rus said.
If Mr. Walrus knew of the big
Thousand Dollar Contest just draw
ing to a close he would put extra
emphasis on his stage remark.
There is absolutely no doubt that
the time has come when contestants
must devote every ounce Of energy
they possess or know that the main
prizes are going to those who a1pre-
ciate the great opportunity. With
less than a week left, there are four
candidates who are within striking
distance of the top and others who
seem determined to shake off their
lethargy and make a last minute
rush for the waiting automobile.
The contest has now reached the
point where the candidates can not
depend alone on their own efforts
but where the help of every inter-
ested friend is essential to- success.
The neighbor or friend of contes-
tant who now deliberately refuse to
get out and activity support their
favorite certainly can not lay claim
to being a very true friend Of the
candidate they want to see win.
There are several hundred families
in Morgan City who have not yet
subscribed for the Review and every
one of them should be receiving the
biggest and best Daily Newspaper
ever published in their home city.
With the progressive plans = for
staunch support of the city andwith
the object in view Of giving the
most effective publicity to munich
pal growth and prosperity, it should
not only be pleasure but duty
for every citizen in Morgan City to
receive daily the organ which is de-
voting time and money to further
ing community interests. These rea-
sons justify every family in sub
scribing for The Review, even with
out considering the big circSlation
Contest.
But there is at this time a most
urgent reason for certain neighbor-
hoods in this city to get out and
hustle with might and main I'd build
up the circulation of The Daily Re-
view. You who have in your neigh
borhood a citizen who is striving to
win one Of the big Review Contest
Prizes should feel doubly bound
by loyalty to your representative
candidate and loyalty to your own
neighborhood to see that the biggest
prize goes to no other neighborhood.
You, who read, can give valuable
support and encouragement to your
candidate by taking a
,art Of one day before the contest
loses and devoting that time to
alling on friends and neighbors
Who are not subscribing for the

this great Contset, that community
commands the admiration of the
balance of the city and of visitors
from the outside.
With a prize worth $4,000 held
out to the winner, there is an incen-
tive which justifies mighty effort
on the part of every contestant and
every friend of every contestant.

ARMY TRAINING ALL
 BUSINESS, HE WRITES

All business, is the way Fred Blod- gett, former Kingman man, describes army life at Camp Stanley, Leon Springs, Texas, in a letter to the Miner. MT. Blodgett is attending the officers training camp and preparing for service with the National army in France. He is making a good soldier, from all accounts received here, and undoubtedly will obtain his commis- sion at the conclusion of the training course.
 He enclosed some pictures taken in and about camp, showing the splendid type of men now preparing to lead the Liberty boys. He asks the Miner to tell his friends in Kingman that he is very busy with military affairs.
 fLast week we spent three days and nights in the trenches, stimulating ac- tual warfare" he writes. q continue to have excellent health and enjoy the training very much"

MediatOrs Able to Adjust Serious Labor
 Difficulties

CLIFTON, Nov. 3.-Final settle ment of the strike of copper miners in the Clifton -Morenci-M -Metcalf district, which has been in progress since July l, was announced this week by Secre- tary of Labor William B. Wilson, chairman of the federal industrial commission investigating labor condi- tions in the Arizona copper camps. Approximately 1000 men are affected.
 The presidents mediation commis- sion. left here on a special train for Bisbee, having successfully concluded the strike in this district that has con- tinued for the past four months, in vOlved five thousand men and carried a loss of millions to the district.
 Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson just prior to his departure said:
 ''It has taken us a long time in the Globe-Miami district and the Clifton district to bring about the results ob-

I Some of the troop trains went through late at night during the week. Despite this fact, a large number of people met the trains, and their ar rival was heralded by loud dynamite salutes fired from the hill south of town. The dynamite was furnished by Roy Fridley..
 The boys said they had been well taken care of along the road and were supplied with many boxes of fruit and sandwiches, in addition to their regu- lar army rations. Red Cross commit tees met them at several points and served hot coffee and sandwiches.
 One officer said the men expected to be sent to France next spring.
 Not a single case of trouble was reported in any of the troop move ments. The men were allowed con siderable freedom. As one officer put it: "They are all honor men, and we don't have to round them up like sheep whenever we stop"

