WILLIAMS IS THE
 COMING TOWN

Once agaln, with the klnd per mission of our readers, we must re- fer to Williams as the coming town of Northern Arizona. That this is so, one has only to point to the in- terest taken in the towns welfare by its citizens. No place ever amounted tO much whose residents let things run along in a free and easy manner without any attempt on the part of those most vitally interested to create stability and infuse into the minds of all the ne cessity of doing something. That period, so far as Williams is con eerned, was long ago distanced, but now that the town is on a firm foundation. the good work must not be discontinued
 The coming summer will witness many radical changes for the bet torment and up-building of this section. Not the least of these will be the resumption of work on a large scale in the Canyon mining district. This district is yet prac- tically in its infancy, sufficient de velopment work having been done, however, to convince those inter ested that their properties are good enough to tie to and that with proper facilities for the reduction of the ores on the ground the mines will immediately become paying properties
 some time since, experiments have and are being made to prove be- yond the shadow of a doubt the practicability of the George process for the reduction of the ores of this district. When this has been dem onstrated, and that it will be there is no question, a large plant will be immediately installed at the mines.
 Will this be of any benefit to Williams? Who can ask?
 Then the travel to the canyon is growing to such an extent that 1t will be necessary to run at least two trains a day each way this summer in order to care for the regular travel, to say nothing of the special cars and trains of tourists to view this greatest of all sight seers' Meccas-
 Will this benefit Williams? It will mean that another large hotel will be installed here. One hotel will not be able to accommodate half those who will stop over on the trip. Right here we might say that it would toe a good move for the citizens to look after these same tourists and create some sort of di- version for them-such as trips to the top of Bill Williams; carriage

drives into the country to various points; cottages might be erected on the beautifully wooded slopes of the mountain side and hundreds, not only from the north and east, be persuaded to stop and enjoy our beautiful and ideal summer cli- mate, but our own brethren of the southern portion of the territory might be induced to come here, en- joy themselves, have a most de- lightful summer outing and spend their money within the borders of our glorious territory.
 In order to accomplish this last some advertising will have to be done, either by private individuals or the town, and in either case it will give large returns.
 It is just about a settled fact that the railroad company, for various reasons, will return the division point to Williams during the com ing summer
 As stated above, Williams will have to have another hotel to ac- commodate the tourists, and from information we have received it ap- pears the company anticipated this fact when the Harvey house at Se- ligman was constructed, for it was put up in sections, that it might readily be torn down and removed -where2 To Williams, of course The company has realized that hauling freight over long, noun tainous divisions is not a paying proposition, and we are firmly con- vinced that action will be taken at no distant day to move the division hither. It is not necessary to men, ton anything about the benefit which would result to Williams from such action.
 Taken all in all, the prospects are very hattering, not only to Williams alone, but all the country tributary to her.

Nos 1 and 7 were caught behind a freight wreck this side of Las Vegas Sunday and arrived here al- most ten hours late Monday. Ac- cording to the report twelve cars were ditched, a brakeman sustained a broken arm and a tramp who was stealing a ride was SO badly crushed that he may not recover. It is said the wreck was caused by the drop ping of a draw bar which fell across the rails.

LAND LEASING
 AN OPINION
HON. w. C. BARNES, OF NEW MEX Ico. THINKS A LEASE LAW
 IS DESIRABLE

W. C. Barnes. of Dorsey. CoIfax county. N. NJ, councilman in the fer ritoriai legislature, in an interview in an Fl Paso paper. expressed some very decided opinions regarding the land leasing proposition recently sub- mitted to congress. Among other things he said
 The cattlemen of New Mexico will have ample time to regret their loss of the lease law. which was fram- ed by the American Cattlemen's as- scci2tioa, and had presented to cCa54e@s at its last session. I think that the small cattlemen have been led around by the nose in the matter by designing politicians. They do not know what is the best thing for them selves. I have been a small cattle owner all my life and I can say that l was forced to leave Arizona because there could be no land leased. and I am positive that had there been a land lease law in Arizona passed when the cattle men wanted it, there would have been thousands of cattle where today there are hundreds
 New Mexico cattlemen will have the same fate as those who were forced out of Arizona
 T think this will be especially the case. since the decision that all fences on the range must come down. That decision was made, I am certain. by the department to bring the cattlemen to their senses. I have heard of it's deleterious effects upon the business
  afford to have their cattle run at large over the open range are offering their cattle for sale at greatly reduced rates.
 Il predict that unless some plan is devised to secure a lease law for New Mexico, within the next five years. that the cattle industry of the terri tory will feel such a blow as it has never felt. Politics is at the bottom Of the whole business. and if you will make inquiries you will find that the most strenuous opposition to the pas sage of a land lease law comes from the sheep men of the territory, who want all the range for themselves.
 Tt is my opinion that a lease. law will be passed by congress. as soon as the election is decided in the next presidential campaign. The republi- cans do not think 1t would be good politics to pass one just at present
 T can see where they are right. be- cause there is great deal of opposi- tion to the lease land law caused from a misapprehension of the situation, and should the republican party at tempt to pass the law at this time. they would undoubtedly lose the ter ritory at the next election. But in the end they would see how they would be benefited by the law, and they would come around all right
 T am leasing land on the Maxwell grant and would not be in the cat tie business under any other condi- tions. I think that the sentiment will gradually change in the matter and l hope this fence decision will bring the cattlemen to their senses"

