Cochise county to redistrict under new laws
The Tombstone Prospector reports the new Board of Supervisors will redraw Cochise county districts on January 1 under the supervisoral and legislative districting laws. Douglas, Bisbee, and the remaining area would form three districts with equal population and a countywide vote for nominees. The legislative law grants two extra representatives, totaling nine for Cochise, aiming for balanced regional representation. Reports from Mexico note a commission will survey Southern Pacific lines for damages and reparations from revolutionary unrest, with SP seeking about 16 million dollars in property loss. A large New Year’s Eve event is advertised at the Auditorium.

End of War Stamp Campaign in Arizona Sees Weak Early Decales
Dec 24 Phoenix reports show over half of Arizona counties plan year end drives to meet War Savings Stamps quotas for 1918. Postmaster Selim J. Michelson notes outside Maricopa County earlier reports were disappointing, with several counties posting the poorest monthly effort. Holiday season and Christmas gifts of Baby Bonds and Thrift Stamps are cited as factors, though pledged buyers could still lift the state's standing from 22nd toward the top if they act in the final week.
