Band Boys Dance

The dance given by the boys of the Williams band last Friday night at Silvernail hall was success, both financially and socially. About 60 couples were in attendance. The music was furnished by the Barnes orchestra and that alone would make the attendance large. The boys feel encouraged by the success of their first dance and it is likely they will give several more during the season.
 They are trying to raise enough money to get them nice uniforms before they make a public appear ance, and it is to be hoped all en- tertainments given by them in the future will be well patronized. They are practicing every Sunday after noon in Odd Fellows hall and they cordially invite everybody to come up and hear them and note the pro- gress they have made. The boys expect to be in shape to furnish the music for the Fourth of July cele- bration if the citizens of Williams decide to let the eagle scream.

POOR EXHIBITION OF
 THE NATIONAL GAME

We'll, we had parts of ball game anyway. If it hadn't been for Flag staff having a trife the best of us, coupled with four wild pitches, a strong wind and five errors we might have won. As it was, the score stood 20 to IA in favor of Flagstaff when Hansen threw the last man out in the ninth.
 Young started the game on the slab for Williams, but after two strenuous innings with his glass arm, allowing three hits and hit ting three men, netting six runs for Flagstaff, Kline took his place and held them down to only four runs in the next two innings, when he gave up and young Chavez stepped up and faced the batters, and with the exception of the first inning he pitched, held the Flagstaff boys down remarkably we'll.
 Elliott and Hansen surprised the large crowd which had turned out to see the home team wallop the visitors by knocking clean home runs. Brown also should have had a homer, but the watchful eye of Umpire McDougan was on him when he missed touching second base.
 The only double play during the game was in the fifth inning when Chavez caught Edmunds at the home plate and Kline nabbing Ma loney at second. With little more practice and possibly strengthen ing one or two places in the ranks, our boys will tackle anything from Ty Cobb down, providing the citi- zens will turn out as they did last Sunday. We have to commend Flagstaff on their bunch of rooters, and the band was sure some help and a. great surprise. It is hoped that if another occasion arises that they bring the tooters along again, as little music now and then is relished by the baseball fan.

The Ask Fork Road

The road from Williams to Ash fork is fast becoming a boulevard. There is now large force of men men and teams working to com plete one of the best roads in north ern Arizona.

A road with plenty of water every ten miles, alongside a railroad and telephone line all the way, is the only practi- cal route for autos to the Canyon. Flagstaff and Ash Fork can boast of their roads to the Canyon, but it will soon be the "Williams Boule- yard to the Canyon," where every convenience and assistance can be had from the railroad and telephone lines.

DIVISION NOT DEAD
 ONLY TAKING A NAP

division movement was started by | the citizens of Williams 1t was treated as a huge joke and pipe dream by it's enemies in certain parts of Coconino county, but the citizens of Williams, needless of what others thought of the move ment, went to work at it with de- termination that never fails to bring results. Did we get them? Most assuredly we did. True, at the last session just passed we did not get the county division, but we did come so near it that it long ago ceased to be joke and put cer- tain part of the county at work as they have never done before.
 Considering the fact that no county has ever been divided with in few months after the agitation started for that purpose, but when we went to Phoenix and laid the justice of our cause before the mem- bers of the legislature, nearly all of whom had gone there with de- termination not to consider any county division at this session, they commenced to open their eyes, and one by one began to drop into line in our favor, until the house, with our brilliant young representative and tireless worker, Thomas Mad dock, piloting the measure, passed the bill by nearly a two-thirds ma jority, and the senate came within one or two votes of passing it, re- gardless of the influence of Senator Breen and his friends, and despite the fact that they had not time enough to put through even all the constitutional mandates; thus show ing that justice was to be found in every line of our argument pre- sented to the lawmakers, and to further show the feasibility of our proposition, several other counties attempted to cut themselves, and they were all killed before they 'saw daylight" But ours was never killed and will go on record as unfinished business, despite the attempts that were made to effect ually dispose of it.
 These facts clearly demonstrate to our friends, and even enemies, alike, that it is only matter of a very short time that we will cease to be part of Coconino county but will be segregated and a beau tiful court house and other public buildings will loom up before our eyes. Good roads will then lead out in all directions from Williams, more people will come to our town, the thousands Of dollars Of tax money sent to the eastern end of the county never to return will be turned loose here, and every busi- ness man and working man will reap the benefits.
 So let us all pull together and never for one moment lose courage, for the harmony and determina- tion that marked this the first cam paign for county division is just as sure to bring success the next time as the sun will continue to shine on this the coming town of the Santa Fe railroad.
