"Thc real problem facing the gov

ing of constitutional order which gives
the bandits greater advantage than are
possessed by the troops pursuing them.
Consequently ! recommend to congress

WILL USE WESTERN TIMBER

Announcement that the Southern Pacific Company has adopted the plan of building all it's wooden freight cars, such as box and flat cars, at it's own shops and will make them from lumber produced along it's lines, was made known by President William Sproule, who returned from New York and other Eastern cities.
 "The plan" said MT. Sproule, "is in furtherance of our policy to favor home industry and will provide a good market for a great deal of western timber. The construction will be done principally at the Sacramento shops. So our local payrolls and those of the mills supply ing us will be increased. We plan to build as soon as possi- ble 2,OOO box, 45O stock and 500 flat cars. These added to the 2,700 new refrigerator cars just ordered by the Pacific Fruit Company, of which about 1000 will be built in California, will give us 5650 new freight cars for the coming season. enough to ward off the hard ships through shortages of railroad equipment experience ed this season, provided we can get our cars returned to us after they are unloaded at des- tination. .-s( i-.sit-1. |

 MAN SPARE THAT TREE"

The Literary Department of the Woman's Club met Tues day afternoon, February 13, at the Parish House, to hold the regular monthly meeting and to discuss Spanish drama.
 The matter of appointing a new head for the Art Depart ment was disposed of by mo- tion to hold an election within the near future.
 The meeting adopted the fol- lowing resolution:
 WHEREAS: The question of the cutting down of the old pine trees on the public streets of our town has again been pre- .sented to- our town council, and
 WHEREAS: These trees are the monarchs of the forest which represent the growth of centuries, and
 WHEREAS: These trees add beauty to our little moun- tain town, and
 WHEREAS: The Woman's Club of Williams expressed it. self many years ago as favor ing the preservation of these trees, therefore be it
 RESOLVED: That those mem bers of the Woman's Club present at the regular meeting of the Literary Department, February 13, 1917, go on rec ord as endorsing previous act ion favoring the preservation of all sound pine trees in the public streets of Williams" < Following the business meet ing Mrs. Cureton read a short sketch of the life of Jose Eche- garay,- who, besides holding a distinctive place in the world of mathematical thot, is known as the most popular of Spanish dramatists. His great world play, "The Great Galeoto" was comprehensively reviewed by Mrs. Nordyke. This drama which has been played in America by Sarah Bernhardt, portrays a gripping theme that holds a perfect balance be- tween a comedy of gossip and a tragedy of slander.

Mexicans Threatened Venge-

The action of the Justice of the peace at Pan in turning loose on his own recognizance, Arthur Wilcoxson, section fore man, was not approved by the MeXicans who thot the matter had been dropped. They be- came considerably excited and threatened vengeance. Wilcox son left Pan to visit his father at Valle. The Pan Mexicans came to Williams with their story and found much sym pathy among the Mexicans of Williams. It looked as if Will coxson might be in some dang CT, if he returned to either Pan or Williams. Yavapai county authorities took a more serious view of the killing than that of Justice of the Peace and an of ficer was sent for Wilcoxson Saturday. He met his man in Williams and took him into custody, but fearing the Mex jeans, he turned his prisoner over to Marshal Burns, believ- ing he could protect him better Marshal Burns spirited his man away on the local freight with out being seen. He hid him at Ash Fork for twelve hours and then got a passenger train on the P Vine at 1::3O Sunday morning reached Prescott at A. 30 and turned his prisoner over to the Yavapai county sheriff s office at the county jail. Had the matter not been handled with skill, it is very probable that an attempt would have been made by the Mexicans to avenge their fallen comrade.
