The Better Outlook
The Wells-Fargo National Bank of San Fran
i;so has just issued the most optimistic 'in J. most
leasonaLle statement on the business outlook that
we have yet seen. It begins at the beginning, with
i'ie thorough-going liquidation in business and
.-ecurities whit h loo place at the opening of the
war. Hy that, the country placed itself on rock
bottom. There na; naturally stagnation and de
pression, but the country had the advantage of
knowing precisely v here it stood. Any change in
its position would necessarily be upward. Since
then the ascent has been slow but steady.
The balance ol tiado in favor of this country
lor the tour months, including .March, was $5!it!,')0,
t'Uti, the previous high record for four months being
i:v, I.iMiit.iiiiii. Our exiMtrts were largely nvt.de tip of
Mipplies furnished belligerent countries, including
chiefly war materials, horses, etc.. commodities,
whose export would stop with the war. But there
will be a great volume of supplies which the coun
tiie.s now at var will have to buy of us long after
the restoration of peace. A great volume of our
foreign business has Iteen with neutral countries
which had hitherto derived most ol their supplies
liom Great Britain or Germany. The connections
we have thus established anil which we are still
establishing, should prove permanent.
oar foreit-n trade has left Europe in debt o
this country, though since the beginning of the
ear we have imported more gold than ever before
vitiiin the same period. The European governments
have negotiated loans in the United States amount
ing to $2'0.lMi,ooi) and are now seeking larger loans.
Another helpful factor is the decline of political
agitation anil the prospect of greater railroad anti
industrial activity throughout the country. The
i'liernplov ed problem is now less messing than it
was a few months ago. The surplus of idle men
has been greatly reduced by the increasing demand
of industries that are running at canacity to turn
ttot war orders. The confidence of the Country i;-'
lefiecte.l in the heavy purchases of stocks, evi
dence of a belief by the investors that we lave
"turned the corner;" that better times are ahead,
ami that whenever ifaie may come the rewird of
Iheir confidence will le repaid.
Says the ' statement :
"Peace talk is being indulged in everywhere,
although nothuipr has developed yet to justify the
llat statement that negotiations are actually in
pi-ogress. Should the fighting stop by next fall, the
pioliabilily is that business in this country would
be immediately quickened. The waste abroad has
been so great as to make it absolutely necessary for
Kurope to repair the damage dene with alt haste
atter the conflict etuis, or at least to do so as rap
idly as its depleted condition will pern.it. These
preparations must necessarily call for immense
lttieign purchases in the United States. The long
future, therefore, niust be judged with reference to
all the possibilities of this extraordinary year. The
United States is unquestionably 'the brightest spot
in the world," in a commercial sense, at least."
Advertising the Dam
The Southern Pacific is f ulfillir-tr its contract
with the eor.le of Phoenix and Globe in relation
to the highway between these towns via the Roose
velt Dam. We notice in the newspapers of New
York and elsewhere in the east a large and striking
sidvertisement of the "Opening of a New Wonder
land," the "Apache Trail" through Arizona, "120
miles of autoinobiling 'over the oldest highway in
America, through the Salt River Canyon to Roose
velt Dam, the cliff dwellings and the copper eamim."
A conspicuous feature of the advertisement is a two
column line-cut of the great dam, which is thus
receiving wider publicity than any other engineer
ing feat in the world. We mean that more people
are seeing the picture and are hearing about it and
i,ie having their interest enlisted in It.
The advertisement is preparing the populace to
bar something more of the dtin when the battles-hip
Arizona is christened, when the bow of the
essel will be spattered with water that has flowed
over the dam. In the meantime, the chamber of
commerce and the business men of the valley are
helping spread the story of the dam, so that by the
time the launching of the vessel takes place the
Moiy of the christening water will hoid a more pop
ular interest than the story of the battleship, and the
story of both will le the story of Arizona.
