COTTON HITS NEW
SEASONS RECORD
Advance Due to Covering and
Nervousness Over Crop
Outlook.

The cotton market showed increasing
strength yesterday, with prices making
new high records for the movement and
season. October contracts we're relatively
firm. selling up to 31.5s. or III points
above the closing prices Of Thursday and
prevailing shortly before the publica-
ton of the last Government report. That
delivery closed at 31.53 and the general
list closed firm at a net advance of
SO to lis points.
This advance reflected increasing ner-
vousness over the new crop outlook and
covering by people who had sold earlier
In the week hoping for a break in the
southwestern drouth. No further pri-
vate reports were Issued, but the de-
tails Of one of Thursdays reports point
ing to a crop indication Of 12.900, 900
bales may have been a factor. although
the market seemed to be mainly In
fluenced by the weather news and the
continued absence of hedge selling 1t
seemed that the recent somewhat I'M
settled and showery conditions in Texas
had passed over without adequate relief
from the drouth. At any rate yester-
days details showed generally clear
weather. while the forecast was dry and
there were rising temperatures in the
Eastern belt.
Tho market opened steady at I'M
changed prices to an advance OF s
points, and soon sold % to 40 points
net higher on buying, which seemed to
come partly from foreign sources. There
was enough realizing at this level to
cause moderate reactions, but the mar
ket firmed UP during the afternoon and
became more active. The recent buying
by trade interests seemed to have left
comparatively few contracts around the
ring, and stop orders were uncovered on
the advance which carried the active
months 100 to Ill points net higher
Closing prices were within . or points
OF the best
1t is reported that the British Ship
ping Board has allotted ocean freight
room for about 100000 bales for ship
ment during September. This compared
with an allotment of $50. 900 bale space
last year, but was considered encourag-
ing when compared with recent figures
Exports for the day were 25.424 bales,
making 1902 so far this season,
against 1904 last year. Southern
spot markets as officially reported were
unchanged to one cent higher with
Memphis and the Southwestern markets
relatively firm.
The week end figures of the New York
Cotton Exchange follow: Weeks into
sight 66.490. against $3.50 last year
and for the season 126,S2S, against 1884,
200 last year. General visible supply
2,es0,59l, against 2,5S9.s5s last year ;
visible supply American 1.S54.o91,
against l.275,65S last year; increase in
general visible 26,941. against a decrease
Of 1926 last year: decrease in visible
American 52.059. against 52,059 last
year: spinners takings for the week

PICKED INTO MISSED HOLE
 CHARLES s. BAILEY INJURED

Charles s. Bailey, a we'll known miner, was seriously injured by pick ing into a missed hole in the bottom of the Berkeley shaft, 25 miles east of Yucca, last Tuesday morning. The ex- plosion was of such force that it fill ed his body with small particles of rock and one large piece had been driven deep into the flesh and muscles of his thigh. Another small piece of rock was forced upward toward the abdominal cavity, while others skin ned up face and body.
 Dr. Todt was called to the mine and made the trip in three hours. He re- lieved the injured man as much as it was possible, and the following day he was taken into Yucca and sent to the hospital in Los Angeles where he will have the rock taken from the most vital part of his anatomy. Bail ey had been suffering from pleurisy, and the malady accentuated his in jury. If the wounds do not become infected the injured man will soon be back on the job.

Campbell Colter

The various amendments and pro- positions on the ballot with the ex- ception of the compensation law ap- pear to have been carried.
 The anti-gambling amendment and the characterization laws had a close shave, but they have been carried by a few hundred majority.
 The legislative districting bill has carried by about 4,000.
 The bill reviving capital punishment has been carried by approximately 5000 majority. The heavy vote in favor of this bill was undoubtedly caused by the increase of horrible murders throughout the state in the past several months, bringing force ably to the attention of the voters the necessity of some deterrant force to prevent the taking of life.
 Under the new law, which is res toration of the contract system, the state and counties can contract road and other work. Under the present law all work of a municipal character must be done by days pay.
 The land bills, which give the state land commission the right to lease a greater acreage of land and providing for the sale of the school and other lands, were carried. Under the terms of the bills the state may sell or lease large tracts of land to cattlemen or others. The old law only allowed cat tlemen to lease a section, which was of really no benefit to cattlemen, as the usual section would not feed more than four or five head of cattle. While the new law will not impede homesteading it will enable cattlemen to make permanent improvements on the leased lands with safety.
 It is improbable that contest will grow out of the governorship contest, the democrats prefering to allow the official count to stand.

M0HAvF COUNTY AGAIN .
 GOES OVER THE T0P.
United War Work Campaign receives Oversubscription here--Arizona first
 State in the Union to Make Quota.

