George Hohenstein, formerly of Ray,
and chief clerk for Mr. Backstein, is
Ray visitor He is back to see his
old friends and help Mr. Backstein
get his new establishment in the val
ley started George has blossomed
into real live up-to-date merchant
himself since he left Ray he has
a haberdashery ,at CaIlp1STIa, Cal,
which is not far from Los Angeles.
George expects to make frequent
trips between his own establishment
and the Ray end. We are all glad to
see him again, and hope that he may
finally decide to remain here entirely,
if he cannot do better George makes
friends wherever he goes, so that is
why he has been missed since leav-
ing. He reports that Arthur Schiller
man, formerly of Ray, is progressing
nicely, now being secretary of the
firm with which he started some
months ago. George also reports that
Arthur has done gone and got mar

RAY CON CLUB
SMOKER PROVES A
SMOKER PROVES

The smoker at the Ray Con. club
on the evening of Saturday July
18th, was -crowded with interesting
spectators.
After the regular election of Of
ficers, a list of which appears else
where in this issue, a number Of
boxing bouts were put on.
The first was between Roger Girls
void and Ernett Vann for three
rounds which ended in a draw.
Howard Harris and Ewell Walsh
mixed it for a three-round draw.
The most interesting event of the
evening was the bout between Jack
May and Lloyd Antonial. Both
showed excellent boxing proclivities
and the showing was much enjoyed
by those present.
For the sake of real run, the 'twen-
ty-five round farce between Ben
Bound and Jack Marshall, had the
Mike O'Dowd-Battling Ortega go
packed OFF the map. They milled
around and puffed like the four spot
on slippery track and finally wound
UP in the third with Bound putting
left body and right jaw simultan-
eously which led Jack to believe that
he was home asleep. After some
persuasion Jack was coaxed back to
earth and admitted that he hadn't
come back like he thought he could.
He said though, he would ask for a
return match some time this summer,
because he thought Ben could do
better in winter than during the
warm weather on account of his
avoirdupois.
Music was furnished by Mr.. Stauss
with the Jazzy orchestra

EDENS SUCCEEDS ]. A.
MULCAHY AT The
KELVIN LUMBER CO.

Mr.. ]. A. Mulcahy, one of Rays
most prominent men and long identi-
fled with the Kelvin Lumber and Sup
ply company of Ray and Winkelman,
left this week to make his home in
California. He was to have been sue
ceeded by his brother, Ed Mulcahy,
who has been with the firm at Win
kelman since last December. How
ever, owing to illness, the latter was
compelled to sever his connection
with the firm, at least temporarily,
and is succeeded by Mr. Edens of the
Hayden branch of the same firm.
We regret losing Mr.. Mulcahy
and extend a cordial welcome
to Mr.. Edens Mr.. Edens needs no
introduction to the citizens of Ray,
he having been contractor in Ray
some years ago.
Mr.. J. A. Mulcahy. came to
Ray several years ago and has
been identified with local organ

which he could be of assistance to
the welfare of the community The

and his many friends wish him con-
tinued success in his new field.

With Stewart on the mound for
Ray, Doc Hutton's fighting machine
wiped UP the Standard Oils aggrega-
ton of iron barrel smashers Sunday
to the tune Of II to 4. At no time
was the game in danger as Stewart
held the Oilers to nine hits, striking
out II men. Only when the game
was thoroughly packed away on ice
did he loosen up and allow the
Phoenicians to see what scoring felt
like on their own ball lot.
The "invincible" Duke Cross, who
started for the. Oilers, has according
to at least one Phoenix sporting
editor, seen his best days for this
season. After the first four frames,
in the course of which Ray annexed
just seven tallies, he was retired to
the bench and Heflin took his place.
Cross famed but two of Doc Hut
toms men, while Heflin had but one
strike-out to his credit when the
totals, were footed up.
Our Tony, who officiated behind the
plate, led the procession around the
field, with four hits, including one
double in five times at bat Nickel
and Davis each got two hits and
nearly everybody else had at pleast
one to his credit.
The big noise started in the first
inning, when Ray piled up three
runs against the Oilers. The third
saw two more tallies added and the
performance of that frame was dupli-
Gated in the fourth. One in the
seventh, and two in both the eighth
and ninth frames made up the total
Hubbard for the Oilers smashed
out a home run in the sixth, when
two men were on bases, this consti
tuting the feature Of the game from
the standpoint of the much-touted
Oilers.

