AN EXPLANATION THAT
 FAILS TO ENLIGHTEN
rFror1 Wednesdays Daily.)

PHOEN1X, April H.-Thc State fair commission, stung by the public flashing administered to it by Gov ernor Campbell for entering into what he termed an ''unconscionable" contract against his expressed written warning not to do so, has come for ward with an alleged explanation of its conduct, which is conspicuous for the fact that it does not explain.
 Moreover, the explanation contains a frank confession that the fair com mission has been unable to prevent hand book making in the fair grounds "a direct violation of the States anti gambling laws.
 The removal of Commissioner Wood was followed by the issuance Of statement by the fair commission, disclosing a resolution incorporated in the minutes of the meeting of April /, which is as follows:
 WHEREAS, pernicious hand book making has prevailed during the con- duct of running horse races had at all Arizona State fairs in the past, which said hand book-making was impos- sible to stop, and
 WHEREAS, there has been collu- sion on the part of running horse owners, to the extent of rendering all purses offered by the Arizona State fair commission practical donations to said owners, instead of prlZe mon- cys to best horses, as was intended, and
 WHEREAS, the above pcrnicious conditions are impossible of climina- ton, except under properly regulated race meets held under New York Jockey Club rules, and the Pari-Mu- tuel machines, and
 WHEREAS. Mir. C. D. Boyce has expressed willingness to enter into a contract sufficiently safeguarded against all fraud in the conduct of horse race meetings,
 NOW THEREFORE Be Ii Re solved: That the present Arizona State fair commission enter into a contract with Mir. C. D. Boyce in ac- cordance with the following terms, conditions and form, to-wit:

It re- fers to the revenue the State fair would receive from a race meet, but fails to mention the fact that Gov ernor Campbell. implicitly believing that the majority of the people of Arizona do not want legalized form of race track betting, vetoed the pari mutuel bill passed by the last legisla- ture.

ment made up completely of Arizon- ans have been left unsaid This situ- ation will be remed;ed from this time on, and the public especially that branch of 1t available for military ser vice will be apprised of the First Ari- zona infantry and it's doings con tinually.
 So far the recruiting stations and the officers in charge of them are as follows; Phoenix. Captain Oscar F. Temple: Globe district. Captain Joe F. Noble: Douglas, Lieutenant Morris Bleme: Florence, Captain s. O. Thompson: Prescott, including Clark dale and Jerome. Captain J. B. Ne1- son; Flagstaff, including Holbrook, Williams. St. Johns. Snowflake, King man, Captain r. L. LeBaron: Yuma, Lieutenant Drew Bailey; Tucson, Lieutenant C. A. Merserve, Private Kenneth Parkinson has been detailed for service around Mesa and reports to Captain Temple: Sergeant Edwin \. Sherman has been detailed to Casa Grande, and Sergeant T.. II. Hartor is at Ray, both of them reporting 10 Captain Thompson al Florence.
 Up to this good hour Globe, which has not the distinction of a company organization in the regiment has fur nished the largest number of recruits with the Phoenix office second Re gently no report has been received from the officers looking after the re- cruiting in the Bisbee district-that work being done directly under the supervision of Lieutenant Colonel Donkersley who is commanding the regiment.
 However it is now definitely estab- lished that there is a sentiment in the State that would sooner see the regi- ment recruited 10 full strength by volunteering rather than by waiting for the draft.
 There is this advantage also in join ing the First Arizona infantry and that is promotion will be more rapid and the opportunities greater with this regiment than with any other be- cause of the fact that the regiment has not only seen years service al ready, but because of the number of men desired to complete the war strength of the regiment Non-com- missioncd officers will be needed when the complement is filled, and the service obtained between this present time and the time of the Fed eral call for volunteers or the Fed eral order for draft, will count to a recruits advantage. Green men arc not often promoted, but experienced men are. Get experience before the order for draft comes.

