LOCAL CATTLEME IN ; CONFERENCE SATURDAY

The Forest Service office call ed a meeting of the local cattle men Saturday afternoon, at the Sultana Theatre, for the pur- pose of securing their ideas on the closing of the gaps across the Santa Fe Railroad, which measure would divide the range into two units.
 The Forest Service feels that Ancing the gaps would be of Transferable assistance to the :. .lalockman as the cattle could --.<ot stray far from the home ranches and it would undoubt- edly cut the losses of cattle killed on the railroad. In fact. there would be no losses except when the cattle might occasion ally break through the fences.
 The loss of cattle killed by trains means a complete waste of the beef, though the railroad compensates the owner. sr
 No definite action was taken atthe meeting.
 Inspector of grazing, R. Kav- naugh of the district office at Albuquerque, N. M., was in Williams for this meeting.

Markeski have a large war garden at Red Lake and were returning from there at six o'clock, in MT. DeBold's Ford. When in front of c. E. Sweetwood's ranch a tire blew out.

He was not hurt and was able to extricate himself at once, and with the aid of c. B. Sweetwood raised the machine, releasing MT Mar keski, who was also uninjured. In few minutes the car was lighted but refused to continue the journey so was left on the roadside until next morning and then lowed to town.

SGT. RANEY LECTURES

Sergeant c. Raney: recently in active service with the Cana dian army, spoke at the Sultana Theatre last Sunday afternoon. His lecture was quite different from the usual series of hor- TOTS. He described the latest methods of attack, and many interesting phases of trench life. He had several types of gas mask with him, including the most improved respirator now in use, and as a souvenir carries a revolver which he took from a Hun. The gun still contained a number of the ex- plosive bullets favored by the Germans. Sgt. Raney has two sons in service and has lost his oldest son. He considers the American public entirely too optimistic about the war and thinks the real test of suprem- acy still ahead.

.COCON|NO LEADS STATE
 IN WAR SAVINGS DRIVE

Completed statistics from H. R.. Tritile, State Director of the War Savings Committee, show that Coconino leads every other county in Arizona, for results in the drive which ended June 18th.
 In strong letters of congratu- lations to MT. David Babbitt and MT. George H. Spellmire, MT. Tritile particularly congra- tulates the chairmen and their assistants upon the success of their organization in this coun- ty.
 There are but four of the fourteen counties of the state which have met their allot- ments at present, Of these four Coconino has pledged the lar gest amount, on per capita basis.
 The table of amounts raised shows that Coconino is over the top with a balance of $64,653:- co to count on; Gila has $2,775. more than it's allotment; Mari copa is ahead S107, ,588.OO and our neighbor, Yavapai is over to the extent of $568.OO.
 MT. Tritle states that it is going to be necessary flor each of the dependable counties to subscribe more than it's quota, if Arizona is to meet it's full al- lotment, and he is convinced that Coconino can be depended upon to that end.

 June 26-1S The Williams Red Cross,
 Williams. Arizona,
 I have been asked by our bunch to express their appre- citation for the things you gave us at Williams. Every man has a warm place in his heart for Williams on your account. Es- pecially the Arizona boys. We are not the only bunch that like Williams but we talk more about it. I have heard men from other trains say they feel the same.
 Williams was the first place we were met by the Red Cross and we were a long way east before we were met by them again.
 Every man in the tenth and eleventh oversea companies send their thanks from the bot tom of their hearts. The Red Cross is surely wonderful comfort to soldiers and Will Hams will ever be in our mem ories.

HUGH E. CAMPBELL
 UP FOR REELECTION

If anyone has a kick to regis ter about the way Hugh E.. Campbell has filled the office of State Senator, the News has yet to hear that objection. While MT. Campbell has now represented Coconino County in the State Senate for four years, there is little doubt that the people of Coconino will be glad to have him fill that office for that much longer, with his consent. --
 MT. Campbell will have no opposition for the democratic nomination and it is doubtful if any republican will have the temerity to oppose him at the election in November. An able man like MT. Campbell, with four years experience in the Senate is certainly far better able to look after the interests of Coconino than a man with out that experience.
 Not only has Hugh Campbell come to be regarded as one of the strong men of the state from within, but he has come to be regarded as such from Washington as evidenced by his having recently been appointed as Arizona's representative on the Federal Wool Board. It is practically certain that MT. Hugh Campbell will be our next senator and it is probable that his service in that capacity will be terminated only when he is placed in a yet more inn portant office in the state.

BUY W. s. s. MISS IRENE BART OUT FOR COUNTY RECORDER

Miss Irene Bart has become we'll known turnout Coeonino County through her activities as Deputy County Recorder, Her friends turnout the county are pleased to learn that she is now out for that office, to sue ceed Dan Cronin who has filled the office so efficiently for three successive terms. Miss Bart, as MT. Cronin's assistant, has learned the work of the office thoroughly, and is fully compe- tent to continue the record of good service that has been es- tablished in that office during the past six years.
 It is a foregone conclusion that Miss Bart will secure the democratic nomination, as a better candidate for the office could not be secured and the feeling is general among the democrats that she is entitled to the office after the excellent service she has given as assist ant recorder.
 Miss Bart has been a resident of the county for practically her entire life, having come to the county when a child of three years. She is a taxpayer, as is her mother, with whom she resides. She will conduct an active campaign and endea- vor to meet all of the voters in the county before the Novem- Der election. The people of Coconino cannot do better than to elect Miss Bart to succeed MT Cronin in the office of County Recorder.
