The Other Side of the Story
Doings of the Canadian Party While in Williams

Last week we printed an article taken from the Herald, published at Calgary, Alberta, by a member of the Western Canada Press asso- citation, descriptive of the trip and a few of his impressions regarding Williams In the article the state ment was made that "there are nu- merous fine saloons in Williams, in which gambling games of all kinds, including roulette, faro, crap shoot ing, etc, are running constantly, and more particularly on Sunday, which happened to be one of the days the wandering scribe struck the town" How we'll they know the games were running The writer of the article must evidently have dropped his little wad and when he got this far, in his write up, he could not but display his sore spot That he went up against the real thing is shown by the fact that in his article he roasted" Gallup, Winslow and Williams alike, but the further west he came the more venemous became his pen as the smaller had become his pile.
 Williams. no doubt, considering that she is a typical western town, has more decency and less lawless- ness than is found in many a large eastern city, and many were the exclamations of surprise and dis gust at the free-and-easy manner in which some lady members of the party "hung around" the so-called gambling dens-
 Like every other frontier town, Williams has Front" street and a ''tenderloin district" and from the way the various members of the crowd "hung out" in that neighbor- hood it would seem that they had found their natural plane.
 At the time the train bearing the party arrived here on the return from the canyon, divine services were being held at a church located just three blocks from Front street. Did any of the wanderers" att tend? Nol They were not look ing for that side of life; yet, with the brazenness of those born to it, they would boldly enter the saloons as the good people and children of the city passed home from church.
 No doubt the writer of the article and his companions in the party would not have dared enter such places at home for fear of causing talk among their set, yet they over looked the fact entirely that such things are not forgotten by resi-

dents of any community, and that visitors are generally judged by their actions
 The Santa Fe and other roads over which the scribes passed no doubt dreamed of column after col umn of "puffs" the different sec tions of country through which their lines passed would receive at the hands of the press association, but if the article referred to is a fair sample of the free advertising our country is to receive, the rail- roads had better 'cut off" the Canadians" in the future.
 As a sample of a fair-minded mans criticism we reproduce be- low extracts from an article which appeared in an eastern paper last September, from the able pen of James M. Buckley, who arrived here a few days before the great fire:
 From Las Vegas I went to Will jams, Ariz-, by way of Albuquerque. Williams is good specimen of an Arizona mining and lumber town. There left the train, and, intend ing to make a detour to the Grand Canyon of Arizona, arranged to re- main several days in the vicinity.
 During the two days trip that l was at the canyon walked along the rim about sixteen miles, getting every possible view, but did not de scend the canyon; that was to have been the work of the next day.
 Returning from one of my ex- cursions, noticed a lady at the telephone who was much agitated, and I was informed that the whole town of Williams had been burned up, that relatives lived there, and shecould not hear whether her home was destroyed or any lives lost.
 "Whatl" said I, "the new fire proof hotel2" "Yes, that is gone" The trunk which I had left there was made for me in France and had travelled with me in many lands, and l had become attached to it. I therefore went at once to learn its fate. The hotel proprietor had given me his word that the trunk would be safe.
 "I learned from other sources that while the landlords own pos sessions were being consumed, he had remembered the trunk and or dered its removal, declaring that he had made himself responsible for it. Only two trunks and very little movable property was saved. The hotel and all its appurtenances

Of course they ac- cepted and were soon bidding their friends adieu.
 A few weeks subsequent to the above a travel-stained party arrived in Williams. Our friend Uncle Josh was in charge and led them straightway to the hotel.
 After breakfast" remarked the old gentleman, i've will go out and buy your outfit, and to expedite matters I will order a rig of Martin Buggeln's livery"
 The carriage arrives, and as Polly views the stylish turnout, with prancing horses, fine trappings, and Ed. Hoppinger in charge, she ex- pressed her delight.
 "This stable," remarked Uncle Josh, "is the best outfitted livery that l know of, and if you ever have to run to an off railroad town be sure and go there for a rig"
 "The basis of a home," continued Uncle Josh, "is a bit of mother earth,' so we will lose no time in

had pleased me very much; this fidelity to the interests of an ab- sent guest requires Bret Harte or a John Hay to celebrate it in worthy strains. I narrated the story to scores, and all who knew the man and there were many in my sub sequent tours, for he had kept hotels in several places said, "That is just like Tolfreel'
 "In Williams I spent a day per haps as interestingly as I had ever spent any day in any land. The town is a typical mining and lum- Der center. It has had a reputa- ton as one of the toughest towns in Arizona, and there were visible evidences in the shape of numerous saloons, gambling houses, and other elements of dissipation and riotous living, without distinction of sex, that gather in mountain towns. But there were also evidences of civilization-churches and people of substantial character. To some of these people l had the pleasure of being introduced.
 Until I saw that town rising from its still smoking ashes and embers, I had not fully conceived the mean ing of the word 'enterprise.'"

Williams news., 1902-03-01

The following is contributed by one of our prominent saloon men regarding the actions of the party:
 Having read the article in tended as a write up, or probably a roast, for the city of Williams, we feel it our duty to write this article in reply:
 He speaks very strongly against Williams, saying, apparently the main occupation of the people was gambling and that there was more shooting scrapes here than in any other town of its size in the United States. The gentleman was most likely misinformed by some one regarding the shooting. The people here are certainly as quiet and well behaved as any people on the globe. In regard to the gambling I can honestly say: There was more gambling in the city on the day the Canadian press representatives were here than in any other one day during the last year, the majority of the gambling having been done by the press representatives We did not think they would become soreheads because they lost a few dollars, as the games were opened on that day by their own request.

