Optimistic View
IRepubIIean A. p. Leased WIre1

COMPTROLLER -. -. -. -.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. - Indica-
tions that the turn Of the year is
being marked by a striking i'm
provement in the business and eco
nomic outlook" OF the country and
the world generally were discussed
tonight by Comptroller OF the Cur
rency Crissinger in a forecast for
1922.
There can be no doubt, he said,
that both the political and economic
indeA figures" are registering inn
proyement at this time when polit-
ical and economic conditions so in
timately interact."
Taking this wider view," he added,
Il feel that we may be justified in
regarding the outlook as altogether
reassuring and that the new year is
coming to us with guarantees that
justify the most optimistic fore
casts"
In the political domain, he de-
scribed as predominating favorable
factors the arms conference and the
apparently insured settlement Of the
controversy involving the relations
of Ireland to the United Kingdom"
Already, he declared, betterment in
the conditions of international ex-
change has taken place, adding that
mo better index of widespread busi-
ness conditions exists"
"In view OF these accomplish
ments," he continued, I'VE may an
ticipate confidently that 1922 will
take its place in history as one of
the landmarks in the record. Of hu-
man progress. Men have turned

their faces definitely in the right
direction; they have set their feet
in the paths TO restore security and
prosperity; they have fixed their
minds on the higher and better
things.
Already we begin to find evil
dence of the far-reaching impor-
tance of these accomplishments
Every indication Of favorable out
come in these great underlying con-
siderations has been practically si-
multaneously with distinct turn for
the better in the affairs OF business
and industry. The very promptness
with which the commercial commu-
nifty has thus responded, is the most
emphatic testimony to the readiness
and the eagerness of the business
world to shape its course toward re-
stored prosperity and resumption Of
the great peaceful activities of civ
ilization."

TELEGRAPH OFFICE
IS BUSY PLACE ON
YEARS FIRST DAY

The telegraph office on New Years S
eve was about the busiest place in
Phoenix. 1t grew buster as the
night advanced and the celebration
grew in poroprtion and along about
sunrise, according TO Edwin II. Allen,
the manager sit looked as il every
one in town had remembered some-
one he wanted to telegraph, and
rushed in at the eleventh hour to dc
it,"
There were more than 1900 tele-
grams sent out of Phoenix between
sunset and SUNRISE, and as many
more received. over the wires went
singing messages Of love and cheer,
messages of entreaty and supplica-
tion. messages of life and death. All
night long the counter was elbowed
by eager or anxious men and wom-
en-. either sending out telegram, or
inquiring If one mad been received.
Many of the messages were sent
rush for reply to the office, and the
sender then haunted the place until
the answer was received.
Wives remembered their husbands
with 'love and kisses, honey: and
husbands, remembering at the last
minute that wifey was at home alone,
hurried in with so many of his merry
companions to let wifey know that
he was so lonesome for YOU dear
est" Proposals were sent over the
wire, and acceptances received.
One convivial soul rushed in to tell
all New York that there's no snow
down here so we're trying to paint
the town red" and another was just
as insistent about telling San Fran
cisco that "it may be a desert, but
1t isn't dry" Little children sent
love to my daddy" who is a travel
ing man, and mothers were rernem-
bered at the last moment by sons
who had omitted sending that letter
home.
1--WE couldn't car our souls our
own while IL lasted" Mr.. Allen said
THANK goodness. it comes only once
a year."

Members Of Dali
Reach Dublin For
Today's Meeting
[Repub;lcan A. p. Leased Wlrel


BUBLIN, Jan. VIRTUALLY all the
members of the Dali Eiremanp had
arrived tonight .cr the resumption
Of the sessions tomorrow>to give fur
ther consideration to the peace treaty
with Great Britain.
As fal as could be gathered from
conversations with members tonight
the Christmas recess has not mate
rally altered the line up for and
against the treaty
1t had been supposed the campaign
in the country in favor of ratifica-
tion of the treaty supported by pro-
nouncements Of the Irish bishop and
by resoluti IS not only of public
representa- bodies but OF impor-
tant units in the Sin Fein organiza-
tion would have weakened the atti-
tude of some treaty opponents and
induce them to vote in its favor.
An estimate made by a political
leader gave So votes on each side
with four votes doubtful or absent
ionist."
A leader of the party favorable to
the treaty said to the Associated
Press today that he did not believe
that the vote of any of the men pre-
viously ranged against the treaty
would be turned in its favor; and that
the majority for the treaty, which
in any event must be small, must de-
pend on abstentions from voting
rather than on Transfer of votes.
Rumors of compromise and ac-
commodation, as well as a statement
that Eamonn de Valera had decided
to withdraw his alternative plan no
longer are credited here. Mr.. de Va
lera's original idea was to put for
ward his plant in the event OF re-
duction of the treaty, but his most
intimate counsellors say now that

RAIN CAN'T DAMPEN
SPIRIT OF REVIVAL

At the revival meeting at the First
Methodist cnurcn last night the rain
had eliminated a part Of the crowd,
but could not cut the enthusiasm.
The old fashioned testimony meet
ing was a reminder of the camp
meetings OF old times. The Epworth
league occupied the choir loft and
gave a real uplift to the meeting.
During the opening exercises many
revival gems were sung, being in
terspersed by the Conner specials:
"Life's Railway to Heaven" by Miss
Conner, and the Epworth choir, Il
Am Not Ashamed Of Jesus" by Mr..
and Mrs. Bell.
Particular attention is called to the
three special conferences at the
church at o'clock, followed by the
revival message. Also that tonight
will be father and son evening at the
meetings Fathers and sons will be
seated in the center tier Of the church
and will be tagged by the Epworth
league. Come out and see what is
doing.
The Rev. Mr.. Stavely brought his
message from the first chapter of the
First Epistle of John. Notice the
absolute certainty Of the testimony,
for Jdhn had seen, handled and test
ed the record In all its phases and
he speaks with authority. The blood
that flowed from the broken heart of
Christ cleanses from all sin. In this
alone is the cleansing efficacy of the
atonement. When man comes up
against the radiant purity of the
most high God he will forget his
own Wanted purity. Man must con-
fess his dependence and confess his
sins and shortcomings to get pardon.
If we will acknowledge our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive our
sins. If you would be saved, you
must let go and fall into the arms
of merciful God and trust to His
infinite love.
There will be a rousing meeting
every evening this week, rain or no
rain. II you are not there, you will
be missed, and you will miss showers
Of blessings. All are invited. All
are welcome.

Alaska's s Mineral
Production Shows
Decrease In 1921
LRspubllcan A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-Alaska's
mineral production during the year
1921, according to preliminary esti-
mates made public today by the geo.
logical survey, was valued at $16,-
100000 compared with $23,303,7
during the previous year. The de-
crease shown is accounted for by a
loss OF about $6,000,000 in the value
of copper mined, $57s,0OO loss in sill
yer, 100000 in lead. $155, 600 in plati-
mum, and $4,000 in petroleum An
increase of sbout 1880 was shown
in the production OF coal.
The practical completion of the
Alaska railroad, the report said, was
the most important event OF the year
to the territory mining industry. The
decrease in both copper production
and development was ascribed to the
low price of the metal.
