 When the call came for f. nancial proof of the sincerity of the Williams chapter, and the chapter was asked to raise at least $1,5OO a Campaign Committee was appointed. Dr. c. D. Jeffries was elected as Chairman of this Committee and MT. L. s. Williams as Cam paign Manager. These gentle men and the Executive Board, which is composed of fifteen members including the ladies who organized the local chap ter and several prominent busi- ness men, arranged the plan for campaigning the town Red Cross week. Red Cross week was pfOcl2lmeu Dy freSluenC- Wilson.
 The town was divided into sections and Captains of these divisions were appointed by the Executive Board. MT. McDon- aid Robinson was captain of the first division, MT. F. M. Gold, Captain of the second, MT. I. P. McConkey of the 3rd, MT. Jerry Lee of the fourth and Mrs. A. Sine of the fifth.

Later, subscriptions were solicited personally by representatives of the Red Cross.

 ID OWN POWER PLANT
Appraisement of Corporation Practically Com PetedCouncil to Receive Report Saturday-Po Can Be Procured from Saginaw and Service Given for Less Cost While City Would Receive Revenue

Williams is now confronted by the opportunity to take a step that will mean much in the future development of the Town, by purchasing the Wa ter and Electric Company's s holdings and operating a mu- nicipal plant. Power can be secured from the Saginaw at g. figure that will make it possible for the municipal plant to SUD- ply electrical service at a lower rate than Williams has pre- viously enjoyed, while clearing a revenue on the service, for the town. The electrical serv- ice which Williams has been re- ceiving has been good, but even this could be :slproved upon by the new arrangement, at least in the amount of lighting done by the town fer the conven- fence of the public.
 The Corporation Commission will meet in Williams Saturday to render it's report on the ap- praised value of the Williams Water and Electric Company's holdings. At this meeting the Town WI present ten witness es to testify to the value of the real estate held by the con- pany and of it's water rights The Commission itself deter

Marshal Burns arrested two suspicious characters Saturday who were held for trial Mon- day morning. Close questioning by the City Attorney developed that neither of them had regis tered Jnue the Fifth. Amelio Perea claimed to be over 31 years of age and Miguel Saldi- yer said he was born in 1897. The reputation of Saldiver is somewhat tarnished, but that of Perea is unknown.
 Neither of the men having funds, nor visible means of SUD- port, and having expressed a wish to leave town for Gallup, Judge Sine gave them a sus- pended sentence on condition that they leave within ten hours, otherwise they must re- port to the Marshal.
 The Sheriffs office was noti- fled through Chief Deputy Wade so that investigation might be made more closely as to whether or not the men were ""slackers." O.

RECRUITS FROM SAN

A large number of recruits from San Diego passed through Williams, Friday, on No. 22. There were several members of the local Red Cross at the de- pot and the soldiers were evi- dently glad to see and talk with them. One little man about 15 years olG seemed to be keeping things interesting for his om- rades. When asked what he could do in war he replied he was as good as the best of them in most things. One of tEe old CT men replied that the boy was better than the best of them, especially at the mess ta- ble. The soldiers finally asked for surgical dressings for one of the men and this was pro- vided tho there was scarcely tine +o get these before the train left. ..l....-

mines only physical property. With the appraised value de- termined, the matter of pur- chase can then be taken up and and a definite proposition made the Company.
 The Council has found senti- ment over the town strongly in favor of a municipally own ed plant, and the Council itself favors municipal ownership. If the company does not see fit to accept the offer which the Town makes it, it is very prob able that the town will arrange with the mill for power, and in stall a plant of it's own.
 The result of the meeting Saturday will be watched with great interest.
 In the meantime arrange ments are under way to supply the town with electric service within the next ten days. Transformers have been order ed from Los Angeles and it will be but the work of a day or so to install them. The Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company has expressed it's willingness to supply the power and under these conditions it is anticipat- ed that night power and light may be supplied wihin the, next ten days at most.

The Red Cross chapter was started in Williams on May 19 and has proven to be we'll or ganized society able and ready to meet demands made of it.
 The organization was com pleted in May with the officers elected and committees ap- pointed. Mrs. E. B. Perrin was elected as chairman of the To- cal chapter. as the one most fitted for the place having been the first person here to work for the Red Cross. A year ago Mrs. Perrin organized a Sur gical Dressings Committee which worked for several months supplying surgical dressings for the Red Cross. Other officers elected at that time were Mrs. R. Wente Sec retary, MT. Jerry Lee, Treas urer. The Williams State Bank was appointed treasurer for the chapter during Red Cross Week, by the Government. The most active committee at first was the membership committee of which Mrs. J. Dye is chair man. This committee has se- cured over three hundred mem- bers to date. Many of these were secured on Registration Day when a large number of members worked to arouse in- terest in the Red Cross.

WORK PROCESSING
 AT COLEMAN LAKE

Work on the Coleman Lake dam is now under way. For three days this week, nine teams were worked and now H. Ritter is continuing the work with four teams. A sum of S265 has been subscribed to carry on the work, and it is expected that more will be ad- ded to this sum later. This will suffice to raise the dam enough to hold all the water that will collect there during the next two years.

