The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than IL hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any OF the Alpine
range.

Grand Canon, illustrated by many

HINTON, W. Va, June 1.-THE
Third District Democratic Conven
tion met in Parker's Opera House, il
this city, to-day and selected Hon
James III. Miller, of Summers, and
Hon. Lawrence Z. Tierney, of Nc.
Dowell, district delegates, and Gen
J. w. st. Clair, of Fayette, delegate
at-large to the Democratic Nationa
Convention.
John McGrath, of Mercer, and
Gen. B. H. Oxley, of Kanawha, are
the district alternates and James T
North, of Logan county, alternate tc
the delegate at-large.
1t was large and wildly enthusi-
astic gathering of representative
Democrats and the resolutions which
give forth no uncertain sound on the
question of currency, we're adopted
without dissenting vote.
The convention was called to or
der by Hon. James II. Miller, chair
man of the Congressional committee,
who called to the chair Major Joe
Chiffon, of Charleston, and Hon
Thomas III. Dennis, of the Greenbri
er Independent, as temporary secre
tary. The temporary organization
was made permanent.
Elk Governor Wilson delivered one
Of his characteristic speeches in
which he lauded the free silver idea
amidst the widest applause, and it
was clearly evident that the white
metal advocates reigned supreme
Governor Wilson was followed by
Judge Huston, of Kanawha, who
announced himself a new convert tc
the free silver cause, bat none the
less an enthusiastic one. His elo.
quence caught the convention. He
deprecated the attitude Of President
Cleveland and Postmaster General
Wilson, and the convention plainly
showed that it was in sympathy
with the speaker.
Hon. John w. Arbuckle, of Green
brier, who, it is said, will contend
with Governor Wilson for the Con
gressional nomination, and General
st. Clair, of Fayette, made rafting
free silver speeches and when the
latter mentioned the name of Vice
President Stevenson for the Presi
dency the convention went wild.
In fact, nothing other than silver
was tolerated and if a single delegate
was present who espoused the cause
of the yellow metal, he kept remark
ably quiet.

The Storms Actual Work.

The loss Of property caused by the
tornado, according to the official es
Innate Of Mr.. Frederick, President
of the Board of Assessors, based up
on careful investigation by expert
assessors, is $40, 239, 900.
This is an enormous loss, but il
represents a gratifying reduction
from the estimates hastily formed a
few days after the tornado and sent
out in news reports over the coun.
try.
But to the general public the part
of the report which gives better
idea Of the extent of the damage is
the statement of the number oil
houses damaged and the space they
would fill. The number of houses
totally destroyed was 321. Placed
side by side they would cover one
side Of street for mile and q half
The total number of buildings dam.
aged was s,512, row of 80 miles
long.
Counting only five persons to the
house this number of houses would
make city Of 10000 inhabitants
Ordinarily town of that many
houses would contain not less than
$4,000 people. If the damage infict-
ed in St Louis had been inflicted on
town of that size not house would
have been unscathed.
1t seems preposterous to rejoice
over such results, yet considering
the demonstrated fury of the storm
and the number of houses damaged
st. Louis has cause for rejoicing that
the loss of both life and property
was not greater. We got out of the
hands of that wind demon with re.
markably little hurt,-St. Louis Re
