Jerome, Arizona, News Aug 26)
Bonney Now Chief
Clerk at A. & A.

Eight or nine years ago R. G..
Bonney was superintendent of a
mine up in Colorado. Under him
was young man named W. H.
Galligan. Bonney liked Galligan
and promoted him from one posi-.
ton of responsibility to another,
finally placing him in charge of all
underground work.
Time rolled on, as time has a
habit of doing. Galligan went up
and up until, few weeks ago, he
was made superintendent of the
Arkansas and Arizona mine, at
Jerome. And the first thing he
did was to wire for his old boss,
Bonney, to come and be chief
clerk.
Bonney, in the meantime, had
drifted out of mining and gone to
railroading. He had been with
the Colorado & Southern at Boul-
der for several years when CALI
gan's telegram came. And when
he found out that he would draw
down a bigger salary as chief clerk
of the A. & A. than he had drawn
as mine superintendent in Colorado
he decided to come.
Now Bonney is on the ground
and is working just as bard under
Galligan as Galligan ever worked
under him. He likes jerome,
likes his surroundings out at the
A. & A., and, above all, likes his
Job under his former subordinate.

CANADA'S HAT OFF

Deputy Minister Of Trade and Com.
merce. at q sitting here to-day Of the
Dominions Royal Trades Commission
while suggesting steps for the improve
ment of trade conditions between Canada

British manufacturers were not 30
keen as Americans In seeking Canadian
markets. Mr.. O'Hara asserted. 1t was
necessary at times. he said. to order
British products from New York In
order to insure speedy shipments.
The goods won sell themselves, and
II needs some ono to sell them" Mr..
O'Hara said. There arc several hum
dred United States Consuls here. and
thousands-I might say miliions-of ad-
vsrtising circulars are sent into this
country every year There arc also In
Vulnerable trade and other magazines
which carry advertisements OF American
goods, which all swell the trade"
Tho situation might be appreciably
improved, the Deputy Minister sug-
gested. by subdividing the Dominion into

tives be sent here by h other overseas
