickson building, though not as
pretentious as the new hall, will al
ways be remembered in the minds of
many of the Masons, especially those
who "first saw the light" of Masonry
| in Derrickson hall.

Colored Camp Meeting time is ap-
preaching and numerous objections
have been filed by property owners
with the Talbot County Commission
ers.
There is local law which makes it
misdemeanor to hold such a camp
without permit granted by the Com
missioners, and it is the enforcement
of this law that the petitioners have
reference to.
In one instance in Chapel district
there were numerous objections filed
on Tuesday, so many, indeed, that
the States Attorney was sent for and
told to get in communication with a
certain colored minister advertising
a camp, that he must appear before
the Commissioners and secure a per-
NIT before the camp will be permitted
to open.
The DIRECTORS said that last year a
similar camp was menace to the
neighborhood for miles around, that
bootleggers thronged the place and
that drunkenness and disorder was
terrible. Several shooting ARRAYS
have resulted, and the county has been
put to expense to prosecute the Of
fender and farmers in that section
have been completely without labor
due to the imbibing of all kinds of
outlaw whiskey.
The law requires the persons pro-
posing to hold camp to first get the
signatures of twenty-five white resi-
dents and property owners in the
radius of three miles of the camp site
asserting to its being held, and to
then present this document to the
County Commissioners who are au-
thorized to use their discretion in the
matter.
For some years prior to the pas
sage of the law it was practically i'm
possible to get work out of colorerl
labor when the Camp Meeting season
begun, this too, at the busiest season
of the year. Besides the disorder of
the camps, the monetary loss was con-
siderable. The law was passed to
correct these evils.

should go and Bemis Bags Racks and Scales in
the fields and talk with farmer who is using Them
yourself how easy is to make $4,000 to 5000 saw
n every car of potatoes you ship.
asst week our representative spent half day with far
mile south of Eastvlle who is shipping his entire CT
bags The sackng of the potatoes followed from
ickin to the loading in the and this farmer ask
is frank opinion of the bag proposition.
Here are few questions asked him and his
swers:
@. Do you find the bags easy to distribute in the
fields?
A. Bags are all right. I put out enough bags in
half an hour with mule cart and boy to pick
up all dug the afternoon before. This one mule
cart is better than the two mule wagon used to
use with barrels, because don't get my hills of
corn trampled down and the wheels and mules
hoofs don't cut up the potatoes. Besides it took me
two to three hours to put out my barrels so I'm
saving money right here.
O. Do your pickers object to the bags?
A. The picking up doesn't give me any trouble.
pay the same as barrel and with the racks the
pckers don't kick
O. How does the weighing device work?
A. My pckers know now how full to fill bags and
get the weight in all right. use the scales right
here in the field and see that short weight bags
get into the car.
@. Do you find sewing the bags any harder than
heading a barrel?
A. The sewing had me worried at first but after a
little practice caught onto way to do it quick
and can sew bag now quicker than can head up
barrel. I'd rather sew two bags anytime than
head up one barrel.
@. How about getting the filled bags from the
field to the car?
A. Carrying the bags to the car is quicker and
easier than barrels as they load easier onto the
wagon and I can carry more each load.
@. Are the filled bags easy to handle in the car?
A. The bags are lot handler than barrels in the
car . I use little hand truck to carry them from
the door of the they come off the wagon and
when l get them to the end they lots easier to
stow than barrels.
@. How do you stow the filled bags in the cars?
A. I stow the bags so they have air passage
down both sides of the car and the center and so
far haven't had any kick on the condition the po-
tatoes arrived in.
@. How many bags do you load in car?
A. put 200 bags in car, as they allow 10000
To. minimum with bags and don't pile any bags at
the doorway at all. This keeps the sun off them
and gives better chance for the air to get at them
@. You seem to like bags better than barrels?
A. Yes sir they are cheaper and easier handled
and save you lot of little things you don't
til you use them. IL the returns come through as
they should I'll never have another barrel on my
farm.
'OTATO GROWERS The Bemis Bag is the most practi
nd economical cOntaner for your potatoes and when
18th the Bems Bag Rack and weighing device, is cheaI
nd easier to handle, in the fields and than barrels
OF let tell you bags can't be used Go and
sed and talk with the farmer using them and find out
acts for yourself.

nounced that the raising of $4,000
shad until they became two inches
long before liberation at the State
fish hatchery at Crumpton, on the
Cheser river, has created much in

Explaining the cause of the pres
ent California earthquakes, DR.. J. S.
Grasty, for many years professor of
geology at the University of Vir-
GINA, said that in general they are
the result of slipping along lines of
well recognized weakness as evidenc-
ed by faulting.
The major faulting has been map
pee and from time to time further
adjustments may be expected. Great
faults occur here in Virginia but they
are in much younger rocks and in
the enormous lapse of time that the
rocks resulted from mountaineering
movements, the seismic forces and
disturbances have about spent their
energy.