The Fruit and Vegetable Industry
A company has been formed lor the pubpose of
establishing a cannery in the valley for the handling
of various kinds of vegetables and fruits. This
ought to lead to a much more intensive cultivation
of the soil of the valley and the growing of the
most profitabel crops. The products would find not
only a market in the cannery, but such a volume of
products would be encouraged that "resh fruits and
vegetables would be Droeurable regularly by the
grocery and produce stores. The local supply would
t;uickly take the place of the fruits and vegetables
from California.
We have here 223,000 acres of Und which is too
rjch and ought to be too valuable for the purposes
to which most of r is now applied. The greater
part of this land is suitable for garden purposes.
Only a market for garden products has been want
ing. With that established, the farm holdings which
are being cut down from year to year would be
Mill more rapidly reduced, the population would be
greatly increased and we would have such a com
munity as exists nowhere else in this country.
As we have already pointed out, that growers
here have been unable to compete with the coast
growers of vegetables antl fruits, has been due to
a lack of organization and co-0eration and cnse
fiuently to the fact that there have not been enough
local growers to afford a regular supply to local
dealers who have had to look elsewhere for means
to meet the demands ol their customers.
It would take a iong time to establish a fruit
and vegetable-growing industry here without the
stimulus of a canning factory. It is usually, but
erroneously, understood that canneries are started
only to make use of the surplus products of a com
munity where the growing industry has already
been established. On the contrary, the canneries
are made to act as a stimulant to more fruit and
vegetable growing, and thereby a market is created
in the community for great quantities of fresh fruits
ami vegetables.
This new enterprise should receive the encour
agement of . not orly the farmers who would be
directly benefitted, but the encouragement of every
body in the community, for all will profit from i;
directly or indirectly.
Local Color
Whether or not th. plan of the legislative house
to gather information concerning the needs of the
Mate institutions which are seeking appropriations
will be endorsed bv the senate is uncertain. It ij
within the memory of many now living that the com
loiltees which used to lie sent out by the territorial
legislatures spent a great deal of money to no pur
pose. We remember that many of the committees
only casually observed the institutions they were
si.pixhied to visit and hurried on to Los Angeles
where the rest of a gay week was spent. We do not
think, however, that the committees which would
be appointed by the senate and the house would
make such a use of their time and the pul-lie money
or that the tours lhey would tike would deserve
the name of "Junketing trips."
An argument against the special co:nmittce plan
of inquiring into the needs of the state institutions
is that, in the short time necessarily allotted to the
work, nothing of value would be discovered; that
is, nothing th;i4 would not be unfolded by the re
ltorts of the heads of the institutions. Bui there is
one thing not taken into consideration by the ob
jectors and perhaps by none of the members of the
legislature, unless by the few who have been at
some time engaged in reportorial work on news
papers, and that is "local color." It i of an elusive
nature, difficult to describe, and it is acquired only
by the exercise of a kind of sixth sense or a com
bination of the senses of sight and hearing. It in
something that must be imparted directly. It can
not corre through an intermediary, whatever liU
power of description, or however viviJ the imagina
tion of the person to whom he attempts to de
scribe it.
PRESIDENT GARFIELD UNDERSTOOD THE
LAW OF ADVERTISING
The following interesting story aiiout President
Garfield is told in the May American Magazine:
"James R. Garfield, of Cleveland, son ol the
late President Garfield, told one of the editors of
the American Magazine the following story about
traveling in 1878 as a boy with bis father, who was
campaigning. One night, after a speech in Mich
igan, young Garfield said to his father: 'Why do
you repeat so much? Do you know that you said
the same things several times tonight? Do you
know that you said the same thing:! tonight that
you said this afternoon in Detroit?' General Gar
field made this reply: 'You happen to be an espe
cially interested party and notice these repetitions.
Others do not. I repeat the same statements delib
erately in order that people may finally get them.
