(Omcial Bulletin)

The War Department has authorized the following statement:
 Ever since the United States en- tered the present war it has been the policy of the War Department to bring it's executive personnel as much as pos sible into contact with the sort of people who come to Washington with original ideas. This receptive attitude has been very aptly nicknamed the open mind policy, and altho it gets the bureau heads and executive off cers in for great deal of extra work, anybody who carries with him the seed of a useful idea is welcomed and his plan given the most thoughtful consid- eration. In word, the War Depart ment wants to make use of the brains of the American people and is willing to comb out a great mass of fanciful schemes, knowing as they do that the thousand-and-frst idea submitted to them might ntain the germ of radi- Cdl OF ti4.--L III Jul illCtiiOQ Ol Oul rying out our end of the world con- flict.
 Patience is Necessary.
 gro maintain the 'open-mind' policy requires a great deal of patience and iorbearance on the part of officers who, ordinarily, would be too busy to listen to elaborate amateur plans for ending the war. Many of the prOpo- sitions have nothing to recommend them but the charm of ingenuity and romance. It has been said that the late Jules Verne thought of more mill tary innovations than Zeppelin or Edi- son ever dreamed of. But the record for dreaming is held by several of the applicants who, ill the past few weeks have come with vast projects to help the Government in it's present crisis.
 "Fcr instance, one enterprising young man has brilliant plan to make the record number of recruits n the shortest possible time. He has applied for permission to walk the streets clad in patent suit of clothes

 WELL PATRONIZED
New Theatre Attracts Good Crowds of Entertainment Seekers

The Williams Opera House Theatre is proving a very sue cessful venture in film presen- tation, made so by the generous patronage of a host of pleasure seekers. The faulty wiring which caused a little trouble at the start has been remedied and everything is now working very smoothly. A new reostat has been installed and the ma chimes are in perfect order and the pictures are we'll defined The pictures shown are high class and of a character to ap- peal to every lover of movie action. The management of the new theatre will only show Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sun days the remainder of the month. The weekly Saturday night dance will be given, one night for Americans and the al- ternate night for Mexicans.

Virginian In Town

Last week Wednesday Henry St. George Tucker of Lexing- ton, Va, was in town having come in on No. 22. MT. Tucker was on his way home from Cal ifornia and intended to go up to the Canyon on No. IA, but No. 22 was late and he was obliged to wait for No. 12 Thursday morning.
 MT. Tucker is an ex-congress- man having served his district in Virginia from 1893 to 1901. He is, of course, a democrat and a warm supporter Of pres ident Wilson. Arizona appeals to MT. Tucker as quite a re- markable state in climate, topo- graphy and civil institu' ions. He is acquainted with Senator Mark P. Smith and also with our post master, l.. s. Williams.

AN EVENING BLAZE
 0N HANCOCK STREET
Martin Buggeln Barn Destroy ed with Contents of Hay and Machinery-Cause of Fire is Unknown

At little past five last eve ming the people of Williams were startled by the shrill note of the fire alarm and they rush. ed into the street to learn the cause. A dense column of black smoke was seen rising in the south part of town and the first guess of many was that the public school building was burning but it became evident to those who approached the fire that it was beyond the school house and a nearer ap- proach discovered Martin Bug geln's long barn at the back of his lots on Hancock street to be on fire.
 The fire department was soon on the spot and by their strenuous efforts the fire was held in check and finally sub- dued but not until the barn had been practically de- stroyed and it's contents of some Is to 20 tons of alfalfa hay and two brand new farm wagons belonging to Johnson 6 McConkey rendered of little value. The assembled crowd of interested spectators gave good deal of help in holding the fire by tearing down fenc- ing and portions of the barn which were on fire. This morn ing the ruins were still smoking and in need of attention, but all danger to other buildings was past. Fortunately the barn was quite isolated, else there would have been a destructive fire, for a brisk breeze was blowing from the southwest. The roof of the building was metal and the wind was unable to carry brands to the not very distant buildings to the lee ward.
 This fire and others on ele- vated ground prove that the fire pressure of the water works is not what it should be. Altho the Buggeln barn was not tall, water could not have i been thrown over it.

To Get Together on Signs

Forest Supervisor Greene has been Iconferring this week with the officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California relative to getting together on the placing of road signs in the Tusayan National Forest. MT. Greene proposes that standard forest signs be used along the Old Trails route, but suggests that the symbol of the Club be placed at the top of the pole above each sign to aid tourists who are following the Clubs signs. The officials of the Club are desirous of cooperating with the Forest Service and it is probable that the plan pro- posed by MT. Greene will be adopted.

Representative Cureton Home

Representative T. H. Cureton returned home from Phoenix Saturday on No. 8. He reports enjoying the session of the leg islature very much. He was we'll treated, being assigned to good committees and he enjoy ed as many privileges as any member. He and Senator Campbell were able to do a good deal for Coconino County. They got a larger appropria- tion for the State Normal at Flagstaff than any other state school got. They also secured full maintenance for the school the first time that it has been accomplished.
 Rep. Cureton avoided rank partisanship and he and Sena- tor Campbell worked in perfect harmony, each helping the other in his own legislative hall. The result was perfect team work and big results.

