Their object is to traverse the distance from Bright Angel to Cataract can yon, and as noone, so far as known, has ever made the trip beyond Long creek, which is about twenty-five miles west of Bright Angel, they will probably have some experiences they will remember. The total dis tance to Cataract, the way they will have to travel, is about sixty miles, and as they will put in a month en route, Ralph will have some good stories to tell upon his return, be- sides possibly being able to show some good ore.

Williams School Notes.

This week closes the schools until September.
 The question most often heard this week is, "Will be promoted ?''
 Miss McIytyre will probably re- main in the city during the sum- mer, and enter the Northern Ari- zona normal in September.
 To Misses Irene Johnston and Maud Harrell we owe a debt of gratitude for their kindness in play ing for us in our music work.
 It is hoped that next year every boy and girl in Williams will be in school, unless they can present a valid reason for being absent.
 Our second primary teacher, Miss Marine, left Friday evening for Flagstaff, where she will spend Sum- day, returning on Monday morning, on her journey to her home in Mis- souri, L. E. GIFFoRD.

A Story Of the Prairie.

The Century magazine is about to
print serial which will have an espe-
sial interest to people who are at home
on the prairies. 1t is called "The
Biography OF Prairie Girl" and the
author is Eleanor Gates, young
woman who spent her childhood in
Dakota and who thus writes from the
closest personal observation.
The time of Miss Gates story is
about 25 years ago; it is put in the
form of a personal narrative of the
life OF little girl, and there lie hardly
phase or event of prairie life which
is not touched upon in these pages
the blizzard, breaking colts, horse
stealing by Indians, school days on the
frontier, fighting gophers and badgers,
cattle raising and other typical phases
of hardship or prosperity,
1t is not a novel, but the same char
acters appear and reappear in the story
with reality which impresses the
reader with confidence in the truth of
the narrative.
"The Biography Of Prairie Girl"
will begin in the August number OF the
Century and it will be illustrated.

USELESS RECORDS AND FILES.


investigation in Progress at the War
Department.
An investigation Is in progress ut the
War Department to ascertain what
records and papers on file are Of no
further use and may prOtitably be de-
stroyed. There are some 200 boxes Of
reports and records in the paymaster
generals office which are of no per-
manent virtue or historical interest,
according to Colonel G. c. Sniffen, the
acting paymaster general.
Judge Advocate General Davis re-
ports as useless about $4,000 court
martial records dating from 1S4S and
some four cubic feet of summary court
reports, together with seven cubic feet
of voluminous petitions made in behalf
of Sergeant John A. Mason, Second
Artillery, tried in 1882 for attempting
to kill Guiteau. There are also volu
minous documents, comprising many
thousand names, together with letters,
postal cards, etc.
The chief Of engineers has found a
large quantity of manuscript reports,
statements and other documents which
have outlived their usefulness. In the
ordnance department there are alb
stracts of reports, estimates, state
ments and duplicate returns, some Of
them dating as far back as 1S47, and
all of them should be burned, says
General CrOzier. General Greedy says
that the signal Office files are encum-
bered with thousands Of letter press
copies and personal reports and prop
erty returns which should be de-
stroyed.
The adjutant generals Office contains
n large quantity of similar material,
including the unsuccessful applications
for appointment to West Point and the
army. The quartermaster general ap'
pears to have the largest useless col
lection, including papers going back
before the Civil War. The surgeon
general has large quantity Of blank
forms and property returns and requl-
sitions some of them dated as early
as 1921.
An unsuccessful effort was made last
yea, says the Washington Star, to have
enacted a law which would permit the
periodical destruction of documents
and records which have Outlived their
usefulness. and an effort to establish
such system will be made again.

No Longer the
Debtor Section

A circumstance that intensified the
evil result of the one-crop system was
the fact that the Northwest was a
debtor section. New England especial
~, and the Eastern States in general,
held mortgages without number, and
many firms existed solely to loan East
ern money upon farm lands in the
Northwest.
A large share of the value of every
crop went East in the form of inter
est; but the Northwestern farmer
tnoughtlessly relied upon the easiest
crop, though it made him dependent
upon one market quotation; lazily left
expensive farm machinery standing in
the open field to be ruined by the ele-
Ments, although in most cases it had
lie inevitable day of reckoning. Then
came the panic of 1898, and the sub
sequent hard times; which, with the
assistance of a few poor crops, were
the best instructors the Northwest ever
had. The debtor farmers life became
a struggle for sheer existence. EconO-
my was imperative and advice hither-
to unheeded now fell upon eager ears.
At the mercy Of his creditors he real
lied the value of independence and
when times improved financially he
did not relax his efforts until he had
become free man.
AS a result. the Northwest soon be.
came a creditor section and Eastern
investors were obliged to look else
where for mortgagers. AS an indica'
ton of this change the rate of inter
'est, which fifteen years ago was s and
10 per cent on the best farms in the
Mississippi Valley. is to-day as low
as 3h per cent on the banks of the
Missouri.
A recent newspaper dispatch says
the County Treasurer of Kingsbury
County, South Dakota. reports that lie
has been compelled to return to the
State treasury the sum of $4,000 OF
the permanent school fund because he
had been unable to loan it. The same
condition of affairs, says Condo Ham.
lin in the Review of Reviews, prevails
in practically every other county in the
State, aptly illustrating the excellent
financial condition of the people OF
South Dakota.

Value Of Wolf Scalps.

A hunter and trapper who has been
operating in North Park this past
winter, has brought in the pelts Of four
gray wolves. The stockmen of North
Park are paying bounty OF $50 for
each wolf scalp. The necessity for ex-
terminating the animal is growing
greater every year, as the loss to owners
of cattle by their depredations is seri-
Gus matter, as it is generally estimated
that each wolf destroys $500 worth of
cattle during his life time.-Ranch and
Range.

He Never Worked and Never viii.

There is New York farmer who has
lived 20 years and is sound as a dollar,
and yet he has never done stroke of
work since he reached the years of dis
cretion.
What shocking example for the

When the iceman called in the morn
ing she told him that she wouldn't
take any more ice from him, as she
could get it much cheaper from another
dealer. The ice man was troubled only
for moment; then he said cheeriully:

water, for it's been analysed an it's
