CAMPFIRE GIRLS TAKE
 SUMMER ENCAMPMENT

Seven of the Williams girls who have been talking of organ izing a Campfire Girls Company in Williams, are this week en- camped on. the grounds formerly occupied by the Boy Scouts, with Miss Peet as chaperon. They are having a delightful, exhilera- ting and health building time. While they are not yet Camp Fire Girls in fact, they are in spirit and assret that it will be only matter of time until they complete their organization and become affiliated with the nation al organization.
 They began their encampment on Monday and will continue it until Friday, when the Scouts will again take possession of the tents and grounds which they have generously loaned the girls. The girls are proving good custo- dians and will be sure to turn tents and equipment over to the Scouts in first class condition.
 Of course the girls thot they had to scrub the table and dishes the first thing they took charge of the camp, and they will give them a last scrubbing before evacuating, all of which the boys know is unnecessary. On the other hand, the knowing that there is an axe and two tar get rifles in the girls camp, are worried lest none of the camp fire squad return whole and firm in limb as they went. And then as for really DOING THINGS, of course it takes the scouts to demonstrate first aid, signaling, tracking and the hundred other things that Boy Scouts must know and do.
 It is possible that the girls may encamp again next week, pro- vided that Miss Peet can give them another week of her time and the Scouts can spare their tents.

WILEY E. JONES
 FOR GOVERNOR

One year from now the politica
 campaign war will be waging ir
 Arizona again. The success of any campaign depends on it's leaders
 The democrats, if they desire te
 be sure of success, must have 9
 leader and a standard bearer who
 have been tried and found true to
 the peoples trust. It IS no time for experiments. The NEWS hay ing had it's ear to the ground foI some time listening to the crystal ization of the political sentiment in this State, now boldly comes forth and suggests the name of a man, who true to the principles of Jeffer- sonian democracy has enforced the laws of our State as no other man or no other State has ever done, but has done so in spirit of ab- solute fairness add justice to rich and poor weak and strong alike regardless of his personal opinion. A man of strong character, ability, integrity and honesty, man whom no honest man or honest business can fear. A man, who if at the head of the State Government would insure a feeling of security to all classes and bring forth an era of prosperity unprecedented. We refer to Attorney General Wiley E. Jones and hope he can be induced to enter the race for Governor at the coming election, as we feel sure that MT. Jones can win if he allows his name to be placed on the ticket, and that he will pull the rest of the ticket through the stormy campaign that is ahead of us. How about it people of Ariz- ona? How about MT. Jones? A crisis always develops leader and you have demonstrated that you are the man to carry the deno- cratic banner to victory in the com ing election.

Minstrel Show Pleased

The Busby's Worlds Greatest Minstrel Snow Wednesday eve ming has shown the distinction of being the only one to exhibit here for some time without lot of fault finding critics picking it's attractions to pieces afterward.
 A negro minstrel show is in 8 class by itself; and a good one never fails to please an audience where laughter and amusement are sought.
 The negro has an ear for music; it is natural with him; and he has his way of rendering it. It is not classical, but it is better-more pleasing.
 The minstrels gave a good en-, tertainment-one we'll worth the price, and the audience got its satisfaction of negro melody and laughter. .-Hazelton Herald.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING

At the meeting of the Town Council, last Tuesday night, there were present, members, Watson, Miller, and Robinson. MT. Rob- inson was chosen acting mayor for the evening.
 Bills were approved for the con- struction of three new concrete bridges on the east side of 3rd street.
 Marshal Bobby Burns report showed the collection of over one hundred dollars for dog licenses. This is nearly twice as much as: ever collected in one year before-
 The salary of the Marshal was fixed at $1O0 a month. City attorney Gold was instructed to take up with the proper rail- road officials the improvement of crossing across the tracks, north. It is the intention of the council to straighten the road north of this crossing, running it straight over to- the Scott addition and cinder cap ping it.
 Member Watson brought up the question of town aid for the library building, stating that some were asking for an appropriation by the town to help in the construction of a library building. After a dis cussion of the matter the council decided tha this assistance could not be given them, in the first place be- cause the state law prohibits a town the size of Williams from tax ing itself either for the construction of library building or for its sup port, and in the second place, be- cause the town itself is most in need of town hall.

