The ARIzosA BOUNDARY.

The Colorado river flows southwest
erly across the southeast corner OF the
State of Utah, and interests the
Utah.Arlzona boundary line about
midway between the southeastern ANA
southwestern corners OF the fret
named. Continuing Its Houthwesterly
course, the river separates a large
tract of county, comprising the
northwestern corner OF Arizona, from
the rest OF that territory. The general
form Of this tract is triangular, and 1t
is roughly estimated to DO about
one hundred and fifty miles
long from east to west by
about eighty miles wide from north
to south, these measurements being
along the north and west lines OF the
triangle, respectively; In other woris,
the extreme measurements.
The separation OF this tract from the
rest OF Altoona by the Colorado river
is OF q very efiectual character, in u
physical sense, because the river, ex-
cepting at n few points, is difficult or
impossible to cross, and traffic betwe con
the tract and the rest OF Arizona IL
consequently difficult and Involves
much roundabout travel.
The tract is desert, Wild and noun
famous in character, and abounds in
precisely such retreats as cattle thieves
and other desperadoes delight In.
Being under the Jurisdiction OF
Arizona, yet separated from 1t by n
natural obstacle more formi dable than
the hi hest range OF mountains would
be, this region has become infested
with criminals, who are In an excel.
lent position to DEFY law and civiiiza-
ton, and prey upon law abiding ctl-
zens.
The district thus infested lies inlme-
diately south OF st. George, Kanab,
and the contiguous towns Of
this State, whose Inhabitants have
suffered long from tho depredn.
lions OF the lawlsss classes referred to.
But the prosecution OF the culprits has
involved long and expensive Journeys
into Arizona on the part OF victlml,
and an expense on some OF this coun.
ties of that territory which they have
been unwilling to incur; hence iustice
has been pereistently and successfully
detieu.
To correct the evils that arise out OF
this condition of things, 1t is necessary
that the tract of land above described
should be ceded 10 Utah. and the
present Legislature has made provis-
ion for sending two commissioners
to Prescott Immediately, to lay the
matter before the Legislature OF Ari.

JONAH CRITICIZED.

THE STORY OF JONAH IN THE LIGHT OF
HIGHER CRITICISM-By Professor Luther
Tracy Townsend. lrice 80 cents. New Ok:
Funk & WagnRls Company.
This book is by O we'll and favorably known
author, Professor Luther T. Townsend, and
should be read by every person who has any
doubt as TO the historical integrity OF the story
of Jonah.
After speaking OF the several types OF skep-
ticism chara cterstic of the present age. and
defining what is vsriously called he critical,
or literary, or scientific method of investiga-
tion, the author applies the principles and
rules of this method to the narration of
Jonah, reaching what must be regarded as re-
markable conclusions. That is, by employing
the same rules as used by those who at
tack the Book OF JONAH DR.. Townsend sue
ceeds in turning tho Iab.es completely upon
all such adverse critics.
Following most rigidly the scientific method
Dr.. Townsend proves that Jonah was e real
character; that The book bearing his name is
not fiction but history; that there are several
species of sea monsters that could have swa,-
| lowed Jonah without nutilating him; that it
was possible for God TO have preserved Jonah
alive while in the sea monster, and that there
were ample reasons for such divine interposi-
ton.
The book will be interesting to scholars, as
it suggests the methods that doubtless are TO
be employed in the future while answering
the higher crit,cs

A NEW CALIFORNIA NOVELIST.

The May number of Hppincott's bears
strong testimony to the fact that our Eastern
friends are beginning to realize the ability OF
Californians in California. The publishing of
Jason Hildreth's Identity" complete novel
by Miss Virna Woods. is an honor to which we
should not be jnsensible, even though the
luster in which we stand is reflected from the
individual ability of Miss Woods.
The story itself is essentially strong, with q
plot as clever and unique as any that has ap-
pcared in print for long while.
The hero awakes in the first chapter TO find
himself devoid of memory as to his identity.
Fearing that on acknowledging this he VIII
be committed TO an asylum ior the insane, he
invents meager history and calls himself
Jason Hidreih. He is told that he was found
on the Pacific Mail docks in an unconscious
state, having been saudbagged.
Later on Jason Hildreth discovers a photo
graph OF beautiful woman which calls up a
food OF memories. He confides these 10 the
physician who has become his most init

fellow, looks on while the troubled hero, now
