----- ~ - BOOZE TO FLOW IN STATE
 TILL FIRST OF YEAR

PHOENIX, Dec. 4.-Governor Hunt has decided to let the booze flow into Arizona until the end of the year Senator Ives, Governor Hunts attorney, has ad vised him to give the outside liquor houses and the carriers two weeks notice after the vote is canvassed by the secretary of state, so that they may get all of the shipments delivered. If the governor would issue the proclamation declaring the law in effect just as soon as the vote is canvassed, as contemplated by the constitution, the carriers would be caught with a lot of undelivered liquor on their hands and, under the law, there would be nothing to do but de- stroy it, as the law prohibits the movement of liquor in the state.
 AS the liquor houses who have been taking orders in Arizona have been guaranteeing the de- livery of the booze, they would be the losers by the transaction By giving them plenty of notice, Governor Hunt will enable them to continue to reap a big harvest and the carriers to profit by re- turns from freight and express shipments.

HEAVY SHIPMENTS
 0F PERSONAL USE

The local transfers were worked to capacity thI week delivering P. II. booze around Clifton. About a car load was received by freight and it is expected that large consignments will be brought in by express before Governor Hunt issues his proclama- tion declaring the state "bone" dry, whatever that may mean later on. Bone dry states have been awfully wet when the underground route has been open, but in Arizona the best is hoped for.
 Bootleggers are an awful expense in the state. While Greenlee compel led a few to take the count, other counties have been less fortunate. Even the government is put up against the task of catching the fel- low that will take a chance on dis pensing fire water to the Indian. On Colorado Indian reservations the bootlegeer has dispensed alcohol in the form of Jamaica ginger and lem on extracts better than 50 per cent. And both produce the big drunk.

CAMPBELL 32 AHEAD
 BY OFFICIAL CANVASS

PHOENIX, Dec. 4.-Secretary of State Osborn completed the canvass of the votes in the case of the recent election this after noon, and announced that Tom Campbell, republican nominee, received plurality of 32 votes over Governor Hunt. A certifi- cate of election will be issued later in the week.
 Governor Hunt is preparing to institute a contest as soon as this is done. It is said he will allege irregularities in several pre- oincts.
 Attorneys are undecided as to what the status will be if the contest is not decided by inaugu- ration day.
 The constitutional amendment providing total prohibition was accepted by majority of nearly 12,000. The amendment elimi- hating capital punishment was carried by 152. All other initiat- ed or referred measures, except the revision of the fish and game laws, were defeated.

AVERAGE PRICE OF COPPER
 30 CENTS FOR PAST MONTH

BISBEE, Dec. 2.-The average price of copper for November, according to figures of the Engineering and Mining Journal of New York, for the month of November 30.65, which is three cents higher than for the pre- vious month and two cents higher than it has been since the European war created such an enormous de- mand for this metal. According to the sliding scale on which miners wages are based, miners will be paid $5.S5 in December and muckers will draw S5.60 The miners in the War ren district are receiving the highest wages paid anywhere for this kind of work

The allegations as set forth mention irregularities on the part of officers on the vari- ous precinct election boards in throwing out ballots not properly marked for the contestant and counting them in favor of the contestee. Grave charges are also brought against the cleo tion boards and voters of both Blue and Eagle Precincts, aI- Ieging that liquor was freely
 distributed at these polling places in order to influence the action of the voters; also that at these polling places suitable booths were not arranged and that the voters were compelled to mark their ballots in the presence of each other and where they could be plainly seen. On this account the statement of contest claims all votes cast at the two places should be thrown out and disre- garded.

to be elected.
 The petition states that the contest ant cannot make up his case without an inspection of the ballots and prays that one inspector may be named by Linn, one by the contestee and one appointed by the court. In the con- ference with Judge Stanford, MT. Ives designated Homer R. Wood of Prescott as inspector for the gover- nor. MT. Ives said that he would ap- pear in court this morning at 9:30 and ask that the other inspector be appointed at once and that the in spection of the ballots may begin for thwith
 But it is not likely that an order will be made by the court today or until the attorneys for MT Campbell have had an opportunity to confer and decide, among other things on the inspector whom they will desig- nate.

FOREST BUSINESS
BY WIRELESS
Apache Ranger Flashes Message
 from White Mountains to Clifton.

