THE VERDE ROAD.
A Practical Road Found Down Oak
Creek CANYON.

Creek Canyon.
j. L. McWilliams, j. b. Smith and
Richard Madden have completed the
preliminary survey Of thu canyons
leading into Oak creek from. the north
and east sides. Mr.. McWilliams re.
ports that he found two easy roads into
Oak Greek canyon.
The nearest route is down Mont.
gomery canyon to Sterling cabin.
This canyon heads about eleven miles
southwest IF this place. The canyon
will have to be crossed twice by
bridges. and the road from the head tn
Oak creek will cost about $1,000.
From this point down Oak creek ~
miles to the junction of the Verde road
a new road will have to be built, and
the cost is estimated at s., 900.
The other route is by the way of
Mund's canyon. or trail. 20 miles from
Flagstaff, and the road down the cam
yon can he built for 81, 900.
The first route is considered the
most practicable, as the distance to the
Verde valley will he shortened 25
miles,. aud would be- almost entirely
free from snow in the winter months,
u good road secured during the entire
year. and once built, it would require
but little work TO keep il in good con-
diiion.
The trade from the Verde valley and
adjoining country is worth n good
many thousands Of dollars annually
to our merchants, and they should take
some action at once that will secure
the building Of the road before spring.
The people of Verde valley are willing
to do their share towards building this
road. What will the citizens of Flag

Practically Settled That Demo-

at Chicago,
Though Chairman Jones Refuses
to Make Any Formal
Announcement.
Senator German Said to Have
Declined to Take Charge of
the Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - Senator
Jones, chairman Of the Democratic ma
tiOnal committee, has arrived in Wash.
ingtOn. He went at once to the head
quarters Of the Democratic congress
sional campaign committee, and was
busy all the forenoon with correspon-
dence and kilograms besides seeing the
more prominent Democratic arrivals in
the city. He was not ready to announce
b executive committee or to state
what decision had been reached regard
ing national headquarters. 1t is known,
however, that the determination has
been reached to locate the main head
quarters at Chicago. There will be
maintained in Washington a branch
headquarters, working in connection
with the congressional campaign COM
mittee, which will attend to sending
out all the necessary literature, and
will work also in connection with such
other campaign committees as may be
established here and are interested i'll
the success of Mr.. Bryan.
The pressure from the West to have
the headquarters in Chicago have been
more than the committee and the cam
paign managers could withstand. 1t
has been pointed out that the Republi.
can headquarters are practically in Chi.
cago, and that the hard fighting during
the campaign will be in the West.

ELLENsBURG, WASH, Aug. I7.-After

RATHER SLow.-Here is a story
which Mr.. Chauncey Depew always
tells to quick-witted Irishmen of the
home-rule type, to illustrate the
supposed obtuseness of the typical
Englishman in regard to jokes.
I" At a private dinner in England
l told the very best story 1 could
think of. 1t was greeted with q
little laughter. Next day 1 met my
host on the Strand. He advanced to
me smiling, began to laugh as he
grasped my hand, and said
DO you know, Depew, that was a
capital thing you got off last night
capital. And do you know l have
just this minute been thinking what
capital thing it was. The point of
the joke has Just come to me-
] said, Why it must have tray.
elled to you on freight train.'
My dear Mr.. Depew,' said the
Englishman, / assure you l haven't,
'pon honor
Mr.. Depew told this story to an
Englishman who had been in
America for long time. One of
the officers of the Central road was
with him in Mr.. Depew's office when
the story was told. The Englishman
gave courtesy laugh, a forced and
feeble "ha, ha." When he turned
into Duval's Office, and the door of
the presidents room had been shut,
he remarked, anxiously:
81 say, what the blazes did Depew
mean by that freight train ?"

LOVED A JOKE ON HIS WIFE
Among the many stories told of
Eugene Field, none is more aptly
illustrative of the quaintness of the
man and the drollness of his humor
than a little street car episode in
which himself, his wife and car full
OF passenger were concerned. Mrs.
Field is a very gentle, retired
woman, and rarely cared to share
the homage paid her husband, the
while she was his most admiring and
sympathetic friend, counsellor and
companion. Mr.. Field enioyed
nothing better than a joke on his
wife.
On the occasion referred to, they
entered the street car ia find all the
seats taken save one at each end of
the car, and they seated themselves
accordingly. When tho conductor
collected the fares, Mr.. Field an.
nounced in audible tones as he gave
him a dime, at the same time point
ing to the far end of the car:
This is to pay the fare of the
lady over there-the one wearing the
new, beautiful brown silk dress.n
All eyes were turned to her, and
her pretty face took most bec0m-
ing rose color, but back of the re.
proving glance she threw at him was
one of mingled indulgence, apprecia.
tion and mirth at the unexpected and
apparently truthful announcement.
All the stories about the Western
poet bear upon the fact that he never
outgrew boyish appreciation of
things.
