GROWTH I5 AMAZING IN A.FOR I NIGH I

IIH M. ! UH UIUH l Indications that the population of Prescott is rapidly increasing, due largely to the establishment of a United States Veterans hospital at Whipple Barracks, are contained in figures made public yesterday by Prof. s. H. Martin, city superinten- dent of schools, showing that dur ing the past three years enrolment at Prescott High School has increas- ed 75 per cent and enrolment in the icty elementary schools 41T per cent. The increase in enrolment at high and elementary schools to- gether for that period is 4712 per cent.
 For the years 1917, 1918, and 1919 enrolment remained practically at a level, but between 1919 and 1920 it showed considerable increase, which has been added to in 1921 and 1922.
 This is due, Professor Martin be- lieves, largely to the hospital, which attracts more and more families to Prescott. He pointed out that while the slump in mining and cattle and the reduction of Santa Fe shop forces here have taken place in the past three years, it is exactly during that period that the school enroll ment has increased. Since the only other factor affecting the growth of the city is the government hospital, Prof. Martin argues, the increase must be due 1t. The figures for opening day enrollments of the past six years follow:
 High School
 Sept 4, 1917-12O.
 Sept. 3, 191S-113, a decrease of 7. Sept ?, 1919-113, no decrease or increase.

YAVAPA| BEAUTY
 CROP |S SOUGHT
Who's the Most Beautiful Girl
 in the County? Asks State Fair Commission; Seek Entrant for a Statewide Beauty Contest.

Who is the most beautiful young woman in Yavapai county?
 This is what the Arizona State fair commission is asking with the idea of securing her as this county's rep resentative in a statewide beauty contest, the winner of which will be known as the queen of the Arizona State fair. And with this honor, of course, goes the distinction of being known as, the most beautiful young woman of Arizona
 The general plan calls for a pre- llminary contest to be held in each county of the state, with the excep- ton of Maricopa county. Details of the contest remain to be worked out, but suffice it to say that Yavapai county will be represented by her fairest daughter and that she will have fair opportunity for capturing the regal title of Arizonas beauty dom.

QUICK PROGRESS ON FORMAL INQUIRIES

Nothing notable developed in the questioning of the jurors. The hack neyed line of queries concerning knowledge of the case, interest or prejudice fixed opinions, willingness to be fair and impartial and to see strict justice done, and then those two significant questions-Do you be- lieve in capital punishment? and Do you believe in convicting on circum- stantial evidence?
 One juror of the type marked by a quick and incisive mind quickly re- piled affirmatively to the latter ques- ton. Acker's eyes dropped.

Arizona's Women

In explaining this novel contest, George A. Mauk, chairman of the commission, writes:
 Hardly anyone in this state will disagree with the assertion that Ari- zona produces the most beautiful women. No one has been able to back up this claim, however, by reason of the fact that no statewide contest has ever been. held to array the beauties of each cohnty-to pit their charms against each other and thereby secure the selection of the reigning beauty of the state. This lis the object of the state fair beauty contest, and we solicit your support to the movement as a boost for Ari- zona. We brag about our cotton, copper and our cattle Why not ad- vertise our beauty crop?"

AUTO CAMPER
FINDS WIFE GONE
WITH CHILDREN

Last wednesday afternoon
when R. A. Milton from Laramie,
Wyo., who has been working on
the new Episcopal church since
arriving in Salem. returned to the
camp grounds where he and his
wife and children have been
camping while In Salem, he found
the tent deserted. Since that time
he has been looking about and so
far has been able to find no defi-
mite trace of the family.
1t is his belief, however, that
Mrs. Milton took the children to
California where she has relatives
or else returned to her parents
home in Maine. Men working at
the camp grounds say they saw
her in company with another fam
lily who have been at the camp
ground for some time leaving
about o'clock going towards the
Southern Pacific depot. Agents at
the depot know of no one answer
ing a description OF Mrs. Milton
buying a ticket, Mr.. Milton said
this morning.
The couple were married in
Maine about years ago and
owing to the fact that Mr.. Milton
had asthma they went to Wyom-
ing for his health. Mrs. Milton
soon tired of Wyoming and want
ed to go to California. Finally
Mr.. Milton agreed and they start
ed out, Upon arriving in Salem
work was found and it was decid-
ed to stay here for time. Mr..
Milton limited this morning that
relations had not been altogether
pleasant and that he thought that
her folks had something to do
with his wife leaving and taking
the children. A letter which came
the following day from a sister in
Maine seemed to convey the Inn
preston that they knew of an ex-
pected break and we're offering
suggestions, Mr.. Milton said.
IF Mrs. Milton does not care
enough for me to stay with me 1t
is no use for me to worry about
It," he said. II do intend to have
some say as to what Is done with
the children though" he con-
tinued.

BALLOT FRAUD
CONTINUED from Page one,)

CONTINUED from Page One,)
and that this seal had been brok-
en-.
County Clerk Beveridge was
called to the witness stand to ex-
plain what he might know OF the
apparent theft Of ballots. He said
merely that in the rush of pri-
mary election night one of the
boxes had been opened as the law
allows, officially. He said he sup
posed that during the confusion
they had failed to put ON another
seal. He could not account for the
condition OF the other boxes.
Tampering is Mystery
The ballot boxes are stored in
the registration office, to which
the public has access. A counter
hens out the public from actual
access to the boxes themselves.
How the tampering was done has
not been ascertained, whether
from inside" or outside.
Il am absolutely sure that the
republican and all other ballots
cast in my precinct were placed In
one Of the boxes, sealed and de-
livered by myself to deputy in
the county clerks office on the
night of the election" declared
g. P. Benedict of 1901 East Oak
street, secretary of the Interstate
Investment company, who was
chairman of the counting board
In precinct l97. last night.
Boxes Delivered to Clerk
"The seal was not disturbed
and the box was not opened in
my presence, but was turned over
to the keeping OF the county clerk
intact. l thought all the other
boxes were sealed also, but | am
not positive of this. / do know
that the ballots were not Scatter
ed about among the different box
es turned In.
The statement of Mr.. Benedict
refutes the theory advanced by
County Clerk Beveridge when tha
loss was discovered.
1T is probable that the tally
sheets were locked up in the box
containing the ballots on the
night of the election thought
Mr.. Beveridge, "and it was nee
essary to open the box on the
counter in the registration de-
partment when it was brought
In. In the rush and confusion the
ballots may have been taken out
and mislaid in some other ballot
box. AS there are about 100 not
yet opened, | believe the missing
ballots may turn up In one Of
them"
When seals are broken in the
county clerks office in such
cases, the board chairman usually
writes his name across the brok-
en- seal, This was not done in this
case.
