 CARRIES IN THE
 CITY Fl FICTION
279 Of Total Of 331 Votes
 Favor The Measure.
OPPONENTS MAY
 PROTEST THE VOTE
Claim Annexation Was Not Adyer- tised; County Court Will Render
 The Final Decision.

With a total vote of 279 for, and 52 against. the proposed annexation of certain contagious territory to Pine Bluff was carried yesterday in the general election. All of the candi- dates for offices were nominated in the Democratic Primary several months ago, and there was no compe- tition in this election. VI. C. Hollis was elected mayor, and F. T. Miller, w. C. McBrids, George McGibbony, and J. A. Clement were elected alder fen
 The vote on the annexation was about the only question of interest and the vote was exceptionally light on that question. The vote on an- nexation by wards is as follows: First ward, for annexation. 34; against 19.
 against, 13.
 Third ward, for annexation, 1o9; against, 10.
 Fourth ward for annexation, 2; l against, 10.
 The total vote cast was 331.
 The territory which will be annex ed will ,be appriximately one mile north east, south and west of the present city limits. The resolution for annexation was introduced in the city council some months ago, and was adopted, and a request made that it be placed on the ticket to be voted on in the general election held yest terday The resolution was later amended to include the Eden Park addition which was not included in the original resolution. The request that this territory be annexed was made ty H. l. Holderness and pr. Clark, owners of that property
 Claim Vote Illegal.
 Advices reached the Graphic last night to the effect that the voting on the annexation was illegal in view of the fact that the question was not advertised in the sheriff's proclama- tion. Investigated showed that the question of annexation was not ad- vertised by the sheriff because he had no authority to do so, taking his authority to advertise the general election from the primary.
 k. B. Bloom secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce, who has been a stunch supporter of the annexation proposition, said last night: Because the annexation proposition was not advertised is not an indication that the election was illegal. The resultion as passed by the city council was ad- vertised, but even that was not neces- sary. am using my statement on ex- pert legal advise. The firm of Cole man and Can't have advised me in that regard, and their advice is bas- ed on a decision handed down by the Arkansas Supreme Court"
 According to other information the county court must yet pass or the question, and it will be finally de cided there. Those who oppose tho annexation proposition have right to protest before the county court. l From the number of votes cast ii the election yesterday for the annexa tion as to those opposed, the natura indication is that the majority of vot CTS in the city are in favor of annexa tion. However, number of protest have been registered from people liv ing, and holding property in the dis trict it is proposed to annex, and it i probable that a protest will be mad before the county court.

 BORDER VIEWED
 FROM NEW ANGLE
Foremost Subject Before The Super Council.
OFFERS PROSPECT
 OF AGREEMENT
lew Order Provides For French Con- trOl Of Sarrp Coal Fields For
 Five Years.

Paris, April 1.-(By The Associat- ! Press. )-The Franco German fron- er, which is still the foremost sub |ect before Premiers Lloyd George, lemenceau, and Orlando and Presi- ] ent Wilson is being presented now rom a new standpoint which offers Dme prospect of agreement. . The first plan was to give France conomic control of the Sarre coal elds so as to offset damages to the bal mines of Northern France. Fran was not to have political control ver the large German population in he Sarre valley which would remain Fith Germany. This proved object bnable and one of the chief causes 1 the council of four's inaction. The
 lain objection fas the divided con- Fol by which France would be un- ble to operate mines effectively, revent strikes and enforce authori- whe nthe eGrmans were exercising plitical control.
 Five Year Control.
 The new plan, therefore, seeks to pmbine French economy and politi- hl authority for a temporary period ntil the productive capacity of the hintes of Northern France is restor- h, industrial production revived and he prostration due to the war ended. 5 is estimated that five years will be equired to restore the mines to nor- bal and this probably gives an idea t the length of the proposed joint pntrol by France.
 The fact that the control would be emporary overcomes the objection of nnexation similar to the German nnexatio of Alsace and Lorraine in |S70.
 l The proposal was first advanced as oncerning the Sarre region only, hut it is regarded now as equally as jpplicable to the left bank of the Rhine as possible basis of agree hent.
 To Avoid Controversy. A new phase of the question of Ieparation is also being presented in he proposal to avoid stating in the treaty any specific total and thus es- fape controversy over the largeness kf or smallness of the amount. It is kaid that this is possible by defining he character of the payments over
 period of years, without precisely defining what the total would reach ind efforts are being made to find
 formula which would express this |dea.
 It is understood that the plan is considered advantageous chiefly for Friendly countries, where expecta. fions have been aroused of a tota lmuch larger than is likely to be al owed.

Anxious For Peace.

Paris, April 1.-Reports received from Budapest by the American peace delegation indicate that the new rul- CTS of Hungary are giving assurances that they are anxious for peace on all fronts and that the new army they are creating is directed toward the maintenance of order and not for purposes of aggression.
 The new Hungarian officials are attempting to draw distinction be- tween communism which they say they are trying to practice, and bol- shevism. They declare they are not copying the Russian program, but are farming distinctly different poli- cies.