Albuquerque, N. M, Nov. 2S.-A message received here this morning from District Forester Redington, who V inspecting the Apache National Forest ill Arizona, states that wire less message was transmitted yester- day from the Baseline Ranger Stati on to Clifton. The distance is forty miles. This is believed to be the first time that wireless has been used -ensacting National Forest busi- neA
 The outfit was installed by Forest Ranger Warner and Ray Potter of Clifton and cost $75. %. An ordinary telephone line between Clifton and Baseline would cost at leats S100 .00 , per mile or $4,000.00.
 The transmittal of the message demonstrated the practicability of overcoming the heavy static" incl dent to the dry climate of the South vest, and Forest officers hope that wireless telephony will be the next development in the National Forest communication system. Wireless would eliminate the cost of special telegraph operators incident to an or dinary wireless system and would be of incalculable value in combating Screst fires and transacting general Forest business.

A party frock for the social bud, which does it's American designer no end of credit, tells it's pretty story in the picture above. But half it's charm must be left to the imagination, since it lies in combination of colors. Deli cate. but not too pale shades of pink and blue, with the introduction of sil- yer lace. make up a fowerlike con- cept1on which it is an inspiration to look at.
 The underskirt of pink silk net con- trives to be fairly full about the hips, and very full about the ankles, by the simple and lovely expedient of the band of silver lace insertion set in, like giINlle, below the hips. It Is piped at each side with a cord, GOV cred with pink satin, and the net is gathered to it. This allows the hounce to be much fuller than the up- per portion. The flounce Is bound at the bottom with a cord covered with satin. Over this underskirt a second skirt of blue net falls. covering it's en- tire length. It is bound with blue satin, which causes it to stand out about the bottom
 The bodice Is cleverly designed of blue satin, with square piece set

Robin at Church Service.

In Highland church on a recent Sunday the movements of a robin proved a source of great interest to the congregation. The bird had evil dently found it's way into the church some time before the service, and ap- peared not the least put about by the presence of the congregation So tame, in fact, was 1t that 1t had no hesitation in taking up positions close to the oc- cupied pews. Towards the officiating clergyman 1t evinced the greatest friendliness, and confidently perched on the pulpit gas brackets, over the reading desk. From these points of vantage it calmly surveyed the minis ter and congregation. The robin seemed to consider 1t a duty to take a part in the singing, and on each oc- casion when hymn or psalm was be- ing sung it's cheery notes were heard accompanying the congregation.

Why One Sneczes.

There is more than one cause for sneezing, and persons may differ in their susceptibility to them" says a specialist in diseases of the nose and throat
 "A bright line will cause some per sons to sneeze. the pollen of certain plants will affect others, and most people are likely to sneeze in the presence of dust. Such sneezing is due to superficial irritation.
 The sneeze caused by the effect of cold is different It is an attempt of nature to cure you. She makes you sneeze for the same reason that she makes you shiver-to generate heat for warming the blood and pre- venting you from taking more cold to help to relieve the cold you have.
 The sneezing from cold is not an act of the nose alone, this being merely the part of the body where it explodes. It is an act of the entire body, during which every muscle gives jump. The body is affected by a spasmodic effort to warm the entire system ard throw of cold"

 T didn't know astronomy was hob by of yours, Jim," said MT. Greenacre unsuspiciously. However, here's the key. Mind you lock up, and you can leave it on the porch, under the mat if I'm not up when you come"
 Thank you, sir" said Jim with hu- mility. May l see the time by your watch?'
 The old church warden handed him his gold presentation timepiece, which Jim studied attentively.
 Why, didn't know it was so late," he said. "Half-past ten"
 "Goodness!" said MT. Greenacre. The hours are flying! And I'll have to be up early tomorrow to have the church ready for the ceremony"
 Harry Grant awoke at five the next morning with horrible oppression on his chest. He looked at the watch, tried to sleep, was afraid of oversleep- ing himself got up, yawned, and be- gan to look for his toothbrush among his packed things. Then he thought of Madeleine and smiled happily.
 Five hours!" he murmured I'll surely be in time" And he tried to sleep again, but the sun was shining so brightly, and this was his wedding day He dressed and went downstairs He had told the maid not to come for a couple of weeks, and the little house, which he had leased for their homo and occupied during the last month, was empty
 Six o'clock came; seven, eight. Harry went into the kitchen and raked up the remains of cold supper. The ceremony was to be very private one, and there was to be neither a best man nor bridesmaids. He was going to walk calmly to the church-calmly, although his heart was beating violent. ly, and he felt like a man ascending the platform of the guillotine. An endless period passed It was past nine. It must be time to start. He looked at his watch. It had stopped.
 lie stared at it aghast, and then, in wild panic, rushed out of the house and reached the church five minutes before Madeleine and her father en- tered.
 Alone at the back the baffied con- spirator watched the ceremony. His forethought had all been vain. Every. body in the church believed that it was half an hour later than it was; but it is no use fooling with bridegroom on his wedding morning, because no- body knows what the animal will do.
 Down the aisle walked the happy couple, to the strains of Mendelssohn. Harry shook Jim warmly by the hand.
 "Old man-awfully kind of you to come" he stammered.
 Not at all" said Jim. Not at all. Only l wish, Harry-I wish I'd been best man."

