Ever since the sultan Of Turkey
sent nine goats TO this country IN
IS4S. as an appreciation OF the favor
granted TO him by President Polk. who
had sent the sultan an envoy TO give
the sultan pointers on the culture Of
cotton. the goat industry Of the United
States has thrived. OF course there
were goats here before the sultan
shipped his batch but they were the
measly species that subsisted on the
relics of the tinFlate industry and

Santa Fe to Help Entertain

Mrs. w. F. Dermont, presiden of the Williams Public Library Association, has had a commuica- ton from Superintendent Busser of the Santo Fe reading rooms in which he offers to place some oi his first class musical and educa- tional entertainments at Williams this season.
 These fine attractions are free to the public. The Association pro- vides the hall and the piano. MT. Busser bears all other expense.
 The Santa F. employees and and their families have first claim to seats, then the house is free to the public. This is certainly a favor which the town should ap- preciate and profit by.
 It is understood that the Odd Fellows have literally extended the use of their opera house for these free entertainments.

Windows Roast Is Unjust

The manager of the Winslow's s football team in an interview in the Winslow Mail is roasting the Williams football team for their non appearance in that city for a game on Thanksgiving. The roast is uncalled for and ungentlemanly Prof. Richardson notified the chesty manager at Winslow in plenty of time to cancel the date. THE NEWS has positive proof of this fact and if the Winslow manager did not receive it, it is not the fault of Prof. Richardson.
 As to the result of the previous game Williams claims only what was agreed upon. The game was not finished and both teams agreed 10 call it tie.

MINT MINE HAS
 BRIGHT PROSPECTS

Director of Works Montgomery of the Mint company came in on No. 2 last Saturday from Camp Shea. to confer with the directors on prospective smelter contracts and to report that the south drift which had been run fifty feet on Saturday night shows up in the best ore that has yet been discover ed. There has been uncovered in the drifts three of the numerous contact veins which run at right angles with the main vein. All three carry splendid gold values.
 MT. Montgomery says that the showing up of the good ore values in these contact veins is the last evidence he wanted that the Mint is to be a great mine.
 This was the first visit of Mir. Montgomery in Williams since the 3rd day of August, on which date he left here to take charge of the development work at Camp Shea, near Skull Valley, where the Mint property is located.
 MT. Montgomery was glad to be back among his numerous ac quaintances and friends for a brief visit. He is busy man and will continue thus until the Mint mines have become famous, and every indication points towards it at the present time.
 He returned to the camps of his company on No. Tuesday.

The EIection "Repeaterr system.

In an article in McClure's Maya
zine for June GEORGE Kibbe Turner
describes the election fraud system
as it prevails in New York:
"Between the. heads. OF rne Assem-
bly, district and the leaders of gangs,
an estimate is made of the number
of 'repeaters' to be furnished. The
'repeaters' are then gathered at some
central place-often the Assembly
district club-house-and sent out
through the election districts in
squads of ten or twelve under lieu
tenant. This lieutenant has some
token or high sign'--a peculiar but
ton or motion of the hand--to
show to the election district captain.
All business is transacted between
these two men.
This voting proceeds on a regular
schedule In the morning the icti-
tious registration that il has been
possible to get past the Republican
board of elections. with the names
of residents who have died. moved,
or gone to Jail. is usually voted. In
the afternoon there Is general
clearing up of the registration that
has not previously been voted on.
There are innumerable stories Of the
boldness of these repeaters. For
Instance:
Some years ago a middle-aged
man, who is now an assemblyman
from the East Side of New York
was standing in the line before an
election booth, when he was startled
to hear the man just ahead of him
a youth of some twenty years--de
mand ballot in a familiar name.
Here said one assemblyman
that's my fathers name
The husky youth turned. glarinl
down upon him then kicked hin
sharply in the shins.
"'Shnt up. you fool he said
hoarsely. don't you know your owl
father?' He then proceeded to vote.
