glad to help if assured that the peo- pie of the camp want it. General Superintendent Al Curley is also a boxing fan. The 18th Infantry de tachment is for it strong. In fact, nearly every one in the camp, in cluding many women, enjoy clean sports of this kind, it is declared, and the success of the undertaking would, it is thought, fill long felt want.
 Later, a building or other enclos- ure would be provided in case of sue cess. For the present, however, con tests would be held out in the open. The place suggested for the time being is the army camp. And Lieut. Boyce, the commanding officer, has offered to see that soldiers attend to the necessary police duty (seeing that only ticket holders witness the matches within the roped arena, etc)

leaves the status of the local situa- ton free of any friction for the pres ent at least.
 At the local railroad office the fol- lowing was given out yesterday af- ternoon as covering the strike trouble as it prevailed mp to that time in this section, and along the main line of the Santa Fe, which is of local inter- est:
 No report of trouble from any sec. ton of the S. F. P. & P. had been received to date, but freight trafis from the east was unusually heavy and was being readily handled. There was no business whatever from Cal ifornia being handled, in either pas sengers or freight.
 Passenger trains west of Wicken- burg on the A. & C. had been an- nulled to Parker, while from Parker it was learned yesterday no trains were leaving that point for the coast.
 No of the Santa Fe, a vest bound passenger, reached Ash Fork on Tuesday evening, where it was tied up and still remained at that point on "Wednesday night No. 7 passenger, also westbound, reached Ash Fork on Tuesday evening and proceeded to Seligman as a stub train, where it is held and now tied up. No. 3, westbound passenger, got as far as Albuquerque, and fearing the same fate as the two above trains, was stopped en route west.
 No. 8 eastbound passenger got as far as Seligman Tuesday afternoon, but left later for Albuquerque as stub train. Only stub trains are being run occasionally out of Selig- man, and for local work only.
 Passenger and freight traffic west of Seligman is at standstill, and the same situation prevails at Need les, east and west.
 The limited number of passengers from the coast to arrive in Prescott during the past two days is due to the fact that they were permitted to travel on stub trains as far east as Ash Fork from different points on the Santa Fe west of the latter place.
 The effect of the strike is mani festing itself in travel over the s. F. P. & P, yesterdays southbound train carrying the smallest number of passengers in many weeks.

 The stills were at different places, the one which was set up and had been in operation being in an old deserted house between Boneyville and Pirtleville, on the old carline to the (. & A. smelter. In addition to the liquor seized the officers found another cache in which a consider able quantity had been buried but has been hastily extracted and taken

no end of favorable comment among Phoenix democrats, and it is gener ally conceded that he would have a walk-over for nomination were Ma jor Hayden to be his only opponent.
 The Martin-for-congress talk has widened out into a discussion of other soldier-sailor material which might be available on a democratic ticket, with the result that there is a very fair beginning of soldiers and sailors ticket.
 Oscar Cole, former secretary of the senate and former secretary of the state prison at Florence, has been mentioned as a candidate for state treasurer. Cole is now iden- tifed with large cotton interests near Parker.
 Dudley Windes, recently appoint ed to act as adjutant of the American Legion of Arizona, and former city attorney of Tempe, is mentioned as a possible candidate for attorney-gen- eral.
 From this early consideration of candidates it is evident that the serv- ice men intend to take an active part in state and national politics. Thus far this consideration is confined to the democratic ranks, but the repub- lican boys are not asleep at the switch. They are quietly searching out the big offices and when the time comes they promise to bring out some names which will give plenty to talk about

EX-SERVICE MEN IGNORED
 FOR POLITICIANS
CFron Wednesdays DaiIy.O

PHOFNIN, Aug. 26.-"The Amer ican Legion feels very grateful to Major Carl Hayden for having se- cured the appointment of Corporal Sam Bradner and Private Ray Leach as census directors for Arizona"
 This sarcastic statement which ap- peared unoficially on a certain bull letin board in this city illustrates the growing resentment in legion circles over the recent announcement that two professional politicians were SC lected for this important work ill preference to service men.
 Neither Bradner nor Leach served i'll the war, the titles corporal and private being purely gratuitous. Brad ner will be remembered as the legis- lative clerk of the last legislative session vho had the nerve to put in claim for services against the state, covering several weeks spent by him on a honeymoon. Leach was former assistant secretary of the Tucson Chamber of Commerce, and has al ways had an ingrowing desire for political plums.
 The selections of Bradner and Leach came as a surprise to men back from the war, who naturally supposed that out of the 10000 re turned service men in the state one or two might have been found by the major who were fully qualified to take charge of the census work.
 Andy Martin Gains by Move
 If Congressman Hayden had any thing to do with the appointments, and there are many who believe that he was solely responsible, it will have the effect of boosting the stock of Andy Martin for congress. The announceemnt that Martin was being seriously considered has brought

