Personal Desires Campaign Issues.

While passing through Flag staff on Monday the editor of the Flagstaff Leader interview ed w. A. Moeur about campaign issues. In his usual epigram- matic way of expression, the state land commissioner said:
 Personal desires are the only things that have appeared in the gubernatorial race thus far that might be termed issues, so far as have observed.
 II can see no so called issues ahead of us in this campaign. We should pull together for the good of the state and the coun- try. Conditions in Arizona right now are good. Sheep, cattle and mining men are prosperous. Labor has no complaint, so far as 1 can see; neither has capital. I feel that a man who would start any trouble between en- ployers and employees at the pre- sent time would be an enemy of his country" ."-Messenger.

COUNTY COUNCILS COMPLETE

Arizona is starting in good shape on her share of the war work. County Councils of De- fense have been completed in every county, headed by the re- presentative citizens here listed:
 Apache, Herber Jarvis, Saint Johns.
 Cochise, Vance Johnson, Bis. bee.
 Coconino. Chas. T. Woolfolk, Flagstaff.
 Gila, Judge w. G. Shute, Globe.
 Graham, Frank A. Webster, Stafford.
 Greenlee, w. T. Witt, Clifton.
 Maricopa, Warren Peterson, Phoenix.
 Mohave, c. w. Lynch, King man.
 Navajo. Osmer D. Flake, Snow flake.
 Pima, Selim M. Franklin, Tue son.
 Pinal, c. w. Gorham, Flor ence.
 Santa Cruz, Jas. A. Harrison, Nogales.
 Yavapai, Miss G. M. Sparkes, Prescott.
 Yuma, Ike Proetstel, Yuma.
 Each County Council has an Executive Committee, compris- ing the chairman, secretary and treasurer and the heads of the principal committees, those on Public Defense, Production, W el- fare Work and Finance. The Defense Committee especially will guard the public safety, keeping close watch for possible reasonable actions within the county and helping in military preparation. The Production Committee has the important work of stimulating food pro- duction and securing proper bar vesting and marketing condi tions. Welfare Work deals es pecially with keeping close track of all county men in the coun- try's service and providing for their dependents, at need. The Finance Committee will have no empty honor, for funds must be provided for emergency work and maintenance of headquart- CTS.
 Now, the work is being still further subdivided into Commun- ity Councils on lines suggested by President Wilson, reaching into the school districts. In agricultural districts, such as the Salt River valley and the Gila valley, their operations un- doubtedly will be in cooperation with those of the farm bureaus already established by Univer- sity effort, with especial atten- tion to the production of food stuffS.- Guardian.

WORK LOW GRADE ORES.

The big mining companies of BiSbee have at last decided that the low grade coppers overlying the rich ore bodies of the War ren district have potential values that will make that district one of the most wonderful copper sections of the globe. The work of clearing off the overburden and getting an ocular sizing up of the ore bearing possibilities of the camp is now under way and the big mills will soon be a reality. The tonnage to be run through the mills will be above 10000 daily and will give the smelters a most desirable pro- duct to mix with the raw ores of the mines. The development of the low grade ore bodies will add thousands of men to the payroll of tbe Copper Queen and Calumet 6 Arizona and make the district one of the largest employers of miners of any camp in the world.

EXPLOSIVES REGULATIONS
O Prevent DisloYal Persons From
 Procuring Explosives.

