A STRENUOUS ATTEMPT
 TO CHANGE THE ROUTE

Reports from southern Arizona towns indicate that a determined fight will be made through the Ari- zona representatives in both con- gressional branches of congress to change the route of the proposed national highway from the route adopted by the Old Trails associa- citation at their recent Kansas City convention to the route which the convention rejected.
 It appears the adherents of the southern route are never satisfied unless they are favored with the
 "whole hog" and this spirit of un- reasonableness was the cause of heir failure to secure the Old Trails association's endorsement of the southern route It is well known fact that they have for years been advertising the Grand Canyon as side trip from Phoenix, a little run of few hours off the line of of the southern route, but it appears that the tourists have learned a lit tie of the location of the Canyon and are not so easily misled as for merly.
 It is their claim that the southern route offers an all year round weather condition; when as mat ter of fact during the summer sea- son, it is the hottest section of the union for almost four months, and the vast stretches of sand in the wake of this route make the roads very hard to travel.
 Another point that was brought out recently in favor of the north ern route was the fact that this route followed the railroads almost all the way and that tourists would always be near some line of trans ,portation. The northern route is
 open ninety days longer throughout the year than the southern route
 and only in exceptional years and
 for but very short periods are the
 roads in such shape as to be hard
 to negotiate
 This fact has become well known to the tourists of the east and west and they have decided with the
 northern route because it is the | most feasible as we'll as the most
 scenic and most pleasant for motor ists.
 The people of northern Arizona
 should not take it for granted that
 this highway is an assured fact.
 The south will make a determined
 effort to secure a change in the
 route, and it behooves the people of
 this section to band together and
 make sure that change is not se-
 cured when the appropriation is
 made by congress.
 It is hardly to be supposed that
 the representatives in congress will
 undertake to change this route if
 northern Arizona objects to the
 change, and every effort should be
 made to make it clear to our con-
 gressmen and senators that we have won this victory by persistent ef-

LOS ANGELES CONCERT
 COMPANY HlGH-CLASS

The famous septet of the Los An geles Concert Company, under the auspices of the Santa Fe reading rooms, gave an entertainment last Tuesday night which packed the Sultana theatre. It was composed of some of the b st talent of the Angel City and the piano, guitar, banjo and cello were all rendered by master hands.
 Part two of the entertainment was a beautiful one-act opera entitled "Zannetto," which consumed some forty-five minutes in. the rendering and which, though pronounced tine some by some would-be free-show critics, was one of the most delight ful short sketches ever put on a Williams sage The beautiful so- prano voices of 'Zannetto" and Sylvia" represented respectively by Misses Rena Macdonald and Ethel Lillian Best, held the au- dience enchanted until the curtain fell and the spell was broken.
 Edw. Borgum, banioist, in addi- ton to his old-time plantation melo- dies, performed some difficult and entertaining feats on that instru- ment and was we'll received.
 There was not dull moment for music lovers during the entire even ing, and all departed glad that they had the privilege to be there.

Williams p, Flagstaff Is

The baseball game last Saturday at Flagstaff between the Williams high school boys and the boys from the normal resulted in victory for the Williams boys by score of P to IS, but it took ten innings to de- eide the game. It is said to have been one of the most interesting games played on the Flagstaff grounds this season. Our boys speak very highly of the way they were treated by the Flagstaff boys. The News hopes to see this kindly feeling exist all season between the two towns, no matter who are the players.

AVERTED-ARBITRATiON.

New York, Feb. 12.-The threatened
strike action of the $4,000 firemen on
the fifty-four railroads east of the
Mii sissippi and north of the Ohio,
was placed in the hands of Govern
Elent officials tonight for them to
avert it by mediation if possible. Act
ino under provisions of the Erdman
act, President w. S. Carter of the Bro
tAerhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, telegraphed Judge Mar
tin A. Knapp of the commerce court,
anC G. w. w. Harger acting commits
sitr Ter of labor at Washington, re-
Questing them to mediate in the crisis
which has arisen between the firemen
and the railroads.
Elisha Lee, chairman Of the confer
ence committee of railroad managers
announced the railroads would accept
the services of Messrs. Knapp and
Hanger as mediators.
Mr.. Carter's telegram came after
the close of a stormy meeting be-
tween the managers and the firemen.
Mr.. Carter advised the managers he
Lad been authorized by the votes of
965 firemen out of every 1000 in the
organization, to call strike should
the railroads decline to grant the de-
mands for increased pay and addi-
tlolal firemen on 1000 large locomo-
tives. These demands Mr. Carter Of
feed to arbitrate under the Erdman
act before a board Of three men.
The managers agreed the firemen
we're entitled to an increase in pay
something-and also offered to arbi'
tate. Bnt the managers wanted to
arb:trate before a commission of sew
en men.
With both sides willing TO arbitrate
the merits of the controversy became
secondary to the method of arbitra'
ticn. Thus deadlocke'd, they adjourn
ed sine die, each side notifying the
other that upon it would rest the
blame for a strike.
