Very respectfully,

Upon this showing the case became
sufficiently interesting to lead us to
pursue it further. we decided to look
up the records. The register of actions
shows that an information was filed
against w. Il. Lester on September
%, and arraignment same day. This
is all. The superior court minutes
show that on his arraignment defend
ant declined to have an attorney; that
he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
two years in San Quentin. 1t does not
appear that any testimony was taken
either to show the grade of the crime
or to prove jurisdiction. We next ex-
amined the Judgment roll, and found
that the only witness indorsed on the
information or complaint as having ap-
peared before the committing magis-
trate was ''U S Gregory" That the
crime charged was cattle stealing COM
mitted on the 18th of September; 1900,
in Amador county. We thereupon
wanted to see the testimony upon
which the accused was held for trial in
Amador county, but in this we were
disappointed. The deposition in this
''sole witness" case was not on file.
The examination was held before JUS
tice Goldner of Jackson. Upon exami-
nation of the Justices docket, we found

MUCH has been said and written about the beauty and grandeur of the Grand Canyon, and as a money maker it is coming to be without a
 peer. As a sight-seer's Mecca it will shortly be without a rival, and the exclamations of surprise of those who, for the first time view the tiny thread of water far below them in the depths of the canyon the roaring Colorado-will shortly
 be turned to exclamations of won der at the mighty works which will be carried on by power derived from the seeming tiny rivulet. The field in that section for the installation of an electric plant is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, most promis- ing, and much benefit would be de- rived from the erection of such a plant, not alone by the promoters of the scheme, but by the indus tries tributary to such a system. The day is not far distant when such a proposition will be made to capital and abundant proof of the feasibility of such system will be forthcoming. A few of the imme- diate uses to which such a plant might be put, to say nothing of the demands that would constantly spring up, would be the supplying of power by which the railroad to the canyon and other points might be operated; the great benefits that would accrue to the mining indus tries of that region, the supplying of power for the constant operation of saw-mills at Williams, Challen- der, Flagstaff, and other points where it would be possible to more profitably work the virgin pine when the water question was in this way eliminated; for lighting purposes and numerous and divers other uses of the large and small Yes, the proposition is a good one, and the time is ripe.

THE WILLIAMS NEWS has the Courier thanks for publishing the Courier's criticism of President Roosevelt for recalling Tillman's invitation, thereby placing the Cour- fer right with the readers of the NEws.-Prescott Courier.
 It was only by dilligent search that the above was found In almost any paper it would have appeared on the editorial page, but it seems it was not meant to be read by the Courier's subscribers in Prescott, and was placed on the last page of the paper, where there is never any reading matter except medicine locals. Yes, the Courier has been placed right with the read CTS of the NEWS, but we hope we will not have to reprint such an article again to make our point.
