Production of steel ingots in May was
at rate slightly exceeding 3S,00O,OOO

have been continuously upward. so that
the rate this week was probably not far
from 39,000,000 tons year, which COM
pares with rates of 35.000,000 tons on
April and 20,000.000 tons in December.
Mill owners do not seem to have much
doubt that they will be able to con-
tinue their operations indefinitely, ex-
cept for such decreases as almost in
variably occurs in July and August on
account of weather conditions.
While buyers have replenished their
stocks to some extent in the last three
months there are no indications that
they are overstocked or will produce a
soft market soon by liquidating. In
many cases the stocks accumulated
merely represent provision for filing

uncertainty obtains concerning the l'os-

American Woolen Company of price ad-

The trade regarded the action of the

weeks ago that further advances may
be expected in the immediate future.

Tuesday night at 7:30 of this week Henry Lovin and Ora R. Thompson were married at the home of the groom in Kingman, the ceremony be- ing performed by Rev. T. H. Dodd.
 Both Mr. Lovin and Mrs. Thomp- son are very well known in Mohave county. Mrs. Thompson, Q native of Louisiana, came here about five years ago and with her most pleasing per sonality has made many friends. For the past year she has been clerk of the board of supervisors.

 S1,250000, ARE REDEEMED

Redemption of the $1,25O,OOO issue of state anticipation bonds issued and sold last September by the state loan commission has been made by State Treasurer Raymond R. Earhart.

They were issued for four months. The re- demption of these bonds cleans up the tax anticipation bonds of the state. Three issues of bonds in all were is- sued by the state.

ENDORSES J. w. BROWN FOR JOB OF POST
 MASTER AT ST. JOHNS

U. S. Senator Ralph H. Cameron a few days ago sent the following let ter to Postmaster J. w. Brown:
 T have recommended your reap pOintment as postmaster and will se- cure confirmation very shortly. Con gratulations.-Ralph H. Cameron"
 MT. Brown has been postmaster here since February 25, 1918, at which time he was appointed as successor to C. Scheele, whose death left the office vacant. For several months follow ing Mr. Scheele's death, Chas. Jarvis was acting postmaster. He also died and the office passed to MT. Brown by official appointment. He moved the oftHe to its present quarters in the Whiting block and has made many Improvements.
 When a civil service examination was held early in the year, by order of the president, there were three candidates for the position, Mr. Brown, Mrs. Amelia H. Garcia and Fred Da- wis. Though Mir. Brown is a leading democrat, the plum has fallen to him, and we congratulate him. Senator Cameron has been known to do worse. St. Johns Observer.

REP. GARDNER GETS HIGH
 COMPLIMENT FROM 4 DEM.

About the highest compliment an old war horse of democracy like Major Kelly could pay republican he hands to Representative-elect A. H. Gardner of Cochise county, in the Douglas In- ternational under the caption of Watch Gardner" It shows conclus- ively that Major Kelly knows that ono republican is mentally capable of dis rupting a whole battalion of demo- cratS. He says:
 "Of course our friend, A. H. Gard ner, of Tombstone, as the most distin- guished republican elected to the house of representatives in the recent No vember election, will be the logical man for minority leader in the house. He will probably be chosen as the mi- nOrity candidate for speaker and we warn the democratic members to be on their guard against any effort on the part of Gardner to divide the majority into a sufficient number 0F factions to insure his election a. speaker. Gardner has been an adept at causing democratic inharmony in this county and by his adeptness he was able to win his election to the legislature in a democratic district.

NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST GATHERED FROM OVER THE STATE
WOULD TAX GASOLINE
 INSTEAD OF MACHINES

C. F.. Gentry, assessor for Yavaapi county, has been reelected secretary and treasurer of the Arizona Asses sors' association, which completed it's annual meeting in Phoenix last week, and was named chairman of the leg islative committee appointed to draft a bill to be placed before the state legislature at the coming session.
 The bill, if passed, will eliminate the state automobile license fee and substitute higher tax on gasoline. This measure was suggested by Jas. II. Kerby, secretary of state-eleCt, in an address to the conference.
 The conference at once voted to take action in the matter and ap- pointed Charles R. Howe, E. A. Hughes and Frank Luke, as members of the tax commission and James H.. Kerby as secretary of state, as mem bers of the committee to draft the bill.
 H. G. Boice, president of the Ari- ZOna Cattle Growers association; John D. Park of Gila county, and A. C.. Webb of Gila county were present at the conference and protested against the placing of a $20 minimum assess ed valuation on range cattle. They contended that a lower minimum than this should be made for the best in terests of the cattle industry of the state. They reviewed the situation of the industry in the state during the past year.
 A. A. Johns was present in the in- teTests of the sheep men of the state relative to the assessment of these an imals. Mr. Johns gave short tall; to the assessors concerning the sheep industry in the state and it's future outlook.
 Notwithstanding the protests of the cattlemen present, the assessors fixed $20 a head as the minimum assessed valuation of range cattle with a min imum valuation of $50 head on range bulls.
 They also fixed the minimum valu- ation on sheep at $5 a head with a minimum valuation of $15 head on rams.
 A. B. Ming of Yuma county was elected president, and C. E. Gentry of Prescott was reelected secretary of the association for the coming year

