FLOODS RAGING IN ARIZONA

Tucson. Ariz, Dec. 26.-Floods, the
result of a week of practically un-

sons have lost their lives: live stock

ENGLAND WANTS US. LUMBER
LIKELY 70 ORDER 100000 FEET
FROM PACIFIC COAST.
Gives Opportunity to Portland Export.
ers to Bid for Business Of Sup.
plying Product.

Portland. Ore, Dec. 2S.-America's,
lumber industry revival is at hand.
Pacific coast lumber a~ggregating TO-
100000 feet is wanted in the United
Kingdom and Portland exporters are
being given the opportunity to bid for
the business OF supplying a big por-
ton of the product.
This is the largest quantity for
which inquiries have been received
from abroad locally since war started.
No particulars have been given as to
what the lumber will be used for, but
it is presumed that part OF 1t will be
for bridge and railroad construction.
1t is reported that the main diff
Guilty in taking new contracts for ship
ments of lumber to Off shore ports is
the trouble experienced in chartering
suitable vessels. Just now practically
all craft are in demand for the trans
p~ortation of grain and other foodstuffs
to the warning countries.
Before many weeks elapse lumber
men are looking for decided revival in
that line of business. In addition to
the likelihood of many cargoes Of
product being dispatched to Europe in
the near future it is believed that the
railroad companies in this country
soon will begin to place extensive ord
orS.

Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. 29.--With
the arrest Of 81 persons, 50 of whom
were able to secure their release on

fore Judge A. B. Anderson in the fed.

give bond after Marshal Storen re-
fused his request to be permitted to go

nizance of the frauds because a mem

others entered into q conspiracy to
keep qualified voters from registering,
to keep other such voters from cast.
ing their ballots, to purchase votes
from the gangs candidates, to round
up voters, and by the use of money
and liquor, keep them from the polls
