MILITRY SPIRIT
 RAMPANT IN AUSTRALIA

ADELAIDE, S. Aus, Sept. 9. - The provisions of the commonwealth defense acf, under which all male in. habitanfs of Australia, who are Brit. ish subjects and not specially exempt cd, are liable for military or naval training, came into working force on July last. The past six months have been devoted Co the registration, ex. animation and equipment of the cad cts, and shortly they will all be en- gagged in actual training.
 In South Australia over l3,OO0 sen. for cadets were registered, and of these over 10000 have now been placed under training. Exceedingly satisfactory musters have been report ed at the drills which have SO far been held, and with few exceptions the lads have shown keen interest in the movement. From the age of l2 to Is years the boys are liable to serve in the junior cadets, from l4 fo lS Nfhfr III the n'hiOf 'au'trt "h" from IS to 26 years in< the citizen forces.
 The 10000 senior cadets now in training are boys who have attained or win attain the ages of l4, l5, 10 or I7 yesrs during 1911. The scatter ed population over vast area i' naturally making the work n little difficult; but the fact that th' scheme has worked smoothly In it initial stages, and has received loya support from the public generally augurs we'll for it's ultimate success
 It is estimated that 100000 senio cadets in the various states will nov begin military drill, and it Is expect cd that in few years hence Ans tralis will have in training 10000 senior cadets and 1ls,00o citize soldiers.

PECULIAR PLIGHT
 or SCHOOL TRUSTEES

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 7.- Re- auirements that have never been nam cd anywhere in the United States or In the Dominion 0f Canada by n board of trustees looking after the welfare of the little red school house, are exacted in the Gordon district, Shoshone county, Idaho, where the teacher qualifying for the position must have four or mors children. There is a legal reason for this stip- ulation, which, stripped of its verbi- age, means there is only one child of school age in the district.
 The law requires the enrolment shall be not less than five. The district, which is in the heart of the richest lead and silver producing country in the world. boasts of a new and fully equipped school house, q modern library and s40oo surplus funds. The salary attached to tho position Is slO0. The district must lapse if the requirements are moi carried out, and as a last resort, th' trustees are searching for n teacher to supply the pupils.
 1 The Gordon district has been sort of family community fo years. The children of two couples A. Oswald and A. Mason, eompose' the enrolment until recently, whei the Mason family moved 10 anothe part of the northwest, leaving Oswal' his child, a teacher and two mininI prospectors behind. The Mason fam

imperative the conclusion that only such persons referred Co can vote at any of the elections provided for in the Enabling Act.
 But even were there any doubt in reference Co the above conclusions such doubt is eliminated by the pro. vision of "Election Ordinance No. 2" adopted by the constitutional con. vention.
 Section 2 of "Election Ordinance No. 2" specifically defines the quail. fieatiohs for electors at the first state election.
 According to it's terms any male citizen of the United States of the nge of twcpfy.one, who shall have re. sided in the territory at least twelve months next preceding the date of the election heretofore held for the election of delegates to the constitu. tional convention, who shall possess in other respects the qualifications provided for by Title % of the ke. vised Statutes of Arizona, and whose names shall appear upon the great register as constituted by section l9 of the Enabling Act shall be qualified to vote.
 The great register as constituted by section 10 of the Enabling Act, is composed of the names appearing upon the great register of 1908, plus She names of all those who thereafter registered up to and within twenty. one days prior to the election of constitutional delegates.
 Said "Election Ordinance No. 2'' in no manner authorizes anyone tc vote at the state election, who has registered subsequent 10 twenty.on' days prior to the election for consti tutional delegates, hut it's specific wording eliminates the possibility of anyone voting at the first state elee ton who registered subsequent t' twenty-onc days prior to said election for constitutional delegates.
 The smitb.Flood resolution provides that the president shall certify it' adoption to the governor of Arizon' and that the governor shall there upon issue proclamation for th' holding of the first state election, a provided for in said "Eleetion Ordin anee No. ?" adopted by the eonsti tutional convention of Arizona.
 The congress of the United States therefore, especially approved an' ratified the provisions of "Eleetio' Ordinance No. 2" and its terms ar binding.
 In reply to your telegram, there fore. l have to state, that in my opir ion, no person registering since th closing of the registration had prio to the election of constitutional del' gates. can vote at the coming pr maries October % or at the eomin election on December lsih.

 The group has been well prospected at other points also under the flaw orablc conditions that attend the tun- mel method owing 10 the contour of the country. There are four of these openings, the upper one of l60 feet, No. of 350 feet.
