ON, ARIZONA

The following article on Arizona, by M. l. Powers, appeared in a recent is- sue of the American Bankers Asso- citation Journal which has national circulation:
 'The assessed valuation of the min es of Arizona for the year 1919 is $496, 100000, being over one half of the total assessed valuation of the state, the mining industry being first in importance, followed by agriculture and live stock in the order named. During the year just passed the Ari- zona mines produced STA, 100000 in minerals or total of 19,00O,O00 tons of average gross value of $9.10 ton. Copper production amounted to six teen times the value of all other pro- auctions combined. Gold production amounted to $5,992, ,OO0; silver produc- tion amounted to $4,986,000. The to- tai value of all metal production in 1918 was $7,000,000 less than in 1917. The copper mining companies are now running at about 60 per cent basis and the smelters about the same. The outlook is none too promising on account of the large surplus on hand and the small demand by foreign cuntries, and the fact that the costs of production are high while a rela- tive price on copper is low.
 Agriculture has been given a won do,~f,,1 i,,opot,,c i, tho Colt D;x,or Vol ley under the Roosevelt Dam, and other sections subject to irrigation, by introducing of the long staple Egyp- tian cotton. In one county alonet Maricopa-in' the Salt River Valley, there were 75,000 acres in cotton this year as against 34,0O0 acres last year. The total value of the crop would run from fifteen to twenty mil lion dollars. This appears rather re- markable in view of the fact that this cotton was introduced only few years ago in this state, which is one of the few places in the world where this cotton can be grown successfully.
 The past year was record one for fruits. With the season half gone, already seventy cars of oranges and grapefruit have been shipped from Salt River Valley. Arizona's oranges and grapefruit are among the finest in the United States, and are shipped to California points as we'll as to eastern points. The superior Arizona grapefruit is given promin- ence in such places as Portland, San Francisco and Vancouver, and brings fifteen cents per box more than Tu- lare County, California, oranges, which come from San Francisco's own door.
 Although it is estimated that cater

pillars have eaten 175 carloads of let tuce in the Salt River Valley, there will still be shipped in the months of January and February over 500 car loads of this vegetable alone.
 The past year has been most bene- ficial one for the live stock industry on account of the heavy rainfall, the heaviest in twentytwo years. The cattle industry has been rather slow in the way of prices, being somewhat less than last year. Sheep and wool have commanded high prices, with in- dications for higher price for wool next year.
 Arizona expects to spend in the next two years $2O,0OO,O0O on good roads. Most of the counties have vot- ed bond issues to be supplemented with like amount by Federal aid'
 Among important projects to be de- veloped is the proposed San Carlos Dam to store over 2,000,000 cubic feet of water and to irrigate from one hundred to two hundred thousand acres of land.
 The banks, while not showing the increase of previous years, have shown a general increase of about II per cent. for the last year in total re- sources. In the ten years from 1909 to 1919 the resources of the banks have doubled twice in each five-year period. While the total resources are not so large as in some of the eastern states, considering that Arizona is new country and has large unde- veloped area, we feel these figures are immensely encouraging"

CANADA INVADED BY EAGLE

ROOF of a new house at the corner Of
Lot and Peter streets. 1t was Just
about noon. and children coming from
school espied him, says the Detroit
News
The bird stayed on his perch for
some time. when the mob gathered be-
low. The eagle surveyed the crowd in
bored manner during the nAnutes
when he was not engaged in searching
with his beak for something or things
under his feathers. The crowd be-

The American eagle spread his wings
to their full extent and, waiting not

Down the streets of Sandwich the
proud bird trotted with unhurried
but dangerous steps. Through gaunt-

Beliefs About Worlds End.

The Mohammedans believe the time
of the end of the world to be per-
feet secret to all save God alone: the
angel Gabriel himself acknowledged
his ignorance on this point when Mo
hamined asked him about 1t.
Christianity of all is the least Ger
tain about the precise time of the
event. Jesus, telling his disciples of
the precursory signs of the great ca
tastrophe. said: "Yerily. this genera
ton will not pass before my words
shall be accomplished" The first
Christians. accordingly, looked to I'm
mediate fuliillment of the prediction
and believed the end of the world
near at hand. Although the advent
failed to come to pass. they claimed
to believe in its near realization. Still,
centuries followed centuries and the
world continued to live.
