jocular way the speaker reefrrcd
to the remark of a friend as to her

His response was that if Methodism

the world would have been evan

MAY COMPLETE WORK
 0N OLD BOYCE LAKE

There is considerable talk about town, of getting together and completing Boyce's Lake. Only old timers know where that lake is situated, and yet it is only a few miles from Will Hams and would make a won derful summer resort if com pleted.
 In the early days of Williams MT. c. E. Boyce headed a com pany which constructed a ditch from the upper part of Dog Town Wash to Dry Lake, north east of Williams on the Flag staff road. These men had it figured out that by turning that wash into the dry lake, large body of water with a depth of about seventeen feet could be formed. This water would have an elevation of about two hundred feet above the town and would make it possible to bring the water to town by gravity flow. The ditch was nearly completed when the men went before the Town council and asked for a franchise per mitting them to bring the water to town and sell it. TheTown Council refused their request. There was nothing left for the men to do but to drop their en- terprise, which they did.
 There is some talk now of

completing the ditch and filling the lake regardless of wheth- CT the water can be sold to the town or not. Such a lake SC close to town would be a great asset to the community. What a great fishing and summer re- sort that would make.
 It is also possible that the town and the Santa Fe may find that this project possesses pos abilities for developing the wa ter so much needed by both. Engineer Mcdonald will go ov- CT this proposition along with all others upon his return from Chicago.
 However if Boyce Lake would not prove satisfactory as Q source of water for the city, the development of that body of water would be great ben eft to the community. It would make a delightful summer re- sort. With the ditch already nearly complete, it would take but a comparatively small in vestment to make a fine big lake.

<Pistol Toting" Seen as American Curse by Magistrate

New York. Sept. 16.-Chief Magistrate William McAdoo, spea king before the internat- ional police conference today, called the carrying of pistols 'Ethe curse of America.
 There are more persons who carry pistols in New York and Chicago than in the whole of Europe" he said, "and it is in dealing with the free sale and use of firearms that the police find their greatest problem.
 He declared there was no more crime prevalent in this country than in Europe, but that Americans living in a young country, acted on young impulses, to which pistols made an unfortunate adjunct.

ONCE YOUNGEST NOW
 OLDEST LEGISLATOR

$. B. Gilliland appoi2*ad d to
 ill out the unexpired tern of F.
 w. Perkins, in the state fegisla- ture, following the resi-. n ation.
 of MT. Perkins last ye:Sr, was, the oldest legislator in the house at the last special ses- sion. Nearly fifty years ago he enjoyed the distinction of be- ing the youngest member of the house of the state of Iowa. He served two terms in that legisla- ture. He is a veteran of the. Civil War and a thorough pa triot. While he is no longer a young man and is slightly crip- pied in one foot, he is by no means crippled in his mind, as shown by the record which he made, in the legislature.
 His friends say of him that he was sent to the legislature un- der difficulties but brought home the goods. When he en- tered the house the Northern Arizona Normal was threaten ed. An effort was under way to cut the appropriation to that institution. MT. Gi1liland claims the credit for having prevented a reduction in the appropria- t1on for the normal and also got an appropriation for the arm ory at Flagstaff, along with oth- CT progressive work.
 Judge" GiIli1and, as he is familiarly known, spent two days in Williams the first of this week and made good inn pression among the voters. He says that he will pay another visit to Williams later and hopes to meet those voters whom he failed to meet on his first visit. He appreciates the good vote given him at the pri- maries and solicits the support of all the voters at the election 7th.

SCHOOL NEWS

This week the Williams sen for or regular high school en- rolled two more students mak- ing total enrolment of 51 which is the same number that was enrolled for the whole term last year. The two mem bers for the week are J. Y. Dowdy and Ora Conway. MT. Dowdy is from the Liberty Ari- zona schools and is a member of our freshman class. We are glad to welcome MT. Dowdy to our school as he has already shown himself an earnest stud ent. MT. Conway has been a student in our schools for number of years and needs no introduction. His parents now live in Prescott but his fondness for the Williams high school brought him back here.
 A number of the boys are learning the foot ball game for the first time ,this year, and we hope to put on a game or two here before the season closes.
 The high school girls glee club is making fine progress- The high school boys are also organizing for a glee club.
 The grade rooms have added several pupils during the week and some of them are crowded But there is always room for one more, so if any patron knows of a child of school age living in Williams, who is not attending school, that patron will do the child as we'll as the school a favor by reporting it to the school
 The school from the first thru the twelve grades has an excel lent start this year and with the i fine cooperation of the patrons, this term can be made to excel | last year which, no doubt, was the best year the Williams school has ever experienced.

