replied. For years 1 had noticed the
ridiculous thing that the average stage
fight is. L had become Disguised with
the 'precipice wrastling' type of thing

looks like an encounter at arms. I
had come to the conclusion that a

naturally can't be faxed. When the
time came to take the big fight scene

THE EvANCEus1|C MEETINGS

Seldom does one have the op- portunity of enjoying so rich a treat as Williams is enjoying at present.
 The Rev. Geo. W Taylor is a convincing speaker and knows his message. His twenty-five years of experience have made him an expert and he knows the the truth and presents it.
 Mrs. Taylor's heart is so in the work of soul-winning that it shines in her very face. and her work on the cornet is of the most finished kind and everyone is delighted.
 Mir. Echol's voice is enjoyed immensely by all who appreciate the best. He is a born leader and before one knows it, he is carried out in song and singing himself hoarse.
 Flagstaff so appreciated the work of these Evangelists that a delegation came down from there Monday to witness to the good work done in their town. Others hope to come down and likewise help.
 Yuma has provided a taberna- cle and is hurrying these workers to go there, ere the heat becomes oppressive. The length of their stay in Williams depends on the attendance and interest showh by Williams. The Evangelists are used to crowds and the crowd offers greater opportunity for reaching hearts, hence unless we give them the crowds, we cannot retain them many days.
 There are cottage meetings each morning and a 8 p. m. ser vice and a 2 p. m. service each dry in the opera House. Satur- day there will be no 3 D. m. service.
 Easter Sunday there will be three services, II a. m., 3 and 7:30 p. m., at the Opera House.

May Drain Davenport Lake

County Engineer, Powers, paid a visit to Davenport Lake the first of the week. It had been reported to him that t7the lake had reached height which threatened the wash ing out of the fill across it. MT. Powers found the water in the lake within eighteen inches of the top of the fill. As consequence he is considering the expediency of draining the lake. He estimates that as yet not more than two thirds of the snow has run off.

w. J. Parker who was in town the first of the week says that Ad Keeslar is doing good work on the Ash Fork Road. MT. Parker thinks that perhaps our new road boss might have been open to a little criticism for starting work be- fore the road was quite as dry as it should have been, but asserts that the road is certainly dry enough now and insists that the work now being done is giving us a road that will be credit to the county.

 HEROIC EFFORTS!
DREADFUL CATASTROPHE
 NARROWLY INVERTED
The Great Saginaw Dam Still Stands as a monu- ment to Humble Valor.
"Dost thou know what hero is? Why, hero Is as much as any one should say.- hero"
 -LONGFELLOw

High up amid the foothills of old Bill Williams rises a purling noun tain stream, which, gently vending it's devious course to the north, passes thru the town of Williams and ultimately finds its way into the raging Cataract. Seventy miles still further north the latter stream plunges into the rushing Colorado at Supai Indian Village. From the little mountain stream rising at the base of Bill Williams, the town of Williams and the great Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company obtain their water supply by means of four large reservoirs. By far the largest of this series of reservoirs is the Saginaw Dam", splendid concrete structure about forty-fve feet in height and over two hundred and twenty-five feet in length. This great dam backs an abundant supply of pure, fresh, mountain water into box canyon for over half mile and maintains an aver age depth of about thirty feet throughout the year. It is mag nifcent body of water and consti- tutes one of the show places of Williams.
 Last summer, during the bathing season number of persons observed the moistened condition of the north side of the dam near the east end, as well as that water percolated through the rocks below the great structure, but, aside from a few casual remarks made at the time upon the subject, no further atten- tion was paid to the matter.
 Recently the melting snows on the mountain and foothills filled the dam to overhowing.
 In all probability there has not been human visitor at the Saginaw Dam since late last fall. It is loca- ted in an inaccessible spot and is particularly difficult to reach in the winter and early spring at which times the ground is either covered with deep snow or heavy mud. But in summer and. fall it is a delightful spot, romantic in the ex- treme and wildly beautiful.
 Last Saturday afternoon Chapo, a well-known Mexican character about town, concluded to take a walk. It is well that he did so, for it is owing to that impluse upon Chapo's part that in all probability one of the direst Calamities that ever befell an innocent people was averted, and instead of the nation being plunged today into grief and sorrow over the loss of fully one- half the population of our little town, we are alive and happy
 The wanderlust of Chapo directed his steps to the yards of the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Co.,; thence up the road to the first reservoir; on down the bridle-path to the second reservoir, and still onward amid the oaks and pines to the large con- crete dam, where he sat himself down in contemplation of the beau ties of nature here so lavishly dis played. His eyes wandered far out over the placid waters to the dis tant shore where the weeping willows droop their tender branches and the stately pines breathe their fragrance on the ambient air. In a

ELECTION AT RED LAKE
 SCHOOL DISTRICT

A quiet and harmonious election was held at Red Lake school house last Saturday. Three trustees were to be elected and the vote was as follows:
 Trustee for three year term
 w. F. Thomasson 8
 Mrs. D. Mclean 4
 Trustee for two year term
 Carl Kinds 5
 Trustee for one year term
 T. H. Moss 8
 Harry BouIin 4
 Some twenty persons were present at the election. All expressed great satisfaction with the service which T. H. Cureton has given them in their school this year. This was the first sc hool year for the Red Lake School. The enroll ment in the school was fourteen. Red Lake valley is settling up rapidly and promises to be one of the livest, if not the livest, home steader's neighborhood in the county, in the near future. There is hope that an irrigation project which is under way will soon sup ply the valley with abundant water for agriculture. Their school promises to grow rapidly in enroll ment during the next few years.
