graph Co. won the cross. arming easily. The Postal men were very accurate in setting their pole up- right which covered 2 min. and 55 sec, while the Overland set their pole in 1 min. 29 sec, but it was very crooked. The Western Union let their pole fall and it was picked up by the Overland coptestan ts and raised to it's position in 2 min. and 51 sec.

NONE N|CER--- BETTER
The Celebration a Grand Success
 in Every Particular

Williams entered on a very sane celebration Sunday morning, July 8, but in character it was equally as patriotic as of former years. There was little of the deafening roar of explosives and there is no case of any maimed limbs or loss of life from their effects. The busi- ness houses and along the streets were displayed the national colors, with bunting and other decorations appropriate for the occasion. Ever green trees were planted in front of the leading business houses which afforded shade and had the appear ance of @ permanent growth.
 Visitors from the outlying dis tricts and from Winslow and Ash Fork were here in great numbers. The logging camps, the linemen's camps and the railroad construction camps contributed nearly full quo tas of their population to join Will Hams in celebrating the national holiday. The Saginaw loggers from nearly all the camps came floating into town Saturday night, Sunday and Monday, as result refreshment centers done a thriv- ing business.
 The morning of the fourth dawn ed cloudy and it was apparent that rain would mar the gala appear. ance of the town before noon. At ten o'cock it commenced and very heavy shower passed over northern Arizona. The patriotic music by band enthused a large gathering around the band stand to wait for opening exercises. Prayer by the Rev David Roberts and the intro duction of Mrs. c. H. Rutherford by Mayor Stark, ended the opening exercises. The rain came down in torrents and Mrs. Rutherford was forced to retire from the platform before completing the reading of the Declaration of Independence, and this part of the program was postponed until 7:30 o'clock that evening.
 On the evening of the Fourth, the Hon. c. H. Rutherford of Jerome delivered a forcible and patriotic oration, while his accom- plished wife read the Declaration of Independence. The Rutherfords during their short visit have made numerous friends in Williams.
 The juvenile sports on the street were conducted by Harvey Hicks and the crowd enjoyed them very much Several boys entered the egg race and as ursual found before they had gone far the eggs were missing, the two who won first and walked through. The Indian foot was won by West first and Joseph second. two young Supai's. The gathering enjoyed the juvenile sports so much that everybody wished the program had been lon ger.
 THE LINEMEN's CONTEST
 This event was a new feature and most interesting one. Three teams entered the contest as follows for the pole-setting event.
 J. Coyne, E. Kincaid, F. J. White head. c. E. Callan, Dick Shay, w. F. Johnstone. of the Postal Tele- graph Co.
 L. J. O'Conner, E. A. Mullison. F. A. Reising, R. w. Perdue. V. E Heron, J. T. Noble of the Western Union. g5 .sm
 F. O. Benson, A. A. Milligan, Chas. Dulea, Dan McGinnis, Casey Devinne, Jack Smith of the Over land Telephone Go.

of northern Arizona on the 9th by defeating the crack Winslow team, thereby winning the purse of $35O, donated by the celebration commit tee. The Winslow team is made made up of an aggregation of fine ball players and gentlemen. It is very seldom you see a base ball team that was so agreeable as was the Winslow team. Our old friend Charlie Willis was the captain, and Charlie was surprised when he got his "goat."
 Young McDougall, "chip of the old block" is developing into as good player as was his father some years ago. and next season the peo- pie of Williams will expect great doings from him. Young Wolfe, also home boy, played good ball, but the feature of the game was the perfect ball played by Prof. Ayres, Barclay, Cline and Johnson: but in the Winslow game of the 9th Char lie Elliott was the hero of the day. It begun to look as though it was going to be shut out on both sides; in the fourth inning Winslow made a run. This did not look good to Williams, so Charlie Elliott came to the bat in the fifth and lined out good hit that brought him safe to first. Prof. Ayers sent out scorch- CT that took Elliott to third and Johnson brought Elliott in. There was some smoke in the atmosphere by thir time; then the old stand by Barclay brought Ayres in, and Winslow wondered how it hap pened. Johnson made sensation al catch that brought down the grand stand when Winslow had two men on bases and liner was driven out to Johnson, who reached up with his bare hand and brought it down. The ball was 60 swift that it knocked Johnson down, but he held on to it. Cline caught an CT. rorless game and is a splendid player. Take it all around, Will jams played superior ball to Wins low and won on merit.

 Williams-Johnson, s.; Bruce, If; Barclay. 2b; Cline, c; McDou. gall, If; Arze, of; Elliott, 3b: Wolfe, 1b; Ayers, p.
