We had a good meeting Wed nesday night with a good at tendance, although two very important committee members thot it best to attend the pie ture show. We pulled one on them good and strong. A husky committee of two were sent to the show house and before the a absentees were fully aware of what was transpiring, they were in the Lodge Room. One of the gentlemen took his wife to the show. We don't know who took her home. We wont mention any names but Oh Boy! Thursday noon he look ed as tho Maggie" had reach ed home first.
 Arrangements were made for the installation of Officers on the first meeting night of the New Year, providing that our District Deputy can make it convenient to be present on that date, Jan. 4, 1922.
 All Odd Fellows are urged to make it their business to be present. There will be eats in the Banquet Room. We don't know just what it will consist of but we hope there will be Owls on the Bill of Fare. We know the Scribe has missed the re- porting of two Meetings, and too little Owl and Hawk stew must have been the cause.
 We are very sorry to report that brother CottoIendy and family will soon leave for Phoe- nix, Arizona. Altho Joe lived some 2 or 3 miles from Town he has been very faithful in his attendance and we are sorry to lose him.
 Brother Tug Mccartney was brought to the Hospital Tues day night, a very sick man, but we are glad to report that he is much better.

In the com ing of George H. Crosby to Flagstaff, the county is made richer by the addition of an able lawyer and a very de- sirable citizen.

What Does It Mean?

Williams has been experience ing weather lately which is pug zling the old-timers. Since the rains left off on Tuesday, the mercury has persisted in re- maining high enough for March weather. The rain was not fol- lowed by snow and cold freez- ing weather as is the usual thing. Warm days and nights in December are usually the forerunners of a storm, yet day follows day with the thermome- ter steadily creeping upward and no storm yet in evidence. some of the local prophets say that a genuine winter storm is in the making. Others say this only proves that the present winter is destined to be an ex- tremely mild one.

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN
 INCOME TAX PROCEDURE

Important changes - income tax procedure directed by Com ] missioner David T. Blair are
 embodied in Treasury De-
 cision effective December 18th,
 which provides for the prompt
 adjustment of claims for refund ! and abatement of Federal tax 1 eS.
 Heretofore when an over
 assessment or overpayment was disclosed by the audit of an in come tax return, the taxpayer was invited to file a claim for the abatement of the overas- sessment or the refund of the overpayment. When received the claim was registered and
 filed away until reached in due course for consideration. Be- cause of the large number of such claims filed, delay in ad- justnent necessarily resulted.
 After December 18th tax payers will not be advised of their privilege of filing a claim for the refund of taxes which have been paid in excess of amounts legally due, but in stead will receive a certificate of overassessment and check in correction of the error or if an assessment is outstanding against the taxpayer for income or excess profits tax, the over payment will be applied as a credit against the assessment and the balance immediately refunded.
 This will be of distinct fi- nancial advantage to both the taxpayer and the Government. It will do away with the neces- sity for the taxpayer filing a claim for refund and will great ly reduce the amount of work to be done by the Bureau in the adjustment of claims. Tax payers may continue to file claims for abatement and re- fund, but it is expected that the number of such claims filed each month will be greatly re- duced.
 Efforts are being made by the Bureau to adjust within six months all claims now pending and thereafter to keep the work l current.
 The Revenue Act of 1912 1 provides that under certain con- ditions interest shall be paid upon claims from the date of l the payment of the tax to the 1 date of the allowance of the 1 claim. The new procedure should greatly reduce the a mount of interest which the Government must of necessity | pay upon claims for refund.

RANGE AND CROP REPORT

Moderate to heavy rains over
 the major grazing sections an>,
 winter ranges of the district have had a greatly beneficial effect. The water supply on
 winter sheep ranges has been considerably increased and win ter annuals have already re- sponded to the copious precipi- tation. In a telegram to the weather bureau the Superin- tendent of the Fort Apache In dian Reservation states that 3 slow rain fell throughout the
 White Mountains beginning on
 Sunday evening, lasting 24 hrs,
 and that roads are soft and all travel difficult. The report from Prescott indicates that a
 total fall of 4.47 inches rain
 occurred at that place during the week. For the same length
 of time Seligman reports 3.27 inches; Williams, 2.34 inches. During 24 hours ending D. m
 of the 26th, Jerome reports fall of 1.21 inches rain. Owing to moderately high tempera- lures and prevalence of rain lit tie snow covers any portion of the range with the exception of Grand Canyon where a depth of three inches is reported. Little precipitation occurred in the southeastern section but range and stock conditions are report ed as fair to excellent.
 Slow steady rain over irrigat- ed sections of the state has slowed up farming operations to a marked degree. Muddy soil has hindered cutting and marketing lettuce and cotton picking.

ADDITIONAL RAINS
 FILL ALL RESERVOIRS

Williams and vicinity were visited by additional rains Sun day, Monday and Tuesday ot this week which sufficed to fill all of the local reservoirs, re- moving for many months to come, all danger of water short age in this section.
 Just as in the former week snow began falling at Williams Sun- day afternoon. The snow was $ wet and as the temperature gradually rose, changed to rain. This rain falling on the snow which had been left on the mountains by the storm of the previous week, soon developed a torrent in every canyon. The rains continued intermittently during Monday and Tuesday, while the temperature contln- ued several degrees above freezing.
 It soon became apparent that the water famine was over for Williams and vicinity. The Santa Fe dam was the first to fill. Water began to break over it's spillway before six o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A good sized stream has continued to pour over since that time.
 The municipal reservoir far ed almost as well as the Santa Fe. On Tuesday the city wa ter department opened one of the outlets as a precaution against a possible flood, shoul2 heavy rains continue. The depth of the water in the reservoir is approximately forty feet, which leaves approximately six feet at the top yet to be filled in case of a sudden increase in the inflow. A large spillway has been provided at the top of the dam and this should take care of any overflow, but the water department is taking no chanc- es. It is probable that the dam will not be filled to the crest until danger from spring fresh cts has. passed.
 Both Saginaw dams are full.
 Water is now running over the several spillways in volume sufficient to fill an additional large reservoir every few days.
 The total rainfall for the past | two weeks is slightly under five inches as recorded by the gauge | at the local Forest Office. It is probable that the rainfall on | the mountains was considerably l heavier, but there are no gaug- l es by which the exact rainfall j there can be determined.
 It is probable that Williams will not again be confronted by a serious water shortage. for many years to come. If in the meantime the dam can be rais- ed considerably, the problem of supplying the town with suf- ficient water will bepermanent- 1y solved. There will then re- main but the one problem of i'm proving the quality of the water {, during the hottest part of the summer.
