where to Stop in chicago.

Tho perplexing question which is every
day asked by people who desire to go to
Chicago to attend the Worlds fair is,
"Where are we going to stay when we got
there?' This is easily answered, and if
you will 60 to the ticket agent of the
Santa Fe, Mr.. W. M. Smith, he will tell
you.
Arrangements have been made for the
distribution by the Santa Fe company of
a pamphlet entitled "Homes for Visitors
to the Worlds Fair" This is reliable
pamphlet containing the rames and ad-
dresses of about 5000 families who will
furnish accommodations to visitors from
May to October 81, 1898. The pamphlet
also contains sectional maps which will
enable the intending visitor to select any
quarter of the city that he would prefer.
Correspondence can then be carried on
and definite arrangements made so that
when visitors arrive in Chicago they can
proceed at once to their quarters.

why not treat Gold and silver Alike
We hear a great deal about the re-
duction in the cost of producing silver
which has taken place owing to improved
methods and machinery and reduced
transportation charges in the last twenty
years, but is it not true that an equal re
duction has taken place in the cost o.
producing gold in that period? Abou
40 per cent of all the gold produced from
the mines of the world is taken o@S il

Grand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly 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.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder OF
the world. You can "read up" about it by
asking G. T. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A
T. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mai

is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and a gem

Admit the Four Territories.

A bill for the admission of Arizona was
not reported from the house committee
on territories before congress adjourned,
and yet Arizona is in some respects more
entitled to statehood than any of the
other territories. In natural resources it
is in certain particulars the greatest of
all. 1t is defective in that it has but little
coal--at least but little has been discov-
cred. But it is the best timbered, and it
has greater stores than any of the others
in gold. 1t is enormously rich also in
both copper and silver, and it has a large
area capable of producing, under irriga-
ton, all the tropical fruits. As a pro-
Queer of tropical and semi-tropical fruits,
it very probably will take the lead of
California, for its oranges ripen for the
market several weeks earlier than those
of California. There is no objection to
be made to the people of Arizona or to
any prevalent doctrine or practice among
them. They have an excellent public
school system, and their achievement in
this connection is in the highest sense of
the word commendable. 1t would be a
mistake to leave any of the four territories
out, and this is especially to be said of
Arizona.-Denver Republican.

many other blessings that we do not
look for now.

Is Concerned.
1t looks as though Utah will become a
state very soon.
New Mexico, as usual, will be left out
in the cold. Two years ago very few
thought that Utah would be admitted as
a state as early as New Mexico, but now
it seems New Mexico, if admitted at all,
must come in on the heels of Utah. How
long after Utah's admission it will take
congress to make up it's mind that we can
enter, none can tell.
Now, what is all this due to? Certainly
not to the fact that Utah has better
claim to admission than New Mexico. We
suspicion the secret lies in the difference
between the two delegates representing
the two territories. Our delegate is, what
he has always been, unfit to represent us
