With the return of sunny weather
we commence this morning sale of
dozens of new pianos of discontinued
case design, and of the big stock of
used instruments that has been accu-
mulating on our floors during the
whole winter. This is an announce
ment that means much to the lover of
good piano. and especially to that one
who has heretofore believed a piano to
be luxury beyond his or her price. 1t
is an unusual opportunity because of
the quality of the pianos offered, be-
cause of the remarkable saving TO be
made in price. and more so because of
the absolute genuineness of every bar
gain, and the stability and character
of the house behind the pianos. 1t is
unusual, too, because every proposition
is out in the open and founded on the
square deal, without subterfuge, mis-
representation or the numerous lodges
SO frequently advertised to mislead and
mystify the intending purchaser

for just what it is, with distinct un-
derstanding on the part OF the pur-
chaser of every condition surrounding
the sale. Terms, payments. tunings.
guarantees, etc. are fully explained,
and no one point which bears on the
future satisfaction of the customer left
unexplained.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Unusually easy monthly payments
will be accepted on both new and used
pianos offered now. A small initial
payment secures the piano, the balance
being arranged in equal monthly pay
ments covering period of two years

ment plan applies, and there are some
of the most attractive Player-Piano
bargains ever shown in this city or on
the coast.

conditions. every piano offered during
this sale bears the ironclad guarantee
that has made the Allen name synono-
nous with the square deal. With each

NIGHT WITH FOREST RANGERS

Twenty two were in the party
 who had the time of their lifetime
 at the United States forest rangers
 headquarters, two miles west of this city last Monday night. The two forest rangers, Willard Seviere and
 H. L. Benham, had made prepara- tions for the affair in a manner that would put in the shade many Of the feminine society leaders.
 The location of the homelike abode place of the young rangers, on hilly nookamong the huge pine trees added much to the grandeur" of the occasion. It was about 9:3O o'clock when all the guests had arrived and were making things merry around the big bonfire in front of the house. Here big box full of marshmallows were roasted and eaten.
 Dancing to the music of the worlds greatest musicians furnished by Edison's records were indulged in until late hour. The features of the amusement were the skipping of the rope and the barn dance. The Indian "squaw dance" led by Miss Terry was laughable. The Indian maidens wrapped in their blankets looked cute and the regulation "staump dance" yells thrilled the admiring braves who surround ed the dancers. At II o'clock invi. tation to repast was sounded and without second notice the lonu tables which were groanin under the pressure of good things to eat were surrounded by the jo lily guests They were hungry and taey did eat and even the dessert, watermelon disappeared into their mouths very last. It was almost 1. o'clock when the chaperones, MT. and Mrs. Amos Adams. notified the crowd to pile nto the conveya' ices for home on return the air was filled with popular songs a'Ad all were saying nat at, they had z swell time.

SCHOOL OPENS AUGUST 30

The vacation days of young America in Williams are about to come to an end for this year. The board of education at it's recent meeting decided to open up the schools on Monday. August 30.
 An excellent corps of teachers have been engaged and from the present indications the ensuing school year will be the most suc- cessful one in the history of this city. The members of the board of education are making an effort to raise the high standard of the school. In their efforts the board of education should have the hearty cooperation of every parent in Williams. An occasional visit by the parents to the school room would encourage the teachers as we'll as the children. Better re- suits can be accomplished when the teachers, the children, the parents, and the school board work hand in hand for the interest of the school. School is the worthieet and greatest institution in any community and time nor money should not be spared to advance it month by month and year by year that the highest possible results may be at. tained. <.
 Professor A. w. Richardson of Phoenix. formerly of Iowa, has been engaged for the year as principal. He comes here highly recommend. ed as first class educational man and no doubt he will greatly aid in the building up of the school. Mrs. Bertha Kennedy of this city has been re-engaged to teach in the grades and Miss Harriett Tefft of this city, and Miss Lava Sughrue ot California will again teach here. Their last years work in Williams is their best recommendation. Miss lilly Penny, a we'll known young lady of this city, is one of the new ,~-ade teachers. Miss, Penny suc- cee,..s Julia Sughrue. who resigned to accept a position in the Winslow school. Mrs. Sutherland will give instructions in music, and the manual training department will be taught by eastern young lady,

WlNSLOW'S TEAM WAS LUCKY

It was not the fault of Henry Gonzales that Williams lost the ball game for he pitched league ball and the visitors, although they are considered as good stick artists, were unable to connect with his curves. Not more than two ssfe hits were the visitors able to get and had every man behind Con- zales done his duty the Winslow aggregation would not been able to make single score. In the first inning the visitors made six runs, without single safe hit. Some of the Williams boys. who were con. sidered stars. made some of the most rotton plays that have been made on the local diamond this season. To man up a tree it looked as if they were not at all over anxious to do their best for their own team. Little Riggs on third base was playing ball every minute, but he couldn't find the curves of Baca and famed out three times out of four. Frank Downs on first base did we'll and as a blse runner he is hard to beat. Ralph Wood is good sticker, but his costly errors on second base materially helped Winslow to win. Martinez in the right field made several pretty catches and did his best to win. Willis in the center field nailed everything going his way and so did Garcia in the left. Teddy Arce on short made several pretty plays. Capt. Barclay made two or three bad blunders that counted in favor of the visitors.
 Baca the Winslow's pitcher was in fine trim and although Will jams players secured several safe hits it must be admitted that he is one of the best twirlers in northern Arizona.
 In the fifth inning Willia ms tied he score and the local fans became

GREEKS PAY STREET TAX

The wages of six Greeks, who re- fused to pay street tax according tc law, were garnisheed Monday al the office of the Saginaw and Man istee Lnmber Company. They were employed by this company at the saw mill. About two weeks ago Street Supervisor Owen served a notice on the Greeks to either pay in cash or show up for work on the streets, but they tore up the notice and never showed up with cash nor presented themselves for work. MT. Owen had Justice of the Peace Rounseville make out the garnishee papers which he handed to Marshal Patterson to be served. The result was that Crispilla Villa, George Tsrakongaus and Tony Castoff ca oh paid S4 street tax for the years of 1908 and 1909. together with the cost of garnishment. The cost at each instance being $S.35. Juan Samaris, and Peat Haritos came through with $2 each street tax for one year and the cost as above.
 Supervisor Owen will not likely have any more trouble in collecting the street tax from the Greeks and other undesirable foreigners.
