FORMER JUDGE F. w. PERKINS SEEKS
 NOMINATION AGAIN

Atty. F. w. Perkins, former Iy judge of the Superior Court of Coconino County for a term of seven years, is again a can- didate for the Republican nom ination for judge at the Sep tember primaries.
 MT. Perkins is very we'll known in Williams and vicinity thru his former service as judge of the Superior Court and also as one of the best known attorneys of the county. He has also had a wide business experience and is still connect ed with the livestock industry of the county especially as a sheep grower. He served for many years as Secretary-Treas-- urer of the Arizona Wool Growers Association which of flee he now holds. His resi- dence has been continuously in Flagstaff for the past 19 years altho he has spent some time in Phoenix during the past two years. He was elected to the office of State Representative on the Republican ticket two years ago and spent several months in Phoenix 8 year ago last spring while serving in that office. Some time later he was asked to accept po- sition as Assistant Attorney General during the remainder of the official term. Think ing this would give him an op- portunity to increase his know ledge of legal matters, he ac- cepted and is now helping in the office of the Attorney Gen eral. He believes that his ex- perience in this office coupled with his service as state legis- 1ator have added to his quail fications for the position of Su- perior Judge.
 During his former term as Judge of the Superior Court MT. Perkins established a rec ord for having fewer reversals in the Supreme Court than any other Superior Judge in the state. He has a host of friends turnout the county who are re- sponsible for his entering the race for the judgeship again as he had not anticipated run ming again until urged by them to do so. Having entered the race he will make a special eff fort to meet as many of the electors as possible before cleo tion and will appreciate the support which they may give him. He is strong candidate and one who will give any op- ponent a hard race.

s. O. MILLER FOR
 JUSTICE OF PEACE

s. O. Miller tossed his cap into the political ring this week and is out after the Republican Peace of Williams precinct. s. O. needs no introduction to the people of Williams and vicinity as he is an old time res ident and is one of the most widely known men of the com munity. He has decided views as to how the office of Justice Of the Peace should be conduc- ted and wants it known that if nominated and elected he will make a business of conducting the office efficiently.
 "Yes, Sir", declared MT. Mil Ter when interviewed, eff 1 get the office I will devote my whole time to it and wont be trying to run any business on the side. I will be at my of flee every day and will be found there whenever wanted. I don't boast of having made any great financial success in business for myself but I have always rendered good service wherever I have been employed and I am sure that 1 can give the county good service in the office of Justice of the Peace. There is an advantage in hav- ing a man for a public office who has not made a big fnan- cial success elsewhere for if he has he will be continually neg lecting his office and looking after his private business. That is the substance of stSam's" platform. He talks like he means what he says and what he says sounds good. As for politics, he is a republican and is out for the Republican nomination at the September primaries.

J. s. BUTTON CANDIDATE FOR REPUBLICAN
 NOMINATION

Judge" J. s. Button an- nounces his candidacy for the Republican Nomination for Justice of the Peace of Will Hams precinct. While he is not now officially judge, the public persists in calling him judge and that being the case, he asks, why shouldn't the voters make him judge in fact, once more. MT. Button is now we'll enough along in years that he is not able to take a job that carries with it hard and regular labor but his physical strength would be fully equal to the work of the office of Justice of the Peace.
 MT. Button was elected to the office of Justice of the Peace four years ago and made a good race for the office two years ago. From the encour- agement which he is receiving he believes that he will be able to make a yet stronger race this year. He wishes it under stood that the only work he will try to do in addition to per forming the duties of Justice of the Peace, in case he is elected, will be undertaking work which takes but little of his time and would not interfere with his giving full attention to the office of Justice.
 J. s. Button is one of the oldest residents of Williams and has always been one of the highly respected citizens of the town. He has a large number of friends who insist that he is entitled to another term in of flee and who will give him their hearty support at the coming primary. ::..

WILLIAM WOODBRIDGE
 HOCHGRAEF

Williams w WOOQf1Qgo hOcn- graef,a resident of Williams for a number of years, died at the Benham ranch Monday July 24, as a result of tubercu- losis. He had made deter mined and courageous fight against this disease and seemed to be improving until but a few hours before his death. Due to his feeling better than usual, he tried to throw a calf which some cowboys were going to brand and this unusual eXer- ton brought on a hemorrhage which was the direct cause of his death.
 The Funeral services held at the Methodist Church on Thurs day afternoon were conducted by Rev. Lowe. Following the services interment was made in the local cemetery.
 Williams Woodbridge Hoch- graef was born in Detroit, Mich, in July 15, 1881. He lived there until fifteen years ago when at the age of 25 he came west. He went first to Portland, Oregon, where he met and married Miss Mary Rigg. After several years spent in Oregon and short stay in Southern California, MT. and Mrs. Hochgraef and children came to Williams which has since been their home. One of the reasons for MT. Hochgraef's coming to Will liams was the hope of benefit ing his health. He was em- ployed as telegraph operator at the Western Union Telegraph until recently when he gave up that work and had accepted an offer to trap predatory animals for the Perkins and Bankhead stock companies and was pre- pairing to start on a trapping expedition when his end came

