Grand Canyon Notes

Few travellers who visit the Can yon for day or two can appre- ciate the beauty of this section as an ideal place to spend the sum- mer- Anyone wishing to find a restful spot should visit the Grand Canyon The weather is always cool. No matter how hot the sun may beat down on the treeless plain, there is always a breeze that is tempered by the shades of the forest that surround the rim. There are-no mosquitoes or fieas to mar your afternoon siesta, but the fly, if not shut out, will hie himself in to lunch with you
 The wild flowers grow in profu- sion back in the woods and down in the canyon, and with many varieties of foliage, make this fine field for a botanist.
 The geological study of the can yon is never ending. Each section is distinct in itself, and it will be a long time before the mineral wealth will be known, although there are several valuable mines now being worked
 Not many of the hundreds who go down the trail know that if it was not for the displacement of the strata of sandstone from where it naturally belongs there could be no natural trail down into the canyon

WILLIAMS, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, JUNE D. 1902
THE STATEHOOD BILL

The republican members of the senate made a mistake in postpon- ing until the winter session all con- sideration of the bill which has passed the house providing for the admission of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma, says the Denver Republican. The bill should have been considered and passed with out delay.
 But as the matter has been dis posed of for the present, the thing for the friends of statehood to do is to secure as large a republican vote as possible in all three of the territories. Thus they may make the republican members of the sen- ate appreciate that they will make no mistake from the standpoint of partisan politics if they let the pro- posed three states come in.
 Of the three, Arizona is the only one that can be considered demo- cratic. The republican majority in Oklahoma is very large and or dinarily the republicans carry New Mexico. The prompt admission of the three by congress at this ses- sion would have strengthened the republican hold upon both Okla homa and New Mexico, and possi- bly it would have made Arizona doubtful. Coming in as republican states they would in all probability remain so for many years unless some particular issue should arise throwing them out of line with the politics of the republican party.
 There is some satisfaction in the that the senate commit tee on territories will take up the consideration of this bill early in the winter session, for if this is done its passage before the expira- ton of the present congress may be achieved. There is little doubt that the president would sign it were it to come to him. It is so clear that these territories are entitled to ad- mission that there ought not to be any opposition to the passage of the desired enabling act as soon as it reaches a vote in the senate.

Who Will Be the Lucky Man7

It ls TuHOrtQ IlldI N 0 Lay ton will soon resign as probate judge to accept the position of territorial superintendent of schools. Judge Layton is a republican and has held his present office for several years. In the event he resigns a probate judge will have to be ap- pointed to fill out his unexpired term. The appointing board is composed of the chairman of the board of supervisors, county treas urer and county recorder. The two first named are democrats, and it is expected as a matter of politi- cal preferment that they will ap- point a democrat. To do otherwise would be a confession that no man in the democratic party is compe- tent or worthy of the appointment. The only question to be answered is, "Who will be the appointee?"- Flagstaff Gem.
 In that case it should be Judge Layton's recent opponent, R. H. Jones, the able editor of the Gem.
 Three Mexicans who were arrest ed last Thursday charged with as- saulting another Mexican were tried before Judge Ranney on Tuesday Two were fined $2O apiece and the other $1O.

When John Adams was vice pres'-
dent Of the United States (rnors tnAn
100 years ago) he paid $40 for ntt1e
pit-framed mirror and there has been
trouble about IL ever since, says the
New York Sun. Several senators IN
the course Of the debate over the pay
ment for its purchase took occasion 70
censure Mr.. Adams for having SET an
example of unwarranted extrava-
gance. The mirror was purchased n
New York, brought to Washington ana
put in place in the room occupied py
the vice president, and for q great
many years was pointed out to rurai
visitors. who wene entertained Win
more or less accurate tales OF It's MS
tory. As years went on and the vice
presidents room grew in elegance, the
little historic mirror seemed to grow
smaller and less ornate. Three years
ago II was sent TO the storeroom,
whence II was resurrected and placed
or he wall of the District OF Columbia
committee room by the clerk, Charles
Moore, who appreciated the beauty or
its simple design and Its value as a rel
ic. Shortly afterward Senator Hoar
and some OF his collearucs heard the
story Of the exiled mirror and grew
very indignant. SO, with the consent
OF Senator Frye, he president Of the
senate, II was brought back and place
of honor given il on the wall Of the
vice presidents chamber. which it Is
hoped will be its final resting place.
