Current Comment.

If you want to see 5, 900 popu-
lation in Wickenburg inside three
years, get yourself right with
the Arizona State Miner and
listen to it's advice about a clean
town and it's consolidation with
an irrigation district which will
make the terraced hills about
the old town the greatest horti-
cultural section of Arizona. If
you want to be a crustacean, go
to sleep like Rip Van Winkle.
Garland Smith, who was killed
Tuesday by a lawyer named Nor
ton at Prescott, has a host of
friends in Yavapai county, most
any one of whom will be ready
to shoot the eye out Of that law
yer on the slightest provocation.
Some wise-acre of the Hoover
type now urges Pres. Harding to
restrict the use of sugar in order
to force, the price down. The
housewives of America are get
ing tired of eating war bread
when some flour profteers get a
corner on wheat, or a few finn
Hammers want to make them eat
black strap and Caro- while
they store away all the sugar in
Cuba and the PHILIPPINES.
Wickenburg needs a first. class
hotel to start the ball rolling for
a new town. 1t wants business
men who advertise, instead of a
town crier footing a horn, like
they did in the 10th century. 1t
wants lower water rates (same
as are granted to the railroad
company for nearly $50 con-
sumers who pay nearly $400 for
what the railroad company pays
abeut $3.50. People who make
homes in Wickenburg should be
encouraged to make their homes
attractive instead of being dis
couraged by a water rate of 25c
a tree and 15c a shrub or rose
bush, every month.
This office has been notified to
sell for the owner about 40 town
lots inside the city limits, and in
a few days we are going to an
nounce an auction sale Of some
of them to the highest bidder
for cash, the requirement neces-
sary to bid on the lots to be a
paid-up subscription to the Ari-
zona State Miner.
For years the town of Wicken-
burg has allowed itself to be
turned down on a little piece of
sidewalk paving. At last the
job is to be done by the owner.
who can't longer resist the march
of progress.

Kind Words.

Yucaipa, Calf, April 30th.
Dear Mr.. Watson:--Please send
my paper here at Yucaipa. The

money. Thanks for the good

More Foreign Labor
Mine Congress
Request

Milwaukee, July 81 "a. P)-
Fewer restrictions on immigration to
meet an alleged need of additional
laborers in the mining industry will
be discussed by the American Mining
Congress to meet here September "a
90. Nearly 5000 owners, operators
and mining engineers are expected to
be in attendance.
Although mining men appreciate
the unwisdom of breaking down the
immigration barriers entirely, they
feel there should be no abridgement
of opportunity in the United States
for effective labor and for selecting
the right type of immigrant. &C
cording to officials of the organiza-
ton.
4 national movement for industrial
cooperation between employer and
employee in mining enterprises also
is to be launched here. Ways and
means of assisting employees in
maintaining proper standards of liv-
ing also will be discussed.
The United States bureau of mines
and the geological survey will
participate in the exposition and the
mining states of California, Colorado
and Utah will exhibit displays of
their mine resources and equipment.
Additional emphasis will be placed
on the use of labor saving machinery
and equipment in mining enterprises.
The American Mining Congress. Off
Gals say, has been advocating mod
erniZation of the mining industry
and the Standardization of basic
methods for the last three years.
