INTERESTING FIGURES
 OF LATE ELECTION

The official canvass of the vote cast at the constitutional election February g, was completed last Monday and the returns sent to Washington. It is expected, if no unforeseen delay occurred, that the returns reached the hands of the president yesterday (Friday) noon. As congress adjourns at noon today there is little probability of any ac. ton being taken at this session:
 The total vote cast was 16,OO9; total vote for constitution, 12,1S7; total vote against constitution, B. 822; percentage of vote cast for constitution, 7612.
 Coconino's vote at the election of Feb. g was 452- 330 for and 122 against the constitution, belng about Al per cent of the vote cast in 1908, which was 1899.
 THE NEWS is indebted to the Re- publican of Phoenix for the fol lowing interesting. facts and figures regarding the election:
 Herewith is given the official vote by counties, together with the figures showing the total number of votes cast in the same counties at the last regular election in Ari- zona, which occurred Nov 8, 1908:

MOVING PICTURE SHOW
 TO CLOSE ON SUNDAYS

The management of the opera house has decided to close the nov ing picture show on Sunday. Quite a number of business and infuen- tial people have requested it.
 Sunday night has proven the only profitable night to them. but the people have promised to make the receipts on Friday as good as they were on Sunday. As long as this promise is fulfilled the moving picture show will be closed in Will jams on Sundays.
 We trust that since the manage ment has more than met the people half way in the closing of their show on Sunday and the free dona tion of their hall to the Santa Fe reading room entertainments, that they will get together and give them a generous support.
 The management has engaged Prof. Barnes and Miss Parker to illustrate their pictures with beau tiful music. In addition to this, Miss Ora Ritter will sing illustra- ted songs, commencing Wednesday. March 9th. Miss Ritter has sweet voice, and we think after the public hears her few times, they will be- came attached to her voice and ap preciate the show more.
 If the attendance is not sufficient to keep the show up to first class one, it will be necessary. of course, to cut everything down again to moving pictures alone.
 THE NEWS has always given the opera house plenty of space. be- cause we think it an amusement that we need to pass away an hour in the evening.

WILLIAMS CITIZEN
 PERFECTS INVENTION

Since Patrick Johnston received the patent for his recent invention, brake for logging carts, he has been besieged by letters offering to finance him in the matter of placing the device on the market.
 These letters come from the east as we'll as the Pacific coast, and are pretty conclusive evidence that MT. Johnston has good thing, other wise manufacturers of machinery would not be SO anxious to push it along. A prominent firm in h. dianspolis, Ind, offered to buy the invention outright. or else to put up money for it's exploitation, but all offers are held in abeyance.
 A model of the machine, which THE NEWS itemizer saw, shows that the difficulties heretofore encoun- tered by drivers of loaded logging carts, in applying the brakes at a critical time and place on steep hillsides, will be entirely obviated by Mir. Johnston's device. While simple, those who are capable of judging say it is q valuable inven- ton, and one that is designed to fill long felt want.
 THE NEWS, with all who know MT. Johnston, congratulates him and hopes that his most sanguine expectations for the future success of this child of his genius may be fully realized.

Hastens to Sisters Bedside

Dr. E. B. Perrin, who has been on a business trip to Chicago for the past two weeks, passed through Williams Monday night on No. 8. He was joined here by Mrs. Perrin, and they proceeded to Fresno, Cal. to be at the bedside of Dr. Perrin's sister, Mrs. Susan Thornton, who is expected to live but a short time. Mrs. Thornton is the widow of the late Dr. Thornton, who formerly lived here, and the mother of Hon. George Thornton, who at one time represented Yavapai county in the legislature when Coconino was part of Yavapai county.

that the constitution was not ap- proved by majority of the voters of Arizona. Assuming that there are no more voters in Arizona now than there were in November, 1908. II 1,667 voters failed to express their opinion of the constitution at all, as against 12.187 voters who ap- proved it. Adding the 3,S22 voters who disapproved it to the 11,667 who failed to vote, the total is 15,- 489. Those who did not want the constitution or were not sufficiently interested to attend the polls, there fore numbered 3,302 more than those who voted to ratify it.
 The 12,187 votes cast for the cen stitution is only a trifle over A per cent of the 27.676 votes cast in 1908. It can hardly be doubted that the present voting strength of the ter ritory is at least 3O,OOO, of which number only 40 per cent approved the constitution.
 Apache county is the only county which disapproved the constitution, the vote being POS for and 278 against. It is also true that Apache came nearer getting out full vote than any other county, the vote cast being nearly 85 per cent of that cast in 1908. Cochise county, where the vote for the approval of the constitution was 3 to 1, cast only 52 per cent of it's 1908 vote.
 Mohave is the banner county for the constitution, the vote in it's favor being about 2 to 1; Graham is close second. Gila was nearly 6 to and Yuma a little more than $ to l. In all these counties the same fact is exemplified by resort to figures. In Gila county only GA per cent of the vote of 1908 was cast, and in Yuma only 65 per cent.
 One may carry the analysis still further with similar result, but the above is sufficient to indicate what
 
 the election illustrates as to the consensus of opinion in Arizona.

