OUEST|ONA|RES SHOW
 ALL IDEAL HUSBANDS

For the past two or three weeks the attorneys of the To- cal questionaire board, have been working very assiduously to complete the list, using not only many hours of daylight but meeting every evening in the office of Atty. F. M. Gold to burn midnight oil (juice) in order to further this work.
 Attorneys T. H. Cureton, J. M. Holub and X. N. Sleeves have been lending their assist ance, locally, to the permanent Legal Advisory Board. Atty. F. M. Gold is a member of the permanent board.
 While the exact number of papers filled in and sent to headquarters is not known, it mounts into hundreds. Many of these are Greeks and MeXi- cans. The board has come to the conclusion that Williams has more than the average town can boast, in men loyal to their family obligations, as ev- cry married man questioned was supporting his wife to the full extent of his ability, many of them stating that their pay checks were given totheir wives untouched. Those who had no wives or families invariably had infirm or aged dependents who required support.
 One remarkable feature the work disclosed was that every Greek man married or single, canned no exemption on the grounds that he was alien and not a citizen of the United States. The opposite stand was taken by Mexican men, r.ooC or them claiming exemp- tion as aliens. However, all anKe showed a commendable desire to support their families.
 Questiona1res are still being answered locally, tho the first heavy rush of work has passed.
 A few draft deliquents in Williams are reported. These men had not sent their queston- naires to Flagstaff by Wednes- day;
 Pedro Garcia, Lee Guy, Cos mo Drozco, Guadalupe Bernen- deg, Clinton James Morrison, Placido Marquez, Joachim Can chola and Louis Blattei.

SCHOOL NOTES

Friday morning, we had the last of our James Whitcomb Ri. ley programs. Althea Simmons recited Little Orphant Annie one of Riley's best known po- ems. After this, Miss Bush read us another poem, entitled, "Old Glory"
 Last Thursday morning, the old furnace refused to work, and the school building got so cold that the children were dis missed about ten o'clock. There was school in the afternoon, however, as the building was warmer, then.
 Hollis Patterson was absent Friday on account of a sore throat.
 Miss Watson was not able to be at school Friday on account of sickness.
 Our junior Red Cross work is we'll under way by now. We held our second meeting Thurs day afternoon from four to five. The girls have agreed to devote one of their regular sew ing periods to the making of ba- by outfits, beside the hour on Thursday.
 The new furnace was install fed in the new furnace room Monday and Tuesday. The heat is certainly much better now than it has been since the addition at the back of the building was made. We can have good ventilation now, and not feel cold. The new furnace is certainly an improvement ov- CT the old one.
 Our semester examinations were to come Thursday and Friday of this week, but on ac- count of the vacation Monday and Tuesday, they are postpon- ed until next Monday and Tues day. We will spend the re- mainder of this week preparing for them.

BOX CAR PLAYS THE
 PART OF WAR TANK

While a helper engine was shifting freight cars in the $. F. yards at one o'clock Saturday, one of the string jumped the track and smashed into Bab- bitt's Warehouse. '
 With a crash the car caught the caves on the east end of the warehouse and ripped a strip four feet deep from the build ing for a car length. The en- gineer hastily applied the brak- es and uncoupled the derailed car beforemore than half the building had been harmed.
 The corner of the building which was crushed happened to contain a bin of coal, over which was a shelf loaded with tubs, the latter adding mater ially to the noise of the acci- dent.
 After the freight car had been removed from the wreck age, the corner of the ware house collapsed making it ne- essay to remove everything stored in that part of the build ing. Repairs were started dur ing that afternoon.
 It is estimated that the finan- cial loss may be in the neigh Dor hood of one thousand dollars.

FUEL TRANSPORTATION
 THE MAIN PROBLEM

Phoenix, Ariz. Jan. 17-Coal concerns the southwest less than the chilly East, for here fuel oil largely replaces coal. Still what concerns the east con cerns us as well, especially in this time of national peril. The State Council is in receipt of interesting figures showing that the United States produced in 1917 something like 675, 5,OOO,- 900 tons of coal, a ten per cent gain over 1916, and a 25 per cent gain over 1915, indicating that the coal shortage is prob lem of transportation.
 There is always plenty of coal-4OO times as much of it under these United States right now as we and our ancestors have dug out in the last zoo years.
 And there are coal mines enough-7,0O0 mines and 7OO,- 900 miners. Even in the unpre- cedented year of 1916, the pro- ductive capacity of the mines was 100 million tons above the actual production. In 1915, a good year, the $500 soft coal mines of the country worked only 2O3 full days instead of 300, and produced two-thirds as much coal as they might have produced.
 The difficulty is to get the coal to the right place. The so- lution of this difficulty is what the consumer is principally paying for when he buys his ~ winter coal. Half of his coal bill goes for railroad transpor- tation and for hauling through city streets.
 1t is the moving of coal, not the mining of: it, that gives the big new Fuel Administration offices most of their work to do
 That the Fuel administration is coping with the problem sue. cessfully is shown by these facts: That the navy and the transports have been getting all of the coal they need, and o1 the best quality. that the can comments and munition factor. ies are kept we'll supplied, and that the railroads in this time ot the worlds great need are car. rying much the greatest traffic of their history.

