Germans Are Regaining
Pre-War Trade i'm Chile
Rev Goods Said TO Equal Amer.
ican and British in
Price and Quality

germany Is making rapid headway in
regalning trade with Chile, accordinc
60 recent reports from the latter cour-
try.
During the last few months. it is
stated, number Of steamers have ar
rlVed from Germany carrying German
mefchandlse in great variety. The
shipments have included textiles. ma
cnlnery, hardware, cutlery, toys and
drugs. The goods are not of pre-war
manufacture, but it is declared that
'hey are III no way inferior to the old
goods. In quality, it is said, they can
nold their own in many cases against
American and British manufactures.
and the prices are no higher.
II has for long time been evident" :"
says British report, that British
}rade in some lines was being endan-
gered by the competition of the United
states, but that danger is not nearly n $
great as that which will be created by
German competition when it gets into
its stride.
The Germans are almost certain to
regain their position in the toy and
drug trade The United States toy in
dustry, which made an active bid for
the trade, supplied ingeniously de-
signed articles, but they proved very
fragile and expensive. In the case Of
drugs, a campaign has been carried on
IN order to induce the acceptance Of
su' stitutes for the old German medi-
zines, but in vain"

MESA ID HAVE A SECOND
 PROJECT

The secretary of the interior has approved plan to develop an irriga- ton system for the second unit of the Yuma-Mesa auxiliary project.
 Approximately 5000 acres of irriga- bic lands, known as the second Mesa unit have been organized into the YumaMesa irrigation district under the state laws of Arizona. The cost of the proportionate part of works already constructed, properly charge able against the lands of the Yuma Mesa irrigation district. is $40 per acre, or a total of $2OO,O0O. It is esti- mated that the cost of additional works, not including power plant, necessary for the irrigation of these lands will be $60000O.
 The district plans to vote an issue of bonds for the necessary amount and, with the moneys secured from the sale of bonds, make the payments to the United States in advance of construction, as provided by the act of January g, 917.
 The lands of the second Mesa unit lie just north of the first unit, which was placed on sale last December, and adjacent to the town of Yuma. They consist of the lands on the Mesa which are in private ownership.

FAST TIME ID
 JEROME ON SUNDAY a VSANDs1

Except for an unidentified motorist; George A. Shea, superintendent of tae. Pioneers Home was the first person to make the drive from Pres colt to Jerome over the new cut of road under his own power and without assistance. This was the in formation impartcd by an engineer connected with the road camp on the shoulder of Mingus mountain to Mr. Shea, when he and Mrs. Shea drove over Sunday, leading d score of Prescott cars to the copper city for the supposed ball gamo and rodeo.
 A time record thus far is apparent ly held by County Engineer Ed. Johnson, who with Supervisor C. C. Stukey, drove 10 Jerome in 1 hour, 5 minutes. Other cars did around 1 AS and Sheriff Warren Davis with a party including MT and Mrs. L. and Miss Minnie Cordes, made the road in exactly 1:50.
 Mir. Shea'S speedometer, which he says is accurate, logged 33.3 miles by way of Bianconi'S gate near the to Granite Dells and 55.2 on the return trip by way of the Bianconi ranch and the Target Range.

THE LEAST SAID OF THIS TIE
 BETTER

The only consolation for the small Prescott section Of the audience at the Sunday ball game in Jerome lay in the fact that the wild west show put on by some of the alleged pro motors of the Flagstaff celebration of July 1, was as poor an exhibition as the pitching of Clark and the catching of Van Dyke and the bat ting, fielding and Dase-running of the Prescott GrayS.
 Jerome had little difficulty ill ham, mering Clark for large number of safetieS or converting the south paws walks into runs, and then when Murphy went in, the pitching i'm proved a little, but the support fell off and-oh well, it was 19 to get some.
 Jerome has ball club that ought to fall heavily into the Salt River valley if games should happen to be scheduled with the teams there. There are many pitchers and at least two good catchers and, taken in connec- ton with the splendid baseball dia- mond at Clark Field, the copper city has excellent equipment for the past time.

Week Of Weather Thruout Arizona

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 22.-One- half inch rain at Pinedale, southern Navajo county, was the largest amount reported to the weather bu- reau by any of it's telegraphic stations for the past week The general com plaint is that ranges are drying badly from lack of rain and that the water supply is diminishing. The water sup ply at Pinedale needs further rcpleu- ishing, as it does at Pinto, Apache county, where pumping is being re- sorted to. Stock and ranges are re- ported as good in both counties. No rain has fallen in the vicinity of Pres colt and very little about Williams and the Grand Canyon, where the range is showing the effect of dry weather. Cattle continue in good condition in the Grand Canyon sec ton and show little change about Prescott and Williams. Showers in the extreme south have been too light to be of any appreciable benefit, and conditions in the Nogales section arc reported as being most unfayorable, while at Douglas the July rainfall thus far has been the smallest in years, and the range is reported dry.
 Crop Progress In Arizona
 While the absence of rain may Dc temporarily damaging 10 stock inter csts 1t may be regarded as helpful to the cotton planter whose program of irrigation is not interfcred with by untimely showers. Cotton plants are looking strong and of good color, and good progress has been made cx- cept where the combination of hot weather, high humidity and too much water has caused somt shedding. Absence of rain has not been alto gethcr favorable for the cantaloupe| crop, as vines are wilting and the tull- est development has been checked. Dry land crops without exception arcI needing rain badly.

