PETITION Of THE
HIGHLINE ASSN.
Petition to Protect Water Locations
BY State of Arizona

Following is a petition now being
numerously signed;
To the Honorable George w. P. Hunt,
Governor of Arizona, and
To the Honorable State Water Com
missioner.
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned citizens of Ar
izona, desirous of assisting the Ari-
zona Highline Reclamation Associa-
tiOn in the development and protec-
tiOn of Arizona's interests in the Col
orado River, spontaneously assembled
together at the Governors office in
Phoenix, Arizona, this the 29th day
of May, 1925, respectfully petition yon
to do Immediately three important
things required to protect and develop
Arizona's irrigation and power rights:
FIRST-Arrange so that the State
shall have direct supervision Of the
$50 900 Appropriation made by the last
Legislature to be expended in coop
GRAFTON with the agents of the Federal
Government, which shall use a like
amount. The Assistant Attorney Gen
eral has advised us that, under the
law, Arizona could spend this money
under State supervision, how and
where the State may see fit. The
Geological Survey, a bureau of the
Federal Government, could likewise
spend the Federal Governments ap
preparation, and yet all the money
could be spent in such cooperation
as the recent enactment Of the Ari-
zona Legislature contemplated. If the
State does not have the supervision
and expenditure of it's own money,
then it is much better for the State
not to spend any of the money under
the supervision Of the Geological Sur
vey as long as the attitude of the
representatives of that survey is to
take Arizona's money and use it to
further an enterprise for another
State Typographical works will not
furnish the information Arizona now
requires.
SECOND-That you instruct the
Attorney General to bring suit against
the Diamond Creek Dam interests,
which are now in the Federal courts.
If this Diamond Creek scheme is car
ried out, it will tie up all the poten-
tial power possibilities of the Colo
RADIO River Canyon and prevent the
irrigation of at Least 3,5O0,000 acres
of land in Arizona. If we do not in
tervene with suit, the court will
have no legal way of knowing this
fact
THIRD-That you constantly pro
tect the States filings made by Fred
T. Golfer on the dam sites of the
Spencer, Glen and Bridge Canyons,
and on the Highline Reclamation Ca
nal, -Williams-S -Sturtevant STAN
surveys, made to provide irrigation
for 3,5OO,O0O acres of land and to de-
velop 100000 electric horsepower. In
this connection we ask you to file

OLD TRUNK GIVES UP ITS MIN
ING SECRET

From Omaha, by way of Tucson,
comes a tale of the discovery years
ago of an old mine, the discoverer not
profting, evidently by his find. An
old trunk was sold the other day in
Omaha by the railroad company among
the unclaimed baggage and the pur-
chaser found rich ore in it and de-
scription of the find, away down in
the wilds of southern Arizona. And
now comes the fellow who grubstaked
the prospector, who is on a still hunt
for the mine. The story goes some
thing as follows:
The finding of the ore in the trunk
caused litigation over it's ownership.
The story was printed in the Omaha
papers. ]. A. Allen, 70 years old, an
inmate of the Dayton Ohio, soldiers
home, saw the story and the descrip-
tiOn tailed with that of man he
grubstaked % years ago, De Estine
Sheppard. The property, according
to the grubstake agreement made with
SHEPPARD is now half Aliens or if
Sheppard is dead as he is believed
to be, the entire property reverts to
Allen unless there are other heirs.
For many years a prOspectOr and
mining engineer, Allen found the call
of the lost mine too strong to resist
and gathering his meagre savings left
the soldiers home and started over
land by motor for Arizona. Accord
ing to papers in the possession of AL
len, the mine is located within so
miles of Tucson and the aged pros
pector left for the hills where he said
he would remain until he found it.

PROF. SCOPES REFUSES FORTUNE
IN EVOLUTION PUBLICITY

An earnest young man, to whom an
original copy of the constitution of
the United States apparently appeals
more than the offers of a small for
tune and movie publicity, is on his
way to Tennessee, prepared to be the
self-termed "goat" next month i'll the
widely noticed Tennessee evolution
case.
John T. Scopes. the youthful science
teacher, is that man. He taught the
theory of evolution to his class at the
Dayton, Tennessee, high school. He
left New York, the New York Times
said, after having refused offers ag-
gregating $150,000, for opportunity Of
prominence in movie pictures.
The wool growers of Arizona want
the government to turn over the re-
manning public domain in it's area
to the state. They see the inability
of raising stock to profit in the
small area left the State of Arizona
that is not already under dominion OF
the government and handled to the
detriment of the stock raising indus
try. Usurping of nearly seven tenths
of the State of Arizona for federal
profit and bureaucracies, presents a
problem of high cost of meat and
stock raising products. Killing the
industry by federal dominion makes
for high prices in lumber, minerals,
and livestock

Rev. Christ Larsen of Milaca,

day School Union, will be at the
Jackon school house, between
Bruno and Askov, next Sunday,
March 22nd, at 1890 a. M, for

away from their own church to

affiliated with any church. Ev-
cry one who is interested in re-
ligious training is requested to
be present and a special invita-
ton is extended to the young
people and children.

three times as much raw potatoes
at it did cooked to produce the
same gain and the gains were
much more rapid in case of the
cooked potatoes. These tests also
indicate considerable possibilities
of expansion of the swine enter
prise on Pine county farms. At
the present time sufficient hogs
are not kept to dispose of the
available skimmilk to advantage.
BY combining skimmilk and Gull
potatoes with a limited feeding
of home grown barley or corn
where it can be successfully
grown or purchased feed such as
corn, barley or shorts, it would
be possible to dispose to good ad-
vantage of these unmafketable
products and add materially to
the net income of the farm. In
years like the present when po-
tato prices are low and feed
prices are high, it would doubt
less prove profitable to feed some
marketable potatoes rather than
buy much feed for hogs.
Those interested in further de-
tails of these feeding trials may
obtain this report free of charge
by writing the South Dakota
Agricultural Experiment Station
at Brookings, South Dakota and
asking for Bulletin 209.

POTATOES AS A FEED
FOR FATTENING HOGS

as compared with corn at $2.35
as it has been selling in Pine
county this winter. In other
words until the price of potatoes
gets above 50 cents per cwt. lin
Guiding cost of cooking) it would
be better to feed them to hogs
than buy corn at $2.35 per cwt.,
providing they did not compose
over one half the total feed.
1t would be interesting if these
experiments had been extended
to see how far potatoes could be
used as a substitute for corn or
barley in fattening hogs. In these
tests no attempt was made to
substitute for more than half the
grain ration.
The results with raw potatoes
were not so satisfactory. 1t re-
quired 513 pounds of new pota-
toes in the fall to replace 100
pounds of corn and 962 pounds of
old potatoes fed during late win
ter and spring. The raw pota-
toes became less palatable as the
season advanced and they were
less effective as a feed. This diff
ference was not noticed in case of
cooked potatoes.
These trials brought out very
strongly one of the difficulties
in feeding potatoes. During cold
weather when the hogs were con-
fined indoors most of the time
and got little fresh air or sun
shine they developed ricketts, very
rapidly so as to be seriously Grip
pied in many cases In these
trials they succeeded in correct
ing this trouble by mixing a lit
tie ground alfalfa hay and oil
meal into the ration. This seemed
to offset the deficiency in the
potatoes. No trouble of this kind
was experienced when the pigs
were running outdoors and get
ting plenty of sunshine.
These tests show quite conclu-
sively the advantage of cooking
potatoes for hogs. 1t required
from one half more to nearly