Anyihlng that I want an audience to get and re
member I repeat several tinges in somewhat differ
ent form, perhaps. This practice I have developed
out of my experience which has shown me that peo
ple's attention is distracted in various ways and that
a first or a second statement may not really get to
thim. You must insist on an idea or fact if you
want to get anywhere with it.' "
SHE BLUSHED
Pretty Ruth Chatterton, although busy just now
winning smiles and tears at the Gaiety theater, .still
finds time for a good story:
" In a town in the west there is a church' that
has a bright young pastor, but the attendance is
unfortunately small. Among the parishioners there
is a beautiful young widow. One evening just as
the little wielow was about to leave the edifice, she
was addressed by the deacon.
"Good evening, sister," he cordially remarked,
with the usual handshake. "How did you 1'ke the
sermon this evening?"
"I think that it was just too perfectly lovely for
anything," was the enthusiastic reply of the widow.
"It was, indeed-!" heartily returned the deacon.
"I only wish that larger congregations would come
to hear him."
"So do I," declared the pretty little widow. "The
congregation was' so small tonight that every, time
the parson said 'dearly beloved' I positively relish
ed." May Young's Magazine.
PREFERRED THE OBSTRUCTION
John Findlay. of "The Only Girl" company,
proves anew1 that Gallic chivalry never fails. -
A charming girl was standing on a chair on the
pier watching the racing. On a chair behind were
two Frenchmen. She turned around and said: .
"I hope I don't obstruct your view?"
"Mademoiselle," quickly replied one, "I much
prefer the obstruction to the view." Young's Magazine.

7. A motion declaring women re

prevent it, and calling on them to

may be able to bring that influence

differing views on this question,
which injects the suffrage question
into the peace question.
S. A motion calling attention to
the sufferings of women brought
about by war will be "adopted.
Recently Miss Addams expressed
Ihese views:
"We do not expect to end the war.
We have not much hope that our
meeting will have this immediate ef
fect; but we do believe that, as
women, as mothers of men and of
soldiers, we are in i
without bias, and
for t!ie settlement
troubles.
"The present system of diplomacy
has failed; it lias plunged the world
into a war the like of which it. never
saw before. The peace congress is
called by no organization; it is a
spontaneous movement upon the part
of the women of all nations.
"The congress may have one of
three lesults: It may be dangerous,,
for -things may be said which should
not be said, and this is n thing that
must be guarded against. It may b
futile, but we hope it will not. And
it nay be productive of results far
reaching and permanent."
CENSORSHIP OE
(Continued from Page One)
that there was any abuse of the priv
ilege accorded rifle clubs to purchase
government arms, but the president
desired to be in a position of saying
that no arms in any amount and of
any description were being sold to
anyone, especially Krag rifles, as they
were being reserved for issue to gov
ernment rifle clubs under authority of
the recent law.
Since this law went into effect last
summer over 250 rifle clubs have been
organized throughout the country. X
particular section seems to lie leading
in this respect, although these clubs
are more successful in the west,
where it is easier to acquire anil
maintain clubs in the open. The lack
of ranges in the densely populated
eastern sections of the country is go
ing to materially retard the develop
ment of rifle shooting in the east, un
less the government should construct
ranges that can be used at 20n and
3i0 yards near the larger cities, after
the plans of protected ranges carired
out in Germany and other foreign
countries, which provide for the build
ing of shields to catch all shots which
would have missed the target, thus
making them absolutely safe from
stray bullets and accidental discharge
of the rifle. The general staff of
the army is now at work on a new
code of rifle practice which can be
used on such ranges and also on open
ranges of the Xational Guard, where
it is impossible to get distances be
yond 3tm yards.
Congress will be asked fit the com
ing session to adopt a policy of range
construction in the I'nited States.
Every year that this is put off will
add to the difficulties and cost to
the government of eventually acquir
ing such ranges, and without such
.'ranges the government will never ob
tain any adequate returns from its
loaning to citizens of Krag rifles anil
ammunition. Such clubs are now be
ing organized at the rate of fifteen to
twenty-five a week and the office of
the Xational Rifle association of
America, in whose hands the govern
ment has placed the organization of
these clubs, is a busy place. By ad
