BUSINESS IS GOOD DESPITE WAR FEARS,
 SAYS BRADSTREETS

Despite war conditions, business in general throughout the country is good and there is every reason to be- lieve that the financial situation will continue to improve during the fall months, according to the weekly trade and financial review by Bradstreets. Scarcity of labor is an important fac tor, says the review, and there has been some stagnation due to the un- certainty attending the application of the draft law. These conditions should soon pass away, with nearly normal business conditions prevailing
 Following is the review of the San Francisco district:
 Business among the wholesalers and jobbers is quiet. Canned fruit and vegetable jobbers are active, owing to anticipated heavy packs. Feared scarcity of cans has not materialized, and it is expected that there will be sufficient for needs. Dried fruits are very quiet. Mining machinery dealers report demand very heavy. Copper mining is extraordinarily active. Scar city and cost of labor is complained of in every quarter. Shipping facili- ties are fair, and lumber mills are can be had. Money is still rather tight.
 Weather has been favor able for the gathering and curing of fruit and the reaping of grain. Grain crops are heavier than was antici- pated. A much smaller proportion than usuai of wheat ard barley is be- ing cut for hay, and where threshing has been done, quantity and quality are excellent.

COMPL ANT RECALLS OLO MURDER CASE OF
 THE BYE-GOHE DAYS

A complaint was sworn out in the justice court this week by Mrs. Dick Bennett, an Indian squaw, against Jim Bennett, another Indian and also a brother-in-law, charging him with the larceny of the entire estate of horses, burros and farm of her hus- band. The case is a rather compIi- cated one and promises to bring forth nearly all the members of the Walla- pal tribe as witnesses for one side or the other.
 Mrs. Dick Bennett was the wife of Charles Spencer, cattleman and iron tiersman of the early days of MOhave county, and the mother of Sam and Mamie Spencer, all of whom were well known to all of the early settlers of this section.
 The name of Spencer brings to mind his tragic death, some twenty odd years ago which has been told and retold by the old timers here. He and his partner, Charles Cohen had a controversy over their business trans actions and going out horse back on the range, the quarrel was renewed and they dismounted to fight it out. They fought until both fell exhausted and Cohen was fortunate or unfor- tunate enough to come to first and he shot and killed Spencer.
 Cohen was arrested and given a trial, at which he was freed as him. self and Spencer were alone and his testimony was the full evidence of the trial. Cohen sold his cattle in terests and left this county for Cali fornia shortly after this occurance.

They had not taken the trouble, how ever, to investigate the situation in this county and did not appreciate the business opportunity here. The Cen tral Commercial company has gone on the theory that nothing is too good for Kingman and Mohave County and has spared neither pains nor expense in erecting a building that would be a credit to any city in the country.
 A travelling salesman from Wichita, Kan, after looking the building over a short time ago, remarked: 'Well I've seen several good buildings in both large and small towns over the country, but I never saw in any city

D. Elmo BOllinger returned from Prescott Thursday last, having been called there by the trial of the Eclip- SC mine suit, growing out of an agree ment for the location or purchase of mining property. The cause, we be- lieve, was tried out in the local courts some time ago, but the plaintiff took the cause to the federal court, and 1t was in that court that the hearing came up this week. Miss Hettie Klein was called as a witness in the cause, having reported the case in the Super for Court

Q. Three hundred additional men registered under the selective draft have been summoned to appear before the local exemption board from which to obtain this county's quota of III soldiers for the National Army. One hundred will be required to appear next Monday, loo on Tuesday and 100 on Wednesday.
 This call was necessitated by reason of the extra allotment to Mohave county and the fact that so many exemptions were obtained. Mohave county's quota at first was 81 men. Then Governor Campbell notified the local board that the quota had been raised to III owing to the large alien population in several counties of the state. The local board was directed to summon 300 more men, making in all 462 called in this county.
 Those summoned for next week are:
