The final s..irmish for tuple votes is on. and ev5ry candidate is putting her shoulder to the wheel to bring down a decisive victory before it ends. Whether or not any Of the can didates will be able to step forward with any great lead in face Of the powerful opposition of her opponents can only be told after the smoke of battle is cleared. and the advanced totals are made public on March 24
 There is no uarticular candidate to be afraid of because all are at it so heartily, that you'll have to beat them all to win--you will need every vote, so don't try to figure out just how many you ought to have. -
 If you want to be sure that you are doing just as well as any, keep at it every hour during the remaining three days of this big offer-Thurs day, Friday and Saturday. These are the big vote days, and just the period that you'll say in the end was the win ming period for you. No matter how you try to figure, you can take 1t straight" from the contest editor that this merry battle for votes is going to te the closest in the history of Arizo- ma newspaper campaigns, and just the lack or little extra eXertion of a single day may be the deciding ele- ment one way or the other.
 It is close for good reasons-tbere are three big prizes, so it is not a case of first or nothing-three cars are to be given away; then there are seven prizes of exquisite jewelry for the next seven. Therefore, no on is piking; no one is letting die the votes that gave her the splendid start, and in turn the supporters of each are standing by their nominee.
 The triple vote offer will close sharp at nine o'clock. It is by far the best offer that will be allowed during the remaining days of the contest. and while Father Time is putting keen edge on his scythe for deep cut in the big schedule, you should be getting all out of it possible before it becomes a thing of the past.

DEFUNCT MISSOURI PACIFIC |s
 bOUGOT BY KUHN-LOEb FOR SONG
CBy Review Leased wire.J )

W iAN-l
 Only Mir. Nelson and MT. Holmes qualified to bid for the roads by put ing up necessary bond. Reorganiza- tion plans already have been approv- eI by the Missouri public utilities service commission. United States Circuit Judge Hook of Leavenworth, Kansas. is expected in St. Louis early. in March to pass on the sale, which it is expected he will confirm.
 The work of winding up the receiv- erships then will be pushed, and it is predicted that by early summer the Missouri Pacific will be in the hands of the new company.
 The prices bid today were the min mum amounts acceptable to the fed eral courts. The minimum prices fixed by the court for the Kansas and Colorado Pacific is S90,sCU,O00. 70 Un- der the reorganization plan the Mis- souri Pacific is to have a total capital ization of SSS3.642, 900 and the stock Of the Missouri Pacific and the Iron Mountain is to be assessed $50 a share
 The Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain system went into reseivership in Aug ust, 1915. It is the third road to be sod at foreclosure in St. Louis in the last two years. The Wabash was sold in 1915 and the St. Louis and San Francisco in 1916. Both roads are now out of reoeivership.

 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.-The Missouri Pacific railroad and the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad were sold under foreclosure here to- ay to R H Nelson and Duncan A. Holmes, both of New York MT Neil son repTesented the reorganization committee and Mir. Holmes represent ed Kuhn, Loeb & Companyfi reorgani- zation managers.
 The sale to the Kuhn, Loeb repre- sentatives, it was stated in railway circles. marked the passage of the Gould interests from control of the Missouri Pacific system.
 The Kansas and Colorado Pacific will be sold at foreclosure at Topeka, Kansas, next Friday, presumably to representatives of the same banking firm. The three roads then will be formed into a single corporation which will operate all the Missouri Pacific lines.
 While the lines have been operated as one system for several years, the Missouri Pacific and the Iron Noun. tain had separate directors and kept separate accounts. Through it's own ership of a large block of Iron Noun tain stock, however, the Missouri Pa cific controlled, that road.
 The Missouri Pacific was sold today for $16,150,00 The Iron Mountain brought s23, $500, ,OOO.

When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the bOdy's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinSes. The urine is clOu- dy. full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good. reliable physi- clan at once Or get from your pharma- cist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for g few days and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from the acid of grape and lenon juice, com oined with lithia, and has been .3r generation ,O o4eaH aAd stimulate luggish kidneys, also to neutTalize acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates. thus ending bladder weakness.
