ONE of the plans for securing electric power from the Colorado river will soon be put into execu- tion at the Canyon. The plant will be installed in such a manner that ample power can be secured at all times-during high or low water. In order to overcome the rise and fall of the river a large double-boat shaped float will be erected, with a power wheel, subject to the action of the current, in the center.

AMONG Williams most progress sive citizens is one who claims to have the interests of the commu- nity at heart. This same progress sive citizen the other day solicited some printing from q resident on which he made a price, and, of course, the work, and most of the money, would have been sent out of town had he secured the job. Before his bid had been made the NEWS had set a price on the same work, which, we have since learned, was just 30 per cent less Moral: Patronize home business houses.

 A little less personalities in the newspapers of Kingman, and more news, would be of far more benefit to the town. The reading public care nothing for their personal spleen; it's the news they want.

Cotton in a Bad Way.

Washington-The monthly report
of the statistician of the department
of agriculture shows the average
condition of cotton August 26, to
have been 64, as compared with 81
'99 July 25; TIA August "A, 1901;
6S.2 September l, 1900, and ten
year average of 1871. The present
unprecedentedly low average OF con-
dition which is two-tenths of point
lower than the condition September
1, 1896, is due mainly to the reports
from Texas and Alabama, in which
States the prevailing conditions are
nothing less than disastrous. The
average for Texas is three points
lower than at the corresponding date
in 1895 and 1901, and is the lowest
ever reported for that State.
The averages of conditions in the
different States are as follows: Vlr-

Carolina "a, Georgia eS, Florida Is,
Alabama 81, Mississippi 6S, Louis
