was empowered to turn the matter over to the license committee and the town marshal for settlement.
 A contract between the town of Flagstaff and the Santa Fe railroad, giving permission on the part of the l road for the city to run its sewer pipe lines under the tracks and prop critics of the Santa Fe, was read, and turned over to the city attorney for his approval.
 City Clerk Johnston submitted to the council tentative sewer rent or dinance. Its principal features were that the rent was to be collected from the property owners instead of from the tenants; the rates were a raise from the old rates in some cases; bills are to be paid quarterly; penalty for payment to be the turning off of water.
 A report from the license committee was read. The committee submitted a new schedule of licenses which it was hoped by the council could be modified where necessary, accepted and put into effect by the first of the year. There was no noticeable low ering of any licenses but slight raise in good many directions. Quite an interesting discussion was provoked by this report and it finally got down to a question of the funda- mental reason for taxation and li- censing, which brought the answer from one of the councilmen that the reason for this was the need for in creased revenue. The mayor said that he had been asked by some bus mess interests to put the license on their line of endeavor so high that it would keep out competition.
 A general discussion of the new sewer project showed the sense of the council to be that the work should be started and carried to completion as rapidly as possible provided way could be found to take care of it f. nancially. The most feasible plan
 suggested was the levying of an as
 sessment roll against the property : owners, the same to be a first lien against the property, the assessment warrants then to be used as security for a loan with which the work could be carried on.
 ] The street supervisor was empow- cred to construct a wooden crossing al } the intersection of Fine and N. Bea- , yer streets.
 Strenuous kicks from property owners at the corners of Humphrey 7 and Elm streets were laid before the council. The complaints alleged that the sidewalk had been constructed SC far below the level of the street that in bad weather mud and water col : lected on the walk. The mayor in. structed the clerk to enter in the 5 minutes the fact that discussion ol . the matter had taken place in counci , and that the condition would be rem, ? edied as soon as labor conditions anc r the weather permitted

TO MUSTER OUT ARIZONA
 BOYS AT CAMP TRAVIS

Arizona boys in training at Camp Cody will not be mustered out at that point, but will be transferred to Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas, where the final demobilization will take place This information was contained in an official statement issued recently, by the war department.
 Pressure has been brought to bear looking to the release of the men from this state before the abandonment of the Deming cantonment should occur For a time it appeared probable that the mastering out of the Arizona men would be accomplished before CamI Cody was vacated.
 Recently, however, Senator Ash. urst, who has been working in favor of the scheme, was advised by the wan department that the proposed ar rangement was not in accord with the plans which have been made for the transfer and discharge of the soldiers in New Mexico.
 While the decision comes as dis. appointment to many, it is not -believ. ed that under the present arrangement the discharge of the local men will be greatly delayed. The machinery oi Rehabilitation now in operation a, Camp Travis should, if anything, ia cilitate the settling of the final ac. counts and effect the release of Yht soldiers as quickly as if the work hat been done in the camp of the adjoin ing state. The removal of the troop; is now well under way.

ARIZONA FIRST IN THE l2TH DISTRICT

Telegram from San Francisco, De- cember 10th:
 Arizona First State in 18th Dis trict in Fourth Liberty Loan. Ari- zona subscribed $9,526,350 against a quota of $6,231 ,200."
 The above message will be read with interest by every citizen of Ari- zona, and especially by those earnest workers to whom belongs the credit for such a splendid record. Over 52,- 900 popular subscriptions totaled $6,- S46,35O. Large subscriptions totaled $2, 2,6SO,OOO. That part of Arizona in the 18th Federal District got together and made the splendid total of S9,- 526,350. This shows a splendid spirit of cooperation and demonstrates very effectively that Arizona will always occupy place in the lead.
 We are advised by Washington that at least one more Loan will be neces- sary. The task will not be easy, but like every other undertaking, it will be accomplished by the people of Ari. zona in such a way as to again add credit to our record.

CITY COUNCIL WILL SOON TAKE
 UP THE NEW SEWER SYSTEM

The City council held a special meeting in the city hall Monday af- ternoon. The only business to come before the meeting was the resigna- 'tion of Judge J. E. Jones as City At torney, which was accepted by the council with regret. Two applications for the vacant office were read by the clerk, one from Mercer Hemperley and one from Francis D. Crable. The vote was cast by ballot and Mir. Cra- ble was elected unanimously. It was stated by Mayor Slipher that there would be considerable work for the new incumbent in the next few months in connection with the new sewer proj- ect. It was asked by one of the mem- bers if the new official was not being elected for a special purpose or for special work and he was assured that that was understood and would be at tended to by the clerk of the council.
 Mondays Meeting.
 The City Council of Flagstaff met in regular session last Monday night in the city hall. Considerable detail business came before the body as we'll as some measures of vital inn portance to the town at large.
 Applications from G. M. Layton, S.. B. Gilliland and J. c. Milligan for the office of police magistrate were read by the clerk. Voting was done by bal lot and it required four efforts on the part of the councilmen to elect. MT. Gilliland was the successful applicant and the mayor declared him appointed
 Clerk Johnston asked permission to pay the sewer bonds interest amount ing to $1,654.25, which was granted. He was asked if he had the money on hand and replied that he had Sl,- 3OO.OO. Upon being asked if the city was making any money out of the sewer system the clerk replied that collections were behind.
 Reports of the town marshal, police magistrate and water superintendent were read and accepted. It was not ed in the report of the water super intendent that there was a dlscrep- ancy, or loss, between the reading of the large meter attached to the big water main and the totals of the readings of the commercial meters throughout the city, which amounted to approximately two million feet; It was moved by Councilman Ialaha and carried, that an investigation Dc started to find the cause and remedy for the loss.
 It was reported that the Santa Fe had been notified they must stay within their daily allowance of water A communication was read from Manager Costigan of the Orpheun theatre, asking the council to refund or to apply on future licenses the li cense money paid by the Orpheum during the six weeks the theatre wa: compelled to close because of the in fluenza.

