 Further north and including Flag staff repair work only for the pres ent has been done the old rosd, but teams and autos can pass over under better conditions than have existed for many years. During the summer . force has been maintained on that end to accommodate travellers or tourists, and many vehicles have passed over
 The force has been withdrawn from the Mogollons on account of incle ment weather coming on, but early next spring operations on that end will be resumed, and the road com. pleted to Tagytaff The work now under way extends from Back E ranch to Camp Verde. distant twelve miles
 The old county road is not being utilized, but new one established which is on less grade, and will be far easier to maintain during the rainy season. Camp Verde Is expect. cd to be reached in about three months.

X Southwestern interstate good road. convention, called by Governor Sloan to further the interest of territorial highways. a transcbntinental highway and good roads in general, will mee, in this city December %. IL will be recalled by those who are following the good roads movement. that this project was result 0f the annual meeting of the Arizona good roads association in Prescott. early this fall. Governor Sloan was present at that meeting and at that time an. nounced that he would call such n convention. He did SO dating it for fair week, but owing to the election then pending in New Mexico the Son. vention was postponed for it was de. sired to have full attendance from that territory
 The conceived work of the eonyen. ton Is to form an association in which New Mexico, Arizona and Cali. fornia shall all bc equally represent. cd, the association to carry out the purpose indicated in the call. That there might he equal representation the fourteen counties of Arizona were taken as basis, two delegates to be named from each county and the governors Of New Mexico and Cali. fornia each being asked 10 name 2s delegates. That will make . couven. tion of SC delegates which will be . body ably representing the south, western country.
 It is unnecessary to reeite at thi, time the vast benefits to follow the development of tho good roads idea which is nov growing SO rapidly. and which Arizons has taken the lead in encouraging in the southwest by the building of its territorial highway system. But 1t Is only fair to Ari. sona, and to the governor, to say that is Is probably the most adyanc cd step yet taken and one that will redound to the credit of both the executive and the budding state. Gov. ernor Sloan has announced the fol. lowing named gentlemen as the dele. gates from the various eountiss ,, Arizona, to the coming convention.

IN LOS ANGELES
 LADIES CAST FIRST VOTE

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Nov. 2s. - The most strenuous and most interest. ing municipal campaign ever known in the history of Los Angeles is rap idly drawing to a close. Only a few days more Of hard campaign work and the deciding battle will he fought at the polls, on December :. What the result will be, nobody can tell; but whatever the decision may be, it will be made by the vote of women.
 For years the women have been working assiduously to gain political recognition and the right 10 vote in this state. At last. at the state cleo ton little more than month ago. their urgent wish was fulfilled and the franchise was granted to them by an amendment to the state con. stitution. That the women have now actually entered the political arena in this state and are a power to be reckoned with in the future is no longer debatable question. The campaign in this city, now drawing to it's close. is an argument which cannot fail to convince even those scoffers who belittled the importance of the "votes for women movement few months ago. This campaign, which will 70 down in history as the first positive manifestation of vom. ans political power in California, vas battle royal fought by women.
 It was granted to the women of Los Angeles to undergo the first test of their political fitness iu a campaign of unparalleled fierceuess and, on December ., the day of cleo. tion, they will be the firvt among the women of california not only to use their newly granted fraaeAise but to decide the result of the elee. tion. There is not the slightest doubt that the women Of Los Angeles hold the balance of power and that the outcome of the election depends en. tirely upon the vote of the women, of whom more than s5,ooo have been registered.
 Job Hartman, who has a strong following among the Iaboring classes, received financial support from 60. ciaiists in all parts of the country and carried on an energetic cam. paign. Mayor Alexander, realizing how critical the situation was and that the decision rested with the women, appealed tp the latter, es peeislly that of the wealthy elasses and they responded bravely. Travel ing in automobiles scores of society women made thorough canvas among the laboring women, urging them to use their votes and influence against the socialist candidates. The Hartman party also had women cleo. tioneering among the women of the poorer classes and only the election will show which side was more sue. ressfvl in its efforts.

The full report of the loss in regi-
stration at the checking up, of those
voters who were sent suspect notices
last week has not been summed up:
but it is estimated that 1t will be
somewhere between 500 and 500.
In some precincts the loss was well
up to the hundred mark. while in
others there were only few notices
sent out. The loss figures largest in
these precincts where negroes live,
attributed to the fact that so many
negroes have gone to the cotton
fields and were not located by the
clerks Of election, whose duty IL was
to canvass the precincts and report
the same to the election judges. and
also to leave suspect notices at the
numbers from where the voters had
registered.
