ONE INCH RAIN VISITS
 WILLIAMS AND VICINITY

During Tuesday and We'd nesday of this week, Coconino county and most of Northern Arizona, was visited with rains that were worth thousands of . dollars to ranchmen and farm CTS. The local weather office recorded 1.36 inches, and Carl Hinds, in charge of the U. S. thermometer at Red Lake, re- ported .78 of an inch in the val ley, Tuesday. There has been rainfall there since but the re- port is not at hand.
 Reports from other sections indicate that there is no section that has no received an inch or more of rain during the present week. ~.{
 These rains have greatly ben- efted the ranges which had just begun to suffer seriusly, and will suffice to mature early wheat and rye, while coming just in time to give the later plantings a good start toward a heavy yield.
 In some sections, spring wheat had begun to burn before the rain arrived and few fields may be cut a little for want of rain when needed, but on the whole the prospect for crops has never been better. Present indications are that the sum- mer rains haxs really started, and that otherrains will follow. If this proves true, the farmers will raise crops this season that will make them E1en of means that. they are in successful far ming districts. Improved farm methods and better farm mach inery should keep this prosper ity with them.

NO GRADE OVER FIVE
 PERCENT ON NEW ROAD

When Assistant State Engln- eer Parker left for Phoenix the first of the week, he expressed himself as being very much pleased with the proposed new road. He states that the road will not be difficult to construct whichever route is taken, and that in no place will the grade exceed five per cent. It is now the rule in the state engineers office that no road shall be con- structed with a grade in. excess of six per cent, and five percent is to be considered the maxi mum except in cases of extreme necessity.
 In many places there are hills that are being negotiated every day by automobiles, that have a grade much sharper than any will be on the new road. Those who have been boosting the new route have maintained that the road should be muck easier than others that are now Delng travelled but the fact that there will be no grades in ex- cess of five per cent comes as wecome news to all the boost CTS of the road.
 MT. P arker was enthusiastic over the scenic beauty of the route !, and declared that 1t would make drive that would compare favorably with any in the country. In addition to this is the fact that with this road once thru, it will be very easy to run off side roads to the rim of the Sycamore, to Coleman Lake and to other points of interest that will add still greater de light to the tourist passing along his route.
 The surveyors are expected to arrive and begin the prelimI nary survey within the next few days.

Burglars Enter Store

Burglars entered the store of Johnson and McConkey on Monday night. Entrance was gained through the transon, over the back door, the two iron bars, which are across the .transom being forced apart a. bout ten inches, to admit the burglar. Dirty finger prints left upon the9door and frame would indicate that a small eized person had entered by that route. Three automatic revolvers were stolen, also twenty dollars which had been left in the cash register. As this firm has suffered the loss of firearms by thieves in previous raids, they must keep a high class of firearms.

At this time there will re- main but about 6O.OOO troops still not actually demobiiized because they will still be re- ceiving treatment in hospitals It is stated that on. this date, the army will be officially de- bilized. This demobilization will automatically suspend the operation of the wartime pro- hibition bill.

When the war department announced along the first of year, that all the American army would be back home and demobilized' by Christmas of this year, the Republican Press hooted and authorities on ships and shipping proved that such thing woud be impossible Demobiization will be complet- ed in August instead of Dec 'ember. Naturally the republ1- can press has forgotten it's for ner assertions and now instead it cynically remarks that ex- cept for the incompetence of the democratic administration the boys. woud have been home sooner.

MEETING TOWN
 COUNCIL "A

The Town Council met in re-
 gular session Tuesday evening,
 all members, and the city attor- ney and clerk, being present, except Mayor Kirkpatrick: An
 unusually large gatering of citi-
 zens attended the meeting. Many bills for current expenses in connection with the water and electric plants, etc., etc.,
 were approved and ordered paid. A representative of an Arizona mining supply com pany was present and submit ted figures for installing an ad- ditional unit at the electric light plant.
 A petition was presented to the council asking for the ap- pointment of Robert Burns as city marshal. T he petition was signed by 253 representative business men, and others. City Marshal P. Shafer was present, and addressed the coucil, and from his remarks it was learn ed that the petition grew out of a charge of ineficiency in con- nection with the killing of Coun ty Constable Victor Melick, by Simplicio Torres. MT. Shafer, in his remarks, charged that misrepresentation had been re- sorted to in securing signatures to the petition, and that he was not in close proximity to the phase of shooting, and that he was sick at the time, only com ing down town to mail some letters for another party.
 Councilman Dial moved that the petition be tabled, There was no support to his motion.
 Councilman Watson moved, and Councilman Elliot second ed the motion, that MT. Shafer be removed from office, the same to take effect upon a de- claration of the vote of the council. Motion carried. Coun- cilman Dial voted no.
 Moved by Elliot, seconded by, Watson, that Robert Burns be hereby appointed city marshal, to become effective immediate VI. Councilmen Watson and Elliot voted yes, Dail no.
 Four or five women were present and spoke against the appointment of MT. Burns. The council considered the very many names of ladies signed to the petition for the appoint ment greatly outweighed the counter-petitioners, who. did not present a petition in writ ing. MT. Nickerson made a few remarks, saying that if Mir. Burns was to accept the posi-. tion as city marshal, it would probably be at a loss to MT. 1 Burns, for the mill company was paying him a larger salary as watchman. MT. Nickerson stated that Mr. Burns was very efficient in keeping the Mill | plant free from undesirable characters, was always on the job, and intimated he would be very sorry to lose him.
 Threats were made for re- call election of the council. and it developed that Councilmen ! Waton and Elliott were not ad-J verse to recall; indeed MT. Elliott stated he would insist that his wife should sign the re- call petition, if it materialized Councilman Watson voiced 3 similar sentiment.
 There is small chance for a.. recall. from the number of 1 signatures attached to the peti- tion. and which, it is claimed, could have been materially ad- ded to, had it been necessary.
