Federal Man Completes
Appraisal of District

P. C.. Meredith, appraiser for
the drainage, levee and irrigation
division of the Federal Recon
struction Corporation, who has
been here the past week making
an appraisal of the Columbia r.
rigation District, completed his
work Wednesday and left for Spo-
kane. Mr.. Meredith indicates that
this district is an exceptionally
favored one and predicts that this
area will be one of the first to
see daylight when the break in
conditions comes. He also stated
that information from his depart
ment indicates that the admins
tration is planning to force mat
tiers and that the situation will be
considerably changed within the
next two weeks. Mr.. Meredith has
also figured out method of sta
bilizing commodity prices which
sounds interesting and reasonable
if it can be adopted.

May Plant IS Acres
More to Vineyard

The planting of an additional
35 acres of Highlands land to
vineyard is being considered by the
Church Grape Juice company.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an advertisement asking
for bids on the clearing, leveling,
blowing and preparing for plant
ing of the tract.
The company at the present
time has fifteen acres of grapes
on the Highlands and the new
tract is in the same neighborhood,
although not Immediately adjac-
ent. The company also has II
acres Of bearing Concord grapes
east of town along the river.
Of such unusually high quality
and average Of production, this
district is an ideal location for
juice grapes. Mr. Tilbury, mana
ger of the plant, is anxious to in
crease the company's holdings. II
the original costs are not too ex-
cessive his company plans to
plant the new tract as soon as
possible.

PLAN TO ADD
1000 NEW ACRES
ON HIGHLANDS
Government Considering Dis
trict as Location for Sub
sistence Homestead Pro-
ject; 65 to 20 New Settlers

A plan to add sixty to seventy
new homes on a thousand acres
of new land on the Highlands this
winter and spring is being work
ed out.
A Mr.. Courtice, working under
M. L. Wilson, in charge of the fed
eral subsistence homestead pro-
iects in the Northwest, was in
Kennewick the. first Of the week
looking over the Highlands prof.
ect with the view of including this
unit among those approved by the
department for settlement.
The plan is to select men with
farming backgrounds and exper-
fence, locate them on fifteen acre
tracts. A sufficient amount Of
federal money would be loaned the
settler to buy the land at very
nominal figure and set him up in
business.
According to the present plans
the loans would average about
$27O0 per family. This to be repaid
by the settler over a thirty year
period at four percent interest.
The loan would include $500 for
the purchase of the land, $50 for
the domestic water connection,
$40 for one years water rent,
some three hundred dollars for
seed and three hundred dollars for
seed and an allowance for stock,
machinery and buildings.
Such project, if it goes thru,
would mean decided impetus to
affairs locally and would add
greatly to the population of the
district. The additional users of
water on the Highlands would
also insure low maintenance costs
to the district.
The activity incident to the
clearing, leveling, fluming and
planting the land would be of i'm
mense help to the district at this
time and the building activity
would also add greatly to the re-
lief measures necessary thruout
the district. Practically every
line of business would feel the re-
suits of such a movement. OF
course it is to be understood that
nothing definite is settled at this
time. However, Mr.. Courtice was
so fayorably impressed with the
possibilities of this district that
he gave assurance that it would
receive his highest recommends
ton.

REGISTER AGAIN!

Even if you have again
changed your politics, there
will still be a year or SO before
you will have a chance to vote
again, but that needn't pre-
vent you from registering-if
you live within the city limits.
The new permanent registra-
ton books are now open at
the city hall and you can do
the job up once and for all
now. Mrs. Campbell would
like to get the job all done
before the first of the year If
possible.
In precincts outside the
city limits, voters will have to
wait a year before they regis
ter for the last time. Plenty
of notice of the opening of
those books will be given in
due time.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY RE-
LIEF FOR ARIz. SCHOOLS

