Friends of Mrs. Walter Douglas will be sorry to learn of her father, Dr. Robert Bell, D. Sc (Cam.), F. R. S. at Rathwell, Manitoba on June 18th following a paralytic stroke. Mrs Douglas who was in California left immediately for Winnipeg where the funeral took place on the 23rd.
 One of the Winnipeg papers. in com. menting on the death of Dr. Bell, prints the following:
 In the passing of Dr. Robert Bell Canada loses one of the most noted men of science. Formeriy director of the Canadian geological survey, his labors in this field of research, have won for him the highest honors. in cluding a fellowship in the Royal so. ciety, the patrons gold medal of the Royal Geological society and the Gull lom gold medal of the American Geo logiacl society, which was conferred upon Dr. Bell in 1907, the first time that it had ever been received by any other than an American citizen. The Bell river, a west branch of the Not taway, is officially named after him.
 He was medical officer. naturalist and geologist of the Neptune expedi- tion in 1884 and of the Alert expedi- tion in 1885 to Hudson Strait and Bay, was also geologist of the Diana expedition in 1897, when he surveyed the south coast of Baffin Land, and penetrated to the great lakes of its interior.
 He acted as royal commissioner on the mineral resources of Ontario in 1888. For his geological work in the north the university of Cambridge conferred upon Dr. Bell the degree of doctor of science (honoris cause). As most of his explorations were through country quite unknown, Dr. Bell was obliged to name a vast number of rivers, islands, capes. bays and lakes, and he has indeed, been called ''the

ARKANSAS IS KEEPING CLOSE TABS ON WORK
 ON JEROME PROPERTY

JEROME, June 30.-For the purpose of making an investigation of various Verde district properties. particularly the Arkansas & Arizona, J. NJ. Tow mes, leading broker of Little Rock Arkansas. arrived in Jerome last week He went to the 1640-foot level of the A. & A. with Superintendent w. H Galligan, and watched the daiamond drill bite into the schist.
 People here in Jerome do not re- alize the tremendous interest in Ar kansas & Arizona which exists down in my country, or the eagerness with which we await the arrival of the Jerome News" remarked MT. Townes the other evening. "A majority of the stock that is held outside the Good rich-Lockhart syndicate, which has control, is owned in Arkansas. Peo. pie who never bought any other min ing stock hold thousands of shares of Arkansas & Arizona and seize upon every scrap of information they can secure about developments at the property

 Scores of A. & A. stockholders come to my office to read the Jerome News. Many call up and demand that anything in the News about A. & A. be read to them over the telephone. There is one girl who does little else for two days every week but repeat over the telephone the News stories on A & A.

Further evidence of Studebaker de- pendabilitv is shown by the popularity of Studebaker cars in California, where people test and prove their cars by con- tinuous service every day in the year and where there are more Studebakers regis tered than any car selling at over $500.
 In Detroit where 80%o of all cars are made, where thousands of people are directly connected with the industry, where they know the materials and work manship that go into cars and the organ izations behind them there are more Studebakers registered than any other car selling at over $500.
 The foregoing is proof that people who know cars from service rendered and people best equipped to judge automobile values prefer Studebakers
 There could be no better guide than this for you in purchasing your car.
 More than 300,OOO Studebaker cars in every part of the world have made good in the hands of their owners-as yours will make good for you.

The sturdy quality, the splendid value, the proven dependability and durability of the present models will be continued
 Studebaker daily sales continue to show that the public is quick to recognize, and always to give its support to an honest, well made product, the value and service of which have been proven in actual rer formance.
 Their power, their easy riding fca lures, their freedom from trouble have made Studebaker cars leaders in every part of the country where automobiles are subjected to the hardest use.
 The most recent proof of their dura- bility is the performance of two Stude- baker cars taken directly from dealers stock on the trip of the San Francisco Ad Club to the recent St. Louis convention.
 Both these Studebaker cars came over the snow filled passes of the Rocky noun tains, through seas of hub deep gumbo mud on the Western Plains and finished in perfect running condition.

ANOTHER DRAFT
CALL PROBABLE

Advices from Washington indicate
that there will be large deficiency Of
men in the national or draft army
when the last quota reaches their re.
spective cantonments and has been
mobilized.
There are seventeen national guard
divisions that must be brought up to
war strength and several service
corps to be organized, all of which
men must come from the drafted
forces. Sixteen national army diyi
sions must be formed and II is doubt
ful IL there will be sufficient men re-
naming TO form these divisions and
maintain the national forces up to full
war strength. -...
The national guard probably
brought into service not more than
3OO, 900 men. II will take, therefore,
at least $4,000 national army men 10
hll up the guard divisions. Another
I .OOO. 900 will be needed for the aerial
service and as many more lot the
special service corps. This will not
leave more than 100000 men to form
the above mentioned sixteen national
army divisions. which should have ar
aggregate strength of $4,000.
II can readily be seen. therefore
that approximately $4,000 more mer
will be called and examined for The
draft forces. and while Secretary o
War Baker has not absolutely decided
upon decisive course OF action, It II
believed that another call will b
made and sufficient men examined
and forwarded to complete one o
tho greatest and most efficient arinie
that the world has ever seen.

BIC GAME IS
POSTPONED
Rain Prevents Third Game of
World Series; Bettors
Favor Chicago

NEW YORK. Oct. 9.-The third
game OF the worlds series. which was
to have taken place in New York this
afternoon. has been postponed on &C.
count Of the rain. The storm began
last night and ceased, but before four
this morning IL started again, making
the field too heavy for playing. A
slight drizzle at a. IN. made the
weather prospects uncertain for the
game. as the air was cold and the
wind came from the northeast.
The police and polo ground guards
said that all night the crowd was the
smallest that has waited up for the
worlds series game in years. At mid
night only hundred men and boys
were lined up along the fence await.
ing admission to the big game.
BY nine o'clock. despite the damp.
ness. lines stretched up and down the
streets and around the grounds. Spec.
ulators asked thirty-fve dollars for
one set OF tickets to all three games.
The attendance is expected TO be
about thirty eight thousand with stand
ing capacity.
While the betting favors Chicago
from two TO Ave, the Giant followers
seem optomistic. The opinion seemed
TO be that Cicotte or Russell will pitch
for Chicago. with Sallee or Benton
for New York. The lineup is the same
as II was Sunday.
The games scheduled in New York
for today and tomorrow will be played
he.I tomorrow and Thursday. Fri,
do, :, game at Chicago will be moved
to Saturday and in case a sixth game
Is necessary II will be played In New

GETS SIX MONTHS

Charley Steninger. better known as
Chick" was given Jail sentence
this morning by District Judge Taber
OF six months. He was charged with
assaulting Pierce Wore with deadly
weapon at the latter's cabin.
According TO Mr.. Wore, Steninger
had been stopping at his (Vore's)
place during the latter's absence. On
his return he ordered Steninger out.
and on the night OF the assault when
he went home Steninger was there
and attacked him with what appeared
TO Mr. Vore TO be a rife. To ward
off the blow Mr.. Wore threw up his
right arm and the blow broke It be
tween the wrist and the elbow.
The original charge was a state pri
son offense, but II was reduced with
the understanding that Stoninger
would plead guilty.
The action of the officers will meet
with general approval as he has rela
