A CORPS of men are looking over the country between Globe and Tonto Basin with view of extending the Globe and Northern railroad to that rich valley. It might be well for the business men of Flagstaff to bestir themselves in this matter and make an effort 10 get the road extended to Flagstaff, The section through which the road would pass is rich one and would develop paying traffic for railroad, and Flagstaff cannot afford to let any opportunities pass by.

Whereas, It has pleased the Great Spirit 10 remove from our Hunting Grounds one of our most respected chiefs and active Hunters, Brother George $. Conant,
 Be it resolved, That the Improved Order of Red Men in general and Oraibi Tribe, No 8. of the Reservation of Arizona in particular do feel greatly the loss of Brother Conant, us hunter ever ready to share with his unsuc- cessful brother the fruits of his great suns labor and ever seeking where he could shoot an arrow of assistance to his fellow man in distress, a chief whose genial companionship while fol- lowing the hunt Of life was ever sought, to lift the burden from his fellow Hunter:
 Resolved, that we extend to his be- reaved widow our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of trial and that our charter be draped in mourning for thirty days; further. that We engrOss on our records this memorial of the departure Of our chief to the great and happy hunting grounds of "kishe Manitou." and that copy be for warded to his widow;

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?
The most remarkable editorial that
sver dropped from the pen OF man APP
peared in last nights issue Of the
Every Evening, when that journal,
through its columns. advocated the
Street and Sewer Department abandon
ing the project OF requiring vehicles to
carry lights at night, and require that
the Boulevard be put in a safe condi-
tion for bicycle riding.
The text Of the editorial is as fol-
lows:
Yesterday Every Evening referred to
the resolution pending IN the Street
and Sewer Commission, proposing TO
require owners of all kinds of We
hicles to provide the same with light
ed lamps after sundown, under penalty
of fines. We contended that there were
other directions in which the efforts Of
the department could be more profit
ably and practically expended.
A case in point was developed last
night a young woman who was talk
ing a bicycle ride on the Boulevard, on
the north side of Washington street
bridge. sustained a serious fall by the
front wheel of her bicycle striking a
large stone in the roadway. From the
force OF the fall she was unconscious
for several hours, and the real extent
OF her injuries may be a matter OF un-
certainty for a long while. It is re-
liably asserted that the bed OF the
Boulevard is Uttered with loose stones
making bicycle riding ON that popular
thoroughfare a matter Of risk to life
or limb
Here is a subject more practical than
that of requiring lighted lamps on We
hicles after sundown. Let the direc-
tors OF the Street and Sewer Depart
ment abandon the wagon lamp resolu-
tion and have the Boulevard put in a
condition safe for bicycle riding.
Can it be possible that Every Even
ing advocates the abandonment Of a
policy that will at least be some pro-
lection to the life and limb Of our en-
tire community. and the substitution
OF a policy that will benefit compara-
lively a small number OF citizens? OF

country looked like.
The arrival of the special train bear

last week was awaited in the station
by crowd of mothers, elder sisters,
brothers, and in some instances, faith
ers. AS the train steamed slowly into
the depot the car shed resounded with
childish cheers. The children were so
eager to meet their parents that they
could hardly be kept in the cars till
the train came to full stop. AS soon
as they We're permitted to leave a
happy crowd filled the platform each
one seeking out and being sought by
parent or sister. Nearly all of them
carried mementoes of their visit to the
country, either in the shape of a bunch
of wild flowers, a cluster Of cherries, a
live chicken or something equally
reminiscent Of the farm where they
had passed a never to be forgotten
week.
