THIS AUTUMN A DRY ONE
Less Than One Inch of Ratn has Fallen
 Here Since Sept. 27.

With less than one inch of rain- fall for period of nearly two months, this autumn will probably go on record as the dryest in the history of Conway. Wells are rap idly going dry all over the city and in many neighborhoods water is at a premium. The same condition probably exists all over the state as forest fires are reported from many sections and for several days the sun has been partially obscured by a pail of smoke.
 During the entire month of Oc- tober only .Io, or less than one fifth of an inch of rain fell in Con- way, according to the government guage in charge of Prof. G. H. Burr, and this precipitation was scattered over a period extending from September 27 to Nov. ?. On October &, o2 inch fell; October IS, .oI inch, and October B, .Io inch, making a total for the month of .Io.
 Up to this date 80 inch has fallen here during November, occurring follows: Nov. ?, .66; Nov. 10, IA.

 man from Prescott, who was ex- pected to have taken the pastorate of St Andrews at Nogales, visited the city recently and conducted ser vices in the church on one Sunday
 At meeting of the board of control of the church. held the following ev-
 ening. it was decided that the con-
 gregation should notify Mir. Ben nett within a month as to their desire for his taking the pastorate It is understood that Mr. Bennett's
 congregation in Prescott is much averse to losing him and he may determine to remain at that point | indefinitely.
 At the weekly meeting of the board of trade directors elected by the board of trade at it's annual
 meeting last week, the board of di- rectors elected all the old officers to their former positions.
 It is reported that some towns | in the territory are suffering from inability to find renters for houses. Nogales is suffering from just the
 opposite trouble, it being impos-
 sible to find accommodations. The board of trade reports that there have been nearly a hundred persons lost to the population of Nogales thls summer owing to their inability 10 secure houses.

permanent stock organizations. Many plays are owned and controlled exclu sively for the Earl Burgess company. MT. Earl Burgess himself makes his headquarters in New York City and usually directs his various enterprises from that point but visits to his com panies in all parts of the country are frequent. The company that will play Tempe is a remarkable one, and has a record of three years of continuous success in the eastern cities. The first play to be given in Tempe will be Tracked Around the World" tomorrow night. It is the latest of the big New York successes, and takes the audi ence a complete circuit of the globe.
 When the play was originally pre- sented it caused a veritable sensation. The Gipsy Girl" will be the second production, and the third will be Queen of the White Slaves" that realistic, and straight from the shoul der American drama. Novelty is the by-wOrd of the Earl Burgess company. Perhaps no company in the country uses more extraordinary advertising methods. and this organization has at tracted the attention of the entire field of western theatrical managers. The engagement will prove a treat for Tempe theater- goers, and they will be given a chance to see the latest thing in New York's successful productions. The vaudeville features with the com pany are said to be particularly en- tertaining and are right up to the min ute.
 The company arrived here yester- day from Mesa and the following members are registered at the Casa Ioma: Jimmie Mack, c. C. Miller, Walter S Percival, Jacob Hey, Fannie A. Browridge, G. V. Halliday, George Haley, Mrs. George Haley and Louis Lytton.

unerringly the returning wave of business activity and prosperity that is certain to reach the most remote corners of the United States.
 The recovery that has already taken place in the copper metal mar ket, and which is strongly reflected on the stock exchanges in the ad- vancing prices for copper shares, has had a favorable effect on senti- ment in the copper mining districts. Confidence is fast returning, a gen eral awakening of interest in min ing is observable, and a more cheer full feeling prevails in business cir cles
 These changes now in progress are apparent in the Globe district Recovery here has been steady and healthful for several months. There has been a gradual expansion ot mining and very perceptible growth of interest in Globe mines at financial centers in the east.

MEANS PROSPERITY.
Outlook Was Never Better for Own
 CTS of Copper Mines.

Probably no other industry is sub ject to such rapid changes as metal mining and manufacturing, especi- ally steel and copper. This was strikingly illustrated last year when in a few months the steel and cop per industry suffered almost col lapse, the price of copper fell from I26 cents to II cents per pound, and half the copper mines in the country were forced to suspend operations.
 Now it is to be shown that recov- cry in the copper trade after depres- sion is almost as quickly effected when revival in general business be- gins. Indeed, the steel and copper industries are recognized as true barometers of business conditions, and the rising column of the metal trades at the present time indicates

 DR. DE WORE BUYS
Again Takes Up the Business He Sold
 Year Ago.

Dr. w. c. De Wore yesterday closed a deal with pr. Burt Ogburn whereby he assumes possession of the dental parlors and equipment of the latter on the first of September. It was just a year ago that he sold the business to Dr. Ogburn. He however plans to de- vote more of his time to the mechan- ical part of dentistry rather than the surgical features of the profession and will possibly locate in Phoenix, though as yet he is rather undecided upon that point. Since being in Tenn pc he has built up a splendid practice and made many friends.
 Dr. De Wore will be right at home in the dental profession again, having practiced here for a number of years with excellent results. For the pres ent he will retain the same offices Dr. Ogburn is now occupying. The doctor proposes to build in Tempe sometime during the winter and until then will rent home.