No Trouble at All,

On New Years eve, just as it was getting dusk. bricklayer's laborer walked down the main street of the city. Coming to poultry dealers place he stopped and gazed admiring- ly at the fowls and game displayed on the window slab One turkey of about fifteen pounds weight took his fancy. After running his fingers through the coins in his trousers pockets a few times he decided on having that tur- key. Picking it up he entered the shop. The shopman was very busy. Jest weigh this bird for me, will ye?" said he. Why don't you take your birds somewhere else to be weighed" snappily replied the poulterer without looking up. "Oh, I kin do that ali right" he replied. cheerfully picking the bird up and walking out with 1t.

REAL LEVEL LINE DESCRIBED
1t Follows Curvature of the Earth, but Must Be at Right Angles to
 Perpendicular.

Has level line the natural curve of the earth or not? If 1t were possi- ble to construct spirit level one mile long and to lay it so that 1t would just rest upon a smooth body of water. would it touch the water in the middle and be raised at both ends?
 To un| rstand what is meant when we say a thing Is level we must un- derstand what is meant by perpendicu- lar. A line is perpendicular when, if extended sufficiently downwards, 1t would pass through the center of the earth. This Is the line given by plumb bob. A line is level when 1t is at right angles to a perpendicular line. A level line has the natural curve of the earth. If you had a compass large enough to place one point at the center of the earth and draw circle around the earth, every section of this circle would be level. If you could construct a perfectly straight rod one mile long and place it on perfectly still water the ends would be above the water if the mid dle just touched the water

on in the middle of the front and back, forming points above and below the waist line. The side bodies are cut into points at the bottom and extend to the arms. There are small ruff fled straps over the shoulders. A yoke of the pink and blue nets is fulled in at the top of the bodice and gathered to form a narrow ruffle about the round neck. Short puffed sleeves are made of the two nets also. The waist line is defined by two bands of mar row silver gauge ribbon, and the mar rowest of silver edging outlines the ruffle about the neck
 All the requirements of the modes of the hour are met by this model of good taste in using them. The very full skirt, the close-titting bodices and the airy fabrics that fashion approves find expression in 1t.
 The combination of blue and pink, which is a French suggestion, is only one of several combinations of color that might be embodied in a frock made in the same way But pink and blue used together are met with so often in displays of spring apparel (notably in millinery that 1t promises to be feature in coming fashions.

Till tomorrow, dearest"
 And then for ever,"
 A parting kiss, the last that was to be for parting. and Harry Grant went reluctantly down the steps of the Forster home, while Madeleine, his bride of the morrow, gazed fondly af- ter him from the doorway.
 It was not late-the Forsters had insisted on Madeleine retiring early for a good rest, in anticipation of the morning ceremony. It was, in fact, little after nine, and Harry had hardly disappeared from sight when Jim Bennett came up to the door.
 Good evening, MT. Bennett" said the girl, rather coldly. One may be cold, even on ones wedding eve, to a rejected suitor.
 Jim Bennett was in no way abashed by his reception.
 Just came in to wish you luck" he said. Why, Miss Forster, your watch is coming off the chain. Let me tighten that link for you!"
 'I don't see anything wrong with it," answered the girl. But Jim, with out answering, deftly began to tighten the link with his pocketknife and a thumbnail, stopping before the girl, who waited, rather offended.
 That's all right" said Jim cheer fully. "Is the old man to be seen?"
 MT. Forster is in his library, but if you go into the parlor you can wait for him. said the girl coldly.
 Thanks, I will" said Jim. He did not go straight into the house but passed round the back through the kitchen. Two minutes later he met MT. Forster in the parlor.
 Just came to wish you all luck" he said.
 Thank you, my boy" said the old man with emotion. He knew that he had been one of Madeleine's numer- ous discards.
 Don't you think MT. Bennett acted rather strangely" asked the girl of