OVERLAND DAYS OF
 STAGING IS PROJECTED

Unless the railroad situation cleared up at once, placing of auto stages on the roads leading into Ari- zona is to be inaugurated ont of Los Angeles" said J. T. Harrigan, a min ing man who arrived yesterday morn ing from the above city, in company with Richard l. Zimmerman. Mir. Harrigan also said there are two sides to this movement, some people have business interests to look after, while many of the curious kind want to stage it into the country for the novelty of the trip.
 A wide awake Los Angeles firm has already heralded the following broadcast:
 'Ho for Arizona overland, via Needles, Parker or Yuma; careful drivers, good coaches and fast time; reservations now open; date of leaY- ing to be announced later; baggage limited to one handbag"
 There were IS reservations made up to Monday night, and the first stage had actually left for Oatman, with two passengers. It had five on the return trip.
 Messrs. Harrigan and Zimmerman have interests in Black Canyon dis trict, and are to remain indefinitely. They report the desert region around Needles as scorching hot, and roads out of Kingman difficult to negotiate. They passed through the warm coun- try during the night time, and say now is the time to boom this coun- try, as 1t is certainly cheerful sight to see such verdure everywhere along the road from Kingm9p to Prescott.

FLOOD CONTROL IN CHA
 EXPLAINED BY KIMBALL

SAFFORD.-Andrew Kimball pre- sided at a meeting at Pima recently at which renewed interest was given to the movement to secure the carry ing into effect of the recommends tions of the Olmstead report on flood conditions of the Gila river.
 At this meeting the fact was brought out and strongly empha- sized that the movement now being organized in the Gila valley is pri- marily for flood control and not for land reclamation. It therefore diff fers radically from the reclamation movement now being organized to secure the construction of the San Carlos dam.
 The Olmstead report recommends two things: First, the regulation of the flow of the Gila river by source stream works, so that the river will flow the same volume of water throughout the year; and, second the standardization of the channel of the Gila river from above Solomon vile to the lower end of the valley, by building such works as may be necessary to hold the river in a fixed channel from one end of the valley to the other, put an end forever to the terrible devastation that the river has been annually causing for the last 20t years.

INCREASED SCHOOL ROSTERS
 SHOW GROWTH OF CITY
(From Wednesdax,s Dai1xl

OndOuDted eVldenCe Ol the Ad vancing City will be found in an in. creased school registration this year, if the predictions oi school au- thorities are true. The increase, il is thought, will be found at botf the high school and in the grades The high school has conducted an ad vertising campaign by means of a booklet setting forth the courses to be offered and the facilities for car rying them out.
 Registration will start Tuesday orning, September ?, the first being legal holiday, Labor Day. The opening day will be given over to the organization of classes, issuance of text books and other preliminary work.
 All teachers will meet for a con ference with Superintendent $. H. Martin at 1:3O Monday afternoon.
 Calculations on the continual building of homes during the past year and the fact that every avail able house seems to be taken and also on the fact that a score or more school children are here with rela- tives of men stationed at Whipple Barracks. are the basis of the pre- diction that school registration will be a little heavier this year than last Last years school figures were badly rumpled by the widespread influenza and are not a satisfactory basis of calculations, either for school ac- commodations or for the apportion- ment of state school funds. For in stance, the epidemic cut the high school attendance down from about l30 at the beginning of the year to something around 100 during the la ter portions of the term.

FEDERATION TERMS ARE
 GRANTED AT OATMAN (From Wednesdays Daily.)

KINGMAN, Aug. 26.-After a week or more of shutdown and con
 seQuent anxiety of operators and workers, it as arthoritatively re- ported that the employers and rep resentatives of the Western Fedora ton of Miners, in conference with the federal mediator, Hywell Davies arrived at a basis of settlement of their differences at Los Angeles on Thursday last The operators and miners express themselves thor oughly satisfied with the arrange ments While they are not yet pub
 lished, the terms give the men a raise of 50 cents per day, recogni- ton of their organization and the promise of a cooperative store. The differences weer slight, when taken from a federation angle, but de mands were made by the wobblies that could not be considered and as the organization was composed of about 50 per cent of the workers Ill the camp, a compliance with the de mands of one organization would bring revolt from the other, and as a result the managers concluded to close the mines until the situation clarified itself
 While this was a drastic move, ii appeared to be the only one left open. The employers really felt that the men with families in the camp would be hard hit by the close down and concluded to treat with the fed eration on a basis that would make that organization a sound one and prevent further friction. It was rec ognized that the high cost of living necessitated higher wage and that part of labor's demand was readily acceded to. The-thing that was sticker was the recognition of closed shop, but this was granted the federation to furnish the neces- sary labor in the mines, which was agreed to.
 Now that the strike is over and that Monday will witness a return toI work of all federation men in the camp, it is up to the people to give the workers their earnest support against the aggressions of any and all bodies of men who are attempt ing to destroy our industries. The mines need the men and the men need the labor. Every man who labors with hand or head should re- ceve a margin above his immediate necessities to provide against the day when he may not be able to la bor, and this view is obtaining i'll every employment in the United States. Oatman IS to be congratu lated on the amlCaDle settlement or its differences, and now that it is all over the people should use every en- deavor to make the camp one of the best in the state With cooperation along every line the big gold camp | of the state could be made an ideal mining camp.
 The people and workers of Oat- man are to be congratulated on the | manner in which the affairs of the town have been conducted during | the past two weeks, there not having been single disorder in pr about the mines, although the tension was high and the season one that would try the nerves of almost anyone.

there was an attempt TO change the
