Organized By J. p. Morgan Company
 Never Has Paid Dividends
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

NEW YORK, April 3.-The Inter- national Mercantile Marine company a giant steamship combination. or sanized in 1902 by the J. P. Morgan company, which placed under ore control some of the principal Eng fish, American and Belgian steam ship lines plying between the United States and Europe, went into the hands of a federal receiver today. For six months the company has been unable to pay the interest on it's $52.l44,OOO 412 per cent collateral trust bonds
 While the International Mercantile Marine since it's organization, has been unable to pay dividends, it was said that with the outbreak of the verely diminished. precipitating the present crisis. Many of it's ships are now in war service
 Although the receivership affects the International Mercantile Marine as the holding company for all the subsidiary organizations it controls. it will not affect the English sub sidiaries, it is stated, such as the White Star, Leyland, Dominion ard Atlantic transport lines. This is be- cause the stocks of the latter com panies were not pledged as collateral for the defaulted mortgage, it is ex- plained.

|. |. ID AID
 THE GROWERS
Farm and Rural Affairs Committee Named to Do Special Work in Aid of United Produce Growers Association

In special session yesterday morn ing, the directors of the chamber of commerce voted to give it's farm and rural affairs committee jurisdiction over the relations between it and the United Produce Growers association, which had solicited and received en- dorsement from the boost emporium. able time to investigating the needs of the association and rendering all pos sble aid. z VI
 Three things are to be accomplished by means of the association. First, to promote the shipment of produce from the valley to outside consumers. thus bringing the grower into closer touch with the buyer, Second to establish a market place within the city for the double purpose of distributing fresh vegetables, ett. to the people at a sav- ing of middlemen's profits and prepar- ing carload shipments. Third. to keep the growers advised as to crops that are sure to be in demand. so as to make more valuable every effort of the ranchers
 In order to accomplish the latter re- suit, the association will have to main tain highly trained intelligence de- partment, to investigate markets, in order to locate them and to find out what they want. It is likely that a representative will be sent east where there are big openings for the golden fruits of Salt River Valley lands. It is understood that the association is seek ing location for city market, where the farmers may find a clearing house for both their locally intended crops and those that are destined to be ship ped outside the city, valley and state.
 Arizona cities. especially the mining, sheep, lumber and cattle campe, where nothing is raised, and all provisions are shipped in, will prove very val uable field for Salt River Valley crops. The basic intent of the organization is to make Arizona crops supply Arizona stomachs and to keep money usually spent for produce within the borders of the state.

Tonto Basin Promises
 To Become Another
CoaliDga Oil Field

The Miami oil and Development company, having complied with all the requirements of the law. will the Tonto Basin Oil Fields.
 The company is composed princi pally of the business men of Phoe- nix, and other cities of Arizona who have preceived from the first that a discovery of oil in the Roose- welt district means a much needed impetus to every line of business in the state; in fact millions of capital will at once be invested here and Arizona will pulsate with prosperity
 The Tono Basin oil Fields have been compared very favOrably to the Coalinga fields of California: and but a short time will lapse now. in their opinion, when the history of California's great oil field will be repeated
 On the goth of January. the Tonto Basin Oil company now operating near Roosevelt, reported a discov- cry of both oil and gas; this fact proves that the vicinity of their well there is a deposit of oil.
 The Miami Oil and Development company has acquired what is look ed upon as the cream of the oil bearing land at Roosevelt, and ow- ing to the discovery of the company now operating there, this proposition carries with it much merit. Oil in the Tonto Basin means new cities, new railroads, new industries and prosperity, especially for Phoe- nix.
 The operations of the Miami oil and Development company will be watched with much interest by al. those interested in the welfare of the state.
 The company is practically financ- ed and but small portion of the capital stock will be offered to the public at 12Hc per share. A small investment in this com pany may make you independent. l All communications should be ad- dressed to the Miami Oil and De- | velopment Company, 1SS North First l Avenue, Phoenix, Arizon gb a. |