VAR SERVICE n BE RENDERED BY
 RED CROSS EDDY

War service was brought to the at tention of the local Red Cross this week when the executive committee met Tuesday to consider the question of helping feed soldier trains passing through Kingman. Division head quarters in San Francisco had ordered the local organization to prepare to render any service required and the Red Cross ladies already had endeav- ored to provide food for some of the contingents passing through.
 After extended discussion of the subject, it was decided to appoint a committee to superintend food distribution in the future when ever the occasion arises. It was the consensus of opinion that the local or ganization was not sufficiently sup piled with funds to undertake indis- criminate provisioning of troop trains and that it would devote its efforts to supplying such provisions as were turned over to it, unless otherwise di- rected by headquarters.
 Miss Kathleen Kehoe, the new sec retary, attended the meeting and per formed the duties of secretary. She was elected short time ago to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. c. A. Warren. Mrs. J. E. Perry's appointment as chairman of the or ganization committee was ratified. Mrs. Perry will visit the various dis tricts to organize Red Cross branches and assist in perfecting such organiza- tions as are already in operation.
 It was voted to authorize the crea- ton of a branch at Valentine. Mrs. Perry and Miss Kehoe paid Valentine a visit few days ago and helped the ladies at that place to perfect their organization.
 Though working but half day each week the ladies of the Red Cross have made and sent out for France a box containing over HOO articles for hos pital and field. They have assembled AAAoNSAAoA AOA many AAoAC CJ anu AAON dAC on the second box, and are also work ing for fund to purchase the neces- sary supplies and to meet other de- mands made on the Red Cross. The Red Cross has been called upon to fur nish 100 Christmas packages to be sent to the soldiers in France and in the different camps.
 If any one wishes to aid in this work the ladies will be pleased to have them call on Mrs. Allen Ware for in formation.
 The Red Cross gave a card party in the Odd Fellows lodge room on Octo- Der 20, and increased their fund by $16.25. They will probably give oth- CTS in the near future, and will be pleased to have all interested in the work attend. Everyone should be in terested in the work of the Red Cross, and all are welcome at their meetings.

ARIZONA COPPER STRIKE FORMALLY DECLARED OFF

tained but the commissioners and my self feel that the time has been we'll spent"
 The feeling among the commission CTS is that the agreement already in effect in this district, coupled with the amended order, and mutually adopted by employees and managers will insure lasting peace during the period of the war and beyond.
 After the recent crisis through which the government has been pass ing, the statement says that no griev- ance on the part of the men, well founded or imaginary, must be all lowed to result in the stoppage of production.
 The order directed to the officials of the unions directs that the strike be called off. The order to the man agers directs that the commissions plan for the adjustment of the pres ent difficulties and present griev- ances to be put into immediate operation.
 Under the agreement entered into in this district in 1916, the machinery was set up for the airing of griev- ances of employees through a griev- ance committee and failing adjust ment of the grievances with minor

GHOSTS DON'T KNOW
 NIGHT ID COME OUT,
 AS WIRES ARE TWISTED

Halloween ghosts were caught be- tween "the devil and the deep blue sea" this week when juvenile King man persisted in celebrating the wrong night. Halloween night, in reality, was last Wednesday night. h. stead of holding down their celebrat- ing ardOr, several young pranksters of Kingman let go with their enthusi- asm on Tuesday night, the 3Oth.
 Several gates about town were miss ing Tuesday night. In some instances, these stranded gates managed to get back home by the next morning, but a few are still in the Host, strayed or stolen" column, while property owners are heaving imprecations upon the heads of the young and consigning them to condign and immediate pun ishment.
 Halloween this year was formally observed in Kingman by a masked ball at the Cross dancing pavilion and by masked social by the Young Peo- ple's society in the basement of the new church. Large crowds attended both events and an enjoyable time was reported by all.

