WILLIAMS MAKES FLAGSTAFFLOOK
 LIKE PLAYER
Gernless City Cleans Up Old Town In
 Sunday Sports

They came west fat, and they went east lean, those bowling sports of Flagstaff: Good fellows all, some short some tall, those gamey sports of Flagstaff But they can't play ball, and they can't saw logs, and their nags are on the fritz; for the w lliams jocks, had all their coin, when their nags came home on the bits.
 Fourth of July celebration is over, but its success and memories will live long and pleasantly in the minds of Williams people. The Williams ball team took two games out of three from Jerome. The Williams horses made cleanup of the bang tail races and the Williams log cut ting champions made the game but slow Swedes from Flagstaff look like thirty cents. The log cutting event was the star attraction of the cele- bration to many. Saginaw and Manistee had no difficulty in main- taining its supremacy with such teams as Hans Hack and Andy Ol- son, and the wonderful brothers Hans and Alfred Wiberg.

 Its Beatty Foolish Going Abroad In Search Scenic
 Thrills
Gee! But Ain't It Great to Meet a

Gee! But Ain't It Great to Meet a Friend From Your Home Town.
 You Bet! that is the way the edi- tor of the Williams News felt when a bevy of the prettiest New Workers, with couple from New Jersey and one with the most musical of south ern voices, made the News office a call of fifteen minutes Monday morning. The party had spent Sunday at the Grand Canyon, came to Williams on the morning train, and hunted up The News office, hoping to get ahold of some papers from the home city, home sweet home indeed, to those who really know New York and the tempera- ment to enjoy the delights of the great American metropolis. And by the way, there was one dear lady all the way from Lowell, Massachu- setts, which is very near The Hub. They were intensely interested in this wonderful western country, these gently bred, refined and alto gether delightful women flom the eastern seaboard and the south. Coming down from Flagstaff Satur- day evening they were abundantly entertained by some individual with a Swede accent, who had a pretty little wife who failed to appre ciate his antics, and who descri bed him. self as the mayor of Williams.
 "We never saw anything else which even approached the grandeur of the Grand Canyon," said Mrs. M. w. Holden, the lady from Mas sachusetts, speaking for the patty. ''It is foolish to go to Europe in quest of scenic thrills. The Grand Canyons silent influence is wonder fully subduing, wonderfully uplift- ing. would lik to live on its rim, right out on Cape Maricopa for a month or longer. It seemed to me the coloring changed every moment and cathedrals multiplied with each successive glance. Those in our party have travelled much, some of them all over the world and all agree the Grand Canyon is the wonder of wonders, he sublimest of Gods handiwork.
 The News visitors were Mrs. NJ w Holden, of Lowell, Mass; Mrs
 Francis Merick and Miss Florence L. Downing, New York City; The Misses M. and Edna Zahn, Ruth erford, New Jersey, and Miss Net tawin Moses, Montgomery, Alabama.

FAMED SUPP NOW A GOVERNMENT
 POLICEMAN
Chief J. Malone Talks of Days of Antelope,
 Bear and Deer

It remained for the Indian tribes of Northern Arizona to furnish much of the color and sentiment of the Williams Fourth of July celebration of 1913. They came from, north, south, east and west, hedecked, many of them, in the gaudy rain- ment which gives these simple chil- dren of nature much pleasure. Among the indian visitors easily the most notable figure was Chief Jim Malone, whose father before him was big chief of the Supis. Malone is famed as one of the friendly scouts who, under the in- domitable Col. Lawton, afterwards general who died fighting in the Philippines, ran down the implaca- ble, murderous Geronimo in the mountain businesses of Southern Arizona.
 Chief Jim Malone is now an in- dian policeman for Uncle Sam, with headquarters at Seligman He is nearly seventy, but looks hardly a day over forty-five. Six feet tall, straight as an arrow, with his pierc- ing black eyes and long raven hair this big indian is a splendid speci. men of the Supi warriors of the past when Williams was not and the country adjacent was the habitation of great herds of antelope and deer and the mountains swarmed with bear
 ''No railroad forty years ago hear deer, heap bear, heap village much fight, Dis the graphic way in which Chief Malone told of his boyhood back in the fifties, spent in an indian village some miles over the summit of Bill Williams to the southwest.
 ''No railroad then" Chief Malone went on, "heap indian, my father heap big chief. Plenty meat, in dian heap eat. No railroad, heaI indian, now, heap railroad, little in dian, not much meat"
 The chief is the father of clever children, all of whom are dead bu two, who are being brought up al, American. He has vivid recolec tions of General Miles, Lawton, ano the memorable chase after Geroni mo in which he took part.

