The Grand Canyon.
Flagstaff Democrat.

There is no one thing more important to the people of this section that to prop erly advertise the Grand Caflon at the Worlds Fair It may appear upon first thought that this would be of no effect, but when we consider that within eighty miles of our own beautiful city lies one of the grandest and most picturesque views that the eye ever beheld, we then begin to realize that we are not amiss in urging this move. There Is nothing in the broad world that equals this canon in marvel of beauty or strangness of construction, and 1t is said by those who have gone there and looked into its boundless depths, that it's steep precipices, high mountains with in and other attractions never fade from the imagination. It is no fancied picture or painted conception, but is one real, grand and magnificent piece of Gods work. spread out like a panorama before mans eye. To see it is like a dream in dreamland and to enjoy its grandeur beg gars description. There are thousands of people who have read of it as some noted spot, and then passed it from their memory thinking it picture far over drawn, but if it IS properly exhibited, by properly constructed models or paintings at the Worlds Fair in 1892, they will see its no far-fetched story but is true exist ing reality, and thousands of tourists and pleasure seekers will come hundreds of miles to enjoy a look at Gods master piece.

A Thriving Industry.
Flagstaff Democrat.

The potato industry of this northeastern part of this county is worth more than a passing thought. It is simply wonderful what producing quality the soil posses ses for this vegetable, and how much more amazing to witness the numerous car loads of this article that are shipped to other markets. They yield enormous crops and require no cultivation and owing to the superior quality of the flavor readily find good living price.

Oniie an Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon while Misses Nellie and Lizzie McNeil were taking d ride on south Main street, the horse, a gentle and quite tractable animal under ordinary circumstances, feeling in good spirits, gave a playful kick and got it's hoof caught in the dashboard of the cart. This frightened the animal and in it's plunges about to relieve itself of its predicament it careened the cart and threw it's occupants out upon the hard ground. Miss Nellie sustained severe in- juries about the hip and shoulder which still confine her to her bed, and Miss Lizzie's side and back were considerably hurt, but she is now able to be about.
 After the accident the young ladies call ed to the horse to stop, which it imme- diately did, and, forgetful of their own injuries, they extricated it's foot from the dashboard and drove home without fur ther trouble. It was q narrow escape from very serious injury.

CENSUS UsTAKISGISALAsKA.
Special Agent Petroff's Adventures In
 Search of Statistics.

A bulletin from the Census Office upon the census of Alaska IS composed entirely of brief introductory statement from Superintendent Porter and a letter from Special Agent Petroff, describing his ex- perience in organizing force of enumer- ators for his district. There are no statis- tics of any kind. Superintendent Porter says: 'Ihe work of collecting statistics of population. resources, etc. of Alaska, has been intrusted to Ivan Petrof, who accomplished in 1890 what may be termed census reconnoissance' of that Territory. The isolated condition of Alaska and the lack of means of transportation and mail facilities made it impracticable to employ the same methods employed in other parts of the country, and 1t was deemed best that MT. Petrof should be allowed to en- brace in his work, as far as applicable to Alaska, the various subjects of investiga- tion which in the general census are intrust- ed to separate divisions of this office. Mr. Petroff began his work on Feb. 10, 1890, and having divided the territory into eight divisions, organized force of as sistant special agents for the field work from residents of Alaska familiar with the languages and the country. The general and special schedules used in this inVesti- gatlon cover the following subjects: First, white or civilized population; second, na- tive population; third, churches; fourth schools; fifth, canneries and fishing; sixth, trade and commerce; seventh. gold and silver mining; eighth, coal mining. The enumeration of Alaska is nearly com pleted, but the returns have been received only in part, and those from several in terior districts can not be obtained until next spring. The accompanying letter is issued in order to show the obstacles in the way of pursuing this branch of inyes- tigation. MT. Petroff's journey in Alaska foots up about twelve thousand miles, and the distance which had to be travelled by his assistants would probably be four or five times greater. The superficial area of the territory is estimated at 570,000 square miles, Mr. Petroff's letter is more like an entertaining story of an adven- turous explorer in country where he was often obliged to depend upon the wa ters and woods for his food, and orshelter upon his own devices, than 1t is like an official report of man bent upon statis- tics of population, manufactures, or farm mortgages.
