there were apprehensions that extrem-
lists on both sides of the bitter contro-
versy in Erin would be hard to con-
troll. Yesterdays rioting / n Belfast,
during which at least is persons were
killed and nearly 100 injured. aroused
grave fears over Incidents which
might happen tomorrow, the anniver.
sary OF the battle of the Boyne.
1t appeared today hat conversations
between MIR. De Valera and the prime
minister would revolve around the
granting OF dominion status to Ire.
land upon condition that the Sin Fein
demand for the establishment Of IN
Irish republic would be abanL-nd ID.
There were other serious questions TO
be debated. however, among them be-
ing the boycott of Ulster by south
Ireland. which has brougnt serious
difficulties to the people of Ulster.
There was a disposition to believe,
however. that once the conference was
under way. some means of smoothing
out present difficulties would be
found.
Confidence is expressed that the
Irish Republican army will obey the
orders OF its leaders for the cessation
of hostilities.
The greatest optimism over the
prospects for a settlement continued
to prevail today in naeriy nll quar-
tiers.

WHAT MADE WILDCAT
 CURRENCY WILD

"On December 23, 1S16," writes Breckenridge Jones, president of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company there was approved by the Missouri legislature 'an act to encourage the killing of wolves, partners and wild cats It authorized a reward of S2 for killing wolf or a panther and 50 cents for killing wildcat, to be paid out of the treasury of the county in which the animal was killed. A justice of the peace was to destroy the scalps and issue a certificate on the county treasury for the same. The form for the certificate was pre- scribed and said, the treasurer of the county is hereby directed to pay the same to bearer,' and was made le- gal tender for any county taxes and should be so received by the sheriff. These wildcat certificates came to be used as currency and led to the name of wildcat being given to other kinds of currency that were not redeemable in specie, and being specially applied to the bills of the noR-specie paying banks in the adjoining territories.

LUMBER PRODUCTION IN
 SOUTHWEST FOR 1920,

The mills of New Mexico and Ari- zona in 1920 produced 228,772,0OO board feet of lumber according to figures just compiled by the Forest Service in cooperation with the Ma tional Lumber Manufacturing Assoc iation. This cut was produced by 102 mills. Eight mills in the region were inactive throughout the year. Of the no mills, S are in New Mexico and 31 in Arizona.
 The cut for the year is: Arizona 121, ,160,000 board feet; New Mexico 107612,000 board feet.
 The cut for 1920 is considerably greater than that for either 1917 or 1918. The cut for both states in 1917 was 172,000,000 feet and in 1918, 169,0O0,000 feet.
 The class 5 mills (mills cutting 1O,000,000 feet and over) cut most of the lumber of the two states. Five mills of this class in New Mexico cut 73% of the total for that state and five mills in Arizona cut 959o of that states output.
 Western Yellow Pine contributed 9S9t of the total cut of lumber in the Southwest last year, the other two per cent being made up of Douglas fir and White fir and few minor species.

PHOENIX EVENING NEWS
 SUSPENDS PUBLICATION.

Permission to sell stock to the pub lie should not be given to irresponsi- ble parties whether they are news paper promoters or wild cat fakirs. Stock sold should be based upon some thing more than wild idea of selfish desire.
 Peddling stock in something that has no existence should be prohibited by the corporation commission.
 During the past three months ped dlers have been selling stock in the Evening News, an idea without sub stance. Through loan of shirttailful of type and an old press, the property of a Mesa bank with the cashier of the National Bank of Arizona as an intermediary, little paper was start ed March 31, three weeks after the death and burial of the Southside Union.
 The Evening News died from mal- nutrition, Friday night, May 6, leav- ing a number of writers, reporters, printers, pressmen, and carrier boys to hold the sack. The ghost ceased to perambulate.
 Various lawyers have been besieg- ed to bring suit but there seems to be nothing tangible against which to op- crate unless it is the corporation com mission and the two banks that helped to blk the public.
 Many people subscribed for the little paper and about 20 routes were part ially established.
 Reports were published and circu lated, orally, that a good plant had been bought and that it was en route This held those who were working for wages, it also fooled some who con- tinued to buy stock.
 The thing was operating at an ex- pense of about s125 per day with in- come of from SIP to S15, aside from petty stock sales.
 It was a great fiasco, aided and abetted by those citizens so eloquent ly described last fall by Prof. Pratt, candidate for Supt. of schools for Maricopa county.
 Maybe Phoenix needs a democratic daily to fight with the Gazette and to run the Arizona Labor Journal, Dunbar's Magazine, out of the field. Those who thought SO have had their fling. It is the worst fiasco pulled off here, not excluding the paper started several years ago by Sam Small who quit when the saloon men gave him getaway money.-Phoenix Messenger.

JOHN D. GUTHRIE FOR
 EST PUBLICITY MAN.

John D. Guthrie, formerly forest supervisor here, is now in charge of the publicity work for the district of Oregon and is making an enviable reputation for himself in the Forest Service, for the good stuff he is send ing out.
 His work is that of mainly educat- ing the public in the use of the na- tional forests as piaygrounds as well as the use and protection of the for est lands from fires. It is a great work and it is pleasing to note that his method of approach is not that of the unsophisticated school boy, which publicity propaganda used to make the old timers sore at inferentially being accused of so much ignorance of the ways of the west after having lived here few generations. The old tim CT is always glad to learn and help in the big work, but when some of the bows insisted that it was the right thing to tie your stirrups and turn a horse around with a monkey wrench. they sorter felt peeved at that sort of information.

EHRENBERC, OLDEST MINING TOWN, DESERTED

A few unevenly cIumpled adobe walls, long since having lost the su- perstructures that bridged them over and made them habitable homes, are all that today remains of Ehrenberg, the historical old settlement opposite here on the Arizona side of the Colo rado river
 Ehrenberg, fifty years ago, was 8 "wild and woolly" mining town, and in it's day contributed more than $17, 7,000,000 from its La Paz mine, alone, to the gold supply of the nation.
 Visited by Tourists
 Its population of more than 5000 is scattered through the west, many of them residents of Blythe, Cal, Yuma, Ariz., and other southwestern centers. Its only visitors are occas- ional tourists who inquisitively browse among it's deserted ruins, sprawled over barren, sage-brush country.
 Ehrenberg, founded in 1870, ended it's active and colorful days of min ing and gambling in 1882, when the Indian settlements along the banks of the Colorado became restless. In that year, there were Indian wars and af- ter a number of -Ehrenbergers were killed, the citizens began an exodus. In 1883, most of the business pop ulation had moved, and several years later, when Blythe was growing up on this side of the river, augmented by former residents of the old mining town, the only businesses" in the town remaining were three saloons.
 When Arizona went dry, these closed. The proprietors moved to Blythe. The town, springing into prosperity quickly, died suddenly.
 Ehrenberg's chief output was gold; very little copper and no silver, com mercially, were produced. It was in the heart of rich metal district. Fortunes were made in and around the town, and recently uncovered parts of roulette paraphernalia attest that fragments of these fortunes probably were exchanged again and again in play.
