When Will the Drop Drop?

The consensus of opinion at the meeting of the Arizona Wholesale Grocers' association, which held a meeting in Phoenix last week was that the trade was facing a drop in prices. No definite plan was adopted but several proposals were made to come up at another gathering in the near future by which it is hoped to steady the expected falling market and prevent sudden drop with com plicating results.

Vail of Woe for Wood and Water.

Wood is scarce and so is water. The bottom has dropped out of the road leading across the flat to the spring. and St. Johns has had to depend wholly on snow water the past week. An attempt to reach the spring by auto failed, and it is said four horses cannot pull an empty wagon across the bottom. The only thing we have moro of than we really need is mud but there could be more mud. Even now it is possible for men folks who wear rubber boots and pick their way carefully to get to the postoffice.-- St. Johns Observer.

HOCTOR LEFT s25,OOO.

PHOENIX-Frank Hector, the sheepman killed by J. D. Newman, north of Phoenix three weeks ago, was reputed wealthy. Investigation shows he leaves an estate of barely $25,000, as there is $55,000 mortgage on his flocks. One of the largest assets is his section farm in Apache county. A widow and daughter survive.

Bisbee Mine on Fire.

BISBEE-After fighting fire on the 700-foot level of the Shattuck Arizona Copper mine at Lowell for 15 days without success, officials of the company today began flooding the mine with water in an effort to extinguish the flames.
 Since February 13, two hundred men have been out of work while the 700-foot level was being bulwarked in an attempt to smother the fire. Later the entire mine force was laid off for 40 days, it being hoped by the compa- ny that at the end of that time the fire would be under control. Arthur Houle, superintendent of the mine, de. clared the situation was far from en- couraging and that the 40-day lay-off may be extended.

G7HE governor of Washington recently
called every newspaper man in the
state to the capital for conference.
He told them the Washington legislature
proposed to appropriate 1868, O0O,O OO-an
undreamed of sum. He explained that the
conditions as to reconstruction and prepar-
alton for investment demanded it. Ii
Washington wanted to be in the procession
of progress and to be in position to take
advantage of the coming immigration and
capital it must clean up and make many
improvements. At the time it seemed a
great burden, but the profits to the state
were so certain and so large as to render
the outlay inconsequentially small in com
parison.
The newspaper men, of all shades of po-
itical belief, approved the program. They
went home and explained it to their read
ers. The public of Washington has ap.
proved the programmed Washington,
during the next few years, will move ahead
as never before.
In Idaho no such heavy appropriations
are suggested, but as the identical condi-
tons confront this state it will be neces-
sary, if Idaho is not to lag behind, to make
larger appropriations than heretofore, but
with assurance of many-fold return, which
has not been the case in the past. High
ways must be constructed. Public institu-
tions must be enlarged and improved.
There is almost big job ahead.
1t cannot be handled without money.
If the funds shall be provided and these
improvements shall be made, Idaho will be
in position to receive the assured benefits
of immigration and investment.

The "V" Loan.

m mANY people have the idea that the
lM0I $15,0O0,O 600, 900 recently voted back
UWU to the treasury by congress is so
much cash paid in. Such is not the case.
What took place was the cancellation OF
authorized expenditures to that amount in
the future However much money we do
have to raise for winding up the war, it
will be $15,000,OO0,0 900 less for this year
than was expected before last Nov. II.
This reduction was anticipated by the
treasury department soon after the armis-
tice and allowed for in the forecast Of COM
ing expenditures.
There are still war bills to be paid. And
more will be incurred even though the
fighting is ended. Our army. of occupation
remains to be fed and clothed and paid.
We must also share with our allies the ex-
pense of assuring the peace that should
follow the victory.
The fifth loan, therefore, is quite import
ant. Nobody should feel that simply be-
cause the armistice was signed all need for
lending money to the government is past.
Gratitude and thankfulness for the victory
that has been won and confidence in the
peace that is being established can be best
expressed by hearty support Of the coming
