Fort Whipple

The movement started to aban- don WhipLle barracks, near Pres colt, is being vigorously fought by the people all over Arizona, and the matter has been taken up by United States Senator Mark Smith, who will use every effort in his power to prevent the closing of this army post. Smith said:
 "I know it is a mistake on the part of the war department to abandon Fort Whipple. It is an ideal spot for military post, con- ditions there could not possibly be better and 1 will do everything in my power to prevent the move that apparently is contemplated.
 T will today write letters to a number of senators with whom l am acquainted, asking that they file protests with the war depart ment against the abandonment oi Whipple. This should result in a delay until the Arizona representa- tives in the senate and the house are on the ground to fight the bat tie in person." he added.

Printing in the United States

Of these 2,602 are dailies (exclusive of Sunday, with an aggregate circulation of 24,217.- 127, and 15,097 are weeklies, with an aggregate circulation of 40, 1922, ; 965. With all due respect to the census bureau if it has really es tablished these facts it has done something no other agency has eyer been able to accomplish.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
 IN THE LIMELIGHT

The interstate commerce com- mission has begun in Washington the hearing of testimony in the in- quiry which it has underta ken into the rates, rules and regulations of the express companies.
 It is predicted that, as a result of the investigation, the commits sion will order a reduction of ex- press rates throughout the country. The commissions experts have completed report on the subject and the express companies will he asked to explain the figures gath
 cred, particularly the large revenue
 on a comparatively small invest ment.
 The report states that "the in-
 come account of the express com panies shows an unusual amount ] of income resulting from invest ments," and it is understood that the commission will expect the
 companies to go into details con ] cernipg these investments, as 1t also is stated that the proportion of the income from investments de rived from securities suggests the generally recognized fact that ex-
 press companies are large investors and to some extent spectators in securities"
 The graduate and double grad
 uate system of express companies
 has received the particular atten- tion of the commission and it is in- timated that under these systems
 the public is charged in some in
 stances double rates. the double
 system prevailing where two conn
 panies participate in the handling
 of express matter.

Heaven help the man who imag- ines he can dodge enemies by try ing to please everybody If such an individual ever succeeds pass him over this way that we may have one look at his mortal re- mains ere he vanishes away, for surelythis earth cannot be his abid- ing place. Now we do not infer that one should be going through this world trying to find beams to knock and thump his head against, disputing every mans opinion, fighting and elbowing and crowd- ing all who differ from him. That. again. is another extreme. Other people have their opinions, so have you. Don't fall into the error of supposing they will respect you more for turning your coat every day, to match the color of theirs.

New York. January 5.--Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 At the advent of the new year the rndertone of trade seems of an encour- aging character. At the moment retai lines present the most active branches of distributive trade, while in industria pursuits iron and steel and textlit mills have enlarged their worklnt forces Of course, the returns are no uniform in all instances, quiet trade being especially marked at the soutf some cities elsewhere also indicate that the severe weather, instead or de veloping business has actually retarded it. In the larger lines, wholesale ant iobbing for example. trade is marked by the customary seasonal slowness and while some statesmen are again or the road, it is too early to expect mucf in the way of new orders.
 What few buyers have come to the dry goods markets speak hopefully but the concensus seems to indicate that country merchants will be chars about placing orders in quantity fol some time. conservatively cheerfu sentiment prevails in the iron and stee trades, but at the moment new busi- ness is light, following the heavy bar gain buying witnessed in December and at the same time some lines are not vet tree rom cOflipetltioHs <fs matters stand, the saner tendency IS to guard against over estimating the improvement and to regard the large orders already booked as a basis for future betterment Collections are not better than fair. being especially slow in the south, but more favorable turn taken by the lumber trade in the far west is expected to improve pay ments in that quarter. where settle- ments have been slow

1872 OPENS WITH BRIGHT PROSPECTS Pronounced Increase in Bus
 mess Confidence IRON PLANTS RESUME Increased Operations and Larger Working Forces Feature Opening
 of the Year in Both Iron
 and Steel
IRON PLANTS RESUME

New York, January 5.-R. G. Dun and company's weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 The year opened with pronounced in crease in business confidence based upon the improvement during the past three months, especially in iron and steel, cop per and dry goods; and there is grow ing belief that the new year will prove better as to the volume of business trans actions than 1911, though this optimism is tempered by much eonservatism and there is no disposition to expand unduly
 The increased operations and larger working forces feature the opening of the year in iron and steel. Some plants that were closed entirely or only part time arc resuming activity again, and the leading interest is now running at about & per cent of capacity. Blast furnaces capacity has increased at Pittsburg, the local car plants are more active and finished lines show further improvement, with several additional orders for line pipe and struc- tural material. Prices are firmer.
 For the first half basic iron is quoted at SIP 45 and Bessemer $1i25, and $1450 val ley. Crude steel material has advanced 5o cents to $1 per ton forging bilets being especially firm at $26 Pittsburg, While With a better demand $l.25 is the minimum for bar iron and s1.15 for steel bars, Pittsburg.
 Jobbers of dry goods are opening their floor showings of wash fabrics for spring and are sending their men on the road seeking additional business on spring silks and regular lines. A reduction on printed shrtings of M cents yard was an nounced in the primary markets, but there is a firiner tendency in drills, sheetings and heavy colored goods. Export trade in cotton goods with miscellaneous ports opens auspiciously but the China markets are closed.
 There has been a further resumption or operations in cotton mills. While trade lh woolens is rather quiet as usual at this period. some of the larger agencies Tor overeoatings have been booking very satisfactory business and leading mann- lecturers of chinchil have already sold their production for the fall season while others are getting ready to provide for the increasing demand for these lines.
 Leather is quiet but generally flrin. Hides show some improvement There is a fair amount of business on the books of the New England shoe factories.
