DULL TIMES? NoNsENsEI

The authorized statement cor,ef: from Washington that France i. ready to spend $1O,OOO,0O0,O 1000 in ;re United States for goods of all k'nds. manufactured and in the raw stys, }. French economists and governw rn- officials estimate that no less than that will suffice to rebuild the de- vastated sections of their country re- plenish their depleted stocks of all sorts and enable their own indus tries to resume normal production.
 That is about twice the amount of our total export trade in these abnor. nal war years. The needs of France alone would keep all the factories and workshops in the United States busy for many months to come. And France is only one of many countries that need our goods and will insist on having them.
 As for domestic markets, their de mands, too, will be greater than ever as soon as the readjustments of peace are we'll started. The Building Age of New York estimates that 100000 new residences are needed right now in this country. That is only one item in the long list of unprecedented economic needs that must be sup. piled.
 What sane man can read such facts as these and expect dull times?- Bisbee Ore.

OFFICIAL COUNT GIVES CAMPBELL
 BIG MAJORITY
Gain of Three Votes Made for Golfer in This County When Official Can vass Is Made-Initiative Proposi- tions Submitted Probably Carried Except Compensation

The Board of Supervisors was in session on Monday last for the pur- pose of making the official canvass of the votes cast in this county at the General election on November 5th, last.
 There were some slight changes in the official count but the corrections made were not sufficient to materi- ally alter the result as announced of ficially.
 Hon. Fred T. Colter gained three additional votes, the final canvass showing that the Democratic candid ate received 1159 votes in this county and Hon. Thos. B. Campbell, his Re publican opponent, received 7S6. Arthur Slaughter, Democratic can didate for Sheriff, received the most votes of any candidate on the ticket, the total vote cast for sheriff being 1905. Uncle" Ben Crawford, for Clerk of the Court, was close sec ond, his total vote being 1903.
 In canvassing the votes cast in Clifton Precinct No. 1 for Govner the Board discovered that the tally sheets showed that 572 votes had been cast for Governor in this precinct, while the poll list only showed 556 names as voted, a discrepancy of 16 votes between the tally and poll list. In tabulating the returns from this pre- cinct the Board counted the votes as shown by the tally sheet and made a notation of the discrepancy on their minutes for future reference in the event of a contest.
 With official returns reported by the clerks of the boards of supervisors for every county in the state except Mari copa, which has not completed its count, and using the unofficial figures given by the clerk of the board upon returns made to him in that county, Thomas E. Campbell's majority over Fred T. Colter is BPS. Allowing for a gain of eight that Campbell has made in the Maricopa returns over those originally given by the clerk Camp bells majority is 336.
 The original figures given by Clerk Standage, as received by him, gave Campbell a majority in Maricopa coun ty of 2791. Some slight variance, shown in the inspection this morning, would increase this to 2799, which would make Campbell's majority 336.
 Almost Complete Returns.
 Following is the official vote in all of the counties, except Maricopa, in which the unofficial majority is given: County Golfer Campbell

News was received here last week just after we had gone to press that Philip Allen, son of MT. and Mrs. Dink Allen, of Ebert, had been killed in action in the front in France in the battle on October 9th. He was from Throckmorton county, but was well known to many of our people, es- pecially in the northern and western part of the county.
 Phillip Allen, according to the re- ports, is the third boy from Throck- morton to pay the supreme price for liberty. He has brother in the front lines, we are informed, and there was a report circulated here ther first of the week that he also had been killed, but so far this seems to have been unfounded.
 Philip Allen is a nephew of MT. and Mrs. R. w. Simpson of this city and they are just in receipt of the sad news.

Totals .20,611 Campbell's majority 336.

nofficial-Campbells majority.
 The most surprising feature of the official returns is the heavy vote on the various propositions submitted to the people and the probability that all of them have carried, with the excep- tion of the Workmen's Compensation act which was overwhelmingly defeat ed everywhere. It was expected that the legislative districting bill would fall behind in the large democratic counties and that the propositions to restore capital punishment and to re- store the public contract system would suffer in the large mining coun- ties. But these propositions, as well as the bills, amending the land laws, carried in all those counties.
 It curiously happened that the close and northern county of Coconino was the only one of the seven to express general disapprobation of the submit ted measures, though it voted for the restoration of capital punishment.
 Vote in Seven Counties.
 The following is the total vote on these measures in the seven counties:
 Legislative districting, Yes, S5SS; No, 5693.
 First land bill, 104-1O5: Yes, 6,67s; No, 5,361.
 Second land bill, 1O6-1O7: Yes, 5,797; No, 5,737.
 Restoration public contract system: Yes, 6,277; No, 5,727.
 Restoration capital punishment: Yes, S,902; No, 6,053.
 Anti-vaccination bill: Yes, 7,52f: No, 7,347.

NOTICE TO PATRONS OF
 THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Schools will reopen on Monday morning, December 2nd. The en- forced closing of the schools on ac- count of the influenza epidemic for period of two months has created problem which the Board of Trus- tees has had to reckon with. The problem is not simply one of making up lost time, hour for hour, but also of affording to each pupil time and op- portunity for completing years work and equipping himself for the work of the next higher grade. h order to furnish such time and op- portunity it has been decided to con duct school on Saturdays for three or four months, to allow but minimum of holidays, and to prolong the school year for at least two weeks.
 In arranging the hours for Satur- days due consideration will be given for the age and physical condition of children and an effort will be made to confine most, if not all, of the work to forenoons on that day
 The Board of Trustees and teaching force will appreciate the active inter- est and cooperation of the public in making the maintenance of regular school on Saturdays a complete sue cess.

Even though Congress might decide

are already occuried.
The House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds will meet jan

little remains to be done before the
project is completed. sentiment is now
very strong in favor of the buildings
being continued to be useI to house
government employees. The Housing
Corporation is making every effort in
this direction. Applicants crowd the
Offices of the corporation daily in the
effort to obtain rooms, which is con-
sidered a good reason for Congress
to go ahead and allow the buildings
10 be used for the purpose for which
they were originally intended.

stand what they mean. AS to the
freedom of the seas, there may be
some vagueness, but that grows out of
the fact that no satisfac Glory definition
has ever been evolved on that point
by any body. The president is pre-
serving a wise measure of reticence,
so as not to tell the enemy all he hopes
to do nor how he hopes to do it. That
would be poor strategy"
on this point Senator Hitchcock
called attention to the fact that when
the fourteen peace terms were first
enunciated there was no adverse
comment, but much that was favor
able. The assumption rightly follows
that the terms were accepted by the
American people as an expression OF
their views and so long as President
Wilson stays within those fourteen
terms, I don't see that he will be do

London, Dec. 3.-Kurt Eisner, the

here by the way of Amsterdam, Cop

dispatch says that Eisner was Kissed
by his own partisans at Munich dur

ing soldiers. Later supporter of
Eisner was not allowed to make a
speech and was obliged to flee from
an angry crowd which removed the
red flags along the streets and storm

ing:
Down with Eisner." Guards fired
over the heads of the crowd, which
dispersed. A Berne dispatch to the
Mail says it is believed that Bavaria
is gradually reaching a conclusion to
retain its unity with the rest of Ger
many rather than seeking a separate
peace" This message also reports evil
dences of growing hostility toward
Eisner. adding that there are signs in
Munich that a crisis is approaching
and that action favoring some form
of monarchy may be taken within
three weeks.
