Japanese Dignitaries.

A special train passed through
Winslow Tuesday evening bear
ing the distinguished Japanese
commission headed by Vicount
lshii, on their way to San Fran
cisco, from which place they will
shortly sail for their native land.
Advice of their coming had been
received by the local Japanese
colony, and they were at the
depot in full force to greet their
distinguished countrymen during
the brief stay of the train. Ac-
companying the commission was
a guard of American secret SER
vice men to give them safe con-
voy across the continent.
1t is now given out that the
mission of this eminent body of
japanese statesman was to reach
an amicable agreement with this
country regarding the purposes
OF the two countries in China,
and clear away the disquiet and
suspicious aroused by German
secret diplomacy. Just prior to
the departure OF the commission
from Washington a gentlemen's
agreement was entered into be-
tween the two countries, and the
written document, having all the
force of a treaty, has been sign
ed by Secretary of State Lam
sing and Viscount Ishii, thus
clearing the atmosphere of all
rumors of armed conflict between
the two nations over trade rela-
tions in China.

More Bouquets.

The Winslow Mail has a letter
from Terrence 7. Tennery, a
Winslow boy who was with one
of the troop trains that passed
through here last week, which
we are pleased to publish:}
"On behalf of the 10Th Co. of
Arizona soldiers in my charge,
and all the rest Of the troop on
the train-500 men wish to ex-
press their appreciation of the
loyalty and hospitality shown us
by the Red Cross and the citizens
of Winslow. 1t was the only
good "eats" and good time
shown US on the entire trip tc
California. We will remember
Winslow in the trenches. Kind
est regards from all the boys ir
the khaki to all the good people
of Winslow.

Parent Teachers Meeting.

Next Tuesday evening is the
next meeting Of the high school
parent-teachers association, and
in addition to the usual excellent
musical program, there will be
several readings, and a round ia
BILE discussion led by Miss An
derson on the Red Cross work in
the schools, and by Prof. Grover
on aids to home study. These
meetings are not social functions
but have for their purpose the
serious work of establishing a
closer cooperation between pa
rents and teachers for the de-
velopment of greater efficiency
in high school work, and every
parent, particularly the fathers,
who have children in the school,
should feel it a duty they owe to
their children to attend these
meetings to keep in touch with
the work being done in the school
room. The parents ought to be
more interested in the work of
the school than even the teach
ers, as they furnish the money
to conduct the school, and their
children are the ones directly
benefited by its maintenance to
the highest possible standard of
efficiency, and by attending the
parent-teachers meetings they
can gather some idea of the work
being accomplished and the needs
of the school. Manifest your in
terest in the educational welfare
of the children by attending the
parent-teachers meetings regu-

Enormous Sheep Loss.

Driving his band of sheep over
the same trial where last week
G. |. Houck lost $50 head, Cruz
Erazo, another fockmaster, lost
1900 head, and his loss may even
exceed that number as nearly
every animal is suffering from
the effects of the poison.
With the astounding fatalities
in these two hocks of sheep.there
was naturally suspicion that
possibly the poisoning was due
to some sinister motive, but it
seems to be the opinion Of the
sheep men that in all probability
it is chargable toAnoxious weeds
that have developed on the
range. Word was received from
the bureau of animal industry
that a representative would be
on the ground at once to make a
complete investigation, but at
this writing no such official has
made his appearance.
That the poison weed theory is
tenable is evident from the fact
that the first flock to pass over
the trail about a month ago was
owned by Frank Lyons and he
lost about fifty head, and a few
weeks later another band owned
by Spaniard suffered a loss of
about 100 head, and then came
Mr.. Houck's loss, followed by
Eraso's, tending to prove that
the poison was growing in viru-
lence and spreading due to the
development Of the poisonous
weeds.

Last Quota to be Called.

The final fifteen per cent of the
first contingent of men drafted
for the national army will be
called to the training camps some
time in November.
This information, which is of
extreme interest to many people
of Arizona, as we'll as all over
the country. and concerning
which there have been scores of
inquiries during the past few
weeks, was received yesterday
by Colonel Fred S. Breen at the
state house in telegram from
Provost Marshal General Crow
der at Washington.
Although no definite date for
the call for these last men of the
first contingent was set in the
telegram received yesterday,
nevertheless the information that
such call would be issued was
reasonably accurate and probably
will be followed in few days
by the official order calling the
final fifteen per cent to the
colors.
The delay in the issuing of the
call for the last of this contingent
was explained in the telegl am to
Colonel Breen by reason of the
unpreparedness of some of the
cantOnments to care for the men.
However, the camps now are
ready and the call may be ex-
pected in short time.
To complete the fifteen per cent
for Navajo county about fifteen
men will be called, and notices for
examination will probably be sent
out by the local board within a
short time, or as soon as official
notice is received as to the date
for the entrainment of the men
for the cantOnment.

Mystic Shriners.

Word has been received that
Ell Zaribah Temple at Phoenix
will hold a convocation in that
city Nov. 18th, to confer the
sublime and sacred degrees Of
the Mystic Shine on a large class
of noviates. With the reduced
rates on the railroad, and the add
ed attraction of the state fair,
it is expected that this will be
one of the largest foregatherings
of the faithful ever assembled at
the Shrine. The unregeners tie
sons of the desert Wilds will be
herded in and branded according
to the ancient and honorable Gus
tom, and zem-Zem and camel S

Alleged Embezzler.

R. A. Clampitt, the assistant
postmaster at Bisbee for the
past eighteen months, has been
arrested on a charge of embezzl-
ing $4,000 from postofice funds.
Clampitt resigned his Office Nov.
1st, and it is charged he appro-
priated two shipments of cur
rency made the last four days of
his incumbency. A fellow who
can hold a public office eighteen
months and get away with $4,000
would made an ideal leader for a
great reform movement to purify
the old parties.

competent engineer, and has
earned the thanks of Winslow

New Mexico Goes Dry.

The partial returns from the
election in New Mexico, held
Tuesday, indicate that the prohi-
bition amendment has carried by
a good safe majority. Under
the provisions of the amendment
it does not become operative
until October, 1918, so northern
Arizona will still for another
year be the active field for the
Gallup bootleggers. There is a
satisfaction in knowing, however,
that the days of this vicious
criminal element are numbered,
and Judge Sapp should add to
their grief by making it the
established rule of his court to
send all convicted bootleggers to
jail for eighteen months here
after, so that prohibition will be
effective in the neighboring state
by the time they are released.
