BAMBERG VOTES FOR WATER.
BY Overwhelming Majority Bond Is
sue Voted In.

By an overwhelming majority
Tuesday, the voters of Bamberg
registered their approval of bond
issue for the city for the purpose of
extending the waterworks and i'm
proving the electric power plant so
as to be able to operate the system.
The polls opened at s o'clock Tues
day morning, and closed at four, with
Messrs. P. B. Murphy, O. A. Simmons
and N. P. Smoak as managers.
The proposition was to issue s10,-
900 in bonds for the extension of the
water mains of the city into the resi-
Dental sections and for the boring
of deep artesian we'll from which to
secure a plentiful supply of pure Wa
ter, distributed in a sanitary man
ner, so that it may be used for all
household purposes; and $4,000 for
the necessary additions and improve
ments to the power plant to operate
the SYSTEM.
1t was seen at the outset that there
was very little opposition on the part
of the voters, as but few voices were
raised against the proposition. The
crying need of the city for sanitary
water and plenty of it was so appar-
ent that very few votes were put in
the ballot box against either PROPOSE
ton. The vote stood as follows:

COMMITTEE CONSIDER
 PLANS FOR CAMPAIGN
Democratic State Central Com mittee Will Meet in Little Rock July 25-Will Assign Campaign Speakers.

The plans for the Democratic cam Daiqn this fall are to be considered by the Democratic State Central Com mittee. which will meet in Little Rock July %. The call for the meet iag was issued by J. w. House, Jr., state chairman, who is injecting into the campaign the virility of youth and the energy that has been inherited from an energetic sire. It will be his first experience in state campaign. lie is probably the youngest chair man ever elected by the Democratic State Central Committee, but he has shown elements of leadership that promise splendid results for the party.
 The Committee will select Presi- dential elector in place of J. S. Ma loney, of Little Rock, who resigned; i; will review the contest from Poinsett county, and ratify the appointment of T. J. Terral, the Democratic nominee for Secretary of State, as assistant secretary of the committee.
 Campaign speakers will be assigned and a campaign committee appointed. Dr. Brough, nominee for governor, will make a large number of speeches during the campaign. It is not prob able that there will be any joint speaking dates arranged for Dr.. Brough and his Republican opponent, Wallace Townsend of Little Rock. In fact, there is at present no indication that the Republicans will make much of a fight, for past experience has proven it's futility.

.INIATIVE PETITIONS
 FILED WITH SECRETARY
Three Proposed Amendments, Repeal Statewide Prohibition
 Law and Enactment of Pure Primary Bill to be Submitted.

The time in which initiative peti- tions may be filed expired this week. There has not been the usual appeal to this direct system of legislation this year. Outside of the three pro- posed amendments, the only measures to be submitted to the people at the November election are the repeal of the statewide prohibition law and the enactment to the pure primary bill.
 Some interesting fights are prom ised on some of these measures. It is developing that there is an under current of opposition to the primary law which will call forth the most earnest and eloquent appeals of it's advocates to overcome. 1t has the approval of party leaders, and sev- eral of them, including Col. Brun- didge, will take the stump for it. There is no denying the fact, how ever, that the opposition will be more or less formidable.
 The campaign for the educational amendment, No. F, to permit school districts to levy a tax of 12 mills for school purposes, is being prosecuted vigorously. Dr. Brough is enthusias- tically committed to the measure, declaring that he is for the boys and girls, whatever the effect may be up- on his political future. Its advocates are showing that the passage of this amendment will not increase the taxes of single district in the state, unless a majority of the electors of that district should vote in favor of higher rate of taxation. Under the proposed law, it will be possible for a district to vote any time it may de- sire. up to a maximum of twelve mills It is purely optional. 1t is probable that a majority of the districts would not exceed the present maximum of seven mills.

COMMISSIONER HAS
 OPTIMISTIC REPORT
Conditions Profitable for ExplOi- tatiOn Arkansas Mineral Dis trict Never so FavOrable-S5 to 100 Cars Ore Shipped Daily

Little Rock, July 6.-Commissioner John H. Page has returned from an extended tour of the zinc mining coun- ties of North Arkansas with a most optimistic report of the actual work done and the prospects for future de- Ivelopment.
 Conditions for the profitable ex- ploitation of the Arkansas mineral district were never so favorable. An average of S5 to 100 car loads of ore is being shipped monthly, bringing in about $200,000 or two and a half nil lion dollars annually. There are 25 or 30 mills at work in the district, comprising the counties of Boone, Marion, Starcy, Newton, Baxter, Full ton, Sharp and Lawrence.
 The Arkansas ore is of a superior quality, and much of it commands a premium on the market. Forty per cent is the selling basis for carbon ates, and 60 per cent for jack Car bonates sell at $60 a ton and Jack lat S90 A car load of carbonate will run from $1,500 to $1,SO0, and a car load of jack from $2,500 to S8,0O0.
 The mining camps show great ac- tivity, and all who engage in it with good judgment find it very profitable. Mr. Page declares that with the de- velopment now in progress, it will become one of the greatest zine fields in the world.

