ID OPEN PHOTO-
 GRAPH GALLERY

Harry J. Gottlieb, of Phoe- nix, has rented the rooms form, erly occupied by the Williams Chapter of the Red Cross, and will open a photograph gallery there on the 18th of this month. MT. Gottlieb has been in Will Hams for the past week and had planned to open on the 18th but has been delayed due to the failure of his supplies to get thru by freight from Phoe- nix.
 Apparently these supplies have been lost in the wrecks that have occurred on the Ash Fork-Phoenix, as a result of the floods in that part of the state, as no trace of them can be found. MT. Gottlieb has order ed an entirely new outfit from Los Angeles and will now be prepared to receive custom on and after the 18th.
 MT. Gottlieb is}an expert photographer with thorough ex perience in every branch of this line of work, and he is prepar- ed to supply anything in the line of photography from the developing of kodak films to the production of the finest oil finished photographs. His work will be in a class with the best that is offered in large cit ies. It will pay anyone desir- ing to have any sort of photo graphic work done, to call and prepared to receive customers on and after the 18th.

Good Beds for Wounded
 Private Dining Room, Too

WaShlngtn, D. C.-All wound ed men from the A. E. F. sleep on spring beds with sheets and pillows, according to a recent statement from the Surgeon Generals office of the army denying a report current in some quarters that they have only hunks. Many people that knew that healthy men in train- ing for the army slept on hunks while in camps on this side swallowed" the idea that the returned wounded had no bet ter accomodations. The hos pitals on this side are equipped better than the old regular army barracks and are real homes to men.
 A new idea in army hospital management is the private dining room'' which saves crip- pied men the trouble of walk ing to general mess halls. Meals are served to these men in nearby dining hall, on real crockery. and with clean table linen.s Orderlies wait on them Instead of Timing up for chow" or taking whatever the K. P.'s put on their plates. the wound ed men are learning to say Please pass the potatoes.''

TORRES BEST W.T.
 NESS FOR STATE

In the trial of Simplicio Tor res, the murderer of. Victor Melick, Torres, himself, has proven the best witness for the State. He has shown himself a hardened criminal without 9 twinge of remorse for the aw- full crime that he committed, and he. has supplied the evi- dence that has cleared up 3 number of points which the evil dence of other witnesses did not make quite complete. His testimony served further to re- move any grounds for a defense on the grounds of insanity.
 The evidence of the prose cution as produced before. the Superior Court is in close har- mony with the story of the kill- ing and capture as formerly re- lated in the'News.
 In his testimony Torres stat ed that he could have killed Town Marshal Shafer Sheriff Harrington and number of other people had he seen fit to do so. He rather sneeringly re- marked that shooting. at the people who had surrounded him where he hid in the house from which he was taken cap- tive, would have been like shooting blackbirds for pie''
 Limited space will not per init the detailing of the evil dence here, but it may be said that the chain of evidence is complete, and that there can be no doubt left in the mind of any normal person that here was comitted cold blooded murder in the first degree. The State laws now provide the penalty which comes as near dealing justice in such a case as any thing can, and that is the hang mans rope.

SURVEYING SOUTH ROAD

Assistant State Engineer Par ker returned to Williams this week accompanied by survey ing party ot twelve, and has started the survey for the Will liams-Clarkdale road. They began at Williams and will work south to Pine Flats, mak- ing the permanent survey that far. From Pine Flats on it is probable that two preliminary surveys will first be run before either the route by Perkinsville or down Railroad Draw is def initely settled upon. The route down Railroad Draw would be eight or ten miles shorter than the other, but would require two bridges to the other one, and may prove to have too diff cult a course to be practicable with the small funds available for construction, and might also prove too difficult for mainten- ance. The preliminary survey must be relied upon to settle which route will be taken.
 The party is making head quarters, for the present, at the W.L. Sevier ranch, while wait ing for tents which have beer delayed in shipment, to arrive.

REPORT OE THE

After much interesting discussion in which every mem Der present took part it was de- cided to investigate the mill proposition fully. Messrs.

ASKS AID FOR NAVAL MILITIA.
Mr.. Daniels Wants Congress to Aid
State Organizations.

Congress has been asked by Secre-
tary Daniels to provide funds in aid
of state naval militia organizations
The naval militia, 1t is explained, lost
its identity during the world war, first
through the creation of the national
naval volunteers, and subsequently
through the transfer of the national
volunteers to the naval reserve force
The act providing for the latter
transfer had the effect of repeating
the permanent character of the ap-
preparation provided in 1914 for sup
plying naval militia organizations
with arms and equipment Some
states are reviving their naval militia
and Secretary Daniels thinks the
movement should be encoura eed
financially by Congress.

Little-Known Hero.

OF the many stories of heroism dur
ing the war on which official records
are silent but which are being brought
forth with relaxation Of the censor
ship is that Of Captain Larcombe OF
the antiaircraft defenses of the Lon
don (Eng.) district. His job for four
years has been to find and dispose Of
German aerial bombs that failed to
explode when dropped on London.
After each air raid, and in the early
part of the war there were many, Lar
combe and his men would go about the
city seeking the "duds." 1t was dan
gerous work extricating them from
wherever they happened to drop, trans
porting them out Of the city and ex-
ploding or otherwise destroying them.
During the excitement after raid few
people thought Of the bombs that
failed to "go off," but all of them have
ceased to be menace to the city.

Americas Tin Industry.

While the United States has at
tanned q commanding position In the
tin plate export trade, it by no means
equals that which England had before
the war. Data show that while our
exports of tin plate have grown from
$500 tons in 1913 to more than 1885,
600 tons in 1917, they even now are
less than 80 per cent of England's be-
fore the war, and only 35 per cent
more than that country's present ex-
ports.
VIII this country ever have tin In
dustry of its own? asks the Philad&
phia Inquirer. The American tin-melt-
ing industry is still in the childhood
stage. Ore supplies in Bolivia, in
South America, are believed to be
large, but Bolivian producers are find
ing conditions here unsatisfactory for
doing business. Only the future can
tell whether any relief Is possible from
this source.
