WORTH Of RED
PACT DOUBTED
German Business Interests
Skeptical AS To Result
OF Trade Agreement

COLOGNE, Germany, June 1S.-Ger-
man business interests and the Ger.
man press are extremely sKeptical
about the value of the preliminary
trade agreement entered into with the
Russian Soviet republic by the Ger
man government and frankly declare
there is little reason to nope 70, i'm
mediate trade with Russia on any
considerable scale.
The fact that the Soviet Republic
still insists upon monopolizing all
import and export business and had
the preliminary trade agreement writ
ten with that object in view confuses
German business men, who profess
to be unable to comprehend the docu-
ment
While the Soviet Republic takes to
itself thefrights and functions of
business corporation, il also holds to
the wei Established international
principle that a government cannot
be sued, but endeavors to reassure
business men who desire to do busi-
ness with t by including in the pre-
liminary agreement u stipulation that
dealings between the Russian govern
ihChl dnu GtIAldD llTIuS ana lnulNl-
duals in Russia are to be controlled
by an al bitration court.
In discussing the agreement the
Cologne Gazette says: This is the.
first step toward REIMBURSEMENT of
business relations. the final step be-
ing still far in the future. Neverthe-
less, it is step forward and others
must necessarily follow. The new
agreement means that the two bust
ness delegation in Moscow and
Berlin - must be essentially enlarg-
ed and clother with more authority.
An urgent warning should be issued
against false hopes of great CONNER
cial advantage.
THE German business men who
put their faith in this agreement can
have no guarantee of personal or
property security, for the interpreta-
ion can be so distorted by the men,
tai gymnasts of the red republic as
% divert whilly it's purpose. There
IS insufficient security offered for
German life and property. which will
IN every instance be at the mercy of
Bolshevik commissars."

COCHISE VALLEYS OFFER MANY
: POSSIBILITIES FOR IRRIGATION
AND EXTENSIVE DEVEL OPMENT


The Development OF Cochise valleys
is of interest not only to this section
of the state but Arizona as a whole.
The fourth legislature in 1919 pro-
vided for special Investigations, to be
made of the water supply and irriga-
ton possibilities in the three great
valleys of Cochise county.
The largest item OF the appropria-
ton was for an experimental artesian
well in the San Simon valley, while
another item provided for diversion
dam IN the same valley and $1,000
was specified for more general in
ses.i auons in the three valleys of
the county.
All water supplies including the
artesian waters, have their origin in
the rainfall and run-off, and since
no run-off measurements had been
made in the San Simon valley, the
first effort was directed toward study
ing the run-off, both in the trough
of the valley and at the mouths of
the mountain canyons. Gaging sta
tons were installed on the San Simon
creek at San Simon and above the
Cienega, and at the mouths of Cave
East Turkey and Wood canyons.
Four reservoir sites have been sur
veyed, three in the trough of the val
ley and one in Round Valley. The
Round Valley site is situated between
Cave and East Turkey creeks and at
such an elevation that water from
both can BE diverted into it.
The a~tesfan area which extends
nearly to Bowie on the west and for
ten miles southeasterly from San
Simon has been developed extensive
ly Already. 1t has been studied the |
past year to determine the possible |
l,ties of further development. The
yields of wells and the artesian pres
sures have been measured and studied |
in their relation 90 the depth and !
types of construction. Cross-sections |
and piezometTic lines have been
drawn to determine the source and
movement of the artesian waters. In
iluences of various factors, such as !
shutting off the flow in winter, are
lnder investigation.
The possibilities of development of
ground water by pumping are being
'tudied.
Owing to the great extent Of arabic
and as compared with the water sup
'ly, soil survey has been made of
n extensive area reaching from
Bowie to Portal.
A site for the state experimental
rtesian well was selected. but owing
o the high prices prevailing for well
asing and well drilling il has been
impossible to contract the drilling of
he well for sum within the limit of
