d. y. Wertzberger has purchased
the interest Of his partner, Col. c. L.
Suppes, in the rig building business.
Colonel Suppes has found it necessary
to dispose OF his interest in the busi-
ness in order TO give his own affairs
mare attention. MIR. WertZberger en-
joys the reputation OF being one OF the
most active and efficient business mel
in the oil field anywhere, and will
no doubt continue to hold as large n
share Of the trade as the firm has
heretofore enjoyed. 1t would be a most
interesting item Of news were the stat
istics showing the amount of business
this firm has done printed. Ii useu
to be said tnat Emery Myers head rig
builder for the South Penn Oil com
pany, held the record with an average
OF thirty rigs a month but it is the
writer's opinion that Suppes & Wertz-
berger. have equaled this if not eX-
ceeded it; but neither of them is dis
posed to talk on the subject.

FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY

No office in the county is of great
or importance that Prosecuting Attor-
ney. He should be a lawyer of &C
knowledged ability, experience and
standing. He should be a man Of
good judgment and discretion, one
who will not take up every petty
case and prosecute it at the expense
of the people to please some individ-
ual or some official. 1t is a we'll
known fact that hundreds of people
apply TO the prosecuting attorney
each year requesting him TO prosecute
some one at the expense Of the coun-
ty. A prosecuting attorney should be
a man who can say no, when neces-
sary, and say it without giving Of
Tense. He should be man who will
carefully investigate each case, and
give it thoughtful consideration, and
prosecute only when he believes the
circumstance will justify it. He
should be careful, considerate and
honest. He should be economical
and careful in the use of the peoples

PAPER MAKING IN JAPAN.

The value of the annual produ'tioh of Jauanese machine equipped mills IS about s7.5O0. .OO0. and that of the hand mills reaches $9,OOO.0o0. In 1909 there were 27 factories with lS2 machines for the production of European pa per in operation in Japan, ana these lad a total of 64S6 employees. The quantity of European paper produced by these mills in 1909 amounted to 123.947 short tons.
 As a result of the erection at To- makomai. on Holusliu island, of a newspaper fatcory whose daily output is G5 tons. the amount of machine made paper has recently shown a re- markahIc increase. An American was engaged to supcrintend the erection and starting of the machines in this mill His success induced the com pany to engage him further in reor- ganizing the ether mills which it owns in Central Japan.

 This movement was inaugurated bv the Joint Executive Committee of the Phoenix Trades Council and local unions of Phoenix, which called a conference on December IT, 1911, elected w. C. Griffin, chairman. w. P. Greene. secretary. and passed the following resolution:
 Resolved, that it is the sense Of this body that an immediate call should be issued to the trades unions of Arizona to send delegates to state conference to be held in Phoenix. on January 20, 1912, at a. m, authorized to form a State Federation of Labor and to take such steps as may be deemed advisable to protect the m terests of labor at the session or the legislature which will convene about February 1. 1912.

Printing paper is the most import ant kind manufactured. and it's tota. annual value is S3.202 .OGG The next in importance is cardboard. with to- tai value of S6Oa.000.

 industry. Japan has been quick iu utilizing Co the utmost its assets ir bringing the manufacture of hand made paper to high modern stand ard. In the districts where this paper is made there are experiment bureaus with up-to-datc instruments and ap- paratus for testing and selecting the various kinds of raw material not crly for indigenous Japanese plants but also imported flores.
 Co-operation is the secret of the success of the hand made paper in-- dustry. In every manufacturing dis tricts there are guilds which supply the farmers with raw material and find markets for their product.
