The campaign to raise $170,500,000 will commence on November 11th.

L Walter Dubree. construction ensri-. ncer in the Indian service, writes an interesting account of the brutal mur der of two youne men on the Indian reservation near his camp. The letter was dated at Whiteriver, Ariz., Octo ber 4th, 1918: "Wednesday, just before the men came in for dinner, I scared up a bunch of ducks on the river by the camp, and when the men came I told them about the ducks and that they had lit again just a short distance down the river, so the foreman, J. H. Corrigan, took his gun and started after them along Black river, and when he got about 100 yartls from camp he discovered two dead men floating along the bank on the south side, so they were in Gila county and on the San Carlos Indian Reservation, as the Black river divides Gila and Apache counties and the Apache and San Carlos Indian reservations. Of course he came right back to camp and we all went and took a look, ancf then I sent one of our Indians with a note to Superintendent Davis at White river agency telling him what we had found. Tho Indian did not get the noto delivered until yesterday morn ing, but fearing such might be the case I sent a copy of it by the first auto which came along, and this reached Mr. Davis shortly after five. White river agency is 26 miles north of here. Mr. Davis wired for, the sheriff and coroner from Globe and yesterday Mr. Davis and the doctor and several other men from White river and the captain and a sergeant and three Apache Indian scouts came over from Fort Apache and the cor oner and district attorney and deputy N sheriff and deputy U.

