The railroad from Flagstaff to the
Grand Canyon is an assured fact, and
'Buckyn O'Neill, its protector, knowing
the value Of printers ink, takes the op-
portunity to advertise some of its at
fractions In advance. To a Phoenix
reporter he said: "That great gorge is
a wonderful place It is terra incog-
nita. At the terminus of the road, for
a distances of seventy miles either up
or down the stream, the waters are
navigab BILE to steamboat. We propose
to place such boat on the river and
make regular trips for the benefit OF
the tourist trade. The river is a mile
below the surface of the surrounding
country, and winds its way in an at
mosphere OF perpetual summer. The
temperature on the plateau above may
be below zero, but the searching winds
do not reach the bottom of the great
canyon. Flowers bloom there the
whole year through. The banks afford
little room for vegetation, however,
there being only one place where plants
of consequence have been grown. This
is at place called the Indian gardens.
Evidently long, long ago this little plot
of ground was cultivated, as evidences
of irrigation bitches are yet to be
seen"

TIE Santa Fe coach shops at Topeka,
Kansas. have an order for eight new
baggage cars sixty feet long and with
out platforms and no doors. 1t has
been decided that the platform on bag
gage cars are necessarily weak, and in
wreck they are generally crushed to
pieces. To do away with the platforms
will be great saving in the repairing
hssides making additional space IN the
car. Express is carried in the cars, and
by doing away With end doors and max
ing the entrances on the sides it Will
make the defence against train robbers
much moro effective. By having no
platforms it will do away with the
"hobos' on the blind baggage though
this is not taken into consideration IN
making the change.

The Woman of It:

Two weeping women at the Gate,
Repentance, stood disconsolate.
For love l married; he was poor,
Said one: the wolf was at our door,"
~ would that had less heart,
And chosen of the better part"
The Judge of all things frowned and said
No word, but gravele shook his head.
"And for wealth." the second cried,
II sacrificed my love for pride"
Il would that I had more heart,
And chosen of the better part"
The Judge of all things smiled and said
No word, but grayely shook his head
And for a time his council kept,
Is each unhappy, woman wept.
Then, with his hand, he opened wide
The Gate, and &c them both replied:
Pass in, ye penitents; the years
That shall be yours shall know no tears"
"For this is heaven; this il where
The married have no weight of cares
For here they marry not, nor give
In marriage here. Pass in and live.
The W oman moved not. Sir" said they
I'VE no not wish &c live that way"

It is rather q remarkable fact that
the parties in community who find
the most fault with the imperfections
of the local paper and complain that it
does not come up to their standard Id
the quantity of news published, are the
ones who contribute nothing, or next
to nothing, for it's support. Ii the
newspaper fault finders were to chip IN
literally to the support of the local
paper; and throw all the patronage IN
their power to it, they would find that
the money thus received by the paper
would be expended in its improvement.
We have never yet known a publisher
OF country newspaper to amass any
money. His idea of what a paper
should be is always a little ahead of hie
means for accomplishment, and all the
revenue of the paper, above living for
those dependent on him, is reinvested
in the businees.-Journal

The court house and Jail bonds Of
Navajo county havs been sold. We
understand the programme is to ex-
pend $4,000 on a building, reserving
$1,000 with which to furnish it after
completion. With that amount Of
money judiciously expended build
ing that would be credit to the cona-
ty, ought TO be erected. The public
school at this place cost $1,000. Five
thousand added to that would have
made building equal to any court
house in the territory. Our Supervi-
sors should now make an iron bound
contract with the successful bidder
and see that he carries out the plans
and specifications to the letter. We
are still of the opinion that 1t is an
unnecessary and extravagant expendi-
ture of the peoples money; but, when
it is expended. our county fathers owe
to the taxpayers to see that they get
full value for their money. There
should be no sighting of work; no
working in of inferior material. They
should bear in mind that the building
will cost the people $50, 600 when it Is
paid for. That it is going to be great
hardship on majority of the people
Of the county to pay their proportion
of the cost, and they should not be

A Little Boys Lament.

I'm going back down to grandpa's,
won't come back no more
To hear the remarks about my feet
A-mnddyin' up the floor.
They's too much said about my clothes,
The scoldin's never done
I'm goin' bac down to grandpa's,
Where a boy kin hev some fun.
I dug up haf his garden
A-gettin worms fer bait;
He said he used to like it
When I laid a-bed SO late;
He said that pie was good for boys,
An candy made 'em grow.
Eff can't go down to grandpa's
I'll turn pirate first you know.
He let me take his shotgun,
An loaded it for me.
The cats they hid out in the barn,
The hens flew up tree.
1 had circus in the yard,
With twenty other boys
I'm going back to graudpa's,
Where they amt afraid of noise.
He didn't make me comb my hair
But once or twice a week;
He wasn't watchin' out for words
I didn't orter speak;
He told me stories bout the war,
An Injuns shot out west.
Oh, I'm going down to graudpa's,
Fer he knows wot boys like best.
He even run race with me,
But had to stop an cough;
He rode my bicycle aud laughed
Bec'Gs he tumbled of;
He knew che early apple trees
Around within a mile,
Oh, grandpa was dandy,
An, was sin it, all the while.
l bet you grandpa's lonesome,
! Id6nst care what you say;
I seen him kinder cryin'
When you took me away
When you talk to me of heaven,
Where all the good folks go,
I guess I'll go to grandpa's,
An we'll have good times, know.

There has been 8 great deal said of
late by the press and public men, about
publishing the pension roll, for two
fold purpose. First, IS roll of honor;
and second, as means of detecting
fraud. From the way the pension roll
is Increasing and the enormous amount
that has been paid by the government
in the shape of pensions, it is high time
some steps were being taken In, this di@
rection. Senator Allen, in speech
delivered in the United States Senate
recently on this subject, said: "Not-
withstanding the war has been over
more than thirty-two years, the pen
sion roll is larger now than ever before
and growing larger every day. I find
that there have been pensioned 1,424,-
940 pensioners on account of the civil
war. find that this Government has
paid cut in pensions since the close of
the war o3er $2,100,000,O 200, and that now
we are paying out every day nearly haEf
Of the entire revenue of this great Gov
ernment for pensions; that we are pay
ing more than twice as much, from the
best information I can gather, as all
the rest of the nations Of the world;
that France maintains standing army
of more than half million of men for
about two-thirds of what our pension
ers cost US, and that Russia maintains
q standing ermy of almost 100000
Of men at less cost than our pension
