u. S. Officials Disturbed
by U-Boat Situation

The reported visit of Baron Burian,
the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister,
to Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg,
at Berlin, for a full discussion of sub
| marine warfare and it's effect on the
United States aroused interest here
GoVAgnment officials do not conceal
their ~diSquiet over the present sub
marine situation. and some of them
fear that the Teutonc powers may at
any moment launch a campaign against
England which might involve the Unit
ed States
Secretary Lansing. however, has au-
thorlZed the statement that as vet
there is absolutely no truth in the re-
ports that the department has infor-
nation that definite decision has been
reached to launch ruthless Germa n
submarine campaign
Five serious cases now are pending,
the sinking of the British steamer
Marina without warning and with the
lost OF six American lives; the sinking
parently by a torpedo and without
warning; the alleged Smelling Of the
boats Of survivors of the British steam
et Bowanmore, which had fed, and
the sinking of the American steamers
Lanao and Columbian for CARRYING CON
ira band.
Investigation is being made in all
cases, but has not yet been completed.
Report Not Credited.
Teutonic diplomats here do not credit
the report that Germany has been
warned verbally that President Will
sons patience is ION the verge of ex-
haustion." One of these who declined
to permit the use of his name, said:
Il know positively that no such
warning has been given. There is no
reason for any such warning. Germany
has absolutely no intention of violat-
ing any of the pledges given the Unit
ed States
The Teutonic diplomats are unable to
see how a rupture of relations could
occur over the present submarine cam
paign, which. they say, is being con-
Quoted in accordance with all the rules
of cruiser warfare. They point to Ger
many'S recent assurance to the Ameri-
can embassy at Berlin that no change
III policy was contemplated.

states undertaken to determine the
reason for the high cost of living and,
incidentally, to complete arrangements
Cor I; farmers congress 10 he held here
in February.
Mr.. Hartigan's Investigations con-

CONTRIBUTION Of $1,000
AIDS OLD LIFE SAVERS
For Twentieth Time Money Is Re-
ceived by Coast Guard Service.
Given by Two Sisters.

The usual Christmas contribution of
1000 for the benefit of needy members
of that part of the coast guard which
was formerly the ife-saving service,
widows and orphans of deceased life
savers was received today in the mail
by Sumner I. kimball, former super
inteudent of the life-saving service and
now president of the board of life
saving appliances of the coast guard.
This makes the twentieth contribu-
ton of $1,000, over as many years,
from the same source. Two sisters. one
spinster and the other a widow, have
been sending in this amount every year
Their names have been carefully
guarded from publicity.
This year the widow records the
death of her spinster sister last Janu-
airy. She takes up the half of the con-
tribution formerly made by her sister,
and sends in the usual $1,000 in mem
Dry of her dead sister The home OF
the sisters was in New York city,
where the widow is still domicilcd.

Action Declared "U1patriotic."

81 do not charge the farmers with
being out and out dishonest" declared
Mr.. Hartigan, but the least that can
he said of them is that their action was
unpatriotic. They are doing the same
thing in many parts of the country in
regard to potatoes, caDpases ana
onions l have not the slightest doubt
that if these reserve supplies We're re-
leased we would hear considerably Tess
about crop shortages, and the cost OF
these farm products would be reduced
to the retail purchaser at least 70 per
cent from the prices now prevailing.
Commissioner Hartigan said that the
cost of food in New York city is 90 per
cent more than it ought to be. despite the
fact that it is 90 per cent lowe: IMAM IL Is
for this, he explained, is that the city is
able to buy cheaper because so large
supply of food is sent here.

NEARLY S15,OOO IN PRIZES

A matter of $15, 900 will be spent by Prescott in carrying out the program of the annual Frontier Days celebration, July 4-5-6-7. This big sum will be hung up for the championship broncho riding and steer roping contests. Many from California, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado have already signed up for the two main events.
 The real interest in the con- tests is centered in the worlds championship broncho riding contest. The prize is the d:a- mond-studded Worlds champion ship gold medal which possesses lure all it's own. The winner of this prize must contest for it and his championship title at any place in the world where as high a purse is offered and the same rules govern. The holder of the title and medal must con- test for the same at Prescott in 1917, provided no other organiza- tion makes bid for the champ ionship.

Interesting Views Of A
 Prominent Williams Man

A prominent Williams man en- tertained the News reporter one day last week with his views on the occupation of vacant govern ment land. Why not put home steaders on th1s land, the Williams man said, giving to each an acre. age sufficient to support him? That acreage might be 1000 acres. or 10000 or even more. Let it be enough to enable him to support his family on it.
 With a ranch of the size indicat- ed, cattle or sheep might be sup ported in sufficient quantity to make living income.
 The government would defend the homesteader in possession and thereby avoid the often sanguinary struggles which have been caused by the desire to possess the range.
 Should the prospective rancher prefer to rent and not homestead let tim do so, paying little more than a nominal rental. The sum received by the government would be considerable in the aggregate. Should he want to leave his home- stead, the government could buy his Improvements and, sell them to his successor.
 A survey for determing the re- sources of the land should be made and the land parceled in a way to equalize the grazing or agricultural value of the tracts.
 The theory of the prominent citizen is that it would be much better for many small ranchers to occupy the land than to have it occupied, as much of it is, by men who have very large tracts.