COUNTRY DO|NGS

Get ready boys for the next i big country barn dance, at the w. E. Morgan ranch, on Gar
 land Prairie, OF Saturday night
 October 7th, where there will
 be a masquerade. Start get
 ting your costume ready and
 make your plans for the big
 night. There's no excuse for
 not getting a girl when you can hide your face behind a mask. w. L. (BilD Hostetter, of
 Garland Prairie, started to
 drive his-team, hitched to a
 light spring wagon, to Flagstaff last week. In starting down the hill west of Branigan Park, Bill evidently turned on a little too much gas, for the horses started to run away. When they reached the bottom of the hill, the traces came unfasten- ed. The horses went one way, and the wagon and Bill the oth- CT. The tongue ofthe wagon broke, and Bill found himself lying in the road, somewhat bruised, but otherwise unhurt. The horses were finally found, one of them in Government Prairie, and the other at Maine The spring wagon is still along side the road, waiting for a new tongue.
 The Garland Prairie school house now has a fine well of water. Water was struck at a depth of 27 feet in solid rock.
 J. V. Fisher, who is an old timer about here, and who has been living at Fillmore, Calf. for the past two years, is here for a few days, visiting friends and acquaintances.
 Bankhead and Henderson started last Sunday to- dip their sheep at their ranch at Nevin.
 Bob Kennedy, who owns the | ranch alongside the highway 3 miles west of Maine, has been eating cantaloupes from his garden. Bob's ranch by some good fortune, seems to be i'm nune from frost, and he is thus i able to raise better garden stuff i and more of it, than at most any other location around here. 50 far as known, Bob is the only person around here who has succeeded in raising cantaloup- IS. It is thought that Bob made a dicker with Jack Frost. whereby Jack will not nip any if his crops until the snow flies md the growing season is past.

 ond point the Judges asked the opinion of Assistant Attorney General F.W. Perkins. He gave them an off hand opinion which. they accepted and used to govern the election. In ac- cepting that opinion did they not thereby rule according to that opinion? In our judge ment the acceptance or rejec- tion by that board of an opinion of Perkins or any other attorney constituted ruling on their part. What is your opinion, News Reader? We see no need of the News making a correction on that point.

O1SneO, R. NJ. REESE GEO. w. MATHEWS

NOTE: Is the above a cor.
 rection? The gentlemen make
 no denial of having overridden
 the decision of the Attorney
 General. No doubt they are
 perfectly sincere in their state
 ments that their ruling did not
 cut off one single vote, but they
 are not fully informed. That
 ruling did cut off three votes to the personal knowledge of the Editor and probably cut off many more. The three re- ferred to on hearing that such
 a ruling had been made did not go to the polls. We under stand perfectly well that the intention of the ruling on the part of some individuals-not the judges-was to prevent the editors voting, aye it was whispered to us even before the day of the election that such was to happen, and these judges did deny ye editor the chance to vote on his tax receipt for 1921 taxes because that re- ceipt was dated 1922. This was one vote cut off by the judges on that ruling, altho the same voter cast his ballot later on another receipt dated 1921, much to the disappointment of The Ponderous. We see no need of a correction on that point, do you kind read CT?
 Now for point the second. These judges did not like the ruling of the Attorney General on point one so they ruled against it., altho. that was written opinion: carefully pre- pared by theOfice of the At-1 torney General and concugTed.

Baler Hard Riding.

F. s. Herr has traded his automobile for a hay baler and there are times when he would like mighty we'll to have that auto back-for instance when he wants to get to town and back in a hurry. He says that he finds the baler mighty slow and also rough riding when he tries to get over rhe road. but on the other hand he found pre- viously that the auto was even less efficient when it came to baling hay. Is consideration of the fact that he has a lot of hay to bale, he concluded that it would be better to bump along the roads to let the rain spoil the hay.
