CUSTOM OFFICE REPORTS
GAINS IN LAST SIX MONTHS

Reports in the customs offices of
Arizona for the last six months of
1922 and the first six months of this
year show an increase in, business
done amounting to more than 100 per
cent, according to Fl. r. Berner, as
sistant customs collector of the dis
tTict Of Arizona. Bearing large part
of this increased prosperity was the
Naco office.
Considerable new development is
now being made in Sonora and the
west coast of Mexico-Arizona's field
with a record-breaking quantity Of
agricultural products crossing into the
United States.
A total of more than $500,000 was
reached in collections at the Arizona
ports of entry in the year, an amount
more than double that Of any prev
ious year. No great transfer of mine
products occurred in this period, but
the coming twelvemonth is expected to
see this branch of industry contribut-
ing largely to the whole for the fiscal
year of 1923-24, foreseen by the Gus
toms service as the greatest in his
tory.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

Comment in the Boston wool market
regarding the lightweight opening of
the American Woolen company indi-
Gates that the market has been sta
bilized as to both wool and goods.
Some recent wool sales have been be-
low current asking prices, but such de-
clines are not entirely conclusive, as
hitherto actual sales have been lack
ing It is believed that the new goods
can be profitably made on the pres
ent basis of wool values. The problem
to be solved is whether goods buyers
will respond favorably to the advanc-
ed prices. Though some are calling
attention to the fact that the advances
are small when compared with jan
uary prices for similar goods, most
observers go back to last years OPP
enings for their comparisons, and
There is little of the talk heard at re-
cent openings. of the American having
made prices too low for competitors
to follow. In the wool trade, at least,
and possibly the feeling in manufac-
turing circles is reflected pretty ac-
curately there, it is thought that the
new prices are fair. 1t is also be-
lieyed that the large stocks of cheap
wools, which have been the bugbear
of the wool trade for months, are
practically out of manufacturers
hands. In fact, while most manufac-
turers, are claiming that they have
sufficient wool to run out their heavy
weights, they have accumulated little
wool against lipht-waioht orders
More wool is selling in the Boston
market, especially since the openings,
but the trade is not particularly en-
thusiastic over either volume or prices.
Conditions in the west are unchanged,
although large sale is reported from
San Angelo as of last week. A few
other clips have been bought for east
ern account, but most of the remain
ing woods are coming forward on con-
signment.

MAY FORM CATTLE STATE
MARKETING BUREAU

Announcement has been made by Fl.
NJ. Rice, secretary of the Arizona Cat
tie Growers association, that the ini-
tial steps toward forming marketing
association subsidiary to the Arizona
Cattle Growers association will be ta-
ken at a meeting to be held at Globe
Wednesday.
The meeting has been called by A.
G. Webb, vice. president of the assoc
citation, at this time in order for the
selling organization to get under way
in time to handle the sale Of cattle
this fall No pressure is to be
brought to bear on any member OF
the Arizona Cattle Growers associa-
ton to join the sales organization.
The proposition will be explained to
them and all who are interested viii
be given an opportunity to join.
The plan provides for the employ
ment Of a business manager and sales
agent who will handle the sales of all
cattle for members Of the organiza-
ton. Contracts are now being pre-
pared by officials Of the Arizona Cat
tie Growers association and will be
submitted to the catt1emen at the
Globe meeting.
With the initial signup, however
small it may be, the organization will
employ seller, and the new selling
organization of the state will be under
way. 1t will be the duty of this seller
to keep in touch with the state cat
tIemen regarding the kind and number
of cattle that each has to sell and
then find markets for their cattle.
BY having a man who is in close
touch with the various markets it is
thought that the cattlemen of the
state will be able to sell their cattle
for better prices than has been pos
sible under the old haphazard plan
where the cattlemen have been COM
PEELED to accept the best immediate
offer by reason of their inability to
keep in touch with the distributing
centers.
No attempt will be made to sign up
q certain per cent Of the growers or
even a majority Of them, before the
new organization begins to function,
it being the idea of those who arc
sponsoring the movement to convince
the cattlemen Of the state of the feas-
ibility of the plan by actually putting
it in operation.

AMERICAN LEGION is
STRONG FOR PACT

To the People of Arizona:
The American Legion, department
of Arizona, is concerned in every
movement for the up-building of the
state, the development of its re-
sources, and the enhancement Of the
prosperity of its citizens. Hence, the
Legion is deeply interested in the rat
ification without reservation and
compact. To this end a resolution was
unanimously adopted by the Legion in
convention at Flagstaff on June 13,
and again in executive session at
Prescott on July A, favoring and re-
questing the governor to call an ex-
ira session of the legislature at an
early date for the primary purpose Of
the ratification of the pact.
1t must be generally realized, as
the American Legion realizes, that
the ratification Of the Colorado river
compact by Arizona-the only state
which is withholding its approval-is
necessary before the development of
the rivers tremendous resources and
the controlling Of its destructive
floods will or can be inaugurated
either by the federal government, by
The state, or by private interests. This
understanding is based upon facts
which are available to all, and is sup
ported by the public utterances of
many thoroughly informed men Of
both political parties of state and
national prominence.
The American Legion, department
of Arizona, therefore confidently APP
peals to you to join in the effort TO
bring about this great achievement
We ask that you present this letter
TO the members or the directors OF
your organization to the end that each
earnest and patriotic citizen of the
state, concerned for its progress, may
take part in a campaign for the en-
hghtermeIt Of the people with respect
to the ratification of the pact and the
splendid benefits that would be deriv-
ell from it, and in the movement for
the securing of an extra session Of
the legislature for its unconditional
ratification.
The American Legion does not wish
to appear presumptuous in presenting
this matter Tor your consideration, but
the subject is of such vital Importance
that We teei it would be wrong to re-
main inactive. We feel that an extra
session of the legislature would be ef-
fective to secure ratification. During
the regular session some members
The Coconino sun., 1923-08-03

had an impression that development
ct the river might be accomplished
without the ratification Of the COM
pact as originally presented. The
ccntTary is now we'll understood; the
PEOPLE Of the state without question
are fer ratification, and we believe
tlat the. Legislature viii register the
popular sentiment and the popular de-
nland. Therefore, it only remains for
u!s as citizens. to induce the governor
te exercise his constitutional power Of
ceiling the legislature IN special ses-
sion and Of urging its members to
add A1izona's approval to the pact.
For Your convenience we enclose
heiewitft a copy Of the Colorado river
compact
Very sincerely yours,

Commander; Neri Osborn, Jr., De-
