CANNING FACTORY WANT

Citizens of Mesa, Arizona, have
organized the Salt River Valley Can
ming Company which will be incor.
porated at once, as all the necessary
stock has been subscribed. 1t is
proposed to have the plant in opera
ton during this season in ample time
to handle the fruit and vegetables
produced in that portion of the val
lev.
The citizens of Stafford could well
follow the. example of the people of
Mesa and organize a canning com
pany and there can be no doubt but
that success would crown their eff
forts in establishing this industry.
The farmers of the Gila valley
can raise as fine vegetables as can
be grown in the Salt River valley or
any other part of Arizona, and as to
fruit. no better fruit can be grown
anywhere in the State as we can
grow here.
Hundreds of cases of canned vege-
tables and fruits are shipped into
Stafford and the other towns of the
valley every year for home consump
ton. If our farmers raised more
vegetables and fruit, the surplus
could be sent to the canning factory
and the demand for canned vege
tables ard fruit could be met right
here at home, besides what could be
shipped to the surrounding mining
camps.
A cooperative canning factory
would help wonderfully in taking
care of surplus vegetables and fruit
and bring financial. returns that
would encourage the industry. The
finest kind of tomatoes, string beans,
corn. lima beans and peas can be
grown in this valley and good crops
can be secured. Grapes, apricots.
peaches, pIums and cherries are
raised in abundance and all fine
fruit.
Looks like the Gila valley should
lead the State in canned vegetables
and fruit and the people should wake
up to this opportunity.

THE RISING SUN IN CHINA

European nations have been estab-
lishing spheres of influence" in
China for the purpose of excluding
from the affected territory as much
of other nations trade as possible
In the German sphere German goods
predominated; in the English sphere
English capital built and operated
the railroads, exploited other traders.
Since Manchuria became a japanese
sphere of influence, American mills
have seen their trade in cotton goods
in the province shrink from the lion S
portion of twenty-four million dol
lars annually to less than three
million dollars a year; steadily,
inexorably American exports to
Chinese territory under the control
Japan have been diminishing, and
other nations have had similar ex-
periences.
But Japan, having no more moral
right to a foot of Chinese territory
than any other country, has taken
unto her bosom more loot than any
of the others, Russia excepted.
Japan is not proclaiming an Asiatic
Monroe Doctrine for the benefit of
Asia, neither did the United States
erect a wall around the Americas
for the sole benefit of its neighbors.
In both cases self-interest was the
dominant motive. The United States
had no intention to allow a strong
European nation to obtain perma-
nent foothold in the Americas, and
it based its opposition upon its owu
political interests. Japan proceeds
from exactly the same base, but
Japan's necessities compel the Mika-
dos government to go one step
further.
The United States, being the rich.
est nation in the world and possess.
ing at home the greatest market for
commodities of all kinds in all the
world, had neither need nor incen-
tive to exploit its neighbors. 1t had
abundance of room, raw material
and purchasing power within its own
borders. Japan, on the other hand,
has none of these things. Japan
needs China for iron ore, coal and
other raw materials, and Japan needs
China as an outlet for the goods
manufactured from Chinese raw
materials. Therefore, Japan at the
propitious moment takes that which
she needs. If China and the Western
powers are hurt by the process.
Japan can point to her necessities
and the fate of Belgium.
Both the United States and China
are equally helpless in the face of
japanese procedure. The best either
can do is to protest, even though the
Chinese in America we're early in
April beginning to collect money for
a war fund From May Sunset.

MUST REBUILD DAM
People of St. Johns Will Need
Capital to Restore Lyman
Reservoir and Dam

ST. JOHNS, ARIZONA, May Tit
is now two weeks since the breaking
of the Lyman reservoir. The fnan.
cial losses have been pretty accur-
ately computed; the people are busy
repairing the lower bitches and
cams; riddled fences are being re
constructed; preparations to put in
as much crop as possible are in pro-
gress; plans are being formulated
to put water into the higher Ly-
man canal for irrigation of the
bench land; six of the eight bodies
of the drowned have been recovered
and buried, so that the town is
somewhat normal again.
The direct losses total up about
as follows:
Graham guardian., 1915-05-07

We acknowledge receipt of copy
of the Arizona Blue Book for 1915,
which we received from Secretary
of State Osborn. The Blue Book
contains a list of all State, federal
and county officials for Arizona; also
population and taxable valuation of
counties, list of commercial organi-
cations and newspapers.
Graham guardian., 1915-05-07

