1 obtained from Federal aid, which otherwise would not be the case.
 During the discussion which ensued it developed that the amount of money the county would have to expend in order to obtain the $15O,OOO federal aid was but $125,0OO instead of $15O,O0O, since the town of Flagstaff will match S25, 1000 of federal aid for streets. This fact, together with the further fact that enough money in all probability will be available from other funds to equal $25,- 900. will make enough funds available to obtain the federal aid desired. These facts were pointed out by R. A. Nickerson, and while not admitted in their entirety by members of the commission, still there can be but little doubt that if the com ronissioners and the board of Supervisors desire to secure the whole amount of federal aid available without divertino the roonev voted bv tho neople for the Willians-CJarkd ale road and the Oak Creek road aT well, they have the means of doing so.
 The discussion was nartici. nated in -hv Mess1s NickersOn . Sleeves. Williams. ClTeton and others. after which the follow ioo resolution was offered hv .Tndoe Sleeves and unanimously adopted:
Williams news., 1920-05-07
RESOLUTION
Preamble

Under the provision of legis- lative enactment the sum of $25,0OO has been appropriated by the state of Arizona for the purpose of constructing a road from Williams, Arizona, to Clarkdale, Arizona; the survey for which has been completed and is now on file in the office of the State Engineer.
 In compliance with the re- ouirements of Chapter 3 1 of the Session Laws of Arizona, Regu- lar Session, 1917, and of acta supplementary thereof and amendatory thereto, the High way Commission of Coconinc County, Arizona, did, on Sep tember 6th., 1919. in a report made to the Board of Supervis- ors of Coconino County, Ari- zona, recommend that certain roads and proposed roads as designated by the Highway Commission upon map. which map was marked Exhibit A" and filed as part of the said Highway Commissions report, be improved. Among other roads shown upon the said map marked Exhibit A" is that of the proposed road from Will Hams to Clarkdale. or so much thereof as would be contained within the county of Coconino should the same be constructed.
 It was further recommended by the Highway Commission in its report to the Board of Super Vlsors that, from reliable infor- nation furnished it by those in authority and who were best able to give such informan, the amount of money that could be obtained from the federal gov ernment to assist in the im- provement and construction of a portion of the roads shown upon the aforesaid map marked Exhibit A" would be the sum of $50, ,OOO, provided the coun- ty of COconino furnished a like amount.
 The Highway Commissin thereupon recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the sum of S15O,O0O should be pro. v1ded through a bond issue by the county for the purpose of Improving and constructing those roads as designated upon the said map, Exhibit Az.

The Commercial Club held its regular monthly meeting Thurs day evening and was largely at- tended, owing to the fact that the Coconino County Highway Commission members had been invited to be present and ex- plain the proposal to divert the money available for the Clark. dale road to improving the road between Williams and Ash Fork.
 Chairman M. I. Powers and members Durham, Poison and Sweetwood were present, and after the regular order of busi- ness had been disposed of, dur. ing which it developed from a report of the committee on street lights that tweny-eight lights had been subscribed by merchants, and that the same would be ordered immediately MT. Powers addressed the Club and set forth the reason it iS asked that the proposed diver sion of funds be made. He stat. ed briefly, that the county could obtain $15O,000 federal aid only through highways, such ar the Old Trails route. and that nothing in the way of Federal aid could be expected for side roads that served only local purposes, such as the proposed Clarkdale road would be; and that if the $25, ,O00 voted for tho Clarkdale road at the bond election were permitted to be spent upon the Ash Fork road |. an additional S25, 1000 would be

WILLIAMS DEFEATS FLAGSTAFF, IS TO g

Extreme wildness on the part of F. Hanley, the Flagstaff pitcher, in the Sth inning of last Sundays ball game between Flagstaff and Williams, coupled with some nsolid hitting by Montgomery, Sullivan, Barstow and Wolfe, enabled the Will jams team to pull a game which was apparently lost, out of the fire, and win by score of 15 to g. Going into this inning with a score of 9 to 6 ir favor of Flagstaff, Hanley lost control entirely, passing the first four men that faced him, and then allowing enough hits, coupled with another pass, to provide Williams with nine runs, ana the game.
 The weather was not very pro- pitious for good ball playing, a nasty wind sweeping across the diamond, and interfering with the play of both teams, and the comfort of the spec tators. Misunderstanding of ground rules accounted for a couple of the runs that Flag staff accumulated. while the others were made by fairly good hitting. The hitting honors of the day were carried off by Browning, of Flagstaff, who accumulated two home runs and a single: Proctor, who uncorked two-bagger, and two sinoles: and Sellmar. who nicked the pill for three. singles.
 It is apparent that, with more practice, and the addition of two players who will be secur- ed, the Williams team will not Joe an easy mark for any of the teams in Northern Arizona this year, and with the team getting support from the fans that it deserves. it promises to be a sue cessfUl base ball season. The attendance Sunday. in spite of ; the unpleasant weather was very encouraging.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The debating club met last Monday evening and discussed the following subject: Resolved that strikes should be declared illegal, and that the United States Government should set tie all disputes between capital and labor.
 Those who spoke on the affirmative were Reginia Rous- seau, Helen Maxwell, Verdi Barnes, and John Montgomery. Those on the negative were Elsie Maxwell, Charles Sullivan Loren Scovil1e, and Raymond Rupe.
 The decision was given in favor of the negative.
 This was one of the best de- bates that the high school has held and those who missed hearing it failed to enjoy a we'll prepared debate.
 The Science Club met in the English room Tuesday evening and held a very interesting pro- gram on Birds, as follows: Birds in this vicinity by Marga- ret Duffe1d.
 The value of birds to man by Maudie Russel.

In pursuance Of the tOregO- ing recommendations made by the Highway Commission for Coconino County, the Board of Supervisrs called a special cleo tion-which was held October 31st., 1919-wherein the ques- tion of authorizing the county of Coconino to create an indebt' edness of $15O,OO0 for the pur- pose heretofore mentined, was carried at the said special cleo tion by a large majority.
 The proposition, therefore, aa submitted to and voted upon by Yhe electorate of Coconino coun- fJy carried with it the specific prvision that a portion of the, aum of $15O,OOO contemplated, 70 be secured by the county through the proposed bond is" sue, should be expended upor the road from Williams to, ClarkdaIe.
 In view of the fact that tho amount appropriated by the legislature and the amount available from the bond issue of Coconino county is regarded by the State Engineer and the Highway Commission for Coco nino County as being insuffi. cient to construct the particular kind kind and quality of road deemed advisable by them, it ia now proposed that the sum ap- propriated by the legislature and the sum so voted by the people be diverted from the original purpose for which the said sums were originally pro- vided, and that the same be ex- pended upon improvement of the road between Williams and Ash Fork.
 Now, therefore,
 BE TT RESOLVED by the Commercial Club of Will Hams. Arizona, that it is the opinion of the members of thiT organization that the amount appropriated by the Legislature of the State of Arizona for the. purpose of constructing a road from Williams, Arizona, to Clarkdale, Arizona, cannot be. either legally or morally, di. verted by anyone from the orig inal purpose of the act whereby it was appropriated: nor do we believe that the fund specifical. ly voted for by the people of this county to be expended upon