LEADERS TRYING TO
 SOLIDIFY PROCRESSIVES

The News is in receipt of a communication from Frederick Price Comfort of Flagstaff call ing attention to the Convention of the National Progressive Party which is to be held in St. Louis April 12, 13, and 14, and asks that the News give the matter mention. The News is very glad to comply with MT. Comforts request and does so sympathetically. Not that the News is party Progressive, but that the News yields to no one in it's progressiveness and it is glad to see progressive sen timent strengthened by any fair means.
 The Progressive party was betrayed by it's leaders last year and thru this betrayal it got an almost fatal backset. The attempt to elect MT. Hugh es with Progressive votes fail ed for the reason that MT. Will son was recognized as more truly progressive than MT. Hughes and he drew a great many progressives to himself. The working progressives are to-day in the Democratic party and MT. Wilson is their leader.
 A new political alignment is logical for the reason that both old parties have discordant ele- ments which are held together by the power of spells. Such a union can not endure. Out of the present political unrest new parties must appear, how soon can not be predicted. The new party must be a democra- tic party for only democracy is in line With progress.
 At the present time the News sees no course open to it but to follow the leadership of Wood row Wilson, the greatest demo- crat since Lincoln. The News believes that when dross shall have been separated from pure metal, reactionaries from pro- gressives in all parties, Wood row Wilson will be found a leader of the new democracy, emancipated from the malign influences of the bourbons of tic party for only democracy is and Republican parties.

Grand Canyon School Closed

On account of a measles scare, the school at the Grand Canyon is closed. Terry Hav- ems, son of MT. and MT. Wm. Ravens, was taken ill with the measles last Friday and it was decided by the board of trus- tees that it would be safer to close the school for a week, fumigate it, and by that time any case that was going to de- velop would be evident. No other case has developed so lar.

WINS, ], \. MEETING PROVES
 GREAT GET-TOGETHER SUCCESS
ATTENDANCE LARGEST ON RECORD ENTHUSIASM UNBOUNDED- SUMMER WORK DEFINITELY LAID OUT-COMMITTEES ON, CONSTRUCTION, ROAD & PUBLICITY PROVIDED FOR-TEE GET TO CIPHER SPIRIT STRONGLY MANIFESTED

With largest attendance yet on record the Williams Devel- -epment Association was called to order at the Forestry Office, last Tuesday night, by Presl- dent Greene. Il After hearing the minutes of the previous meeting, the Con- mittee on Cleanup was asked to report. Chairman Nordyke reported that due to the unfav- orable weather no definite ac- ton had been taken by the committee, but that they plan ned to cooperate with the town council in a determined effort to make Williams a clean town, as soon as the weather would put the roads in condl- ton for heavy hauling.
 Councilman Kirkpatrick, street supervisor, stated that the town team would be ready to begin the hauling away of tin cans and like rubbish, as soon as the roads will permit He also stated that he as super visor would be pleased to have the cooperation and assistance of the committee in making this years cleanup complete, and in keeping the town clan.
 Edwin Johnson, speaking for the Membership Committee stated that fifteen additional members had been secured since the last report, making a total paid-up membership of sixty-fve. Two new members were added to the list during the meeting bringing the total to sixty-seven and many more have indicated their intention of joining the organization.
 The question of raising the Coleman Lake dam was next taken under discussion. Nick Perkins was present and his views on the subject were ask ed. MT. Perkins stated that he considered the present dam in about the right location, and that the work of raising it six or more feet ought to run well under $1,OOO counting in the teams and all. The teams be- ing donated, this would bring . the cost down to a few hundred dollars. It. would only be nec- essary for the organization to raise funds enough to feed the 'men and teams, pay for the transportation of supplies to the lake, and possibly for the hiring of a few teamsters. He said the remarkably small cost of the dam would be due main ly to the nature of the soil making the grading easy, and the short length of the dam. He estimated the length of tEe dam at not over two hundred and seventy-fve feet when brot to a level six feet higher.
 The question was raised as to whether MT. Henderson would be favorable to the pro. position. MT. Wm. Hughes vo. lunteered information on this point. He stated that he had talked with MT. Henderson only a few days before at Con gress and that MT. Henderson stated that he would have nc objection at all to the dam be -ing raised two feet or so, but that he would have to look in to the matter to see how much of his land would be flooded

before he would consent to it's being raised six feet. It was the sense of the meeting that survey of the lake should be made as soon as possible in order to determine just how far over MT. Henderson's land the proposed dam would back the water. With this determin- ed, MT. Henderson should be consulted and reparation of fered if MT. Henderson consid- cred that his holdings would be seriously injured by the backed water.
 The question of securing teams was raised and it was found that sufficient teams would be available without cost to the organization. This brings the proposed construction easi- ly within the capabilities of the organization and the only things upon which the venture now need wait, are: a permit from the Forestry Service, a concession from MT. Tender son, and continued good wealth CT to put the ground in shape.
 The following committee was appointed to have charge of the construction of the dam: M. N. Perkins, Chairman, K. Hughes and Chas. Wade, mem bers.
 The proposed road south was next taken under discussion. MT. Perkins being best ac- quainted with the country south, was again called upon for information. He stated that the old government road which comes out above Cedar Glade could be put in shape for a reasonable amount and that it could be made passable at a very small expense. Informa- tion was also volunteered that Supervisor Woolfolk had stat ed that it might be possible to get the county engineer into the field to determine the feasibil- ity of such a road during the present summer.
 The following Road Commit tee was appointed to consult with the County Supervisors and aid in other ways in the development of good roads for Williams and vicinity, but to work especially on the Cole man Lake Road:
 
 w. M. Hughes, Chairman, and P. A. Melick, G. B. Kirk patrick, Earle Poison and B. F. Sweetwood, members.
 A letter from George Whar- ton James, author of Calf ornia, Romantic and Beautiful ''In and Around the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in Arizona, and many other books on the great west, was placed before the organization. MT. James offers to give a lec- ture on the Supai Indians and the Supai Village, if the organ ization vii pay his expenses, from the Canyon to Williams and return. The executive committee was empowered to deal with the matter and ar l range for the lecture if MT. James can be secured on a = favorable night.
