The end of September discloses signs of Improvement in the business situation, and while for the most part they relate to seasonal conditions. some of the changes are indicative of a gradual restoration of the in dustrial equilibrium which is neces- sary to permanent prosperity.
 The shoe industry and the cotton and wooIen goods industries are now generally active. Raw cotton has ad- vanced in a little over a month from about II cents per pound to about 20 cents, and this has put strength into the goods market and encouraged buying.
 Cotton goods, however, have not advanced to correspond with raw cotton, and although the mills hay ing stocks of II and 12 cent raw ma terial on hand are able to work them come when they have to buy cotton Ut the new quotations and advance the price of goods accordingly. Retail merchants are vigorously op- posing advances in all textiles and insisting that lower pricse are neces- sary to create a good volume of trade. The situation is unsettled. with opinion spreading that costs must be reduced both in the manu- facture of cloth and in the garment trades.

 It has been recognized in well-in- formed quarters throughout the last two months that the price Of wheat between now and the next harvest depends largely upon the crops in Argentina and Australia two coun- tries which have their harvests in our winter season. Neither of these countries ship wheat to the United States. but their surplus competes with ours in Europe and the price or the surplus makes the prices every where In view of the prospect for light sowings in Russia this fall and nc surplus there next year, 1t would seem to be good policy to SOW a larger acreage of wheat in the United States this fall.
 It does not appear that the posi- tion of agriculture or any of the pri- mary industries has generally i'm proved during recent months. The cotton producers have gained by the increased value of their carry over; tobacco. and dairy products are bringing better prices, and wheat is on remunerative basis. but hogs have suffered heavy slump and are now with cattle and sheep down to about pre-war prices.

There appears to be every pos slbility that the work of grading the site for the crushing plant, which will be in charge of Steam Shower Superintendent F.. E. Vanderhoes. will be followed by a resumption of active steam shovel work at the tire.
 "1 do not believe that the people of the district realize the numher Of men that are actually on the paN rolls at this time" said Assistant General Manager Tally this morning. "NVo have about 275 men working in the mine and on surface construction an ose to 200 Ut the shelter The -rI f- ing Of the crushing and storage plt will not be a heavy job, but it will put a number of additional men as work and the building of the plant will commence at the very earliest moment. : hope that this part of our program will he well under way in- side of three weeks
 The building of the new plant will require at least two years and will involve an expenditure of over S'.OOO,O0O. In addition to the crush ing plant proper. the new structure will be equipped with more storas,. capacity than We have used hereto fore. Work on the Cottrell plant is proceeding steadily and excellent progress is being made The smelter plant has been completely overhauled by Superintendent Taylor and his as sistants and it is not far from the truth to say that it could be nut in active operation on twenty-forr hours notice.
 We are doing a great amount of underground work at the mine. some. of it work that ordinarily would have been postponed for 2 considerable time, but we are doing it now in or der to keep as many of our old men on the payroll as possible and ,, fur nish as much employment as M can.

s.W. ASSOCIATION ID MEET IN SAFFORD
 NEXT MONTH

At the last meeting of The Safford Commercial Club an invitation was extended by the Club to The South western Good Roads Association. to hold their next meeting in Stafford, in Graham County, and committee was appointed to make arrangements
 Hon. ". S. Cox of Silver City is President of the Association and Burton Bunch of the same place is SecretaryETr reasurer. Several mem bers of the Association in Clifton have petitioned the President that the next meeting be called during the early part of November and that the meeting be held at Stafford in ac- cordance with the invitation from the Stafford Commercial Club.
 The Southwestern Good Roads As sociation was largely responsible for bringing about cooperative agreement between Grant county, New Mexico and Greenlee county and the State, for the construction of the Mule Creek Link between these two counties, work upon which is now ac- tually under way.
 At the meeting to be held in Saf- ford next month members of the As sociation will be in attendance from New Mexico and Arizona along what is known in New Mexico as The Black Range Scenic Route and the Arizona as The Apache Trail Route, linking the Elephant Butte Dam in New Mexico with the Roosevelt Dam in Arizona and on to Phoenix.
 This is the first meeting of the As sociation to be held in Stafford and the occasion will afford the opportu- nity of impressing upon our Graham county friends the importance of the interstate route from Silver City to Stafford. via Clifton, and the neces- sity of cooperation on the part of Graham county in the repair and up- keep of that portion of the Apache Trail Route lying within that coun- ty and connecting with the Greenlee county section.

10 CLOSE HOTELS WHERE EMPLOYES
 DISPENSE LIQUOR

That all hotels in which either the the illegal dispensation of liquor in any form are to be closed for one year under the federal act prohibit ing nuisances, is the latest move of the state prohibition director, Mich ael Cassidy, against the violatOrs of the national prohibition act in Ari- Zona. Orders to set this part of the machinery of the law in action against those engaged in illegal traf- fic in intOxicants were received by Director Cassidy, and he announced immediately his determination to carry them into effect
 Under the instructions of R. A. Haynes, national prohibition com missioner, actions in equity are to be brought against hotel proprietors, managers and employees whose places of business are the scenes of the transportation of pint f1asks from hip pocket to hip pocket, and the penalties named in the nuisance sec ton of the federal laws are to be enacted.
 The letter from Haynes follows:
 'In view. of the increased number of violations of the national prohi- bition act by hotels, you are instruc- ted to call the attention of the man. agers of the hotels in your state to the action of the United States dis trict court for the western district of Missouri in the recent case of the United States against Mike Dafco and others
 Tn that case the United States dis trict attorney filed a bill in equity under section 22, of title II of the act, seeking to have declared a nuisance a hotel in which intoxicat- ing liquors were being sold.
 "The court granted final decree permanently enjcining defendants, their agents and servants from keep ing or selling intoxicating liquors in the premises described, and in grant ing such decree the court used the following language:
 '' The said defendants, their agents dlld servants, are hereby ehjoined and restrained from occupying or using in any maner any of the build ,ings located on said above described pIcHllSeo loi P0llou ol oiAO JoStA from this date or until further order from this court
 "In the future the management of hotels will be held strictly ac- countable for violations of this char acter. and the nuisance feature of the act will be invoked to the fullest extent, as in the above said case"