The needs of the situation
and the fact that there are over
100000 unemployed teachers in
the United States led U. S.
Commissioner George Freder-
ick Zosk to call into conference
in Washington d. c. the state
superintendent of public in
Struction. In response to the
call and the program sent out
by Charles A. Lee, State Super
intendent of Missouri, who is
president of the Council of
State superintendent, forty
State Superintendents met in
Washington D. G. Sept. 1916,
for two-day conference.
Educational implications of
Federal Emergency Measures"
was presented by George F.
Zook, U. S. Commissioner of
Education. He stated that
none of us know the far reach
ing reconstruction that may re-
suit from the various n. R. A.
acts. At one fell swoop Child
Labor has been abolished, re-
leasing 100000 children from
labor to enter school ranks or
augment the army of the un-
employed. No child under the
age of sixteen may be employ
ed in manufacturing or indus
trial trades. To meet the emer-
gency there are $4,000 fewer
teachers than last year.
A symposium brought ex-
pressions from the forty state
superintendent as to how
their states are meeting the
present emergency. Facts given
disclosed that in all there are
100000 children out of
school. Many teachers in poor
sections of the country are gett-
ing less than $4,000 per year.
In some states warrants go
back over a period of two years
a total of S4O,OOO,OOO in out
standing warrants.

THE truth ABOUT OPENING
THE COPPER MINES

Editor Charles F. Willis Of
the Mining Journal, on the first
page of the issue on September
30, nails one of the largest of
the international mining COM
panies, the Mufulira (of Africa
to the cross of gold, in these
words:
The official reports show that
the ore reserves of the Mufulira
total 13, 400, 900, 900 pounds of
copper from AL per cent ore.
The reports add that this COM
pany can make excellent profits
at present copper prices. Mu-
fulira is ga per cent owned by
the American Metals Company,
Ltd, which fact accounts for
the vigorous opposition present
ed by that company to the
United States tariff on copper.
This big copper concern wants
the huge American market
thrown open to foreign copper.
Arizona once had SO produc-
ing copper mines, but today
only two remain in operation,
the United Verde Extension,
working at near capacity, and
the Phelps Dodge. mining the
rich Campbell ore body at Bis
bee.

COOLIDGE SHOULD
ERECT Street SIGNS

At special meeting of the
Coolidge Civic Club last Fri
day night a suggestion was
offered by Rev. Galbreath that
signs designating names of
streets and avenues in Coolidge
be erected. This may not
seem very important to old res
idents of the town but it would
help stranger sand new residents
to locate persons more conven-
iently. A small sign at inter-
sections would be inexpensive
and a great help to Coolidge
people.
This matter could be taken
up by the various organizations
of the town each doing their
share toward it and before long
each corner would have the
proper sign.

DON'T dump GARBAGE
ON VACANT GROUND

Several complaints have been
made recently by ranchers liv-
ing adjacent to Coolidge, of
parties dumping their garbage
and carcas of dead animals be-
side highways near their homes
There is a law governing this
matter which reads: "Any per-
son dumping carcases of dead
animals or refuse of any kind
within 40 rods of any public
highway commits misdemean-
or and is subject to a fine" If
you have any garbage to dis
pose of get the garbage man to
remove it or do a sanitary job
of it yourself and prevent a
penalty. Your neighbor doesn't
want your garbage on or near
his premises.

BENEFIT DANCE
TICKETS rs CENTS

The Chamber of Commerce
is sponsoring a benefit dance,
the proceeds to be used for the
purchasing of fire apparatus for
the Coolidge Volunteer Fire
Department, The chemical
trailer was wrecked last year in
a fire call to Kenilworth school.
Since that time there has been
no means of fighting a fire ex-
cept a bucket brigade.
The aim is to purchase a
fire truck with chemical appa-
ratus mounted and a suitable
place for fire men to ride.
This will mean a small out
lay for a fire fighting machine
that could be rushed to a fire
in a short time. Although
Coolidge is an unincorporated
town it has over 1000 inhabi-
tants scattered over large area
that need fire protection.
The dance will be held at the
Legion Hall on Wednesday
night, Oct. 25th, and it is ex-
pected that eveey citizen will
purchase a ticket regardless
if they can attend or not.
Solicitors will be around with
the tickets for sale at rs cents

BEAUTY SPOTS IN COOLIDGE

The San Carlos Indian Irriga-
ton building is surrounded with
Chinese Elm trees and lawn
which were planted two years
ago, and their rapid growth and
fresh appearance is due to the
efforts of Allen Huff, the care
taker of the building and
grounds, who is to be commen-
ded on the neat appearance of
this place.
The school grounds in Cool
idge has also been planted with
these rapid growing hardy shade
trees and have made wonderful
growth the past year, and the
lawn and shrubbery are also
kept in fine condition. The
Coolidge citizens can point with
pride at these places as well as
to some fine landscaping of
many dwellings in our little
town. ''Plant trees and flowers
should be the slogan of Cool