CANANEA
 PROGRESSING
DESCRIPTIVE INTERVIEW FROM
 r. H. COLLINS OF GLOBE
Not One-Man Camp-Eneouraeme Offered to Outsiders Looking for Location


 Location
 Dr. T. H. Collins, of Globe, return, ed from Cananea last evening, where he has been for the past week look ing over the field with the view oi locating.
 He speaks very encouragingly oi the outlook at that point and says if that camp was in the United States it would contain fifty thousand pep pie instead of the present inhabit- ants. T believe that the Cananeas has made as much progress in two years as almost any other mining camp has in twenty. The develop ment work is simply wonder. There is a greater amount than one would expect from information he obtains before going there"
 This certainly is not the one mans camp, as frequently stated. MT Greene and the management give en- couragement to any one who comes to them with a legitimate proposition and there is no reason why any one going there should not succeed When 1 stated to Mir Greene that l wanted to come to tCananea and start up a. drug store and practice medicine at that point he told me to go to the company archi- feet, select my plans for a residence, and he would guarantee to have it completed within the required time, which l asked Others gave sim lar experiences upon going to Cana neR
 The company does require that certain grounds, known as company ground, located about the offices, be used only for company purposes and this is strictly adhered to. But across a wire fence which is strung out to designate the line, ev- cry manner of competing business exists.
 There are certain portions of the town which are occupied by an unde- sirable element but this class has been given notice to vacate and af- ter that time the ground will be plac- ed in a sanitary condition.
 The new town upon the mesa is the delightful residence portion of Cananea. An electric car line will connect this with the business DOT ton and made very reasonable for res idences.
 The numerous houses which have been built for the miners and labor CTS at the mine are rented to them at a very reasonable figure and no one else can get a house under any con sideration in this location.
 The hospital appliances are espe- -cially fine ana up-to-date-no finer equipment can be found anywhere in mining camps. I have made up my mind to go to Cananea and will re turn to Globe at once to complete ar rangements with that end in view"

 Don't Blame the Union"
 The blowing up of the Congress pump ing plant on Date Creek Saturday night was a dastardly outrage, and the perpetrators should be punished to the full limit of the law. There is considerable talk about the Min CTS Union being responsible for the deed, and while there is little doubt but that the work was the outcome of the strike, we hestitate to believe that the Miners Union. as union. had anything to do with it, or even knew that such an act was contem- plated. Nine chances to one. it was the work of some foreigner, who, while he may have been a member of the union. did the deed entirely upon his own responsibility.
 Now that this unfortunate occur renee has taken place the least the Congress Miners Union can do is to ferret out the criminal or criminals and show themselves to be bIameless in the matter. The News-Herald is not in sympathy with unions when they are the cause of such work as this. directly or indirectly. but we be- lieve they should be given a fair chance to show themselves innocent of any wrong-doing in this particular notwithstanding News-Herald.

WORK In NOBLEsVILLE.


r. S. Truitt, one of the publishers of the
Noblesville Ledger, was in the city a few
hours yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Truitt says
that the chief thing Of interest in his city
at present is the work that is being done on
the interurban electric road.
The contractors are at work in Mobiles
vile now" he said, land our streets are
all torn up. They are pushing the work
rapidly. but do not believe they will have
the road In operation for five or six months
yet. Some of our merchants are complain
ing because the streets being torn zap
at this time OF year, just when the holiday
rush is coming on but | guess IL will not
interfere seriously with business, and they
will all be glad to see the cars running.
Three or four years ago, when the inter-
urban question first came up, our business
men. like those of many other small cities,
were opposed 10 the idea. They feared that
an electric line connecting Nobiesvite with
Indianapolis would ruin. their business but
they have got over that prejudice now.
They have seen in other county seats that.
while the interurban takes some business
away IL brings a little more in. Mobiles
VILE will lose some business to Indianapo-
lis, probably, but il will gain considerably
more from the smaller towns and rural dis
tficts"

CHILDREN PLAY IN COURT.
Their Parents Are EndeavOring to
Become Legally Separated.

