CANTEEN SERVICE
 VERY SUCCESSFUL

The local canteen service of the Red Cross is doing very successful work, work which is greatly appreciated by the sol diers passing thru on troop trains. The object of this de- partment of Red Cross work is not the providing of food to the men, as at first thought, but is the giving of pleasures in the way of extras, and providing the "home touch" so often miss ed by the men away from home
 The Williams chapter can teen service is under the direc- ton of Mrs. w. M Hughes, who with a corps of assistants meets every troop train passing thru here. The service has become so interesting that many. of the residents of the community are present to meet each train and help give the soldiers pleasant memories of Williams.
 The extent of the good which IIdS OSOII oOI1C III C1llS Il11O IS shown by the report of Mrs. w. Hughes, for the two weeks of March, 18th to 18th, inclusive, during which time 2,1OO men were cared for, this number arriving on various dates, at from 16 to 45O men at time.
 The customary service in- cludes apples, tobacco Casually cigarettes), candy and maga- zines. For the work last month the canteen service used $69, from it's own fund, and about $8O altogether, with donations.
 The candy and magazines are always donated, by the people of Williams, and the ap- ples and tobacco arebought tho Shese, also, are often donated.
 The possibilities of this ser vice so impressed MT Goodrich, State Director, of Phoenix, who was here recently, that he of tered to ask the Phoenix chap ter to give financial help to the local chapter.

SECOND ENGINE WILL
 SOON BE RUNNING

The second unit which the town council has purchased to complete the municipal power plant has arrived and will soon be ready for operation. This is a one hundred horse power Corliss engine. It is a six cyl inder type and is equipped to burn the same low grade oil that is used with the larger en- zine now in operation. At this altitude it will develope about eighty horse power, which will be ample to carry the day load. After this is installed, it will be possible to shut down the lar ger engine in the daytime, with a saving of oil, and permit the engineers to keep both engines in perfect shape without inter rupting the service.
 The larger engine has now been rendering twenty-four hour service for two months without interruption other than 6 short stop each noon to clea the spark plugs. The serv' ce has been excellent and particu- larly good in consideration of the fact that the engine was put in operation immediately upon installation and has been kept going each day without allow ing opportunity to make ad- justments that have been need ed. After the smaller engine is put in service the larger en- zine will receive further atten- ton and be put in yet better condition. No town in Arizona will then be able to boast of a better electric plant.

WORD FROM J. FOLEY

The editor has received an interesting letter from MT. Jas. Foley, formerly of Williams, who is now in training at Amer ican Lake. MT. Foley writes as follows:
 Camp Louis, Wash.
 March 28, 1918 MT. F. E. Wells,
 Dear Sir:
 About time that I wrote to you again, letting you know that I am receiving your very interesting paper weekly, and must say that I enjoy it to my hearts desire. There are a couple of my Battery mates who worked in Arizona a few years ago. One of them was employed by the Santa Fe, as a machinist, while the other has some relatives at Flagstaff. His name is Tobin. But what I meant was, when I finish read ing the Views" then they take turns at 1t. So you see any one who has ever been in Arizona never forgets, and especially Williams. You can keep on sending the paper here because it does not look as though we would move for awhile, and then, besides, I am connected with the ''Laizon" detail. It is composed of electricians, tele- graph operators, line-men, tel ephone, etc. At present we are studying electricity, besides semaphore, wig wag, and all that goes with the signal corps. I am in the best of health, and this life is great after one gets used to it. MT. Wells, extend my kindest wishes and regards to all my former friends there.
 I am sincerely yours,

AMERICAN ARMY GUN
 SUPERIOR TO GERMAN

American troops are armed with a faster firing and more accurate rifle than used by the Germans, according to our ex- pert designers, manufacturers and marksmen, says a state ment by the burean of ord nance. One military critic and writer claims the German Mauser does not permit the user to get more than 50 per cent of the firing speed of the modified Enfield adopted for the United States service.
 The superiority claimed for the American weapon is sup ported on three counts: Quick CT firing as result of bolt-handfe design, easier and quicker sighting as a result of sight de sign and greater mechanical ac- curacy of chamber and bore
