keeslar Completes Bridge

Practically speaking Ad Keeslar, road boss, has now completed the fine iron bridge across the Cataract below its junction with Dogtown Wash. The bridge is one hundred feet long and seven feet above the bed of the Cataract. It is wide enough to permit the easy passing of teams or automobiles on the bridge. This completes the bridg- ing necessary to make the canyon road possible ln all kinds of wealth CT. The bridge is built on cement piers and built for the future. The old road forded the Cataract twice and Dogtown Wash once. The new road has two bridges that do away with all three lords.
 While the bridge is open to the public and completed, for all prac- tical purposes. MT. Keeslar intends to spend another day smoothing down the floor and adding other finishing touches. This would have been done Tuesday except for the snow.

N0 DEMONSTRATION as-
 TRAIN THIS YEAR

There will be no demonstra- tion train this year. Both the Agricultural Extension Depart ment of the University of Ari- zona and the United States De- partment of Agriculture have arrived at the conclusion that the money which these demonstra- ton trains cost can be better spent in other ways-especially in increasing the number of farm advisors.
 It is estimated that the six weeks trip of the train, costs aboot $5, 900 in all and that some 10000 people visit the train only part of whom are farmers. Five thousand dollars would pay for visits to 2,OOO farmers, for 200 farmers meetings attended by 5000 farmers and their fam lilies, and for many cooperative demonstrations, boys and girls clubs, and farmers organizations besides.

WILLIAMS LOSES
 BASKET BALL GAME

A fast and exciting game of bask-- ct ball took place on the local floor last Friday evening. Williams led in the scoring and outplayed their opponents during the first part of the game. The experience of the Winslow boys proved their best asset and by consistent playing they came thru the game with the larger score,
 Williams has the making of good basket ball team. All the boys need is little more experience and a lot of hard work.
 The next game on the local floor will be played with the Winslow High School, sometime after the holidays. Let everybody come to- the game and support the home boys. la

A Bitter Cold Experience

A Bitter Cold Experience
 c. B. Williams with his wife and their little daughter, started to drive to Williams Tuesday from their homestead in Garland Prairie. The wagon was heavi- ly loaded with their goods as they were moving to town, and when about half way to town their horses gave out and they could go no further. MT. Will jams was fortunate enough to get a chance to send word to town of his plight, however, and MT. Plummer, of the Cabinet Barber Shop, closed his shop and set out to get an automobile to go to the rescue. He secured the partnership machine belong ing to Smith and Gold, and Carl Valentine offered his services as chauffeur. When the machine reached the stranded wagon, Mrs. Williams and little daugh- ter were severely chilled, and ex- cept for help might have suffered seriously. Mrs. Williams and the little girl were brought in in the auto and MT. Williams, with a lighter load, continued the journ- ey to town with the team.

ROYAL NE|GHBORS
 SURPRISE |. ]. ]. r.

The Ladies of the Royal Neighbors sprung surprise on the members of Williams Lodge No. 15, I. O. O. F. last Wednes- day evening when the lodge members were unexpectedly in vited to forsake the lodge room and repair to the banquet room, where a most elaborate spread had been prepared and was awaiting the onslaught. It re- quired but little persuasion on the part of the hostesses to in- duce the guests to do full justice to the occasion and the havoc created brought to the mind of one of the diners the following story as illustrative of the oc- casion.
 A hunting party made camp in the cane brakes of Arkansas and the negro cook was given strict instructions not to leave the camp under any circumstan- ces as the razor back hogs would be certain to raid the camp and make a general cleaning up. Notwithstanding his emphatic warning, Rastus one day strayed from camp fo a few hours and returned at just about the same time the hunters did. The hogs had been there and the camp could no longer be recognized as suchs Not only had all proyis- ions been eaten, but even tent pegs: rooted up and the entire camp #as in aistate of dilapida- tion. s.s
 Rastus looked on the scene for a fewminutes with Mideay open ed eyes and then slowly shaking his head gave forth the follow ing: The Lord shore knew his business when he named them critters hogs".
 And so it was in the minds of that well fed and highly pleased body of Odd Fellows: The organ izer of the Royal Neighbors knew his business when he con- ferred upon them their name they had amply demonstrated their right to be so called.

 December 2 . crew of men com menced the bridge pn 0Ah E<seks at Sedona. The bridge is to be. of. steel on a concrete set of abutt-s ments. The structure is to, be 2 hundred feet long and will be about 15 feet above low water. Oak Creek has been known to rise 10 feet above low water. By being 15 feet it will allow for all manner of highwater and driftwood. It will take about 6 weeks or two months to complete the bridge.
 The value of this bridge to the countrycan net be over estimated. There remains but one more great link until Jerome, Clarkdale, Oak Creek and Flagstaff will be linked by the most interesting route in the State and that link is a steel bridge at Clarkdale. It is under stood that there is great liklihood of of bridge between Clarkdale and Peck's Lake. Sedona is IT miles from Clarkdale by the most feasible route.
 Among our population helping to build the bridge are MT. Lee Van Deren, Billy Lee, Loyd Van Deren and Morgan Thompson. Fred Moore and E. w. Hart are busily engaged in getting material on the ground to work with.-
 J.J. Thompson, the postmaster is quite i'll witha bad cold, and his daughter Mrs. Jesse Purtyman has been dangerously ill and is some better at,this writing. ,
 Charles Stemmer is busily engag- ed in pruning trees on the ranch.
 Miss Lamport, who teaches our school spent several days in Jerome institute.
 Sedona has 8 population of one hundred men women and children now, and seems to have greater possibilities than ever. We boast of farming, stock raising, fruit grow ing, poultry raising, and mining as present resources. Nine miles from 5edona is a large ledge of copper ore exposed which assays $17.50 per ton just few feet down. All it lacks now is money to develop it The owners have large families.

disposed of the proposition TO increase
the minimum weight on lime Crude
petroleum and junk were the next two
propositions taken up by the commits
sion.
Without exception the livestock in
dustry Of the state protested vigor-
ously against any increase being made
IN the rates as proposed by the rail-
roads. The shippers and cattlemen gen
orally were OF the opinion that if the
railroads would give prompt service
they would earn more revenue. and at
the same time decrease damage claims
arising out Of delays in shipments
reaching destination on schedule time.
On the other hand, the railroads.
through their experts. produced figures
to show that the present rates were far
too low, and that after deducting all
expenses in the transportation OF a

81 cents profit for the railroads.
