Candidates for election have been
| too busy keeping indoors to do much
| passing of the glad hand, or bad cigars
! but as November approaches, evil
| dences of these political favors are
more in evidence, especially as it is
now, with the decline of influenza,
permissible to shake hands.
Judge Perkins was a Williams Wis.,
| itor Tuesday No doubt the judge was
over from Flagstaff in the interests Of
his candidacy for reelection, and
doubtless he feels tolerably certain Of
his election--or is it perennial smile
that he always wears.

county supervisor, is busy man these
days He is helping the county super

election. He visited Grand Canyon
Saturday and Sunday looking after the
sick, but not a word of electioneering.

The influenza epidemic is on the
wane in this vicinity. Under the able
and intelligent supervision of federal,
state and county officers, assisted by
local help. the death rate has been
small. The high school building was
converted into an emergency hospital
and made excellent provisions for any
number of patients. Too great credit
cannot be given the williams staff of
lady school teachers for their self
sacrificing efforts to assist. Many
others deserve especial mention, but
the teachers particularly deserve
praise. Williams had over five hundred
cases, and twenty deaths.
over thirty cases of influenza were
reported from the Red Lake district,
nearly all of whom are said to be con-
valescent. Mrs. Mnrphy, the Red
Lake school teacher deserves great
praise for her almost unaided efforts
in caring for these cases. Doctorl
Rounseville made many trips, and so
far has not lost case.
The ban was lifted on barber shops,
and to the delight of patrons 1t has
been possible to secure the customary
