GEO. w.. GLOWNER

Our city attorney escaped being a native son of California by being born in the land where the people have to be shown-Missouri-b his parents crossed the plains to the former state with an OK team before George could talk or walk. Living on a farm, he attended the rural schools of the day and finished his education in the State University of Kentucky at Lexington Admitted to the bar, he immediately took high place among the legal quired a lucrative practice, but in 1895 he came to Arizona, locating at Flagstaff, seeking the balsamic ozone among the pines in this atmosphere for a throat affection which drove him from the damp coast climate. Becom- ing prominent and successful in his chosen profession, he decided to per manently locate in Williams and about five years ago moved here. He was city attorney of Flagstaff three years and has been city attorney of Williams four years, establishing a reputation for courage, honor, integ rity and that of a sound lawyer. In the office of city attorney all look alike to Mr. Glowner and he has earned the enviable reputation of PldylIlS no ldVOIlteS. I1e HdS made municipal law speciality and his opinions in that branch of the prac- tice has been much sought by law yers throughout Arizona. He stands for high ideals and a lofty standard of professional morals, and most la mentally depreciates the modern ten dency of the times in it's deplorab1e commercialization, as being profes- sionally degenerative, the people thereby losing respect for and conf dence in lawyers. MT. Glowner is happily married and has two sons. Sheridan Lee, aged fifteen, and Vol ney Loveland, aged eleven.
 He takes a deep interest in all things military and was national guardsman for fifteen years, occupy ing every position from corporal to that of major He has always been a close and deep student of the pro fession and he keeps in touch with it's progressive changes.
 At the close of the Spanish-Ameri- can war he resigned from the service, it being in his estimation a reflection on guardsman in not being per mitted to enter the volunteer service in time of war. However, the war was of too short duration for many of the national guards to be mustered into the service.

of men who are placed in charge q its affairs, and upon no one munieipaI officer rests more responsibility thai upon. the mayor. Take the countrl overf pick out any town or city thai has made rapid growth in prosperit1 or population, and you come to anal lyze the causes which have brought about these conditions, they will bi found to have originated with soma public spirited official, usually thi mayor, because his powers and intiu| ence are greater, whose adminiStra| ton is sufficiently broad, business-hk1 and liberal, to develop the natural resources which under less favorabl] conditions have lain dormant.
 There are few who dispute the facI that Mayor Carlson's administration has been conducted on business prinI ciples and along lines which have fOsl tered the best interest of the city Al a partial result of the mayors busiI ness administration is seen the moveI ment for a greater Williams. TOI day there is more interest felt among
 our business men and property ownI CTS in attracting the attention of thj outside world and realizing on thl city's natural resources than has evei been shown before. The mayor had applied the same business rules in thj conduct of the -city's affairs whie| have placed him in the important pol sition he holds in connection with onl of AriZona's greatest industries.
 His administration has been cleaI| from the start and his official acti have only been influenced by what hd considered for the city's good.
 Mayor Carlson has been a resident of Williams for some years and durI ing that time has been connected with the Saginaw Mainstee Lumbe Company and is now in entire chargj of the box manufacturing department of that great institution.

THE CABINET

The Cabinet and Sam Edgington, its owner, are two of the big features of life in Williams. The Cabinet is not all saloon, not by a long shot. Tn reality there are two cabinets, cabinet within a cabinet, as it were, but there is only one Sam Edgington and he is king over both.
 The Cabinet is the popular resort in Williams at the southeast corner of Railroad avenue and Second street. It is noted throughout Northern Ari zona for the excellency of it's wet goods service. He is known to every old-timer in the southwest as a man who always deals on the square and in wet goods, serves only the best Many an old-timer, journeving by rail or auto, or horseback, as the case may be, goes miles out of his way Hams just for the sake of chatting over old times, the days of romance and sentiment now gone forever, and of which he and Sam Edgington formed a notable part No boys like the old boys, and to them no times like the old times.
 The Cabinet within the cabinet con sists of one of the finest collections of ores, precious stones and curious to be found anywhere in the south west. If stones could talk, rich would be the entertainment poured out from the splendid ore cabinet which orna- ments the Cabinet Saloon.
 The saloon is equipped with sp1en- did pool tables, and the place is con- ducted for gentlemen in every sense of the word Edgington is a great booster for Williams. He stands heart and soul, body and brooches for county division, and wants everybody to know it. He has no lots to spec ulate with, but believes in the great future of western Coconino and Will Hams as it's. natural center.

 William M'Coy, MT. Crowe's part ner, has been a resident of Williams for twelve years, and like his partner is known and respected. by hundreds because of the squarness of his char acter. Neither Pat Grove nor Billy" M'Coy ever listened to the plea of a square man in vain. Both are ardent advocates of county division, believ- ing that Williams is destined to grow very rapidly because of it's incompar- able summer climate, and the settle ment of the big and fertile country around the city.

The Same Way

Three prisoners escaped from the
Bonner county Jail last evening
about $50 clock and up to the

are John Ryan, sent from this city
to answer to charge of assault
with deadly weapon before the
district court; Arthur Hall, charged
with larceny and sent up from
Clarksfork: Charles King, charged
with having sold liquor to Indians
at Standpoint.
The prisoners used the same
method to make their getaway
from the county Jail as was used
at the time of the jailbreak some
two years ago. The men climbed
on top of the cages and cut a hole
through the wooden walls, jumped

The prisoners chose an opportune

Keeper Twiss was the only officer
at the Jail when the escape was
made. Shortly after o'clock
Twiss made the rounds of the Jail
as usual to see that everything
was alright and then discovered
that three men were missing. Fol-
lowing this discovery the alarm
was spread and dogs were set upon
the trail of the fugitives. The
dogs led a posse to the Great Nor

fugitives headed for the Northern

THE LOCAL TEAM WINS AGAIN
High School Basket Ball Boys Defeat
Sandpoint-Score so to IL

The Boomers Ferry high school
Basket ball team won an easy
victory over the Standpoint team
last Saturday night at Kent's hall
by a score of so to II. Although
one sided the game was fast and
exciting from start to finish and at
no time was the home team in
danger of losing.
Jarvis got loose for three baskets
early in the game and Kent follow
ed with four more within the first
ten minutes and after that Sand
point did not have a chance as the
locals steadied down to a fast ag-
gressive game keeping the ball in
Boomers Ferry territory. The
locals played consistent ball scoring
20 points in the first period and "a
in the second.
The team signals worked we'll as
Capt. Norton had the jump on his
man throughout both halves thus
enabling his forwards to do some
excellent passing. The team work
according to the spectators was
even better than that of the Libby
game. The shifting criss-cross
formations of the local forwards
seemed to bother the Standpoint
guards; consequently the forwards
were loose for good shots a greater
part of the game. Earl Garrett
refereed the game to the satisfac-
ton of both teams.
The team is fortunate in having
center of Norton's caliber as
signal work is made easy. He has
had the jump on every center he
has played against this season.
The guarding of Bangs, DeWoli
and O'Callaghan was first class.
They held their opponents to field
goals. O'Callaghan played the
best game of the season.
The team is somewhat handi-
capped owing to the illness Of
Campbell and Yahne, two first
team men, but they and expected
to be in shape for the Libby game
The team will go to Priest River
Friday to play the high school
team of that place. A return
game will be played in Boomers
Ferry on Feb, 9TH, Coach ]. F.
Carlson will take the following
players to Priest River; Norton,
Jarvis, Kent, OCallaghan, Bang.
and Mcnamara.
