directly abroad to joint Mrs. Irwin
and Miss Helene. They are all travel
ing on the Continent now and Mr..
Irwin will certainly come back in
October and probably the rest of the
family will accompany him. This
would be indeed welcome state of
affairs, as Mrs. Irwin is one of those
who will be greatly missed should she
not return, and Miss Helene would be
one OF the most popular debutantes OF
the season.

Disturbance in Russia
Affects Trade.

|" HE British Consul General at
| Odessa in recent report gave
some idea of the dislocation of
business in Russia caused by the
political and other disturbances there
during the past year.
The export of grain, the most i'm
portant of the commercial interest in
that district, shrank considerably,
partially through poor crops and
partially through the lack of trans
port services. There was also great
falling off in the shipments of sugar,
much of this being due to the closing
OF the markets of Western Europe
against Russian sugar by the action
of the Brussels convention. The
numerous strikes interfered to an
alarming extent with industrial de-
velopment, and ordinary commercial
operations were considerably inn
peded by the consequent restriction
OF financial and other credit facilities.
In every class of society has the
stress been felt. The crops this year
promise to be very abundant and
should the outlook in other respects
improve the district may recover
much of its prosperity before the end
of the season. But the Consul is by
no means overoptimistic. During
1906" he remarks, business will
probably be very anxious. The haf-
vest is likely to surpass anything ye!
known. The demand for. machinery
may be correspondingly clamorous
But want of money and of credit, or
perhaps l should say rather, the cir
cumstances which have brought about
these wants, make business unusually
risky. 1t is probable that the best
harvest will be that reaped by the
money lender"

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
William z Cooper the Candidate for Delegate to Congress A Sketch
 Of tits cereer

William Fenimore Cooper. repuh- lican candidate for delegate to con- gress, IS one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of Arizona. A residence of the terri tory since 1891, having lived in five of the thirteen counties, and having always taken an active interest in both local and territorial affairs wherever he has lived, no man can lay claim to better knowledge of prevailing conditions. No one who knows him can question his integ- rity, his industry, his perspicacity, his alertness, his congenial person. ality, or any of those necessary at tributes which comprise ones tit- ness as a campaigner or his ability to discharge the duties of the high office to which he aspires.
 In respect of that question which is of vital interest to Arizona, the nefarious project of jointure with New Mexico, Mir. Cooper's opposi- tion has been both determined and consistent. He is with his party and with the great majority of the people on that issue. As the de- fender of Arizona's rights and the champion of her interests he will not be found wanting, either in the nome councils or in the national forum.
 During the campaign that is to follow, much will be heard of Bill" Cooper, but opposition to him will of necessity be confined to a discussion of issues for he stands on clean record. Much is already known of MT. Cooper, in general way, but in the light of events that will make him prominent from this time forward, sketch of his career, somewhat biographical, will be both timely and interesting.
 MT. Cooper was born in Dublin, Wayne county. Indiana, August 6, 1858, living in that vicinity until he was fifteen years old. He grad uated from the high school in Rich mond in 1873, attended Otterbein university for year, then entered the military academy at Peekskill, N. Y., from which he graduated in 1877 at the head of his class. For year thereafter he studied law in Richmond. lnd., with William Peele, a former lieutenant governor of that state, then came west on the advice of physicians, by reason of impaired health. He spent year or so in Colorado. returned to his home in Indiana, and in 1880, still being in poor health, he went to California. Here, with plenty of out door life on the range and brief residences in various coast cities his health was fully restored. After another visit to the old home he re- turned to California and engaged m newspaper work until 1891. when he came to Arizona.
 His Arizona record began in Mohave county, where he was en- gagged for time in newspaper work, then in Phoenix. where he was similary occupied for short time, going from Phoenix to Florence, Pinal county, where he bought the Florence Tribune. During h S newspaper work he had continued his study of law and in 1894 he was admitted to the bar in Florence. Since then he has been admitted to practice in the larger courts of both Arizona and California. Sell ing the Tribune he moved to Tucson. where he was engaged first in news paper work. then as court stenog- rapher and attorney, until 1898, when he was elected district at-