INSTALLING OF ENGINE
 NEARING COMPLETION
Engine Set-Storage Tank Be- ing Placed-Cement Floor Nearly Complete-Generat or Expected As Soon As Needed

Work at the Municipal Light Plant is progressing rapidly. Manager Luther Stover stated, when interviewed today, that he expects to see the plant in operation about the first of Feb ruary, barring accidents and unlocked for complications. Once in operation, the plant promises to be both efficient and economical.
 The big 200 Horse Doak en- zine has been placed over the cement base and is ready for operation except for a few min or details. An examination of the engine has shown that it is as good as new for every pur- pose. In fact, the original bab- bitt bushings are still on the en- zine and have had so little wear that the original tool markings are still discernable. The en- zine will be started by com pressed air which will be SUD- piled by small gas engine and pump, and stored in a tank ready for use whenever needed. As fuel, the engine will use special fuel oil which is much cheaper than gasoline. The engine is rated as 200 horse power at sea level which should give it about 165 horse power at this high elevation, accord ing to MT. Stover's estimate. Withal, it is a very fine piece of machinery and will certain ly prove a good investment.
 Today, MT. Matz and help CTS have been busy moving the huge 12,OOO gallon storage oil tank into place at the north end of the engine house. With this storage capacity, it will be pos sible to purchase fuel by the car load and so effect a great saving in fuel expense. Once full, the tank should hold a suf- ficient supply to run the plant for from four to six months.
 Work in placing the machin- cry within the engine room has been delayed somewhat the last few days, because the ce- ment floor was incomplete due to delay in receiving some of the necessary materials on time. However, it is expected that the floor will be completed tomorrow, and the other work will progress rapidly after that.
 The generator has not yet arrived, but it has been en route since December and MT. Slower states. that he is confident that it will arrive as soon as they are ready to use it.
 In every way the plant promises to be an excellent one and when complete will reflect great credit upon the council and will stand as monument to the efficiency of Manager Stover. who purchased the plant for the city, and has over seen it's installation turnout.

NEW PLANT HEATS
 SCHOOL IN 2 HOURS

Just Complete Contains Fur
 mace Room, Coal Room and
 Office for Janitor-Future
 Needs Provided For
 The new heating plant at the Williams public school was put in operation for the first time on
 Wednesday morning. It prov ed an unqualified success and again permitted the holding of classes which had been dismis- sed since Friday because of in- adequate heat.
 The new plant set a new rec ord by heating the entire build ing in two hours, as compared to the two days required by the old plant. This occurred when the furnace was fired at two a. m. Wednesday, when the ther- mometers in the school house registered but 30 above. At 4 a. m. 68 degrees had been reached. An average of be- tween 68 and 72 is the modern school temperature, according to Prof. Bullock, who was inter viewed Wednesday morning.
 The new plant is located in the west yard of the school grounds, and is housed in a concrete building about 2S 3S feet. Both the erection of the building and the installation of the heating plant were per formed by the Baumann-Hinds Construction Company. This building contains not only the furnace, boiler and coal rooms. the latter of four car capacity, but when finished will have a comfortable room for the jani- tor as we'll. MT. Barnes is de lighted with the modern ap- pliances on the furnace, one of which is the small siren on the steam gauge, that will sound a warning when the water is get ting low, whereas in the past it was necessary to watch the gauge closely.
 The huge boiler was secured from the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company and is in ex- cellent condition, as it was found too small for the mill and had not been used. 1t is of the tubular type and has heating radiation of 750O square feet, while the radiation of the form CT furnace was 3675 to 5000 feet. This gives the new plant a capacity in excess of present needs, and that will prove ann pie in case an additional room is sometime added to the pres ent building.
 It is stated that there will be a conservation of coal with the present furnace, not only be- cause less fuel will be required for the same results in heating, but because it will not be neces- sary to keep the fire burning continuously.