SIGNS OF .RETRENcHMENT

WASHINGTON officials
who have been waiting to see a curl
tailment of extravaganza in the coun|
try, and restoration of the days OF
economy, have marked with consider
able interest the collapse Of the In
terchurch billion dollar drive. They
likewise have taken note of failure
of the Salvation Army to put over it's
drive, despite public enthusiasm for
the Army's work in the war.
What interests them is whether
this failure of subscription drives
can be taken as a barometer of i'm
pending hard times, or is merely the
first hint of retrenchment by the
average citizen. 1t is understood
that the "drive" as a means of rails
ing funds has been over-worked and
that there has been a public reac-
tion from the long series of wartime
calls for charity and patriotic sub.
scriptions, but the fact that the last
issue of treasury certificates, with
their unprecedented rates, went over
without any campaign is taken by
treasury officials as a good indication
that the public is ready to put its
money into investments, but is be-
ginning to exercise caution in its
actual disbursements from the family
Spurse.

Per Cent
Increase

The slackened rate of increase re-
Gently is chiefly attributable to less
ened immigration. In five years end
ed with the fiscal year of 1919 our i'm
migrant total was only 1,172,679, as
against 5,174661 lin the immediate
preceding five years. Allowance for
this difference of 100000 would
bring the decades 100000 popula-
tion gain we'll up to the highest for
any prior decade. Then there were
the minor factors of return of Euro
pean nationals, our own war losses,
and the influence on birth-rate of our
foreign military operations
The urbanizing of our people pro-
ceeds apace. The aggregate popula-
ton in 587 cities of over 10000 peo-
pie, as reported to date in the 1920
census, represents 1916 per cent of
The Arizona copper camp., 1920-07-24

the 1O5,O00,OOC total. This contras
with 349 per cent in 1910 and wit
312 per cent in 1900. The census bS
real draws line between rural AM
urban" based on less or more thai
$500 population. The urban percenH
age on that basis rose from 36,1 PEI
cent in 1890 to 4O.5 per cent in 1905
and to 1853 per cent in 1920. The in
dication from the figures SO far rd
ported is that the new ratio will bI
around IS per cent or Sc per cent?
against Sc per cent thirty years agd
In the past decade it is the citie|
between 25,0OO' and $4,000 and thos|
between 100000 and 100000 thai
have grown fastest. The three morl
than a million cities-New York, Chi
cago and Philadelphia-reveal th|
smallest percentage growth. 1t is il
the new developments of specialized
manufacturing as, connected
with motordom-that the big gain
have come.
The magic Of the higher wage ant
of urban living conditions is mad'
more manifest than ever under recen
economic conditions. The effects il
farm labor shortage, tenant farming
etc., become yet more obvious. Witt
the city share in our population rise
from one-third to approaching two
thirds, the question recently suggest
ed by ex-Secretary Lane grows NOR
pertinent: Are we becoming over-ir
dustrialized?
The Arizona copper camp., 1920-07-24
POPULATION TENDENCIES

The population figures being issued
piecemeal by the census reflect clear
ly two tendencies known to have been
operative the past five or six years.
One is direct result of the war-pri-
marily in the drastic curtailment of
immigration-as further lessening
the percentage of population. The
other is further drift from the coun-
try to the city, which since the armis-
tice the movements of ex-service men
have accentuated
Of course, as population approached
and then crossed the 100,000,0G0 mark,
it was not mathematically possible
for the percentage gains each decade
ito maintain the ratios shown when
our total was half as large, and when
both the room and the need for new
corners were so much greater. Yet
the gain percentage of the last ten
years-to the disappointment of many
sections and communities-has trailed
off faster than usual
The census forecast of los, 100000
means only 100000 increCBe the
past decade, against 100000 and
100000 respectively in the two pre-
ceding decades. 1t means but 14.2
per cent growth, as against 21 per
cent and 20.7 per cent, as shown in
the following:

