The better feeling prevailing was at
tributed to the adjournment Of Con-
gress and to reports that the gov
ernment will announce within a few
days its intention to loan several hun
dreds of millions Of war money to
railroads.
Extra-dividend rumors were current
today. One large Industrial corpora
ton is reported to have voted a large
stock dividend to be declared next
month and others are said to be con-
templating to avoid the extra large
war tax on large surpluses.

Low PRICES prevail
ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Market Is Narrow and Investment
Field Small.

Prevalent quotations on the local
stock exchange are low. it must be
admitted, but the market is so mar
row and the investment field so small
that no immediate Improvement can
be expected without radical develop
ments for the better.

Of local securities, finding 1t neces-
sary or desirable to market bonds or
stocks on the Washington Stock Ex-
change must be prepared to accept
prices that represent liberal conces-
sions.
The following analysis of the New
York market situation was received
late yesterday afternoon by w. B.
Hibbs & Co. from c. B. Chaplin, their
New York correspondents:
while the list lost a little ground,
the volume Of dealings was so re-
stricted that fluctuations were mean
ingless. The adjournment Of Congress
Is expected to promote a somewhat
better feeling, and II is not unlikely
that between now and the reconven-
ing Of Congress in December that
rather keen discussions will take
place with respect to advisability of
the government in some manner MAX
ing a substantial loan to the rail-
roads. or at least advocate further
increases in freight rates for the du-
ration Of the war.
while a tremendous. amount of
wealth has been piled up during the
past few years, still II Is becoming
increasingly apparent that about all
financial circles can be expected to
do is to absorb government war loans
while hostilities continue in progress,
as the rates exacted from private
corporations are prohibitive.
"Of course, the fact that money is
not plentiful for corporate purposes
would, perhaps. also spell that funds
would not be available for a marked
expansion of loans based on stock
exchange collateral, but even SO Sc
curity prices could not improve con-
siderably from this level without an
appreciably greater amount of money
being required"

AFTER THE
CAPTAINS AND
THE KINGS DEPART

During the entertainment of the Co
chise drafted men at the Country club
by the Y. NJ. c. A. the ether night,
the newspaper man spied Ray Krebs,
recorder, among the gay throng.
After the captains and the kings de-
part" softly quoted the newspaper
man. and made his way over to where
Krebs sat
During all the days of publicity and
marching and pinning on of badges
and mastering of the clans and send
ing them forth to glory this recorder,
with an office force that crowded his
quarters to the doors, had sat and
worked day and night to handle all
the massed array of correspondence
and instructions and records for the
county of the worlds greatest draft.
His was the silent part. No flags
or bands or speeches for the record
er; just work.
Thinking of these things. the news
paper man approached the recorder,
and congratulated him upon his work
well done. Krebs admitted that he had
worked pretty hard. once for 81 hours
at stretch. but he declared that the
main credit for the county's fine show
ing should go to the ladies'. They
made possible these celebrations
given the drafted men all over the
county" he said, and these enter
tainments and honors made the draft
successful in Cochise county"
The newspaper man looked surpris-
ed and expressed some doubt of the
broadness of the statement.
1T is a fact" earnestly went on
Krebs. In the beginning nearly ev-
cry one was seeking exemption and
showing a disposition to resist the
draft by every means. But after the
first Douglas and Bisbee celebrations
many men begun to recall their ex-
emption claims. The high honors
shown the new soldiers and the ap-
probation of the people for the sacri-
flee and service their country expect
ed of them had its sure and profit ef-

at the county courthouse, w!Iicn was
the center of all draft activity. Sheriff
Wheeler and i remarked on ii more
than once and were agreed that the
support and honors and warm feeling

pie of the county generally neiped the
draft more than any other one thing.
!, Look and see for yourself low

GRATITUDE IS
THE GREATEST GIFT
OF THE GODS

Thirty years ago a young man and
mis- bride drove down Tombstone Can
yon, coming from the northern part
of the great Rocky Mountain chain.
and camped at a spot just above
Castle Rock. The man died. His
widow lives still. in little cottage
within a few feet of where they pitch
ed their first camp here so many long
years ago. The newspaper man was
privileged, the other day, to listen
while this woman talked of the old
days and the new.
There is not a more interesting per-
sonality in all the southwest than this
English woman who left her home be-
hind the trim English hedges in a lit
tie town midway between London and
Oxford and came, mere girl, across
seas and mountains to spend her life
in this Arizona valley where the wind
from the desert blows the smoke from
the mine chimneys uay and night the
year round.
Grief, misfortune, sickness, financial
reverses, all these have come in clust-
ers and companies to try this woman
and break her body and take her hap
piness away. But her black eyes are
as bright and brave as though she
had just begun the fight, and in her
voice is no note of complaint or re-
pining

Who's Who" in the Warren District.

orator. merchant and official. should
appear the name of this woman who
has lived 80 years near the mouth of
the mines.
In the old days when Bisbee was
cluster of cabins, shacks and wooden
stores and the nearest doctor lived
in Tombstone and nurses and hospi-
tails were unknown in the district, this
woman cared for the injured and
nursed the sick.
Daily she made the rounds among
the sick and these men, lying alone
and uncared for in their cabins, call
ed her blessed. The miners came in
for special attention. Her husband
had been a foreman in the Copper
Queen, and the company and its men
have always held first place in her
regard during all of her 80 years In
this place.
Well, the camp grew and the doctors
came. and more miners. bartenders
and merchants. One day. a young
man on the payroll OF the Queen. who
had been ailing for some time, was
by the doctors TO be in
a bad way ''He will die in a day or
two" declared a doctor. and turned
to 20 and minister unto one whose
