How to Test Drinking Water.

A single test of drinking water is the
Meisch sewage test. Fill a clean pint
to be tested, and dissolve in it half a
teaspoonful of granulated sugar. Cork
it and set it in warm place for two
days. If during this time it becomes
cloudy or milky, it is unfit for domes-
tic use. If it remains perfectly clear,
it is probably safe. Be careful that
the bottle is absolutely as clean as you
can make it and the sugar pure.

How to Remove Paint Stains.

A fresh paint stain on wooden goods
will disappear if rubbed against other
wooden goods. For instance, if the stain
is on the sleeve of a coat, take that
garment off and rub the paint against
the other sleeve. 1t will disappear and
leave no sign. This is easier than ap-
plying turpentine and exactly as effica-
cious, but it must be done while the
paint is still wet.

should be ripe and tender enough to
admit Of shredding thoroughly. Put
the shredded fruit into deep glass
dish and pour over it a half pint of

spoonful each of brandy and cura Gao.
This should be done at least three
hours before the salad is needed, as
the sugar must be quite dissolved.

A Most Unjust Criticism
Williams Might Be Better, But She's Not as Bad as Painted

Under the caption From Bunch Grass to Orange Groves" a mem Der of the Western Canada Press Association writes at length of the trip The following extract will be of much interest to this immediate section:
 At Williams the party was met by a gentleman who was to be our guardian angel for the next week or more; he was w. J. Rouse, of the editorial staff of the Los Angeles Daily Herald
 Williams is a unique town. It contains n population of about 1900, whose principal occupation seems to be gambling. There are numer- ous fine saloons in Williams, in which gambling games of all kinds, including roulette, faro, crap shoot ing, etc, are running constantly. and more particularly on Sunday, which happened to be one of the days the wandering scribe struck the place. There are said to be more shooting scrapes in Williams than any other town of its size in America We found the saloon keepers very nice, agreeable gentle men, and when we left they pre- sented us with several specimens of a familiar product known as Cana dian Club" and also some boxes of splendid Mexican cigars.
 Our cars were pushed up the hill to the brink of the canyon, where we arrived about 10 o'clock one night.
 The Grand Canyon of Arizona is something which it is impossible to describe or even photograph.
 Imagine a tremendous plauteau, 5000 feet above sea level, stretching for hundreds of miles, in the midst of which suddenly appears a tre- mendous hole in the ground a mile and a half deep, 120 miles long and ten to eighteen miles wide. Imag- inc this tremendous chasm filled with peculiar shaped mountains which appear to have been thrown up from the bowels of the earth and consisting of brightly colored rocks, strata upon strata, and you have a faint idea of the Grand Canyon of Arizona.
 The Grand Canyon, until recent ly, was very little known and must not be confused with the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, which is simply a gap in the mountains

COCONINO COUNTY
Her Unlimited Resources and Great Op-
 portunities for Investors.

Little is known by the ordinary customer of the great territory of Arizona. Still less is known of her counties individually. Coconino, the largest of them all, contains 19, 1922 square miles, and is larger than the combined states of Massa- chusetts, Vermont and Delaware. In such a vast area it is only req sonable to suppose that there are unlimited opportunities for the in vestor. The Grand Canyon mining district has been spoken of ire quently through these columns, but little has been said of the larger portion of the county north of the Colorado river, and the develop ment of which would mean so much to Williams were a suitable and practicable way of crossing the great gorge constructed.
 It might be well to state here that there has been a petition for warded to the department praying for the establishing of a postoffice at Bright Angel. This fact alone will assist in bringing attention to the north side of the canyon, where at present are numerous camps which have to send out their mail by way of Fredonia, up through Utah, or by a roundabout way to Flagstaff, greatly delaying import ant matters. With the establish ment of a postoffice at Bright Angel and a suitable crossing through the canyon all this delay could be averted.
 On the north side, twenty-four miles from the rim, is located Ryan's camp, the headquarters of the Co- conino Smelling company. This company has just completed its large smelter and teaching plant, has erected nine large coking klns and laid a pipe line seven miles, thus securing a bounteous water supply. Development work is new going forward under the competent management of Aquillis Nebeker, state senator of Utah, and a vast amount of ore is blocked out and on the dump. The company shortly expects to begin operations, when about 800 men will be employed, and it does not require much skill to figure out the benefits that Will jams would derive by the comple- ton of such a crossing through the canyon
 Not only would we derive great benefits from this source alone, but it would open the way to further developments of vast and heavily mineralized country, and Williams, through and over the Grand Can yon railroad, will necessarily be the shipping point for all supplies.
 In order to carry out the project of constructing such a crossing through the canyon as would be practical, it might be necessary to secure government aid in the en- terprise, and there is little doubt that it could be secured if pushed with vigor. Such a crossing could be easily constructed, and it would be greatly to the advantage of the government in more ways than one to assist in the enterprise

