TOM REED ROW RESULTS IN BIG
 MINE SHAKEUP
Reports From Los Angeles Say MOerdyke and Sev- eral Others Quit; RumOrs
 of Merger With United Eastern Revived.

Word from Los Angeles states that there has been a shakeup in the Tom Reed Mines company, resulting in the resignation of President Moerdyke, Directors Card and Auten and Super intendent Raab. Along with this re- port came rumors of a possible mer- ger with the United Eastern and a new alignment of the controlling fac tors in these two bog mines in the Oatman district.
 The Los Angeles advices state that the disruption was due to lack of harmony in the Tom Reed. Per sons in close touch with the affairs of that company did not hesitate to express the opinion that definite steps were under way to bring about a merger.
 Reports also were current on the coast that the treasury conditions were not making as favorable showing as was desired. It was said also the mill needed overhauling. The company, it was Sald, mas about I4,UOU JonS or ore in sight. The company estimated this to be worth $500 ton.
 Mir. Moerdyke, the retiring presi- dent, has been connected with the Tom Reed eight years, in various capaci- ties. He is still in charge of its legal affairs, and was quoted as saying that he still has great faith in the mine and expects that everything VII be sat isfactorily adjusted.
 The Tom Reed has produced S6,000,- 900 in gold and has paid S2,5O0, GOO in dividends.
 There were sharp fluctuations in the price of the stock on the Los Exchange Thursday, reach ing 53 cents low during the day and ralIying to 59 cents.

GREAT WAVE OF PROSPERITY
 SOON TO SWEEP COUNTRY

Millions upon millions of dollars are to be poured into the channels of com merce the next few months, and the deluge of gold will begin inside of 80 days. This information is credited to Capt. Edwin Gunner, late of the quartermaster's department and more recently from Fort Benjamin Harris on, at Indianapolis, according to ad- vices from Los Angeles.
 Capt. Gunner asserted: "We are just now beginning to feel the full weight of government buying. With in another 30 days the government will have poured millions upon mil lions of dollars into the business channels of the Nation"
 Some people, easily influenced by local temporary conditions, have ex- pressed the opinion that business was "all shot to pieces by the war;" and

Alexander Lange, said to be an es- capped prisoner from an interned Ger man merchant ship, was turned over to federal authorities last Monday on a charge of having made threats against President Wilson and other officials and of having outwardly op- posed the operation of the selective draft law. Instructions came from Washington to local federal authori- ties to hold Lange on a presidential warrant and he was placed in the GUS tOdy of Deputy United States Mar shall Fred Weage of Phoenix. Tues day morning Lange was taken to Prescott for arrainglnent in federal court.

Raising an army for Uncle Sam un- der the selective service law is the biggest job this nation ever under took. Mohave county along with every other county in the country is experiencing the same difficulties. Only about 35 men in this county call ed as the first unit of the great nat ional army today had been certified. The local exemption board announced that slow progress was being made because of the immense task confront ing it. This county's quota is III men for the army.
 All of the first 162 names had been disposed of with the exception of seven claims for exemption. A num- bor failed to report, several others had enlisted, five registration cards were cancelled and cleaning up the routine work was taking a great deal of time.
 The second contingent of 800 names has not been classified. All were ex- amined Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of this week and as all those who claim exemption have ten days in which to submit their affidavits, it will be some time next week before final disposition has been made of the list
 Nine claims for exemption, among the first 162 men examined, were dis allowed by the local board. While no hard and fast rule could be laid down, the local board endeavored to judge each claim for exemption on its merits. Members of the board stated today that they tried to conform to the instructions of the war depart ment in considering each case. The cases of married men were the most complex. Both interests and respon- abilities of the government and the applicant had to be taken into eonsid- eration. In some instances the regis trant made no claim for exemption, but claims were put in by persons claiming dependency. These, the board asserts, were considered on their merits, along with all the other claims.
 Affidavits of dependency were the only evidence before the board. If there were frauds, the applicants have taken a dangerous risk, the board as serts. Abuse of the exemption privi- ledge, it is asserted, will be severely dealt with. The board announces that it did not attempt to follow any gen. eral policy, either exempting married men as a class or of accepting single men as a class.

The dividend, like the first one, will be at the rate of five cents per share. It is said that Mohave county men are big win ners in the disbursement of dividends, J. L. McIver getting about S7,O00, George w. Long over S6,000, J. F. Me Cornell over S5,OOO and W. B. Riden- our about S1, 1,400.

that Mohave county might have to ask for State aid in driving the wolf from the door.
 Anyone who looks ahead cannot help but see that a great era of pros- perity, considered from a financial and business standpoint, is just on the verge of cawning. Millions of dol- lars must be spent for all kinds of foodstuffs, supplies etc, for the army. And business at home will haveto go on.
 The thing for you to do, Mir. Mer- chant or Business Man, is to go right on advertising and make your plans for doubling your business. Instead of finding money scarce, you will find that it is plentiful, and if you don't get your share of it, the other fellow will.

REDCROSS GETS .S6,545.37FROM
 MOHAVE COUNTY
Chairman Thompson Sends Money to Secretary Me AdOO; National Organiza- tiOn Will Care for Ameri- can Wounded.

