WORKERS ON ALL RAILROADS WILL |bE INFECTED BY WAGE GUT ORDER
Labor Board Extends It's Decision To Include
 Virtually Every Line In
 U. S.-Effective Friday
IaepubIican 4. p. Leased wIreI

CHICAGO June 2d-Employes on virtually every railroad in the country will feel the 12 per cent wage reduc- ton ordered by the United States railroad labor board to take effect July 1. following a supplemental de- cision today extending the order to nearly 100 additional roads. The wage slash authorized by the board on June 1 to take effect next Friday originally contemplated 104 railroads, although not all employees were affected on all roads, Today's addendum to that decision included 210 roads, many of which were parties to the original decision but which re- turned to ask reductions for classes of their employees not covered in the first order.
 The reduction authorized today are identical with those of the original order, the only change being the ad- | dition of rates for marine workers in | certain harbors and of section COW ering restaurant ard dining car em- | ployes, whose wages were ordered re- duced by 60 per cent of all increases received since February 29. 1920. With exception of a few subsidiary lines. whose parent owners filed petitions | for reductions every railroad in the | country affected by decision number two, the labor boards $500. 900, 900 wage award of July. 1920. has now authorized to reduce wages on an average of IF per cent. Most of them have received such permission for all classes of employees In addition nearly two score other roads which voluntarily applied the increased scale fixed by the board in 1920, also have received authorization to make a similar cut.
 I Easing its figures on the norma
 number of employees on all roads af-
 fected by decision No. 2. the labol board recently estimated that its 1.
 per cent reduction would Top approxi mately s40o, oo0.0oo from the nations
 railroad wage bill, if applied to al , employees. Comparatively few road
 now have a full quota of employees
 but restoration of normal conditions
 and application of the boards cut t'
 all employees of the larger railroad
 will probably make the $400, 900. %
 reduction a reality.

CITY WATER PROBLEM
 IS STILL. UNSOLVED

At a meeting of Town Coun- cllmen and taxpayers, Tuesday night, it was decided that no thing could be done by the city toward developing water on either the Benham or t-?e O. wens ranches due to the fact that insufficient funds were a. vailable for any such purpose The options which had been prepared were taken over by Ed Hamilton. The council eX- pressed itself as perfectly will ing to buy water from this pro, ject but felt forced to look tos private capital for it's develop ment.
 It was generally felt that the price being asked for water rights on both places would make the proposition too ex- pensive to be feasible for the city to handle.
 MT. Hamilton may proceed with the development himself or he may interest others and make 1t a stock company pro position. In the meantime the city should continue to investi- gate possible solutions of the city's water problem-and probably will continue to do so.
 One possible solution which is worth careful investigation, is that of developing wells near town to be used during the summer. The municipal reser- voir supplies satisfactory water for about nine months out of the year-most years. A line of large clay pipe laid from the source of the water in the mu- nicipal watershed down to the dam would probably suffice to fill the dam even in a year like the present one. With sufficient wells to supply the town during the summer and the reservoir as a source of supply for the balance of the year, the city would make out very well.
 The danger lies in interest being permitted to wane with the problem left unsoived. Ad- equate water must be secured for Williams, one way or an other.

C. R.. SULLIVANT FOR
 . SCHOOL TRUSTEE

The Williams School District is, indeed, fortunate in having the opportunity to elect C. R.. Sullivant it's next trustee, as he seems to be the right man in the right place.
 He puts good schools and good education for children first in his way of looking for a better civilization. This is we'll verified by the deep interest he has taken in the Williams School and his own children's welfare in education during his several years residence here.
 At this time he has two child ren in our high school, one in the grades, a son in college in who finished high school here in June, and a son who is not yet of school age.
 MT. Sullivant's only object in running is to serve the patrons of the district, many of whom have urged him to announce himself, in helping build up a better school in Williams.

