Canon of the Colorado.

Nat M. Brigham is to lecture ON the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado on
January 3, in the First Christian church,
and with Mrs. Brigham will also give
a. musical programme in connection.
Mr. Brigham has lived in northern
Arizona and spent years of research in
the heart of this region of grand natural
beauty.
The scenes of tremendous chasms
which form the channel of the Colorado
river in its course through northern Ari-
IONA reach their elimination in a cha
otto gorge 217 miles long, from to ID
miles wide and midway more than $500
feet below the level of the plateau. 1t
is seventy miles distant from Flagstaff
by a nearly level road. Except in winter,
when the journey can be undertaken
only when weather is favorable, a tri-
weekly stage makes the trip in eleven
hours to the rim of the canyon.

titious Bonds.

thousand dollars worth of fictitious

ing detained for a few days in London

extradftIon. 1t is understood that in
formation win be filed by the police

Gus and suspicious character.
The prisoner arrived at the st.

Chicago. Dec. 2s.-wIIEAT-The change
in the wheat market most noticeable the
past week has been the shifting Of senu-
ment to the bull side. Local operators
who have been disposed t. buy wheat. but
