DEM DISSERTATION TRAIN
 COMING NEXT MONTH

The Agricultu ral Demonstration Train will make it's usual visit to nort hern Arizona this year. Prep arations are being made that give promise of the best demonstration yet. Everyone should take note of this coming event and plan on visit ing the train while here. The dates will be announced later.
 The Extension department of the University of Arizona, which has charge of this train, has asked that all efforts possible be made to make the day of the train s visit here a holiday. They ask that the child ren of the schools be permitted to visit the cars for a number of hours, at least, in order that they may learn all that is to be learned from the demonstration. It is even sug- gested that the day be made holi. day for the schools.
 It is fact that heretofore, not nearly so many people have visited the train as should have done so, and it is to be hoped that enough interest will be aroused this year to bring out the crowd that the event r eally merits.

(Mrs. Harold Greene Press Conn

As the campaign for Dry Arizon; is drawing to a close we wish tc address few words to the womer voters of the town of Williams urging them to use their ballot in behalf of the Dry Amendment.
 We should consider it a very great privilege to be able to help in this important work for better town, county and state. Who should be more interested than tte women in better local conditions. higter morals, better entertain ment for our young people? Who suffers more from the evil of the saloon than the mother whose son has fallen, the wife whose husband spends his time, money and health in the saloon? If womeps tears could rid the earth of the liquor evil it would have been drowned years ago. If little childrens pitt ful faces telling only too plainly of want and woe could soften the heart of such a1 evil it wo1ld long ago have made its exit with bowed head.
 If prayers and tears and anxious days and nights could accomplish this work the remedy has been suf- hcient. However it still exists.
 We have now placed in our hands weapon wherewith to strike blow to the liquor traffic in our state, if properly used. Let us go to the polls on next Tuesday and vote yes for the Dry Amend ment and by so doing vote for better town, county, and state. Let us not stop when we have vot- ed let us stay at the polls and work for the amendment. Use your in huence every woman has some - get your friends and neighbors in terested and sse that they vote light on this question. Let the women of Williams stand firm for high ideals in the home, good morals in the town and temper ance turnout the state. Vote Ari- zona Dry Nov. 3.

THE KE[[0GG.HA|NES
 QUAR1EHE PLEASES

Saturday night Oct. 24th Willi. ans was treated to che of the finest if not the finest musical program ever given here. All of the singers had rarely beautiful Voices and great histrionic ability The pro- gram opend with the Strauss 'Springtimc" quartette. The vol ces blended perfectly. "Home to Our Mountains gave the audience an opportunity to enjoy the rich soft voice of the contralto. This was followed by a wonderfully dramatic rendition of "The Pro- logue" from ''Il Pagliacci." The basso was fully equal to the de- mands of this great number.
 The quartette next demonstrated how amusing they could be by giv- ing the ''Milk Maid," and the ':Sing- ing School" The audience was thoroughly captivated by these fetching numbers.
 The ever popular sextette from "Lucia" showed off the clear sweet quality of the sopranos voice.
 The quartette next gave "Songs from the Sixties which charming number was thoroughly enjoyed.
 While the quartette was making ready for this number, the pianist entertained the audience with some Imaginable melodramas.
 The last part of the program was given over to a rendition of the second act of Martha.
 The quartette was very liberal with encores and those who at tended the concert pronounced the evening one of the most en- joyable they had ever spent.

State Senator Hechtman

State Senator J. F. Hechtman and wife, of Globe, were in town last week, explai nirg the unjust ness of the attempts to create Mi ami County out of Gila County.
 They have been visiting the town on the Santa Fe railroad and expect to return to Williams to vote for the State officers on election day, which they can do under the new law, by presenting their certificate of registration to the election board.
 They claim that the division is sought by the man who owns the Miami Townsite, the water works, Electric light and tele- phone plants; that ninety three per cent of the property owners and qualified electors of Gila County oppose the division; and that the matter should be left to the people of Gila for settlement. and that the measure is an abuse of the Initiative provision of our State Constitution. The creation of Miami County, would make two County seats, within four miles of each other.

VIM. H. TAFT WITH LIQUOR.
 INTERESTS!
No Authority on Temperancei

When Wm. H. Taft was Governor f General of the Phil. Islands he op. ened 4SS saloons in Manila before a missionary was allowed to open his mouth or an American teacher a school"
 'As war secretary he went to Okla homa and stumped that state against the Prohibition Amendment to their Constitution ; He also used his influence throughout his term in favoring the infamous Army Can teen"
 When the San Francisco Earth quake and fire occurred and all people met wit heavy losses, Mr. Taft recommended to the |. s. Senat, Committee the reimburse ment to the liquo~ dealers of their losses although all others had to sustain their own"
 The Reciprocity Treaty with Can- ada, for winch Mr. Taft brought such pressure to bear upon Congress, was d deal with the brewars of this nation by which they were to save $40, 0o0, 0O0.00 on barley alone. and for which they were to thr,w their united influence to the sus- of the minisiration t, the next cleo ion"
 Think, then, of the Audac:ty of the liqn"r interests in putting up such man against prohibition! : Their cause is surely weak if MT. Taft Is their strongest witness.

