Telegraphic Improvement Last month for the first' time in the history of long submarine ca-bles communication was carried on between New York and London over the Mackay commercial cable by dots and dashes and the Morse code as used on all land wires. Sine? the first cable was laid across the Atlantic in 1858 communication has been slow, and receiving was usually accomplished by aid of a long strip of paper tape upon which the ts and dashes appeared in an irregular and wavy line. The above remarkable achievement was ruade possible by an invention of John Gott, chief electrician of the Mackay cables. For years cable electricians have endeavored to perfect a system whereby receiving by sound on Atlantic cables could be accomplished, but none succeeded until Mr.

Gott perfected the almost impossible. Monday of this week another seemingly impossible feat was accomplished when the Postal-Tele- ni Delivered Every Morning the Year Round Leave orders with Babbitt-Poison Company W. H. TALK. ScJiaaiicr Marx graph-Cable Co.

built up a continu ous wire connection from San Francisco to London, nearly 8000 miles, through their repeater stations at Williams, La Junta, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Memphis, New York, Boston and Canso, Nova Scotia. "At Canso the London commercial cable was connected to the land wire and direct communication be twecn San Francisco and Ixndon was maintained for a considerable length of time and many cablegrams were exchanged between the two offices in as rapid a manner as though the entire circuit was the usual transcontinental aeriel wire. It is the intention of the company to operate this circuit several hours daily to accommodate the heavy cable business from the coast to European points on account of the San Francisco exposition. Hunting Licenses Anyone desiring hunting licenses for the j-ear 1913 can get them at the office of Attorney Geo. W.

Har-ben without the expense of a trip to Flagstaff on payment of the following fees: For each general license to residents, 50 cents. For each big game license, nonresident, $25.00. For each big game license, alien, $100.00. For each bird license, non-resident, $10.00. For each bird license, alien, $10.

The Rev. Joseph Lyons Meade will conduct services at the Parish house on next Monday evening. Under a new law enacted by con gress, approved by the president February 13, 1913, to break the seal of a railway car containing in terstate shipments of freight, express or baggage, or to steal or attempt to steal any such shipments from a car, depot, depot platform, steamboat or wharf, is a very se rious offense, punishable by a fine of not more than $5000 or by im prisonment in the penitentiary not longer than ten years, or by Troth such fine and imprisonment. Persons who knowingly purchase stolen interstate shipments or who transport such shipments from one state to another, shall be deemed equally guilty with the thief and punished in the same manner. Cases of this character will be prosecuted in the federal courts.

It is expected that the new law will materially aid the authorities in effectually breaking up the organized gangs of freight car thieves which operate in various parts of the country. Oak Creek Echoes Fred Croxen, the ranger, left Friday for Flagstaff to join Co, I of that place. The company there leaves for Tucson for a few days rifie practice. John and Wright Clark, Lewis Withrow and Dick Mason were Jerome visitors last week. The pupils who were kept from school owing to the high water are now able to cross the creek again.

Ed Murphy was thrown from his horse Tuesday of last week and sustained a cut hand and several other bruises. Frank Owenby and Ed Murphy were in the Devil's Kitchen last Thursday and the hideous buzz of the rattlesnakes caused them to move out in a hurry. Coconino county heeds the appeal of the southern tax payers and an immense force of men are improving the best traveled road in the state. Those employed are John Loy, aged about 60; Elisha Loy, aged about 64; Dave Loy, 40, and Al- Prescott, cook. This force will surely be able to get the roads in fine condition from Sedona to Flagstaff.

From what we understand there will be more money in the road fund than ever this year and that's the way we, the taxpayers and sufferers in this end of the county are to be salved over. Flagstaff is shipping in three cars of automobiles to be used around town and to and from Williams. All money must go to make boulevards for the automobiles, while the best traveled road in Arizona, over which 75 per cent of Flagstaff's overland travel passes, must lie in neglect. When twenty-five to thirty men and ten or twenty teams are placed on automobile roads around town to spend the thousands of dollars appropriated to them by the forest service and the county, while two or three aged men are placed on the southern roads- to spend the meal ticket given the southern part of the county. We are all taking note of this, Coconino county and Flagstaff, and thank you for your kindness, your principle and your farsightedness.

Charley Burkes, the well-known stockman, received on Tuesday a carload of mules which he had purchased over in New Mexico. There were thirty head in the shipment. They were taken to the Buggeln corral and on Wednesday Mr. Burkes sold six span of the animals, Mar tin Buggeln purchasing one span for $600. Deputy Sheriff Frank Fairchild was down from the county seat on Tuesday, bringing a prisoner down to be given a hearing before Judge Rounseville.

Another ten inches of snoT to gladden the heart of the tourist and rancher. Wade and Ritter are building a dam for Ike Smith about five miles west of the Grand Canyon railroad, on the road to Supai village. Cecil Dodd has taken the Little Rain land as a homestead and is now making extensive improvements. Several locations for homesteads in this section will be made as soon as spring opens, and the new settlers will experiment on crop raising of various kinds. Forest Ranger Hicock is on quite an extended trip in the southern portion of the state.

A party of mining men paid a visit to the Supai village during the early part of this month, and another party under the guidance of Ralph Cameron spent a few days in looking over the mining district down the Bright Angel trail about the same time. The protracted storms have resulted in several cases of sore throat and heavy colds and the growing demand for a resident physician becomes more apparent every day. A petition for this necessity would be vastly more popular among the residents than the one referred to in your last issue, asking for a deputy sheriff for this district. That is a railroad proposition, pure and simple, and does not contain the names of any of the independent Canyon residents. Criminals are almost an unknown quantity in the precincts.

