Improvements at Grand Canyon.

Possibly you visited the Grand Canyon of Arizona five years ago. You rode over from the Santa Fe main line in a stage coach, two days on the way. You stopped at a log cabin hotel. You had com fortable fare, but no frills. You saw the Canyon, and that is the only thing that is unchanged, says the Albuquerque Citizen.
 The Santa Fe now owns a rail- road from Williams to the rim at Bright Angel, and gives daily train service. The hotel itself has been twice enlarged and the management has just ordered a third edition built, to take care of this winters business. The new edifice at Bright Angel, to cost s75,OO0 and to be managed by MT. Fred Harvey, will be started this fall and completed by next spring.
 At Bass Camp, on the Mystic Spring trail, where the western limit of the granite gorge district is reached, MT. George Wharton James has associated himself with MT. Bass in the building of a new inn to be called Havasupai hotel. It will be ready for occupancy early in 1903 A daily stage line has been put on between Coconino and Bass camp.

A Communication.

EDITOR NEWS: I notice in last weeks issue of the NEWS an article which says that owing to the gov ernment charging exorbitant rent for grazing privileges, MT. Walsh, a sheepman, has been forced out of the sheep business.
 This is very great mistake. The government charges no rent for grazing privileges for sheep, cattle or horses within forest reserves, and I do not believe a charge of any kind is made for range outside the reserves for grazing stock. No charge has ever been made for such privileges.
 Stockmen of all kinds are re- quired to make an application for grazing privileges, in which they agree to extinguish fires in the re- serve, or assist in doing so when they are discovered. Permits are granted on that basis. The people living within the reserve are given first preference; settlers owning ranches inside and living outside the reserve come next, and outside people are given what remains.
 Two years ago an agreement to pay was put in the application, an ticipating an act of congress which was up at that time, but no legisla- ton of the kind was passed and no rental was exacted of stockmen.
 Very respectfully,
 F. $. BREEN,
 Forest Supervisor.
 While the article above referred to by Mir. Breen did not so state, it had reference to the Hualpai In- dian reserve, where MT. Walsh was grazing his flocks, and not the San Francisco Mountain reserve. The matter was explained to MT. Breen since the above was put in type and our statements last week veri- ied.-[EDIroR.1

WILLIAMS IS ALL RIGHT.
So Says W. T. MoCreisht of the AIbu-
 querque Citizen

Canyon, and stopping over here while en route, had an opportunity to visit some of our business houses and notice the vast improvements in the town. He gives a glowing description of the Canyon, and speaks of some of our citizens as follows:
 Passengers for the Grand Can yon, coming from the east, are com pelled to remain over in Williams half a day. and it is good town in which to stop over. The Grand Canyon hotel is conducted by Col. c. E. Boyce, and the meals he serves are a credit to a city of much larger pretensions than Williams. This , town, since the fire, has made great progress, and the burned district is pretty we'll covered now with handsome and commodious brick store buildings.
 J. c. Phelan, an ex-Albuquerque citizen, is in the meat and grocery business in Williams, and is pros pering. He is one of the supervis- ors of Coconino county, and is very popular with the masses. He has recently erected for himself and family a fine residence, and reports himself we'll pleased with the future of Williams.
 Poison Brothers and NJ. Salz- man enjoy the distinction of occu- Pying, probably, the largest store rooms in either New Mexico or Arizona, with a most complete stock of general merchandise, and they do an immense business.
 John Donahue, formerly of Albu- querque, has moved from Williams to Winslow. He is a blacksmith.
 J. A. Gilson is a blacksmith and carriage manufacturer of Williams, and enjoys a good trade.
 F. w. Smith. druggist, has well supplied drug store
 Joseph Johnston is a we'll known stationer and fruit dealer of Will iams- He formerly resided in AL buquerque, and is always pleased | to see folks from the New Mexico 
 The Bright Angel hotel, at the Canyon, is conducted by NJ. Bug geln, and the board and lodging is first class O. c. Strait is the eff cient clerk, while Sid Farrell, who who formerly resided in Albuquer- que, has charge of the curio store at the hotel All parties are pleasant people, and they know how to treat" the guests at the hotel.
 Williams has one of the best weekly papers published in Ari- zona, and it is the NEWS. Editor Neal knows how to get up a spicy little journal, and he is doing good work in advertising Williams and its nearby attraction-the Grand Canyon of Arizona.
