Not more than 19O men will go from Arizona to Fort Riley on or about March 4 when the final 15 per cent of the first quota is called, according to an amour cement made recently at the office of Colonel Charles w.. Harris, adjutant general.
 This statement was made fol lowing the receipt from Wash ington of an answer to the tele- gram of Governor Hunt and Colonel Harris which had insist ed that Arizona had not been given full credit for men sent to the training camps. In a cal sent out from Washington for the remainder of the first quota to entrain on March 4th, Ari zona's balance was stated to be
 approximately 49O."
 In answer to the messages protesting that no such balance was due from this state and showing where the men had been sent, for which apparently no credit had been given, the war department replied to the Arizona officials to send the balance of men due"

TO AN ENGINEER.

l watched you slog down dusty pike One of many, so much alike, With spirit known as a breath of
 flame, Ready to ris and ready to strike Whenever the fitting moment came; Just kid with a boyish grin, Waiting the order to hustle in And lend your soul to the battle thrill Unafraid of the battle din Or the guns that crashed from a hid
 den hill. l watched you leap to the big advance, With smile for fate and its fight
 ing chance, Sweeping on till the charge was done; l saw your grave on slope of France Where you fell asleep when the fight
 was won; Just kid, who had earned his rest With a rifle and helmet above his
 breast, Who proved, in answer to German
 jeers, That kid can charge machine gun
 nest Without the training of forty years. l watched the shadows drifting by As gray dusk came from a summer
 sky, And lost winds came from beyond the
 fight, And seem to hear them croon and
 sigh, "Sleep, Little Dreamer, Sleep to-
 night; "Sleep tonight, for I'm bringing you
 prayer and dream, Prom the home you knew, "And I'll take them word of the big
 advance, "And how you fought till the game
 was through "And you fell asleep in the dust of
 France."-Stars and Stripes. (The above little poem struck the fancy of Private James H. Galla- gher, a former well known young lumberjack of this section of the woods, who is now on duty in France, and he sent it to friend here).

News of Interest Gathered Here and There in the State
GOODBYE, BOOZE" TO
 BE SUNG TODAY

The biggest single cargo of booze that has left Douglas since the state went dry was shipped to Phoenix last week by the federal authorities. It is the booze that has been stored in the city jail since it was captured in the big raid in Pirtleville. There are 34 barrels of whiskey, each hold ing 50 gallons, and 65 additional cases, as we'll as several barrels of bottled beer. All of the whiskey, ex- cept the 65 cases, was in pint bottles in gunny sacks, making it necessary to barrel it before it could be shipped.
 At least 90 per cent of the whiskey is Saffel, six years old, and of an ex- cellent quality, according to those who are familiar with whiskey. There was some Old Taylor, Sunny Brook and few other well known brands, as we'll as few bottles of inferior grade. But taken altogether, it is an excel lent quality, even when mixed to- gether in the barrels and there are many bars in states that are still wet that would gladly pay fancy price for the booze.
 The work of pouring the whiskey in- to barrels was finished yesterday noon, after being in progress for three days. The thirty-four barrels are pill ed in the corridor of the city hall and the rest is locked in the city jail. This afternoon at 2:30 trucks will haul it to the depot, to the strains of Good bye, Booze,". from numerous parched throats. -..
 The cargo will be in charge of Dep- uty United States Marshal F. G. Hud- son, who came here from Phoenix, and Special Officer J. F. Patterson of the E. P. & S. w., both of whom will ride in the freight car with the treasure. Douglas Dispatch.

INTERESTING WILL CASE.

The contest over the purported will of George Miller who died some months ago at Kingman, in which property amounting to some $17,000 or more is involved, was tried last week.
 This case dates back to last Fall when George Miller passed away and just before his death told those at his bedside that his will would be found among his papers. They searched these papers and no will being found MT. Miller in the presence of witness es, having stated that he wished to leave his estate to the schools of Mo have county, thus making noncupa- tive will.
 The Miller estate is said to amount to over S17,000 in cash as well as val uable mining property on Silver Creek.
 A short time ago a will was pro- duced in California, leaving his estate to Mrs. Minnie Wilson, who was his nurse in his last illness. Inasmuch as this will was not believed to be in MT. Miller's handwriting by those who knew his signature and that MT. Mil Ter had consistently stated that he wished to leave his property to. the schools of Mohave county, this was all legged to be fraudulent will.
 The case was decided against Mrs. Wilson who brought the suit.-King- man Miner.

