"BENGUELA RAILWAY AND AFRl-
CAN COPPER"

Phoenix. Sept. 21.-For the
information of newspaper editors
of Arizona. Montana. Nevada
and Utah, Governor Hunt is
mailing copies of the article on
the "Benguela Railway and AT
rican Copper" which appeared
in this months issue of Fortune
magazine. The governor is ask
ing that the story in Fortune be
read as it treats of a subject of
vital Importance to the copper
mining states of the union. He
decribes the article as interest
ina and enlightening and ex
plains that it is through the
courteous permission of the pub
fishers of Fortune that he is
able to make distribution of the
story.
The article explains how the
copper mines of the Belgian
Congo and British Rhohesia are
brought 5000 miles nearer the
worlds markets by the compile
ton of the 100000 Benguela
railway from the heart of Africa's
richest copper deposits 20 the
Atlantic coast.
OF immediate interest to Amer
lean producers of copper the
article states:
Under the threat of immense
African production at low cost.
exclusively United States pro
ducers predict that African cop
per will force the shutdown of
a majority of United States cop
per mines. Such states as Ari
zona. Montana, Nevada aud Utah,
will have on their hands dying
industry, with widespread 10
employment and want. And the
only solution they see today is a
stiff tariff on copper"
African production presents a
particularly serious problem,
Fortune points out, coming at
time when copper mines in the
Uoited States are curtailing
drastically in the face of an al
ready demoralized copper mar
ket. The development of new
field potentially capable Of sup
plying one-third of the present
world demand for copper. at
prices too low for most American
mines to meet.
African deposits run from
about two to FIVE times the rich
ness of those in this country" !"
Fortune continues. adding that
Africa's peculiar institution of
labor" is also advantageous to
the African producer. african
labor is not exactly slave labor,
but it does not remotely resem
BILE anything existing this side
of the Atlantic" Though some
Rhodesian operators maintain
that it would be cheaper to pay
American wages for American
efficiency. the fact remains that
the native miner is paid only
from 81. so to So so per month.
aud, though the company also
feeds him, his food probably does
not cost more than Sc monthly.
There is little forced labor. >"
Fortune admits, but agents
readily bribe the native chiefs to
sign labor contracts and the
Bantu himself is often willing to
volunteer when the agent dis
tributes beads, blankets or other
triaes."

i. S. JOINS STATES
IN DROUGHT RELIEF
Survey Started in Areas Hit
by Insects and Dryness.
$15,0O0,OO Available.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
State and Federal forces were close
ly associated yesterday in efforts to
extend relief in Northwestern and
Central States where drought and
hungry hordes of grasshoppers have
taken a costly toll.
At the direction of President Hoo
yer, a survey was in progress to de-
termine the extent of damage and the
need of Government funds for the pur-
chase of live stock feed and control Of
the insect invasion.
The assistance the Governors of
Montana. North and South Dakota,
Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota in the
survey was enlisted today by the Agri-
culture Department.
About $I5,OOO,O 900 Available.
1t is to be completed within a week
or 10 days. and then department OFF,

in more than 20 States is available for
loans in the present emergency.
A request for loans was received from
the State of Washington today. Lack
of rainfall has caused some damage
and hardship there. The department
directed a similar survey in that State
by county agents.
Drought throughout the Northwest
has caused serious losses to Spring
wheat and other grain. North Dakota
and Montana have been particularly
hard hit. This whole area has been de-
ficient in rainfall for several years.
Insects Result Of Drought.
Grasshoppers, appearing in large
numbers throughout the country as a
result of the 1880 drought. have devas-
tated thousands of square miles in
South Dakota. Minnesota, Iowa and
Nebraska. Need for money to combat
them is said to be acute, especially If
similar outbreak next year is to be
aVerted.
Recent rains in Montana, North and
South Dakota have brought consider
able cheer to department officials. They
believe frequent showers will restore
pasturage and make immediate loans
for livestock feed unnecessary.
The text Of the kilograms to the Gov
errors follows:
Directors of extension your State

The president of Hugo Herfurth, jr.,

riddle in house-wrecking circles.
The problem that Mr.. Herfurth has
to solve, If he should bother to write it

Somebody from the railroad sug-
gested that a stream of water turned
on the buildings might do away with
the offensive dust. The water was
turned on.
For the moment everybody was salts

about their work. Then a representa-
tive of the railroad hurried up to Mr..
Herfurth.

and the water was turned of.

Ill fortune logged the flight East

Civil aviation authorities were advised
that the flyers had made forced land
ing at Jietiegari, about $50 miles from
Kustanaisk, In the Cossack Autonomous
Republic, earlier in the day. Jietiegari
is about 100 miles short of Irkutsk
which was the goal the flyers had set
when they took of from here.
1000 Miles from Irkutsk.
Omsk is more than 500 miles north
east of Jietiegari. but still more than
1000 miles short Of Irkutsk.
They landed at Jietiegari at $3.50
am, Moscow time G2:3o am, Eastern
standard time), the message said. AL
though the details available were
sketchy, it was indicated the Americans
had landed on premises occupied by the
Metal and Gold Trust. Officials here
telsgraphed representatives of the Civil
Aviation Society in that vicinity to give
all possible assistance to the flyers.
The flyers left Moscow at $50 pm.
yesterday (9:20 am. Eastern standard
time). and intended to make only two
stops-at Irkutsk and KhabarovSk-be-
fore attempting nonstop hop across
the Sea of Okhotsk and the Boring Sea
to Nome, Alaska, from where they
planned to make nonstop flight to
New York.
The forced landing at Jietiegari. sub
sequent messages said, was due to bad
weather.
Plan One Hop to Chita.
The flyers were approximately 10
hours behind the time of the record
holding round-the- world aviators. Wiley
Post and Harold Gatty, when they left
Moscow.
The airmen hoped to make the dis
lance Of approximately 1,700 miles to
Chita in one long hop.
At the time of the take-off from Omsk
the flyers were 81 hours and 20 minutes
out Of New York, where they hoped to
arrive again in less than eight days and
Is hours required by Post and Gatty.
The fragmen airy advices received here
did not indicate eXactlv what caused the
flyers to descend at Jietiegari, which is
in the heart of the non-ferrous mining
section of the East Urals. but it was as
sumed northeast wind forced them far
southwark of their intended course.
Between the time they landed at Jie-
tiegari and their descent at Omsk there
Is gap in the reports to Moscow. but
the fact that they were able to take off
so soon again for Chita was taken to
indicate that neither the plane nor the
flyers suffered from the forced landing.
