GOODMAN APPOINTED
 STATE ENGINEER

Frank R. Goodman has been ap- pointed by Governor-elect, G. W. P. Hunt, to the position of State Engin- ger under the democratic administra- ton which takes office January 1st- MT. Goodman has been serving as en- gineer for Coconino County for the past few months and has rendered such excellent service that the super visors have been congratulating themselves upon their good fortune in securing the services of such a competent man. While congratulat- ing MT. Goodman upon his goodfor- tune they regret to lose his services.
 MT. Goodman is man of broad ex- perience in engineering. He served as an assistant under Lamar Cobb at tn time when he was State Engineer under the former Hunt administra- tions.
 The appointment came as a sur prise-aIbeit pleasant one-to MT. Goodman. He had been very busy with his county work and was paying little attention to politics.
 MT. Goodman has been a resident of Arizona for the past 19 years and during that time has been closely in touch with road work in the state. His appointment is proof of the business to pick efficient men for state office.

HOUSING MEETING 0F
 WINS. TOWN COUNCIL

A rousing meeting of the Town Council was held Monday, November 18th. and a great many matters of importance were taken up.
 The water question will no doubt be solved soon. One of the leading professors of Bacteriology has the matter in hand and is offering his services without charge.
 One of the important business mat ters which was taken up by the Coun- cil Monday night was the number of delinquent users of light and water. So many of our best people just over look the wording on monthly bills sent them, which reads: "Bills must be paid before 10th. of the month";"
 It is the wish of the Council that all those who have neglected paying their bills until after the 10th, and some not even then, would so arrange to take care of same as prescribed by ordinance.
 The Town Clerk has been instruct ed to show no favoritism whatever and to discontinue service where bills are not paid on date prescribed by law

ARIZONA MAY BE FIRST
 IN BOY SCOUT WORK

Arizona is among the foremost states in the Union in the work of or ganizing the Boy Scouts. The State Council has high hopes of succeeding in completing the organization of all the territory in the state within the next few weeks. If this is accom- plished, the Baby state will be the first state in the Union to attain this end. That will be distinction quite fitting to the state which is first in education.
 Yet Williams is tagging in boy scout work. Flagstaff, Winslow, Hol- brook, Kingman-au our neighboring cities are leading us in this movement It is hoped that this condition will not continue.

GOOD ENGLISH WEEK

In observance of Good English" Week the school pupils are working comparatively with the teachers with keen enthusiasm which is certain
 to make results of lasting and nota- ble betterment for each and every one. Picturesque posters cleverly il- frustrating the demand for better Eng fish adorn the walls of the school rooms and hall. These are the hand icraft of the talented pupils, Cath erine Miller, Eloise Sullivant, Doris Duffield, Dean Rhyan, Bert Hochgraf, Jose Santa Cruz and Florence Tame hill. Miss B. Hawkins has trained the students in song and Prof. Cure ton and faculty are lending untiring help towards making this week and its wonderful significance a memor- able one. Each day marks the rend- ering of some kind of program in be- half of the cause. Monday, Walter Brant who was dressed to symbolize Language" gave a reading of Miss Dnncan's "Our Language Speaks" /" On Tuesday, the Freshman Highs staged most original representation of the ancient story of the 'Pied Pi- per-" his followers bearing placards of correct and incorrect phrases or of slang, wended their way in and out the school rooms and down the halls, finally gathering up the Bad Eng 1ish'' representatives which were bur- jed and replaced by happy throng of Good English" children.

COUNTRY DOINGS

Rangers Arthur Gibson and Jesse Frost have been using the Forest Service Ford truck in hauling hay to the various ranger stations on the Tu- sayan Forest. The truck has done enough work to wear out just an or dinary truck. This fall, in addition to working the truck days, Rangers Gibson and Frost started to working nights, in order to be able to get over the roads while they were frozen. The truck objected either to this or to working Sundays It just waited until last Sunday evening, when the boys started with load of hay for the Ranger Station at Anita. They were just half way, when the truck disconnected one of it's piston rods and put it through the engine block, and was out of commission. The boys had to walk eighteen miles back to Spring Valley, but as they had seen real service in the U. s. Army over seas, it just seemed like old times.
 The low temperatures that have have seriously injured the potato crop that is still in the ground, in the vii cinity of Williams. Only about half of the potatoes were dug. About half of the undug potatoes are frozen. This is the coldest weather so early in the winter that has been known for years.

ALLISON TAILOR SHOP
 ROBBED MONDAY NIGHT

The tailor shop of W. H. Allison was broken into Monday night and practically the entire stock of cloth / ing was taken away. The loss is esti- mated at $6OO.OO. All the police of ficers in the state have been notified but no clue to the identity of the rob bers has been unearthed.
 7 The time of the robbery was some where between midnight and five a. m. Entrance was made thru a back window. MT. Allison discover ed the loss when he entered his store the following morning. He imnled- a description of the stolen property.
 Among the goods taken were about a dozen suits of mems clothes, shirts, trousers, coats, leather puttees and two suit cases left at the shop by tth- CT parties. Most of these goods were recently put in stock by MT. Allison, but among the suits were a few left awaiting delivery. The less comes as 9 severe blow to Nr. Allison who had recently enlarsc4 his stock in re- snorse to an increasing volume of trade.
 It is thought by some that the rob- bery must have been committed by a band of thieves travelling in an auto mobile. By driving at night these men might have been many miles away by the time the loss was discov- cred.

