HEAVY RAINS DELAY
 SANTA FEE TRAINS.

All trains on the Santa Fe have been greatly delayed dur ing the past few days as a re- suit of the heavy rains in south ern California and Arizona. A land slide occurred at Cajon Pass blocking all trains be- tween Los Angeles and Eastern points. Near Barstow two engines and a mail car on train POS jumped the track when it sagged as result of the weak ening effect of the storm on the road bed. No one was injured.
 Between Seligman and Ash Fork washout was reported as occurring Wednesday night, which delayed trains both ways
 In California many cities are menaced with floods and in Los Angeles county the sheriff has called out extra deputies to patrol the most dangerous flood points in that county.

|. The Williams Gun Club gave farewell banquet in honor of R. A. Nickerson, last S urday night. The affair was i.eld at the White Grotto Dinir Hall. In addition to member of the Club there were about ,en in vited guests making in ali forty five who partook of the fes- tivities and joined in the nights entertainment. MT. Kicker sons resignation from the office of manager of the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company, takes effect January 1st. The banquet was given as an expreS- sion of the high esteem in which MT. Nickerson is held by mem bers of the Club and citizens of Williams.
 In preparation for the eve ning's feed, members of the Gun Club went out early last week and bagged a good sup ply of quail, rabbits and ducks. This game made up the meat part of the evenings feast. The party sat down at II P. M. to course of quail toast. Rabbit and quail followed in courses accompanied and interspersed with numberless other pastries and delicacies. In addition to the sumptuous feast set forth to satify the physical man, several of the local orators were called upon to deliver. toasts for the entertainment and en- ightenment of the mental man. These toasts were on a par with the epicurean fare spread upon the festive board.
 The walters of the evening were also members of the Gun Club who had grown coal black faces and donned walters uniforms expressly for the oc- casion. Their serving could not have been excelled by. the most high toned metropolitan Philippians.
 It was 4 A. M. before the banquet was completed and the guests took themselves home ward. All declared the oc- casion an unqualified success.

Red Cross Looking For:

Little Helen Maxwell, Six year old daughter of Fred Max well, who lost his life in the World War, is being sought by her mother, Mrs. Maxwell, bet ter known as Madame Olga, a Brazilian fortune teller. Dur. ing a period of illness in Salt Lake City, Utah, last June, Mrs. Maxwell sent her little daugh- ter with her brother, George Stero, and his wife who were camping along the way to Cal ifornia. Since then, Mrs. Maxwell has not been able to locate either her child or her brother, and she called upon the Red Cross for assistance.
 Anyone knowing of a gypsy camp would do a favor to the mother by carrying a message of her inquiry to it. Infor- nation concerning the missing child may be sent to Pacific Division Headquarters of the American Red Cross, Civic Auditorium, San Francisco, Calif., and it will be forwarded to the mother.

MOOSE TREE SUCCESS

The Christmas tree and din- ner which the local lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose gave Thursday night, December 22, was a great success. A large number of people turned out and all spent a most enjoyable evening. The Xmas tree was beautifully decorated, and as for Santa Claus-wel1. every one enjoyed him immensely. but the children simply lowered about him like bees about honey comb. Every little heart was made glad by the gift of a sack of candy and nuts from the good old saint and they all de clared him the jolliest and best fellow in the world.
 After the Christmas tree en- tertainment was over all were invited into the banquet room where they partook of a won derful Christmas dinner

WATER DEPARTMENT
 SPENDS DAY AT DAM.