PHOENIX EDUCATOR BOOSTER FUR
 WILLIAMS Vice Principal Union High School Lauds
 Climate Claude Jones Urges Northern City to
 Advertise

Prof. Claude Jones, vice principal of the Phoenix Union High School, and one of the best known educa- tors of the state, arrived in Will Hams late Saturday afternoon with the advance guard of the automo bile party from the capital city. Jones remained in Williams over Saturday night, partaking gener- Cusly of delicious barbecued meat while seated on a rock at the cor -ner of Bill Williams avenue and Third street.
 "The town is ing ahead. Any one car see that, said Jones, who was the progressive republican can didate for superintendent of public instruction in 1912" This atmos- phere certainly is delicious. With this climate all you hare to do is to make the town attractive for thousands who leave Phoenix and all parts of Southern Arizona every summer, mostly for the coast. Hundreds will come here if the claims of this section are presented. You want to let them know about your climate, your beautiful noun tain scenery, the splendid boule- yard between here and the Grand Canyon. The highway will prove big attraction to motorists. You can utilize the reservoirs near the town in a most profitable way by making tlieii accessible for pleasure purposes.
 q am certainly proud of the school you have here. Nothing will do more to bring a fine class of permanent people here than your public schools. We are going ahead very rapidly in an educa- tional way in Phoenix. The old high school building is being ren- novated to bring it in harmony with the beautiful groop just com pleted last year"

WATERM|LL|ONS FRIED CHICKEN
 FEAST HARbEN
Williams Attorney En- joys Kid Days
 Reunion Hot Biscuits, Georgia Style, Mint Julep
 Same State

Talk about the Fourth of July celebrations! Attorney George W. Harben, of Williams, is back froul Phoenix with a tale of a kid day reunion the Fourth of July under the cottonwoods on the banks of the Grand canal, with one of the prettiest girls in Phoenix replen- ishing his coffee cup, rehelping him to fried chicken rolled in meal and sizzled in lard, and pinching and twisting the greenest of mint for his julep Say, you bachelors of Williams, can you beat it?
 Harben was one of a party of seven, all from the same Dawson county in Georgia, and the same neighborhood, the same public school, the same devilment, who had most joyful reunion. The party besides Harben consisted of MT. and Mrs. w. J. M'Kee, Homer M'Kee, Edward Howard, w. H. Tatum, of Tempe; Miss Ethel liar ris, MT. and Mrs. Ira Fowler, and MT. and Mrs. Lon Smith. Harben says he went to Phoenix on impor- tant legal business, but those who know him, when they read this story, are very likely to discount the legality of the proceedings and enter demurrer Anyhow, Har- ben had a great time. Incidental ly he called on nearly every state official at the capital and heard a lot of boosting for the Williams News and the way it is putting Williams on the map.
 "Even Supreme Judge Franklin had a lot to say about the paper. said Harben, with a reminiscent smile." He read the story of the soul mate mistake over the adver- Using route. The story was pub lished all over the southwest and surely caused a lot of humorous comment. The boosting spirit of The News is already being greatly felt. have come back determined to boost The News as an instru- ment which can. be made by proper support to revolutionize things here and put the town big on the map"
 Hlrben added that there is a great deal of talk at the capital over the changing of the county division bill by eliminating the feature calling fo- ten and seventy five per cent of the vote in the re- spective sections of the county to be divided.
 "All we need to do is to start an initiative bill and present the truth" said Harben?" The sym pathies of the people are with us. The criminal elimination of the per cent feature is going to prove a big boomerang"

 Over Splendid Climate

 "You have a perfect summer cli- mate," said Holmquist just before departure for the north. "No town in Arizona has a more beautiful set ting. All needed to bring hundreds of people from Phoenix and the val ley is to make your attractions known. AS an engineer I see lots of things which might be improved in the way of beautifying the town and many of thefe things must be done before you fully realize the benefits which are naturally yours because of your location and climate. Civic spirit is the biggest thing im- agnible in building up town. Cultivate that and you are bound to 90 ahead rapidly."

CURET0N HOUSE IS ROBBED, POLICE HAVE THIEVES
 SURELY SPOTTED

Parties, believed to be ranchers near Williams, entered a new house recently completed by Presi- dent T. H. Cureton of the Chamber of Commerce, Wednesday night and stole two twelve foot rolls of linoleum, three nine by twelve rugs, two full kits of carpenter tools belonging to P. c. Baker and W. w. Harriott and two short rolls of linoleum.
 The stuff is supposed to have been hauld off by team. The police think they have spotted the thieves but Cureton is disposed to be len tent if they will return the plunder which is valued at about $20O. The house is located on the hill near the residenece of X. N. Stoves.
 Probably the same thieves were guilty of thefts of box of fittings from c. E. Boyce, taken the same night as the Cureton house was rob- bed. The thieves also broke into the room occupied by machinist at the Saginaw, known as Jack. They took his bedding and revolver.
 A case of raincoats shipped to w. c. Rittenhouse from Texas, opened on it's arrival at Williams, was fnnnd to be empty. The coats were extracted some where between Williams and Waco, Texas.
