 Hams was not on the map A.
 years ago, but the land now in
 cluded in the present townsite
 was here as was also the con
 tributing territory. It is o1
 these that the writer would
 speak. The editor is indebted
 to MT. and Mrs. Fred Holder
 for the names and descriptions
 appearing below. Mrs. Hol-
 den lived near Williams at that time, and MT. Holden came shortly afterward.
 Forty-fve years ago takes us back to 1877. Mrs. Holden then Mrs. Johnson, came to this part of the state in 1877
 with her husband, Captain Johnson. They settled on a ranch in Johnson's Canyon. The Canyon had no name when they moved there, but it was from MT. and Mrs.Johnson that the Canyon took it's name and it is still known by that name. It is down this Can yon that the Williams-Ash Fork road passes.
 The other residents in this section of the country were few and widely separated. but more of them anon. What of Will Hams?
 Where Williams now stands was a forest of virgin pine. In appearance it was much like any of the few heavily timbered pine flats still to be found around Bill Williams and par ticulariy to the south of the mountain. This timber ex- tended across what is now the Santa Fe railroad and covered much of the land now em braced in the Scott estate and it's sub- divisions and also in the Phelan and Perrin ranches. Thru this io-ost were only pack horse trails. Tn. Santa Fe Trail, fc:fowed latcr by the Santa Fe railway, skirted the north edge of the trees and passed on to the westward taking a route some distance north of the pres e.lt Williams-Ash Fork road.
 This forest like those on all sides Of the mountain was filled with deer and was the home of great ffocks ef wild turkey during the summer months. Other wild game was plentiful and bear and mountain lion found it hunting paradise.
 The civilization of the Latin race had not penetrated into this land of dense forest. Ind ians had hunted here but they too had chosen the country to the south, east and north for homes, in preference to this land of deep snow and cold weather during the winter months.
 A few cattle and sheep men had made their way into these parts but they were indeed few and their ranches were widely The country to the south and east of the mountain was quite well supplied with water but that to the north and west was an uninhabited desert | where water which was occas- ionally supplied by rains dis quickly.
 But little space is needed to list the stockmen then located l in the vicinity. Neamiah Gull l lum was located on what is now i the M. c. Ranch; Wm. Stewart i was at Bear Springs; Wm. | Crowell had headquarters at Bear Springs and Garland & 1 Ross with the largest outfit in the country, had a ranch house | near the present site of the Sanders Ranch.
 There were no forest bound ries to trouble the cattlemen TO grazing fees, and limiting permits. Prescott was the

Gotham Women Sell Misft Presents at Bargain Sale.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-A bargain party for the exchange Of undesired Xmas presents was held last night at the wo- mems City Club. It was a merry party and everybody got rid of their misfit gifts. This trading scheme when first pro- posed by the women who main tained that Santa Claus was human and liable to mista kes, drew loud protests from senti- mental folks but cold practica- bility won.
 The election of Senator New berry is conceded to have cost his campaign committee over S25O,OOO If it takes S250,- 900 to elect a senator, what chance has an honest man of small means in running for such an office? It Is plain to see that in such case a poor man would be forced either to ac- cept defeat, or to make this election the price to some man who possessed the means.

WILLIAMS TODAY
THE LATEST AND BEST
 AT THE SULTANA

There are many privatlons
 and inconvenience attached tC
 life in a small town. Many o1
 these are due to the small mum,
 Der of people that there are in
 the community, to patron1ze
 those who would offer the com
 forts and conveniences common
 to larger cities. One of the
 privations quite common to the small town is the lack of good
 motion pictures. As a general rule towns the size of Williams receive but a low grade of pie lures and even these after they are quite old. However Will Hams is not in that class, thanks to the enterprising manager of the Sulana Theatre, MT. R. M. Reese.
 One may attend the Sultana Theatre any night in the week with the assurance that good OlcCuT0 IS OH. IN O11S IlIS II class pictures are ever shown there. In addition to this the very best of motion pictures featuring greatest motion pie ture actors and actresses of the day, are presented at frequent intervals, promptly after they are released. As a matter of fact, if one will follow the theatre ads. in any large city, he will be surprised every now and then to see a theatre there featuring some picture that was presented in Williams some time before.
 One striking example of the above was given recently by some Williams people who wis ited Los Angeles. While there they decided to take in a pie ture show one evening, expect ing to see something fresher than they were accustomed to enjoy at home. What was their surprise upon entering the theatre, to find that they had seen the picture showing there, several weeks before at the Sultana.
 In addition to providing new and high class pictures as a reg ular rule, MT. Reese has made one other provision for the en- tertainment of the theatres pat rons, which is particularly worthy of note. There is a great deal of satisfaction in the thought that any night one chooses he may drop in at the Sultana and see good film. There is no surer way of mak- ing the visit of a friend from out of town, pass pleasantly. How many ever stop to think that, due to the uncertainty of trains there are many times when the regular nightly pie ture could not be given, if the daily express were always de pended upon? MT. Reese has made generous provision for the failure of trains and express packages to arrive on time. He carries a three days supply of | high grade films ready to sub- in case of the scheduled | feature fails to reach town in time. While he is seldom | called upon to use this reserve l he insists upon keeping the SUD- ply on hand in order that his patrons may be spared the dis of sometime com | ing to the theatre only to find | that there is no picture for the | night.
 When it comes to the mat ter of picture shows, no one need make any apology for the of the town. The | Sultana keeps right up with the times and refuses to be out classed even by cities many times larger.
