had netted Sl2, 600 in the past 20 years.
The O.-W. r. & N. Co. showed
through its engineer of construction,
J. 7. Brandon, that the improvements
were desired to strsighten out the
many curves existing between here
and Troutdale. The road for the pres
ent, he said, will not be double tracked
between The Dalles and Portland.
However, the double tracking will be-
gin very soon between Deschutes cross
ing and Blalocks. Mr.. Brandon stated
that during the past few years the
road had taken out enough curvature
to make two complete turns between
here and Portland. One can get an
idea Of the magnitude of the work
done when viewing it in this way. o..

And Still It Showed

We had two "Old- Timers in our store this
morning, and they both agreed we were liable to
have this snow for two or three weeks yet. Well,
there's nothing like being SatSfied-we'd just as
soon have snow as slush-in fact we'd little
rather have the snow. 1t makes business cut
tiers, bobs, etc.
We've put up a sign in our front window
painted by our own artist which says: "Tell Us
Your Sleigh Wants Before Our Stock is Broken"
It's mistake to leave it thereit is liable to mis-

we DID have good stock. Here's what we've
got left:
Two Portland Cutters worth SAC each
One No. Good Sense" Bob, worth $45 inGIldlgli
One NO 2 Good Sense" Bob, worth $55, without hitch
-Four Cutter Gears, worth $l2 each
Two Sets Runner Attachments, worth Sll per set
One Fair Delivery BO6, worth $34, without bed
When you consider that we had fine and
dandy assortment of all the above lines to start
with, it looks like the snow has done somebody
some good an ill wind, etc. we haven't

But, to get down to "brass tacks''-we want to
sell the sleigh goods we have left. In other words,
its Clearance Sale" Yes, we know you have
been looking those words Clearance Sale in
the face for the past four weeks-every paper and
every show window flashes it at you till you hate
to see it. But just the me-and SO forth, and SO
forth and so FORTH All right! Now you know
the story. TAKE ADVANTAGE! 'NUF SED."

can't pull 'em yourself, you use horse, and
MUST have the harness. Here we are again!
We've got the whole line of necessities
thing you need from the time you get your place
till you sell it again. Mighty good time to look
around now and size 'em up. Lots of interesting

Public Notice

All persons desirous of disposing of old tin cans, boxes or refuse of any kind are hereby notified that a public dumping ground has been set aside for the city of Williams. This area can be reached by going out the Grand Canyon road and taking the first road to the right after passing the Crowley place. All refuse should be dumped east of the sign board and well over toward Cataract canyon.
 It is unlawful to place or cause to be placed refuse on any other pub lie lands within the national forest. Many persons have disregarded this law in the past and as result most unsightly conditions exist along some of our important highways, particularly the road running north from town. Hereafter all refuse must be hauled to the public dump ing ground and persons violating this law will be vigorously prose cuted as trespassers against the United States. HAROLD GREENE,
 Forest Supervisor.

Query-What is Doing About
 the Dora Lopez Estate?

|
 Every man in Williams remem-
 bers the colored woman of the un- derworld, known here as Dora Lo-
 peg, who died on or about the 26th day of February, 1911, and who at the time of her death owned real and personal property in this town of a value of at least S1200.OO, with few, if any, debts She also left property in California
 About one week after her death letters of administration were is- sued to George w. Glowner, who appears to be still acting as such. | So far as can, be learned it appears that she died without leaving any
 known heirs, and made no will. The property left by her in this town is situated in the "Red Light district, and commands large rent als, ana has been rented rlgnt along
 for now about two years, at an esti-
 mated rental for that time of at
 least $1500.OO. It is the law of
 this state that estates of deceased
 persons who have no heirs escheats
 to the state and goes to the school fund. The people of this town are anxious to know why this property
 has not been escheated, and the ad-
 ministrator called to account for this property and its rentals. The attention of our county attorney,
 and the probate court is called to this matter, and it is to be hoped will be looked to. RIM

Sundays Ball Game

The Williams baseball team show ed real class Sunday in their game with Flagstaff, and aside from the few errors the game was one of the best played on the local diamond for several years. With the return of Captain Kline and the good pitch ing material the team should be able to make good showing, in spite of the fact that they have lost their first two games.
 The first game resulted in score of 17 to IS in favcr of the oppo- nents, while the Sunday contest went to the Flagstaff boys by the close score of 5 to 8.
 The boys were given an enthusi- astic reception b, the local fans and reciprocated by playing their best game. The response given by the people of Williams was certainly encouraging and the judge is mak- ing every effort to give the people the best brand of ball they have had here thus far.
 The boys will go to Flagstaff Sunday and will play at home on the following two Sundays in sue cession.

Williams, Ariz.,
Editor The News,

WllllamS, ArlZ., May oO. Editor The. News,
 Dear Sir:-
 Why is it that somebody does not erect tourist hotel in Williams to accommodate the large number of tourists who visit the Grand Canyon every year and walk our streets looking for place where they can be accommodated with meals and a place to stop over night?
 It is estimated that from 65,OOO to 75,000 tourists stop off here to visit the Canyon every year and that the number is constantly in creasing as this great American won- der becomes better known.
 A great many of these travellers cannot afford to stop at the Harvey house in Williams and would with out doubt patronize a good tourist resort, run frst-class at a moderate rate; and should, we will say, hall of them, take advantage of such a hotel it would be a paying invest ment at the start and would nc doubt be a big boost for Williams in many other ways, giving these peo. pie an opportunity to learn of oul unmatchable summer climate, the like of which cannot be found any. where on this continent. Until we have such a resort many dollars that should stay in Williams will go somewhere else We be. lieve this matter should be taken uI at once and company formed t6 put 1t through to reality and 2 hotel erected here that will not only care for these people, but will be 2 credit to the appearance of our little city.
 It will have to be done sooner ol later, so why not now?

NEW CANNERY FOR
 OAK CREEK SECTION

The new cannery is to be built on the Dumas ranch, at distance of four miles from the Cypress hotel, formerly known as Schnebley's and will be located in the center of a fruit and vegetable growing district.
 The cannery will put up beans, peas, corn, tomatoes, squash, and all kinds of fruits. It will have a capacity of 5000 No. 2 cans daily, and will employ from ten to twenty men and women to start with.
 Two buildings will be erected at once, one 3Ox4O will be the factory and a, econd 2Ox40 for warehouse. Both buildings will have cement floor and sanded sheet iron roof
 Men are now engaged in getting timber for the buildings and the machinery will arrive in few days
 The most modern and simple de- vices known to the preserving and canning business will be used. An upright boiler to generate steam and power will be used and all fruit and vegetables will be cooked in huge caldrons called retorts. Each cal dron will have capacity of IA, or  gross of No. 2 cans, at boiling. Mechanical travelling cranes will do the immersing of the laden trays in the steam, then take them out in order to solder the cans.
 At present two retorts will be placed, but room for five will be considered in tbe building of the factory.
 The company will ship in the cans "knocked down" and will in- stall a machine to set them up at a cost of several hundred dollars,
 Further particulars will be given as the project proceeds.
 The company is known as the Oak Creek Canning & Preserving Co.,, at least they intend to adopt that name. They will later put uE jams and iellies, soups, catsup and chowder. The canning of beef vii also receive their consideration.
