Nothing can be said that will be so strong an endorsement of Mir. Sweetwood's efforts in giving the people the best that is to be had in movies at his Tuesday night spec ials, as the large attendance.
 The large attendance last Tues. day night was stronger endorse ment of MT. Sweetwood's efforts to give the people the best that is to be had, than anything the News might say. The people of Will lams are indeed fortunate to have such high class entertainments offered them as are being continu- ally put on at the Sultana.
 "Wildfre' proved a success on the stage and it promises to do equally as we'll on the screen. It was rare privilege to be permitted to see Lillian Russel in this way. Her acting, naturally was superb. Of course she did not choose to have an over beautiful actress to take the part of the you nger sister.

HOLBROOK SCORES OVER
 WILLIAMS GUN CLUB
Williams Blue Rock Enthus- lasts Lose Last Event by IA points, Williams Club Must Get Busy

The Williams Gun Club lost the shoot last Sunday, to Hol- brook. The local team still holds the lead but has only a small lead left. Holbrook's shooting con- tinues to improve steadily while the local men are not quite up to their former shooting form. The score of the last event follows:
 Williams Holbrook Melick 19 Patterson "A Finney 19 Smith 23 Patterson 20 Rencher 23 Button 20 McCleve 20 Lowe IS Hulet 20 Total 96 no
 This is the fourth shoot in the series. The scores for the four events are: Williams, 415; Hol- brook. 406. This reduces the strong lead which Williams made on the first event of the tourna- ment, to an unsafe 9. The Willi- ans club will have to get down to business right CT Holbrook will take the lead at the next shoot. MT. Patterson's namesake at Holbrook has been improving steadily since the opening of the shoot and is now crowding our local men hard for first place. We have confidence in our local men, however, and expect to see them take a strong lead again at the next shoot.
 Score in Local Shoot.
 The interest in the score for the local shoot which is being pulled off simultaneously with the tele- graphic shoot, is growing. The remarkable thing about this is that under the handicap system used, the best shooters do not have any decided advantage over some of the poorer ones. This fact is plainly evident from the score given below:

SPECIAL ROAD MEETING
 HELD TUESDAY NIGHT
Road Complaints Discussed,
 County Engineer Consult ed Remedies Proposed Plans for Action Adopted

Members of the Chamber of Com- merce and others interested in good roads, met at Judge Twitty's office last Tuesday night. Among the live topics of the evenings discus sion were, "Tolls Across Davenport Lake,, Poor cement work on Canyon Read" and "the Ash Fork road". County engineer. Power, was present and expressed his will ingness to join in any movement for the Detterment of the roads. A Road boosters picnic was planned for next Sunday.
 The tolls charged for assisting tourists across Davenport Lake proved the livest of the various topics for discussion. MT. Kirk patrick read an affidavit by Mir. H. L. Sullivan, a Coconino County cattleman, to the effect that he had paid toll of five dollars to get assistance from the road workers in crossing the lake. on his way to Flagstaff and was asked to pay the same amount on his return trip. This he refused to do and found way to get around the lake. He stated further, however, that an- other man told him that he paid $2O to get across. MT. Sullivan further stated that while he and his wife were looking for a way around the lake, he had s7. robe stolen. The discussion waxed warm. Mr. Powers assured the meeting that he would see to it that such abuses were stopped at once
 The faultiness of the cement bridge recently put in across the Cataract just north of town, was second live subject for discussion It appeared that the work was done by inexperienced men and as a result large part of it will have to be torn out and replaced. The need of procuring experienced men for this sort of.work was emphasiz- ed.
 A practical plan for improving the Ash Fork road was proposed and adopted. Next Sunday morn ing at 7 o'clock, all owners of auto. mobiles and all others interested in good roads, are asked to meet be- fore Judge Twitty's office, with autos, picks, shovels and noon lunch, ready to spend day inn proving the Ash Fork road. MT. Power will start grader to work on the road, Saturday, digging gut ters and softenfng the earth. This work will be followed up on Sun day, with pick and shovel. Ruts will be filled and a number of cul- verts will be put in. The Ash Fork road will be pht in good con- dition for travel. Everyone inter ested in good roads is urged to be present at the appointed hour.