ARIZONA BOY TELLS
 OF LIFE AS PRISONER

E. E. Ellinwood of Bisbee is in the city on legal business and will remain day or two. It will be remembered that his son Ralph, who went out with a college ambulance corps and was sent to France year ago, was miss ing on May 2s in the course of the second German drive near Soissons. For a long time no word was heard of him, but some six weeks later a cablegram from w. H. Brophy at Pa ris brought the relieving information that he was prisoner in German hands. Since then two letters have been received from him by MT. Ellin- wood, and more frequently cablegrams from Mir. Brophy bring word of him.
 Apologizing for his neglect of reg ular correspondence he stated in one of his letters he has written less ire quently because of the exigencies of a longer European tour than he had contemplated.
 He is at the prison camp of Lan- gensalza, south of Berlin and 250 miles from the western German bor- der. It was at that camp that the Germans early this month shot nine French prisoners.
 Insone of his letters he said that he was employed on farm in the day time. His companions were three Belgians, four Frenchmen and five Russians, none of whom could speak English, so that he was having a rather lonesome time. But said that he was, well treated, his food was fair and he had a good place to sleep He rather thought the Germans were getting the worst of it, for, said he: "I'm afraid I'm a bum farmer."'--- Phoenix Republican.

one evening as l was about to

boat five men were leaving it and l
noticed them cross over into the

very far before l saw what they
We're after. They were committing
the common but heinous crime of
stealing potatoes
Without the means to cook them,
potatoes didn't interest me a bit and
l thought that the boat itself would
probably yield me more than the po-
tato patch. Knowing the canal hands
would probably take their time in The
fields, climbed up the stern of the
boat letsurely and without any par
ticular pains to conceal myself. Just
as my head appeared above the stern
of the boat saw silhouetted against
the Sky the dreaded outline of a Ger
man soldier-spiked helmet and all.
A chill ran down my spine as |
dropped to the bank of the canal and

had not seen me. or, If he had, he
had probably figured that 1 was one
of the foraging party. But I real
lied that 1t wouldn't pay in future

CHAPTER Y.
Experiences in Belgium

I think that one of the worst
things 1 had to contend with in my
journey through Belgium was the
number of small bitches. They in
tercepted me at every half mile or
so. sometimes more frequently. The
canals and the big rivers I could
swim. OF course. got soaked to the
skin every time I did it, but I was
becoming hardened to that
These little bitches, however, were
too narrow to swim and too wide TO
jump. They had perhaps two feet
of water in them and three feet
of mud, and 1t was almost invariably
a case of wading through. Some of
them, no doubt, I could have jumped
if 1 had been in decent shape. but
with bad ankle and in the weak
cned condition in which | was, it
was almost out of the question.
One night l came to a ditch about
eight or nine feet wide. l thought
was strong enough to jump it and It
was worth trying as the discomfort
suffered after wading these bitches
was considerable. Taking a long run
1 jumped as hard as I could, but 1
missed it by four or five inches and
landed in about two feet of water
and three feet more of mud.
Getting out of that mess was quite
a job. The water was too dirty and
too scanty to enable me to wash off
the mud with which l was covered
and il was too wet TO scrape off. l
just had to wait until it dried and
scrape it off then.

AL priSed me very
much as l journeyed through Bel
GUM, and that was the scarcity CT
dogs. Apparently most of them have
been taken by the Germans and
what are left are beasts of burden
who are too tired at night to bark or
bother intruders. This was a mighty
good thing for me. for l would cer-
tainly have stirred them up in pass
ing through backwards, as l some
times did when l was making a short
cut.
One night as l came out of a yard
IL was so pitch dark l could not see
ten feet ahead of me and L was right
in the back of a little village, al
though l did not know it. l crawled
along, fearing / might come to a
crossroads. at which there would in
all probability be a German sentry.
Twenty Feet from a Hun!
My precaution served me in good
stead, for 1 had come out in the
main street of a village and within
twenty feet of me, sitting on some
bricks where they were building a
little store. l could see the dim out
line of a German with spiked hell
met!
l could not cross the street and the
only thing to do was to back track.
1t meant making a long detour and
losing two hours of precious time
and effort, but there was no help for
it, so plodded wearily back. cursing
the Huns at every step.
The next night while crossing.
some fields came to a road. 1t was
one of the main roads of Belgium
and was paved with cobble stones.
On these roads you can hear
wagon or horse about a mile or TWO
away. 1 listened intently before l
moved ahead. and hearing nothing
concluded that the way was clear.
AS 1 emerged from the field and
got my first glimpse of the road,
got the shock of my life! In either
direction, as far as l could see, the
road was lined with German sol
diers What they were doing in
that part of Belgium l did not know
but you can be mighty sure I didn't
spend any time trying to find out.
Again it was necessary to change
my course and lose a certain amount
of ground, but by this time had be-
come fairly we'll reconciled to these
reverses, and they did not depress
me as much as they had at first.