Public Health Service has just issued a publication dealing with Spanish influenza, which con- tains all known available infor- mation regarding this disease. Simple methods relative to its prevention, maner of spread, and care of patients, arc also given. Readers may obtain copies of this pamphlet freo of charge by writ- ing to the "Surgeon General, U. S. Public Health Service, Wash- ington, D. C." L. C. RILEY QUALIFIED FOR COUNTY RECORDER That the Republicans made a splen did selection in nominating L. C. Riley for county recorder is heard on all sides end especially among those who arc well acquainted with the man and the duties of the office. Mr. Riley has shown his splendid business qualifications in his business relations with the public as manager of the local telephone exchange and in other ways during his residence in Flagstaff. He has never before been a candidate for public office, but has always been a booster for his friends. Whenever there was patriotic work or other work of a public nature to be done, no one that knew him was afriad to yell: "Come on, Riley," and there was no question but he was on the job from start to finish for the good of the cause. That he is a friend of the working man goes without saying, for he comes from among those who make their bread by the sweat of their brow. Thrown upon his own resources and with his own way to make in the world since early manhood, he has demonstrated without a complaint his ability to do so. Owing to the fact that fate has dealt most unkindly with him during the past few months, in the death of his wife, he has not been able to meet the voters in all parts of the coun try, but is in hopes that he will be able to see them all before election day. There will be no piistake if you mark your ballot for L. C. Riley on election day, for he will deliver the goods. tr O . CLOCKS TURN BACK AN HOUR ON OCTOBER 27 Sunday, October 27. is the day for ,turning the clock back an hour, ac- i cording to the federal law enacted by .Congress March 19, 1918. The law, after reciting the limits of the time zones, in section 3, reads: ( "At 2 o'clock antemeridian, of tho last Sunday in March each year (March 31, 1918) the standard time of each zone shall be advanced one hour, and at 2 o'clock antemeridian, of the last Sunday in October in each year (October 27, 1918) the stand- 1 ard time of each zone shall, by the retarding of one hour, be returned to I the mean stronomical time of the de gree governing the said zone." The law is known throughout the Allied nations as the daylight saving law and was designed to cause earlier rising by Americans during the long days and a saving in bills for artifi cial lighting. Many Flagstaff people have noticed that their electric light bills at home were less than in former summer months. OF E tlinate enough to get to the sawmill, and the U. S. government sawyer brought them on over here. We fished the two men out of the river, cut all their clothes off, took what few things they had on them and held an inquest, then buried them together in a big grave. The bodies were pretty badly swollen and somewhat decom posed. It was sure some mean job getting them out of the river and re moving their clothing and. getting them into the grave. We had to take their clothing, etc., so that hey might later be identified, as we have no idea' who they were, except one of them had told a trader over on White river mat his father was a contractor in Dem ing. Each of them had a ring, one of them silver and the other gold, with a pretty ruby stone. One had an old employe's time card on the Globe divi sion of the S. P., 30c and a grip key, the other one had nothing. They had clothing similar to soldiers and one had leggins everything was gone. Either the murderer had taken it or he had sunken it in the river with rocks. Thev were seen to have sol diers' hats and side arms automatic .45 Colts and a little money, the day before. Last evening after the in quest the deputy U. S. marshal and deputv sheriff and Apache scouts and one of our Indians who had seen and talked with the men the night before they were killed, all started north in outos after the murderer, as he was seen vesterdav morninfir with his burro outfit about 20 miles north of White river, and I have no doubt they will get him probably have gotten him before this.' I hope so, anyway. When we arrived here the night of the 26th of September, all, three of the men (Continued on Page Two.) 111 MEN "SPANISH INFLUENZA," "THREE-DAY FEVER," AND '"THE FLU" History of This Disease and Va rious Symptoms Which May Be Noted. UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE, Rupert Blue, Surgeon General. What is Spanish Influenza? Is it something new? Does it come from Spain? The disease now occurring in this country and called "Spanish Influ enza" resembles a very contagious kind of "cold" accompanied by fever, pains in the head, eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body, and a feeling of severe sickness. In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or -four days the patient then rapidly recovering; some of the pa tients, however, develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the ear, or menin gitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether this so-called "Spanish" influenza is identical with the epidemics of influenza of earlier, years is not yet known. Epidemics of influenza have visited this country since 1647. It is interest ing to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencia, Spain. Since that time there have been numerous epidemics of the dis ease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia, and thence over practically the entire civ ilized world. Three years later there was anothr flare-up of the disease. Both times the epidemic spread widely over the United States. Although the present epidemic Is called "Spanish influenza" there is no reason to believe that it originated in Spain. Some writers who have stud ied the question believe that the epi demic came from the Orient and they call attention to the fact that the Ger mans mention the disease as occurring along the eastern front in he summer and fall of 1917. How Can "Spanish Influenza" Be Rec ognized? There is as yet no certain way in which a single case of "Spanish in fluenza" can be recognized on the other hand, recognition is easy where there is a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur in thej cold months, epidemics" or mnuonza may occur at any season of the year, thus the present epidemic raged most intensely in Europe in May, June, and July. Moreover, in the case of ordi nary colds, the .general symptoms (fever, pain depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are influenza. Finally, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so exten sively as does influenza. In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather sud denly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may bo sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of the pa tients complain of feeling chilly, and (Continued on Page Two.) o ,., ,, "TERMS" FOR A MAD DOG? The great fear of the Amen- can people today is that terms other than unconditional surren- dcr may be given Germany. This may be without founda- tion. but no- other terms, than un t conditional surrender will satisfy the people. The beastly Hun with his atro- cious acts so blood-thirsty and in- human as to have utterly dis- gusted the most savage tribes of the earth, can never be adequate- ly punished by the Allies; no -r rlvili'f n.ition on earth could de- vifii nnd r.irrv out a devilish pun- ishment that would fit their crimes. finrmanv asklnc for terms? . What terms could be given a mad dog? . What guarantee would the Al- lies have that any terms agreed upon would not be "a mere scrap of paper?" , There no terms for the Hun only a termiantion of his beastly rule forever. The man or woman who talks Smw terms" is un-American: the Hun peace talk is made by the Hun in hopes that he may escape some of the just punish- ment that God knows and he knows he so justly deserves. By all the Blood and Bonds we have, this putrid spot in Europe should be blotted out, so blotted out that not one seed of its can- cerous growth should ever scar the face of earth again. Peace terms with a mad dog? Anything but unconditional sur- render makes the average Ameri- can's blood boil. 4 o Prof. Edick Passes Away. P,rof. R. O. Edick, head of the train ing department of the Normal school, died Wednesday following an attack of influenza with other complications. Prof. Edick recently came to Flagstaff with his family from the southern part of the state to take the position at the Normal. The remains were taken to the Ari zona Undertaking Parlors and pre pared for shipment to his old home in Wisconsin on No. 8 yesterday morn ing. Prof. Edick leaves a1 wife and three children. EPIDEMIC OF "FLU" NOT ALARMING HERE "Conditions in Flagstaff are not alarming and there are very few cases of sickness that are se- rious," Is the statement of Coun- ty Health Officer Wilson. "There is nothing to be alarm- eu about, for wo nave the best climate in the world to withstand the influenza as well as most other diseases. The epidemic here is in a mild form and all it needs is reasonably good treatment to prevent any serious results. merely because every precaution has been taken to prevent as much suffering as possible, should not alarm the people. This epidemic, like all others, will spend its force in a short time and all that is beinir done is to brine about that end as quickly as possible." "Observe the simple rules of health, stay away from public places as much as possible, thus contribute to public welfare." ad- vised Dr. Wilson. CORP. JAMES A. VAIL NOW AT THE FRONT Somewhere in France, Wednesday, 14-18. Dear Folks: Just a few lines while I have the time to spare, to let you know I re ceived your most welcomed letters some days past, and it was more than a treat to hear from home. This is sure some country, and I rather like it. We are having dandy weather just at present. It gets rather hot in the daytime, but cools off at night. The people here are sure hard-working people and they all work in the fields, as it is time to put up their crops, and the women work harder than the men; they also take their cows out in the morning and keep them out until late in the cevning and do their milking in the dark. ' The cows, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, chickens and family alt live under the same roof, and their houses all look like one big barn. They cut their grain by reapers, some are hand-reaners and some are machines. but mostly hand-reapers. The men do j the cutting and the women tie the bundles. Their thrashing machines are of an old style. They put a horse in a chute and he starts walking on an endless chain and that starts the tnnrhine to workini: thi faster tho iuforse walks the faster the machine works. Well, I suppose it won't he long until the girls start back to their schools. I would sure like to see them before they leave, but I hope it won't be long before we return to the States. Well, Mother and all, I will close for this time, hoping this letter will find you all well. Love to all. Write soon. Tell all to write. Bye-bye. Your son, . CORP. JAMES A. VAIL, F. Co., 362 Inf., A.

