CHANGE IN NAME IF PHELPS DODGE

According to documents filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission, reorganization and unification of Phelps, Dodge & Company and its subsidiaries has been effected Through proper action of the authorities of New York state, under the laws of which the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company is organized, that company has changed it's name, and will henceforth be known as the Phelps Dodge Corporation and it will now become the owning and operating company for various important mining enterprises in Arizona and New Mexi- co, heretofore owned and operated by separate subsidiary companies of Phelps, Dodge & Company.
 According to the statements of company officials, this step merely concerns the internal organization of Phelps Dodge interests and does not forshadow an increase of outstand- ing capital, CT purchase of additional property, or any other matter external to the corporation. Primarily, it marks or foreshadows the elimination of the holding company. Heretofore, Phelps, Dodge & Company a corpora tion, has held the capital stock of various subsidiary operating compa- nies, which will now be brought into direct ownership and operation by a single company.
 This change is made in deference to the growing attitude of public opinion toward holding companies, and to harmonize with legislative tenden- cies and enactments in that direction. Also, and in an important degree, the change is designed to simplify the management and operation of the vari- ous properties and to avoid complicat- ed and expensive duplication of ac- counts which was necessarily incident to the holding company system. In short, it is a mere reorganization of the Phelps, Dodge companies without change in holdings, ownership or of ficials, and is intended primarily to promote efficiency and economy.

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF
 TEMPERANCE FEDERATION

The fourth annual convention of The Temperance Federation of Ari- zcna has been called to meet in Phoenix at the Central Methodist church on Tuesday, March 27, 1917. The convention will begin at 9:30 a. m. on this date.
 Important matters in connection with the temperance cause will be taken up, also the advisability of the l Temperance Federation taking up other reforms will be considered and decided upon. One of the best pro grams ever carried out at any of these conventions is being arranged. It is expected that ex-Gov. Cruce of Ok i Sunerintendent of the Temperance Federation, will deliver addresses.
 While apparently no crisis in the prohibition cause in this state is at hand, yet we can ill-afford to quit the ! icb or be caught mapping. State af- ter state is going dry and before many years the nation will follow. The chief impetus to this onward march Of nrohihition is the beneficial rnsr1t3 shown where it has been tried. The time is at hand for us | tH ret the full benefits from the aboli- tio2 of the liquor traffic and to make Arizona the guiding star of the nation in this reform. To do this our laws must be fully and impartially enforced.
 Any organization, religious, social or political, that is opposed to the liouor traffic is entitled to send two delegates. Everyone is urged to at tend, whether as a delegate or not. THOS K. MARSHALL,

in the preps ration of their ballots.
 Judge Stanford reminded the at- torney that a few days ago he had expressed an unwillingsness to use his discretion for a further continu- ance of the contest which threatened to become interminabla. He stated at that time that if the motion were allowed the bars would be thrown down for motions of similar char acter by the attorneys for the con testee. Judge Sloan and MT. Bullard said that there were at least six pre- cinctS in which voters had been as sisted as it was alleged the voters of Navajo precinct. had been, and if Snowflake precinct were now brought in, a motion would he offered to bring these in. One of these pre- cincts is in Gila county, one in Green lee, two in Yavapai, one a Douglas precinct and one in Mohave. In all of them majorities had been counted for former Governor Hunt.
 Judge Stanford said he was desir- ous that it should be said at the close of this contest that the ballot had been purified and that it would be thus made plain for the future that the ballot could not with i'm punity be corrupted in this state. He directed MT. Ives to prepare an affi- davit of the things he expected to prove as to Snowflake precinct and present it on Monday morning after it had been submitted to the attor- neys of the other side.
 On Tuesday of this week Judge Sanford ordered the Snowflake pre- cinct re-opened and the testimony re- garding this precinct will be con cluded on Tuesday, April 8. The at torneys for Governor Campbell are now confident that the Governor will retain his seat and the contest de- cided in his favor.

