Paris, March 6.-The German cab
met, meeting Monday with party
leaders and delegates of shipowners,
agreed unanimously, it is understood
that Germany could not submit to CO.
ercion from the Entente powers,

or in the peace pourparlers proper,
according to Zurich dispatch to LIE
Journal.

would decline responsibility for con-
sequences if "the Entente tries to
speculate on German patience" De-
mahds regarding the requisition Of
shipping are held to be unacceptable
because it is said, it would definitely
"paralyze the country's economic
future"
Germany also will oppose the dis
missal Of German crews from ships

Work DELAYED

The heavy rains of the last few
weeks have greatly delayed the fin
ishing up of the concrete work on
the Benson Tombstone road, al
though there are but two or three
bridges or culverts remaining un-
finished. Two of these and the
only ones of Importance are at this
end of the line, one over the ditch
between the corner of Hi Wo &
Co.'S store and the cemetery and
the other out little beyond the
railroad Y, not over a half mile
from town. Contractor H. M. Eek
erman has had to contend with
flood water and sand washing in,
causing delay and extra labor
and preventing the pouring of con-
crete in the forms.
A short spell of dry weather
would allow the whole work to be
completed betw cen Benson and
Tombstone, although it is possible
a little going over might be re-
quired in a few places to repair
the damage done by the rains.

Putting Backbone Into Business

In reading the views expressed
by the heads of largest banks and
financial institutions of the country
one is impressed with the tone of
optimism and confidence to which
these men give voice.
They have been studying the
situation and can see bright future
for all lines of legitimate business.
They are backing their judgment
with their money and in the west
particularly, the banks are sparing
no effort to encourage and help de-
velope many permanent lines of in
dustry, such as sheep and cattle
growing, fruit and sugar beet cul-
ture, etc.
A sound and constructive bank
ing policy, both local and national
is life-saver for industry, large
and small, at this time.

Canal Company Affairs

Mr.. F. A. Jones, member of the
Arizona Corporation Commission,
upon whom devolved the investi-
cation of the affairs of the Benson
Canal Company. after a session at
which the complaining stockhold-
ers made their allegations regard
ing the management. advised that
the case be dropped, and further
that the two factions get together
and select a new board of direc-
tors. The old board had already
expressed its desire to resign and
adopted the suggestion of the
Commissioner, thus leaving the
way clear for the election of the
new board.
The new board is composed as
follows: w. P. Lofgreen, presi-
dent, ex-oficio, J. 7. Profitt, sec
retary; L. E. Coons, Wallace Cur
It's and Max Treu. Upon takiug
charge this new board put work
men to repairing the dam, which
was damaged by heavy flood water
of the present rainy season, with
the idea of getting the system back
to normal.
Mr.. Jones suggested that the
capital stock of the company be in
creased from $4,000 to 500, 900,
thereby providing the necessary
funds for substantial, permanent
improvements and also a sinking
fund.
A majority of the members of
the new board are small stock
holders, to whom the old board
seemed very willing to turn over
the management of the affairs of
the company.
The retiring board of directors
consists of: H. w. Etz, presi-
dent; M. P. Cosby, vice e-president
and acting manager; H. P. Merrill,
secretary; S. ]. Johnson and A. L.
Lofgreen, Messrs. Etz, Cosby and
Merrill have been members for the
past five years, and while the writer
knows nothing of the pros and
cons of this latest development of
company affairs, it is we'll known
that during that time property and
water have practically doubled in
value in the area served by the
company.

Encouraging Outlook for Cop
per Mining Industry

Bisbee, Ariz July 80. Direct
from the important industrial and
financial centers of the east, Hoval
A. Smith. a pioneer mining man
of the Warren district, arrived in
Bisbee Yesterday bringing message
of optimism to those whose interests
lie closest to the production of
copper. Mr.. Smith, who has ex-
tensive properties both in the
Warren district and in Sonora, and
who has made close study of the
mining situation and the demand
for the red metal, unhesitatingly
predicted at least five years of capa-
city production and development
in the copper industry.
"Unquestionably," Mr.. Smith
said at the Copper Queen Hotel
last evening, copper prices will
continue at high level for several
years, or until the demand in
Europe caused by the wars de-
structive agencies has been practi
cal1y satisfied. France, Italy,
Greece, Great Britain, Germany
and her allies, even Russia, will be
in the market for billions of pounds
of copper needed in the reconstruc-
ton of their peace time industries.