The domestic troubles of Louis II. Meyer
and his wife, Charlotte M. Meyer, were
aired in the divorce trial yesterday before
Judge Allen in the Circuit Court. Both
Mrs. Myer and her husband filed applica-
tions for divorce. In her complaint Mrs.
Meyer accused her husband of neglect and
said that he frequently went to the Empire
Theater and left her alone. He failed TO
provide for her. neglected their two chill
dren and on one occasion when in fit of
anger struck her in the face, Mrs. Meyer
alleges In his complaint Meyer said his
wife was poor housekeeper, hard to get
along with and was continually doing
things to aggravate him. He says she
failed to prepare his meals, cursed him and
took much pleasure in alluding to him as
Jack ass" and fool and other names
calculated to convey the impression that
he was not well thought of by her.
During the trial the two children. little
white-headed, bright-eyed boys, played
around the courtroom and wonderingly
explored the mysteries of the corners and
out of the way places. The case was not
completed during the afternoon.

MAY NOT FILE AN APPEAL
AN INTIMATION FROM c. c. HADLEY,
ATTORNEY FOR JENNINGS.
w. ". Rocker Has Not Yet Filed a Mo-
ton to Set Aside Judges Ruling
Other Cases in the Courts.

c. c. Hadley, who was the principal at
torney for the defendants in the suit of
David A. Jennings against a number of
Salem, Ind. citizens, said yesterday that
there is little probability of the defend
ants appealing the case TO the United
States Supreme Court or of asking for a
new trial before the District Court. The
jury returned a verdict in this case Tues
day morning awarding Jennings $50 dam
ages. He sued for 100000 damages. w.
V. Rocker. attorney for the plaintiff. has
not filed his formal motion to set aside
the ruling made by Judge Baker that the
costs of the case should be equally di-
vided between the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANTS. Mr.. Rocker contends that under
the law the defendants should pay all the
costs, as the verdict exceeded $500.
The costs of the case aggregated 1894
Under the ruling made by Judge Baker
the plaintiff will have TO pay half the
costs which amount TO $S49.72. This does
not include his attorneys fees.

AN ARTISTS EXHIBIT.
Work of Miss Sarena Adline Hogan
Now Being Displayed.


The art exhibit of Miss Sarena Adline
Hogan is being conducted this week at her
home S23 North Delaware street. Miss
Hogan is one Of the younger generation of
local artists. and the products of her
brush are attracting wide attention among
art lovers. Her ability is not confined
to any one kind of art as her work very
readily shows, and she displays equal
ability in water colors china painting and
burnt wood work. Although the latter is
comparatively a new art and requires
great skill to give finish to the work, Miss
Hogan proves herself equal to the task
In this kind of work she is an expert and
as she does all of her own designing there
is originality about everything that she
does Her burnt wood patterns cover a
wide scope and the stiffness of lines and
curves which is so noticeable in the work
terms is entirely lacking. Much of this
work is colored in oils, which makes a
very pretty and unique design and as the
combination is something new and original
cipal part of this exhibit is large fire
screen ornamented with the picture of a
woman which is colored in oils.
A large part of the exhibit is devoted to
Miss Hogan's china painting, and her work
is much above the average. Her portrait
painting on this ware is realistically done
and in the majority of cases her models
are taken from life. Two berry dishes
with the accompanying fruit plates and a
huge punch bowl among the best evil
dences of her skill in this work.
In the exhibition of water colors Miss
Hogan deserves credit, for her work dis
plays smoothness and a completeness
which is rarely obtained by other artists
This collection is composed mostly of por-
traits and landscapes of which there is a
large number. Miss Hogan's pictures have
been shown in a number OF exhibits away
from here, and they have always at
tracted attention. This young artist de-
voted all of last winter to study and
teaching in Chicago, and in the early
spring she will leave for New York, where
she will remain indefinitely, devoting her
time to study and teaching.
