Dickerson fol- lowed with, "Tell us at once where your money is to go, as you are not going to live long," Then followed, in answer, the shortest will on record: 'Tt will be turned over to Alice Dick erson. (Signed) Frank Hull"

l. W. WIS SEND OUT
 CALL FOR A REVOLT

Two I. w. w. circulars bordering upon crime against the espionage law, which by the way is still in force, have been sent out from Phoenix lately. One of them calls upon the brethren to rise in revolution, but whether a bloody or bloodless revolu- ton, IS not stated. The other pro- poses that the government be seized, presumably by peaceful means, and converted to the uses of the l. w. w,
 Mention is made that the workers Hungary and Germany, and that even great world movement. 1t is pointed out that the bolsheviki have taken control in Russia, that they are pre- pairing to do so Tn Rumania, Austria Hungary and Germany, and that tven in Africa the negroes are rising against the ruling class. It was time, therefore, that something be done in the United States.
 The old order cannot be permitted. No longer shall a freeman be told wages he shall receive for his labor. wagts he shall receive for his labor. He must receive the full product" of his labor. Those who do not work must not eat.
 There are other things that must be done before the l. w. w. can point to the arrival of the millinium. The cir cular especially declares that this can not be called free country so long as men are serving from 10 to 20 years in jail for protesting against conditions as they exists. This refers no doubt, to the sequestration of Brother Haywood and his companions, who are enjoying the hospitality of the government at Leavenworth.- Phoenix Republican.

FLAGSTAFF LUMBER co. BUYS 55 MILLION FEET
 OF SPLENDID TIMBER

The Flagstaff Lumber company of Flagstaff has been awarded the sale of 55,000,000 feet of western yellow pine timber on the Coconino National Forest, known as the Clark's Valley Unit. The price at which the lumber was awarded is $2.00 per thousand feet.

Ne,Os of Interest Gathered Here and There in tue State
LEE RAINBOW, SON OF
 SCOUT, DIES IN FRANCE

An official telegram from the war department, gives Nelson Rainbow, former scout of the Yuma Indian con tingent with General Miles in Indian wars in Arizona, news of the death in France of his son, Lee Rainbow, private in the United States infantry.
 The old scout received the news with characteristic Indian stoicism, turned and walked away. A little later he returned to the office of Sup erintendent Odle of the Yuma Indian school here and dictated the following to Mir. Odle for him "to keep"
 "1 came to tell you that l received the telegram telling of the death of my son. It is all right as he was killed across the waters winning the great victory for this country and I want to call you my friend. It is our custom never to mention the name of our dead relatives, but his name should be remembered and honored forever. As other people have been given to help win the great victory, l gave my son as one of the Yuma h. dians. A meeting will be called to ar range to ask for his body and to erect memorial to his memory. I want to shake hands,"
 The Yumas have already started the subscription for the monument, although the Indian hero's body will be cremated as is the tribal custom.

BOB WHITE
 IMPORTED TO VALLEY

Eighty Bob White quail, imported by State Game Warden G. NJ. Will lard from Nebraska, were liberated a few days ago on six Verde valley and Oak creek ranches.
 The quail were shipped by the state game warden of Nebraska and were consigned to R. R. Willard, brother of the Arizona warden. All arrived in good condition. It is understood that Warden Willard exchanged an equal number of Arizona quail for them.
 R. R. Willard liberated a few of the Bob Whites on his own Oak creek farm. Others were turned loose on the ranches of his neighbors, Elmer Rogers, John Hurst and Jim Page. Two other coveys were liberated on the c. D. Willard and w. E. Wood ruff places, near Cottonwood.
 All these ranchmen agreed to do everything in their power to keep hunters and "varmints" away from the Bob Whites and otherwise to aid the birds get start. There is a section of the state game code pro- tecting Bob Whites indefinitely and making it a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $50 to shoot one.
 The Bob White is a little smaller than the common Arizona valley quail but is probably slightly more hardy bird. The flavor of the flesh is much the same. If the Bob White has any advantage over the native quail it is that he will withstand more severe weather conditions and scratch down through fairly deep snow to find feed.-Jerome News.

NIGHT MESSAGE RATES
 FOR PACIFIC COAST

While other sections of the coun- try have always had the benefit of a reduced rate for short overnight messages without restriction, the Pa cific Coast has never had the benefit Of night message rates except to con- paratlvely nearby points. This has now been corrected by Postmaster General Burleson, who has ordered that effective January 1st a universal system of night messages at greatly reduced rates shall obtain in all parts of the country. Manager Mrs. Me Pherson of the local Western Union office advises that under the new schedule of night message rates the people of the Pacific coast will have a rate as low as 50 cents for messages of ten words to New York City and other places on the Atlantic seaboard, with an added charge of only ? cents rate has been 60 cents and cents for per word for additional words. To Chicago, where the night message each additional word, the new tariff is only 45 cents plus 2 cents for ad- ditional words, while corresponding reduction are made throughout the system. To nearby points the mini mum rate is reduced from 25 cents to 20 cents.
 There is very large and constantly increasing need for quick communica- tion across the continent, which this new system of short overnight let ters at cheap rates is well designed to meet. It should prove great boon to business interests on the Pa cific coast, by bringing them into close touch with all parts of the coun- try at very low cost.

MORE FLU AT CONCHO.

The Spanish influenza has taken a new grip on Concho, about 75 new cases developing there during the past week. Dr. Miller of Flagstaff came to Concho early in the week and is doing everything possible to stamp out the disease. He is being aided by Father Derichmont, the tireless and faithful champion of the Spanish American people. It has been due to his unfaltering efforts and grim de- termination that the influenza has not worked greater havoc in Apache county.

BUY ALL THE CHRISTMAS
 CANDY YOU WANT

Christmas candy will not bere- stricted by the food administration. Many stores, in accordance with a voluntary sugar conservation plan un- dertaken upon the initiative of the trade itself, have been refusing to sell more than one pound at time to a customer. This restriction is not re- garded by the food administration as a necessary conservation measure this holiday season, since the sugar short age has been materially relieved.
