SPLENDID WATCH GIVEN
 BETTS BY MASONS

In token of appreciation of his services in arranging the now famous ceremonial session in the depths of the Grand Canyon, A. A. Betts. worshipful master of the Phoenix lodge, was presented with a beautiful gold watch, the gift of the Masons who were present on that historic occasion. The speech of presentation was made by Thomas R. Marshall, thirty-third degree Mason from Indiana and, incidentally vice president of the United States.
 Immediately after the regular lodge session in the Ma sonic hall Friday evening, which was witnessed by some 300 Ma sons. the wee president was asked by Grand Master Leroy A. Mid dleton to make a few remarks.
 Mir. Marshall referred to his pleasure at being back in Arizo- na and among so many brother Masons. Then he went on to re- fer to the Grand Canyon sessions in September. That ceremonial he declared, was the most unique and appropriate held since the days of the founders of the or der. Worshipful Master Belts was praised for originating the idea and for his untiring efforts in carrying out the plan. In con- cluSion he said:
 As there is only one door in this room, it becomes my duty Brother Betts, to present to you thls watch. It is the first watch 1 ever saw that was not my own that 1 wanted to keep"
 He then placed in the hands of the modest and blushing wor- shipful master a beautiful How ard watch. Betts' initials were on the back and under the back cover his name was engraved, with the statement that the tok- en was presented to him by the Masons who were present at the Grand Canyon ceremonials.
 Betts, taken wholly by suf- prise managed to stammer out a few words of appreciation. An honor had come to him such as seldom comes to any man.
 Addresses were made by Con- gressman Carl Hayden, by Gov ernor George Hunt and City Re corder Frank Thomas. A ban quet was served in the lodge rooms. Democrat.

FIRST TOURNAMENT
 A SPLENDID SUCCESS

The First Annual Registered Tournament of the Holbrook Gun Club, held last Tuesday, Nov. 11th was a success in every re- spect. The attendance was a little short of expectations, but shortage in quantity was made up in quality, and on account of such a complete success this year we are promised a much larger attendance next year. Among the visitors present were MT. and Mrs. s. A. Huntley, of Kan sas City, Mo, o. N. Ford, of San Jose, California; Capt. A., H. Hardy, of Denver, Colorado: A.. w. Bruner, of Los Angeles, Cali fornia; R. A. Warner of Phoenix; B. F. Wilson, of Gallup, New Mexico; F. E. Lowe, and c. s. Patterson of Williams, and N. A. Hardeman, of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
 MT. Huntley, after having lost his fiftieth bird shot his remain ing 100 straight, thereby vim ing the seventh extra bar on his DuPont long-run trophy, for 1913. MT. Huntley, having all ready visited twenty or more tournaments iD the United States this year. spoke very highly of the Holbrook Tournament and the way in which it was handled.
 The Cashiers Office was very capably taken care of by R. A. Warner. of Phoenix, who incl dentally shot through the pro gram. making a very creditable score.
 Immediately following the tournament Capt. A. H. Hardy gave his very entertaining exhi- bition of fancy shooting.
 Holbrook may be very proud of the showing made by the local boys. most of whom are only be- ginners in the game. About half the local boys shot go per cent, or better. and five of them pulled down $20.00 or more each. Jess Hulet. however, was very much Cat of form, having gotten up from the sick-bed only long enough to shoot through the pro- gram. It appears to us that he is a little too enthusiastic for his own good.
 ''Bear-Cat" Wilson, of Gallup, New Mexico, was certainly plea sed wltb his shooting. and well may he be proud of it. for he made a score that would be hard for anyone to beat, and at that he claims not to have pulled a trigger on a clay pigeon for over three years. Come again, MT. Wilson.
 Immediately following Capt. Hardy's exhibition the founda- tion was laid for The Northern Arizona Trapshooting League, and the following officers were elected: President, J. s. Hulet. of Holbrook; Vice-President Dr. P. A. MeIick. of Williams; Secre- tary-Treasurer, c. P. Cooley, of Holbrook.
