PNCHOT CRITICIZES
PALMER'S COURSE

Attorney General Palmer, in refus-
ing to appeal the adverse decision in
tie governments suit to recover valu-
able oil lands from the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, has pursued a course
clearly unfaithful to his public
duty"
This charge was made by Clifford
Pinchot. as president of the National
Conservation Association. in a letter
to President. Wilson yesterday.
The adverse decision referred to was
handed down in the District Court of
Los Angeles on August %. 1t involves
some 10000 acres Of land, reputed to
be worth $500, 100000. On the following
morning Southern Pacific stock jump
ed IA points in the first ten minutes
of trading in Wall street.
Palmers statement that the case is
weak and could not be won on an
appeal is beside the point. according
to Pinchot.

23,O3o CARED FOR BY SAL
VATIONIsTs IN THIS DISTRICT

Denver, Colo. Jan. 27-Twenty three
thousand and thirty persons were
given various forms of temporary re-
lief by the Salvation Army in the
InterMountain province in 1919, ac-
cording to statistics just completed at
provincial headquarters by Lieut. Col
John Cousins. This charitable effort
is exclusive of the persons aided by
the Army in its industrial homes and
hotels. The figures show employ
ment was found for 2,416 outside the
Salvation Army institution of which
1918 were men and 49S women
Christmas dinners were provided
for 1850 in the year and 1866 child
rem were given Christmas toys while
$50 Thanksgiving dinners were dis
tributed. Under the asupices of the
wearers of the red cap and bonnet
ribbon 252 mothers and 353 children
were given summer outings in the
province.
During the year the Salvationists
provided meals outside their own in
situations for 6,03S persons and beds
for 1917 and distributed 5O2 pounds
of ice to the needy and 1882 pounds
of coal.
There are only 35. corps and out
side posts with 80 officers and cadets
in the province but 1875 indoor meet
ings were held with total attendance
of AL, 109. The total number of
those who gathered about the drum
and cornet at 15,1O9 open air meet
nigh was estimated at 1,496, 191, a
total which testifies the potential
power of the army for good. Two

BEGINS SURVEY

F. j. COrnlck, hydraulic engineer
connected with the state water CON-
mission, arrived here on Monday, &C
companied by his assistant A. E.
Smith of Phoenix. Mr.. Cornick came
here for the purpose of making the
preliminary investigation of the up
per ella river in this county, which
includes the making of surveys of
location of the river and its tribu-
taries, bitches, lands and ascertaining
the names of owners and acreage ir-
rigated by each, for the purpose OF
gathering data for the final adjud1-
cation of water rights along the ella
river, as provided for in chapter 164
section "a, laws of 1919, petition
having been filed in the office of his
commission calling for this adjudica-
ton.
1t is believed by many that this ad-
.udication of water rights of the citi-
ze1s located along the river is but a
step toward the inauguration of a
system of conserving the flood waters
of the river, ultimately leading to the
construction of a reclamation pro-
ject at some point up the river from
Duncan, prbably at Alma. N. M
The survey which was commenced
this week will take considerable time
to complete and after the data has
been gathered a hearing will take
place in Duncan.

WILL FORM BASE BALL LEAGUE

Morenci, Stafford and Thatcher
have started the ball a-rolling for the
formation of a base ball league for
the coming summer and plans are
now being formulated to make this
a reality. Clifton will be asked to
put up team in the field thus max
ing the distance between towns very
short. But looking over the situa-
ton as it now is Clifton has no ball
park, we have much good material
for the making of a good ball team
and with the assistance of the fans,
business men and the city it could be
arranged to put the old china garden
in shape at very little expense, max
ing it a first class ball diamond If
we are to have base ball this summer
it is up to the citizens of Clifton to
try to arrange for place to play. The
fourth place in the league is being
held open for short time awaiting
reply from Clifton. AS Wilcox wishes
to enter, we will have to get busy
and endeavor to put Clifton back on
the map as one of the best base ball
towns in the Southwest The fol.
lowing players are already in town
and are anxious to get out for spring
training: Arzate Yanez, Old Hore Mas

COPPER OUTLOOK BETTER

On January 10 and Scientific Press
Copper sales during 1919 were dis
appointing, but the outlook today is
better than it was at the beginning of
last year. Then the surplus was es-
timated at a million pounds, but this
included the metal in transit to the
refineries, so that 65O,OOO,O0O pounds
would be a fairly correct figure. Dur
ing the first four months of 1919 the
absence of sales and the accumula-
rise to nearly a billion pounds, and
prospects looked black They re-
NAMED cherries until the last two
months of the year, when about $780,
100000 pounds was sold during five
weeks, for delivery during the first
quarter of the year. Thus deliveries
of copper in 1919 did not equal the
output and the real surplus today is
larger than it was a year ago How
ever, the outlook is much improved,
for the output from the mines has
been decreased considerably, while
heavy sales have been made for for
ward delivery. The demand from
abroad is more lively and if only the
treaty of peace can be ratified there
will be a large expansion of export
business"

MAYBE NIT SIMMS is TO
RUN FOR GOVERNOR. MAYBE
MAYBE HE WON'T HE SAYS

Secretary of State Nit Simms may
be contestant for the democratic
gubernatorial nomination
He hasn't said so. Neither does he
deny that his fedora will be tossed
into the ring.
One thing is positive. Nit Simms
admits that he has been '-moiling the
possibility in his mind
Notwithstanding innumerable ru-
mors-many of them from folks who
are supposed to have the inner trend
ON political things-that Nit Simms
would seek the democratic nominal
ton for chief executive, that gentle
man this morning positively declared
that 'he has never made such an an
nouncement. And the probability, or
possibility, of his entering the polit-
ical melee must rest here
Political prognosticators- there
are many of them emphaticaIly de-
clare that they know" Mr.. Simms
will seek the democratic nomination
for the governorship. Some of them
even go so far as to indicate that Mr.
Simms, himself, has cnofided the fact
to them. But, such reports are en-
tirely without foundation. e,
Its long, long time between now
and the primary elections, Secretary
Cip,p,c tbic HAnd
many things may happen, many de-
velopments may occur and other con-
siderations may arise he added
But, of course you are planning on
seeking the democratic gubernatorial
nomination. Mr.. Simms was asked.
well cant say. at this time that
I am" he replied.
rs it fact then, that you don't
intend to enter the racer" he
questioned.
No, l won't say that I am not in
tending to seek the nomination, was
his answer.
IF you don't try for the governor
ship, will you attempt to secure the
nomination for an other Officer the
interviewer persisted.
THAT is smething l would have to
give serious thought to before l re-
Piled, was his evasive answer.
Many more questions were asked,
but the replies were as indifinite as
are the preceding ones. While all the
time the secretary of state smiled
knowingly, indicating, it is presumed,
this his mind is quite made up on his
political plans for the future, but that
he isn't ready to acquaint the public
with them.
However, one thing is certain, Nit
Simms, according to his own state
ment, hasn't told anyone-yet, that
he will be d contender for the demo
cratic nomination for governor.