Money raised in Mohave county for the National Red Cross society was turned over this week to Secretary McAdoo, who is ex-officio treasurer of the war fund being subscribed to care for American wounded in Europe. E. F. Thompson, chairman of the fi- nance committee, announced Thurs day that the local banks were for warding S6545.37 to Secretary Mo Adoo as this county's contribution. This was s1546.S7 more than this county's share.
 The money represents the result of the whirlwind campaign conducted by Mir. Thompson and associates in Mo have county two months ago, when the natinonal drive was on to raise S100,- 100000 for the Red Cross. Few dis tricts in the country did better than Mohave county and those in charge of the campaign, the local banks and all concerned in the movement deserve great credit for the large amount raised.
 Statements have been issued by the national Red Cross showing the dis position of the huge sums for relief and care of the American boys wound ed on the battle front. Announce ment is made that $100,000 has just been appropriated for research work in France. Some of the ablest doctors and surgeons in America are with the American armies in Europe and it is desired to place at their disposal am pie funds to carry on the work.
 The Red Cross with it's three mil lion members has just completed plans for the Christmas cheer of every sol- dier and sailor in the national service Many of the men who will be in the cantonments and trenches this year will be spending their first Christmas away from home. None will be for gotten.
 Red Cross chapters nearest the g army camps and cantonments will probably arrange in their towns com munity Christmas trees with carols, pageants and holiday movies to which the 6O0,OOO men in training will be in vited.
 Arrangements of the details of the Christmas celebration for our men in France is being made, but the Red Cross will see to it thatevery soldier has his Christmas package with it's message of goodwill from the women on the home side of the Atlantic. There will be surprises in every pack age, but all of them are likely to con tain writing paper, pipes, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, unbreakable mirrows, puzzles, dominoes, banker chiefs and playing cards.
 The war council of the Red Cross has appropriated $1O,OOO to free the Columbia, S. C., cantonment and its immediate vicinity from malaria.
 This sanitary undertaking for the benefit of men of the new army who are ordered to Columbia for their training, illustrates what the Red Cross is arranging to do at other cantonments the country over-even in the vicinity of camps where mala- ria is not prevalent.

CHEEK WITHDRAWS
FROM RUA-OFf RACE
FOR NAyRi SHERIFF
YIELDS TO OPINION OF VOTERS
AND WILL SUPPORT Mr.. HOU-
SER AS NOMINEE.
THANKS FRIENDS FOR SUPPORT
Does Not Believe Leader in Saturdays
Primary Should be Forced to Make
Another Race for the Nominal
ton.

John B. Cheek, second man for
sheriff in the Democratic primary last
Saturday, will not be a candidate for
| the nomination in the run-off to be
held Saturday, December 8. Al.
though he made splendid race and
had many assurances that if he re-
NAMED in the race he would have a
good chance of winning the nomina-
ton, Mr.. Cheek has preferred, after
due consideration, to yield to what he
believes to be the true principles OF
| democracy, and has withdrawn, and
at the same time he has. pledged his
support to g. X. Houser, the leader
in the race, who will be declared the
nominee of the Democratic party.
F; Mr.. Cheek has issued statement
setting forth his reasons for with
drawing, in which he says;
ITO the Democratic Voters of Maui
ry county:
Il desire to again thank my friends
for their loyal support during my re-
cent campaign for sheriff, and their
votes given me on last Saturday ]
shall always appreciate your loyalty
to me.
: Under the plan of the primary, |
have a chance for run-off with Mr.
Houser and l have heretofore an
nounced my purpose to seek election
in the run-off, and have asked my
friends to support me in the same,
but, after talking with great num-
Der of my friends and other voters, /
am convinced that there is large
number of voters who believe the
man who received the largest num-
Der Of votes in the first election
should not have to submit to another
election. In other words, the people,
seem to not favor the run-off plan
And l myself have, after thinking
seriously over the matter, reached
the conclusion that Mr.. Houser should
not be required to go into another
election after having received sub
stantial lead over myself in SAITH
days election, and desiring to do that
which is right, and to submit grace
fully to the will Of the people, /
hereby announce my withdrawal from
the race for sheriff in the coming
run-off and my determination to
support Mr. Houser as the nominee
Again thanking my friends for
their loyalty to me, remain,
Yours truly,
JOHN P. CHEEK.

RAILROAD STRIKE
IS UNTHINkASLE
TIEUP OF TRANSPORTATION
FACILITIES, AT THIS TIME
WOULD BE DISASTROUS.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 27.-Those
who are familiar with the railroad
situation, and who realize the neces-
sity for uninterrupted transportation
as an aid to the Government in the
winning of the war, claim that rail-
road strike at this time would be
nothing short Of treason.
The Manufacturers Record, OF
Baltimore, Md. one of the foremost
publications dealing with the CONNER
cial and Industrial happening of the
country, says in a recent editorial:
The man who to-day antagonizes
the railroads or an increase in rail-
road freights, made necessary by pre-
sent conditions is, whether inten-
tionally or not. co-partner with
Germany. and every word that he
says and every act that he does
against increased income for rail-
roads is word spoken and an act
done in behalf of Germany"
