THE COPPER SITUATION

Spot copper is reported to have sold
at 36 cents pound during the week, the
highest price on record. Copper for de-
livery before next July is almost unob-
tainable, sales for the first quarter, 1917
delivery, having been made at "a cents
pound, compared with an average
price of 25112 cents for the first quarter
Of this year, and 1414 cents in the cor
responding period last year. For the
first time in the history of the copper
trade, business is reported to be booked
year ahead
The optimism which pervades the
copper industry can well be imagined
from the statement of the head of one
of the largest producing companies in
this country. He says that copper will
not sell below 81 cents pound in 1917.
Another authority estimates that the
metal will not sell below % cents in
1913, 20 cents in 1919, IL cents in 1920,
and Is cents in 1921. This makes an
average estimate of 20 cents pound
for the five-year period, and this man
made due allowance for the ending of
the war meantime.
The facts and figures justify the in
ference that nearly the whole Of the
1917 copper output will be under con-
tract within the first 60 days of the new
year. Many producers and sellers are
curtailing their bookings in 1917 metal
and are making but few contracts for
deliveries after July, as result of
which premiums are being offered for
nearby metal, so urgent are the require
ments of many purchasers.
The advent of new copper companies
into the field has become practically a
necessity, for every pound Of metal they
can produce is needed and will find a
ready market at highly profitable fig
ures. On this basis the doubtful cop
per issues appear as unique speculative
opportunities offering remarkable pos
sibilities for profit.

HEAVY LOADS
SOLVE PROBLEM

BY insisting on heavier loading and
prompter loading and unloading of
freight cars the Southern Pacific has
succeeded in reducing the hardships
Of car shortages.
During the month of October, ac-
cording to report of c. J. McDon-
aid, assistant superintendent of trans
portation. the company saved the use
of 1878 cars by the one expedient OF
asking for the heavier loading of cars
In other words to move the same
quantity of the eighteen varieties of
merchandise carried during October
1916, would have required 1878 more
cars if laden with the lighter loads
of October, 1915.
AS more cars were not available
than were moved, the company would
have faced a shortage of 1918 cars
more than it does, were it not for
the heavier loading.
Barley was carried with a heavier
load Of 3.4 tons per car; beets with
four tons more per car; cement with
nearly three tons more per car,
corn and oats with 6.5 more tons
per car; general merchandise of alt
sorts with IL more tons per cal.
Among the actual car savings were:
Barley 118 cars. beets 1853 cars, CO.
ment 112 cars. lumber 1853 cars, corn
and oats 1853 cars, general merchan-
disc 2535 cars, mill stuff ITO cars,
fruit, vegetables and other perish
ables 375 cars. stone and gravel 313
cars. There were savings of less than
100 cars on many other articles, such
as beans. canned goods, hay, potatoes,
sugar. wheat and wine.

FISH HATCHERY
FOR ARIZONA

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The
house of representatives has passed
an omnibus bill authorizing the es-
Enlistment of eighteen new fish
hatcheries in the United States. The
omnibus bill includes bill intro
duced by Hon. Carl Hayden, which
provides that one of these hatcheries
shall be located in Arizona and $780,
900 is authorized to be expended for
this purpose. 1t is expected that
this bill will pass the senate in the
near future so that the new Arizona
hatchery should be in operation
within the next eighteen months. It's
establishment will greatly improve
the facilities for stocking the ponds
and streams of Arizona with suitable
varieties of fish and thus develop a
new source of food supply which
should aid in the present struggle
against the high cost of living.
1t has been demonstrated that an
acre of water on farm may be
made to equal an acre of the best
land for producing food and the Blu
reau Of Fisheries is endeavoring to
stock the minor ponds, natural or ar
tificial, in order to distribute fish
food as widely as possible over the
interior of the country. Assignments
Of fish by the bureau are made large
enough to form the nucleus for q
brood stock for given area OF
water, and are delivered at the ap-
plicants railroad station by special
fish transportation cars. Pending the
construction of the Arizona hatch
cry lingering fish from other hatch
cries for distribution to individuals
for stocking public and private waters
In Arizona will be supplied by the
Bureau of Fisheries, to those who
apply. Blanks upon which to sub
NIT formal application for fish will
be furnished on request by Hon.. Carl
Hayden, congressman from Arizona.

The new game law, one of the
measures that was. adopted at the
recent election. will now read as fol-
lows:
The possession of game or fish at
any time. unaccompanied' by valid
license or permit, shall be prima

was unlawfully taken and is unlaw-
fully held. And it shall be the duty
OF every person to produce a proper
license or permit when called upon
to do so by any game warden and
permit the same to be examined and
copied.
The open season, inclusive of both
dates mentioned for hunting or TAX
ing game birds, game animals and
fish, and the bag limit on each, shall

after us and use our pathways through
the country.
The haphazard guess work given our
road work was driving the German
scientist to expressions Of very def
mite nature. e
You do not know how long your roads
will last! You have no idea which is
the best paving material for various
kinds Of traffic You are led by adver-
tlsers who know how to present their
wares and you have no scientific knowl-
edge OF what you are doing and why
you are doing it.
That is what the German scientist
thought said:
In Germany we would know. We
would pave one mile with asphalt, one
with concrete, one with brick and an
other with wood blocks. We would
spend years, if necessary, in sending
traffic at a given rate of speed over the
roadbed, knowing exactly the number
of tons used. We would manufacture
equipment for it, and when the expert
ments were concluded there would be
data to defy the most punctilious.
There would be exact formulas for
every sort of traffic, and by measuring
the traffic on a road to be built the
right kind Of material could be chosen
and there would be certain knowledge
Of just how long it would last"
But-now in this country!
Ii the actual materials to be used
were the only point of indecision the
road problem would not present such a
grave surface as it does. As a matter
OF fact the finances of road work are so
uncertainty handled, and the system of
accounting as yet SO badly managed,
that therein lies a serious tale.
For Instance, the Iowa State High
way Commission has had trouble ascer-
tanning what the counties in the state
have been spending because there is no
complete system of accounts. One
county reported collecting $4,000 for
road work, but after investigation the
commission found that $32, 500 had been
collected. Another county reported the
collection of $4,000, and investigation
showed total Of $19,6O0
And the discrepancies were not due
to desire to hide the true state of af-
fairs, but merely to bad accounting.
The answer is that the necessity for
good roads, due to general automobile
travel, grew too fast. There was no in
termediate period for thoughtful scien-
tltic consideration, there was no period
of adolescence. So America must do
the best it can. We will never give it
the German scientists consideration,
but we will better our grip on the prob
; lem thousandfold after time.
There is every reason why we should