MRS. ADELAIDE WATSON

 ed away at her home here Sat urday morning, July 22, after a severe illness of several weeks. Mrs. Watson had not been very well for a number of years, her advancing age weighing more and more heav- fly upon her, but her loved ones hoped up to the last that they might be able to stay the hand of death for yet a few years longer and keep this loving soul with them. She breath ed her last only two months be- fore her seventy-seventh birth day.
 The funeral service was con- ducted Tuesday afternoon at the Parish House by Rev. H. H. Gillies. Interment was made at the local cemetery. The large and beautiful floral offer ings attested the high esteem and love which the community held for this kind and loving mother gone to her reward.
 Mrs. Adelaide Watson was born in Prince Edward County, Canada, September 20, 1945. Her parents soon moved to the United States and during the remainder of her life she lived continuously in this country. Her girlhood was spent along the Hudson, at Rochester. It was here that she met and mar ried MT. Watson. Later they moved to Bay City, Michigan, where they resided until twelve years ago when Mrs. Watson and two childrnn came to Will Hams shortly after the death of MT. Watson. The son, Roy Watson, then young man grown, secured a position with the Saginaw & Manistee Lum- Der Company and rapidly rose to yard foreman. The daugh- ter, Miss Minnie Watson, is head of the Manual Training department of the Williams schools.
 Mrs. Adelaide Watson was a natural home maker always welcoming friends and neigh bors to her hearth and making them comfortab there. This was her sphere and she de- lighted in it. Her pleasant, cheerful disposition won her a host of friends who always felt welcome at the Watson home. She held the place of high adoration in the hearts of her children which is the coveted goal of every true mother and they fondly hoped that her life might be spared yet a few years longer that they might have her with them altho she had already passed the allotted three score and ten. She had been affiliated with the Episco- pal Church from her childhood and was a conscientious and un- tiring worker. Her death marks the passing on of kind and loving soul and her loss is greatly felt by all who knew her.

WARD PLEASES
 WILLIAMS AUDIENCE

The political campsi1,n in Coconino County openci last Friday night at the s5ultana- Theatre, when a large a2d very interested audience was ad- dressed by Hon. Charles B. Ward, Democratic candidate for Governor.
 In opening his address Mr. Ward entered into an expla- nation of the conditions which led the Democratic State Central Committee to call a precinct primary election for the selection of delegates to attend the Tucson conference, where a state ticket was selec- ted to be placec before the Democratic voters of the state for their approval at the forth coming primary election to be held in September. Every possible phase of this matter was amply and ably discussed by Mr. Ward.
 Discussing state affairs, MT. Ward brought forth loud shout of laughter and applause when he asked if the people of Williams recalled the vehem- ent denunciation the states possession of single automo- bile brought forth four years ago, and compared that con- dition with the present, when state cars are hardly able to find parking space around the capitol grounds. Evidently encouraged by this sally at promised Republican "econ- omy", MT. Ward entered into a lengthy discussion of state finances and taxation. He made many friends by his state ment that, while he would not promise to do it all by himself, but if elected he would exert his every effort and the use of his influence to repair the one and reduce the other.
 In closing, MT. Ward re- viewed his services to his par ty in the state. How in 1918: he had been importuned to become a candidate for Gov ernor, and again in 1920; how he refused those fattering so- icitations and went forth to support the party nominees; how he refused to become a candidate for the recommen- dation for Governor by the Tucson conference, but that despite his efforts to avoid it, the conference endorsed him anyhow: that. having received this endorsement at the hands of a duly constituted and rep resentative body of members of his party, he felt it to be his duty to abide by it's decision.
 MT. Ward is a pleasing and forceful speaker. He made many friends here by his ad- dress, and it is safe prediction that there will be no disposition to challenge" him for a joint discussion of state affairs from any source whatever.

Sportsmen will be cheered by the
news that the long looked for uight
of wild ducks from the Dakotas and
western Minnesota has begun and
that within a few days the birds will
be IN evidence in the Mississippi river
bottoms.
The flight proper started a week
ago, according to Harry Anderson,
United States game warden, in charge
of the Dubuque district. He received
word from Dakota and Minnesota Off
Gals that the flight had started. The
change in weather conditions may
bring the fowl to this vicinity by Sat

Reports from Lansing and La
Crosse are to the effect that the flight
is being noticed at the present time,
although not great many ducks are
being killed. The migration has been
delayed this fall and, in consequence,
it is expected the flight will cover only
short period.-Times Journal.