Receive Claims Report.

Paris, April 1.-The council of
 foreign ministers, at their meeting this afternoon received the report of the peace conference commission on Ezecho- -Slovak territorial claims and Discussed the advisability of holding } plenary session of the conference
 tor discussion of the report on in- Fernational labor legislation. The re- port was made by the commission Designated by the full conference, and fonsequently, it will probably be read Pt plenary session. The foreign min- sters also considered the question of holding business sessions at Yer failles when the German delegates arrive there. Because of the made Huate hearing arrangements and its
 nconvenient location, there is some 1oubt whether Versailles would be Satisfactory for a business session Plthough historic reasons make it
 imperative that the peace treaty be Signed there.

WE ARE LUCKY TO
 HAVE CLOTHES AT ALL

There's little likelihood in any dim mutton in old H. c. L., as far as any thing in clothing, for either sex, is concerned, according to the unanimous testimony of our local merchants. The mems clothing dealers, with out exception, have been notified of a large number of "outs" in their sam- ples, and it is impossible to get any ready-made orders more than partly filled.
 Whether it is shoes or ovepalls, the story is the same, and merchants here are ordering from houses they never dealt with before, hoping they may get enough goods to keep their assort- ments up.
 The following is letter one of the clothing merchants here received the other day from one of his wholesale houses, and it is typical of the letters all our merchants are getting: Rising costs of woolens, trimmings and general supplies; continued in crease in wages; shortened working hours; lessened production; generally increased operating expenses due to abnormal conditions-these are some of the manifold factors which make the above advance in our prices neces- | sary. An expert audit of our manu- featuring expense discloses the fact that it now costs us twice as much to produce garment as was the case at this time last year.
 "The causes at the bottom of the situation are, of course, easily trace | able to the damage to equipment and disturbance of industry caused by the great world war. The looms of Bel gium and northern France were de- stroyed completely. The machinery of the American and English mills suffered considerable depreciation by reason of the tremendous strain put upon it in the enormous production of khaki cloth. The supply of raw wools is still insufficient to meet the huge demand. Silk is so scarce as to be almost unobtainable at any price. The dye industry has not yet begun to recover its equilibrium. Weavers and mill operators were on strike intermit- tently for fourteen weeks. These facts all lead up directly to our in creased operating costs, and therefore have their bearing on the advance in our prices.
 Realizing as we do the unpopulari- ty of prices increases at this time, our regret at the necessity for the step can easily be imagined, especial ly when we point out that it is the first time in our forty years of busi- ness that such action has been taken. Never before have we advanced our prices in mid-season, but we have no alternative" u....-

Moderate showers have fallen in the Grand Canyon district, also in eastern Arizona and New Mexico. Ranges continue in excellent condition, gen erally covered with an abundance of forage of various types. Immediately north of the Rim in Navajo county pastures have matured to consider able degree, particularly the lighter grasses.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS Sept. 22.-Cattle prices were irregu- lar today, sheep were 15 to 25 cents lower, and hogs 15 to 25 cents higher Buyers, because of the big strike among steel men, started trading in cattle with the idea of lowering the prices again, but better demand devel- oped than was anticipated and the days prices showed the extremes of g shade lower, to 15 cents higher in spots.

rected through one channel, and the possibilities are beyond imagination.
 "The city or town that does not pro- grsss will inevitably backslide, and many a city owes it's very existence to the work of it's chamber of com merce.
 "The past year has witnessed more active interest in the Flagstaff cham Der of commerce Cor board of trade, as it was known until lately) than in any previous years, and the results attained are in direct proportion to this interest.
 '"Flagstaff has before it wonderful future--a growth which can not even be guessed at. Let us all then do our part to direct that growth right, in order that beauty and cleanliness and civic pride may keep pace with mate rial increase.
 "The chamber of commerce is the clearing house for the exchange of ideas, and the medium through which your dreams of fairer, better Flag staff may be realized. Support it."
 "We should all advertise Flagstaff, !" said Harold s. Sykes. "We can if we will. But the best advertisement for the town is to let strangers see its advantages. And to do that, we must have accommodations for them. Big apartment houses would be excellent, for many people from other parts of the state would stay with us if. dur ing their visits here they could find houses or apartments.
 eve can all boost for Flagstaff in letters to friends and acquaintances, but we should start now. to prepare for their needs, so that they can locate here." #
 Other views will be presented next week. .y, ts 8

CROP PROGRESS IN ARIZONA

Where soil conditions have been favorable nearly all crops outside ir- rigated sections are reaching maturi- ty or are being harvested. Where crop failure has occurred this season it has been the result of very poor soil or lack of cultivation. Wheat and oats harvest is progressing in dryland sections with good yields in prospect In nearly all parts of the state corn milo ma;ze, kaffir and cane are mak- ing the best showing in years. The potato crop in the Flagstaff section may be reduced considerably as a re- suit of blight said to have affected a number of fields. It is not possible to estimate the amount of damage thus early. Favorable weather has enabled the cotton crop again to ap- proximate a normal condition and picking has gone forward the past week without interruption.