NEW SOURCE FOR WOOD PULP

According to a report of the U. s. Forest Service the spruce for. ests which have furnished mater- ial for wood pulp are fast becom- ing depleted and new sources of supply must be found or the price of wood pulp will put paper out of the reach of consumption.
 Fortunately, tests recently made prove that other woods may be successfully used in the production of wood pulp. Eleven new woods give promise of being suitable for the production of news print paper, while a number of others will pro- duce manila paper and boxboards. Most of these woods are confined to the west, while the groundwood industry now obtains the bulk of it's raw material from the East.
 It is held by experts that be- cause the National Forests contain immense quantities of woods suit able for pulp-making and an abundance of cheap power may be obtained from the development of water power, extensive pulp pro- duction will be a feature of west ern industrial development.

WOMAN'S PARTY
 WITH ONE PURPOSE

The women who are organizing the Woman's party wish it understood that their purpose in organizing is not to 'segregate women politically nor is there any expectation of uniting 4, 900, 900 women voters"
 The women voters are organ izing for one purpose, only, to secure the passage of the nation al suffrage amendment.
 Women voters are in position to give help to any party in sym pathy with their aims and to de- feat that party which persistent ly opposes national woman suff- rage. Twelve states in which women vote are doubtful. In the last five presidential elections not one of these states has gone steadily for any one party. In any one of them a change of g per cent in the vote cast for president would have changed the result. l
 The Woman's Party in assem- bling in Chicago this week hope to influence the republican party to adopt a suffrao e resolution favoring an amendment to the constitution enfranchising wom- en. The Woman's Party will meet in St. Louis for the purpose of influencing the democratic convention to take similar action.
 The Woman's party is neither pro nor anti republicans or demo- cratic. It is simply pro suffrage and it will work in the way which seems most practical for accomplishing it's end.

THREE CONVENTIONS IN
 GHIGAGO AT ONCE

This is bound to be. a historic week in Chicago. Three impor- tant conventions, each closely related, Tn way, to the other two, will deliberate and resolve and adjourn. All three of the conventions, the republican, the progressive and the woman's, will be very much interested in the proceedings in the republi- can convention. The progress ives hope for the nomination of a progressive by the republicans on a progressive platform. The women hope for the adoption of a resolution committing the republican party to a suffrage amendment to the constitution.
 Failing to get what they want from the republicans, the pro- gressives will, probably, make a nomination of their own. Get ting or failing to get what they want from the republicans, the women will adjonrn to meet in St. Louis at the time of the democratic convention when they will urge their suffrage resolution upon that convention.

After going to the expense of having hi3 fish graded and resalted the best offer he could get after visiting sev- eral dealers was s12 per barrel from a broker who wanted five per cen; commission. When 1t came to closing the deal the broker wanted Anderson to wait for returns until the fish had been stopped and also said that he could not afford to handel the fish unless he received an additional $500 bonus. After figuring up the original cost of barrels and salt at Seward, the cost of wharfage at both ends, freight, re- packing, resulting per cent commis sion and a bonus, Anderson has de- cided that packing salmon is a luxury only to be enjoyed by the financially Independent. The demand of the com mission man for a bonus Is the Seattle method of putting small dealers out of the market.

the production of gold and silver In tho United States, made jointly by the United States geological survey and the bureau of the mint, are not yet complete, but early figures based on reports from the mines indicate an increase in mine production over that of 1914 of over s7,O00.0OO in gold principally from Colorado. California Alaska. Montana, and Idaho and an Increase In mine production of silvei of fully 100000 ounces, chiefly from Montana, Utah and Arizona.

 Quicksilver also has had it's besl year ia 1915. The quantity increased 9 per cent over 1914, but the value of theedtput more than doubled owing to the much higher prices.

One of the most spectacular ad- vances In commodity prices occasioned by the war has been in tungsten, both metal and ore. This has been due to the extraordinary demand for tungsten steel--an essential constituent in mak- ing high speed tool steel. The manu- facture of immense quantities of mill tary material has required greatly in creased quantities of tool steel and consequently corresponding quantities of tungsten; hence the advance in price for 1t.
 Before the war high speed tool steel was worth about 75 cent per pound,

 Copper Beats All. Records.
 The copper mines passed all records for previous years, the 1915 output having a value of s236 900 900, or 83, 000,000 more than the value of the production for 1914. The statistics and estimates received place the out put of blister and lake copper at 1,365,500,000 pounds or more than 120, 000,000 pounds in excess of the largest previous production and eighteen per cent above last years figures. Only twice in tho history of copper mining has there been a larger increase in q entity of metal produced.

PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR
 MINES OF THE l. 5.

The midyear review of mining con ditions reported to the secretary of the interior on July by the d,sector of the United States geological survey is well supported by the preliminary reports for the year. The geological survey Is making public It's usual esti- mate of mining production for 1915 in tre form of a separate statement for each of the more important mineral rr,dncts.
 A review of these statements con firms Secretary Lanes comment of last July to the effect that the mining revival Is In full swing. In the west ern states alone the metal production shows an increase in value of more
 n $130,000,000 over the correspond ing figure for 1914, and the years increase in output for the principal metals measured in value Is more than s250, 100000. Moreover 1t is not un- reasonable to expect that when the full returns for all mineral products are compiled they will show that 1915 was the countrys most productive year In the mining industry. The total may even reach two and one half million dollars.
