OIL AND COKE MAY
Be RENDERED FROM
VAST IGNITE BEDS

Ignite coal on the Navajo Indian
reservation and near the new Apache
railroad can be reduced to Oil, leaving
a good quality of coke by a process
of reduction, c. NJ. lander, chairman
OF the Arizona tax commission, said
Yesterday Mr. lander declared that
the process known as the Wallace
process, demonstrated before the oil
shale committee at the American Min
ing congress at East st. Louis few
days ago, could produce oil from this
Ignite coal in the same manner il
produced oil from shale at an impro-
vised plant for the benefit of mem
bers of the American Mining congress.
Mr. lander expressed himself as be-
ing satisfied that millions of tons of
oil shale and Ignite coal. now of no
commercial value, can be made to
yield profit and reduce costs in this
state.
There had been fear expressed, he
said, over the theory that the oil well
supply of oil was limited in the world.

Practically every grocery man seen
said that little sugar would be ar
irving in Phoenix, yes; but it will ar
rive in very small quantities, prob
ably only few sacks at a time. What
little sugar does arrive will not even
sbe noticed; it will vanish as soon as it
enters a store. 1t win not be drop in
the bucket of the city's needs.
No relief in the sugar shortage sit
uation before the first of the year
need be expected, in the opinion of
r. b. Summers, head of the Bon Ton
grocery. The same opinion was held
by G. L. Summerfield. of the Melczer
Grocery company, and others.
Waiting on the Refineries
The situation, simply, is this: The
retailers can get no sugar. The whole
salers can get no sugar. The jobbers
can get no sugar. Everyone is wait
ing for the sugar to come from the
refineries. and there is no prospect OF
any stable supply coming before the
first of the year.
Grocery men yesterday united in de-
claring that those persons who have
some sugar on hand refrain from try
ing to buy more from the stores. This
action will give the hundreds and
thousands of persons who have M
sugar a chance to get perhaps a very
small quantity. The action OF person:
who, having some sugar at home. be-
come alarmed and try to buy more
thereby keeping it away from those il
actual want, was decried heartily OF
every hand.
Rumors were afloat yesterday tina
some concerns were holding back a lit
tie supply of sugar for Christmas. bu
these could not be confirmed Othe
unconfirmed rumors heard were to thu
effect that the Louisiana refinerie
have been offered a set price Of abou
II cents a pound for their cane sugar
which would make the retail price up
wards Of 20 cents.
Don't Waste What You Have
One thing could be learned withou
difficulty, however, and that was tina

That Governor Estavan Cantu Of
Lower California is acknowledging

E. Campbell of Arizona by the consul

met the Arizona governor and his
party at Yuma and accompanied him
the remainder of the way TO his CAPT

on his return TO Phoenix yesterday.
The governor said that both he and
Cantu carefully avoided discussing in
ternational affairs and that he con-
graduated Cantu upon the progress
he had made in civic Improvements at
Mexicali.
The acknowledgment of Carranza
| referred to grows out of political diff
ferences that existed when Cantu was
made governor of Lower California
Carranza was then rebel in coopera-
ton with General Villa and succeeded
in overthrowing the Mexican govern