It was formerly thought that the
processes Of grinding and polishing
glass were continuous. but closer in
yestigation OF the subject has proved
that this is not the case. Glass grind
ing is effected by the use Of emery
powder CT various degrees OF fineness.
But it has been shown that this grind
ing cannot be carried beyond certain
point. however fine a powder may be
used. In fact. continuation Of it IN,

Bydrofuoric acid gas corrodes glass
very rapidly. but weak solution of it
melts away the rougbened surface and
leaves fine polish underneath. This
method is used where very fine adjust

for instance. in lenses for telescopes
and microscopes.

dust with it in the proportion Of three

It was to be a clandestine meeting
with Elaine. If Vincent thought Of his
duplicity at all, he simply hugged him
self for the inspiration Of it. He was
elated by the change in her attitude
toward him since she imagined him to
be the man who had curbed her fright
ened horse in the park.
Springing from the train, he glanced
up to the oyerhanging bluff and saw
her outlined against the autumn land
scape, fru and erect upon her own
Kitty and leading the mares riderless
companion by the bride. He hurried
TO her side, blushing crimson, as he al
ways did in her presence. with the
thought OF the lie he was acting heavy
upon him.
In their greeting was the brevity Of
good fellowship. He swung into the
saddle, and she smiled at his strength
and agility. Surely, she thought. if he
were not her preserver he had been
most wonderfully endowed to play the
part. She was satisfied TO believe in
him, whatever the violent skepticism
of her Aunt Buford.
She studied him as they rode along,

The Rappiesf Of Women.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell, in a recent
address to the Fortnightly Club of
Chicago, said she was convinced that
the American woman is the happiest
in the world. No higher testimonial
to our civilization could be- desired
no better tribute to the American man
could be asked. Under our civiliza-
ton women are very largely dependent
upon men for many of their conditions
Of happiness and when conditions are
prosperous and pleasant for the women
of America it is convincing proof that
the men of Amerca are behaving With
comparative decency and coming up
to the neighborhood Of their duty.
The fact that the number of men in
this country who are supported by
women has become very large and IS
increasing steadily has elevated the re-
spect and the pity also of the true
men of this country for women, but
to the superficial observer it would not
seem to have added to the sum Of
woman's happiness. The theory that
it could not have done so is based
upon ignorance of woman's nature.
Some of the shrewdest observers
have declared that woman never reach
es the heights of her possible happl-
ness until she bears the burden of
triAing mans support. All of us have
seen illustrations Of the strength and
splendor of woman's character under
such conditions. Many Of Us have eN-
pended our compassion upon such
women and our Indignation upon the
men for whom they made un-
speakable sacrifice but In DONG
50 we have proved that we real
" know very little about wom-
ans nature. The happiest woman is
the one who is dcing mcst of the work
that the man who should be her deFen-
dence should do Still we trust that
this is not the reason why Mrs. Patrick
Campbell asserts that the women OF
America are the happiest in the
World.-Atlanta Journal.

leaning farther forward upon the
rigid neck Of his flying horse, strain
ing the animal to the limit Of its
strength and speed, he saw only
Elaine, thought only Of Elaine.
In places the road was like ruined
staircase, the level pike beyond sepa-
rated from the gully only by a low
stone wall. Here Elaine would pay
for her rashness with her life unless
she fell before they reached the wall,
for the runaway would certainly leap
to destruction.
Into the broad, white road the mare
shot like living projectile and made
for the wall with the thunder of hoofs
behind her. Taking the obstacle, she
sweryed from the force Of equine hab-
it.
That was the moment.
vincent's horse crashed upon the
mare, and both animals reeled from
the shock. The fugitive went over the
wall. but Elaine was safe in the arms
of Vincent. Her foot providentially
slipped from the stirrup, but he was
hard put to keep her from slipping to
the ground.
He heard her mutter incoherently:
81 did it on purpose-to see-if you
actually would do it-and she-she
really ran away. Oh. Vincent" And
thus they clung together while the del
uge poured upon them.
.There they come at last" said Mrs.
Buford, with satisfaction and retribu-
ton mingling in her tones. He is a
stupid impostor. and he cannot deny
the proofs I now have"
Two rain soaked figures mounted the
steps and came into the house. Like
an avenging angel, Mrs. Buford barred
their entrance to the library. In one
hand she held a photograph. in the
other an open letter.
AMr. Vincent Merrill. believe you
call yourself?"
:sThat is my name" was his proud
reply.
81 may inform you, sir, that the de-
tectives whom 1 employed to find the
real savior of my niece declare that
you are simply masquerading as the
individual in this portrait" She drew
herself up several inches. "The genu-
inc hero turns out to be poor denizen
Of the east side suspected of some pet
" theft and anxious to avoid publicity
through fear of the police. That is
why we were unable to locate and
properly reward him. My younger

ment. In fact, she has been your
dupe''
Elaine gasped. but Mrs. Buford con-
tinued remorselessly:

you to say for yourself|

where water was oozing from his boots
in muddy puddles.
