To Coconino County Stockmen:

There will be held at Williams, arizona, on April 20th, 1914, a spe. cial meeting of the Coconino Catt. le Growers Association.
 This meeting was deemed advisa- ble, and it was so voted at the reg, ular, meeting for the purpose of fully discussing the Kent Grazing Bill HI. R. JO539 as it is quite apparent that this Bill is not fully understood by all Stockmen and since such bill if passed would vitally effect the Stockmen of Coconino County we feel that a perfect understanding of the measure is good business.
 Other questions of importance will come up for discussion and your attendance is respe ctfully re quested.
 Come and bring your neighbors.

FOR OUR SUMMER VISITORS
 An Invitation for All to Join in Preparing to Vel come Them
sThere is not in the wide world A valley so sweet,

"There is not in the wide world A valley so sweet,
 As the vale in whose bosom The bright waters meet" So spoke the illustrious Poet Moore
 when he described the first sight of
 the beauties of the region of the
 lakes of Killarney; at that timestill
 unknown to fame. 'Tis well said
 that time unfolds the picturesque
 beauties of the future, and since
 faith in the past is our guide to
 that which awaits us; Williams
 with it's wonderful climate the
 beautiful skyline of the mountains, rising to the heavens on all sidts;
 the dotted crystal lakes to be seen
 from foothills surrounding the
 town, the sunkissed skies and the
 blue heavens, must have in store for us, even in this section of Ariz- ona, futureof equal greatness, of equal promise and greater wealth.
 Yearly, the vast army of pleasure seekers wend their way from the cities to some interesting and pleas ant place of amusement and of rest. And as the property of the people of this country increases, and sure ly this is the trend of the times, new play grounds must be opened and new scenes of interest and of beauty will attract the millions who will seek the places of noun tainous altitude. There is no place in the Union blessed with more surrounding than our little progressive city-nestling like . child in the cradle awaiting her strength to go forth to arise and go ] forth, assert her strength and take her place along side Colorado Springs. Manitou, Glenwood, and Cheyenne. We must realize. that we are only in our infancy, and he that would succeed must try. and < if perchance he fail, he must try again until finally perseverance will win. Shakespeare said sThere is tide in the affairs of men, when taken at the flood leads on to
 fortune", and as with men, so it is communities and cities. Our fut- ure is just what we make it, and it is the earnest hope and desire of < the citizenz of the Gateway City to make this the great play ground of the Southwest for which natu.e has lavishly endowed this section of Northern Arizona. People from t he South will come here in large numbers for the coming summer and it is to be hoped that ample quarters will be available to take care of all our summer visitors. In order to facilitate accommodation for the tourists we expect, an effort should be made to list all places, that will give accommodations to visitors, with the Chamber of Com meroe. The President and the Sec retary will encourage and assist anyone along these lines. A tent city has been suggested in the Can yon south of Williams and along the foothills while the theatres and places of amusement will engage special features for the coming sea son.. Letevery booster get behind the movement and do all they can to increase our already large sum mer colony.