Just why the municipal wat CT department should choose a day like Thursday for spending an outing up on the side of Bill Williams, has not been an nounced, but so they did. Communicating the street de- partment's team and the street force, they drove to the dam and there proceeded to make use of pick and shovel. On their return they brought back big Christmas tree, diverse thor oughly soaked garments and best of all, very encouraging report on the water situation. It may be perfectly natural for a water department to take it's airing on rainy days. At any rate the public has no objection to their doing so so long as they bring back favorable reports on the water situation. Consider ing the dull times it is doubtful if the doctors will register any objections to such excursions, either.
 But the big news is that on Thursday morning A SIZE ABLE STREAM OF WATER WAS ACTUALLY POURING INTO THE MUNICIPAL RES ERVOIR- for the first time in fifteen months or more. The snow Thursday afternoon materially checked the flow of water, but at the same time further added to the supply of available water on the water shed. It will be several weeks and perhaps longer before the city will be able to draw it's water supply from the dam again, but the supply that is piling up on the mountain side gives assurance of an abund- ant supply when the spring thaws come, if not before.

Announcement

Announcement A has been made by the Arizona Cattle Growers Association of further relief that will be granted in meritorious cases of those users or the National Forests who have been unable to pay their grazing fees on December 1st. the time limit heretofore set by congressional legislation. To many of the cattlemen of Ari- zona who graze their stock on the National Forests it has been impossible, in view of their de plOrable condition from drought and lack of market, to pay the fees which were first due last April, and through the efforts of the Cattlemen's As sociation the time of payment was postponed twice, finally to December 1st. The first of December found many of them with a greater inability to meet this obligation, and the Associa- tion has been endeavoring either to have the time of pay ment again postponed or to avoid the penalties regularly enacted by reason of non-pay- ment.
 In telegraphic information just received from Senator Ash urst, it is stated that Senator Ashurst, Representative Hay den Governor Thomas E. Camp bell and MT. Dwight B. Heard had an extended interview with the Secretary of Agricul- ture on this matter, pointing out that many honest, industrious cattlemen in Arizona, through no fault of their own, were not in position to pay these fees at this time and unless the fees were extended, these men would be ruined.
 Rather than enacting further legislation in this matter the Secretary of Agriculture has kindly issued instructions to the various Forest Supervisors, di- rectlng them to accept promis- sorry notes from those permit tees on the Forests who have been unable to pay the grazing fees, in all cases where the good faith of the permittee was evident.
 The Arizona Cattle Growers Association requests interested cattlemen to make tender of their notes to the Forest Super visors, and failing to secure proper recognition, to take the matter up with the Associa- tion's offices at Phoenix.

 Secretary.

THE HEAVENS OPEN AND RICHES FROM THE
 SKIES POUR FORTH.

There is vast relief among .the residents of Williams this week, as rain and snow vie with one another in driving away the demon drouth which had held @he town in it's clutches for months past. That old wOr- ried look is gone from the faces of citizens and business men are again looking hopefully forward to the future.
 The water situation had = grown increasingly menaclng since the summer rains failed to put any water in the city reser- voir. With the reservoir empty the town was forced to rely up on the wells about town for water. For a time the mu- nicipal well made it possible for the city to supply water in part of the mains for several hours each day, but gradually this supply was falling off. The Buggeln well which had sup piled the school house got low CT and lower and finally failed altogether a few weeks ago. Other wells got very low in spite of being cleaned out and threatened to go dry altogether. A few months more without rainfall would have found the town totally without water ex- cept for what might have been shipped in by rail or hauled from springs or wells far re- moved from town.
 = Last Saturday indications pointed to approaching storm. Sunday afternoon the storm commenced with snow. Instead of growing colder as the storm continued, the ther- mometer rose. Overnight the snow turned to rain and Mon day rain continued to fall. The total rainfall up to Monday night was 1.65 inches. Tues day the rain stopped but the wind held to the south and the temperature remained high. On Wednesday night slightly under an inch of rain fell. On Thursday the rain changed to a wet snow which continued all ? day. Thursday night the wind changed to southwest and the temperature fell quite rapidly freezing the slush still on the ground. Snow fell during the night but was light and dry and added but little to the rainfall. Today has remained partly cloudy and unsettled but colder than formerly. The rainfall as recored at the forest office appears below. The readings are made at eight o'clock each morning.