ARIZONA LIVE STOCK
 REPORT FOR NOVEMBER

That the drought conditions have been relieved and the outlook for ear ly spring feed on the ranges has been greatly improved by the recent rains, is a feature of the December live stock report, issued by the division of crop and livestock estimates of the U. s. department of agriculture in CO., operation with the Arizona Cattle Growers association. 1t is of partic- ular interest to note that the desert lambing grounds in the Salt River Valley were favored with excellent showers that will doubtless insure an abundance of spring feed for the large number of sheep that will be brought into that section.
 With the close of the fall shipping season, it is estimated that the mum Der of cattle shipped from the state this fall will be about 100000, which compares with I01 ,000 last year, and .112,000 two years ago. A large pro portion of this years shipment went to California. The number of cattle on feed December 1 is estimated at 40,000 head, of which about 37,000 were in the SalJ klNef FaIISy.
 The average condition of Arizona ranges on December 1 was so per cent of normal, compared with 70 per cent on November 1. The poorest cOndi- tions are reported from the eastern part of the state where the prospect is for continued improvement as a re- suit of the rains of the last of No vember and the first part of Decem- Der. County conditions on December 1 were reported as follows: Apache, 56; Navajo, Il; Coconino, S4; Yav- apai, 85; Mohave, 83; Maricopa, 90; Pinal, 65; Graham, GS; Gila, 68; Greenlee, 54; Yuma, 80; Santa Cruz 91; Pima, 90, and Cochisc, v.
 The condition of range cattle de- clined somewhat during November, the average on December 1 being reported at G2 per cent of normal, compared with 85 per cent on November 1. In the eastern counties where the dry weather prevailed until the last of , November, cattle are in poor flesh The condition of cattle by counties was reported as follows: Apache, S4; ! Navajo, 65; Coconino, 93; Yavapai, SS Mohavc, S6; Maricopa, 80; Pinal, 72} Gila, 6G; Graham, G6; GreenIee, 55i Yuma, 80; Pima, 97; Santa Cruz, 94 and Cochise, S3. The condition o1 sheep on December 1 was reported at 91 per cent.
 Prices on the range for feeders, as reported by Arizona cattle growers were from $2O to $25 for yearlinq steers, S25 to $35 for twos, and $3C to $45 for threes, the average price being about $22, $2S and $34 for ones twos, and threes respectively. Cows average about $26 per head, ant calves Gc per pound.

THE COLORADO DISPUTE
 AND THE WASTE OF TIME

As this paper predicted some time since, the Hoover pact drafted at Santa Fe is meeting with much active opposition not only in Arizona, but also in the other states affected. A general suspicion is being aroused and is steadily growing that neither Ari- zona nor ary of the other states af- fected needed this treaty" to secure and to preserve their rights in the flow of the stream.
 We appear to be wasting in argu- ment and criticism valuable time that had far better be devoted to develop ment. While the delegates from the several states are wrangling and while the legislatures are preparing to de- liberate, the Imperial valley is still in danger of destruction, the power re- sources of the river are flowing un- used to the gulf and the desert lands are still making their mute appeal for the vivifying water that alone can make them blossom into fertility.
 Two projects, both inside the terri tOrial limits of the state, are com Dletely financed and ready to go to work tomOrrOw--and both are held up indefinitely while the talk merchants wag their futile jaws. The Glen Can yon dam and that at Diamond Creek can go ahead at a moments notice. Much of the preliminary work has been done already and active opera tionS could be under way in a month if the technicalities concerning per mits and the like could be got around. The Glen Canyon structure, which has behind it a storage area that can hold the entire flow of the river for three years, would give immediate protec- ton to the endangered lands of the Imperial valley and would permit the building of all other dams lower down the stream under slack-water condi- tions. The dam at Diamond Creek would begin the delivery of power to consumers within two years and that at Glen Canyon would not be far be- hind it. Why should we te forced to wait indefinitely for the authorization to proceed with these great projects, neither of which is asking the state for anything but the privilege of pay ing taxes ?-Jcrome Copper News.
