ILLNESS PROVES FATAL

It is with profound sorrow that the News announces this week the death of Allan Mont gomery whose serious illness was reported in these columns last week. When the News went to press last Thursday, reports came from the bedside of Allan that the outlook for recovery was encouraging tho the crisis had not been passed. There was improvement until the end of the week. On Sun day, however, his fever rose to an alarming height and he rap idly grew worse and died atsix o'clock Monday morning.
 His mind remained clear to the last, and about an hour before death came he called his father to his bedside and telling him that he could not stand it any longer. But a little while after his spirit was freed from the suffering body.
 The News experiences a sense of deep loss in the death of Allan Montgomery. He had been working in the News pressroom for about two years and had acquired a remarkable degree of efficiency. Always willing, and ready for any part assigned to him and anxious to learn, he had become an i'm portant part of the News staff. With exemplary habits and a clean healthy mind, Allan's presence was an inspiration. The News was proud of it's devil" and junior pressman and compositor.

Washington, 1 2a; iBone dry'' prohibition for both Alaska and Hawaii virtually was de- cided upon today by the house territories committee. The re- introduced Wickershaw bill to prohibit manufacture, sale, gift possession or transportation of liquors in Alaska was ordered reported favorably to the house. The Hawaiian bill then was taken up and the main fea- lures of the Alaskan bill were written into it after the com mittee had eliminated provis- ions that would make prohibi- tion dependent upon petitions of the Hawaiian people.

ALLEN ROBERT MONTGOMERY

Allen Robert Montgomery was born in Nickerson,' Pine county, Minnesota, August 15, 1902. He was brought to Will Hams by his parents in 1907, and here he lived until the time of his death, January 29, 1917; at the age of fourteen
 To the bereaved ones in the Montgomery home it seems as tho the Great Reaper has knocked and asked for the most precious treasure of the household. They feel as if the pillar of the household has been removed. And in this be- cause of the-wa the loving, earnest, faithful and trust worthy character of the third son of the family had worked into their hearts to cheer, to gladen and to strengthen.
 Allen Montgomery had not known corporal punishment of even the mildest kind,. either from parent or teachers from the time he emerged from babyhood and the light of un- derstanding began to dawn in his mind as child. This not because punishment would have been withheld had it been merited but because it was never merited. Only word of correction, Only a suggestion that a thing was wrong and the wrong was never repeated. Honesty, obedience, trustwor- thiness and a keen desire to help and to please his parents and those about him, seemed to spring up in this young char acter as by instinct. As his grieving father sadly stated, he could tell Allen that thing needed to be done, in the morn ing, and he need not give it an- other thot, for it would be done when he came home at night. He was his mothers pride and joy and help, not only quick to assist her in everything she might suggest but ever eager to find ways to help and to please. His brothers and sis

Within a few days MT. R. c. Wente has acquired by pur- chase, title to lots 1, 2, and 8, Block 3, Lot 1 and 2 having been purchased from Jeff Evans of San Pedro, Calif., and Lot 3 from Joseph Johnston of Phoenix, Arizona.
 MT. Wente has not returned yet from the east where he went several days ago to attend a meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Saginaw & Man istee Lumber Co.,, so that the News can not obtain from him information as to his plans for using his newly acquired prop erty~ That he intends to make early use of it is evidenced by the fact that the Railroad Ave. occupants of the property have vacated the buildings in which they were conducting business. Rumor has it that a modern hotel vii occupy a part of the ground and that a garage and auto sales establishment will also occupy part. Indeed it is affirmed that Williams men are even now on the coast mak- ing arrangements for material for buildings and machinery for the garage.

 The streets of Williams, run ming we'll up the mountainside, furnish splendid opportunities for skiing and old and young, both male and female, make occasion frequently to enjoy an hour or so on skis. Coasting is fine sport, but for bold spirits the ski fills a place in sport which the coaster cannot oc- cupy. The personal element is large in skiing. The successful descent is a personal victory, enjoyed in proportion to the hazard.
 From what has been said of skiing it should not be inferred that it is particularly a mascu- line sport. Indeed, Williams has skillful skiwomen as we'll as skimen. They attempt and accomplish the most difficult deScentS.

ALLEN MONTGOMERY AT REST
Business of Town Suspended Two Hours That All Might Attend Funeral Obsequies- Long Procession Followed Remains To Pine Clad Gem etery.

The general esteem in which the better human qualities are held and the general desire to honor such qualities on all fit ting occasions was made mani fest yesterday by the general observance of the funeral ob- sequies of Allen Montgomery.
 The business of the town was suspended for two hours that all might pay respect to him who had exemplified those qualities in large measure.
 At one o'clock many sympa- thizing friend had gathered at the Montgomery home and from then until the funeral pro- cession started for the church they continued to arrive and when the procession started, with the Boys Band in the lead, a large concourse of people fol- lowed in automobiles and on foot.
 The floral tributes were nu- merous and beautiful. The cas- ket was buried in a wealth of flowers, a floral blanket form ing a cover and on this were piled wreaths and other floral decorations in great profusion. Allan's classmates, each bear ing large bouquet, marched to the church with the band.
 The funeral services in the church were conducted by Rev. Summers, the M. E. pastor. The church rites with appropriate songs were impressive. After the assemblage had viewed for the last time the still face of the deceased the funeral cor tege was formed and the sol emn march to the cemetery was begun, the band boys lead ing, on foot. Every one who could get a seat in an automo- bile went to the cemetery. Many more would have gone except for the lack of convey ance.
 The last rites at the grave were simple, the band playing a stanza of Nearer, My God, To Thee" which was followed by the customary ritual for commitment of the body to the earth from which it came and then another stanza by the band of the same metrical strains. The casket containing all that was mortal of Allan Montgomery had been lowered into a grave dug beneath the pine trees of the I. O. O. F. cemetery and the funeral obse- quies were completed.

