No provision has az yet been made by the Santa Fe Railroad company for the payment of their payroll checks in cash As these checks are drawn on Los Angeles banks it is impossible for the local bank to pay cash on them except to the regular customers of the bank. If the local stores attempt to cash these pay checks, they will soon find that they are cashing them for men living in other towns whose banks refuse to pay cash on such checks. It is seen at once that this will soon drain the town of cash.

He Raised Some "Spuds"

E Hunter, who lives seven miles west of town, Is the champion Irish potato grower of this section of the Territory. From eighteen acres of ground he raised this year an enormous quantity of tubers. MT. Hunter finished delivering thirty five tons of the 'spuds", Saturday,, to Blbbitt Bros. For several days in succession he hauled potatoes to town with three teams He was so elated over his success that he came around to the NEWS den and left a ''V" with the force. Mir. Hunter received an excellent price for his entire crop. His experience with potatoes is conclusive evidence of what can be accomplished in this particular branch of agricul- ture, and 1t is pity that no more attention is paid to it. A few "stunners" like MT. Hunters crop will open the eyes of the public. however. and then this section will come to it's own as farming and fruit country.

Mrs. Robinson's Musicale

On last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Mcdonald Robinson entertained with a musicale, the friends of Mrs. Langworthy and Miss Suth- erland. The rooms were decorated with large boquets of American n Beauty roses and with branches of the pepper tree. The three solo numbers and encores played hy Miss Southerland as we'll as her accnmpanyments of Mrs. Lang worthy were rendered in a master " way. Miss Sutherland's play ing shows both careful training artistic appreciation. Mrs. Lang worthy has rich messo soprono voice and sang beautifully. This little town has had a rare treat in being permitted to enjoy such a voice as that of Mrs. Langworthy. The entertainment was in the nature of a farewell as Mrs. Lang worthy left for her home in Oak land last Tuesday. She has en- deared herself to us all as much by her gracious and pleasing man. ners as by her beautiful voice. Mrs. Langworthy attended the Boston Conservatory of Music at the same time that Mime. Nordica was receiving her musical educa- tion in that city and beca me a fast friend of the great Nordica as we'll as many other noted artists during the latter days. It is seldom that one of Mrs. Langworthy's gifts and accomplishments is SO ready to please all. She will not soon be forgotten.

LOCAL FINANCIAL SITUATION

The large force of men employed by a Los Angeles contractor in erecting the new Harvey House aud round house were paid last Saturday in Los Angeles scrip owing to the fact that the Los Angeles banks were unable to sup ply them with cash as heretofore. Residents of Williams decided that there are larger towns much worse off for cash than we are.
 A safe expert who was here this week to repair the time lock of the Arizona Central Bank, reported that when he left San Francisco he was unable to get anything but San Francisco scrip He reported that he had no trouble in buying everything that he. needed between San Francisco and Williams with San Francisco scrip. He said he did not expect to starve before he got hack home.
 Saginaw pay day passed off just as usual and all who needed cash for their checks received cash Parties leaving town or sending money out of town. exchanged their pay checks for drafts. Many who ha we been in the habit of drawing the entire amount of their check in cash and then going around to the stores and paying their bills with cash were easily persuaded to de posit the pay check and give their personal check for billie. They found the new method much safer and more convenient.
 One good woman who has been in the habit of depositing in the local banks was paid a consider able amount in cash and decided to hold it in her house for fear that if she deposited it che might need it at a time when she could not get it back in cash. At the end of fortyeight hours she brought her money to the hank and deposited it and said she was devoutly ths nk- ful for place to put it where it would be safe. She said that the fact that her house might burn down and the money with it or that she might be robbed or that she might forget where she had hidden her money kept her in continual state of nervous prostra- ton SO that it was a case of deposit in the bank or get divorce.
 The local houses have received circular letters from the wholesale houses advising them not to send their personal cheeks in payment of bills as their banks would re ]. ceive them only for collection. This has in some cases been mis- understood and thought to mean that bank drafts were not to be used in remitting. This is a mis- take as bank drafts are desired by ! such houses. Only personal checks on out of town banks are barred

SANTA FE IMPROVEMENTS

 is making some substantial i'm provements at Williams.
 The company has a large num- Der of Mexican laborers at work in the local yards and is putting in several miles of side track in ad- diiion to what it already has. An average of trainload per day of cinders is being brought in, and ie being used for ballast. The con- pany expects to have the sidetracks completed within thirty days. and from the way things look in the yards. its expectations will not go amiss.
 The five stall round house un. der course of construction will probably be ready for business by the first of the year It will be modern in every particular and an ideal home tor the Santa Fe's great iron horses. It will be quite an addition to the railways equip ment. Aaove all, it is a substan- tial improvement and represents an investment on the part of the railroad company that is not to be sneezed at
 Mention was made last week of the fine new Harvey House and depot, work on which is being push ed SO rapidly. It will be completed just az soon as hustling workmen can complete it. That part of the building which is already complete presents formida ble appearance and warrants the assertion that the Santa Fe never does things by halves. The building is being con- struct.d of concrete.
 The Santa Fe IS spending a great deal of money here. and the inn provements it is making are of a substantial nature, therefore of great benefit to the town.
 And the end is not yet. More improvement of even greater mag nitude are eaid to he coming. They will arrive in due time. Willia ama has bright future as a railroad center. and as the country sur rounding it improves and develops. SO will the railroad company's business. A larger business for the railroad company makes it necessary for the railroad to make improvements and expansion in it's equipment. and Williams seems 10 be on the company's improve uent ma of this section of Arizona.

