THE TRUE Division removal

SITUATION talk permeates the
air in and around Williams. Lots
of people are severely afflicted with
nervous prosperity" on the
thought of division removal"
The removal of the terminal of the
third division of the Santa Fe Pa
cific from Seligman to Williams is
continually buzzed about in face of
the fact that the company is going
right ahead with permanent term
inal facilities at Seligman at n
great expense. Admitting the fact
that expenses seldom enter into the
calculations of a railroad company,
vet again it must be admitted that
corporations, like individuals, do
not undertake great expenses when
they are assured of n change. The
News can authoratively state that
such a move might be made at
some future time, yet before that Is
done certain things must be over
come and certain great difficulties
entirely obliterated. To do these
things requires time, as time is the
essential in all changes of magni-
tude.

thoroughly conversant with every

/, myself, know of many thous-
ands of dollars that will be
expended there in the very
near future, if the people use
that same tact, loyalty and
cordiality which business men
exert in getting other new
business. Your big merchants
should wake up to this pros
pective gold stream which will
be expended and which will
profit and assist the commun-
ity, and which in time will
build up an enormous prop

Fate may pull down and Fate
may set up one man or another
man. Therefore, he who builds
a great building, a great city, a
great railroad, may die and be
forgotten, his family may pass
away in abiect poverty, but
the creation of his brain and
energy remains to bless and
advance the community and
enrich the units, regardless of
individuality. If you all per-
sist Williams is destined to be
a great town, and it will grow,
and flourish, and prosper. Ten
years is a little time in the
history of a town, and when
you measure ten years from
that momentous day in De-
cember, 1897, when / know
the fate of Williams hung in
the balance, and the railroad
drifted your way, the cards
were dealt to bring good for
tune to your little community.
Those who remain in Williams
in 1907 will see a glorious full
fillment of the dreams
of the pioneers OF 1897.
1t was a bold dream and a
forcible undertaking for a little
crowd of men, possessing so
small amount of capital, with
no financial backing and no
financial pull. 1t has been
accomplished, but who can say
through how many escapes and
turning of corners. The worst
is over and the best is to come.
There never was a battle of
any consequence unless some
men were killed and others

The Origin of Writing.

Arthur j. Evans, the discoverer of
the remains of a. great prehistoric pal
ace at Knossos. in Crete. which is be-
lieved to be the original of the tabled
Labyrinth" says that the revelations
made there carry back the existence of
written documents on Greek soil some
eight centuries beyond the earliest
known monuments of Greek writing.
and five centuries beyond the earliest
dated Phoenician record as seen on the
Moabite stone These discoveries. there
fore. 'place the whole question of the
origin of writing on a new basis" Mr..
Evans thinks that the Cretan hero
glyphs exactly correspond with what
in virtue of their names, we must sup
pose to have been the pictorial orig
inals of the Phoenician letters on which
the alphabet is based. Among these
are Aleph, the ox's head; Beth, the
house; Daleth, the door. and so forth