stricken out on two principal grounds One was the admitted fact that mem- bers of the election board of the same party accompanied to the booths per- sons other than those physically in Icapacitated, and assisted them in the marking of the ballots. That, said the court, alone would warrant throw ing out the precinct. The conStitu- tion of the board of election, compos ed almost entirely of persons not re- siding in the precinct was another cause for rejecting the vote of the precinct.
 Judge Stanford said his mind had undergone a change since the begin ming of taking evidence, regarding this precinct He had believed after hear ing the testimony of Henry Elvy, one of the witnesses for the contestee, that the vote of the precinct should be counted Elvy, republican watcher at the polls, had not observed any ir- regularities. But the witnesses, Pearson and Hart, for the contestant, had disclosed such irregularities.
 In arriving at the decision, the court had not taken into account the testimony regarding gambling and drinking about the polls and no men, tion was made of the character of the ballots which had been made eX- hibits by the contestee. The court alluded to the testimony that many negroes lived in that precinct and that according to the testimony of witnesses for the contestant, they had been among those whose votes at their request had been changed from republican to democrat.
 Now for Snowflake Precinct
 On the announcement of the de- cision MT. Ives, for the contestant, re- newed his motion of few days ago for reopening of the case of the contestant that Snowflake precinct, in Navajo county, might be brought in for an investigation of charges of irregularity. In this precinct a ma jority of 1O1 had been counted for Governor Campbell. It was alleged that Joseph w. Smith, a resident of that precinct but not a member of the election board, had accompanied voters to the booths to assist them

CON. Ck N PEEL WINS DECISION IN
 DOUGLAS

Douglas Precinct No. l will not figure in the recount in the governor ship contest. That phase of the con troversy came to a sudden end in the middle of the afternoon Saturday when both sides rested and Judge Stan ford announced his decision granting the motion of the contestee to strike out this precinct from which major ity of 123 was returned for former Governor Hunt.
 The decision was prompt and the reasons given for it were brief. It was really part of a colloquy be- tween the court, and the attorneys on both sides, growing out of recrimina- tions between the attorneys in which each side charged. the other with hav- ing consumed unnecessary time in the presentation of the evidence regard ing this precinct.
 The court stated that much evi- dence had been brought, in 0n both sides that had little or nothing to do , with the main issue and that more evidence on that issue than was really needed had been introduced.
 Judge Stanford said he had arrived at a decision and in doing so he had .disregarded several things that might have been supposed would influence him but had not. One was that most of the papers of the state had favor ed the Campbell contention; another was that he himself was a democrat and still another was the great and undoubted popularity of Gov. Camp bell in this county
 He said that in his opinion suffi- cient evidence had been introduced to warrant the striking out of that pre- cinct and he would therefore order it

 PLEASES CARVER
Local Man of Morenci Makes Per. sonaI Investigation of Texas Pro- ducerS.

The Electra, Texas oil fields are all that they have been represented ac- cording to c. l.. Carver, of the D. c. store of Morenci, Arizona, who has just returned from visit to the prop erty. MT. Carver and number of associates are interested in The Texas-Colorado Oil & Development Company and made the trip to Elec- tra for the purpose of seeing whether any misrepresentation had been made by Mir w. E. Priddy, representative of the above named company.
 Mr. Carver declares that everyth- ing is as it has been represented. He states that Messrs. T. F. and w. R. Mckenzie, owners of the ground of The Texas Colorado Oil Company, are highly recommended by both banks of Electra as being men of honesty and integrity and thoroughly capable of complying with all obligations and statements made in their contracts and literature.
 The Company's ground adjoins hold ings on the South on which twenty one producing oil wells have been de- veloped, and also has four producing oil wells short distance east of their property, one of these wells is pro- ducing 250 barrels per day. The depth at which these wells have been struck is from 1000 to HOO feet.
 The company is to sink four wells immediately, and have one of their wells now drilling at 700 feet. They have two leases that are also located in proven territory. MT. Carver has bought a number of lots from this company and states that he considers it safe investment of great possi- bilities.
