MISS BART IS RUNNING
 ON RECORD'IN OFFICE

Miss Irene Bart is seeking re- election to the Office of County Recorder, on the strength of her record in office. Those who have had business with the Re corder's office during Miss Bart's tenure, are unanimous in their praise of the efficiency with which the office is handled and the courtesy extended to every one by Miss Bart. But perhaps the very best recom- mendation of all is that of the state examiner who found no fault whatever with the man. agement of the office but stated tsthe records of the Recorders office are competently and eff ficiently handled and in proper form" No better proof of the fitness of Miss Bart for this off, fee could be asked by the vot- blemish. adv.
 Those who served on the var ious county war boards and committees will also remember that during the world war, Miss Bart offered her time and serv-' ices to help with the work of the various committees. Her offer was gladly accepted and her ability as a keeper of rec ords came in good stead, as tho records of the War Department attest.
 The voters of Coconino coun- tv cannot make a mistake in Miss Bart in office.

MAN FROM PA. VISITS
 WILLIAMS BY AIRPLANE
Merle A. -Moltrup in Curtis J. N. 4 Chooses Prettiest Town site this Side of the Rockies

Entirely unannounced, E1erle
 A. Moltrup, driving a Curz;s J.
 N. 4, allighted at the Williams
 Aviation Field, shortly after
 noon today (Friday). Except
 for Dr. Melick, who had been
 called to Bellemont, sighting
 the plane as it passed over that
 place and sending word ahead,
 the people of Williams would
 have had no warning whatso-
 ever of the planes approach
 The word was passed quickly
 about and by the time MT.
 Moltrup reached Williams the
 streets were filled with school
 children and others, who had
 come out to see the first air
 plane ever to make a flight
 across the San, Francisco
 plateau.
 An easy landing was made at the Williams Aviation Field
 northwest of town. Altho this,
 field had been chosen for the
 use of other planes expected from the west, this aviator had no knowledge of that fact. He picked the field because it look. ed right from above, just as it had appeared to be the right location for an aviation field, in the eyes of those without wings. MT. Moltrup is quite enthusiastic about the field He declares that it is located just right, with gentle hillside slope that facilitates both 1and- ing and mounting, and it is smooth and yet we'll drained.
 Mr. Moltrup has used his plane in the East for motion picture work and he is on his. way to Los Angeles to use the plane in the same sort of work there. He arrived in Albuquer-1 que in just four days after leav- ing Pittsburg. He stopped at Gallup and Holbrook. From Holbrook he came to Williams, the next good stop, making the flight in one hour and fifty min utes. He found it easy sailing except for the divide at Rior- dan. This high point reduced his elevation to about 800 feet, considerably less than an aViatr desires. He found<it extremely cold as he flew over the snow covered heights upon which Flagstaff is located. and sped over this unwelcone surface so fast that he failed to see the little town at all. and the warm-- ar cline of Williams looked very good to him.
 Except for the cordial hospi- ,ality extended the aviator by MT. Erie Poison of the White Garage, who drove to the land ng to meet him, and by Mayor Johnson and others, MT. Mol rup would have spent the night he night at Kingman. His first of the town, as he ircled over it preparatory to a landing, was that this s the prettiest town this side f the Rockies. When he came 0 town after making his land 1g, his good impression was urther strengthened. and the 7arm welcome and hospitality Xtended him, have placed our own above all others at which e has stopped, as a desira bIe lace in which to live.
 The successful flight of Mr. [oltrup has won him the dis notion of being the first aviat- r to cross the San Francisan lateau by air route. and the rst man to make a flight of any 'rt in Coconino county. It will ? remembered that a much 1vertised attempt was made : Flagstaff a few years ago.. Ut the plane failed to leave the round.
 On latest advices it was learn l that Mr. Moltrup will prob )lv remain in Williams until onday.
