CAN WILLIAMS AFFORD
 HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING ?
Assessed Valuation Compared with Estimated
 Cost of Building.

Last week the News promised it's readers an article dealing with the approximate cost of the needed high school building and With the com parative cost to the taxpayers
 The approximate cost of suitable building would probably run near $SO,0OO.OO This should prove large enough for the needs of our district for many years to come Flagstaff re, gently voted bonds for $275, 0O.OO to be used in providing that city with high school building but Williams should get along very satisfactor- ily on third of that amount.
 The assessed valuation of Flagstaff school dis trict for the year 1921 was $12, ,0O6, ,582. That of Williams for the year was $7 STA ,S1S. If Williams school district to vote bonds at the same rate that Flagstaff voted, the bonds would total s1sO,OOO. Since it is probable that Williams school district could get along with considerably less than S1OO, ,OOO the levy each taxpayer would be only about half as much on the dollar as that levied by Flagstaff. Williams taxpayers may safely estimate that the cost to them for a high school building will be but about firty per cent of that born by Flagstaff taxpay CTS for a similar purpose. Comparatively, the burden to the taxpayer here will be light.
 Next week the News will endeavor to give some idea as to what sort of building is needed here for high school. Following that and in later issue, will endeavor to work out the cost of the proposed building to the individual taxpayer.

In another column appears press notice of a prediction made by Dr. Milton Albert Nobles who presumes to forecast eruption of Bill Williams Mountain.
 If the professor is far off in his prophecy as he is in his geography, the "thinly populated town roundabout will not need to move out for g few weeks yet. Old Bill is considerably over a hundred miles from the border of Arizona and the worst tempered volcanoes are accustomed to confine their spheres of immediate activity to much smaller distances than that. As for the increased heat in the earth causing warmer eli mate in this section even to the extent that the hot area here has drawn the atmosphere of the central states westward; had you heretofore realized that were enjoying an unusually warm spring? Is it then this unusually warm weather that has been frosting the oats and freezing the gardens down? If Old Bill has been warming up preparatory to activity, why is it that the snow the mountain lay longer this season than for many years? He says Bill has not been on rampage for 300 years. Would not our geologists raise that estimate to three Cor three hundred) thousand years? Anyway the prophet considerable newspaper publicity and that may have been his chief ob- ject- No one out this way is apt to take such a prophecy seriously and start moving out just yet.

The Williams Commercial Club at it's last meeting was of the opinion that the celebration given the Fourth of July last year, was suf- ficient to last for another year. It is not a wise policy for town or any other organization to overdo itself. If the celebration given for three days last year had been divided in three parts and given one day at time for three years. the benefit to the community would have been great er-and all bills might have been paid prompt ly. Nearly year has lapsed since the great three days celebration and still few of the bills incurred at that time have not been paid in full
 Altho the present Commercial Club had no hand in last years celebration be it said to their credit that they have set about to pay off the balance remaining the bills incurred last July. The News was one of those left to hold the sack year ago. We wish to thank the Club for making good payment on our long over due account If all other accounts have been treated in the same manner and we under stand that they have the unpleasant memories which some have been forced to hold regarding that affair, will soon be erased. Tn the absence of a celebration, the Club would hardly do bet ter for this year than to wipe the slate clean from last years jubilee.

FOREST FIRE MONDAY THREATENED LOWELL
 OBSERVATORY PARK

Fire for 8 long time Tuesday afternoon threatened the Low ell Observatory and it was only by the strenuous efforts of 40 men under the direction of L. R. Lessell, chief of the forest service fire forces, that the flames were finally brought 4un- der control.
 The fire started in the woods southwest of the Observatory shortly after noon, from an un- known cause. It was confined entirely to the section of land belonging to the Lowell estate. Fortunately it did not get into the thicker timber, or, consider ing the high wind, it likely would have burned over the entire section, perhaps destroy ing the observatory building, and very likely spreading into the city park and the timber on the John Clark place. Some of the residences far up the side of the hill would have been endangered, also.
 Forest service men and oth- CTS sent by the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co.,, the Flagstaff Lumber Go. and the McGonigle Lumber Go. stayed on the job until the wind died down, when the further spread of the fire was stopped and a guard plac ed to watch while other men hauled water to put out stub born blazeS here and there within the burned area, which extended over about 70 acres.

PRESIDENT HARDING PROHIBITION

When you hear some one trying to beiittle the good results of the eighteenth amendment to the United States Constitution just ponder the words of men of today who are in position to judge the effects of this new law. Below ap- pear few quotations from such men:
 President Harding: Tn every community men and women have had opportunity to know what prohibition means. They know that debts are more promptly paid, that men take home the wages that once were wasted in saloons, that families are better clothed and fed and more money finds its way into the savings

The summer is passing without any move be- ing made to further develop Coleman Lake. The road is being improved to the lake and of course that is the first great essential but 1t Is by no means all. The Lake itself must be fur ther improved if it is to be made attractive place to camp. There two big essentials which are needed at the lake at the present time: a higher dam and more water in the lake. The present dam could be raised a few feet more at comparatively small expense. little ditching to bring extra flow of water could be done at small expense also. Williams is not to celebrate the fourth this year. If the same amount of time that was spent the celebra- tion last year were put into developing the lake this year the needed work could be done and the benefits from it would far outlast those of last years celebration. This matter should not be let drag longer than that.
 Coleman Lake should provide good fishing and boating. The water there gets too low for fish in winter and is never deep enough for really good boating. The improvements sug- gested above would provide sufficient water for both. What will you donate to fund to inn prove the Lake?

 were unable to get small modern houses at a reasonable rental. Williams needs more houses and needs them badly.

Why not build that house which you have been planning, this sun.n,cr?
 You will be able to build economically and you: so doing will help in the great task of restoring confidence n the 1cGustrial world. Build now:
