Official Paper of Coconino Count
Some Advantages Due to Order
 ing Goods at Home

How many of those who are patrons of Montgomery Ward and the rest of the mail order firms, ever stop to think how many advantages which they are enjoying are the result of trad ing at home? If all the people ordered all of their goods thru mail order houses, what would Williams amount to?
 To begin with, except for peo- pie trading at home, we would not have a single retail merchant. This would mean that all of these men with their clerks and de liverymen would have to seek a livlihood elsewhere. It would take out of Williams, a large part of the very best part of her pop ulation. After them would fol- low the newspaper, the iceman, the water and light company, for the revenue of all these comes largely from the merchants. The bank, too, would be seriously crippled and might no longer prove a paying business.
 Indirectly, the churches would fail for want of support, the schools would lose a large part of their attendance and the high school would become a hope of coming centuries. Ball teams, boy scouts, lyceurn courses, high class pictures, and entertain ments, all of these would no long CT pay and would cease to be. In fact, the mill would be the one business able to survive and it would be somewhat crippled. The only people left in town, outside of Mexican mill hands and section hands, would be a few ranchers, mill hands and railroad employees whose posi- tions necessitated their staying here, and their families would nestly live elsewhere.
 Such would be the natural mail order town. When you buy at home you get more than the goods you buy, you help to pro- vide yourself with community fit to live in and to bring up child ren in. These indirect benefits are of far greater value than many people suppose.

Concerning Dry Towns

The Yuma Examiner of July 16 says:
 ''Yuma officers, Marshal Henry
 Levy and Constable Al Purtell,
 are continually on the alert, and
 are leaving no stone unturned to
 bring the guilty to justice, and,
 in consequence, Yuma has a
 reputation far and wide as a
 model dry town, and the outside
 world marvels at the reformation
 that has been wrought here in a
 few short months.
 This speaks well for Yuma but Yuma has nothing on Williams in this. Thanks to the efforts of the local officers and to the Marshal in particular. Williams is fast gain ing the reputation of being the dryest town in Northern Arizona. Flagstaff, too, which some predict ed could not be made dry for ten years, under the vigilant eye of the county sheriff is being forced to get along with nothing stronger than cider and even that has to be sweet.
 Already violations of the dry law are becoming almost as infreq- uent as those of the law against theft. The law is fast growing popular with all of the law abiding element.

Dance at Maine

A very pleasant dance was given at Maine July 17th by the State highway workers. The ladies club gave box supper in connection, the proceeds netting $36. 75. This fund will be used for lighting pur- poses and to make things pleasant for visitors, and to prepare for future entertainments. MT. Welsey from Will Hams kindly consented to auctioneer off the boxes, which kindness was much appreciated by the ladies. Several people came out from Williams to attend the dance. Hope they will come again. Everyone seemed to have a good time. We hope to hold these dances often.

ounty and of the Town of Williams

between Rabbits Garage and the Palace restaurant and the other is just east of the Williams Drug Store. This location has the ad- vantage of being central, and the proposed building would have three party walls to annex to, all of which are brick or stone. Erecting the building here would remove a serious "eye-sore" from the town, at the same time.
 The council has been informed that the lots could be purchased for$2, 200 and a contractor of con- siderable experience in cement work, estimates that suitable building could be erected for $2, 900 on this location.
 A building plan which has been suggested for this location, would utilize the basement, already ex- cavated, for a city prison, and use one end of the first floor for fire headquarters.
 Some contend that the new hall should be, located where the old building now stands. The News will gladly supply free space in it's columns for discus sion of this question.

Council Considers Paving

At the regular meeting Of the viii
lage council Monday evening COM
mittee was appointed to secure an en-
gineer 10 make plans and specifications
for paving Johnson avenue from the
foot of the hill to the depot. The
personel of this committee, known as
the street and alley committee, are
Frnak A. Jones, C. G. Curtiss and
W. H. Noble.
Mr.. Cook of the Bithulithic paving
company of Portland was present.
He guaranteed the cost of paving with
the Bithulithic product not to exceed
two dollars per square yard. After
discussing the paving problem for a
time the board adjourned until next
Monday night, when they will again
take the matter up. 1t seem that the
matter of paving this one street at
this time is going to be of real in
terest to the business men of this
town. 1t is much needed improve
ment, and when once made will be a
permanent one and one that all will
be proud of. We predict that if
Orofino paves this one street that
others will follow.

Only Government Owned
Railroad In South Idaho

President Woodrow Wilson controls
at least one railroad and has the au-
thority to issue passes over it. He
is by virtue of is office, officia! pres
ident of the only standard gage rail-
road in the United States built and
operated by the government 1t is
the Arrowrock line constructed by the
Reclamation service to carry supplies
from Boise to the largest irrigation
dam in the world, the Arrowrock,
located twenty miles above this city.
And it is paying common carrier
from the earnings of which surplus
has been turned back into the United
States treasury. This road is in
operation now and has been for the
past four years having been built in
1911.
When the gigantic task of erecting
the Arrowrock dam across the Bois Sc
river was conceived the problem of
transporting the supplies to it's site
had to be solved. This resulted in
the decision to build the railroad. 1t
was constructed with maximum
grade of one and one-half per cent
and maximum curvature of IL de-
grees, up the Boise river canyon and
was success from the start. 1t is

Supreme Court Upholds
Idaho's New Dry Law

Idaho's amendatory local option
law said to be one of the most strin-
gentSin the United States, operative
now in prohibition counties, and which
will apply to this state as whole on
and after January l. 1916, is constitu-
tional in every form. This is the
sweeping ruling of the state supreme
court in an opinion handed down
September l. 1t is held to be not
in contravetion of section one of the
fourteenth amendment of United Stat
es; its title is not defective; each and
every part of it comes within the
subject Of general legislation; it does
not prohibit surgeons, physicians,
dentists or hospitals from using pure
alcohol for medicinal purposes as con-
tended and that prohibition districts
do not now have to vote on it's adop-
tion, says the court.
The opinion is on the application of
Edward Crane of Latah county to
secure writ of habeas corpus for his
relese from Jail there on the charge Of
having liquor in his possession,
which the law prohibits. The writ
is pushed and Crane remanded to the

custody of the sheriff.
Passing on the validity and consti-
tutionality of the act, the supreme
court says in part:
"We have reached the conclusion
that this act is not in contravention
of section l of the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States nor of section 13, article l of
the constitution of Idaho; that it was
passed by the Legislature with view
to the protection of the public health,
the public morals and the public
safety; that it has real and SUBJ
stantial relation to those objects and
that it is, therefore, reasonable ex-
ercise of the police power of the state.
I'm order to set the minds of citi-
zens of the state forever at rest upon
this point, (the contention that the
law prohibits the use of alcohol by
physicians and surgeons in the practice
of their profession) we will say that
the practice of surgery, dentistry and
dental surgery are sciences and that
pure alcohol may be procured under
the terms Of this act in the manner
provided therein for use.
