KING AND
 QUEEN ARE COMING

Under date of September the 27th, the mayor received the following telegram from Sena- tor Henry Ashurst:
 Washington, D. c. Sep. s27-
 The King and Queen of Bel gium will visit the Grand Can yon on October twentieth and the Secretary of State here has requested me to ascertain whether or not the citizens of Coconino county desire to plan any reception for the King and Queen at the Canyon. Kindly consult citizens and write me so that I may correctly advise Secretary Lansing.
 (Signed) Ashurst.
 The NEWS is unofficially in formed that a special train will be run from Flagstaff so that citizens from the county seat may have an opportunity of paying their respects to this estimable couple of distinguish ed visitors. It is altogether likely similar arrangements might be made by the people of Williams.
 King Albert and his queen appeal to the average Ameri- can heart. because of their de mocracy, and also because at one time, about twenty years ago, the king was a railroad en-. gineer in America, working for the late James J. Hill, of the Great Northern railway.
 During the war the king cer- tainly displayed every quality of the fighting American, and the Queen served her people with a devotion that has never been excelled. Of all the mo- ble rulers of Europe, these two alone can rightly appeal to true Americans. They are worthy of the most cordial reception that can be arranged for them

FAILURE TO WITHDRAW
 "SODA TAXI CONFUSING

Washington, D. C.-Much
 confusion has arisen through the country because of the fail sure of the Senate to concur in the passage of the act repeating the tax on sodas, ice cream and soft drinks. Reports are con- stantly coming into the Bureau of Internal Revenue that pa irons are refusing to pay the tax
 The tax became effective May l, since which time it has netted several millions of dollars in revenue. The House repealed the tax June 28, but so far the Senate has taken no action and. the tax remains in effect.

MANY 60 OUT AFTER
 THEIR Bu uCK, OCT. 1ST

A great many hunting par; ties were organized and left early the morning of the first, in the quest of deer, the season for which game, opened on that morning. So far, but few of the hunters have returned and the few that have, for the most part without success. Deer appear plentiful enough, but some thing has gone wrong with the ninrods. Usually. Dr. Melick and Earl Poison have been the first to. report in. but they have not gone out yet this season.
 Bobby Burns and Curley Pow CTS started out. Started is right. Just imagine, if you can automobile speed cranks of their calibre starting out with out gasoline enough to reach their destination. They were found disconsolately walking toward town by Harry Boulin. Burns got mad and shot a rab- bit. Powers "saw" two deer and took several shots at them, failing to register.
 Scotty McDougall went hunt ing with two cartridges. He al- so saw an honest to goodness buck, fired both shots and the buck is still running. It did not run from the shots, howev- CT. Scotty says he had to walk over and shoo it away. He ayers that a tractor passing ov- CT a portion of his Red Lake ranch ran over a deer, and they ate all that was left for supper.
 As far as now known, the first deer to be brought into Williams this season, was shot by MT. Ed Johnson, in the vi, cinity of the J. D. ranch. It was on display today in the meat market, in connection with the Johnson & McConkey store.
