ARIZONA WHOLESALE GROCERS ASSN. ENDS
 TWO-DAYS' SESSION

After a two-days' session at the Phoenix chamber of commerce the Arizona Wholesale Grocers association adjourned yesterday after meeting which was attended by representatives of all the large grocery concerns in the state.
 Discussion of contract forms, and market outlook occupied the greater portion of the time. Wholesalers have been through trying wears and have been subject to government control. Scarcity of merchandise in recent years led to many drastic changes in connection with contracts and pur- chases. It is the purpose of the whole salers to eliminate trade practices inimical to their interests and to ad- vocate a modification of many con- tract forms now in use by canners, packers and manufacturers.
 Prices of many food products al- ready have declined and if further de- elines become effective the wholesalers will follow the market in an endeavor to restore prices to normal, it was an- nounced. Inquiry in regard to decline elicited the information that the wholesalers have previously con- tracted for their estimated require ments of canned goods. evaporatet fruits, etc. and on such items packed during a limited season only, declines are very improbable.
 Members in attendance were: L. H
 Hofmeister of Albert Steinfeld & Go.

sides tho mine valuations themselves.
 ''Take the New Cornelia Copper company at Ajo for example. Five years ago there was nothing in valua- ton there Now there is town with several thousand inhabitants. rail road, and the mine improvements at set valuation of over s25,Oo0,0o0. If it wasn't for the mine there would be nothing there. So you can see that the railroad, the town and everything there pay their taxes, indirectly, from the mine.
 Take Gila county: If it wasn't for the mines in Gila county there would not be town of over 300 inhabitants; there would not be a railroad in the county. nor would the assessed Yalua- tion be as much as S2,000,00O. Yet today. the assessed valuation of Gila county is over $147, 100000.
 We expect to ask the next legis- lature for appropriation enough to keep a custodian at the mineral building so it can be kept open the year around

LITTLE MONEY SPENT BY ARIZONA ON THE
 MINERALS EXHIBIT

We are getting a very good min erals exhibit" declared J. c. Goodwin, superintendent of the minerals depart ment at the state fair. to a Repub- hcan reporter yesterday, but it is nothing to compare with what we ex- rect to have in the future. Our de- Rrtment is one department that very httle money is spent on. The people do not realize the importance of the mining industry to Arizona. Hun creds of thousands of dollars are ap- proprfated every year by the legisla- ture to take care of the various inves- tigations and experimental depart ments that cover agriculture. But when it comes to the mines no ap- propriation is made to advance the mining interests.
 By comparison, the assessed valua- tion of all the agricultural lands in Arizona is little over $103,0O0.OOO; :; the Miami Copper company and the Inspiration Copper company. whose property consists of a plot of ground not more than two miles long and one mile wide, is assessed for something over $9s.0o0. 900. or about s5,000OO0 less than all the farms and Improvements on tho farming land in the state. The assessed valuation of all the farming land and all the Improvements on the farming land in Maricopa county-this includes your Roosevelt reservoir and canals-amounts to a little over $60,- 900. 900. The Inspiration Consolidated Copper company, that in the year 1915 had never produced a pound of copper now is assessed at nearly $72'0OOOOOi more than all the above valuation of land and Improvements in Maricopa county There is something else be-

JouRNEYs ON THE NILE

The scenery of the Nile scarcely ever changes from day to day in it's form and colors, but only in disposition with regard to each othnn Every new scene is the turn of a kaleidoscope in which the same objects are grouped in other relations, yet always character ized by the most perfect harmony.
 Either from the pure atmosphere, the healthy lives we lead, or the ac- cordant tone of our spirits. we find ourselves unusually sensitive to all the slightest touches, the most minute rays of that grace and harmony which bathe every landscape in cloudless sunshine-Bayard Taylor.

 The reason is not far to seek. It is purely economic. Man is the most efficient machine and the cheapest animal. and so 1t comes to pass that he is the universal animal, the omni- bus of commerce and the pack mule of the race.
 It is cheaper to wear men down than to keep roads up. When he falls few care and still fewer pity. for oth- CTS are eager to fill his place. Should we offer to take the burden from his shoulder he would regard it as taking the rice from his bowl.

OUR SOLDIERS WIN
ARMORED DUEL

Washington, Jan. 22.-American
soldiers attached to the expedition
commanded by Major General Will
liam S. Graves in Siberia, twelve
days ago repulsed an attack by
Semenoff troops along the Trans
Siberian Railway and captured one
of Semenoff's generals, six officers
and forty-eight men, in addition to
killing five and wounding one.
The fight took place at Posop-
skaya, at 1 o'clock in the morning
of Jan. 10 when a Seminoff armor-
ed car attacked the American de-
tachment of thirty-eight men in
their car at that point. The Ameri-

LIQUOR SMUGGLERS
REVIVE OLD TRICKS

Buffalo, Jan. 23.-Old tricks are
being revived and new ones invented
by smugglers who are matching their
wits against those of the customs Off
GERS in an effort to bring contraband
whiskey from Canada into the United
States.
The tide of the whiskey movement
which for more than two years flow
Il from the United States into Cana
O. has turned back. Of the same
smugglers who once took long
chances to send liquor across the bor-
der into Canada now are attempting
to evade the American instead of
Canadian laws.
There has been partial lifting of
the ban in Canada. The orderin-
council issued by the Dominion gov
ernment in wartime which prohibited
inter-provisional traffic in intoXicat-
ing liquor, was rescinded on Decem-
Der 81.
Ontario still has a dry law prohib-
iting the sale of liquor across bars or
in any way except bw government
vendor upon an order from physi-
clan. This, Ontario law, however,
cannot prevent inter-provincc traffic
by mail and express. Consequently
Americans who want to take chances
with the customs laws have eXperien-
ccd little difficulty in having liquor
: delivered at the United States border.
Some of the tricks used to evade
detection by Canadian customs in
spectors when the movement of Ii
ouor from the United States to Ca
NADIA was in progress were very in
renious. Smart tires on automobiles