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

NEW YORK.-There is wide diff
ference of opinion respecting COM
modify prices the next six months.
Consumers are hoping for decline be-
fore end of the year and have been
buying sparingly. On the other hand,
manufacturers who believe a fall in
prices in the near future is out of
the question are in the majority.
The head of one manufacturing con-
Germ that does a gross business run
ming into millions annually holds
there is a greater scarcity of goods
in hands of manufacturers, whole
salers and retailers than at any time
within six months. He argues if Ia
Dor is kept fully employed, an ad-
vance in prices of many classes of
commodities, rather than decline, will
be in order before close of the year.
People," he said, "are looking for
a drastic decline in textiles, particu-
larly woolens. We may get it, but
fundamentals are against severe re-
duction. The sales movement ex
tended from Atlantic to Pacific and

OPTIMISTIC is The
REPORT OF MAGMA
Chief MANAGEMENT

Optimistic in the extreme is the re-
port of K Pomeroy, general manager
of the Magma Chief Copper company,
mailed to stockholders of the corpora
ton this week Installation of heavy
equipment which will permit of ex-
tensive development and heavy pro-
duction is announced, as is also the
fact that engineers have reported
available ores amounting to 250,000
tons. Doubling of the reserve within
the next ninety days is predicted
Construction of a 1O0-ton concen-
trating plant of the flotation type is
to start in the near future, the report
says. Pending it's erection the COM
pany plans to ship fifty tons of ore
daily to the Hayden smelter. Profits
to exceed $40 a ton on the fifty tons
Of ore shipped daily, it is stated, will
add sufficient funds to the company's
treasury to make possible either dec
laration of a dividend or increase of
tonnage capacity
Shipments of ores to the smelter
have returned as high as % per cent
copper and ten ounces of silver to the
ton. AS the ore comes from the mine
it will average 9 per cent copper and
six ounces of silver and some gold.
Concentrates from the ore as broken
will average about a 80 per cent re-
covery, about 40 per cent copper and
fifty ounces Of silver.

wish to continue business. When they
do start to buy, they will find manu-
facturers have little to SELL The
manufacturer will be in a position to
dictate prices, but do not believe he
will take advantage by squeezing the
merchant. At the same time, he is
not going to give goods away He
will have the upper hand. This, of
course, will all. depend on buying
power of the people. If labor is fully
employed, demand for goods is going
to be as great as ever. Buying, in
fact, will be accelerated with approach
of the holidays.
eve are now assured of bumper
crops Corn alone will have a value
of close to $4,O0O,000,oO0. Our ex-
ports continue heavy. Europe needs
our surplus coal, steel, etc. All
branches of industry, with few excep-
tions, are operating as much capacity
as labor conditions permit. Steel in
dustry has not operated more than an
average of Is per cent capacity since
the armistice, due to local strikes and
freight congestion. This deficiency
will have to be made up, but suffi-
cient labor cannot be obtained to per-
nit full operations.
"a few days ago l asked whole
saler to show some samples of wool
tapestry. The merchant apologized
for the poor assortment. He eX-
planned he had but six pieces remain
ing out of more than 100 earlier in
the year. He, like hundreds of other
merchants, is waiting for prices to
come down. The manufacturer is
producing nothing to speak of be-
cause he is receiving no orders, and
a large percentage of the business on
the books has been cancelled.
"You do not have to go far to find
the real reasons for high prices. Ask
the merchant doing business in active
industrial districts where wages are
high. The working man is buying the
best cuts of beef, the highest grade of
canned goods, high priced clothing,
silk shirts, etc. In some cases entire
| families are employed in mills and
| factories. The head of one family
| in western Pennsylvania told me the
total daily wages of five members of
/ his family employed in the steel mills
was close to $40. This family lives
| in a good house with bath that rents
for $50 month.
Future course of commodity prices
will depend entirely on supply and
demand. If wages continue high and
there is no idleness, a readjustment
in my opinion, is a long way off. John
Smith and John Jones, working in the
mills, drawing SO to $40 day each;
plasterers and bTicklayers getting
around $40 day, and the illiteratt
foreigner who can command as mucl
as Sc day, are not losing sleep owe
high cost of living. They are pro
ducing SO per cent less than before
the war, when wages we're so pc
cent below what they are today. The,
are keeping prices up by ignorance O
the simplest laws of economy, ant
their inclination to do as little worl
as possible"
