FOR BETTER STREETS

Within the past SIX or eight months the city has spent many dollars in poor endeavor to build first class streets in the business sections, dollars that were practic- ally wasted, for we still have as unsatisfactory road beds as before the money was expended.
 The council who have just vacat- ed their seats had at one time the opportunity of appointing one of their members who was practical road builder, but the powers that then controlled the council saw fit to ignore the practical man and appoint an inexperienced man in road building as overseer, with the result that the town did not get practical roads as was possible with the material at hand.
 The town is to be congratulated, now that they again have the prac- tical road builder on the council in an official capacity where his knowledge and experience of road building will no doubt be used to good advantage.
 There is no question but with proper handling of material that is at the towns disposal we should have as fine streets in the business section as is possible to make in this part of the state.
 AS it is impractical for the town to attempt to sprinkle the streets with water, why not go a. step farther, blow up the horrible road bed on Bill Williams Ave, spread what cinders are now piled up in the middle of the street over the entire width of the street grade and roll and sprinkle with crude oil, and ffish with a top dressing of cinders to work into the oil, which would make a dustless and fairly hard street surface.
 There are thousands of gallons 
 of crude oil in large stump near the Santa Fe roundhouse that is totally unfit for fuel having been exposed to the air so long until most of the volatile properties are lost for fuel purposes leaving the viscosity or glutinous and asphal- tum properties intact, which are the needed ingredients for road building.
 No doubt it would be an easy matter for the town fathers to ar- range with the Santa Fe for the purchase of quantity of this re- fuse oil at a very reasonable figure for the purpose of road building.
 California has many miles of roads that have been oiled and the oil narrowed into the native dirt which makes good roadways. Oil mixed with the cinders we have should make better road than the California ordinary oiled roads.

COMMENCEMENT

The Williams Public School Commencement was held last Thursday evening at the School Auditorium to a large and appreci- ative audience of parents, friends and patrons.
 The Class of 1914 was the largest and probably the most talented and proficient in the history of the school. Of the class enrolled eight years ago by Miss Sughrue only four, Ruth Miller, Edna Poison. George Jordan and Ragnor Erie berg, graduated.
 Lucillae Owen, by her steady and conscientious work, won the honors by a fraction with Peter Campbell as second. About half of the class were working for the honors and not until the final summing could one determine who was high. Lucillae delivered the validictory in most pleasing manner.
 The class had chosen Ruth Mil fer as historian and James Ross as Prophisier and both proved them selves worthy of their charge.
 The music was furnished by the pupils of the school. The band, orchestra and Glee Club numbers were all very good, but the vocal solo by James Ross and the piano solo by Edna Poison, both mem bers of the class, were especially appreciated.
 Following the address and pre- sentation of diplomas to the class by MT. Youngblood, the class play "The Headless Horseman'' was produced under the direction of Miss Daggs.
 The play was clever and cIsn1y rendered. The audience and class alike enjoyed every minute. Altho each pupil deserves comment the work of Kenneth Reid, Marshall Hughes, Marie Miller, Lilo Padillo, James Reid, Edna Poison, Lucillae Owen and Peter Campbell was es- pecially good. Peter Campbell as Ikabod Crane, the old schoolmaster was a comedian from start to finish and together with his excellent work and the able support of u e class made the play a huge success

 "Dear Sir: In reply to your query of recent date I would say that formerly{I owned 40 acres of land in Kansas which I traded on a valuation. of $50 per acre for 12O acres near Peoria, Maricopa County Arizona at asyaluation of $65 per acre.
 ''The last year owned the Kan sas land the taxes amounted to $17.42 and the first year owned the Arizona land of practically the same value, the taxes amounted to $139. 55 and it has been growing ever since. If the taxes are eight times as large in wet Arizana as they are in dry Kansas, how do the saloons help pay the taxes7 If there is anything other than the saloon and their burden of evil. to make this difference do know what it is. .;.
 CORA R. WEED" }...
 To make this comparison moro illuminative the following statistics are of interest: The population. of Kansas is 1,6s0,949. The popula- tion of Arizona is 234,OOO. Kan- sas has 860 prisoners in the peni4 tentlary; Arizona has 456, or in other words. Kansas has one pris- oner to every 1866 people, while Arizona has prisoner to every 516 people. Kansas has, accord ing to the brewers year book, 6O7 liquor dealers and Arizona Ines according to the same authority, 1,OO9 liquor dealers, or in other words Kansas has one liquor deal. CT to every 2S94 people, while Ari- zona has one dealer to every 2S1 people. To make the application even more local there have been in the past five months 2381 arrests by the police force of Phoenix. Of these eight or nine of every ten have been for drunkenness, and this showing, tremendous as it is. really conveys but meager idea of the actual drunkenness, beacuse as long as man can stay on his feet and navigate he does not get on the police rolls.

FISHING PARTY

Last Saturday Dr. Melick, De- mas Yoder, J. B. Tooker, Albert Lebsch, George Barnes, and R. M. Reese left Williams in two autos for Oak Creek on a fishing trip. They went by way of Flagstaff and report a very enjoyable outing. The road to Flag. is in excellent condition, but from Flag. to Oak Creek is rougher. They drove their autos down into the Canyon and back. The trail is very steep with a number of sharp turns, but their Hups. made it down and up without difficulty, This trip is a test for automobiles. { MT. Reese is very enthu siastic about the Oak Creek country. After having been in a number of differ ent states he has found nothing to compare to it. He says that the  scenery is beautiful. and that as soon as you begin to leave mount aims you can smell the wild flowers.
 They found the trees loaded with peaches about the size of hens eggs.
 When asked what luck they had catching Mountain Trout MT. Reese assured deprecatingly abont fifty.
 Some of these men plan to re- turn with their families. later and spend some weeks on the Oak Gre k Valley.
