The County Road Fund

When the present scounty road superintendent last fall was a can didate for the office he now holds, he stood before the people of the west end of the county one evening and told them that in the event of his election, he would see that they "got square deal" on the road question, and that among his first official acts woul2 be that of improving the present condition of the roads in the west end. which were in a deplorable condition. The audience cheered this state
 ment of Superintendent Anderson to the echo; it was greeted with cries of chats goodr' from all parts of the house, and on election day MT. Anderson was given one of the largest votes in the west end that was received by any candi- date on either ticket. Superinten- dent Anderson lives in Flagstaff He had been making a canvass in the west end of the county at the time be spoke, and he knew the condition of our roads from actual experience with them. What is the actual condition of the county | ds west of Bellemont? Ask any rancher or stock man living north
 south, east, and especially west oi Williams, and they will tell you that. on the whole, they are dis grace to a civilized community

the county records will show the amounts actually spent on roads west of Maine in 1909, 1910 and 1911 were as follows:
 In 1909 3,24S S1; 1910, $3.23O 27 and in 1911, $4,5S0. In addition 10 these amounts $682 80 was spent n surveys and an estimated sum pf $7O0 on the Flsgstaff Willia ms road in 1911. In o'her words the vest end got about 2S per cent of the road money instead of 45 6 per cent, to which we were entitled, or inrtead of 335 per cent, which was the authorities purpose" to appro- priate.
 One-half the sum paid into the road and school funds by national forests is paid by the Tusayan na tionat forest. which is located wholly within the west end of the county. and this year it has al. ready paid into these funds ap proximately SIS 900. Yet, under he past policy of those distributing this fund, that portion of the county from which this $13,0OO was col lected would receive one dollar out of every three, while the balance goes to that portion of the county in which practically not an acre of the Tusayan national forest is To- cated.
 Is it wonder that Messis Reed. Brown, Cauffman, Wolfe and other ranchers in the extreme western end of the county are disappointed that the hying machine has not been found practical ble for ranch use? Is it wonder that Superin- tendent Anderson told the people of Williams last fall that should he be elected road superintendent he would see that they got square deal?
 All arguments heretofore ad-
 vanced upon the subject of county
 division have been based upon the territorial area and natural condi
 tions of Coconino county. We
 wish it understood that in the above instance such is not the case

WILLIAMS GUN CLUB
 ARRANGE HANDICAPS

The big event in shotgun circles in this vicinity will commence Sun day when the Williams Shotgun club members will participate in the first shoot for the Dupont Pow der Co.'S handsome silver trophy.
 The official handicapper has fig ured each members handicap from the official score made by the shoot. CTS since the first of the year. The handicap of each member follows: P. A. Melick 8, Demas Yoder 6, w. D. Finney 2, Cbas. Wade 7, c. w. Ortt 8, C.S Patterson g, F E Lowe 10, Oliver Melin II, F. Lindgren II, G. B. Kirkpatrick 12. A. Lebsch 12, R. Reese 12, Claude Melick IA, Ed Mailnes 16, T. w. Moody IT.
 This being the first handica p event ever shot here. most of the members are unfa miliar with the details. If a member at the last four regular shoots killed 75 birds out of possible 100. he was shooting 75 per cent and would be given a 25 bird handicap. and at the regu lar handicap event, should he sue ceed in killing 75 birds, he would be credited with a perfect score of 100. The handicaps above are for 9 bird events, and at the regular Dupont trophy shoots only 25 birds per man will be thrown.
 All contestants will shoot from the Is yard line and change their stations after each second shot, which forces each contestant to shoot at the targets from all the different angles, thereby placing, thereby placing each member oD an equal footing.

 I find that the records do not give the exact distribution of these funds into road districts, but the clerk of the board of supervisors says that within recent years it has been the purpose of the board in making these expenditures to ap portion them as follows:
 Two thirds of said funds to all roads east of Maine and Bellemont, and one third to roads in the west end of the county.
 My best inn .ression of expendi lures made when 1 was clerk of the board were that the funds were ap propriated in approximately the same ratio- To determine this matter exactly would require on examination of all road claims that were filed, and this would mean a very extensive exa animation.

FACTS AND FIGURES A ON COUNTY DIVISION

property, which in the event of Ci- vision would probably be retained by the districts now possessing it, the east end of the county has within it's limits $78,O0O worth of county property as valued by the last board of supervisors, and the west end $2,OOO worth of this prop erty, estimating the Williams jail at this amount.
 In the event of county division, should other precedents be follow ed, especially that when Coconino county was separated from Yava- pal, that portion of the county re taining the county seat and county property would credit upon the other portions pro rata of the bonded indebtedness that per cent of the value of the county, property retained which the value of the latter portions assessed property bears to the whole. In other worda the west end of the county would assume 45 6 per cent of the bonded indebtedness, less 45 6 per cent of $78,000 for property retained by the east end, plus 54 4 per cent of $2 GOO for property retained by the west end. The result would stand as follows:
 45 per cent of slSs,oOo is.. s72, ,5o4 .oo 456 per cent of s7s,OOo is.......... :. s5,56s.O %

 The west end of the county would also be entitled to 45 6 per cent of the cash on hand. which would amount to $63,OOO 98, as shown by the bala nee on hand Dec. 31, 1911. Upon the present tax rate, the new county therefore would begin business upon the following fnan- cial basis:

But,, if you are of a sensitive nature and have ears not attuned to good old fashioned, picturesque "cussin'." we advise you to refrain from doing so and take our word for it. Ask John Fagerberg, a reputable merchant Of Ash Fork, the condition of the new automobile" road built last year between Ask Fork and Williams He tried to travel it in the present good weather several weeks since and he can and will tell you. but we also warn you about Fagerberg he, too, has a choice vocabulary of explosives at his command.
 What excuse is there for the present condition of the roads in the west end of the county? Is the road fund overdrawn2 Not much The Tusayan and Coconino na tional forests paid over $26,O00 to the proper authorities only few days since, to be devoted to the road and school funds of the county, and cn the first of the year there was over 4OOO unexpended money in the fund. It can't be for lack of money, for there has been and now is plenty for the purpose. In this connection the following letter addressed to MT. c. w. Elliott, secretary of the Williams Chamber of Commerce, in response to an in quiry upon the subject, will prove of interest:

Hancock Pomona held a meeting Friday,

was with Ssdgwick grange, and Worthy
Master Heath was the only officer present.
The fact he was there can only be ex-
planned by the fact that he was so afraid
that he wouldn't get there that he started
the night before, which was surely very
thoughtful and considerable.
However, grange was called to order at
2 D. M, and the chairs were filled with

cious little brown-tail moth, which
seemed very unkind, considering the eli
mate in which the little insect finds him
self. 1t was voted that Hancock Pomona
