who in most respects are the most
effective in the world, can have any
dread of competition when they view
the fact that their country has come
through the great struggle of the last
few years relatively speaking, un-
touched, while their principal COM
petitors are in varying degrees sadly
stricken and laboring under adverse
conditions fro mwhich they will not
recover for many years. Changes of
a very radical character lave taken
place. The United States has become
a great creditor nation. She has
lent certain governments of Europe
more than $4,000, 000. 900, and as a
result of the enormous excess Of our
exports there is an additional COM
mercial Indebtedness of foreign ma
tons to our own of perhaps. not less
than A,000,000,0 900. There are only
three ways in which Europe can meet
her part of her Indebtedness, namely,
by the establishment OF private
credits. by the shipment Of gold or
Of commodities. 1t is difficult for
Europe to discover the requisite se-
curitfes az a basis for the necesaary
credits. Europe is not in a position
at the present time to send us the
amount Of gold which would be need.

large imports of gold into this coun-

UNUSUAL SITUATION
 IN SANTA CRUZ SUIT

A case brought to the supreme court yesterday shows that some times justice miscarries and that miscarriage under the law may be unavoidable. That seemed to be the view of the trial judge in ruling upon a point raised and from which the appeal was taken. The case is John M. Wilson, appellant, against Nellie Sullivan, appellee, Santa Cruz county.
 This was an action brought by the appellee to have declared community property certain property claimed by ment with his wife. The plaintiff was the daughter of Wilson's wife They jointly owned a certain piece of property in Nogales, acquired during their married life. Another piece of property was presented to Mrs. Will son by her uncle. This property was improved by the defendant at a cost of about s350o.
 Sometime before the death of his wife an agreement was entered into by which Wilson on account of the improvements he had made upon the property which had come to her as a gift. was to have the other property as his separate property. The trial court was satisfied as to the fact of such an agreement hut there stood in the way the statute which requires that conveyances must be in writing, properly attested.
 The Arizona law does not define conveyance so that recourse must be had to the common law definition which means the transfer of real es- state So a verbal understanding could not be a conveyance.

expected to happen if the ordinary construction had been followed.
 Follow Contour of Land
 The engineering department of the commission decided in the plans to follow the contour of the country; to keep the roads at the same level as that of the adjacent lands. Where the lands were low-lying the road was to be low-lying. There was to be as nearly as possible an absence of grading. It was due to the fact that this plan was followed that the roads were saved on Sunday night.
 A tour of inspection of the paved roads in the Cave Creek flood zone was made yesterday afternoon by Chairman A. F. Jones, Members Pet erson and Hurley and Chief En- gineer Perkins, accompanied by re- porter for The Republican. The tour was started over the Buckeye road, the latest to be uncovered, and from which all the dirt had not been re- moved until it was swept away by the flood. But the flood or the beat ing rain before the flood waters ap- peared, had planed the shoulders down to the level of the concrete shoulders. Though at many points the flood had swept across the road with great velocity as was shown by the nearby torn and guttered ditch banks, at no point on the low level was there the slightest washing away of the earth shoulders.
 Where there were slight rises at culverts over high ditches the earth shoulder was cut down, seldom. though, to the bottom of the nine inch concrete shoulder. At one point on this project the earth had been cut away under the concrete to the width of a few inches. That was at a culvert crossing. That occurred at a place where the head-wall Of the culvert had been torn away, prob ably by a previous flood. But the subgrade at that point was found to be solid so that this place may be repaired by the tamping in of earth.
 North and South Hardest Hit
 The north and south roads were subjected to the severest test. There were places where the strong current of the flood ripped the earth away along the side of the concrete, some times disclosing the bottom of the concrete shoulder, but seldom pene-

.FIGHT TING HARD FUR
 PIMA COTTON TARIFF

A night letter received yesterday by the chamber of commerce from Dwight B. Heard at Washineton stated that the situation relative to securing a tariff for long staple cot ton was improving. The compression al delegation, said Mir Heard. was a unit in effective work and that the work of Sims Ely and w. H. Knox was very helpful.
 Said the letter: q believe. owing to the justice of our cause, we have fighting chance to obtain protection for Pima cotton. The various de- partments of the government are giv- ing me all possible assistance in pre- pairing essential data.
 Tt now seems probable that at the close of this week the finance com mittee will substitute the taxation measure for the tariff bill If this is done there is very little proba ability that the cotton schedule will be taken up for five or six weeks. In my judgment we will be helped rather than hurt by the delay. I am shocked to learn of the Cave Creek flood"
