OUR NORTHERN STRIP.
Description of That Portion of Arizona
 Which Utah Wants to Steal.

AL tltCh StCCAOn OA congress, says the Kingman Miner, the delegates or representatives from Utah introduce a measure having for its object the annexa- ton to Utah of all that portion of Arizona lying north of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, their claim for such action being that it is of no value to Arizona and is the breeding grounds and habitation of all the bad men of both Utah and Arizona, and that owing to the fact of its inaccessibility to the law officers of Arizona and the lack of jurisdiction of Utah officers, these desperadoes are allowed to commit all sorts of depredations without fear of punishment. And they also hold up the fact that the whole country is practically a terra in cognito to the whole world, but that where it has been explored is little less than a desert waste. Why Utah representatives, if they believe such to be a fact, should desire the annexation of such n land passes comprehension
 The fact of the matter is that all the talk put up by Utah's repre-
 sentatives is pure bosh- The region in question is nearly 100 miles in width from north to south and nearly the full width of the territory. It embraces some of the best grazing and timber lands in Arizona The great Kaibab plateau (Buckskin mountains) is admitted the finest stock range anywhere in either Utah or Ari- zona, while the Seavitz plateau, in Mohave county, is almost as good. These two great mesas, cut by the great gorge of the Colorado river on their southern walls, rise to an altitude of 5000 feet. Their sur faces are nearly level, and are COW cred with a heavy growth of mas sive pine trees, such as are being sawed into lumber at the mills of Flagstaff and Williams
 After the snows of winter disappear a luxuriant growth of nutritious grasses spring upall overt the ranges and 1t is from these ranges that the best and earliest of the range fat tened beef is sent to the Salt Lake City market In the great grass covered valleys, between these plateaus thousands of sheep are grazed- These fiocks are all owned by residents of southern Utah. These people range their sheep in the counties of Coconino and Mo have, Arizona, during the greater part of the year, but when spring time comes they drive them into the southern counties of Utah, shear them there and there pay the tax, paying no tribute whatever to the Arizona counties for the time they have been within their border It is a great inconvenience to these sheep men to be compelled to go to all this trouble to dodge the Arizona assessor each year and in consequence they are anxious for the annexation to Utah of this strip. Another reason for the
Williams news., 1902-05-17

TOT the saw mills ana the law pro-
 scribes the shipment of lumber
 from the territory. The Mormons
 have two saw mills in this north
 ern strip of ours, where they used
 to saw lumber and timbers for the
 southern tier of Utah counties.
 The lumber prescription law has
 closed down these mills and now
 the Utahns are anxious to get this
 lumber where they can handle 1t,
 which cannot be done until annex
 ation is assured.
 There are copper mines in this
 region, from the Virgin canyon on
 the west to the Buckskin noun
 tains on the east. For several years copper ore was hauled from Arizona to St. George and smelted there. Now the copper deposits of Grand Gulch are worked on q large scale and the ores are hauled to the railroad and shipped to Salt Lake for treatment. This deposit of copper, the richest in Arizona, lies horizontally in a bed of sand stone. Where the Grand Gulch cuts the strata carrying this cop per ore, great deposits have been and are being quarried out that run from 65 to 70 per cent. The ore carries its own f1uxing mater ial and the great forests of timber on the mesas above provide all the wood and timber necessary for all mining purposes. In the same mesa, in another canyon, thirty miles distant, at Hidden Spring, the same deposit shows and is being worked, showing that prac- tically the entire mesa, 45 by 90 miles, is underlaid with this de- posit of copper. At another place in the Seavitz plateau is a deposit of pure, white gypsum, nine feet thick, that underlies an immense plateau. There is gypsum enough there to make plaster of paris and portland cement for the use of the whole world for centuries.
 In reference to the class of peo- pie who inhabit that section, it may be said that they are almost entirely followers of Joseph Smith, and that few crimes are ever re- ported from there. In the past ten years not one crime has been re- ported to the officers of this county, nor has there been an arrest made by the deputy sheriff living in that part of the county.
 Now that a railroad is to pass near the Seavitz and Kaibab plateaus the value of that region will be increased an hundred fold.
 Along the great Hurricane Fault and in the Vermillion Cliffs, these wonderful freaks of nature, there are springs from which paraffin and other petroleum oils ooze in 
 To the reader no wonder will be that Utah desires this section and takes this op- portunity to make known her desire when we are knocking at the door for admission to the union as a state, but the showing she has made would not impress the aver age congressman that they rely on it to carry their point. The asser- ton that the country is cut off from the territory by an impassa- ble chasm is a pure fabrication. There are dozens of places where crossings have been established, which make it accessible at all seasons of the year, while from the Trfah eide fha crnGainn of fha Vir