A Big Time

The l. O. o. F. reunion and ban quet given by the Odd Fellows last Saturday evening was a decided success and nearly eighty members of the different branches of the order were present and did ample justice to all the good things that the banquet tables were loaded with, which were very nicely ar ranged by Noble Grand H. A. Hicks and his white aprontd as- sistants. A large number of games were played during the evening which together with the splendid piano music and singing passed the time altogether too rapidly. Several visiting brothers and sis ters were there and took part and enjoyed themselves. Among them were: Mr. and Mrs. E. .-E. Taft, Baldwin, Michigan; MT. and Mrs. Matt Ern, Menominee, Michigan. and several other visitors whose names were not learned.

On December 1st the postoffice will be moved from it's present To- cation to the south portion of the building occupied ny Joe Johnston. The increase in volume of business done at the postoffice makes more room a necessity, hence the move. The volume business done at the postoffice of a town is an accurate barometer of the general business of that town. and this expansion of the Williams post office speaks for itself.

After searching all night the police and citizens who were working on the case have been unable to find any clue that would lead to the arrest of the two negroes.
 A number of negroes were arrested, but most of them released. The oc- 1 currence of last night, coming so soon after the killing of two Italians re- gently by two, negroes, for which they were lynched, has stirred the people
 here and drastic measures will be adopted in dealing with this loafing l element.

HOT SPRINGS
 STATE FAIR J. M. Anderson Says It Will Be the Best Ever-1n the City Today Boosting the Show.
SOME OF FEATURES
Wants Jefferson County to Exhibit at the Annual ExhibitfOn-LOcal AutO- mobile Owners May Enter Auto Races There.

James M. Anderson, of Hot Springs, travelling representative of the ArKan- sas State Fair, was caller at the Graphic office today. Mir. Anderson said the second annual state fair will be on much larger and grander scale than the previous one. The pre- mium list in nearly every department has been doubled and much larger and varied exhibit is already assured. Applications for space are already pouring into the main offices, located in the Dugan and Stuart building; among them being exhibitors from va rious counties over the state. 1t $ expected that the Jefferson county ex- hibit will be second to none in the state. Several new and up to date at fractions will be seen in the Midway which has been christened Happy Hollow and each of the ten Fair days will be dedicated to special features, among them being, Lady's Federation Day, College Day, Fraternal Day, Ar kansaw Travellers Day, Automobile Day (races), Ex-Confederates Day, Carnival Day and other special attrac- tions not yet closed. An effort is be- ing made to have an encampment of the State Guard and an immense floral parade will be one of the features of the Lady's Day. George R. Bedding, president of the Fair association, and Ray Gill, the manager and secretary, are we'll known all over tbe State and is a guarantee that nothing will be left undOne to make the second an nual state fair one that will be a credit to the state. MT. Anderson re- turned home this afternoon and Will leave Little Rock Wednesday with the Arkansaw Travellers for Eureka Springs, where he will do some talk ing and "boosting' for the Fair.
 MT. Anderson interested several Pine Bluff automobilists this morning and there is probability of some of them being entered in the auto races to be pulled off during the Fair.

HOW TO SAVE RIVER TRAFFIC.

With the return of the interna- tlonal waterways commission from its first trip down the Missssippi, the vastness of the problem before it
 begins to appear. Of course the improvement and control of the Mississippi is only one phase of the problem. That will be one of the main arteries of trade for water borne freight. But the great river is a good starting point for the Investigation and the most remark able thing that appeals to the conn., mission was not the problem of making the river a desirable stream for freight traffic, but in getting the freight to take that highway
 The members of the commission re- port that the river is in better physical condition than it has ever been before It has been straight ened and deepened and frightened ny lIlG IIOII odS Nh" of navigation to the other. But the river traffic has been killed by the railroads They have fought the steamer lines till the rate war has driven the boats off the river. There is not one-fiftieth of the trade on the river that there was forty yeans ago. The railroads have gobbled all the wharfage facilities at all of the important manufac- turing towns and have made the total cost of river freight to the consumer greater than railroad freight. even when rates are 'nominally the same. One of the most serious phases of the prob lem will be in building up the water traffic that has disappeared. It is an even more perplexjng prob lem than dredging the channel for the freight to be carried through.

all out of the day in the way of out door enjoyment, that was coming to them. The Citizens Light and Transit Company maintained an excellent schedule during the day and cars were run regularly on all lines and especially was the service good On the Cherry street or Forest Park line.
 Everything at the park was free during the day, except the refresh- ments and the little folks enjoyed themselves to their hearts con- tent. They crowded at the ECO and for hours watched the funny antics of the monkeys and the other rare animals and birds in the cages. The park management is making great preparations for the opening tine latter part of this week and the park is being rapidly placed in condition for it.

MILWAUKEE MAYOR
 MAY GO ON STAGE
Reform Executive of Brewery City Gets Offer of $1,5OO Week to Play in 'N1an
 of the HOur.''

Chicago, June 2.-Mayor Sher- burn M. Becker of Milwaukee, is contemplating abandoning the mayors chair for the stage. Nego- tiations are pending between the Milwaukee executive and Manager w. A. Brady of New York, accord ing to information given out here tonight which it is contemplated will place MT. Becker in the lead i2g role of play dealing with po- litical affairs and entitled "The Man of the Hour.'
 An offer of $1,500 week is the outgrowth of proposition made to MT. Becker first in jocular spirit and later seriously when it was learned that he was inclined to consider the matter. The formal offer was made by MT. Brady yes terday in telegram to Mayor Becker to which the latter replied asking that the offer be held open pending the adjustment of lee- ture project, which he desired to carry out in connection with the proposed theatrical venture. Mir. Becker is said to have taken great interest in the play, which is be- ing produced in this city, owing to the fact that it depicts events similar to those in the Milwaukee mayors political career. Mayor Becker's term does not expire lln- til next April, which means that he will resign if he decides to be- come a stage star.
