WILL BEGIN GRADING
 FOR DOUBLE TRACK

The work of grading on the new track of the Santa Fe coast lines between this city and Ash Fork, is expected to begin sometime during the coming week if the weather conditions will permit it. All the grade work will be done by con- tractors, who were successful bidders for all of the grading between Ash Fork and Winslow. a distance of about ninety miles. This is the statement made to THE NEWS by a. railroad man who is in a position to know.
 Engineer Ball will have charge of the entire construction work on the double track and he will be constantly overseeing the contract ors work while the grading is being done.
 The corps of engineers who have been at work making the surveys during the past two weeks. have almost completed the preliminary work for a double track between Williams and Ash Fork and will begin the survey from Williams east at once.
 Much of the material to be used in the construction work Is here already and the contractors outfit for grading, a whole train load, will reach Williams from the east in day or two.
 After the grade work is finished Roadmaster Chas. Johnson of this city, it is said, will be in charge of the track laying. Much of the ties and steel are on the ground now. The work of double tracki og. from now on until it is finished will be rushed with all energy possible.
 It is the plan of the Santa Fe to double track it's main line from Chicago to Los Angeles within the next two years. Some of the line

the white man and agricultural in their bent They have been famous as the most skillful basket makers of the southwest, using colors with rare good taste. Using the water of Cataract Creek for irrigation, they have grown remarkably fine peaches, apricots and figs, as well as melons. pumpkins and alfalfa.
 In addition to the destruction of the homes of the Supais, the mining camp of the Platinum Gold Mining company was washed away by the flood.
 The agent and his family were awakened at about 5:3O m. by the sound of rushing waters, and on opening the door found three feet of the foa ming current block ing their escape. After securing a few articles of clothing they climbed on the roof of the dwelling and by means of a plank succeeded in get ting into the branches of a large cottonwood tree near the house. In less than 15 minutes the breast of the flood struck the building, reach. ing oyer the top of the doors and demolishing the structure almost completely. They remained in the tree for nearly five hours, but were finally rescued by the aid of some of the Indians, and. after perilous climb along the banks and walls of the canyon, succeeded in reaching the Hualapai trail. Most of their personal effects had been taken to the top of the trail the day pre- vious. as MT. Coe. the agent. had been transferred to the Sacaton res ervation, and MT. Barnes and his ia mily were waiting at the top of the trail to take his place. After a desperate struggle of two days they finally reached Seligman.
 Out of over fifty cottonwood trees near the building only three were left standing, and a gully fifteen feet deep occupies the space where the postoffice was located. The In dians lost large number of horses and cattle they had penned in up above the village.

MRS. ROSE l.. HICKS
 PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Rose L. Hicks, the beloved wife of Harvey Hicks, died at the family home in this city Tuesday night, January Il, at 10 o'clock. She was taken i'll with pneumonia a few days before death came. Everything known to the medical profession was avanced by the at tending family physician in an effort that the life of the mother of five children might be spared, but her days in this earth were numbered. From the day she was taken i'll until death came to relieve her sufferings she grew weaker physically at the dawn of each day. Sunday she sent for Father Connolly to administer for her spiritual desires and when the end came she passed away peace fully and with a smile upon her sweet face.
 The funeral occurred Thursday afternoon from the Catholic Church with the Rev. Father Connolly officiating. He chose as his text verses from Chapter 8 of Genesis
 The church was filled to over flowing with the friends, neighbors and acquaintances of the deceased who came to pay their last respects to the departed. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Be- sides the individual floral offerings of friends upon the casket there were flowers from the local lodges of which she and her husband held a membership. After the services at the church a large concourse of sorrowing friends followed the re- mains to the cemetery.
 Mrs. Hicks was born in Canada thirty six years ago. At the age of seventeen she was married to Harvey Hicks. Five children were born to bless the union. the oldest being daughter of sixteen years and the youngest a two weeks old girl baby.
 The Hicks family have resided in Williams since 1901. She was a devoted wife and mother and a l kind and cheerful nei ghbor.

SUPAI INDIAN TOWN
 DEVASTATED

The Supai Indian agency and village in the Cataract Canyon, so miles northwest of Williams, was washed away last Sunday at am. One human life was lost in the flood, that of an old sqnaw. It is told that a wall of water swept down the narrow canyon about 20 feet deep, and wiped away the agency buildings, the schoclhouse and almost every Indian hut besides devastating the irrigating ditches and the fields of the Indian farmers.
 The deep snow which fell last week in the mountains surrounding Williams, followed by warm rain, cleared the mountain sides and mesas of the snow and sent it's raging torrent down Cataract Creek, which runs through the In. dian village.
 Only a small proportion of the Indian population was at home Save the aged, most of the Indians leave the valley in midwinter, to hunt on the plateau above, or to work around the towns or railroad camps. The agency school had been discontinued on this account and the teachers had gone home.
 The flood was not the first known. The tribal historians have graphic account of a similar disaster about fifty years ago, in which the tribes men lost almost everything. Since that time part of the aboriginal population has occupied stone built huts on the hillsines, above their fields.
 The total population of the town is normally about 225, the Indians having died off of late years from diseases brought by the white man. They are of the original Apache stock, of Yuma classification. yet have always been friendly toward

HOME BOYS WHO
 HAVE MADE GOOD

When one looks back four or five years, when the younger generation was growing up and how they are branching out making their own living, their parents, as we'll as the rest of us, are pleased and happy.
 Several years ago, not more than five, there was Prince Yoder and Harry Griffith paired off. throwing sawdust by the scoopful into De- motte's face in the electric Ii ht plant; Paul Yoder and Frank Field. throwing stones at the engine crews Norman Nellis, Frank and Dick Farnsworth and Sam Miller, always into some kind Of mischief.
 Now things have changed. Prince Yoder is now firing on the Peavine out of Prescott, commanding a sal ary of $50 per month; Harry Grif nth, the widest of them all, IS switching at SeIigman, with a pay check of $50 monthly; Paul Yoder and Dick Farnsworth have stead y positions as fremen on the Canyon road; Sam Miller is making good as brakeman on the day Canyon passenger train; while Frank Earns worth has been holding down a job as fireman on the main line for some time past. Frank Field has settled down, and is attending school in Kansas this winter, and Norma D Nellis is handling the Santa Fe freight department here.

property of a local hotelkeeper, who

villa bears little resemblance to the
ordinary Pompeiian house; in fact II
was large country residence rather

THE WILLING CHILD

By Alice Van Leer Carrick
Mother says I help her so,
1 am five and strong, you know.
Lots of things for me to do,
She needs me the long day through.
Mother always understands
I'm her little Willing Hands.
When I've finished with my play,
All my toys put away,
And I tidy up the yard,
And 1 run on errands hard!
Cause my mother says so sweet,
'Thank you. little Willing Feet"