Yet she had herself said many times
during her college course in the study
of social economics that service was a
noble thing. And, as she went up to
her room that night after long and
tender conference with her mother, in
which the two had grown nearer to-
gether than ever before, she seemed
to call to mind the many passages of
the New Testament which speak of
Jesus not only as household servant
but even as ''bond servant" And it
came to her with heayen-born courage
that if the Son of God became full
grown" through His sufferings en-.
dured in ministering to others, why
might it not be the way in which she
and all other of Gods children should
develop their real lives and grow into
power as kings and queens in the King
dom? 1t is doubtful if ever before
that evening Barbara had caught a
real glimpse of the meaning of serv-
ice. She did catch something of it
now. She opened her New Testament,
and it was not by chance that she
turned to the passage in Luke, twenty
second chapter:
And there arose also contention
among them which of them is account
ed to be the greatest. And He said
unto them, The kings of the Gentiles
have lordship over them; and they that
have authority over them are called
benefactoFs. But We shall not be so;
but he that is greater among you, let
him become as the younger, and he
that is chief as he that doth serve. For
which is greater, he that sitteth at
meat or he that serveth? Is not he
that stitch at meat? But I am in the
midst of you as he that serveth. But
.ye are they which have continued with
me in my temptations. And 1 appoint
unto you kingdom even as my Father
appointed unto me, that We may eat
and drink at my table in my kingdom"
duke 22:24-29.)
Then she llneeled and prayed:
Dear Lord, make me fit to serve,
use me to the glory of Thy kingdom in
the new life before me. Make me
worthy to be servant, to be like my
Master. Amen"
So barbara Clark began her new ex-
perience, which profoundly affected
not only her own life for all time to
come, but the lives of very many other
souls in the world. And that night she
slept the sleep which belongs to all
the children of the kingdom, whose
earthly peace is as the peace of God.

A MOTHERS SONG.
KANSAS

While you sleep, I-watching-hear.
Little hearts, how strong you beat
With the pure young life-blood, sweet,
Unpolluted yet by fear;
Till my own proud pulses leap,
While you sleep.
Hid behind the fast-closed eyes
What entranced dreams must lie!
Many a lovely fantasy
Yelled from us who are grown wise
We, who sometimes watch and weep
While you sleep.
Little hands, that closely hold
Favorite toys which soothed your rest:
Here a doll clasped TO the breast,
There book with tale oft told
All your treasure safe to keep,
While you sleep.
While you sleep, the calm dark night
Passes by so cruelty fast.
Little heartsi Time seems so vast,
Love IS fain to hold you tight.
One more kiss; away creep
While you sleep.

nal.

CHAPTER II.
1T IS SWEET TO TOLL.

e. ID . w ~ 1O1L.
1t was four weeks after Barbara
Clark had been at work as SHRED
girl in the Ward family. She was
sitting in her little room at the ack
of the house, writing a letter to one
of her classmates in Mt. Holyokc.
She wrote slowly, with many grave
Gauses and with an anxious look on
her face.
THE fact Is, JESSIE" the letter went on,
after several pages describing partof the
four weeks experience, Il have come to
the conclusion that am not born to be a
reformer 1t was all very well when we
studied social economics to have our hero
ic ideals about putting certain theories into
practice. but It Is quite another thing to
do it. 1 thought when 1 came here that
might do some great things; but there are
no great things about it, just nothing but
drudgery, and thankless drudgery at that.
And yet Mrs. Ward-but / must not say
any more about her. / have stayed out
my month as / agreed to do, and to-mor-
row / am going to let her know that can
not stay any longer. / think shall try
place in Bondman's after all. 1t seems like
a poor sort of position. after all the dreams
is better than what have been doing.
would not have mother know this, and
have not said as much to her yet. Poor
mother! She must be disappointed In me.
] am in myself. am glad you are so well
suited with your school. There is good
deal of the blues in this letter; and, to tell
the truth, 1t is just as feel. "A Hired Girl

to Sunday dinner. This makes Sun
day morning my hardest day."
'It has happened so this last month,
that is true" Mrs. Ward confessed
reluctantly; "but it has been rather
unusual In three instances / remem-
Der the gentlemen invited were par
ticular business friends of Mr.. Ward,
and he was anxious to please them,
and invited them home with him
from church rather than send them
to a hotel. But such social courtesies
are a part of a mans home life.
What shall he do? Never invite a
friend home to dinner for fear of
giving the girl little extra trouble ?"
81 don't mind it during the week"
Barbara replied, thoughtfully, "but it
does not seem to me to be just the
thing on Sunday. A good many fam
lilies make it a rule not to have ex-
ira Sunday dinners. Do you think it
is quite fair?"
"We haven't time to discuss it. Go
on" Mrs. Ward answered, not sharp
ly, as Barbara thought she might.
There we're traces of tears in the
older woman's eyes that disarmed
Barbara at once. The excitement of
her nervous tension was beginning
to subside, and the attempt to mar
rate her grievances in their order was
helping her to see them in their just
light, Besides, Barbara had received
some new ideas since she sat down to
give her reasons for leaving. Tho

