You can get to the Grand canyon by two routes. From the little sta tion of Peach Springs on the Santa Fe railroad it is only twenty-three miles by way of Diamond t'reek can- yon to the bottom of the gorge, and people who were in a hurry have made the trip between daylight and dark, but they had to start very early in the morning and got most unsat isfactory view of natures sublimest work. From Flagstaff the grandest and most comprehensive view IS ob- tained from the rim of the canyon where from single point the eye can sweep over 8 panorama of twelve or fifteen miles, and by visi- ting different places one can take iI from forty to fifty miles of tue most remarkable features.
 "The canyon itself is about lS0 miles long. 1t begins in the high plateaus in southern Utah and con- tinues through Arizona until the elevation of the surrounding coun- try gradually descends to the sea level and the Colorado river almost disappears in the thirsty sands that lie along the boundary between Arizona and the southern part of California.

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1899-12-09

The message of Governor Tyler to
the General Assembly is an interest
ing document but too lengthy for
publication in this paper. In it he
discusses the finances of the State,
suggests an amendment to the land
grabbers' act," says in regard to
trusts that 1.-The powers which the
Legislature possesses should be mos,
zealously guarded aud most conser
vatively used" that elections should
be above suspicion and suggests
effective legislation in that direction.
He favors senatorial primaries and
concludes by recommending the call
of constitutional convention.
In regard to the Fish Commission
provided for by the last Legislature,
the Governor says in part. Il refer
with pleasure to the report OF this
board and to the fact that instead OF
being a burden to the State the oys
ter fields yielded the first year under
this new system the handsome sum
of 1000, more than $34, 900 of which
was clear profit, and for the first IL
months, ended September 81, 1899.
There should be encouragement In
in such showing. The great aim OF
the State should be to preserve the
natural beds whence comes our sup
ply of seed oysters and to encourage

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1899-12-09

Hon. William Stands is in the
hands of a committee OF the Legisla-
ture of Virginia which was selected
to pass upon his democracy and de-
eide whether it was good enough to
admit him to the democratic caucus
of that body. The Democratic State
Executive Committee has decided
that his democracy was not the
simon. pure article that it should be,
but his democratic constituents by a
large majority say, that it is up to the
standard in every particular. If the
caucus decides that he is to be adj
mitted to its counsels the Executive
Committee will be offended by it's
action, if it refuses him admission
the democrats, who elected him in
defiance of the Committee, cannot
but feel aggrieved by the decision.
Such the dilemma, and the decision
will be looked for with interest.

The Oyster Question.

Senator Keezel, of Rockingham
county, a member of the State Board
Of Fisheries,is quoted by the Rich
mond Dispatch as follows:
II have no doubt g. syndicate would
like to get the Virginia oyster beds
They are very valuable. But you
must always bear in mind that the
future of the oyster rock in Virginia
depends upon the people OF Tide
water themselves II they go ahead
and help make the oyster industry
bear its just share of burdens and
yield its just share of revenue there
will be no talk of sale. But I'll tell
you one thing: There has got to be
less anti planter legislation, and more
looking to putting upon the tongerf
their share of taxation. Heretofore
nearly every law on the subject seems
to have been aimed at the planter
while the tongers get all they want.
At present tongers can only be taxed
40 cents on the 500 worth oysters
taken. am not sure the Legislature
will not vote to submit to the people
the amendment to the Constitution
adopted last winter repeating that
section which forbade the imposition
of a tax upon tongmen, other than
the Stat. tax we all pay"
The chief defect that has been dis
covered in the Virginia oyster law is
lack of provision for setting forth to
public view what planting-grou
have been taken up and by whom.
This information would be va'u
able 10 the public, and particularly
to all the officers charged with the en-
forcement of the law. 1t has been
suggested that that defect could be
cured by an enactment providing fol-
mapping out the leased grounds in
each county, so as to show each mans
holdings-this map to be posted in a
conspicuous place in the courthouse
Otcourse this plan involves con-
siderable expense but we are told
that it would prove profitable in
vestment for the State. 1t would be
also the best protection the public
could have against any ones taking
up more ground than he pays for,
and it wonld be standing advertise
ment to those who ere looking out
for unoccupied oyster grounds.

Governor Tyler will not be

Governor Tyler will not be the
n ext United States Senator from
Virginia, but it is gratifying to note,
that, undismayed by the defeat
which awaits him, he will go down
with his colors flying. He will allow
his name to be submitted to the
democratic caucus and it is right
that he should In his defeat he will
be more honored by the people of
Virginia for the fight which he made
for them than will be his successful
competitor, and that he will have his
reward eventually in the triumph OF
the principles for which he contend
ed, there can be no question. Boss
ism in Virginia cannot last and Gov
-ernor Tyler will be remembered as
the leader of the movement against

The Life Saving Service.

The annual report of the general
superintendent of the Life Saving
Service states that at the close of the
year the establishment embraced 265
stations, 1913 being on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts, So on the Great
Lakes, Is on the Pacific, and at the
Falls of the Ohio, Louisville, KY
Disasters to documented vessels
within the field of the operations of
the service during the year. 42S. On
board those vessels, 3,903 persons, of
whom 3,S47 were saved aud Sc lost;
estimated value of vessels involved (,
ST, or, 635, and of their cargoes, ST.
U32 COS; total value of property i'm
periled, SS,104,6 $40 Of this amount
Sc, 161 800 saved. and 81, S42, 740 lost.
Seven hundred and tifty-one ship
wrecked persons received succor at
the stations, to whom ], 400 days re-
lief in the aggregate was afforded.
Number of vessels totally lost, 70.
In addition to the foregoing, there
were during the year, 1894 casualties
to small craft, such as small yachts,
sail boats, rowboats, &c on board OF
which there were 671 persons, 664 OF
whom were saved and Z lost; property
involved in these instances is esti-
mated at $13S,535, OF which $129. 2S5
was saved and $9,250 lost.
OF the 63 persons who persisted, a
| were lost in one district, the Second
on the coast of Massachusetts, and 4C
of these in one storm, the almost un-
precedented tempest of Nov. 26 and
~, 1898. One half OF this latter nun
Der were on board of vessels which
were destroyed on outlying rocks aud
shoals, where they could not be seen.
The entire loss of life in all the
other districts was Only 19. These,
with the 4 lost in the Second District,
aside from those who persisted in the
Nov. hurricane, make total loss OF
90, which number falls considerably
below the average annual loss OF all
the districts in recent years.
Besides the numbsr of persons
saved from vessels OF all kinds, there
were 70 others rescued who had fallen
from wharves, piers, sc, the most OF
whom would have persisted but for
the aid of the life-saving crews.
The crews saved and assisted in
saying during the year 387 vessels,
valued, with their cargoes, at 80 .966,
255, and rendered assistance of minor
Importance to the other vessels in
distress, besides warning from danger
by The signals of the paGrolmen, 1913
vessels. The number of lives and
amount of property saved through
these warnings is, of course, undeter-
minable.