The good roads convention of the Santa Fe Grand Canyon-Needles National association will be held here some time in May if present plans prevail. Prospects for heavy tourist travel in machines to the Canyon this summer are very encouraging and no time should be lost in getting to work on road building in this part of the county. Good roads insure increased population and we will never get county division until we get the votes, and the many thousand acres of farm lands in the proposed county of Hunt will accomplish this result and no mistake. Any measure for the sale of school land suitable fur agriculture to others than actual settlers, who will improve and develop it, is sure to retard our future prosperity. The passage of the Lever bill, providing for the leasing of the public "do main, is another infamous scheme to give capital a firmer grip on our undeveloped resources.

Easter at the Parish House Although Sunday was an exceedingly disagreeable day, one of the largest congregations ever assembled in Williams greeted Bishop J. H. Atwood, of Phoenix, at the Episcopal Parish house for the Easter services. Bishop Atwood' address from the text "He is Risen," was probably one of the ablest ever in Williams. Special music had been prepared by the large choir and afforded one of the enjoyable features of the occasion.

Gounod's old familiar, but ever beautiful "Praise Ye the Lord," was especially well rendered. Under the leadership of Mrs. McDonald Robinson the music at the Epis-copol church is becoming an attraction. Bishop Atwood was particularly complimentary of the choir after the services last Sunday, and prononnced it one of the best choirs in the state. Mrs.

Ella Rawlin-Tate, of Anaheim, arrived in Williams last week for In extended visit with her brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Stone. Mrs. Tate was a former resident of Williams.

Phoenix, March 24. The bill to create a game preserve in Coconino county was defeated today by the following vote: Ayes, Babbitt, Ball, Bradner, Buchanan, Cro-croft, Drennan, Duncan, Graham, Hall, Jones, Kelton, Kerr, Moore of Pima, Mr. Speaker 14. Nay, Barker, Brooks, Cocke, Curry, Ellis, Gonzales, Irvine, Jacobs, Jacob-son, Johnson, Kane, Lewis, Lynch, Maddock, Mattox, Moore of Yavapai, Murphy, Saxon, Whipple, Wren 20; excused, Craig. Defeated bills receive scant notice in the newspapers, if yet defeat, when it affects some particular locality, is as much a cause for rejoicing as the passage of other bills.

This is the case in the defeat of House Bill No. 32, introduced by a member from Yavapai county, endeavoring to create a game preserve in Coconino county for the elks dumped into Arizona from Wyoming. The cattlemen sent Barnett Styles, of Winslow, to Phoenix, where he labored with the members for two weeks to have them understand that that game preserve was not wanted in Coconino county. At times he felt he might even prevent it coming to life in the house. However, once in the hands of the members of the house, the reresentative from Coconino was at once on the firing line.

No member in the house is so courageous, determined and persistent a fighter for their constituency as Thos. Maddock. To know the wants of his county means for him to make good for them. As a rule he does, too. While the bill was struggling for the light he told the members that if this county had wanted this game preserve they would have asked their own representative to introduce the bill; that there were no live streams in that section except those developed, by the stockmen for their sheep and cattle, and for that reason they did not want the preserve there to take from livestock what was rightfully theirs.

Coconino county now has one game preserve, that of the Grand Canyon, the Coconino, and the eastern part of the county is almost all under the Navajo Indian while the southwest corner is given over to the Hualpa Indian reservation, and notwithstanding all this you want to take 450 square miles more of the county for elks. Stiles told the members that what the cattlemen want is protection their ranges, which to the country seems more necessary than that the ivild game "should be taken care of.

President Wilson today issued the following appeal to the nation to help the sufferers in the Ohio and Indi ana floods: "The terrible floods in Ohio and Indiana have assumed the proportion oj a national calamity. Th loss of life and the infinite suffering involved promps me to issue an earnest appeal to all who are able in whatever way, to assist the labors of the American Red Cross, to send contributions at once to the Red Cross at Washington or to the local treasurer of the society.

We should make this a common cause. The needs of those upon whom this sudden and overwhelming disaster has come should quicken everyone capable of sympathy and compassion to give immediate aid to those who are laboring to rescue and relieve. (Signed) Wilson." Justice Courts Busy During the last few days the fid-lowing cases have been disposed of in the criminal branch of the justices' court at Flagstaff and Williams: Magdalena Zaragosa was tried before Judge Harrington at Flag staff and held over without bail for the murder of B. Fuentes, of Flagstaff. Joe Bender was also tried lefore Judge Harrington and found guilty of a simple assault on the jx'rson of C.

F. Gleason. William E. Bishop and Robert Henderson were tried for the bur glary of the Grand Canyon Drug store at Williams, in a preliminary examination before Judge Rounseville and held over to answer the charge of burglary under a bond of $2500 each. Roy Burns was held over by Judge Rounseville under a bond of $2500 to answer for the crime of forgery.

Deputy Sheriff Geo. S. Patten re turned last Sunday evening from hid trip to the Agua Caliente hot springs, where he had spent several weeks for the benefit of his health. George states he left every twinge of "rheumatics" he owned at the vprings. until business called him home, but he knew that if parliamentary tactics could delay or sidetrack the bill the representative from Coconino would do it.

The cattlemen of the county have both Stiles and Maddock to thank that they are not saddled with another reservation and that the bill to make one died in the liorn-ing.
