Safer and Surer Ground.

That evening Capt. John Hance was
at the hotel. having returned from a
trip to his ranch with a party of sight
seers. He persuaded The Citizen rep
resentative and party, OF the theory
that he had something wonderful to
show, to visit his ranch at $3.50 each
stage fare to Grand View and a couple
of hours horseback riding-and the
next morning the trip was made. Hav-
ing dissuaded the party from stopping
at the Grand View, on the grounds
that nothing could be seer there, he
pushed on to his ranch. After lunch,
the party was mounted on horses and
taken along the rim to a point named
after Thomas Moran, the artist. and
where, it is said, he made some Of
his
Famous Paintings

The above quotations, having refer
ence to the Grand Canyon of Arizona,
are positively true, for there is only
one such rent in the earth's crest in
the world and that chasm is located in
Arizona and sixty-three miles from the
energetic town of Williams. This great
wonder, which has come into such
prominence through the instrumental
ity of the Santa Fe Railway company
only the past few years. and that
through its advertising department,
is on an average of
One Mile Deep,
thirteen miles wide, PIT miles long,
and was visited recently by a repre-
sentative Of The Citizen.
The trip from this city to Williams
was made on the No. 1 passenger train
OF the Santa Fe Pacific, arriving at
that town at 1881 p. m. and remain
ing there until z D. m, at which time
the Grand Canyon train takes its de-
parture for the great wonder, reaching
the Bright Angel hotel at 10 p. m.

enjoyed on this trip was the drive
through lofty pines, but had the party
been properly advised, instead of be-
ing deceived by the captain, a stop
should have been made at the Grand
View where is located a
Cave of Beautiful Stalaclites
and which could have been explored
for a great depth. and this sight only,
besides the immensely of the canyon
at this particular point. would have
been worth seeing. The captain, for
some reason, did not know about this
cave.
The hotel was reached at $50 p. M,
and the invigorating air gave each
and every one a most enjoyable APP
petite.
The next day the party left for Will
liams and then home to Albuquerque,
leaving Col. Borden and wife at Bright

sightseeing before continuing on their
journey to California.
Prof. G. Wharton james, an enthus.
iastic acmirer of the Grand Canyon,
says:
Gods stupendous masterpiece on
earth! A mountain chain turned up
side down and thrust into the worlds
crust with all its ravines, crests,
gorges, ridges,
Detached Peaks and Forests,
and at the lowest point of the V made
the bed of al immense river. A chaos
of color such as no mountain range
on earth ever r%esembled, for while
there are forests, there are hundreds
o. square miles of bare, barren, solid
rock in all the colors, shades and tints
of the rainbow, a striking red being
the dominant role in this novel har-
mony of colors."

All that is needed in Wrangell to bring the town to the front is uni ted action on the part of the people. Our grand climate and other natur- al advantages are second to none on the coast. and all that is needed is to let the outside world know it. Wrangen doesn't want any booms; but what she does want is that to which she is entitled; and, if the people act harmoniously, that can be had.
Alaska sentinel., 1902-12-11

Most of all her needs at the pres ent time Wrangell should have a fire company, regularly organized, officered and disciplined. There are few buckets and ladders here now:but in case they are needed. Tom would say do this, Dick would say do that, Harry would say do something else and the consequence would be nothing would be accomp- lished. Nothing succeeds at a fire like systematic work, and this can not be had without organization. Who will take the leadin this mat ter?

Our worthy neigbor, the Mining Journal asks SENTINEL to advance one reason that could be advanced against territorial organization for Alaska, All right neighbor, just one: How many PERMANENT res .dents has Alaska? In the lan- guage of the comedian the people are here tomorrow and gone todav;' in other words they are migratory; like the birds they spend their sum- 'ners in Alaska but flee to other eiimes for winter, and hence cannot be chased as permanaat fixtures. entll this ceases and Alaska has a healthy, bona1ide population, she needs no territorial form of govern ment to heap an unnecessary tax alton upon those who are here as permanant fixtures.

The Chamber of Commerce are doing the rigbt thing in their move toward establishing a reading room and resort at their rooms on Front street.

THANKS. NE LORD.

The ALASKA SENTINEL Is the title of a new six column folio weekly publication the first number of which was issued at Wrangell on the 20th inst, A. Y. R. Snyder editor and proprietor. It is neatly print ed, well edited sheet. and judging iron its display of local advertising has evidently come to stay. Ii the Wrangellites are possessed of the public spirit with which the SENT MEL credits them they will give Bro. Snyder support that will insure beyond question the success of his enterprise.-Mining Journal.
 Many of our readers seem to have a misapprehension regarding the way the SENTINEL Is mailed. It is sent through the postoffice for the reason that the Wrangell list is so miscellaneous-many being out of town most of the time-that 1t would be impossible to deliver it by carriers without missing many, Hence it is mailed at the postofiice every Thursday.
 MT. Amuudson and daughters Laura and Mrs. Goodrich and Mr. Goodrich started out in a small boat for the Girard Point cannery Monday morning, and when down near the point about mile below town, one of those Stickeen squalls struck them and carried away their mast. In this predicament they were forced to return to town.

Strangers outside of Wrangell need not think that because they are not advertising in the SENTINEL that the place has no hotel or saw mill. The fact is, Wrangell has the best hotel building in all Alas ka and her saw mill cuts more and better lumber than any other mill. Don't forget this fact,