SPIRITS FLY TO FLU.

PHOENIX.-The Spanish influenza epidemic has played havoc with the stock of contraband whiskey in the care of Sheriff w. H. Wilkey, or rather whiskey that was formerly un- der his care.
 Already the epidemic has resulted in the consumption of approximately S80,00 worth of bootleg whiskey in this county, it is estimated. The ever increasing demand for the liquor has resulted in practically depicting the large store formerly held at the coun- ty jail.
 Before the epidemic made its ap- pearance in Phoenix Sheriff Wilkey had under his care approximately 10,- 900 pints of confiscated liquors. A large proportion of this has already been consumed.

BIG MONUMENT TO HONOR
 MARICOPA COUNTY HEROES

PHOENIX-A movement to immor. talize Maricopa county's fallen heroes linen who so willingly sacrificed their life's blood that world freedom might live-was initiated in Phoenix by L. H. Chambers, we'll known at torney. Almost before the subject was brought into general discussion it had gained such impetus as to as- sure the success of the scheme to make it reality father than mere suggestion.
 The plan as suggested by Attorney Chalmers, is to construct a monument dedicated to those Maricopa county men who gave their lives on the bat tlefields of France, Italy, Belgium or Russia as we'll as those who died in training camps and while enroute overseas. In other words the name of every Maricopa county man who died in the military or naval service of the country would be inscribed on the monument.

ALIEN ENEMY PROPERTY.

While it is impossible at present to state just what will be the final dis position of the property, amounting to approximately one billion dollars, located in this country and belonging to alien enemies, it seems apparent that the armistice will not check, for the present at least, the seizure and sale of such property wherever found by the enemy alien property custo- dian. Although the actual fighting between the armies of the allies and those of the central powers has stop ped in Europe, the war against the enemies' insidiuos industrial fortifi- cation in this country is still going on and seems likely to continue until this danger is completely destroyed.

MEXICANS ACCUSED OF
 MURDER PLOT DISCHARGED

PRESCOTT-Upon motion of County Attorney F. L. Haworth, Su- perior Judge J. J. Sweeney has dis missed the charges which had been filed against the ten Mexicans who had been held for complicity in the plot which resulted in the killing of ex-Sheriff James Lowry at Verde last July.
 This action on the part of the coun- ty attorney came by reason of the fact that the state did not possess 3 sufficient amount of the right sort of evidence to insure the conviction of the defendants at the time the cases were due for trial in the superior court. The men had been confined in the county jail since late in July.

Mir. A. B. Baird, a geologist, has been in the city few days making an investigation of the oil holdings of Mir. V. A. Keith on Clear Creek, about seven miles from Winslow. After an examination he reports to Mir.

Mir. Keith feels elated over the report, and says he will have oil rigs on the land within a few months to prove out the report of the geologist.-Winslow Mail.

RUBBISH HEAPS GONE.
Cleanup Work Completed, But Some
Folks Don't Appreciate It.

The truck put on the streets~to col.
lect the rubbish heaps has completed its
work. By 10 O'Clock this morning the
entire section of the town north of
Milestone brook had been covered and
a good sized load collected. This CON-
pletes the work of the property owners
so far as the cleanup campaign is con-
cerned. The results of the determined
efforts to make this town cleaner are
very apparent. Small unsightly places
have been improved and the work of
cleaning up the big unsightly spots is
still going.
Last Saturday by a great deal of eff
fort the Boy Scouts cleaned a section
of the railroad bank Yesterday when
few of them went to finish the work,
it was found that some careless tenants
in the blocks had thrown out enough
rubbish and refuse to undo every bit of
the excellent work. Public opinion ought
to discourage this sort of thing. One
place in particular was Uttered with
every sort of rubbish from tin, paper
and cloth to food waste. Every effort
will be made to remedy this condition.
The boys are deserving of more encour-
agement from the older people who
| ought to be setting an example of good
citizenship.
