SOME THINGS DOING

Little has been said recently, since our correspondent at the Can yon went to the coast, of the things doing at that point, but that it is a very busy place at this time is evi- denced by the statement made to the NEWS few days since by Con- tractor A.. H. Harrell.
 MT. Harrell is one who says little and it is not generally known that at the present time he has 1O7 men on his pay roll, employing also sev enteen teams, and that same aver ages daily about $4O0, or $12,O00 a month; also, that most of this money is spent in this section.
 Just at present Mir. Harrell has under contract a number of inn portant jobs, one of which is the installing for the Santa Fe at the Canyon of complete sewer sys- tenn, with three large septic tanks and filter beds combined. These will be constructed of concrete, the largest being 54xS4 feet, and will be completed at cost of $22,OOO.
 He also has under construction at this time some seven miles of automobile roads. extending from Rowe's point. past the Fl Tovar, to O'NeilPs point. These roads will be thirty feet in width and the highest grade will not exceed six per cent. In the construction of these roads several thousand trees will have to be blasted out-and the estimate of the cost for the com pleted speedway is some $11 ,OOO.
 At Winslow Mir. Harrell has the contract for adding an addition to second story of the Harvey house, the cost of which will be 5000.
 He has just completed the foun- dation of the addition to the Will jams public school building and will have a force of brick-masons at work pronto running up the structure, the brick for same now being burned by MT. P. R. Crow ley. This contract was let to Mir. Harrell at $6,99O.
 During the week considerable material has been placed on the ground for the construction of the $25, ,OOO six stall round house here at Williams. The contract calls for drop and ring pits and an S5- foot turn-table. The building will be of reinforced concrete, with brick ends, so that they can be removed easily in case the company should have occasion to make further ad- ditions. MT. Harrell informs us that things will be doing on the round house as soon as the mate- rial arrives.

 c. c. Hutchinson came up Tues day from Seligman, where he had been looking after his interests. He reports everything in fine shape in that section.
 w. s. Fields, division manager of the Holmes Supply Co. of Los Angeles, was in the city last Sun day from his Albuquerque head quarters, looking after company business.
 Councilman Otto Lebsch departed Wednesday evening for a visit at the old home at Saginaw, Mich. This is lis first trip east in a num- Der of years and will be greatly enjoyed.
 H. M. Stark, who has been em- ployed at the local mill for some months past, assisting in the in- stallation of the new machinery, departed Wednesday evening for his home in Saginaw, Mich.
 B. F. Sweetwood--Agent for the Schlitz beer.
 Mrs. Frank Ebert departed Sun day evening last for Los Angeles, accompanying her husband, who had been confined to his bed for over a week suffering from heart trouble. It is the hope of his friends and the general opinion that the change in elevation will be bene- ficial and that he will be able to re- turn shortly his robust self.
 MT. c. M. Bentley departed on Wednesday for few weeks trip in the east. He will go first to Cha grin Falls, near Cleveland, Ohio, his old home and birth place, where he has brother living. Some time will be spent in that section among friends and relatives whom he has not seen for forty years. Later he will go to Luddington, Mich, to visit among friends. MT. Bentley has been a resident of Williams for several years and this is his first trip east. He expects to return in time to join the hunters in their quest for big game this fall, and says he wants to have one more big buck to his credit.

 We are in receipt of small sack of ore sent in last week by w. w. Bess from the Rowe strike near Bass station on the Canyon road. From all reports of the property it is go- ing to be a winner. The NEWS trusts there will be a general re- vival shortly in that mining reg ion. and that further effort will be made to discover the mother lode. thought to exist in that section. In the past many thousands of tons of good ore have been shipped to the smelters at Pueblo and Ell Paso, but the establishment, recently, of a custom smelter at Humboldt, with reduced rates on the railroads, will make it possible to ship ore to that point that heretofore it was impossible to ship. The cost of sorting will thus be eliminated and the chance better for larger profit.

SECRETARY HAS A PUZZLE.
Something Between Valentine and
Christmas Card Received at
VT Interior Department.

Ohicials of the government depart
ments receive many interesting COM
munications which have nothing what
ever to do with Official business. The
senders are often obscure persons
who have something smart to say or
something queer to show, and who In
many cases do not give their ad-
dresses.
Secretary Hitchcock of the interior
department received what appeared
to be a belated valentine from man
wac gave no address. It was home
made, painted upon an ordinary sheet
OF foolscap paper. The design was
elaborate and the colorss gauCy. In
spite of the gaudiness, however, it
was not of the comic variety, but
rather CT that kind which makes you
think of little angels and birds and
pretty fowers-in fact, it was nearer
a Christmas card than valentine.
What purported to be verse WAS
on the bottom. It referred to the seri-
BUSINESS of life and stated that all
must die, or something equally as pro
found as that.
The secretary trrned it over to his
private secretary, Mr.. Scott Smith,
and the latter handed it to his stem
ographer with Instructions to frame a
suitable reply. Miss Macfarland, the
stenographer, is still considering

The Drains.

The dog days are days to watch the
drains. It behooves the brave wife to
lend them her personal supervision in
kitchen and bathroom. In the former
apartment scalding water and washing
soda must be poured down the sink
drain each day. This effectually will
wash away all greasy deposits and pre-
vent odors. Even greater care should
be exercised in the bathroom. To de-
stroy injurious germs all the pipes
should be thoroughly flushed each
morning with boiling hot water. At
night there may be sprinkled into each
pipe large spoonful of chloride Of
lime, q can OF which may be kept in
the bathroom for the purpose on q
shelf far above the reach of the chill
dren. The attention given night and
morning to drains takes little time,
and not only lends freshness and
sweetness to the household atmos
phere but may thereby prevent seri-
Gus illness.
