TO BOOM THE SOUTHWEST

A convention to promote the interests of the great southwest and particularly to induce immigration into the states and territories included in this pros porous section of the Union, has been called to meet in St. Louis April l6 and F, under the auspices of the business mems league of that city. Invitations have been sent to the governors and all commercial bodies of the states and territories comprising the southwest, and it is expected that three hundred or more delegates will attend.
 The railway companies have lent their aid to the movement by granting a round-trip rate of one-half fare plus 50 cents to all who may want to attend, and, besides, they are doing whatever is in their power to advertise the con vention and its value to the southwest ern country.
 The opportunities in the southwest are numerous and of varied character. In most instances the settler and the miner have kept ahead of the mer- chant, and as result there are numer- ous localities where there is splendid field for all kinds of merchandising. The great bulk of immigration at the present time is into the southwestern and southern states, and both sections are developing in a manner so rapid that it is difficult to keep track of their needs. There are thousands of farmers, mechanics and merchants in the north and east who are looking for new locations and in newer countries. It is these classes that the southwest wants. They are the home-builders and developers, the best citizens of every community, and the southwest wants them.
 The convention will probably result in a permanent body of some kind that will look after the interests of the southwest in the matter of immigra- tion. It will exploit the resources of the various states and territories of the southwest, showing the peculiar feature of different localities in other words, furnish the prospective settler in the southwest the most reliable in- formation obtainable relative to towns, farming and mining localities. The railroads entering this section have al ready done a great deal toward adver- Using its advantage and opportunities, and the recent establishment of fast mail service has already had wonder full effect. But the exploitation up to date has not been systematic, and it will probably be the aim of the con- vention to agree upon a system that will have greater practical results than have been realized from previous eff forts.
 Invitation has been extended to Ari- zona to participate in this great gath ering and the opportunity to place this territory's vast resources properly be- fore the people of the east and north should certainly be availed of.

Inquiry among officials of dozen copper producing companies and metal selling agencies in New York City, handling approximately about 300, ,OOO, 900 pounds of copper annually, shows that the demand for copper continues enormous and that with a continuance of the present rate of consumption and but normal increase of production, as anticipated this year, especially in the United States, there is every liklihood of a still higher level of prices. The Phelps Dodge people are sold ahead on their possible production of electrolytic up to June 30, while two of the largest lake producers, handling over 45, ,00O, 900 pounds per annum are known to be out

When in the closing days of the last presidential campaign, Judge Parker, evidently with some knowledge of the life insurance contributions, charged the republican managers with holding up" or "blackmailing the corpora tions to secure money for the use in the election, his opponent denounced the charge as "wickedly false." Yet, says the New York Evening Post, "whether you call it blackmailing, pre- serving the gold standard or saving the country, the real nature of the trans action is now clear to the meanest un- derstanding. If not crime under the law, as it would appear they are not, such transactions are wrong in every aspect. They should be forbid den by law and thus made crime.

ARIZONA CATTLE GROWERS
Stockmen are Urged to Join the Asssooi-
 ation.-0oing Splendid Work.

The Arizona Cattle Growers asso- citation, by its secretary, Glenn l.. Cof- fee, has mailed to stockmen throughout the territory circular letter, of which the following is a copy, urging al who are not already members to join the organization:
 DEAR SIR:
 We are today sending out a number of circular letters to the different stockmen of the territory who are not members of the Arizona Cattle Grow. CTS association.
 The Arizona Cattle Growers associ. ation was organized and is conducted solely by the stockmen of this terri tory, for the purpose of affording pro lection to the cattle and horse industry.
 It is, undoubtedly, the intent of the administration at Washington to lease. in some manner, the public domain for grazing purposes, and very soon, as there are two bills before congress at the present time for that purpose. This association has already had a con ference with Messrs. Pinchott and Pot ter in regard to the leasing. Also. it had representative at the American National Live Stock association. for the purpose of discussing this measure. It is one that every cattle and horse raiser is interested in. If we make a mistake now it will take years to rec. tlfy 1t, and drive many, if not all, out of business. So we ask each and every one of you to join this association and see what we are doing and help us with your advice and experience.
 The stock growers organization has grown very rapidly in the past year and has accomplished great deal of good for the stockmen of this territory.
 The cattle growers have made very able and effective stand against joint statehood; also against high rate of taxes on forest reserves, and are at present making it very unpleasant for the cattle rustlers, who, in the past have been quite pest to the western stockmei.
 This organization is feeling its way into much larger concerns, that is much stronger against the success of the stockmen than any previously men, uioned.
 There are two national questions of ~reat importance which Twill take time t. mention, and each vitally concerns not only the live stock industry in gen eral but the prosperity of allothe varied industries of this country and the welfare of every citizen of this republic. One is our international trade relations, the other is the regulation of interstate railroad rates; and each of these questions is being consid, r d as speedily as possible by the American National Live Stock association, one of the strongest bodies of just workers in existence.
 There being so many things of vital importance which the stockmen must take into their hands for consideration. we encourage each and every stockman Of this territory to do his duty and be- come member of this organization.
 Very truly yours,
 GLENN l.. COFFEE, Sec'y.

Manufacturer of Vinegar, Cider aa'
 Syrup Before ComnSssiOn.

Manufacturer of Vinegar, Cider and Syrup BefOFe cemnaissiOn. Louisville, Dec. 7.--The manufacture of vinegar. cider and syrup was taken | up by the United States Commission on the purity of food. 1t being an-
 nounced by the Chairman of the Com mission, Dr. Freer. that hearings would
 be given the Sprague Warner Company of Chicago and the Scientific Brewing
 Association Of New York on the first
 two subjects up for consideration. while syrups would be treated later in the session by M. A. Taussig, of the Louisiana Sugar Exchange. The members of the Commission evince little if any disposition to 1 make concessions to the National As- sociation of Ice Cream Dealers, whose rr 1resentatives appeared yesterday to ] ask for a reduction in the standard of
 ice cream of from 14 per cent butter
 fats to per cent and to allow the uso | of eggs, wholesome vegetable gums, or
 natural favoring ingredients. Unless the Commission reconsiders
 the standard of purity regarding ice cream it Is possible that the price Of
 the dainty will advance. It is the con
 tention of the ice cream manufacturers | that the present article is far more | palatable than the ice cream manufac~
 tured according to government reguia- ] tions.
 | The greater part or the | and all of the evening, was occupied | In apparently fruitless threshing out l of the molasses question. D. J. Cottrell, \ of New Orleans. representing the Louisiana Molasses Refining Exchange, was the principal spokesman of the | moIasses manufacturers. The molas- ses manufacturers cited q recent rul-
 ing of the Treasury Department bar | ring molasses containing zinc or sul- | phites.
 1 On the whole, the standard tentative ly proposed by the commission merely 1 specifies that pure sugar cane molasses | shall not contain, more than thirty per cent water, and 2.5 per cent ash. mak- ing no mentinnsof the zinc of Sutphites. The molasses- manufacturers say they 1 use zinc and sulphste of soda. as a
 bleach and desired to know what. if
 any, per cent of these chemicals would
 be allowed, as it is possible that small quantities might remain after bleach | ing.
 They pressed hard for the imifle-
 diate settlement of the question, al-
 leging that the time for grinding this
 years crop is rapidly approaching and
 that they must either fall foul of the Treasury regulation or resort to some l expensive process for eradicating all
 trace of the chemicals named.
 The members of the commission re- | piled that investigation thus far, in-
 conclusive, and advised the molasses
 men themselves to propose standard