Prescott, Arizona. Those who were fortunate enough to attend the literary recital, at the West Prescott M. E. church last Mon day evening, given by Mrs. Gradine Gammage, felt them selves not only highly entertained but received an inspiration for better things as well.
 The entertainment was divided into two parts. The first consist ed of the opening and closing scenes of the Passion Play.
 Mrs. Gammage gave to this a wealth of expression and inter- pretation. The secret to the successful rendition of this in- tensely heavy drama, was not only due to seven long years of the study of the art of expression but also to the inspiration which came to Mrs. Gammage, when in the year 1910 she witnessed the Passion Play itself at Oberamm- aragau, Germany, and was privi- legged to converse with some of it's leading characters.
 The second part was a con den- sation of Bulwer-Lytton's Harold the Last of the Saxon Kings. '" Clearness, force, beauty and intense pathos characterized the whole of this remarkable rendition
 While Mrs. Gammage has mastered all the details of high elocution, having graduated in this department in Blue Mt. College, also taking a postgradu- ate course in Columbia University IS well as doing some work lbroad, yet she is absolutely free ,f that mechanical stiffness which :haracterize so many overtrained 'eaders. All of her interpreta- ions are true to life, which lend inspiration to all " ho may chance o hear her.

 Ex-Member of the Board of Supervisors, Harlowe Yaeger, is spending several days in town this week from his sheep range on the Anderson Mesa.
 A Mexican lady, name not known to the writer, is languish- ing in the Flagstaff jail for viola ting the Edmunds act. The ''Hombre" in the case has not as yet been apprehended.
 Member of the Board of Super visors Chas. T. Woolfolk. return ed Saturday from a ten days visit to eastern States and to lis old home in Alabama.
 William Hickles left yesterday with a crew of men for the l.. E. Hart ranch, about thirty miles south of here, for the purpose of building a drift fence. The cattle men, in connection with the Forest Supervisors office, will jointly build the fence, and it is thought, when the fence is com pleted. that it will greatly facili- tate the handling of cattle at rodeo time as well as prevent them from straying and becoming lost when snow flies, thereby damaging the cattlemen seriously.
 The Fourth of July passed off quietly here, there being no celebration. A great many of the townspeople participated in pie nics at various points, the most favored of them seeming to be Mary's Lake. The F. L. M. Lumber Co. donated a locomotive and flat cars and took all who cared to go to that popular resort free of charge. About three hundred availed themselves of this opportunity, and, together with those who had gone by automobiles, horses and carriages made a goodly assembly. The day was passed in boating, fishing and dancing and all seemed to have had an enjoyable time.
 Quite an enjoyable time was had Monday forenoon on the street south of the court house grounds. A number of the citi- zens had collected money and formed purses for juvenile sports such as running, jumping, potato races, egg and sack races, etc. and the fun waxed fast and furious for two or three hours. Monday afternoon occurred a ball game between the Normal and Milton hines. It was some ball game. A large crowd was in attendance at the driving park for the occasion and the game was called promptly at 2:3O D. m. It was closely contested game from start to finish as shown by the score, g to 12 in favor of the Normal lads. The game was called off at the end of the sixth inning by Umpire Fred Lynch, as he intimated that if they play ed the full nine innings the audience might experience some difficulty, owing to darkness, in getting home: Strikeouts were tabooed. One pitcher passed four men to bases on balls in one inn ing and the opposing pitcher, not to be outdone, hit two men with the ball in the same inning. Of course there was lot of real estate flying in the air and they
 just couldn't play good ball" was the generous verdict of the good natured fans.