CONCERNING PRO-
 POSED BOND ISSUES
; (Contributed)

The voters of Coconino County
 should vote against the $5, 900, OOO
 bond issue because they are all
 ready over taxed in paying even
 on full valuation the highest tax
 of any state in the union; be-
 cause they have road income
 from the sale of timber which
 will assist their county funds
 making the remainder necessary to raise, less than the other coun- ties. Because under the New County Engineer law. they will have as capable man as their state who will also be conversant with the local conditions mater ials etc. Because the county can spend all of it's own money in- stead of 75 per cent of what it raises as proposed by the bill.
 (This having already lost the county over $38,OOO paid into state fund.- Because the bill provides an expensive location of roads s-located for political req sons and not to secure trunk lines thru the easiest routes across the state to build and maintain.
 Because the 5000, 900 will cost $500, 900 in interest, $25O, 900 in of principle and $500, 900 at 10 per cent deprecation or over $1, 900, 900 total per year tax on the state or $4O,OOO per year on Coconino County which will not include any expenditure on local roads which will have to be maintained in addition.
 Because it will place the money raised in Coconino County in the hands of officials far removed | from this county-not readily | to our wishes nor as interested in our own affairs as we are. ourselves. Coconino County voters should 1 not vote for the 12, 24O, 900 Recla- nation Bond issue because our County will not be benefited.
 Becasue the Salt River project the site selected by the Govern ment as the most feasible in the state is having extreme difficulty n paying even 5 per cent of the back to the Govern nenJ each year to say nothing of interest.
 Because Irrigation bonds are irag on the market Because beside the main dams and canals he fine houses, barnes, live stock, wagons, machinery, small 'anals etc. necessary to farm # 30 acres will cost from $5, 900 o $80O0 and the greatest trouble n irri gaticn districts at present s to get real farm ers wlo not 'nly understand irrigation but lave the money to put the land m paying basis.
 Because of these many diff 'ulties the state would have to 'ay interest on the bonds for an period or foreclose on ts own settlers.
 Because there is greater upply of product from irrigated ands at present than demand. the low price on alfalfa, lay etc. Because the financial world is in chaotic condition at , present. and it is foolish to assume co much financial burden in time when the rest of the. country is lot producing the surplus can;tal

 Dear Sir:
 l wish you would call the atten- tion of the women voters of your county to the fact that MT. Fred Breen who is now a cant idate for the state legislature is not entitled t" their support because of the fact that he has always been unfavora-. ble to any legislation for the bene- lit of women. He voted against the Womans Suffrage Bill and the eight hour law for women when he. was a member of the legislature.
 l do not believe he would change his attitude if he were elected now.

Judge Graham then passed TO the tesi-
mony OF Colder, who was IN the waiting
room when Mrs Bailey was shot and who
ran into the office of DIR. Carman. Celia
said that when Mrs. Carman went into the
office in her lavender dressing gown
Colder was there. colder declared that

recognized her by her white dress Coun-

that II Mrs. Carman had come in there

would not have noticed her,

every witness before which ls vouched for
by the District Attorney, and Vet when
the defendant came into court these Wit
nesses were not called by tho prosecution.
The only explanation o. that he declared.
was that the District Attorney had un-
fairly got from these witnesses all the
convictng testimony they had and then
forced the defence TO call them.
Judge Graham then attacked tho Dis
trict Attorney for refusing ~ file with
the County Clerk the first statement taken
from Frank Farrell. the tramp This
statement was made to Norton a Froeport
notary, and It was not filed because Of the
contention that I've was not sitting as a
coroner when he took H. lie did not know
what Farrell said in this statement, but
he maintained that the jury had right
lied in large part upon n later statement
ny tho same man to indict and convict
Mrs Carman.
He then described how on July Celia
Coleman was taken to Mineola from Free
port on what purported to BE- Grand
Jury subpoena. on that day Mrs Carman
was in the county Jail. With her condi-
ton he contrnsted that Of the negro scrv-
ant. The latter was taken 70 New York
IN an automobile by a man she had seen
only few times before. This man was
Hicks. a Burns detective.
There was no warrant In law, he said,
for doing what was done with Celia that
day. II was on that day that she told
the District Attorney that Mrs. Carman
had gone out OF the house by way OF
the kitchen on the night OF the murder.
The moment she did that. said Judge
Graham she committed perjury. because
she had previously testified that Mrs.
Csrman did not leave the house that
night

He said that there were two conditions
affecting Celia's mind and It's processes
The moral law has no terrors for her ana
the civil and criminal law make no i'm

the condition OF her mind and always
would be He recalled her testimony TO
the effect that DR. Carman had told her
that a negro woman had been seen look
ing into the window through which the
shot was fred. He recalled her testimony
that Mrs Carman had told her that II
anything happened to Celia her little boy
would be taken care Of
He said that II this testimony was TO
he believed the only conclusion to be
drawn from II was that Or. Carman and
Mrs Carman had deliberately planted the
seed OF fear in this girls mind so that
she would go on the stand and perjure
herself TO protect them. He asked II 1t
was a reasonable thing for a woman de-
pending upon Celia to keep silence as to
NOV alleged part In the murder 70 do
hing Ike that. wouldn't the girl rather
he likely 10 tell all she knew about IT.
This he maintained she had done when
SHE npDcared before the Coroner. when
she said she did not see Mrs Carman In
The Kitchen after dinner that night.

Judge Graham, there was not a line