PhoeniX-Ralph H. Cameron, United States senator from Arizona, who was elected last fall against Senate Marcus A Smith, Democrat. after having received the Republican nom ination in contest in which he was opposed by E. s. Clark. is under an indictment by the federal grand jury for alleged violation of section t2H of the penal code, or perjury. rms information was revealed yesterday by an examination of the minute book of the federal court here, wnlch carried a notation of the return or the indictment by the grand jury and it's presentation to the federal court for the district of Arizona. The ln- dictment is dated June P, 1921.
 The entry in the minute book Of the federal court is as follows:
 "come now the grand jurors
 of the United States heretofore
 duly empaneed, sworn and
 charged at this term of court
 and return herewith their indict-
 ment against one Ralph H. Cam.
 eron, charging him. the said Ralph

 dictment is presented 10 1ne

 jury by their foreman and duly
 filed by the clerk under the num-
 ber c-133o (Phoenix)."
 Long Been Rumored
 Although speculation concerning the indictment has been rife in Phoe- nix and throughout the state for nearly four months. no definite know ledge of it was obtainable until yes terday. It was known. however. that the matter of the Indictment was in the hands of Attorney General Daugh ertv at Washington, to whom a copy of the indictment had been sent in accordance with the rules of proceed ure of the United States district court.
 According to the method Of pro cedure generally followed. accordins to officials of the court yesterday. an indictment returned by the grand jury against one who is outside the juris <lictfon of the co,rt-in this instance the state Of Arizona-must go through the hands of the attorney genera and tho arrest f the accused must

Delinquent Tax
 Suit Dismissed; Fau|tyySuII1lII1nIlolns 1I1Ill

+. On Monday of this week the blan- Ret delinquent tax case brought by County Attorney c. Hooker. for the collection of delinquent taxes, a suit which was required to be brought under the. statutes, was dismissed by Judge Laine. on motion of the Coun- ty Attorney.
 The motion to dismiss the blanket case against all delnquents was made following ruling by the court, on motion of B. V. Horton. represent ing the delinquent taxpayers, to quaSh the service of summons in the case.
 Both the County Attorney and At torney Horton argued the motion at length to the court, at the conclusion or which the Court ruled that the summons was defective, for the req son that 1t did not recite the fact that the action was brought for the recovery of delinquent taxes as pro vided by the statutes
 The above ruling. however. does not mean that the suit for delinquent taxes has been abandoned. The Coun- ty Attorney is now engaged in nl- ing individual suits against each and every delinquent taxpayer which it is said will entail a much greater expense to the delinquents. as the entire cost of the blanket suit would have been pro rated under the Ori- ginal summons, where as now, with individual suits being filed, the clerks filing fee, sheriff's fee, printing. etc. will be charged as costs against such delinquent, approximately the sum nf $20.00 additional for costs.

Tn Statu Quo Is Situation
 In District

For goodness sake. why don't some of these PheIps-Dodge- fellers say somethin' said an old timer this week This suspense is getting on bearable." lsa
 The remark of tn cold timer about expresses the sentiment of the dis trict-
 On the 4th day of October, 1921, the mining property formerly owned in this district by The Arizona Cop per Co. Ltd, passed into the hands of Phelps-Dodge Co, the formal rati- fication of the sale having taken place in Edinburgh, Scotland, on that date. Representing Phelps Dodge Co. at that meeting was Attorney Fleming, of the legal firm of Osborne & Go.
 It became known this week that MT. Fleming has returned to New York City and that Phelps Dodge officials and attorneys have been pusily engaged since with the legal and financial affairs of the big trans fer It will be recalled that under the terms of the sale Phelps Dodge Corporation took over all of the as sets and liabilities of the Arizona Copper Company Ltd. and it is the general opinion that until these in tricate legal and financial matters have been finally adjusted little at tention will be given to reorganiza- tfon of present operations in this dis trict.
 In the district the casual observer can notice no, change since the off cial announcement that the A c. property has passed into the hands of Phelps Dodge Corporation. The A c. Co., general office corps of off cials remains the same as it has since last June with Norman Carmichael in charge c. Go. employees are still being paid with Arizona Copper Go. checks.
 At Morenci the same condition pre- vails. Capt J. P Hodgson, General Manager of Phelps Dodge Corpora t;;ep Mnrarci. Branch, is at the head of the same organization he had pr1or to the sale. In brief, to all intents and purposes, there are two com- panies still operating in the district, notwithstanding the well known fact that the two are as one
 Naturally the all absorbing ques- tion locally is: Who is to be the General Manager of Phelps Dodge Corporation-Cl -Clifton-M Morenci Branch
 To that question there is no an swer forthcoming as yet. The opin- ion was expressed this week, however, that with the arrival of Walter Doug las. President of Phelps Dodge Cor poration. sometime in the near future an announcement on this subject would be forthcoming.
