CONSIDER CHANGE
OF VALLEYS NAME

PHOENIX, Sept. 30-Acting on the
opinion among members that the
Salt River valley" is misnomer and
the Roosevelt valley" would be a
more fitting appelation for that sec
ton of Arizona, the Advertising club
Of Phoenix at its regular weekly
meeting today appointed L. A. Weiss
a committee Of one to ascertain what
steps are necessary 70 change the
name OF the valley.
In the September issue OF Brass
Tacks," the official Ad club publica-
ton, reasons for the ACCESSIBILITY Of
this change, include that the valley,
named the Roosevelt valley, would
convey an immediate connection with
the famous Roosevelt dam and cap
italize the information already spread
broadcast as TO how this great PRO
ject turned desert into a garden.
This name would likewise convey
an instant geographical location Of
or valley" says Brass Tacks,
whereas. our present dreary monde
plume designates nothing to the aver
age person who long since has forgot
ten his geography lessons
Discussion OF the relative values of
advertisements appearing in publica-
tons through the last week also was
taken up by the members of the Ad
club as regular weekly feature u
was agreed also that the meeting day
be changed from Wednesday to Thurs
day of each week. L. 4. Weiss was
selected as chairman of the next
meeting.

MORE ACTIVITY IN COPPER
MARKET is REPORTED

DOUGLAS. Sept. 29-There were
strengthening signs in the copper
market yesterday. according TO pri-
waite advices received on the L. ].
Overlook brokerage wire. The cop
pers showed the first signs Of initia-
tive on the bull side, the advices said,
the first OF them 10 start being Chino.
In Utah, Anaconda and Ray Consoli-
dated there was more activity than
for some time. Buying Of the COP
pers was not based on any fresh
trade news but rather was response
TO the widespread recommendation
from brokerage houses 10 90 into
these stocks for long pull.
Copper sales we're reported TO have
been made at - and SIS cents pound
Tor prcmp: shipment, the American
Brass company having purchased in
the neighborAood of 100000 pounds
at this Price and are in the market
for more.
Nearly all commission house letters
which are bullish on the market have
the coppers on their list. The corner
on the copper industry was evidently
turned early in the month and the
subsequent rise of 3-4 cents pound is
the first reflection of the diminution
Of the surplus which is going on as
the result of greatly curtailed output
and increased foreign buying, espe-
cially buying for German account.
The idea is that copper prices will
continue gradually to harden.