ED JOHNSON HOME
 NEARLY COMPLETED
The Last Word In Bungalow
 Construction, It Will Be Oc- cupied zIn About Two Weeks

<A0OaA ~o w CShS
 The home which Ed Johnson is building in Block 23 on 5th St., is nearing completion and MT. Johnson expects to move into it in about two weeks.
 MT. Johnson's house is the last word in bungalow construc- tion and is credit to it's design CT and to workmen whom Bau- mann 6 Hinds, the contractors, have assembled to execute the plans prepared.
 The house vii be entered by way of a commodious front porch which is unique in it's de- sign and large enough to pro- vide seating capacity for a con- siderable party. From the front porch is an entrance to the liv- ing room which is lighted by seven full windows. At, the north end of the living room is the fire place the stack for which is entirely without the walls of the house.
 A large door leads from the living room into a hallway which gives room for a stair way leading to the attic. Doors also open from the hallway into the dining room, bathroom two bedrooms and the kitchen. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the south side of the hall and the kitchen on the north side.
 A door opens from the living room into the dining room and then west of the dining room and north of the kitchen is the breakfast room; west of the kitchen is a back porch from which opens a door into the basement.
 In the attic are two large and we'll lighted bedrooms. The ceilings below are 812 feet in the clear and the chamber ceilings are 8 feet in the clear. Closets, so dear to the house wife, are everywhere, and very roomy.
 MT. Johnson has his kitchen and bathroom plastered and the walls checked. All other walls will be papered on mus lin in the conventional way.
 The Johnson bungalow will be exceedingly we'll lighted, an unusal number of windows being placed in the outside walls. Heat will be supplied by a combination furnace plac- ed in the basement. The sew age of the house from both bath and kitchen, will be piped to a cesspool on MT. Johnson's own premises.
 Taken all in all the Ed John son bungalow is a model of con- venience and provides all of the comforts of a modern home. It is ornamented suffi- ciently to please the eye, but es- capes being bizarre by carry ing ornamentation to a vulgar extreme.

SKIING POPULAR WINTER
 SPORT IN WILLIAMS
Pleasure Participated in By
 Old and Young-Conditions For Enjoyment Ideal - -

At this season of the year, with the country covered with two feet or more of snow, the thots of those in Williams who are fond of outdoor sport turn to skiing. The snow covers most of the boulders and brush which make walking difficult at other seasons of the year, and provides a smooth surface on hill and mountainside and offers ideal conditions for the ideal sport.
 The colored mans recipe for for rabbit stew required that "fust yo git de rabbit" So in skiing the first requirement is that you get the skis. In Will Hams the ski is so we'll known that a description is not needed for local readers, but for the benefit of out-of-town readers many of whom may know noth- ing about the sport, it seems quite proper to tell something about the rabbit
 Skis are made of wood and may be and are made of sever al different kinds of wood. Oak, hickory and ash are popu- lar wood for ski making. For children, softer woods are ire quently used and pine is used as much as any other soft wood.
 Thin strips of wood ranging from 6 to 8 feet in length and having width of 4 inches and a thickness of A. to A of an inch, varying from thin to thick in different parts of the ski, are turned into a beautiful curve at the thin end.
 The foot rests on the ski a little back of the center and the toe of the shoe is slipped into loop. The experienced skier will have his ski strapped firm ly to his foot, but he who is just learning will prefer to have his foot loose so that it can be cas- fly freed from the ski. He will save himself from many a fall by so doing.
 A pole called the ski pole is used with skis. The pole has a disk near one end to keep it from penetrating the snow very far. The pole serves an excel lent purpose in helping the skier to maintain his balance; it varies in length and may be anywhere from 41A feet to 8 feet; the usual length is about 5 feet but some skiers prefer a long pole.
 7 While the ski is very useful as a means of travel over a snow clad plain, it is not prac- tical to climb steep declivities with it and the sportsman will carry his skis up hill and glide down on them.
 In walking with skies the foot is lifted very little, if at all. The foot is pushed forward and locomotion is very easy.
 It requires some little time to acquire expert use of skis. One must learn to so balance the body that the skis may be guild ed with little use of the ankle. By swinging the body right or left guidance is given to the skis without conscious effort on the part of the skiman.
 Skiing is an eXhilerating sport; the skiman experience es pleasurable thrills as he cuts the air in the decent of the long hill. . His skill is put to the test in passing safely over an undu- lating surface. A mishap bur ies him wellnigh, if not really,

CAMP NEAR CAPITAL CITY.
Columbia Selected for One of New
Army'S CantOnment>.

Washington, May 19.-COlumb bia,
displaying the pluck that has ever
characterized her efforts, has again
scored a victory. Today the States
correspondent is able for the first
time to say positively that before the
end of the next sixty days Columbia
will have grown to the neighborhood
of 10000 or 10000 souls. $4,000 be-
ing added by the men who are to go
into the big army camp soon to be
located there.
While yesterday it seemed certain
that Columbia had won her long fight
and would be named as one of the
cities for the big camps to be located.
it was necessary. because so many
previous statements have been er-
roneous, to get further information
before making the matter public.
Today at the war department Maj.
Dougles Macarthur, backed by other
officials, said: Yes, Columbia has
been selected for the site of one of
the camps, but details concerning
how many men are to go there. just
when they will be sent and how long
they will remain there must come
from Gen. Wood at Charleston
What the addition of $4,000 men
to the population of Columbia means
to the commercial life of that city
cannot be expressed on paper, except
to say that every form of business in
Columbia and surrounding territory
will feel the effects.