A war measure, the intent and purpose of the Federal Explo sives Act is ITO prevent dis. loyal persons from procuring explosives or their ingredients and to keep explosives and in gradients out of the hands of persons who will not protect them carefully enough to pre- vent them from being stolen or used for unlawful purposes"
 Manufacturers, vendors, pur- chasers. importers, exporters, analysis, and foremen are the classes of licenses. In Arizona the majority of licenses issued are to vendors, purchasers, anal ysis and foremen.
 Proprietors Of hardware, gen. eral merchandise and drugstores, and contractors require vendors licenses in addition to which man who handles the explosives and issues them from the maga- zine.
 Farmers and contractors, who use explosives, proSpectors, min ing and construction companies, require purchasers's licenses and also licensed foreman un- less the original purchaser acts also in the capacity of foreman, handling all tie explosives and remaining CD the ground to issue powder and see that all unused portions are returned to the magazine. With large concerns it is obviously impossible for the original purchaser to act in the capacity of foreman.
 Thefts of powder are to be re- ported to the LicensorS, State Inspector and Director Bureau of Mines, Washington, D. c. Thefts of ores do not come un- der the jurisdiction of the State Inspector of Explosives except stolen powder be involved or used unlawfully and without a license. in which case it is to be reported to him but in any case all thefts of machinery or ores should be reported to the local officers.
 County Clerks, Clerks of Boards of Supervisors, Justices of the Peace and NotarieS Public are usually appointed licensing officers, the Director Bureau of Mines may, for enforcement of the law, utilize all federal, state and county police, such as the U. $. Marshal, county sheriffs and their deputies, and muuici pal police officers.
 Unlawfully using, selling or possessing explosives is punish able by fine not exceeding $5OOO or by imprisonment not more than one year or by both such fine and Imprisonment.

GOO in prizes has been offered to the winners of numerous con tests to be staged. The day is to be one of gala cowboy sports with racing, broncho busting, steer tying and roping, bulldog ging contests, drilling contest of miners, and claimed to be far better than ever before attempt ed in Gleeson.
 Agua Prieta has been given pel mission by the state govern ment of Sonora to sell to the public 300 barrels of bottled beer for the benefit of the school of that place. Some of the beer will be sold in the municipality of Nacozari. No date has been set for the reason that, when a date was named before the beer failed to arrive in time, and the disappointment of those who had looked forward to the foaming beverage was quite keen. This time the beer will be on hand before anything is said about selling it.
 More than 21,OOO motor vehi- cle licenses have been issued from the office of secretary of state thus far this year. They are still coming in at the rate of 50 day, and the 25, ,OOO mark is expected to be passed in a short time, according to officials of that office. The whole number of motor vehicle licenses issued in Arizona for 1917 was 19, ,842. The first order to the license plate manufacturer was for 25, GOO plates for Arizona. These will soon be exhausted, and pre- parationS have been made for a second shipment of plates.
 If Governor Hunt calls a spe- cial session of the legislature, to Dr. Howard Davis, represent alive for Pinal county, will fall the honor of introducing a bill asking that one hundred and sixty acres of state land be granted to every soldier or sailor from this state who has enlisted in the military or naval service of the United States. It was from this valley that the idea emanated that resulted in law being passed suspending the an nual assessment work on mines during the period of the war, and the glorious thought of help ing the soldier boys to get a start after the war found it's in ception here.-Casa Grande Bull letin.

Washington, April 7.-French and
British tenacity have upset the am
bilious plans of the German high COM
mand for the conquest of Picardy,
says the War departments weekly
military review, and the enemy, de-
termined to gain some sort of success
at any cost, is throwing fresh forces
into the battle in an effort to secure
limited detectives. Because of this,
the situation is expected to remain un-
certain for some time to come.
General improvement in the stra-
tegic position of the allies is noted
and the review declares that under
General Foch the allied military ma
chine is working smoothly and ef-
ficiently in stemming the German
assault.
There is no mention whatever OF
the American troops reported hurry
ing to the front to join the British
and French, though the department
again mentions that several American
transport sections have taken an
active part in the battle, and that the
American aviation service is operat,

NO GREATLOSSES,
SAYS WAR OFFICE

Washington, April 7.-Activity OF

sought to spread the idea that there
has been large casualty list among
the American forces in France, led
Acting Secretary of War Crowell to
announce today that the lists of cas-
ualties received from General PERISH
ing daily during the last four days
have been absolutely minor in num-
Der and that there has been no great
loss on our western front reported"
The casualty lists have not been
made public by the War department
pending. an Interpretation by Secre-
tary Baker, who is now in Europe, of
his recent order that all news con-
cerning the expeditionary forces must
come from General Pershing's head
quarters. Mr.. Crowell announced,
howeve that should there be a re-
port of great losses or a disaster of
any kind before Mr.. Bakers ruling is
received, the fact will not be con-
cealed, but the figures at least will be
given out Immediately.
