Georgia Minstrels.

w hen Richards & Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels appear at the opera house on Saturday, Jan. 23, the public will see the most ex- pensive colored show ever organized. If any doubts of the absolute truth fulness of this statement exists it will be forever dispelled when the performance is given.
 It must be confessed now that there were doubts in the minds of the management about their being able to make the giving of so vast and expensive show with any profit, and as a matter of fact the business ordinarily done by other shows would not have been profitable, but it was immensely protita ble, and packed houses rule everywhere.
 The program is a lengthy one, and made up of great variety. The street parade at noon is q novelty, two bands in daily parade.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Reasons Why the Home Mer.
 chants Should be PatrOnized

A thorough going man ought to always be willing to pay a little more for an article in his home town than the same thing would cost him in Chicago. There is no man yet found or invented who can do business without expense, and out in this western country every mans expense account is some thing to be reckoned with. The req son for this is that we consume so much and produce so little. As the country settles up and we produce much more the cost of living and other expenses will be materially re- duced. Your home town is not only your maj ket for what you have to buy, but it is also your market for what you have to sell. If the home merchant charges you little more for what you purchase at his store, remember, also, that he is perhaps paying you little more for what you have to sell than you could get for it at points where merchandise may be cheaper.
 The home merchant helps to build your school houses, your churches, your bridges, your public roads, and just about everything else you call upon him for. He is your friend in the hour of need, and you owe him fair and decent treatment, such as you would de- mand for yourself under similar circumstances. Be fair, and bear in mind that the little handful of people now in this section are all engaged in the same laudible under taking of building up the country and trying to make an honest dol- lar so as to be able to pay as they go. Every dollar spent at home for articles that can be purchased here is just that much towards the upbuilding of the country by keep ing the money circulating at home where we can all get chance at it. There are lots of ways by which every progressive citizen can assist in the upbuilding and development of the country, and the man who is buy ing what he needs outside of his home town, is not looking for a method by which he can assist in advancing the public veal. He is too narrow between the eyes to be able to see an opportunity that is located a stones throw from selfish purposes, and such men are worth but little to their respective com- munities.

An Important Case.

The sheep industry of northern Arizona will be interested in the re- hearing of the case of the United States vs. Dent, which will come up during the Supreme Court that con venes in this city on the 11th in stant. This case was brought before the United States Court in the Judicial District, at Prescott, almost two years ago, the case being brought to trial as test case, and had reference to pasturing of sheep on the forest reserves without per init. The controversy occurred over the point as to whether or not the Secretary of the Interior had the right or power to prescribe rules governing the grazing privilege, a violation of which was punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both. The Supreme Court a year ago re- versed the decision of the lower court but the attorney for the government was given re-hearing. It is an acknowledged fact that the Con- stitution of the United States does not confer on the President any power what ever to originate legis- lation of any character. nor is there anything in the Constitu- ton that authorizes congress to transfer it's power to legislate to any other department or any official of the government. A rule esta blish- ing penalties for it's violation or so near to it as to be practically one and the same thing. In fact con- gross has now before it bill to right this very wrong, which is an admission that there was something lacking in the old way of doing business; that the Interior Depart ment was treading on dangerous ground in the formulating of it's rules.-Stockman.

Nine Years Record

The United Verde and Pacific railroad has made a record which is probably without parallel. It has been in operation little over nine years, is twenty-eight miles long, and is probably the crookedest road in the world, with heavy grades. It has operated two trains each way per day., nearly every day since it was opened for traffic, and very large portion of the time three trains each way per day, and has never had an accident yet resulting in any serious injury to employe or passen- ger, or amounting to $1150 damages to equipment. Each railroad divis- ion in the United States, says the Journal Miner, is required to furn- ish monthly report to the Inter- state Commerce Commission giving the accidents which have occurred during the month, resulting in per- sonal injuries to employees or pas sengers or to property damage amounting to $50 or more. The road has clean sheet up to the present time.

Grand Canyon Service.

In order that it's passengers may make the trip to the Grand Canyon with ease, the Santa Fe has ar ranged for a special train once a week to connect at Williams with the California limited; this in ad- dition to the present daily service. The train will leave Williams at 1O:3O p. m., on Fridays and will arrive at Grand Canyon at 1:3O a. m., the next morning. Returning the special will leave Grand Can yon at and arrive at Williams at $50 p. m., the same evening. This gives direct communication with the California limited.
 A Pullman palace sleeping car will also be run by the Santa Fe between Los Angeles and Grand Canyon on each Thursday, begin ming January 7. This car will leave Los Angeles on train No. 2 at s p. m., on Thursdays and will connect with the Grand Canyon. Return ing the car will leave Williams on train No. at 12:06 p. m., on Mon days and will arrive in Los Angeles at S:25 a. m. Tuesdays.
 Thomas Bell returned from Elm init county, Texas, last week. It will be remembered that MT. Bell was taken there about three weeks ago on the charge of having killed a man more than twenty years ago. AS soon as MT. Bell arrived in Elm init county, he was admitted to bail in the sum of 5000 and re- turned home. MT. Bell does not deny having killed the man, but says that he either had to kill the Mexican or get killed himself. From the fact that Mir. Bell was promptly released on a nominal bond the Texas authorities evident ly regard it as very weak case against him.-Guardian.

OPERA HOUSE WANTED
Concerted Action and a Little
 Boosting All That's Needed


 Once more there is a proposition on foot for the erection of a first class and np-to-date opera house in Williams, and this time, we believe we are justified in saying. there is every likelihood that the scheme will be carried to completion.
 At present there is no hall of any size in town, except the old skating rink, which has been fixed up and answers very we'll under certain conditions, but the time has arrived when the town should have a lar ger, better and more centrally To- cated hall. Williams has always borne the reputation of being good show town, and aside from this fact there is oftimes need of a suitable place in which to hold public meet ings.
 The plan at present presented is as follows: One of our citizens has agreed, upon the organization of a stock company with $1O,O00 capi- tai for the construction of an opera house building, to transfer to the company centrally located ground, taking as payment stock in the concern. The idea is to erect a two-story brick building, about 75 40 feet, having in connection herewith lodgerooms, offices, etc., and suitable room for public library and reading room. There is at present a library association here, which, we understand, has the necessary capital to open up on, all that is needed being a little encouragement and location. Several of our business men have signified their willingness to take stock in the opera house proposi- tion, and there is no doubt that it would be a good investment. It is proposed to make the stock $50 per share and there will be little trouble in disposing of the 200 shares.
 Aside from the fact that it would make a good investment for the stockholders, an opera house here would be of much benefit to the town in other ways. A reading room is needed in which the strangers and tourists can entertain them selves, while our own citizens could derive benefit from it as we'll. It would be the means of bringing high-class attractions hither, which, except on rare occasions, we are not able to do now. It would bring in outside money and put more of the money already here in circula- ton. Not alone would the stock holders derive benefits but every business man in town would be benefited. Such a building would greatly enhance the value of other business property. Williams is building up, since the big fire, in a most substantial manner, and the time has arrived when such build- ing as the above is needed. Let our business men get together. We need it.