 MT. Simmons will not go to Flagstaff on his bicycle for awhile, as his little Smith motor is running the linotype in the News office. The noise is quite cheerful and attracts many of the curious to the office where the proof of ingenuity calls forth quite a few compliments.

EXCITING ADVENTURES
 AT GRAND CANYON

A party of five men has just returned from the Grand Can yon where they spent month hunting excitement. There was no disappointment as the qual- ity of fun experienced as dame Nature did her best to enter tain her guests.
 In the party was MT. Fred Stone, the eminent New York actor, who spends all his vaca- tions in the wilds and, being up-to-date, takes a motion pie ure camera along to record his adventures, for the benefit of those less fortunate than lie, who have to stay civilized all of the time. MT. Stone, with his party dined at the Fra Mar . cos last Saturday, garbed in camp clothes and looked very much like a real westerner.
 MT. Rex Beach is a brother in-law of MT. Stone and was with the campers for two weeks.
 The hunters were rewarded with a lion apiece for their months work and plenty of smaller game was to be had for the shooting.
 The climax of the fun was reached when MT. Means of Williams, who accompanies MT. Stone annually, was climb ing the trail towards the rim.
 A large lion came around a curve cautiously looking for the stranger whose presence he seemed to have sensed.
 MT. Means signaled to the others of the party and waited for the lion to approach.
 When it was within four feet of him, MT. Stone arrived on the scene with a rope and lasso- ed the animal. There was a short scuffle but the lion final was secured alive.
 The distance to the rim was really about two miles tho the men imagined it much more as they carried the captured lion up the steep trail. The work was not repaid with hav- ing magnificent living king of the jungle to display as a tro- phy, for the animal expired about twenty minutes after reaching camp. There seemed no reason for death except fright.
 More excitement was tho irs when the party was transfer ring their horses from the south to the north rim cf the Canyon over the Bass Cable. The wilder animals were care fully tied down in the cable car and reached the other side in safety, but there was a gen. tie little pony that had never caused trouble in it's life, which was the last to be taken across. It was not tied down to the bot tom of the cage and as a result when the car was half way across the Canyon it jumped up over one side, was entan- gled in the cable and hung it. self. Just plain suicide said tthe witnesses.
 The party returned t. Will Hams Saturday night, June 16, very much satisfied with the sentire adventure.
 MT. Means expects to go out in September with about seven friends from Canada who wish to see life la, natural. They will explore the Grand Canyon and hunt on the north side. RECRJUTS FROM SAN

HOME GUARDS WIN
 THEIR FIRST BATTLE

In a benefit ball game Sun day, for the Red Cross the Will liams Home Guard defeated the Williams Browns by score of Il to 8. It is not to be infer red from the size of the score that the game was uninterest- ing.
 The Guards imagined they were bombing the Kaiser, and the way they slaughtered the enemy in the first part of the game would have caused he Kaiser to abdicate, as it did the slab artist who started the game for the Browns. In the sixth inning a semiprofessional pitcher from Flagstaff was substituted for the young Mex ican who essayed the initial half of the game, and from the time of his appearance until the end of the ninth, he had the guards reaching feminist them, befront of them, and watching .anxiously overhead for drop ping bombs, the result being that that the score was there after written o o DO
 The Home Guards started their half with a stemwinder who was mistaken by many for Slim Love. He did very we'll, but the manager, exercising his prerogative, yanked the willowy youth for an under sized young man, dressed in ex- pensive raiment, and intro duced by Larry Williams as, MT. O'Neil." Later he was addressed as "Tokio" and there is suspicion that the Home Guards called upon one of their Allies for assistance. No matter what the young mans name may be, he sure is some ball player. He has a swift delivery with consider able curve and his delivery can bestbe described by the remark of one of the opposing team, who was requested to Unit it", by the captain. 'Hit H-r he replied, "how can I hit it when l can't see it?"
 No doubt the strong sun was responsible for many of the flies dropped by the Guards, but in contrast to their loose fielding and base running, that of the Browns stands out con spicuously and most refutes the claim that the heat and sun glare was entirely responsible. However they did exceedingly we'll for the small amount of practice they had together.
 Scotty McDougalI and Ken meth Hughes were acceptable IS umpires and few of their de- clsions were questioned. Once 1t was noticed when the Guard
 atcher remarked "huh, queer strike that. Scotty smiled and said, "1 wasn't looking at the plate. 1 was looking where the batter stood."
 Mrs. Cy Young visited the game, for the second time in her life, and for the second time was injured by a foul ball going over the netting and striking her. On the occasion of her first visit she was also in- jured. If the grand stand is to be used for future games, it would be advisable to renew the netting near the top of the stand immediately behind the catcher.
 The Flagstaff band kindly rendered many acceptable pieces during the game and thelr courtesy was much appre- ciated. The net result for the Red Cross was an addition of $47.0O to their fund.
 The score by innings was: 1 2 8 789 Guards O4213 OOO Browns OOO2 II 400 Batteries. Walters, Hojo, Proc tor: Ed Torres, Caneja
