BULLETIN

With the close of the annual convention of the National Park-toPark Highway Associa- tion recently held in Sacramen- to, California, comes the good news that the delegates there gathered resolved thru resolu- tion No. 13 that ''it is the sense of this convention that the in tegrity of the principle of a single routing should be main tained."
 By this resolution the con- vention re-affrmed our position in the definite location of the National Park-to-Park High way as made at the First an- nual convention in 1920 with out change in routing or change in policy.
 This is evidence that the As sociation is permanent and not subject to change by every shift of the wind, and should remove all fear of any change in the routing. It may be ex- pected that, having stood the test of these years, no change will ever take place. This will no doubt give encourage ment to county and state High way Departments in complet- ing the sections of the Master Scenic Highway of America not yet completed. As further evidence that Williams is for tunate in being on this great Highway, the following state ment made by w. B. Lewis, Supt. of Yosemite Park and per sonal representative of MT. Stephen T. Mather, Director of National Park Service, the man who first proposed connecting all western parks with one good highway, may be interesting

L. w. Cureton Struck by Lightning

MT. l.. w. Cureton who was struck by lightning a week ago Sunday, is now quite we'll re- covered from the shock. MT. Cureton was riding a horse when he was struck. His at tention was drawn to a bright fash over his head. He saw the electric flash seemingly end in a ball a hundred feet or so above his head. After an in- stant's hesitation this ball burst into dozen or so small electric prOngs which reached out in as many different directions. One of these struck MT. Cureton in the temple. Both he and the horse were dazed by the shock. Mir. Cureton dismounted and did not attmpt to continue the Journey for an hour or so.
 The above happened in the morning. In the afternoon MT. Cureton was able to be about and he worked Monday and part of Tuesday. The bad eff fects of the shock did not come on until Tuesday night, altho he felt very sore an dbad1y bruised on the preceding days. Wed. Thursday. and Friday he was very seriously ill. On Saturday he began to improve and on Sunday he was able to leave his bed and walk about a little. He is now quite well re- covered.
 Some blessings come badly disguised. MT. Cureton had nearly lost the sight of his left eye The severe electric shock which he received restored this.

MISS BERTHA PEET
 MARRIED AT HOME

w lllldIIlS lIlSHuS dIlo 1Cl6 tives of Miss Bertha Peet, were pleasantly surprised this week upon receiving cards announc- ing the marriage of Miss Peet to Frank Edward Donaldson, of Chalmers, Indiana, on Wednes- day, June 2S. The wedding took place at the home of Miss Peet's mother, Mrs. Julia Spencer Peet, in Montisella, Ind. It was a quiet home aff fa 1T with only the parents of the bride and groom present. The ceremony was conducted by ian church in Montesella.
 Miss Peet was in charge of music in the Albuquerque schools for the past two years but she still looked upon Will Hams as her home, due to her long residence here. Not even her closest friends had had an inkling of the happy event un- til the arrival of the announce ments.
 During her several years of school work in Williams, Miss Peet was a great favorite with all the school children. She was of sunny and jolly dispo- sition which fitted in perfectly with her musical instruction and made the children feel like singing. Her decision to ac- cept a position in Albuquerque came as a great disappointment to the school children of Will Hams.
 In addition to her school work Miss Peet was always ready to help out with any pro- grams or public entertainments which could be benefited by vocal music of her own or from the school children led by her. Her talents were always at the command of the public and were a great help at commun- ity gatherings. ..
 Outside of school Miss Peet made only friends and all were disappointed at losing her from the Williams school. All join in extending her best wishes and in congratulating the lucky man who persuaded her to can eel her teaching contract and sign up the one putting her in charge of his home. Mrs. Don aldSon is so we'll known to News readers that it is unnec- essary except with a few new corners, to add that she is Mrs. B. J. Nordyke's sister.
 MT. and Mrs. Donaldson will spend the summer in their sum- mer cottage on the historic Tip pecanoe, after wrich they will be at home at Chalmers, Ind.
 Mrs. A. M. Root is entertain ing tonight (Friday) in honor of her sister, Miss Evelyn Me Mutt.

ASK FOR DEVELOPMENT
 OF DIAMOND CREEK

Phoenix, July GA resolu-: ton urging the Federal Power Commission to grant J. B. Grand final papers on his ap- plication for power rights at Diamond Creek on the Colo rado River, passed unanimous ly by the board of directors of the Arizona Industrial Congress has been sent by wire to Presi- dent Harding, members of the Power Commission, and other officials in Washington.
 The resolution sets forth that as there is little possibility of the federal governments de- veloping the Colorado River in the immediate future, and as a power unit at Diamond Creek will not interfere with the gov ernment's plan. MT. Grand and his associates should be permit ted to go ahead with their pro ject, which will mean cheap power for the states industries. The resolution, which follows, also has been sent to the Ari- zona members of Congress Resolution Adopted.
 PREAMBLE
 We believe that there is no possibility of obtaining from the Federal Government immediate aid for the development of the Colorado River and we believe that time is one of the most inn portant elements in this deveE opment-
 We are informed that J. B. Grand has complied with all the regulations of the State and Federal Governments in his ap- plication for building a power dam at Diamond Creek, and is now awaiting the final approval of the Federal Power Commis- sion, which is withholding it's approval due to representations from California.
 We are informed that MT. Grand and those backing him are willing to start work i'm medlate1y so that power may be developed and delivered te Arizona within three years. The Grand project will not in cIS1tIc "lCu CIt0 government plan of constructing a dam at either Boulder Canyon or Lees Ferry.
 We need power. We have neither coal nor oil and consid- ering the advantages to all of the industries and tax payers of Arizona, we believe there can be no sound objection to allow ing this unit project to be built.
 BE TT RESOLVED THERE FORE, That the Arizona Indus trial Congress representing the industries and tax payers of Arizona, urge the Federal Pow CT Commission to grant immedi- ately, to J. B. Girand, final pa per in his application for pow CT rights at Diamond Creek on the Colorado River, as this policy is considered fair and equitable, and to the best ad- vantages of the people. of Ari- ZOna.