ENROLMENT OF ABLE
 BODIES IS STARTED
(Fiom Fridays Daily.1

The stalwart sons of favapai arc enrolling in the available" list oi able-bodied men for military service in or out of Arizona. Under County Assessor (. E. Gentry, deputies have been appointed. and have got in ono iull days work in Prescott and near by towns. Not a single refusal to livulgc all required data, has been met, though at Humboldt, the nature of the registration had to be rather minutely detailed to some residents oi foreign birth.
 C. II. Hinderer is in immediate been divided as in voting precincts, with one man to precinct. Twenty one deputies have been selected for work in the rest of the county
 Not all have accepted the jobs of- fcred, as 1t takes some time for notifl- cation to reach the outlying precincts.
 Gentry estimates that Prescott can be registered inside of two weeks, at the rate of speed developed by the assessors crew yesterday. Fol the rest of the county, owing to the dis tances to be covered and the sparse ness of the population, it may take three or four weeks.
 Delays in getting started were due to the fact the registration blanks were sent here in care of the county recorder, and stored in that office for eight days, without investigation oi their contents. Gentry was busy in Jerome, and phoning every day to learn if the blanks had been received When finally smoked out, the organi- zation was effected and the work started with all the speed that could be mustered.
 Prescott is allotted as follows: Northeast, T. O. Maxwell; North. west, Wm. Poulson: Southeast, w. L. Dustin; Southwest. E. F. Bowers.
 F. A. Robinson is in charge of the work at Humboldt, McCabe. Dewey, Henrietta, Cherry Creek and Yaeger. ]. II. McMichaels has Mayer, Stod dard, Turkey, Cordes, Canyon and Bumblebee.
 Phoenix has had about l2 days start on Prescott, and the men there are rapidly finishing their work. They arc aided by the fact that their terri tory IS not spread out-the popula- ton living close to well defined cen tcrs. It will probably be two months before the data, checked and tabu- lated. can be handed to Governor Campbell.
 Here. the four city deputies assist each other by registering every man they find. and at night, turning him over to the man assigned to the vot- ing precinct. In this way. duplica- ton is avoided. Yavapai county depu- ties are to be paid at the rate of 20 cents per name. The lists are being made out in triplicate and carry the name, age, residence address, mar ried or single. and if foreigner, his The fact of previous experience is also being re- corded, so that data on the county will be the most complete of any of the IA

STATE IS VERY WET,
 RESULT OF STORMS
(From Thursdays Daily)

Beginning with the wind storm Easter day, the unsettled weather grew, spread and changed character, until now, it is learned that the storm was one of the most general eXperi- cnccd in the West this year. Hardly a township in and west of the Rocky Mountains but shared the disturbance, either receiving rain, snow or big blow.
 Practically all Arizona is wet The north portion received heavy rains and snows. Flagstaff got "A inches Of snow. Crown King experienced one of the heaviest rains in many years. Up on the Senator divide. there IS a blanket of 50 inches of snow Warm temperatures and rain following inc snow, turned the mois- tnrc into millions of rivulets. The creeks are booming along banks full, and down south. the rivers are all rising. The Verde river, measured at Granite Reed dam, where that stream enters the Salt, showed l4,0O0 second feet, the highest ii has measured this Winter
 Cattle and sheep men are rejoicing over the wctness, for it means q quick, forced and abundant crop of range grass and millions of dollars to them. The run-ofT from Granite creek as a result of this frcShct will probably fill Lake Watson to its capacity at once. Granite creek was running banks full through Prescott ycster- day. and when the deeper snow up in the hills molts. will increase the flow.
 The streets began drying yesterday as the snow went off and the water began to be confined to the guttcrs The sun came out and warmed things up considerably
 Faircr weather is expected within the week
 Communication Cut.
 One effect of the storm was to dis able most of the telephone lines throughout Navapai county. Within l2 hours after the snow commenced, tclephonic communication was to be had only with Humboldt and Mayer. The Jerome lines, those to Phoenix and to the north, were all broken by the weight of snow on the wires These have been partially repaired by special crews which have been rushed to work from every available station.
 The combined rain and snowfall in Crown King, according to unofficial figures, was eight inches since the first of the week.