SANTA FE FIREMAN
 lS RIGHTFUL KING

WINSLOW, Nov. S.-LaSt Sunday the Los Angeles papers gave almost a page to a writeup about Peter J. So- bieski who was a fireman in Winslow on the Albuquerque division until his injury in abuilding accident in Chi cago in 1920. Pete, as he was famil- iarly known to all of us here, often said that he was a Polish prince but few kfiew that he was the hereditary king of Poland, he being lineal de- scendant of John Sobieski, the Farm CT King" of Poland and one of the last monarchs of that country. Pete, in his interview, gave a resume of h:> experiences in the Russian-Japanesc war and his later escape from Rus sian prison after having been taken for spy against the czar. He states that he was offered the throne of Po- land while he was working for the Santa F'e here. His article, interest ing as it is. is not entirely new to all as he liked to reminiscence while he was a resident of this city.
 The Chicago Story
 Following is from the Los Angeles Examiner under Chicago date line
 t'The King of Poland, the man who would wear the historical crown of the ancient kingdom if the hereditary monarchy were restored, is an Amer tcan citizen, an unassuming work ing man.
 What is more, he is content to remain so. No dreams of empire for him. No mysterious plotting of rev. olutions.
 American citizenship is the highest rank he desires, and, having obtained it, he has put from his mind the hope of ermine and scepter.
 Peter Sobieski is the name of the kingdomless king. He lives in Chi cago with his American-born wife and three Americanborn children. He earns $40 week, lives simply, is happy, and is reluctant to even dis cuss his ancient ancestry and present rights.
 ''Peter John Sobieski is the lineal descendant of John Sobieslxi, the Far mer King of Poland, and displays records to prove it. The Farmer King" was the last of the Polish mon- archs, a mighty man in European his tory, whose name thrilled the civil ized world when he drove back the 'hordes of Turks from the very gates of Vienna and saved Europe from the oriental deluge."
 Not for Pete
 While other ex-kings and ex-em- pcrors and busted princes and other scions of royalty are running around Europe looking for a means of re- gaining their thrones or for place to eat, John Peter Sobieski (Pete of Winslow), rightful heir to a throne and lots of trouble, is contentedly living with his family on $40 week in Chicago and telling the whole royal outfit of Europe to go to.

GRAND CANYON|TES GEL
 EBRATE ARMISTlCE DAY

the world at large celebrated the S1gn- ing of the Armistice and the cessation of hostilities. Four years from that date, the residents of Grand Canyon met and opened them up again, but this time it meant a big time and not Big Berthas", High Explosives, "Shrapner' and the two ''Vin" sisters, "Blanc and Rouge".
 The Harvey Recreation Hall was decorated in red, white and blue streamers and vari-colored lights. The service men were all there in uni forms that had been buried beneath the moth balls for quite some time, and the young ladies were dressed in the costume of Red Cross Nurses. Taking it all in all it was a goodly sight for sore eyes, and we must ad init that the young ladies, more than ever, were easy to look at.
 Nearly all the various branches of the service were represented, altho the 70. D." was more in evidence, run a close second by the blue and white of the Navy. From the divisional in signia spotted during the evening, it would be safe to estimate that some fifteen divisions were represented, and the grades ran all the way from Number Four to Rear Rank, or, in other words, our friend "Mr-Buck', to the fellow who rated the High Ball" There was no formality of rank, however, and it was a common sight to see "Mr. Buck" take the part ner away from "Mr. Shave-Tail' in a Tag Dance.
 It reminded many of the boys of the canteen dances and those held in the Hostess Houses throughout the various camps during the war. The only thing lacking, and they were con- spicuous by their absence, were the good old tthobs". If anyone was dec orated during the war, it should have been the ladies who attended the dances given for the benefit of the soldiers, especially after having been stepped all over by a pair of number twelve honest-to-goodness hobnail shoes.
 A very interesting remark, attrib- uted to "Colera" Red Mclean, was overheard the night of the dance. It seems that one of the young ladies had been "spoofed' by one of the boys, to wit, that "Colera' could have been a Major General during the war, but that he turned it down. The young lady in question cornered the sorrel-topped young man, and took him to task for refusing this high po- sition, in preference to that of ''Top- Kick'', and demanded the reason thereof. Replied "Colora"-"Aw, what's the use of bein' Major Gen eraI? There ain't any chance for promotion'' The young lady was sat isfied.
 Almost all the residents of Grand Canyon attended the dance, and at one time, the Hall was so crowded five couples got in the jam, when they separated each had a different part ner. In fact, one of the men put his hand in his pocket to help swell the collection when it was taken and found that he had removed bill from his friends pocket. They sure were crowded.
 The Pinon Nut Orchestra as usual furnished the music, and that in itself means lot. We'd like to see any orchestra in any part of the country that can compare withit, and we are willing to bet the Canyon against any other natural wonder in the world that ours can't be beat.
 Just watch our dust when we give our New Years Dance.

 Systems of awards similar to this have been used in nearly all parts of the United States by Scout Councils but the Grand Canyon Council is the first one to attempt to use it over a large area and to unite so many boys and have them working under one system.s The object of this contest is to increase troop efficiency and loyal ty. Wherever contests of this nature have been used it has greatly in creased interest and activity in Scout ing.
 Plans are being worked out where by the Pioneer Scout, or individual boy living in communities where there are not sufficient boys to form a troop of Scouts may participate in this contest also.
