What has been done with Chill

years ago with Peruvian D
Peru. which made the fortune OF
the Spanish crown with its gold
and silver. now bids fair TO make
the fortune OF American trade
with its copper. James b. Hag-

sales TO Peru are steadily grow

Chile and more rapidly than we
could possibly nave expected had
we depended only on the quality
of the goods offered.
In Bolivia. American capital is
developing the tin mines and the
gold mines; but our investments
are not so large in proportion TO
those OF other countries. and our
trade with Bolivia by no neans
has grown SO fast as II has with
Chile. The plan for railroad con-
struction laid down by the Boil

be marketed in he ordinary bank

lates outgoing trade in directions

all over the United States.
We have now through the ex-
tension OF our banking facilities. a
very much more advantageous po-

FLAGSTAFF MAN HAS
DEVELOP SCHEME
FOR ALL OF ARIZONA

ESPECIAL CONSEQUENCES 10 MORNING JOURNAL
Flagstaff, AriZ.. April 6-What
promises to become one of the gr,pt-
est movements for the Development Of
Arizona has been launched by Fred
erick Price Comfort. an eastern man
who has sojourned for some time in
Arizona, now a resident of Flagstaff
The plan Is to bring a committee
of representative eastern men, bank
ers. investors, manufacturers. score
tares of commercial organizations
and others to Arizona and take them
on tour of inspection OF the whole
state
For some time il has been felt that
eastern people have been a little ow
in casting loose from old associations
to come to a new unknown state to
make their homes, and have been
even slower IN putting theii~money IN
southwestern enterprises.
This can probably be explained by
the fact that in this section of the
country land values and resources in
the raw as found In nature are so
different from those of other sections
that their value Is not al once rec0c-
n2ed. The climate also Is not under
stood. Again wild eating ana eX-
ploitation have been too general in
the past
IT is Mr. Comforts idea that il sub
stantial men can he brought from fl
nancial and trade centers and taken
on a trip spending two or three days
in each and every community to ac-
tually see conditions fer themselves
inviting criticism as well as common
dation, that they will go back home
and do q great deal toward diesipat
ing erroneous impressions. incident
ally paving the way for intensive de-
of the southwest.
Mr.. Comfort has been working on
the proposition for something over
three years, and has now the cnthus- !
iastie support Of Governor Hunt and I
the most of the larger commercial or !
ganizations of the state.
II Is expected that the details of the
enterprise will be worked out by the ,
state hoard Of trade.

Il scheme along the same lines with |
very beneficial results.
