 The report of President Fsedericks, submitted to the fair association, is as follows:
 Tn conformity with previous GUS tom, we beg to hand you herewith our annual report covering activities of the northern Arizona state fair asso- Ciation for the past year. Since our last annual meeting we have acquired legal title tOs what is known as the fair grounds, so that we now own as a legally incorporated body the prop erty in fee simple without any en- cumbranCe. The seventh annual fair was success from the standpoint of attendance, which broke all pre- vious records, as well as from finan- cial standpoint as will be evidenced by the annual report of the treasurer. and from which you will observe that there are no outstanding current obli- gations and that there is now sub stantial credit balance on hand I wish to thank the officers of this as sOciation and all parties who have been active in our affairs and gener- GUS in their donations, for their ad- trfr which have enabled us to make such a splendid record, and bespeak for my su Ccssor in office the same earnest and active support that has been ac-, corded tC me"

wet congress could do much to upset the present situation were it inclined to do so.
 Many people fail to understand" !" he said, "that the eighteenth amend ment is so general in its terms that it could not in itself stop the manufac- ture of most any kind of booze It is the Volstead act which defines intox- icating liquors. If it were left up to wet congress and wet president to define the meaning of the term in toXicating, 1t is safe to predict that it would be defined in such a way as to exclude beers and wines, even up to champagne, which contains, I be- lieve, something like 20 per cent all cohol."
 The reluctance in granting women the ballot in the east is attributed by Holmquist to a deep seated fear that they would keep the lid on the eight eenth amendment Coxites are hop ing, he says, that western women democrats will not discover this fact and that they will continue to vote the democratic ticket for democracy's sake or rather for the principles which are set forth in the platform and not those which are being cooked up behind the scenes, and adds:
 Every effort will be put forth to becloud the issues in the west, while the east, wise unto itself and the meaning of Cox, will vote to perpet- uate democratic misrule-this is the hope of wet democrats and 1t IS quite evident that they are in control"

The day passed without official communication between the Germans and allies, except for an in formal meeting between Premier Lloyd George and Dr. Simons, Ger mai foreign secretary.
 While the allied prcmiers were con- ferring, the Germans held a series of cabinet meetings. The German sec retary had an hours talk with Pre- micr Lloyd George, who again told him that the allies could go no further than they had already done ill reduc- ing the terms of coal delivery, namely ? 100000 tons monthly.
 Iupossible-Simons
 Dr. SimCus repeated his contention that 1t was impossible for Germany To deliver that amount. He said that while the allies were insisting upon means for my country either civil war or invasion"
 Later the German chancellor called l meeting of the cabinet with all the experts present. The meeting was described as being extremely animated with wide differences of opinion Im- afterward the German min strrs deliberated four hours.

cntial of the German experts said the situation was grave and it looked as though the allies would occupy the Ruhr
 If the occupation of the Ruhr takes place it would be carried out by six divisions, three French, two British and one Belgian.
 Every military precaution has been made to this end. Premier Millerand called on Premier Lloyd George about 10 o'clock today and they had long conversation. NJ. Millerand had the French journalists to dinner, but de- clined to say word about the situa- ton.
 Official denial was made of a re- port that Dr. Simons had raised the German offer of coal in his talk with Lloyd George to l,800O00 tons monthly.

For the last three days heavy, black looking clouds have been hang ing over the westerly side of the Frisco peaks, and these clouds have been taken for rain clouds by many people. But there were merely clouds Of smoke from the burning timber.
 No estimates at present can be had as to the area burned nor the damage done, but 1t is large, and unless the rains, which seem probable now, come in a hurry, the burned area will be much larger.

NOMINEE E WEI PLANK IF TIE
 DEMOCRATS

PHOENIA, July +.-"Thc nomina- ton of Governor Cox is regarded throughout the east as the wet plank in the democratic platform and party leaders are counting on the moisture of the ticket to carry the day in the big ccnters of population, leaving the west, which is pro-prohibition, to dis cuss written-in platform issues 10 its hearts content and vote as it pleases." '"
 So declared Fritz \. Holmquist, assistant state engineer, upon his re turn from three weeks sojourn ill Washington, New York, Philadelphia and other eastern points. Holmquist was i'll conference with the secretary of agriculture on federal aid matters ill Arizona which will be of vast bcne- fit 10 the development of highways in this state. During his stay in the east Inc made it his special duty to study the effect of the San Francisco convention results, and he brings back with him some interesting in- formation. Said he:
 Whether the people realize it or not the coming presidential election is bound to be the biggest wet-and- dry fight that was ever staged in the nation. Sidctracking such paramount issues as the record of the democratic party the League of Nations, and Irish freedom, the democrats have cleverly inserted wet plank by the nomination of a wet man, d man whose whole political success is based on the support of the liquor interests of Ohio.
 The nomination of Cox is regarded as d big victory for Tam1nany Hall which is now supplementing its work by lining up an all-wct congressional delegation. This same program ot for the election of wet con gressmen will be carried OH iu New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana Illinois and Kentucky, with hopes also to include some of the New Eng land states. Iu every district where a wet-aud-dry congressional fight can be staged Cox will benefit, 1t is be- licved by the democratic leaders, for the east knows Cox, and they know what he stands for, regardless of how cleverly he may attempt 10 straddle the issue in his public utteranCes. In the west, where Cox Is not known, it is hoped to keep the democrats in line for him or the strength of the democratic platform.
 As to the possibilities of the nation going wet were Governor Cox to be elected, Holmquist points out that a

FIRE FIGHTERS GATHERING AT
 FLAGSTAFF

There are reports of a number of big forest fires in the mountains around Flagstaff. Kilograms were sent to Prescott for any experienced fire fighters who could be spared for that field. The most experienced in the forest service in Arizona perhaps is Ranger Nj. L. Nichols of the local forest service. There being no fires in this section, he was sent to assist in coping with the fire demon raging in the greatest unbroken pine forest i'll the world.
 Back in June, 1915, during the ad- rninistration of (. H. Hinderer as forest supervisor, when A. w. Fletch- CT was forest ranger at Crown King, assisted by Louie E Hart as fire guard, Q big fire broke out ill the Horse Thief canyon country, and the call for help was sent to Prescott. Two hundred men fought fire there for two weeks, and NJ. L. Nichols was one of the men at the head of the fire-fighting brigade.
 When the fire in the Flagstaff mountains became serious they want ed fire fighters who know how to stop q big fire ill heavy timbered country. That is why Nichols and other. fire fighters from ali over the state are gathering at Flagstaff to stop the flames from eating up the wealth in the timbered domains of the Coconino forest reserve.
 But from all indications rain is go- ing to beat all the fire fighters.