SHEEP SHUT OFF
 FOREST RESERVES

The special dispatch from Wash ington which appeared in Tues days Republican, conveyed the first information to the people of the west concerning the new policy of the government as to the grazing of sheep within forest re- serves. It is declared to be the program of the department of the interior to issue permits for linn ited number of sheep in the Cas- cade, Washington, Rainier, Uni tah, Big Horn and Gila reserves The dispatch stated that 100000 head would be permitted to remain on the "Gila reserve in Arizona, 5O,OOO to be owned by settlers on the reserve" The new policy goes into effect with the beginning of the next fiscal year, July 1, 1902
 There is no "Gila" forest re- serve marked on the latest gov ernment map of Arizona, the map issued with the annual report of the governor of the terri tory, which was printed at Wash ington in December last The re serves were known as the Grand Canyon" San Francisco" Pres cott," and "Black Mesa" All of these reserves are in the northern part of the territory, and within the counties of Mohave, Coconino and Yavapai, with the exception of the Black Mesa reserve. It is not clear, therefore, from the dis patch, what is meant by the "Gila reserve in Arizona" It being the policy of the department to exclude sheep from all reserves covering watersheds which supply irrigated regions, it may be taken for granted that grazing within the Prescott and Black Mesa reserves will be forbidden, since these reserves cover a portion of the Verde and Salt river watersheds-the watershed for each river being approximately 5000 square miles
 But it is clear that whatever may be meant by the "Gila" reserve, the sheep industry of Arizona will soon be a thing of the past, compara- lively speaking, since the POO, 900 head for which it is proposed to grant permits comprise but a small portion of the sheep within the ter ritory- It is true that the returns to the territorial board of equaliza- ton for last year included but 377, ,936 sheep for taxation, but it is known that the existing number was far greater For instance, the census returns to the national gov ernment for the year previous gave a total of approximately 1000, 900 sheep in the territory On account of the migratory nature of the sheep business, immense fiocks ranging on the public domain from one county to another, more than half of them escaped all taxation And the fiocks in the southern counties, outside the forest reserves, com prise but a small portion of the total number. There were but 6, 100 head in Cochise county, 4,620 head in Pima county, 3,6O0 head in Pinal county, none in Gila county, none in Santa Cruz county, but

through which the Rio Grande rail- way runs.
 Mir. Rouse took some of the party to the brink of the canyon in the pitchy darkness the night we ar rived, and asked us to throw a stone over the edge and listen. A large stone was thrown, and we listened, but the sound of it's drop was never heard.
 The evening was spent at the Bright Angel hotel, a rambling log building, right on the rim of the canyon. The hotel man is Mir Buggeln, q typical Arizonan, who wears a cowboy hat, woollen shirt and top boots, and who was at one time n county sheriff with q repu- tation which put the fear of the law into train robbers and cattle thieves. The only thing of which MT. Bug seln is economical is water, which costs him $100 a tank, and has to be hauled 100 miles.
 Next morning about thirty of the party, mounted on horses and bur ros, went down a steep and danger ous trail to the bottom of the can yon-that is, they went down as far as they could go, for on reach ing the bottom, a mile and half in a straight line below the hotel, they found themselves at the edge of a deep and narrow gorge, in which. 1000 feet below, the Cobra do river boiled and surged its way towards the Pacific coast. Those who remained at the top and took tally-ho and horseback rides could just discern the procession of pill grims in the canyon, and they looked about the size of pin heads. It took them eight hours to make the trip down and up again--Her- ald, Calgary, Alberta