Religious History of Lent

March 1st, Ash Wednesday, was the beginning of Lent. The pen itential season lasts until April Is, Easter Sunday, the end of Lent.
 The religious history of Lent is about as follows: It is the eccle- siastical season known in the Ro- man church, from at least the fourth century, as the Quadrigesi- ma. Irenaens mentions that the custom of keeping a fast before Easter Sunday was quite old, even in that day, but that no uniformity of observance had up to that time been established. In Tertullis n's day the Good Friday fast wss gen. eral. This period of fasting was gradually extended. As regards the manner of observing Lent, various degrees of strictness have prevailed in the church. Perfect abstinence from all food until evening of each fast day is in theory at least re- quired and it has also been con- sidered desirable that public wor- ship with sermon be attended daily. with frequent communion, especial ly on Saturday and Sunday. Pub lie amusements, particularly the theater, are prohibited. and the eel ebration of birthdays and marriages is held to be unsuitable. Diligence in aims giving and deeds of charity are enjoined. Lent is observed in the Roman Catholic, Episcopal and Greek churches.

CHANGES THAT MAY
 AFFECT WILLIAMS

Charles Johnson, the Santa Fe roadmaster, is now. engaged in lay ing the steel of the double track east from Ash Fork. Fairview is as far as it will be laid until prob ably late in the summer, as blast ing and grading are not completed now nor will be for three or four months yet, by the contractors, Sharp & Fellows.
 However, it is understood the double track will be completed and laid between Supai and Williams Cat least half of which is now laid) at once. Mir. Mitchell, of the Smith Construction Company, informs us that 95 per cent of the grading is finished between Williams and Flagstaff, and as soon as it is com plete the steel will be laid by MT. Johnson, roadmaster.
 P. N. Snyder, who has the con- tract for the blasting at the smelter just east of Williams. will be through in few days. There is a strong probability that the double track will be laid and in use within couple of months at the latest be- tween Williams and Flagstaff.
 The most important of all to the good people of Williams. however. is that the coming of the double track will work a change in the locations of the divisional points between Albuquerque and Barstow.
 There are about 35 miles of double track out of Barstow, east, and double tracking between Flagstaff and Winslow is going forward as rapidly as men and powder can do it.
 There is a we'll understood change to be made, as soon as this uncom- pleted double tracking is finished. by railroad men. which is, that Seligman is to be cut out, and prob ably Winslow. Freight trains, in all probability, vii be run through from Gallup to Williams or Ash Fork, and the next point will be Needles.
 Williams has strong claim for the division, on account of the immense quantity of water which may be developed on, around and about Bill Williams mountain.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
 EASTERN TOURIST

c. H. Grippen, a wealthy tourist from Bridgeport. Conn, died in the Ell Tovar hotel, at Grand Canyon, Wednesday night at 10 o'clock.
 MT. Grippen arrived at the Can. yon on the morning train Wednes- day, and with his wife and party of friends had been sight seeing during the day. He was appar- ently in the best of health.
 While sitting in the smoking room of the hotel that evening en- toying a cigar. MT. Grippen was observed by his friends to suddenly gasp for breath, his limbs becam me rigid and, with an agonizing groan, he fell forward from his chair.
 A doctor in the ho:ei was hur- riedly summoned, but before he reached the side of MT. Crippen, the man had expired. The entire scene was enacted in the space of a few minutes. Death evidently was due to heart failure.
 Undertaken Button and Dr. Jef- fries left Thursday morning with a casket and will prepare the re- mains for shipment to his eastern home. MT. Crippen was 55 years of ape.

ASH FORKERS ENJOY
 MUSICALE AND DANCE

The concert and dance given by the Musical Shirleys at Foley's hall. at Ash Fork, Monday night. was attended by 8 large crowd. Our little neighboring town must be given credit for having its full share of music lovers. The Shirleys re- ceived double encore after each number. and when they played "Old Black Joe" and the ''Serenad- ing of the Angeles" the audience went wild with enthusiasm.
 As soon as the musical entertain ment was over, the hall was cleared quickly and the dancers of Ash Fork were treated to the finest dance music ever given in the town Prof Barnes on the violin; Mss Parker on the piano; MT. Shirley on the saxophone, and Mrs. Shirley on the drum. The audience was overwhelming in appreciation and it began to look as though it would last until Eve won't go home till morning"
 The thirteenth dance was marked Turkey in the Straw" Many of the dancers wondered what kind of a dance it was. But when Prof. Barnes lead them along the strings of his violin, they realized what it meant, and when he stopped the applause was deafening. He was compelled to play this popular piece four times.
 Those in attendance at the dance were:
 MT. and Mrs. J. H. Foley, MT. and Mrs. C.. F. Young. Mrs. Chester Dickison. Mrs. Bina Love, Mrs. R. Soils, Mrs. c. E. Blaine, Mrs. L. B. Nash, Mrs. Elsie Brown, Mrs. R. A. Meyers.
