CO[FAX COUNTY
RANGES in Good Condition;
Industrial Conditions Have
Improved; to Build New
FIGURING Mill.
RATION.
(By the International state bahh
Of Raton.l

LEV tile $780,
OF Raton.)
The slowly rising tide or pros,
perity in Colfax county is indicated
through various lines of commerce
and industry. The advent OF dairy
showers. while spotty, have bright
ened considerably the hopeful pros
meet for a good agricultural year
4 general rain on Thursday Of TINS
week brought urgently needed re-
lief to the dry farming districts IN
the southern and southeastern
portions. The ranges In the noun
famous northern and western parts
are in good condition and are as
sured of the usual amount OF
moisture during the succeeding
weeks of July and August.
Industrial conditions have ma
terially improved since the first OF
June. Excessively heavy passenger
travel and a substantial increase in
freight movement have stimulated
railroad business to a capacity
point. The various coal camps
have awakened from their lethargy
of the past IS months of one to
three work days a week and are
now working full time. Retail
trade conditions have reflected
these gratifying improved condi-
lions, especially during the past
two weeks. While there are sew
eral uncertain factors making their
full continuation q matter which
it will take some little time to de-
termine, the reaction of the public
mind to these influences has been
remarkably healthy and inspires
a greatly increased faith in what
the coming months are going to
show forth.
The increasingly important hor-
ticultural districts of the county
will be able to determine within
the next two or three weeks how
extensive the damage has been
from the heavy frost in early May
and also from the several bad
hail storms which have visited the
fruit sections, especially in the vi
cinity of Cimarron. Fortunately
these hail areas are not extensive.
The livestock interests Of the
county should be greatly interested
In the meeting of the state execu-
tive board of the N. M. Cattle and
Horse Growers association that
will be held today, at 10 o'clock at
the public library auditorium In

taxation, predatory animal control
and forest service will make in
teresting reports on local condi.
tons. All stockmen are given a
cordial invitation to attend and to
give expression to their views or
any subjects of interest to the
business.
The latest advent among the
business enterprises Of the Gate
City Is a new FIGURING mill fol-
which the foundation is now be-
ing laid on a selected site opposite
the ice plant. Theodore Stoller, ar
experienced miller, has his ma.
chinery on the ground and expects
to be operating within ninety days
The success Of securing this new
enterprise is credited to the Ration
kiwanis club which has had the
project under Roadway for the past
several months. The new business
is to receive free mill site and
a $4,000 cash bonus on the condi.
ton that the mill is successfully
operated for a stated period. The
bonus has been raised.

CORN AND COIN

WITH a crop estimated at nearly three bil-
 w lion bushels which will bring in the neigh borhood of 60 cents bushel on the average this year, the corn growers of the country will have something more than pin money to spend. They will receive something over S1, ,750,OOOOOO for their crop. The democrats will hardly attempt to make an issue of that.
 Something over year ago the price of corn was so low that there was talk of using it for fuel in the west Before the passage of the emer' gency tariff we were importing considerable quan- titles of corn, most of it from Argentina. This, added to other conditions was having most de pressing effect on the corn market.
 The coming year is to be a feast year for our cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens, horses and mules Corn will put pep in the meat we eat; 1t will sweeten the bacon and put a yellow coat of fat on the chickens. It will add to the egg crop, en- rich the milk the butter and the cheese. It will strengthen the beast of burden and make more mellifuous the cOntralto of the mule. Human consumers of corn from the pone to the flake, will be benefited by the enormous crop about to be reaped. Verify, republcanism spells prosperity and corn is coin.

