condition from Blanding to the Ari-
zona line. When this end Of the road
is built, the entire remaining portion
will be across the Indian reservation
and for that reason will be 100 per
cent federal aid. / feel that the gov
ernment owes it to these Indians and
itself to see to it that they have a
good road through the central portion
Of their country, and that the only
reason it hasn't been improved is that
we haven't asked for it.
approximately $20000O.OO has
been spent on line from Shiprock to
Gallup, New Mexico, but because of
the nature of the ground over which
this road was built, it is yet in very
poor condition. The contour of the
country over which our proposed line
would run is such that road building
would be very easy and the nature of
the soil is such that road would be
easily maintained. In fact, it would
be one of the least expensive roads
per mile to construct that could be
found in this section Of the country.
81 wish to explain here that this is
not new line, but that it has been
travelled over ever since the first
settlements in this country. There
has always been a road from Bluff to
Flagstaff and even now it is very
passable route, but it is not in good

General business lines held a very
fair level during May, and while con-
ditions are still inclined to vary con-
siderably in different sections the
situation compares favorably with
and development have continued as
important factors in maintaining a
firm undertone, and the summer tour
ist season promises to be an ex-
cellent one.
Indications of an improved cotton
market this year, mainly due to
flood and storm damage in the south,
having been of some encouragement
in the agricultural districts, though it
is too early to forecast the ultimate
effect. Cotton and cantaloupes have
been held back by cool weather, but
both are in good shape, and move
ment of melons will start the latter
part of this month. Grain harvest is
going ahead satisfactorily.
Livestock has remained in good con-
dition, but ranges have deteriorated
as result of an unusually prolonged
period of high winds. Spring lamb
shipments brought good returns and

satisfactory. The mining situation,
however, is less favorable, as the
copper market declined three-eighths
to close the month at II 5-8 cents a
pound, and lead also weakened.
In new development lines the month
was featured by announcement that
a contract was being drawn up
between the Verde Irrigation district
and Salt River Valley Water Users
association for development of the
Paradise-Verde project of $4,000
acres or more, north of Phoenix, by
the latter organization. This will be
an important addition to the list of
new land projects under construction
in the state, headed by the Coolidge
dam and San Carlos which will irri-
gate 100000 acres in the Florence
Casa Grande Valley. Among other
projects, it. is expected the Lake
Pleasant dam which will irrigate the
$4,000 acre Beardsley-Ag Fria
district west of Phoenix will be fin
ished by fall.
Building construction has been very
active throughout the state, the total
for the first five months of this year

declines in the price Of copper and
lead. Copper closed the month at
IL 5-S cents three-eighths lower than
at the the end of April, and lead at
$50 appears to be the weak metal on
the market. Basically, copper at
least is in no worse position than for
some time past, as April witnessed
another reduction in refined stocks on
hand and export shipments have been
running well above the early part of
last year, while domestic consumption
has been only slightly lower.
One of the interesting developments
Of the month in Arizona was the
leasing of the Hlmbolt concentration
Of the Southwest Metals, company by
the Phelps-Dodge corporation, which
will change it from copper to lead.
This is expected to be of considerable
benefit to lead and lead-zinc proper
ties of Yavapai county. The Phelps
Dodge corporations new lead-zinc
concentration at Bisbee is finished, and
its new lead smelter at Douglas at
last reports was to be blown in in
August.
Development work over the state
has continued active, and number OF
smaller properties have installed new
equipment and added to existing
plants. The Big Jim Mines company
at Patagonia plans to double its mill
capacity, and in the Superior district
the Belmont Copper company has
acquired additional claims. Los
Angeles capital is reported to- have
entered the Crown King section with
several purchases.
Banking transactions for the month
on the whole showed improvement
over those for April and for May,
1926. Comparative Figures for the
larger cities of the state follow:

damage to the southern crop. Alfalfa
cutting is continuing, but prices have
remained unsatisfactory.
Livestock
Aided by excellent range conditions
during the spring, movement of early
lambs continued heavy in May. Ship
ments for the season are reported the
largest in several years, with 62,61
lambs going to the Kansas City mar
ket alone, in addition to 1928 ewes
and 1885 yearlings. Though some
what lower than in April, prices con-
tinued very fair, and while the wool
market has shown no Improvement,
latest adyices from Boston indicate
that turn for the better may be ex-
pected. Sheep are now being moved
to northern grazing grounds.
The fat cattle market declined dur
ing the month, as is usual at this time
of year, but sales have continued act
i've. Returns for feeder cattle have
been generally satisfactory and spring
movement apparently has been about
normal. Yearling steers are going
at from $50 to $38 a head, according
to latest reports Stock is in good
shape, and calves are plentiful.
After several months Of very good
conditions, ranges have begun to show
considerable deterioration, drying
rapidly under unusually high and
constant winds. Plenty of feed for
the time Of year is reported in most
sections, but the outlook is less
favorable than month ago and sum
mer rains will be of decided benefit.
Water supplies are still ample, how
ever.

Soviet Youngsters
 Play Movie Franks

Stalin, [. S. s. R. Sept. 2 P)- American detective and adventure films are immensely poular with Soviet youngsters. In Stalin queues of children form in front of the theater, often at o'clock in tn" morning, waiting to buy tickets. Native films, even such pictures as the "Warship Potemkin," which had a good run in Europe. apparently lack the allure Of the American product.
 The effect upon the youthful mind, however, disturbs Soviet off cials. Gangs of excited youngsters, emulating the pictured characters, are a terror to the inhabitants. Toy guns, sometimes too realistic, have found a ready sale, entailing an orgy of smashed windows and other ma terial damage. A favorite amuse- ment, traceable to the movie is the stretching of wires across foot walks

 Pouse, who disappeared Sunday after cashing an $500 salary youch- IT, left letters saying he would never Ue back and blaming politics for i'm .ncating him in a countrywide beer running protection ring.
 According to the government agents, the liquor ring controlled all protection on booze running in the county ant they charged the missing states attorney was head of the conspiracy Postmaster Steilen and the former sheriff were accus- d Of having been the collectors for the ring.

The Chicago operators union, against W which the lockout was directed, has been supported by the stage hands union which called a strike yester- day at the expiration of its old con- tracts.

BLACK HILLS SEEK
 'CAL' AS RESIDENT
President Admits He Has Been
 Given Equipment for Farm

Rapid City, S. D.. Sept LPl-The people Of the Black Hills want President Coolidge to come and live White House and he himself has ad- mitted that through their generosity he is fully equipped to become a south Dakota farmer.
 He was joking, Of course, when he referred in an informal speech at Nisland yesterday to the possibll fly of his cssaying the role of coun- try gentleman out here, but the folks who heard him picked up the sug- gcstion with such enthusiasm that it seemed as if they wanted him to be serious about it.
 If their presents are indicative, the Black Hills people are doing their share to make the president q farmer. For his birthday he was presented with horse. At Newell he was offered q 160 acre farm and at Nisland he was presented with a pair of pure bred sheep which caused him to remark that these round out just what l need to be- come a farmer in South Dakota"
 A week ago an unfounded report that Mir. Coolidge was negotiating for South Dakota ranch spread so rapidly that many prominent Ra- pid City residents swore it was true. To all of the invitations the presi- dent has replied with a smile and a remark about his Nerm ont home stead
 The presidents trip to Newell and Nisland yesterday wound up his nu- merous journeys to Black Hills cit ies. He has visited all but one or two of the more important cities. averaging a trip a week during his summer here. And, in his own words he has enjoyed it.
 "As I may not have another pub lie opportunity" he said, at his last scheduled public appearance in the Black Hills, T take this occasion to express to you the deep appreciation of myself and family for all the hos pitalty and many tokens of affection that have been accorded us. I as sure you that we will take back to Washington a memory of a very pleasant vacation.'
 The two informal speeches made by the president yesterday-the one at Nisland and another at Newell praising the progress made by the irrigation prOject-came as surprises because it has not been MT. Cool idge's custom to make impromptu remarks. Before coming into the Black Hills. informal addresses were rarity with him.
 The crowd at the Nisland fair warmed up to his half humorous, half serious talk in true western style, and gave a cheer when he spoke in appreciation of the kind nesses shown him here. An old rancher in a shining celluloid col lar, who shook hands with MT. Coolidge, said he had spoken to all of the presidents since Lincoln but never was happier than to welcome i one of them in my own country"