COUNTRY ITEMS

Don't pass up the entertain ment and dance at Bob Glea- sons in Pittman Valley tomor- row night, the 24th, unless you want to miss one of the best times you have ever had.
 The next good dance will be at Harry Boulin's new house in Red Lake Valley on Satur- day night, October 1st. Harry has the best floor anywhere in the country, and has put on good substantial roof. While Harry doesn't think the crowd will raise the roof, there's no telling what a gay, happy crowd might do. Everybody will be welcome.
 Ralph Mclean, of Red Lake Valley, is digging his we'll deep CT, in the hopes that he will either get the we'll down to wat CT or the water will come up to the well. Ralph thinks if, the water doesn't soon come in, it will miss a mighty good chance.
 The largest crowd of town pSOp4S dC ally this year attended the barn dance at Bill Morgan's Ranch in Garland Prairie last Satur- day night. Nathan Bankhead and family were out from Flag staff and a large crowd was out from Williams. Plenty of good cake and coffee were served, and last, but not least, came the roasting ears. The only drawback was that due to there being no roof on the barn and a brisk wind blowing, the mus ic at times could scarcely be heard by the dancers. Every body, however. enjoyed a good time. The feature of the dance was the song that Harry Gray wouldn't sing.
 Oliver Gardner, of Garland Prairie, will prove up on his homestead claim next month.
 Anderson and McMillan, of Maine, have installed gas station and are building their new "A by 28 store at the junct- ion of the new Canyon road with the highway.
 Harry Greene and Jess Lee are in charge of a gang of men, fencing the Forest boundary. They started work at the north west corner of Section Is, T. 23N., R.3E., north of Claude Hume's Ranch, in Red Lake Valley, and will work north to the northwest corner of the Forest, and will then work east, fencing the north line of the Forest. 5000 was contributed by the sheep men. In addition, they are making contributions of labor and teams. The boys are building good strong fence, and, as there is about twenty miles of it to be built, they will be hard at it for some little time. The fencing of the Forest boundary will prevent the cattle and horses that be- i long to the Forest from drifting off, and will also prevent the unpermitted stock, which have no rights on the Forest, from ] drifting on, and will thus pro- i tect the Forest Range.

The per son also took two boxes of car tridges. The stolen goods are worth only about half the cost of the broken window. The time of the deed is guessed to have been between five o'clock and daylight. The officers have not as yet found any plausible clue as to the identity of the store breaker.

A BUSY WEEK IN THE
 WILLIAMS POLICE COURT

This week has proven one Of the busiest in annals of the Will Hams Police Court. It has also proven one of the most profit able, which may prove the theo- ry of the silver lining to the darkest cloud.
 On September IT, the town marshal brought Jose Mata be- fore Judge Lee on a charge of overjoyfulness, i. e. drunken ness. He was fined SIS which he paid, and went his way re- joicing and exclaiming "viva Dios."
 On the 18th Lorenzo Espeno- sa was detected having on his person a heavy piece of artil- lery. He was relieved of the artillery and assessed $25.OO which he promptly paid.
 However it was on the 2Oth that the big case of the week came up. On this date Mar shals Burns and Case lowed in- to police court two parties giv- ing as their names David and Josephine Bellfin. They were charged with conducting a dis orderly house. Judge Lee plac- ed them under a cash bond of $500 and set their trial for Thursday afternoon at 2. They failed to make an appearance their bond was forfeit ed to the city.
 Marshal Burns while investi- gating the records of the two. photographs of the man from the sheriff of San Bernardino county, Calif., He was there convicted on a like charge and fined $28O in addi- tion to a jail sentence of six months. Mrs. Bellfin was ar rested at the same time and was fined $36O by the same court. Both parties were fined for kid their two children from a detention home in Cali fornia, only a short time ago. They sometimes travelled un- der the name of Bell and some times Bensen.
 The arrest of the pair on this charge rather diSturbs their plans to secure their child ren from the detention home in California. They had a pc tition circulated in Williams a few weeks ago, attesting to their good moral character, and secured the signatures of a of prominent citizens of Williams, Upon the strength of this petition Judge Jones ot Flagstaff, recommended to the California authorities, that the children be returned to their parents. A representative of he county was sent to bring the children home At the time of going to press it had not been earned whether the children were released by the authori- ,ies in California.
 The U. $. Department of |ustice is now looking for MT. md Mrs. Bellfin, seeking to .ake them into custody on a ,harge of violating the Mann lct.
 One Petra Gutierrez was also | aken up on charge of vagran- i y and given the alternative of pending ten days in jail or ! town. She departed ] 'romptly.
