A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS

1t is not necessary TO elaborate on
the Elks 11th annual ball given at the
Auditorium on Wednesday evening
New Years eve. However viewed.
whether from an artistic or decora-
tive standpoint, whether from the
number present, whether from the
pleasure derived, whether from the
array of feminine beauty and charm,
or from any other angle of vision, it
was up to the standard of what the
Elks usually achieve. The followers
of Terpsichore danced until there be-
gan to appear tokens and heralds of
the coming day, regretting that so de-
lightful an evening should come to an
end. The Elks are a royal set with
an unrivalled record as entertainers.

WEBB IS NAMED AS
PROHIBITION
DIRECTOR
Graham County Man To Supervise
The Enforcement OF The Prohi-
bition Amendment In The
State. Constitutional Dry.
Nation Jan. 16. An I'm

Wilfred T. Webb, leading business
man of Graham county, was today

tion director are to cooperate with

rector will deal exclusively with the
good citizens and the potentially good
citizen. He will organize public op
inion through the medium of civic,
religious, fraternal and commercial
organizations. He will be an ap-
ostle not so much of prohibition as of
law enforcement. To him will fall
the task of administering the perinis-
Sive features of the law, such as the
manufacture and sale of near-beer, the
use of non=beverage alcohol. use of
liquors for sacramental and medical
purposes and the assessment of taxes,
etc. Each director will have a corps of
assistants to be known as federal pro-
hibition inspectors, who will deter
mine for the director the condition eX-
listing in every part of the state.
Constitutional prohibition becomes
effective on January 16.
Webb is well known in political
circles. He has long taken a part in
the political life Of the state and is
| a local leader OF the democratic party

ing the Twenty-second and Twenty
third, territorial and was speaker O
the house during the Twenty-third

convention he was known as a pre-
gressive. Webb comes from tn
same county as Attorney General W

LABOR CONDITIONS
IN ARIZONA
BEST--DAv|ES
Federal Labor Administrator Says
That Conditions In This State More
Satisfactory Than Elsewhere in
u. S. Conciliatory Attitude
of Employers Largely
Responsible.

Phoenix, Dec. 3O.-"No state in
the union can compare with Arizona
In the matter of satisfactory labor
conditions, was the emphatic state
ment made by Hywel Davies, federal
labor administrator for this state, to-
day while the east has been
through the throes of a coal strike
and while all industries elsewhere
seemingly are affected by the indus
trial unrest of the day, | return to
Arizona to find general labor condi-
tions in better condition than they
have been in years.
Davies was called east by the coals
strike situation. and it was largely
due to his personal efforts that an
agreement was reached between the
unions and the operators. After re-
viewing the affairs of his office and
the work on the United States en-
ployment service which is being con-
Quoted under the department of
labor, Davies left for the coast to
resume his duties in connection with
an industrial survey of the oil situa-
ton there.
The concilliatory attitude of the
large employers of labor in Arizona
in meeting the high cost of living is
largely responsible for the present
propitious state of affairs, in the
opinion of the labor administrator.
The labor administrator expressed
himself as well pleased with the pres
ent control of organized labor in this
state, as established by the recent
convention of the state federation OF
labor Z am heartily in accord, he
| said. with any step toward con-
servation for conservatism means re-
gard for the position of the other fel-
| low and a desire to meet him half
way.
THAT this is being accomplished is
shown by the fact that after my re-
turn to Phoenix headquarters I find
] just one little case needing my atten

| only one man"
Davies paid a high tribute to E. T

E. employment bureau. ''The work

|Hy c.. M. Butler, Tucson:

There appears to be a sound basis
flor feeling optimistic about the min
ling situation. There is absolutely no
Idoubt but that the European coun
tries are badly in need of copper. With
/ the signing of the peace treaty it will
be- possible to market large quanti
Sties of our stock of manufactured COP
eriin the Central Empires, and enor-
loiis amounts will be sold in England
France and Italy, and other European
countries when the financial situation
in these countries is improved. The
demand for copper exists, and we have
the supply; it is inconceivable that we
shall have to wait very long before
the balance between supply and de-
mand is restored.
The high price of silver is another
ameliorating circumstance for which
we should be thankful, and it may lead
to the discovery of a number of good
silver properties which will continue
10 be profitable for years to come.
Development in our copper mines
was largely neglected during the war
when a high production was almost
the sole end sought. The present per
iod of stagnation has enabled the
large companies with abundant re-
sources to do some much needed de-
velopment work. anc they are now in
good shape to operate proftably and
economically when market conditions
improve.
Metals are the backbone of the
worlds industry and Arizona is the
greatest metal mining state in the
Union Certainly it would be folly to
admit that we have reason to fee
deeply discouraged simply because the
many problems that confront us dur
ing readjustment have not yet beer
fully solved. That they will and mus
be solved one cannot deny unless he
!. is willing to admit that our civilization
going to be destroyed and this il
kpnceivable.

agree fully with you that the

we here produce just what the rest

An Amusing Scene


The scene at the fire was amusing
no less than serious. 1t happened that
there were two dances in Clifton on
New Years eve-the Elks big annu-
al ball at the. auditorium and mas
uuerade ball on Chase Creek. Many
of the revelers of the night were just
returning to their homes when the
shrill fire whistle blew. Some were
in evening dress and others in mas
uuerade costume. There was no time
for change of dress and probably lit
the thought of it. So the spectacle of
citizens SO suddenly assembled and
fiebting fire in evening dress and
crotesque costume was not with ;u'
it's humorous side.
