fiancee here about three weeks ago.
 Asked yesterday whether she liked America, Mademoiselle Amenc re-
 piled that she was very pleased with
 it, and with Arizona She appeared
 to take a naive delight in her new surroundings.
 And American women, Mademoi- selle-what do you think of them?"
 The pretty little French girl tossed
 her head slyly, and smiled. They are very pretty, Monsieur" she re-
 piled.
 Yes, their faces,' said Madame Amenc; there are more pretty ones than in France But they do not all know the art of dress. They are not a la mode. The Parisian modes of New York-they are not at all what Parisiennes are wearing. But your women are very pretty, Monsieur, very pretty, indeed"
 American men were the next sub ject touched upon. Mademoiselle Amenc found them all that could be desired, while her mother was also alive to their particularly American qualities They are just little dry, Monsieur, but so very much more broad than the Frenchmen. The Frenchman. he is little effeminate, is it not so? But the American is Oh, yes, we like them very much, we French"
 The sky-scrapers of New York, which provide a subject eternally full of interest to French people, Madame Amenc found very curious. And like your cities, she said. There $ SO much more room in them than in ours. Still, there is not the beauty, the curious little winding streets and corners. I personally do not care for the arrangement of your streets. They are all in squares, ald that is monotonous. But your out floors is wonderful. And you tive with such zest. You are not tired people; you are young. Perhaps that s why you are so attractive" And Madame Amenc smiled at her daugh- CT, who smiled back as she tossed Ter short chestnut hair.
 Following the marriage today, Mur- Shy and his bride will leave On their They are undecidei vet rhere to go, and will probably choose ither the south or the coast. Madame Amenc will leave about Decemb47 : or her home in France.

FORESTRY'S RELATIONSHIP
 TO RECLAMATION IS SHOWN
(From Wednesdays Daily)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 Don't you wish we were back ID there again?"
 Such were the words spoken again and again by visitors to the forest service exhibit at the state fair, ac- cording to Ranger NJ. L. Nichols, who with Examiner Edward P. An coma, of the Albuquerque office, was in charge of the exhibit Returning to Prescott yesterday, Nichols de- scribed the impression made upon large crowds of visitors by the ex- hibit, a much larger one than that shown at the N. A. state fair recently.
 "We had much more space, due 10 the larger grounds of the state fair" Nichols said, and so were able to include the big camping scene which was shown at the California state lair. We had great many visitors, all of whom were interested in our exhibit. The irrigation display, per haps, attracted more attention than any other feature, people commenting upon the way in which it made them realize the relation of the national forests to irrigation, especially in the west"
 The main feature of the exhibit was large camping scene against a mountain background. The floor, covered with pine needles, provided space for a tent and a setting of pine trees. It was this setting that aroused the love Of the open in the spec.a- tors, and set forth the recreation fa- cilities of the national forests.
 Having more space" Nichols con tinucd, I've were able to lay out our panels better. These illustrated the various forest service activities by means of large photographs. Other features of the exhibit were similar to those shown here recently.
 "The crowds at the fair were goo1. . especially during the last three days. {. The first three were rather slow. On ! Friday and Saturday, the grandstand | was entirely sold out by 10 o'clock : Our booth was crowded from early ! in the morning until dark. We were not competing for prizes, but we cer- tainly attracted the crowds. I be- ieve that our exhibits here and at the state fair have done much to open the eyes of the public to the import mt work the forest service is carry ng on.''

CONFIRM RUMOR OF
 REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
(From Wednesdays Daily)


 Canvassing of returns Of the gen eral election by the board of super visors which began in the board room on Monday. were well nigh complete last evening at quitting time Only a few entries remained to be made and the totals to be struck off on the trusty adding machine.
 The official count of Yavapai bal lots-or rather the tally boolls-did not reveal any upsets. The rumor which has persisted since the early evening of November ? that a number of Republican candidates had been accorded pluralities in this county, bids fair to be substantiated when the final count is tabulated, which will be done before noon today, according to the board of supervisors.
 Systematic plugging at the clerks Of election boards by the clerk of the board of supervisors, has eliminated much cf the trouble about the hand ling of election paraphernalia. In the general election, only three or four small precincts returned their tally books sealed up in the sacks with the ballots, making it necessary for the board to break the seals in the presence of witnesses in order to get at the contents.

 Burrus denied that Galich's version of the affair was correct stating that Steve Galich and his brother John had come to the Burrus ranch for the purpose of themselves starting the fracas in which Galich received q bull let wound in the thigh.
 The court room audience was stir red to mirth when Burrus testified concerning the manner in which Galich had bit his nose. Consider able time during yesterdays session was taken up by argument between oppusing counsel as to whether club closely resembling the Rouse- vcltian big stick should be admitted as identiiiable by Burrus. the opposi- ton maintaining that its close like ness to other clubs precluded the possibility of Identification. The club was admitted as identified, however and thc case proceeded.
 According 10 testimony offered by the plaintiffs yesterday, it developed that but three of the four shots fired by Busich when Galich was alleged to have Burrus down and to have been biting his nose, were aimed at Steve Galich. The fourth was claim ed to have been fired at John Galich, and to have missed him. One of the first three bullets fired took effect n Steve Galich's thigh, developing into the injury which Galich alleges is permanent, and which is the basis of his suit
 The case was drawing to its close yesterday when court was adjourned, and will be continued today as one of a series of minor civil actions to be heard before superior court juries this week

 FUSS AT MEETING
(From Wednesdays Daily)

NIlOlil w ONllCSudy . DdIly There is a rumor that the dance difficulties confronting the Yavapai Iclub will be threshed out at a meet
 ing of the board of directors on the regular meeting day, Friday, and that lit will not be necessary for the dcvo- tees of the great American indoor sport to resort to a meeting of the membership i'll order to adjust the matter.
 Dissatisfaction over an order of the directors to the entertainment com mittee, limiting the dances to be given during the balance of the pres ent year to two formal dinner dances on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve led to the signing of a petition for a special meeting of the club. The movement was backed by members who want informal dances and want them so badly that they are said to be willing to go to bat with the direc- tors before the entire club member ship i'll order to obtain them.

 The story of Murphy's meeting