Bill Shaw Quits Building Game
 To Take q Rest

William Shaw, who has earned the title of home builder for his work in Prescott during the past few years, is going to retire from the active building game for a while, he has an- nounced. His record in Prescott to date, he says, is 40 bungalows.
 High costs of labor and material at this time were controlling factors in Shaw's decision to drop out of the business.
 During the time he has operated here Shaw has influenced the build ing trade more than any other indi- vidual. He has contributed to the breaking in part of the housing short age, though the progress of Prescott Is again catching up with the con- struction of houses, and this summer has noted a considerable difficulty in finding accommodations

EPIDEMIC AMONG HOGS IN SOME
 COMMUNITIES

There is an epidemic of something like hog cholera in this section of Yavapai county which Dr. Osburn has diagnosed as not true hog cholera. but which is really pleuro-entritis, or what would be termed among people as the flu" Several cases of the disease have been brought to his at tention and he has 'phoned the state veterinary at Phoenix to make visit here to study the disease.
 Dr. Osburn says people should not slaughter animals that have not been inspected as to health at this time. In order that any expense in this Con nection may be saved, he will visit any place where transportation is fur nished and make no charge for ser vices either in diagnosing cases of sick hogs or in inspecting as to fit ness to butcher for meat. He offers this service free in order to get chance to make careful study of this disease, as it is a rare one in this community, though he has seen it ire quentiy in eastern states.
 The state veterinarian, Dr. R. J. Flight, has agreed with Dr. Osburn to be here on Monday nights train and will make a careful investigation Of the matter on Tuesday.

NAVY MAN IS r1cKLED

The chief of the navy recruiting station is tickled to hear that the en- iistment weight of boys who may join the navy has been lowered. They can now be taken at IA pounds, in stead of 120 as before. The reason for this lessening of weight IS that the smallest average gain of boys from any of the naval stations Is six pounds for the first slx weeks of ser vice. This makes the officers feel that d boy who will so soon be up to the required 120 should not be kept out. It is also a commendation of the navy that the service encour- ages this increase in weight and shows that boys get what is good for them i'll tine navy.

FOREST VEL DS NEAT AMOUNT
 FOR STATE

The forests of Arizona are yielding quite an income. Height forests in the state with their yield are as fol- lows:
 Apache, with headquarters at Springerville, $54,947.35.
 Coconino, at Flagstaff, $161,S63.32.
 Coronado, at Tucson, $75,132.62.
 Crook, at Stafford, $38,352.31.
 Prescott, $75,97226.
 Sitgreaves, at Snowflake, $20,612.67.
 Tonto, at Roosevelt, $57,975.91.
 Tusayan, at Williams, $76,201E.
 Total $561, 1,057.91.
 This is for sales of timber, cord wood and other uses. Of course, some of these forests lap the state lines of New Mexico and Arizona, but the figures are approximately cor rect, The state gets 25 per cent of this money for general road and school purposes. In addition that the state receives 10 per cent more of the income because of the amount of state or school lands lying in the for est reserves. This makes 5 per cent of the total amount, which, turned over direct to the state, Is an amount approximating $200,000 per annum. An additional 10 per cent of the whole amount is set aside for trail and road improvement in the forest reserves, but spent under the national forestry management.
 There was a bill before last Con gress known as the Chamberlain bill, for setting aside a big national road fund and $10,000,000 yearly for forest betterments and roads within the for ests. The national road fund would be made big enough to make some real national highways. This bill may be brought up again at the next session of Congress.
 The federal forest road fund at pres ent has under construction the Mt Lennon road in Pima county, bridg- ing the Salt River above Roosevelt dam, and the road from Clifton to Springerville, which connects a wide scope of country hitherto not travcr- sable except by pack trans, and well for a vast area.
 The forest money for roads and trails in the Prescott division at the present time, under the 10 per cent for the use of the forest reserve amounts to only $3,000, and is to be used for trails only, as it is not large to undertake any road work.

 LAST YEAR

The office of clerk of the superior court will hardly earn its salt this month, is the fear of Clerk J. C. Woods. A falling off in receipts is staggering, he says. A bare $500 in fees is expected during the current month.
 Last month, he said, proved the most lucrative month in the history of the office. Receipts amounted to $2O6S95.
 During the fiscal year ending June 30, the clerks office took in $11,9OO or enough to pay the salaries of all attaches and that of the superior judge, too. Mir. Woods said proudly.

Letters to the Editor
WHY BE A DEMOCRAT?

 To the Editor of the Journal-Miner"
 Sir: am writing to ask qucs- tion. Now, when iii my tenth year l accompanied my father to the polls and also the funeral of the Whig party and I watched him vote for James Buchanan. I became a demo- crat. And i'll 1861, when the new party came in, ], still d democrat, shouldercd a musket several sizes too large for me and marched away 10 fight for democracy and free-whoa! I had nearly, said freedom" but should have said slavery and aristoc- racy.
 Now, my question: Just when did the democratic party become the champion of freedom! Was it in 1861, or could it have been in 1916 when they placed a dictator in the White House, who as self-appoiuted mcuthpicce of a glorious republic after hobnobbing with the crowned heads of Europe, wrote the League of Nations and tried to cram it down the throats of a free people.
 Question two: Why does the pres ident harp on democracy and free dom?
 Methinks (and hopes) that if I sur- vive Q few more months I will have attended the funeral of two political parties and that the voice of the tur- tie will have ceased 10 be heard in the land. BOB HECkLE. Canon. Ariz, July l4.