2l,OOO,OOO FIGHTING
 MENlN UNITED STATES
Aggregate for United States 21,- 0O0,OOO Is to 45 Years of Age,
 lnclusive-Estimate Based on
 10 Per Ct Increase Population

Washington, D. C., June 6.-How many able-boded citizens of military age have we in the United States?
 The Bureau of the Census, while it is unable to make any estimate of the proportion who are able-bodied, estimates that the total number of male citizens and prospective citi- zens-that is, foreign-born persons who have declared their intention to become citizens-1S to 45 years of age, inclusive, is not far from 21,- 100000.
 This estimate is based on the as sumption that there has been an in crease of approximately 10 per cent in the population of the country since the census of 1910. What that cen sus was taken the total number of male citizens and prospective citizens Is years of age and over but under 46 was 19,1S3,000. Of this number, IA, ,224 ,000 were native whites, 2,S57,- 900 were foreign-born whites who had become naturalized or had declared their intention of doing so, 2,052,000 were negroes and 50,000 were Indians. The number of foreign-born citizens is partially an estimate, since the census enumerators were able to ob- tain information as to citizenship from only about seven-eighths of the total number of foreign-born males. Native whites thus represent about "A ger cent of the total, foreign born whites nearly 15 per cent, negroes nearly 1 per cent, and Indians about three-tenths of 1 per cent.
 During the Civil War, when the population of the country, exclusive of the seeding states, was less than one-fourth as great as the present po- pulation of the entire United States, the total number of men serving in the Federal armies at one time and another was approximately 2,500,000 (due allowance being made for dupli- cate enlstments, that is, cases in which men enlisted more than once
 The following table gives, by states the total number of males IS to 45 years of age enumerated at the cen- sus of 1910. The figures in this table include approximately 1,796,000 alien whites and 93,000 Chinese, Japanese and others, together representing about 9 per cent of the total, who would be ineligible for military ser vice. The Census Bureau has not compiled the numbers of these classes of the population, within the given age limits. who were living in each state in 1910.
 Taking the country as whole, however, the probable increase in population between 1910 and 1916 will approximately counterbalance the number of alien whites, Chinese, Japanese, etc, included in the figures for 1910, so that these figures may be accepted as roughly representative of the number of male citizens and pros pective citizens Is to 45 years of age, inclusive, in each state and in the United States in 1916.

James Kennedy, democratic can didate for Justice of the Peace in Williams precinct has been in Northern Arizona for 2S years and has, virtually, grown up with the country. He started his Arizona career as railroad man, working four years for the Santa Fe. He rode the range in his younger days and also did some farming. Later he was appointed deputy sheriff of Cooonino county and served four years. He was Town marshal of Williams for eight years. He was then elected Supervisor of Coconino county and served one term. His popularity was proved by the fact that he carried his home town by a majority of 300 and carried Flag staff against home man.
 While Supervisor, Mir. Kennedy got the first work done on West Coconino county roads. He in- sisted that road money should be pro-rated so that the west side might have its share.
 Mir. Kennedy is now engaged in the mercantile business in Williams. He is so situated that he could at tend to the duties of the Justices office very conveniently. He could and would be on the job all the time.
 As to MT. Kennedy's qualifica- tions- for the office of Justice of the Pesce there can be no question. His business and official experience would be a sufficient guarntee o. that. Adv.

 his savings, he has acquired con- siderable property interests in the county. So thru experience in labor and thru the ownership of property he is in position to
 get the viewpoint of both e1n- ployer and employee and his dis position is to strike a just and even balance between the two. In matters of legislation he be- lieves that much tim e is spent in passing laws which can not be e nforced and should not cum Der the statute books. His motto as a legislator would be Fewer and Better Laws. Adv.

Coconiuo county needs a man in the lower house of the legis- lature who is progressive and yet not so radically progressive that he would plunge the State into doubtful ventures; a man who would be too independent to be controlled by special interests and yet not so prejudiced against any interests that he would not do anything for them which he could do and not jeopardize the interests of the general public; a man who would work as hard to promote the interests of lab bring men as those of men of un- told wealth; A man who would work for a substantial appropria- tiop for the Northern Arizona Normal Schools.
 Cureton Fills the Bill
 T. H. Cureton of Williams fills the bill of specifications present ed above as well as any man in Coconino county could fill them. He is progressive but safe. He is independent without bigotry. He carries an open mind and can be convinced when in error. He will work for any interest, be it great or small, which can be pro- noted without .detriment to the general good. He is, himself, z laboring man and he sympathizes with those who labor and hs would do all he could to make theil work lighter and reward more certain and ample, A school mar himself, he would understand the needs of the Northern sAri zona State Normal and none would work harder to secure te this educational institution the financial support it deserves ano needs. 5,..

IDEAL CANDIDATE
 FOR CO. RECORDER

Jerrie W. Lee. candidate for County Recorder, came to Williams from Texas nine years ago. He had worked for the Harvey system for some time and he became cash fer at the Fra Marcus hotel in Williams and had served the Har- vey system for three years i'll that capacity when he accepted the po- sition of bookkeeper for the Ari- zona Central Bank of Williams. When the Arizona Central was re- organized and became the Williams State Bank Jerrie was made cash fer and he held this position for four and one-half years. Con finement to office work threatened to undermine bis health and he re- signed the position of cashier and accepted the position of bookkeeper and general assistant with James Kennedy, general merchandiser. This position he holds at present.
 Last May Jerr1e Lee was elected Town Clerk. It is safe to say that William never had u more capable Town Clerk than now fills that po- sition.
 Besides the business ability which Jerrie Lee has developed in the various positions of trust which he has held he has social qualities which make him very friendly in his dealings with people. He is very democratic in his relations with folks and extends the same degree of courtesy to all without any distinction whatsoever.
 As candidate for the office of County Recorder, JerrIe Lees abil- ity and open, frank personality should appeal to all With ex- ceptional business qualifications and unquestioned integrity, he would make an ideal public of ficial. Those having business to transact with him would find him accommodating and anxious to serve.
 Jerrie Lee is a man of family and is very devoted ta his wife and little girl. His friends include all those who have had dealings with him or have come under the in- fuence of his geniality. It is safe to predict that he will fill the of flee of County Recorder with entire satisfaction to his constituents, l. elected thereto. Adv.
