COTTON GROWING IN ARIZONA.

At the present writing it ap- pears that the growing of short staple cotton is a dead industry in the Salt River valley. Let us hope that it will stay dead as long as the production of Egyp- tian cotton continues to give Sa- tisfactory returns to the grower. Each cotton growing community should settle as quickly as pos- sible On some variety to which the local conditions are adapted. The Imperial and Yuma valleys, like the Salt River valley were favored with ideal conditions for growing Egyptian cotton, The farmers in the first two named districts failed to see the ad- vantage in growing a variety of cotton to which no other part of the country than the arid South west is adapted, and consequent ly these districts do not enjoy with the Salt River valley the favorable prospects to which they were naturally entitled. The Yuma and Imperial valleys have no monopoly on the com- mon American Upland" or on the Durango" cotton. In grow ing them they continue subser- vient to conditions in the eastern "cottonbelt" states which will always govern the prices they will secure for their product grown on more expensive land. With the present outlook for the Egyptian cotton growing indus try in the Southwest, the Stock man. Farmer advises the farmers of the Imperial and Yuma val leys to get in line with the Salt River valley and to abandon as soon as possible the growing of the less profitable varieties StOckman- Farmer.

MILITARY ROAD ORDERED.
New Highway will Connect eorderland
 Routes.

General Fred Funston, com manding the border troops, has authorized the expenditure of 5000 for the construction of a military reservation at Fort Huachuca to eliminate round about routes from Douglas to No gales and other border points, according to advices received from the Nogales Chamber of Commerce, says the Tucson Citizens.
 The military highway will con nect the highway of the border land route with completed road built by the forestry service from Camille to the base of the Huachuca. It will give prac- tically direct good roads from the military reservation at the fort to Nogales, Lochiel, Naco, Bis bee and Douglas on the border and Tucson and communication with the interior, eliminating desert travelling.
 The construction will begin at the eastern side of the Fort Huachuca military reservation boundary and run across the re- servation to connect with the road built by the forestry service to the western boundary of the reservation. The forestry serv- ice road carries the route to Ga nile, with branches to NogaleS, Tucson and Lochiel. I1 would eliminate the present necessity of crossing the desert to reach these points.
 At it's eastern end the part authorized by general Funston will connect with the already established borderland route at Hereford. This road has bran ches to Naco, Douglas and Bis bee on the border.
 The work done by the For estry service on the connecting road cost about $4, 500.
 There remains a little strip of the road, about three quarters of mile, to be completed to con- meet the road authorized by Funston with. the system of border or military roads, that will result from the construction now ordered.
 The matter had been consider ed by General Funston previous ly and rejected. During his re- cent tour of inspection, how ever, he became impressed with the importance of having ready access to the border from the fort and from the fort to the in terior, and it is said, ordered the work to begin. Although the cost is set at $9, 900, it is not inn probable that the work would require much more, since there is considerable rock work involved.

All agree that the year 1916 was the banner year in mining in Arizona, but the year 1917 bids fair to make new record of output This is evidenced by the rapid development of outside properties near the big mining camps, also in other districts, With this spreading out the min ing towns cease to be one mans camp and it means a new era of freedom. When mining becomes so diversified that few men cannot control, then will Ariz- ona have truly come into it's own.

Silver prices have remained steady and unaffected by peace talk, the quotation being a little over 75c an ounce. There seems to be a. a.general impression that peace will cause even higher prices for silver, and some of the nations students of finance are predicting an eventual price of S1 for the white metal, which would mean great prosperity for the silver producers.

collar and stock are preferable though
not so new. The one great essential
of shirtwaist attire is immaculate
freshness, trimness, perfection, and it
is better to wear a collar that will
show these characteristics after a few
hours wear than one that is more chic
at the start and lacks staying power.
In low necked models both fiat collar
and rolling collar neck finish are liked.
Some of the best models have roll COL

with two deep points in front Others
have the roll shawl collar and there
is a good white linen model which has
this collar bound narrowly. as are the
buttonholes, cuffs and pockets, with

The fiat or roll sailor collar is better