 Turn around and go back" ges- ticulatcd the cop.
 Will this cost me anything?" quer- jed the driver anxiously.
 "Uh, uh," denied the cop.
 The motorist turned, grinning. At First and Central he made another complete turn and drove back to the fire hose at Second, swirled in front of the policeman and back to First street This he did again and. again and again.
 Hey" protested the cop on the fifth round "Whaddy think you're doing?'
 Having some fun replied the driver "The last time I turned around on this corner it cost me SIS and I'm taking all I can get for nothing on this trip"

 The action marks the close of negotiations initiated by the United States to protect the rights of Americans in the, mandated territories As originally drawn, the mandates would have excluded Americans from participation in the de velopment of the resources of the former German colonies The allies proceeded on the theory that inasmuch as this country was not member of the league of nations which granted the man dates, it could have no interest in their terms Secretary Hughes prompt to explain that our rights were won in the war, and it was not within the power of any league of nations to take them from us

BLUE SKY" LEGISLATION NO GOOD,
 SAYS MINE PROMOTER

The Denison bill now before congress makes it unlawful to use the mail or other agency of interstate commerce to sell or deliver in any state, a stock certificate that cannot legally be dealt in under the laws of that state. So many states are enacting blue-sby" legislation that the question has been widely discussed. The pro moter of a mining company in letter to the editor of the Engineering and Mining Journal Press of New York believes that the law is bad He says: "I shall state that if the Denson bill had been a law while we were financing our property, we could not have succeeded. Under the Denison bill I could not have solicited my friends and acquaintances through the mail unless we had taken out a license in about forty states which would have cost the company about S4OOO0 and this would have been spent without the least assurance of ever getting dollar in return.
 No ordinary company, while in a state of formation, could stand such an outlay and delay in getting these various licenses We had licenses in two states, namely Illinois and Michigan but have sold stock in many states through the mail by personal letters to acquaintances and friends and not through any advertising campaign or circulation of literature. In one instance I sold $300OO worth of stock by writing one letter to a friend of mine in California You can readily see how the Denison bill would have prevented this and the result would have been another mining failure and a lot of innocent people would have lost their money.
 T can furthermore state that, in my humble opinion, most, if not all of the so-caed, state blue sky laws are no good; they do not accom- psh what they are intended to, but they do prevent honest clean and legitimate mining pro motion. l believe in the course of time that they will detsroy the mining industry, and unless changed, some day the people will wake up and find mining almost dead-nO more metal"

MILLER VALLEY
 TO GET BRIDGE
Journal-Miner Champions Cause of Residents of Northwest of City and Supervisors and Commission Agee to Build.

Miller valley is to have new bridge.
 In complete accord with the opin- ions expressed in a Journa1-Miner editorial of July 30, the full mem bership of the board of supervisors accompanied Engineer Joe Mccarthy Ito the bridge yesterday, and after studying the situation, decided to re- place the rickety old structure with one that will be a credit to Prescott and Yavapai county.
 The danger to traffic and the
 general unsightliness of the old
 bridge were brought to the atten-
 ton of the people and the super
 visors by the Journal-Miner 10 days
 ago. The complaint was based on
 feeling that has grown up in Pres
 colt and Miller valley, but which
 had never received public ,expres-
 sion until this paper took the mat
 ter up.
 The new bridge, much wider than the present one, founded on broad cement piers that are in turn set on the living granite, will not only make a more comedy approach to Prescott from the northwest, but will render safe the heavy traffic that is. now using the road. This outlet serves two great communities, both of which are expanding. In a short time the county will open its new road to Seligman by way of Simmons, where a new bridge is going up over Mint Wash. The county is also building a good road to Iron Springs in ac- cordance with the promise of the 
 On the very day that the bridge matter was first called to the public's there was a serious traffic accident in Miller lane, resulting in the painful injury of 14-year-old Dor othy Pickerill.
 Supervisor C. C. Stukey said yes terday that the county was prepar- ing to erect two large signs, one near the Milley Valley school, and the other at this end of Miller Lane, inviting the attention of motorists to a new regulation, reducing the speed limit for automobiles along the artery to Is miles an hour and setting up a penalty of $50 fine for violation. The signs will be large and unmistakable both in visibility and import.
 Joe Mccarthy was loath to con ,iGer erecting a wooden bridge over Miller wash. He said "While we are ioing it, let's do it right" He favor d a concrete bridge that will be ,apable of being shortened from the present 56 to about 30 feet.
 The highway commission will pro tide the funds for the bridge out Of he Iron Springs-Skull Valley road ponds, and the county will grade up he approaches.
 The new bridge will be on a | traight line with the road, instead | ,f the inconvenient angle of the present. structure.
 The people of both Milley valley nd Prescott will appreciate the add d convenience and security of the lew bridge.
