ALASKA TONNAGE MUST BE
 CONSERVED

The average citizen does not realize the tremendous efforts which the government is putting forth to make itself efficient in the stress of war. Likewise the majority fails to appre- ciate the tasks with which the indi- vidual officials of the government are confronted and the efforts which they are putting forth to solve the million and one problems before them.
 If the government paid overtime to it's salaried officials and to those who are periodically contributing their services, this sum would amount monthly to good many million dol lars. After all has been said and GiOne, after critics have had their say, and after the real shortcomings have been duly weighed, it will have to be admitted that this task of making the nation efficient in the business of war is being carried out successfully.
 Of course there are many details 4bat remain to be solved, but they are being solved as rapidly as is humanly possible Details cannot be solved to the best interests of the nation unless the facts in each case are correctly presented. Facts are always hard to get at. Whenever erroneous conclu- siOns are drawn they may be traced to the failure to get at the facts.
 When the United States entered the war the government immediately out 3;ned a program that was based on needs so self-evident that they could not be challenged. An army was to be raised and sent to France, muni- tions were to be manufactured, the navy was to be enlarged, food and fuel were to be conserved and their produc- tion speeded up, merchant ships were to be built, and shipping was to be con, trolled so that every available ton of space was used to the best advantage
 The word "Hooverize" was coined It was eloquently descriptive of the sound policy of the government. Ii applied equally we'll to the conserva tion of food and to the conservation Of tonnage space.
 The American nation had hardly en tered the war before it realized tha the building of ships, and more ships and the regulation and conservation of tonnage space was one of the Dig gest and most important tasks to b undertaken. To date wonders hay been accomplished in this direction There have been minor delays an Tainor mistakes, but the big work ha gone on with relentless progressio

DISTRIBUTION IF
 INSURANCE FUND
FIFTEEN TOWNS WILL PARTICl- PATE. IN THIS DISTRIBUTlON- CLIFTON GETS $so3.ea-MoREN. CI $137.54.

In the distribution of the insurance money collected from foreign insur- ance companies, fifty per cent of which is returned to towns and cities having a population of 5000 or over, Clifton will receive $303.63. Morenci will be paid $137.54.
 This fund is paid to the different municipalities for the purpose of bet. tering the efficiency of fire proven tion, but inasmuch as Clifton is with. out an organized fire department it is presumed this amount will be used for the purpose of augmenting the fund which will purchase new appar- atus, or hose.
 It might be used as nucleus to- wards the organization of depart ment, as Clifton's rate is bound to be in excess of what it should be in the absence of an organized department.
 The following communication from the Insurance Department of the Ari- zona Corporation Commission, is self explanatory, and gives the reason for this distribution, as well as the amounts each municipality will re- ceive:

ATTORNEY HOOKER INJURED
 WHEN "BIG BEN" BACK FIRED

Attorney Claude Hooker was the
 victim of rather an unusual accident last Sunday, which made him a pa- tient at the A. c. hospital for several days, and made it necessary to take a trip to Ell Paso to undergo treat ment of an occulist The result of
 one of his eyes matter of some
 doubt, though the attending surgeon | is of the opinion that the injured
 member may be preserved.
 This accident of which MT. Hooker is the victim, is rather out of the or
 dinary, and is catalogued as some thing entirely new. It was the back fire of the mechanism of Big
 Ben." From time immemorial it has
 been a we'll established fact that the rear end of a mule was a dangerous place for an innocent individual to take up his position; in recent years the back fire of a Ford has become
 known as something to be weary of, and only the new drivers, and unin- itiated autosists are victims at this
 time, but the back fire of Big Ben"
 is absolutely the latest.
 No one ever expected this faithful early riser to be an internal machine, but the latest victim knows better now. Since he has been the first victim recorded he is more familiar with this combination time pece and alarm clck, and it is never again. with him.
 vS1 when MT. Hooker attempted to set the alarm with screw driver. It seems that the knob by which the piece was wound had been broken, and to accomplish the desired end he attempted to wind up this internal machine with screw driver. The tool slipped of about the time he had accomplished the task, and the force of the spring, which failed to hold, hurled the tool out of his hand, striking him in the eye with such force as to inf1ict a very painful and serious wound.
 He went at once to the A. c. hos pita1 where he had the injury exam ined, and treated. The attending phy sician stated that it was impossible to forecast the result of the injury, but indications were favorable to preserve the eye. The screw driver did not strike the iris, but near the corner, breaking the cornea, but so far removed from the pupil that hopes are entertained that MT. Hook CT will not lose the sight of his eye permanently.
 After being treated at the A. c. hospital, and acting upon the advice>I of his physician, MT. Hooker left Wednesday morning for Fl Paso, where he has placed himself under treatment of an occulist of that city.
 Both MT. Hooker and the physician who has been treating him, have great hopes of saving the injured eye He can see slightly at certain an gles, in other directions he can see nothing. It is thought one of the muscles has sustained a tenn porary injury, which the occulist may be able to rectify All are hoping that he will soon return home fully restored.

New Club Manager
 Owing to the many duties connect. nected with the management of Ho. tel Morenci and the Morenci Club by J. W. Brighton, the management of the Morenci Club was turned oAer to N. K.
