will give to the world soma entertain- ing literature upon this topic through the columns of the San Francisco Ex- aminer Mr Miller was very enthusi- astic over what he saw and pronounced this scenery the most awe-inspiring of any that he had ever seen.
 The temporary setback that caused a delay in the completion of the Grand canyon road is now considered relieved ss money is here to pay off all the min CTS employed by the company This put some S10,000 in circulation here as well as restored general confidence There has been a good deal of building at the terminus of the canyon railroad this summer, affording general accom- modations for any who have gone there or may go this fall. The large hotel that VIII be completed in the near fu- ture will be under the supervision of Fred Harvey.
 The season thus far in northern Ari- zona has been particularly dry. There is, however. plenty of grass for grazing purposes and the sheep and cattlemen feel encouraged so far. There is sufIi- cient water upon the ranges. Some of the finest springs in the territory are to N- Smith G. S. Sterling and others. who have extensive ranges, hayes ufficient water to accommodate many thousands more sheep than they now have. One of the problems of vital interest to the sheep men of Coconno county is the question of the forest reserves. Wheth- CT their sheep will be permitted to range here as they have done hitherto or not. Men of influence are bringing every power to bear to show why this policy should prevail. MT. Pinchot of Washington, D. C., has recently been here to look over the range and is said to have expressed himself very favor ably inclined toward the policy of per hitting this section of the territory to be utilized by the sheep grower.
 Political wires are being quietly laid and the office seeker is viewing the horizon. The question of sheriff is of absorbing interest. The republicans of Williams will organize a republican club Saturday night The democrats have not yet made a move toward forming a club.
 Harry Pyle returned from California with his bride Tuesday. MT Pyle is the cashier of the bank at this place and went to California to be married to Miss Cairns June 24. His bride was formerly a teacher in the public schools of this place.
 Many have gone to the coast for few weeks. MT and Mrs. W. L. Ha-- ris left today for San Francisco. Mrz. Simms will leave this week for Los An geles. MT. c. E. Boyce, who has large interests in Williams, has recently leased the Grand Canyon hotel and is arranging his affairs to take an eX- tensive trip through California, the Hawaiian islands and lastly to the Philippines. MT. Boyce expects to be absent for twelve months or more.
 There are many outing parties just now going into the mountains. Oak creek is one of the popular resorts where fishing is said to be particularly good.
 William Sawyer, who went to the Klondyke country five years ago, has just returned and is spending d few weeks with his friends in this vicinity and at Flagstaff where he formerly lived. He speaks very cncouragingly of that country and believes firmly in it's future. He has done well there.

 The Sunset Telephone company is be- ginning to put up it's lines here in the city and expect to put in immediately at least one hundred and fifty or two hundred phones. We can probably look for telephone war here.
 Now the cliff dwellers on Office Row are bowling again and with due cause, as for a least the third time since the street grading was inaugurated has the tearing down of the steps (so-called) CT the ladder-like apology for steps been accomplished by the city or property owners with disastrous results, in a business sense, to the unfortunate mer- chants holding the forts there at the present time.