A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon

Mr.. S. X. Lent was delegate sent
from the farmers of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re-
port on the prospects for successful
settlement. His report is as follows:
/ went from Winnipeg to Edmonton,
thence east one hundred miles by wag-
on. I found the country in that vicin-
ity a rich, black loan, varying from IL
inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are
simply some thing enormous; wheat
and oats by actual measurement often
standing feet in height. have been
a farmer for 40 years, and consider my
self fair judge of the yield of grain,
and I saw wheat that would yield so
bushels per acre, and, oats that would
yield 100 bushels per acre; not one
alone but a good many. As for root
crops and garden truck, in no country
have I ever seen their equal for all
kinds except corn and tomat toes; the
nights being too cool for these to
ripenwell. AS stock country it has
no equal. East of Edmonton, on the
head waters of the Vermillion River,
saw hay meadows containing from 10
to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet
high, and would often cut to tons to
the acre. From Edmonton I passed
through some fine cations, namely,
Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and other
points.
From Macleod went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert, PAT miles
north of the main line. For the first
so miles is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more of
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Duck Lake found some
very fine farming country, so good
that found a party of Americans
from Minnesota buying land for them
selves-one party buying IL sections,
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves, which they proposed to
improve at once.
I have travelled over % different
States and Territories in our Union,
and never in my life time have I ever
seen such magnificent crops and es-
pecially as fine stock country.

girl of the house that particular
room. which in this case happens to
be the hottest, most uncomfortable
room in the building"
Mrs. Ward sat down, and again
looked at Barbara keenly. Her anger
vanished suddenly, and she said, with
faint smile: 81 don't know but you
are right about that. Will you go
on?"
"In the second place." Barbara
went on, slowly, 81 have not had any
regular hours of work. Four nights
this week I worked until ten o'clock.
Three nights last week sat up until
IL with the children while you and
Mr.. Ward went to entertainments or
were out to dinner"
"But what shall we do?" Mrs. Ward
suddenly cried out despairingly.
"Some one must stay with the chill
| dren. And Mr.. Ward and 1 have So
cial duties we cannot neglect. 1 am
sure we go out very little compared
with other people,"
ST can't answer your questions -
Barbara replied. "But 1 know one
| reason why I feel like leaving is be
cause I never know whether my work
| is going to end at eight or nine or ten
or eleven o'clock. There is no regu-
/ lar hours of labor in a hired girls
| life, in this house,
Neither are there any regular
hours of labor in mothers life in a
home." said Mrs. Ward, quietly. ''Is
your burden harder than mine? Or
is it any harder than your own viii
| be if you ever have home and chill
dren as I have?"
The sudden question smote Bar
bara as new one, and in a moment
She felt conscious of an unthought of
| problem in the social economics of
housekeeping. She had not thought
it all out, as she had told her mother
If the home life was never to be free
from the necessary drudgery of life,
| why should she complain if in the
course of service in a family exact
hours and limits of service could not
very well be determined? She was
somewhat troubled in her mimi to
have the question thrust upon her
just now. She was not prepared for it.
SIN any case," she finally said, re-
luctantly, "the hours are so long and
so uncertain that"
But you have Thursday afternoon
and nearly all of Sunday. You have
more real leisure than 1 have"
''But you would not be willing to
change places with me?" Barbara
asked, looking at Mrs. Ward doubt
fully.
cit is not a question of changing
places. I simply want you to see that
in the matter of time you are not
abused. But go on with the other
reasons" And Mrs. Ward folded her
hands in her lap with resigned air
that made Barbara vince little, for
what she was going to say next
would in all probability anger her.
another reason why have decided
to leave is the Sunday work. During
the four Sundays 1 have been here

gress is meeting with much encourage
mept throughout the district and his
friends feel hopeful of his success. He
has stood by the party through thick and
thin. In 1896 he made a splendid can
vass as nominee for the House of Repre-
sentatives when defeat was 3 foregone
conclusion. He was renominated in 1898,

made another strong fight and was elect
ed He was again nominated in 1900 and
reelected to the same position. The
canvasses and service in the Legislature
were undertaken at great sacrifice to
his personal interest and at a time
when nominations were going begging.
Our people feel that his services entitle
him to this recognition. In addition, he
is a man of the highest personal charac
ter and attachments, splendidly equipped
to fill the office.