NEW RAILROAD
 ASKS RIGHT ID
 ISSUE SECURITY

PHOENIX, Nov. 3.-Arizona's new est railroad, the Apache Railroad Co.,, filed an application this week in the office of the state corporation com mission for permission to issue one million dollars in capital stock in shares of S100 each. Permission also was asked to issue Q mortgage bond in the sum of S6OO,OOO.
 The money to be thus raised is needed for the building of the road, which already is under construction. Grading for the right-of-way has been in progress for some time. The road is to run from Holbrook, in Navajo county, to Cuff Cienega in Apache county, in the White mountains.
 The completion of this railroad, which is to be of such importance to Arizona and the Southwest, will tap the largest unbroken timber belt in the United States, the new Apache railroad reaching to the very finest part of that belt. The timber will be cut under government supervision, the regulations of which will prevent the timber from ever becoming exhausted.
 Experts for the government already have estimated that there is enough timber in this belt in the White noun tains to saw two hundred million feet of lumber annually, that production being perpetual This new road is to make it possible to pro- duce the maximum number of feet of lumber yearly.
 Besides opening this wonderful tim Der the railroad which now is under construction will tap the sec ond largest producing coal district in Arizona and what will be the first coal mine. This road also will develop one of the finest dry farming districts in the United States.
 The road is to be standard guage, the company promoting and construct ing it being headed by McGaffee of the McGaffee Lumber company of New Mexico, and c. E. Pollock, prom inent Arizona banker.

HEAVY TOURIST TRAVEL EXPECTED
 COMING WINTER

California will see an influx of tour ists this winter according to Charles s. Fee, passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific, who has just re- turned from a trip through the east and south.
 q think the winter travel to the coast from the Middle Western states is likely to be heavier than last year," said Fee, "as the farmers almost without exception are extremely pros porous and despite the war will un- occasionally find their way from the snow, sleet and ice to the salubrious climate of the Pacific Coast.
 ocean trips for pleasure seekers, except to Havana, Hawaiian Islands and the Orient, are practically impos- sible under existing conditions.
 Conditions in the east with respect to winter travel are on the whole promising.
 "Some agencies seemed to think that customers might prefer to visit the military encampments in the south western states rather than make long distance travel, but recent develop ments indicate that such will not be the case.
 "Army officers in command of these encampments, in some instances at least, have distinctly discouraged ex- cursions as well as frequent visiting on the ground that the men are there for intensive training and their every moment is valuable from a military standpoint"

Men to Return to Work and Trouble Now Believed to
 Be Settled

officials of the companies, the right of appeal lay to the general man. agers.
 This agreement is continued with the addition that further appeal may be had now to a United States ad- ministrator in this district who is named as Hywel Davies, associated with Joseph s. Myers, in the settle ment of the first strike in 1915. His decision is to be final and binding on both parties. All men now on strike who report for duty within two weeks shall be employed without discrimin- ation except those since the be- ginning of the strike who have been guilty of disloyal utterances toward the United States, or who are mem bers of any organization that re- fuses to recognize the obligation of contracts, or who have demonstrated before their unfitness for work in a mine, or whose employment for any reason is contrary to the best inter- ests of operations.

Is Off to Capture
 Some More Prizes

A. NJ. MacDuffee, special mineral commissioner of Mohave county, who captured all the valuable prizes with ore from this county at the Northern Arizona fair, shipped out another con- signment of prize-winning rock last Friday for the state fair at Phoenix which begins November 12. Mir. Mac Duffee said he had gathered a splen- did display of mineral from all parts of the county, and if he doesn't come back with all kinds of prizes, he will be sadly disappointed. All sections of the county will be represented and visitors at the state fair will be able to see some fine specimens of ore. He expects to leave for Phoenix next Monday to be on hand early to ar range the exhibit.
