rapid when we learned of President
Harding's death forty-fiye minutes af-
ter it. occurred"
Roger Birdseye, who went to Grand
Canyon Friday with a carload Of
fresh supplies for the party, helped
transfer them to mules and then help
ed take the mules down the Hance
trail to the river, 20 miles away. He
SAYS that when the surveying party
reached the foot of the trail, Messrs.
Kolb, Lint and Drake walked all the
way to the rim, arriving late at night.
Dick Gilliland took them in his car
TO Ell Tovar.
When the fresh supplies reached the
boats, all the boats were unloaded and
the stuff was portrayed around Hance
rapids. Then the perilous. passage
through the rapids was made by the
boatman, all going through safely but
with a very narrow margin. The riv-
er is very high, unusual for this time
of the year, and frequently changes
level as much as two feet, sometimes
two or three times day.
DIR. Moore, state geologist of Kan
sas, who is with the river party, al
ways picks out nice rocky place to
sleep. A few nights ago he followed
the custom. He got up few minutes
and upon lying down half-hour la
ter heard a rattler sing right beside
his ear. He moved with abandon and
dispatch. E. G. LaRue, chief hydrau-
lie engineer forz the u. S. geological
survey, grabbed flashlight and went
to the help of his compadre. Larue
killed the snake, then swore it had
80 rattles and button.
The party is expected to reach the
foot Of Bright Angel trail next week.

ed to parents with pupils of high
school age. This will give both par
ent and pupil an opportunity to exam
Inc the courses of study offered and
viii eventually lead to more intelli-
gent selection of work. The course of
study as outlined complies with the
standard set for accredited schools in
the state OF Arizona and will compare
quite favorably with the courses of
fered by the best high schools in our
country. A close examination of the
work offered in our local high schools
will mean considerable economy with
out sacrificing educational advantages
to those who are planning to have
their children attend high school in
other localities.

WILLIAMS TO DEVELOP
GREATER WATER SUPPLY

Martin B. Startzman, city clerk and
police Judge of Williams, was in Flag
staff last Friday conferring with
county officials relative to city tax and
other matters. Mr.. Startznan is en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of a
complete supply of good water for
Williams. The report Of the firm Of
Burns & Mcdonnell, nationwide ex-
perts on water systems and the de
velopnent Of water supply, will be
made to the city council soon. 1t is
expected that a definite decision will

port and that work on a big city dam
will soon be on the way. The people
of Williams have awakened to the idea
that no city can progress without a
good supply of water.

CHILD KILLED BY AUTO
TRUCK MONDAY AT JEROME


The life of little James Sullivan,
four-year-old child Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jerry Sullivan and grandson OF
John M. Sullivan of the Sullivan ho-
tel, was ground out Monday afternoon
beneath the wheels of an automobile
driven by Harry Bross, son of Sam
Bross.
The end was merciful as the little
fellow was in a state of complete
shock when he was carried by W. G.
Buell. to the United Verde hospital inn
mediately after the accident, and he
lived less than two hours and died
without suffering. An immediate ex-
animation made at the hospital dis
closed that the liver was ruptured and
that there was no possible hope of re-
covery.-Jerome News.

preciated at N. A. N. S. and both he

teemed. 1t is sincerely hoped that
