MT. Miller Not Married

When Andrew Miller, accompan- jed by small party of select friends, left last Wednesday, via the Bobby Burns limousine line, for the Saginaw lumber camps, the think tank of Walter Goode began to slosh around, and the result of the mental agitation was the circu lation of report that Mir. Miller and another of the party Ca lady, of course went on to Flagstaff and were-married-
 A tinge of truth was lent to the report by a phony telegram to the same effect
 The party returned about D. m and Mir. Miller was mildly sur- prised when he entered the dining room at Mrs. Wade's to note the looks of anxious inquiry on the faces of his fellow boarders.
 So the several sacks of rice, the old shoes and the tins cans, saved up for charivari by Mir. Miller's friends, have been laid away to be used on the next matrimonial moke. And the joke seems a Goode one.

The Ball Game Last Sunday

Sunday afternoon the Indians from the Phoenix school employed by Charley Johnson on the double tracking seven miles east of Will jams, crossed bats with our home team and put up real classy game of ball-in fact, it was quite an improvement over the Winslow aggregation of the. previous Sunday.
 The Indians were outclassed, and our boys only played half heartedly when they saw it was going to be a one, sided affair. The Indians were Is on pitchers, owing to Pitcher Kill being hurt in the breast some time ago. Their inield was ex- ceptionally good and with little improvement they would put up a good game.
 The only feature of the game wss a. home run by Harry Deal, who later made a thrilling run for high one out in left field and just barely reached it. He managed to held on to it, although it ripped one of his fingers open.
 Prof. Hester did not pitch, al. lowing Shonley to handle the "reds," which he did very we'll.

EVERYTHING READY FOR
 THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Greatest Program of Sports Ever Given in North ern Arizona---Three Big Base Ball Games. Phoenix Indian School Band Will be
 Here--- Free Feed for Everybody

Williams has all preparations
 complete for the biggest and best
 celebration ever held in northern Arizona. From all indications the
 gathering here for the three days jollification-the 2d, Sd and 4th of
 July-will surpass any previous event of the kind. There are more people living in the vicinity of Williams than there were last year. Ash Fork will be here in a body to encourage their bronco
 busters to win the cowboy events;
 the Winslow' Gallup ball teams
 will consolidate to play our boys,
 and delegations from each of those
 towns will come to cheer their boys
 on to victory. The hose cart team
 from Winslow is also expected here
 to enter the firemen's contest. In fact. from all points along the lines of the Santa Fe and from the towns in Coconino county away from the railroad, there will be a fore gathering of the people in Williams for an enthus' astic celebration of the Glorious Fourth.
 There are manifold reasons why everyone that can should come to Williams for the celebration. The events scheduled for the three days entertainment are interesting. amusing and proita ble to both old and young. Time will hang heav- lily on no one, for there will be something doing every waking hour. The comfort of all guests will be carefully looked to. One cannot enjoy the sports unless com- fortable. Instead of standing on the streets to watch the various contests, seats will be provided in the grand stand and on the bleach CTS at the new ball park for women ond children.
 There be places that are visited with sand storms, but no one that visits Williams need fear that dis. agreeable experience. Plenty of shade, good camping places. the best of water and climate, and a swell time is what this town has to offer.
 Sunday, July ?, will be the open ing of the celebration with a ball game, the first of series of three to be played between the home team, the Phoenix Indian School team and the Winslow- Gallup team. The last named named club will cross bats with our boys on Sunday. They have a good bunch of ball players, while the home team is a strong aggregation of stars. Sundays game will be red hot one and every sport should be out to see it.

As THE NEWS goes to press, the Babbitt- Poison grocery department is thronged with the culinary elite of Williams as the result of the energetic efforts of the N. K.

The array of cakes displayed is the best ever shown in Williams and would puzzle the most astute to decide which are the prize winners. They will be announced, with further comment. next week.
The Washington herald., 1911-06-26
In the Midst of a Revolution.

From the Springfield Republican.
The Washington situation grows in
complexity. But the question 1t presents
grows in simplicity. It is no longer a
question Of radical tariff reform or no
radical reform 1t is whether we shall
have such reform now at the extra
session or take the same dose later on
after season OF Industrial suffering
from prolonged uncertainty. There is
apparently no possibility that the dose
can be averted or modified by delay.
Enough has now developed to show the
presence of one OF those great revolu-
tions in public sentiment which have
the habit Of creeping in upon US un-
awares-long expected, but always COM
ing when least expected. The most that
can be hoped for by the tariff con-
servattves is that the Presidential election
may be fought on the issue Of gen.
eral taif reduction as 1t may be mod
flied by tariff board statistics, or of
general tariff reduction regardless OF
such statistics. The standpatter Is al
ready out of the game. The limited
reciprocityite is out OF It. And the
President himself Is being forced to con-
slider whether he can find a strong and
clear-cut and popular landing place for
the next Presidential contest arn-in-
arm with the tariff board and halfway
down the measure Of descent on the
scale OF duties which is now being
marked OF.
It would be better, far better, for the
country and its Industries to have at
once the most radical tariff action that
q UiraIv 70 oov,,a onf ~ tha a a0itaffon
of the next year or two. and Sd take
the question out OF the Presidential
election. than to have q little now and
then q prolonged certainty Of more to
come and uncertainty Of Its extent and
effect. II the extraordinary twistings
and turnings Of this extra session can
yet develop such result as this, well
and good. Otherwise, we must hope
and pray as heretofore for an early
enactment OF reciprocity and adjourn
ment.
