AN IDEAL SUMMER RESORT

Every year hundreds of South
 ern Arizona people migrate to the
 beaches of California. It is is esti- mated that they leave there the
 tidy sum of s1,Ooo,OOo every sea-
 son, and when they, reach the sea
 shore their time is spent in sitting around and won dering what God did
 with all the hade. So, far from
 escaping the heat of Yuma or Phoe-
 nix or Tucson, these people run
 squarely into it ,n the sandy shore,
 where the only thing that ,greets
 the eye is the wide expanse of sea.
 Instead: therefore Of doing some
 thing to exercise their limbs and
 lungs, they remain listless and ln- dolent. like an anchored bark pp that same sea.
 The thousands of people who each year leave southern and cen tral Arizona for California points to escape the heated term, could easily be prevailed on to spend the summer months among the pine clad mout mains of Coconino county if the many attl actions we can offer were placed befe them. There is no place on cart b where vacation could be more pleasurably and profitably spent than in the country immediately surrounding Williams. At co mparatively trif1ing cost, tents co, id be erected and camp ing faci ities furnished at the foot of Bill Williams mountains, which, with p,dicious advertising, would attract not only the people who leave Arizona for an outing at the beach'ss during the summer months, but tourists from all sections of the United States.
 Concerted action on the part of Williams business men could easily acc omplish this result. Reduced rates on the Santa Fe will be given, and ofthose wt,o once spend the sum- mer in these mountains, inhaling the health-giving ozone and revel- ing in the abundant beauties that nature has to offer, will ever after, when the hea ted season comes, turn their steps toward the balm-laden forests of Cocpnino county.

IN THE JUSTICE COURT

There was considerable activity in police court circles this week. William Chickalilly an ebony hued individual, hailing from Ok lahoma, who had been making himself generally obnoxious around town for several days, got into a scrimmage in the Pullman restau- rant Sunday night, and when the smoke of battle cleared away Will jam found that he had got the worst of it by large majority. In addition to severe pummeling, he received several knive wounds in the encounter. When arraigned before Justice Rounseville Monday, Chickalilly pleaded guilty to dis turbing the peace and was sen. fenced to 30 days in the county jail.
 Jesus Quijada had a Mexican arrested for assault and battery, Tuesday, and on trial in the justice court the accused was found guilty and given the option of paying fine of $50 or serving 30 days in iail. The Mexican chose the latter alternative.
 For fourishing a wicked looking knife and attempting to use it on Frank Serene, Manuel Cobo was in police court Thursday. charged with exhibiting deadly weapon in a threatening manner. The testimony of witnesses did not substa ntiate the accusation and Manuel was per mitted to go on his way rejoicing.

WILLIAMS-JEROME RAILROAD
 WILL BE BUILT THIS SUMMER

THE NEWS railroad editor learns, from absolutely unimpeachab ble sources, that the Williams-Jerome railroad enterprise is not dead, but only sleeping. He also is pre- pared to say that, when it ava akens, It will make a move to Williams and not to any other point on the line of the Santa Fe. When it starts it will not stop until the road is completed between the termini.
 It may not be generally known, but is feet, nevertheless, tbat Senator Clark's agents have already bought up about all the necessary rights-of and all the timber in it's vicinity between the two points. The right-o way has been sur veyed and plated. and when the writer was in Prescott a few days ago he happened to meet the sena- tors son, whom he has known for many years, and in answer to a question as to railroad building in the near future, he replied that the road positively would be built to Williams just as soon as they could get around to it, and the impress sion left on the aforesaid editors mind was that It would be in all probability built during the coming summer, in order to take advan tage of the late railroad exemption law, which is quite an item of economy in railroad operations in the southwest.

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several ad-
vantages to the painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

A New One About Napoleon.

A new" story about Napoleon Is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply SO old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in

The emperor received the general

was preparing for the siege of Danzig
He drew him to a window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on

Out 'r California there is tree

stump is 10 feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
SeQuoia forest reserve in Tulare coun-
~, California and was sawn off by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
ulsCalCulation, when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held its position,
and dynamite was resOrtCd to to bring
1t to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and ii was discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by
the discharge and was therefore use
less for lumber. Accordingly, the
work was stopped and the giant has