The indirect loss depends on so
many contingencies. that it is hard
to estimate, but this seems fair,
though low, estimate:
Crop loss at st. Johns $50, 900. 90
Crop loss at Meadows 100000
Crop loss at Hun n-t----- l2,0OO.O0
Crop loss at Woodruff Tor eX-
ira cost if pumping is re-
sorted to--------.--------. lO,uOU.O0
1t is safe to say that other in
direct losses will make the total up
to full hundred thousand. though
in the event that the Lyman dam
were never again built it would
reach over half a million.
But the agricuiturists of this
town are well acquainted with ad-
versity, for they have had their
measure heaped up and running
over" The first farms the settlers
developed along the river valley went
to alkali and salt grass and almost
stopped farming here. They built
the Salado reservoir in their days of
poverty to bring their better drained
bench lands under cultivation, but
ten years ago it went out. They
extended their energies to the lands
of Hunt and built the Udall dam,
but it has been washed away three
times. They tried farming at the
Meadows and have lost two dams
there, so that already these hardy
toilers have lost agricultural prop
erty worth half a million dollars.
A good force is now at work on
the town ditch and old field ditch,
which belongs to the St. Johns lrri-
CATION Company, so that water will
soon be on the old fields and in
town. 1t is a puzzler to know what
to do to put water in the Lyman
canal and on the bench, for the canal
intake is the reservoir gate that
stands twenty feet above the river.
Pumping and building a high diver,
sion dam are both proposed. The
chances are in favor of constructing
a high, tight, earth diversion dam
The fields of Hunt, the Meadows
and St. Johns are all so wet and
muddy that little can be done as
vet, but as soon as they are dry
enough, crops will be planted, as
the natural flow of the river, with
last winters heavy snow fall, will
supply adequate water for this year.
Many offers of relief, have been
received. We need relief, but it is
not immediate relief, for we have
food in plenty and are able to tenn
porariIy care for those of our mum
ber who lost their homes. But, at
the same time, many of our Spanish
Americans, whose homes were de-

United States Prevented From
Acting in Zealandia Case
Because of Conflict
ing Stories. :
ASKS NO CONVOY FOR
SHIPS FROM BRITISH
Belief is That Uncle Sam In
tends to Conduct Its Own
Affairs at Sea in
the Future.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-State de-
partment officials today indicated that
this government will not raise an Is
sue over the searching of the Amer
lean steamer Zealahdia, off Progreso,
Mexico, by a British warship. 1t was
declared that contradictory statements
by the warship crew and the captain
of the steamship as TO whether the
Zealandia at the time of the search
was outside of the three-mile limit of
Mexican waters prevents the state de-
partment from making protest.
The matter has not been dropped.
Consul John Germon, at ProgresO, has
been instructed TO get all the facts
concerning the matter he can Of
ficials were inclined to the belief,
however, that the United States will
not be able to definitely establish
where the search took place. The
battleship Kentucky has been ordered
from Vera Cruz TO PrOgreso but Of
ficials declared it had nothing to do
with the Zealandia case.
State department officials today
made no effort TO conceal the fact that
the United States faces a serious con
troVersy with Great Britain on ac-
count of continued British interference
with American commerce with neu-
trails.
The patience of officials has been
exhausted on account of the failure or
the British admiralty to cease detain-
ing American ships despite representa-
tons and counter representations
alike through the British embassy
here and Ambassador Page in London.
Convoy il Suggested.
State department officials today
looked with favor upon plan 10 or
gani-e a syndicate to charter Amer
lean vessels for Rotterdam TO bring
out the millions of dollars worth of
goods at that bort consigned to Amer
lean importers. There was a dispo-
sition in some quarters to furnish
a naval convoy for these vessels by
Great Britain that the time for fur
Their meddling has passed.
The announcement from the state
department that the United States
Will decline to ask safe conduct from
Great Britain for American vessels
plying between neutral ports is taken
in shipping circles as a firm indica-
ton that the United States will here
after direct its own affairs at sea-
This latest determination became
known in connection with the case of
the Winnebago of the American trans
Atlantic Co.
The owners of the vessel had filed
with the state department affidavit
that all of the stock in the vessel was
American and asked that safe
conduct be procured from Great Brit
ain for the passage of the ship from
Buenos Ayres to New York. But Of
hcials declared that if the vessel is
American-Owne no permission will be
sought from any other nation for her
to use the seas. This was interpreted
as meaning but one thing-that naval
convoy will be given American ships
if necessary.

Snow and Cold Weather Keeps Many
Regulars Away,

Fewer wagons were on the market
Tuesday morning than at any time
since early last spring. Only five pro-
ducers appeared with their goods and
the number Of consumers was just
about in proportion. The cold weather
and snow is the cause of the drop in
the number Of dealers.
One dealer had eggs for sale at SO
cents a dozen. They were strictly
fresh and the price was four cents
less than it was last Saturday. This
is not considered to be a definite
