THE NEW WILLIAMS
BY MRS. A. SINE Continued from Feb, 1O)

On the North side of the railroad tracks, the United States govern ment have established a school for military training and in connection herewith an aeroplane manufac- tory. This was deemed advisable because the location of Williams is ideal for the concealment of opera tions, enemies of the country being unable to spy upon the plans of the government. Adjacent to this mill itary reservation is fine riding and driving pork in which are hand some pavilions for county fair pur- poses. Coconino county ka1 tean divided in 1917 and Williams had become the county seat. The fair is eminently successful, principally by reason of the immense herds of cattle, bands of sheep, splendid breed of horses and other livestock upon the ranges in close proximity to the city.
 The county officers for the first term of the new county may be found in the Williams Daily Chron- icle of November the 10th, 1917. This paper is a worthy successor of the Weekly News, and numbers among It's editors those of the old News staff.

A mile further and they learned something of the work of the Forest Ranger. A mile and a half to the Northwest and Ele- phant park was in view. How? When? By what wonderful ero- sion were these monuments shaped2 How was a large boulder of lava firmly balanced on a pedestal of an entirely different formation?

were taken on board the tug Bohemia,
which brought them to Norfolk late
Tuesday night.
The Tangier, coal-laden. was bound
from Norfolk to Baltimore with other
barges in tow of the tug Bohemia.
The tug and tow left port late Mon
day night or early Tuesday morning
and ran into the northeast blow which
swept the Chesapeake Bay and local
waters Tuesday morning.
AS 1t was rather rough In tho bay
and the barges had a hard time wealth
ering the blow. the tug decided to take
them into York River for harbor to
await break in the weather. The
Tangier started leaking, and a. the
water kept gaining. Captain Bunkley
and his family and deckhand took the
barge's boat, after signaling to the
Bohemia. The people are said to have
saved all their personal effects and
were in the boat but q short time
when the tug came up and took them
on board.
