LIFE UNCERTAIN IN
 TURBID OLD MEXICO

MT. F. c. Scoville, cashier of
 The Citizens Bank of Williams,
 recently received a letter from the foreman of a ranch near Mazatlan, Mexico, in which MT, Scoville is interested, which portrays existing conditions there. Extracts from the letter appear below:
 'tIn a general way the condi- ton here is fairly good. We had a heavy rain last week, about four inches, which help ed out our bean crop a lot, and put all the verano lands in fine shape for planting. We are still bothered and menaced by bandits at Los Esteros./ Last week our patrols had an en- counter with some forty bandits under Tomas Orosco. Our men though greatly outnumbered drove off the bandits, captur- ing some of their equipment. Word has since come in that Tomas Orosco was shot through the hips and was carried off the field by his men. We lost one horse killed and had one horse wounded. Several of our men had slight scratches and bullet holes through their clothes. A few days before this our men had another en- counter in which they captured one mauser rifle and one pistol and two horses and saddles from the bandits. One of the bandits was seriously wounded but escaped into the monte. Jose Allende, superintendent of the Chilapa Haciende was am- pushed on the road and killed 2 bout two weeks ago, by the Tomas Orosco band. Allende had an escort of some twenty men, but at the time he was attacked he was considerably ahead of the escort, with only two men. They were all three killed before the escort came up. This took place some where near the Cerro Colo rado."

CAPT. JOHN HANCE CALLED BY DEATH

Captain John Hance, the not ed pioneer, guide and imagina- tive genius of the Canyon died at the county hospital, Monday afternoon, January 6. The Captain had been in poor health for the last year. Sev- eral weeks ago he suffered a se- were paralitic stroke and since then his vitality steadily declin- ed until death called him.
 Captain Hance passed his eighty-fifth birthday last Octo- Der. He came to Arizona fifty years ago and faced the perils of the wilds of Arizona for many years as a guide and hun ter. In 1882 he settled at Grand Canyon and claimed that as his home thereafter. This was many years. before the railroad to the Canyon was built but many tourists visited the canyon even in those days. MT. Hance's services as a guide were in great demand. He knew the canyon thoroly and entertained his guests with "reminiscences of the early days. When the railroad came he had become so famous for his stor- ies of the Canyon, taken from his own personal experience 1, and illuminated with a touch of imaginative genius, that he was engaged as paid entertainer and he came to be known ah the only paid prevaricator in the world. He came to be one of the chief attractions for the thousands of tourists visiting the Canyon each year. Ha who failed to meet the Captain and hear his stories could not say that he had really seen the Canyon. It was only when seen thru his eyes that it could be fully appreciated.
 The only known relatives of the Captain were his two broth CTS who accompanied him from Missouri. James Hance is re- membered by many of the ear Her pioneers of the county. He had business interests here for a number of years. He preced- ed the captain in making the last long pilgrimage. g
 George Hance, the Captains one living relative, resides at Verde, Arizona.

WEATHER AND CROP RE-
 PORT PACIFIC DISTRICT

Rainfall during December was deficient except in portions of southern Arizona, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah and along the Washington coast where there was a slight excess. The most marked defi- ciency occurred in California, Oregon and Idaho. Tempera, lures averaged slightly below normal in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, southern Ore gon and southwestern Idaho. It was warmer than usual in northern Oregon, eastern Wash 1ngton and northern Idaho. The deficiency in temperature was due to cool nights more than to cool days as, the day tempera- lures were not far from normal. Most of the rain fell during the first half and the sunshine was greatest and the night temper atures lowest during the last half of the month. Snowfall in the mountains and in the pla- teau sections was below the sea- sonal average. The cold pre- vented blowing and seeding ex- cept in California and southern Arizona, where considerable work of this character was done. Frost formed frequently in California, and while it did no great damage except in the case of the citrus fruit, growth of grass, grain and winter vege- i. tables was retarded.

ARIZONA LEGISLATURE MAY MEET HERE
Unable to meet in Phoenix Be- cause of the Fresh and Se-- were Outbreak of Influenza-
 Invited to Williaras-Anple
 Accommodations and No Flu

The Arizona State Legislature finds itself in a predicament in choosing a city in which to hold session. The fresh outbreak of influenza in Phoenix, more sea- were than at any time during the former outbreak there, pre- cludes the possibility of the SO Ions holding out at the state capitol as in former years. Oth~ CT cities have been suggested, but there is no town of any con siderable importance except Williams, that is entirely free from the epidemic. Williams does not have a single case of influenza at the present time. nor has there been a case here for several weeks. A morA ideal place of assembly, under present conditions, cannot be found.
 The Williams Chamber of Commerce has wired memberS of the 1919 legislature, offering them the free use of our large and commodious school audi torium or one of the large pulp lie halls, as they may choose
 The accommodations of the town are ample. Besides the roomy quarters of our Harvey house and of the local hotels there are many rooms avalE able among the private resi- dences, for those who require quiet surroundings in order to- do effective work. Many pub; lie spirited citizens have al ready, come forward and offer cred rooms in their dwellings at. very moderate rates.
 There is a probability that. the legislature may accept the invitation from Williams, es-- pecially in view of the complete freedom from cases of influenza here.
 The converting of the legisIa- ture in Williams would mean x very prosperous period for the city during the next six months and it would give the locality the advertising which alone is needed to make this the leading summer resort of the state. It behooves every public spirited citizen to stand back of this proffer of the towns hospitality and to be prepared. to make the legislators most welcome in our little city.
 While it is impossible to fore tell just what action the Iegis- lature may take. relative to choosing where the next ses- sion will be held. tits quite eer- tain that they will not take the risk of spreading the. influenza by meeting in any city where the epidemic is rrevaIent at the present time. Williams seems to be the only city of any size that has succeeded in stamping out the disease. The legisIa- ture could do much worse than choose our healthful, and hospi- table little city
