Grand canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. triweekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges--a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.

TIMELY.

In late editorial the Denver News
makes some pertinent suggestions to the
Deming irrigation congress. 1t says that
the thing to consider is the disposition
of interstate waters. True; and its further
suggestion that some supervision should
be had of the timber on the water sheds
and the proper apportionment of the
water, is in line with the national
policy, and should receive careful atten-
ton at the convention.

be forced to swear allegiance to silver

the desired end.
