The farm relief and tariff measures

The farming interests of the mid
west are in accord with any move

production of staple crops in the
irrigated areas Of the border country.

serve to promote expansion Of the

these industries q greater volume OF

ARIZONA METEOR
 RFSISTS EFFORT .
 0F DEVELOPMENT
HEAWW FLOW NE WATED STOPS WORK ~rwnorA v SHAFT
 WILL BE SUNK

\ WTNnsr0W Ariz., Dec.. 12 ,(P)
 Encountering more water than could ha controlled with the pres- ent equipment, at the 65O-foot level which has been reached by it's shaft. the Meteor Mountain Mining &J Exploration Co., has temnorarily suspended operations pending the report of an engineer and the 1n- Ftallation of more powerful ma chinery. Work will be resumed and the shaft sunk to the 14O0- foot level, the objective established by diamond drilling as the point where the imbedded mteor will ba found.
 This infofmation was released by Superintendent WI. C- GeorgIein at the plant of Che company to a news paper representative who visited the site to verify report that the meteor had been struck by the miners, which had been wildly pub- lished. Had the report been true, tt would have constituted the most valuable piece of news off the de cade from northern Arizona, both from scientific and industrial standpoint.
 Scientists have differed as to whether the crater near the mine 7ite was caused by a meteor, though the weight of opinion now incIines to that belief, which would be def- initely settled by the discovery. From the size of the crater, it is es- timated that the meteor is compos- ed of 10-00O,OO0 tons of mineral bearing rock, the float from which assays gross mineral values off $75 a ton. This denotes that the uncoY- ering of the metaroic body, when accomplished, will be ~ stupendous industrial accomplishment.
 According to MI. GeorgIein, su- Iperintendent in charge of the min ing operations, the delay IS only temporary. He states that the conn pany is having the experience com mon to all miners and oil prospect \ ors of the state. Engineers could not predict the volume off water which has proved s0 large that the 50O- horse power engines now in opera tion are unable t0 accommodate the pipes. The water will be pump ed out as waste The delay IS but an incident and the shutdown AS being utilized in overhauring and recon ditioning the machinery.
 Both miners and scientists agree that the discovery nf. the laraa va1- ume of water in the Cncanin0 sand~ thru which the shaft is hainr srrnr throws a valuable sidelipht on the origin of the crater- indicatinr that 1t was caused by an explosion which was aided hv the water cont ing in contact with the gases eman- ating from the hot metaroic hndv.
 Rings Oh cedar trees indicate that the meteor struck more than TOO years ago.. while Hopi Indian traditions make the date much earlier The development of the mineral values, are secondary in- centives to the exploration, as sci- entists want to know the secret that has been buried in the earth for centuries. and each years ex- ploration brings it closer to light.

 Generally, political observers and writers agree that the Presi- dent-elect doesn't forget hostile criticisms. It doesn't necessarily follow that he would seek revenge for attacks made on him, but he is not the kind of man or poli- tician who is going to heap fav- OTIS on someone who has been dealing him political misery for the better part of eight years.

POLITICAL POT IN ALASKA IS
 HEAT UP SOON
Parks Reappo oin m e n t Seems Probable Organ
 ization Holds Whip Hand
By J. E. PEGUEs

In a few weeks it will be open season for Alaska's quadriennial game of political appointments. Herbert Hoover takes office on March 4, and from then until all of the appointive Federal offices in Alaska are filled, if past pre- cedents can be used as signposts of the future, the trail to Wash ington will be wellworn for a time anyway.
 Everyti1ne new president takes up his residence in the White House, hopes spring anew in the hearts of more than a few of the Territory's hardy perennial office-seekers. And if there is not as numerous a battalion in this year of 1929, it will be be- cause there are fewer than usual offices to be filled.
 Offices To Be Filled
 There are 10 major offices to be filled in the coming 15 months by President Hoover These include Governor, Secretary of Alaska, two Federal district judges, four Unit ed States Marshals, Collector of Customs, and one United States district attorney. Two judges and three district attorneys have been recently appointed by President Coolidge for four-year terms, re- moving the offices they occupy from the arena of contention. Jus tin w. Harding has recently taken office as Federal judge in the First Division, and E. Coke Hill is now serving the second year of his ap- pointment to a similar office in the Third Division.
 United States district attorneys have been appointed in the last few weeks in the First, Third and Fourth Divisions-Howard D. Stab Ter in the First, Warren N. Cuddy in the Third, and Julian Hurley in the Fourth.
 Governor Is First
 Of Federal officers now serving in Alaska, the term of Gov. George A. Parks is the first to expire. He will have served four years on next June 15. There doesn't seem to be much question about his re- apDotntp,ant In faef a raDort from a reliable and responsible source, and one close to MT. Hoo yer, recently received here said positively that he was sure to be named for a second term.
 It is no secret that the office was virtually forced on MT. Parks by the then Secretary of Interior, Dr. Hubert Work The latter is now Chairman of the Republican National Committee and can be counted on to lend all of his in- fluence to his protege if it should be necessary. Parks has made an excellent record. and the critics of his administration have been few. If he wants the office again, and persons in position to know say he does, there doesn't seem to be any reason why MT. Hoo yer should hesitate to appoint him. He is regular" has some warm friends among Congressional dele gates from western States, and un- doubtedly will be endorsed by Ma tional Committeeman Capt. A. E.

 HOTEL HOLD-UP
Proprietor Pulls Gun and Blazes Away-Two
 Critically Injured

OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. 16.- Three men were shot, two criti- cally, in an attempt to hold-up the Metropolitan Hotel.
 The wounded included the hotel proprietor, Joseph Lee, and both robbers.
 Lee said the robbers entered the hotel lobby, drew their pis- tols and ordered him to open the safe. He turned as if to obey but seized a pistol and opened fire.
 Harry Stieger was shot in the forehead and is believed fatally injured.
 The other man, Jack McGary, was shot in the shoulder and hand. Meanwhile one of the rob bers returned the fire and one bullet struck Lee in the stom- ach. He was taken to the hos pital in a serious condition.

of political triumph for the en- dorsement of Capt. Lathrop. It is but natural for them to con clude that he can do more for them than the delegate.
 Appointments in 1880
 Unless the encumbents tender resignations, which has not gen. erally been done here under simi- lar conditions in the past, except for the Governor and Territorial Secretary, all other offices are filled for another year at least.
 J. c. McBride's tenure as Collec- tor of Customs expires in Febru- ary, 1880. It is a foregone con clusion that he will have the en- dorsement of the Republican or ganization in Alaska for reap pointment and is virtually sure to succeed himself
 U. s. Marshal Albert White of the Frst Division, has until May. 1880, to serve under his appoint ment by President Coolidge He was strong enough to win his job in face of determined opposition and has lost little if any strength since that time He gave loyal support and material assistance to Capt. Lathrop in the latter's cam paign for National Committeeman and it is said can depend on the endorsement of the National Com mitteeman.
 The terms of United States Mar shals Charles D, Jones, Second, Harvey Sullivan of the Third and Lynn Smith of the Fourth Divi- sion, expire on February 16. Vague reports reaching here tell of con tests to be made on them. What position Capt. Lathrop will take on them and on the appointment of a Federal Judge for the Fourth Division, now held by Cecil H. Clegg, is not known. His recom- mendation, it is believed, will be the deciding factor in each.
 It is regarded as virtually cer- tain that he will endorse Judge c. J. Lomen for another term if he is an applicant. His present term expires February 16. Un- confirmed reports from the Sec ond Division state w. F. Harrison, now holding office as U. s. Dis trict Attorney, might have to re- tire on account of illhealth.
