State--U. S. Army Men Believe
Bandit Fears NearRess Of PersAisgss
Troops

JUAREZ, Oct. 26.-Villa and hif
bandits are continuing their retiring
movement from Chihuahua state to the
Santa Ysabel district, carrying con-
siderable equipment and supplies with
him. Desultory skirmishes between
his forces and the CarranZistas were
reported by refugees from Chihuahua.
General Trevino, leading the Carran-
zistas, refuses to meet the bandits in
an open battle, fearing another trap
similar to the one he was led into at
Chihuahua City.
United States army authorities be-
lieve the withdrawal is a strategetic
plan. They believe Villa fears to hold
Chihuahua state because of the near
ness of General Pershing's forces, and
that he desires to draw the Carran-
zistas into his own country. He
boasted that he would control Chihua-
hua state within a month after the
withdrawal of General Pershing's
troops.

Twenty-seven inmates perished when
the St Elizabeth hospital burned

missing. The property loss will be a

third floor to the pavement.
Patients and employees fought each
other wildly in their attempts to gain

with people. The flames trapped a
crowd of children who huddled togeth-

safety because of the stairway being
burned away.

Norris and Andy Taylor, Com
pany Representative

The Idaho National Harvester com
pany has just completed arrangements
for the most elaborate state display
of the Idaho harvesters ever made in
having been shipped today to Phoenix
Arizona. These machines will be
shown at the Arizona state fair which
takes place in that state from No
vember 18th to November 23d.1 The
exhibit will be in charge of Press
Morris as salesman and Andy Taylor
as machine expert from the factory
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris left a week ago,
going by way of water from Portland
to San Francisco, and thence through
California to the southern state.
The most elaborate system of dis
play advertising accompanies the eX-
hibit, gotten out for the sales de-
partment of the company by Mr.. Earl
Barton. 1t depicts the history of re-
ducing grain from the earliest times
by the Chinese people down to the
modern methods, Gaping the climax
with the latest and most inexpensive
thing in combining, that of the Idaho
product.
The sales department of the har
vester sold seven of these machines
in Arizona this year and could have
more than doubled that number had
it been known definitely that they
would stand the strain of operating
over the boundaries which formed an
essential part of the farming opera
ions of that irrigated section. The
machines have not only made wonder
full records on the Arizona fields, but.
they have in addition shown the re-
narkable strength of their build by
not being affected in the least by
the jar of running over the borders
built anywhere from fifty to a hun
dred feet apart to confine the flow
of irrigated water, which in that
section insures yearly crop and
makes the Salt River valley one of
the richest farming communities in
the United States.

ATTACKS STATE
ADMINISTRATION
COLONEL HAMER TELLS CROWD
AT EGGAN'S HALL COVER
NORS POLICIES WRONG
Says Underwood Bill Would Have
Caused Greatest Deficiency in
History But For War

Colonel Thomas p Hamer of ST
Anthony, who is following Governor
Alexander's itinerary over the state
and speaking after him, addressed a
large crowd at Eggans hall last night
emphasizing the republican view OF
state and national issues, and con-
tradicting the arguments and state
ments made by Governor Alexander.
The speaker paid high tribute to
the national constitution as the basis
of our government, and stated that
our people necessarily had been and
are divided in their views of the man
ner of conducting governmental af-
fairs.
He urged that had it not been for
the European war the United States,
under the Underwood bill, would have
faced the greatest deficiency in ma
tional history. This country, the
Northwest, would have been in need
had it not been for the great demand
for grain, he pointed out.
Colonel Hamer's criticism upon the
state administration was severe and
direct. He pronounced as false the
statement that the state has full
treasury and stated that on the con-
trary there will be deficiency of
about 100000 as shown by the books
and records at the treasurer's office,
at the end of the present year.
He attacked the prohibition claims
made by the governor, stating that
dry measures had been advocated in
communities where the dry element
prevailed and contrawise in wet"
communities.

FORESEE VICTORY &

LEADERS AT STATE HEADQUAR-
TIERS OPTIMISTIC OVER SOUTH
ERN STATE SITUATION
Every Reason to Believe North Idaho
Will Return 0Id-Time Re-
publican Majority

BOISE, Oct. 26.-"The situation in
south Idaho is most gratifying, both
for the national and state republican
ticket" says statement given out to-
day at republican state headquarters.
Reports and polls from all over
south Idaho have been carefully check
ed, and we feel justified in saying
that the republican national and
state tickets will have a substantial
lead in this part of the state.
while reports from north Idaho
are favorable, it has not been possi-
BILE, as yet, to check them. We con-
clude, therefore, that unless Idaho re-
turns heavy majority for the demo-
cratic national and state. tickets, the
republican party will be successful in
Idaho.
I'VE have every reason to believe,
however, that sections like north Ida
ho, whose industries depend to such
a large extent upon the operation of
republican politics, especially after the
close of the European war and re-
turn to normal conditions with farm
ing, mining and numbering then de-
pendent upon the protection of an
adequate tariff law at home and not
upon the sweep of the sword abroad
will return it's old-time republican
majority which will beyond question
give Idaho to Hughes and to the en-
tire republican ticket"

auctions in the assessment as return ed by Tax Assessor Austin Johnson were made by the board. In their dis cussion of the values the members unanimously agreed that Faulkner county had fallen far behind and the assessment needed a thorough revis- ion upward. The recently published statement in the Log Cabin Democrat showing that there had been practic- ally no increase in assessed land values in the county for 25 years struck the board with considerable force and it seriously considered the matter of proceeding at once to lift the assess ments generally throughout the coun- ty. It was decided, however, that the time would not permit this to be done equitably and resolution was adopt ed requesting the assessor to increase the assessment of lands in the county next year an average of $1 per acre, and city lots and personal property in proportion.
 The tax books showed that there are total of 418,700 acres of taxable land in the county. The assessed val uation of this land in 1915 was $1,- 295,303. A total increase of $41S, TOO would therefore add a fraction more than B per cent, or virtually one-third to the assessment. The same percent age added to all property in the coun- ty would bring the total valuation from $3,593,619 to $4,790,492. The taxes thus secured would retire about $24,0O0 in county scrip in year, in- stead of about $1S,0O0, as at present, and would provide considerable addi- tional funds for schools and other purposes.

COTTON AND SEED
 SLIGHTLY LOWER

Cotton and cottonseed are both slightly lower on the local market to- day Wednesday,, cotton selling at 15 1-2 to 15.60 for middling uplands and cottonseed $2 per ton lower at $40.
 Receipts continue very heavy here and are estimated to have reached fully 5000 bales. Cotton was brought here this week from points in Stone and Searcy counties, requiring haul of two days and nights, the sellers hauling the cotton across the Mis- souri X North Arkansas tracks and going distances of about 60 miles to reach the Conway market. Jeff Forte brought in several wagonloads from the Fourche river bottoms in Perry county this afternoon, and hundreds of bales from Van Buren, Conway, Cleburne, White, Pulaski and Lonoke counties have been marketed here this season. Conway has attained a rep utation throughout central Arkansas as being the best cotton market in the state.