The United War Work Campaign went over the top in Mohave county in the usual excellent style despite the fact that the influenza epidemic was at its zenith in most places through cut the county. -.-...
 The total amount subscribed was approximately $650O or about $500 over the quota. .t..... Allen E. Ware. chairman for Mo have county in speaking of the drive said, q wish to heartily thank the committees for their unstinted cooper ation and the people of Mohave county for the cheerful manner in which they gave for this great work. Mohave county lived up to her reputation in spite of the large amount of sickness throughout the county" ..
 Arizona was the first state in the Union to make it's quota and at the last report had the second highest ,oversubscription in the United States.
 Of course Arizona will get her name on two of the honor huts which will follow the Army of Invasion into Germany. Each of the first twelve State Chairman Norman Carmichael honor. ......... ...
 The nation as a whole made it's quota.
 County Chairman Allen Ware re- ,oeived the following telegram from State Chairman Norman Carmichal, congratulating Mohave county:
 Allen E. Ware, county Chairman of
 Kingman, Ariz.
 "I have just received the campaign results and hasten to congratulate you and your committees upon the splendid showing made by your county an evidence not only of the efficiency of your organization and the mag nificient efforts of it's members, but also of the generous response of your people. Such individual enthusiasm and cooperative effort throughout the state has resulted in placing Arizona among the very first states of the Un- ion in point of accomplishment and has won for her two honor huts. The people of Arizona have certainly made it evident to our boys over there that they take lively interest in their welfare and are ready to support them to the limit unti they return home. For them I thank you

LONG DISTANCE TRAVELED
 BY MOHAVE COUNTY BALLOTS

Possibly noeother county in the state, or for that matter in the United States, has so remote voting precincts as has Mohave. Moccasin and Short Creek, in the north part of the coun- ty and Keohan's ranch in the south part. To reach Keohans ranch ballots are shipped out by way o fCalifornia to Cadiz, thence easterly to Bouse, and over the narrow guage railroad to Swansea, thence to the ranch by mes senger, total distance of more than 300 miles. The ballots, to reach Moe casin or Short Creek have to go by way of Ludlow, California, over the Salt Lake to Modena, thence by stage to St. George and by messenger to the precincts, a distance of about 800 miles. Returning the ballots have to make the same distance to reach the county seat.
 Mono county, California, had the distinction of being the most isolated county in the United States from the state capital, but it's precincts were close in to the county seat.

(. N. N|CkELL PASSED
 AWAY THIS MOANING

Hearts of Kingman people were bowed down this morning by the un- timely death of our beloved and es- teemed citizen, c. N. Nickell.
 Death came unexpectedly at about 5 a. m. MT. Nickell suffered an at tack of influenza several days ago and this later developed into pneumonia. He was seemingly on the road to re- covery when suddenly a turn for the worse was taken and in short time life had passed.
 Charles Nickell was highly esteem ed by all who knew him. An excell- ent citizen and a man of sterling char acter, he made friends readily. It seems but yesterday that Charlie as he was known to his friends, in his cheerful manner was greeting us on the streets of Kingman. Now he is gone but in our memories he lives.
 The deceased was a native of Mis- souri having been born there October 2, 32 years ago. He was in the mer- cantile business there and later in Ok lahoma, coming to Kingman about 8 years ago, where he has since been en- gagged in business.
 Funeral arrangements have not yet been definitely made. Relatives in California and in the east have been communicated with and final plans will not be made until they are heard from,

DENOUNCES LIBERTY BONDS--
 NOW FACES CRAVE CHARGE

Alleging that they had made dis loyal remarks about our government and had denounced the war loans, Uni ted States Deputy Marshal Fred C.. Weage, of Phoenix, Wednesday last took into custody J. M. Russell and A. w. Kellogg, of Chloride. MT Russell was formerly postmaster at Chloride and was removed from that office on the ground that he was not loyal to the government, in that he had spoken against the liberty loans as graft. The men were taken before United States Commissioner Anson H. Smith and bound over for hearing in the sum of $5,000 bail. The hearing will come up in Kingman Monday morning. A number of witnesses have been sub- poenaed from Chloride for the hear ing.
 The complaint against Kellogg all leges that in the month of August, 1918, he made the following remarks in the presence of witnesses:
 After the war is over every bond will be repudiated; they will never pay the interest on them let alone the principal. The idea of any one sit ting in Washington and telling me what to put in my coffee. The Ger man people are the best people that ever came to this country; they are the best people it has today and have done more for it than anyone else."
 Russell is alleged to have said, and at time when he was postmaster at Chloride:
 Liberty Bonds are absolutely rot ten graft. We have no business being in the war"

State of Arizona. Executive Department

The President of the United States has, in accordance with the National Custom, designated the twenty-eighth day of November as day of thanks giving and prayer.
 As the President has pointed out, never in this generation has the day been really significant. This Nation entered upon it's great task with all the courage of a solemn purpose. None of us dared to hope for such speedy termination of our task. In every home that has the Service Flag, whether the star be one of blue or gold, Thanksgiving will have mean ing that it never possessed before. We approach this Thanksgiving Day safe in the knowledge that the great est gifts of God, Liberty and Justice, still prevail on earth.
 Therefore, I, Geo. w. P. Hunt, Gov ernor o fthe State of Arizona, do pro- claim Thursday, November twenty eighth, nineteen eighteen, Thanks giving Day in the State of Arizona, and ask that the day be observed as holiday in accordance with our nat ional traditions.
 In Witness Whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
 Dated at Phoenix, the Capitol, this 18th day of November, A. D. 1918.