Ross is 19 years of age and has served three years in the army. He has a brother that is now a lieutenant in the army and another brother that has been drafted. Young Ross is anxious to get back into the army and does not understand why he committed the of fense. If the army will receive him, the court may suspend entering any judgment and allow him to get back into the army. Judge Perkins has returned from Phoenix, where he held court a couple days. R. R.

COSTIGAN One of the saddest deaths'to occur in Flagstaff in many a day was that of Mrs. J. J. Costigan, who passed away at the Milton Hospital Wednes day afternoon after an Illness of less than a week's duration. She was taken to the hospital on Monday evening suffering from pneu monia, brought on by an attack of in fluenza. For a time there were hopes for her reroverv and she showed some improvement the day beforo her death, but a turn came for the worst Wed nesday and, surrounded by her family, she passed to tho great beyond where there is no suffering. Mrs. Costigan was one of the high est types of womanhood, beloved by a large circle of friends endeared by her splendid character and gentle, gra cious ways. Her loss will be felt by many besides the heart-broken hus band and three little boys, whose loss is irreparable. The father of Mrs. Costigan will ar rive this evening or tomorrow from Kansas City and the funeral services will be held tomorrow at an hour set after his arrival. The funeral services will be conducted by Father Vabre. "I IS? MB DECLARES THE FOURTH LIBERTY COMMITTEE There was a strenuous, earnest meeting of the County Liberty Loan Committee Wednesday evening at the Arizona Central bank, called by Chair man Pollock for the purpose of put ting the finishing touches on Coconino county's quota. About $260,000 of the $460,900 has been raised and the time is up next Saturday. There will be no extension of time. It was decided at this meeting to use the county tax roll as a basis upon which the remainder of the fund should be raised; however, this was not to exclude others who do not hap pen to pay taxes in proportion to their wealth. Prompt action Is to be taken and the following notice will be sent out today, showing just how each one stands and what they should do to bring about desired results at once: "At a meeting of the general com mittee of the Fourth Liberty Loan for Coconino county held the evening of October 9th, it was evident that our allotment of 5460,900.00 could not be raiwd by voluntary subscriptions and solicitations.

The snow piles deep on this range and we carried mail on snow shoes. Along in the winter, this La Grippe raged in Sawyers Bar. There was no resident doctor there, and it cost $50 to have the doctor go over. So, only in cases of dire necessity was the doc tor called and when he arrived it was usually too late. Two doctors prac ticed in Etna. Dr. C. W. Nutting, a splendid, old style southerner, and Dr. E. W.

We stated the case to Dr. Nutting, and asked if he could not give a gen eral prescription, but he thought it im. practicable. Then we told Dr. Bathurst our troubles, and he said yes.

Vic Hanny, the noted "two-gun man" of Phoenix, turned his plant for the prevention of nakedness over to Chief Necktie Knotter Geary, last week, gathered up an armful of guns and percolated into thcwoodsBouth of Bellemont, a section inhabited, by Harry Gray and his sheep during the summer. Vic has a mean disposition and wants to lull things. An soon as he had untwisted himself and found a trail leading away from the house, he engaged Harry Gray as guide for fear he might runacross a fence some where and have to go 'round it, and started out to slay something. In order not to waste any time, he cocked his gun before leaving the house, wiped his nose and was ready for any wild game that might attempt to an noy him. Within less than 800 miles of the house they came across a small pond or tank of water entirely sur rounded by millions of acres of land. Both men halted abruptly and sig naled with their voices that they were approaching nearer to where silence should be more noticeable. The two men had hardly gotten firmly braced against three or four trees before a fierce wild gobbler, all covered with feathers, strode majestically into view. The wind blew and the trees shivered. The wild bird walked to the pond and kicked it into a frappe, tasted it and winked at a humming bird that was teasing a squirrel. Harry Gray gradually pushed the tree he was holding away from him and made a noise with his ears like a pinon nut to attract the attention of the bird while Vic hunted through his purse for ri head: when he had found ' he care fully wiped off his trigger finger and and tested it to see that it had pulling power. Then, after looking into the muzzle of the gun to ee that it was full of deadly missiles, placed it against his shoulder and, looking in the direction of the turkey, pulled the tritnrer. Banc! The srun was un loaded. Gray threw an armful of trees around the turkey, vie, wntn a great noise in his head and a stinging pain in his shoulder, staggered back a half mile to Ket away from the awful pow der smoke. In his death acronies the tamed wild gobbler whipped the pond into a fog. Vic had fatally wounded the bird in both feet and comb.
