ON Tuesday, the fourth day oi the conclave at Rome for the selec- tiOn of a successor to Pope Leo, Giuseppe Sarto, the patriarch of Venice, was elected, and now reigns at the Vatican and over the Catho- lie world as Plus X. Sarto in Ital- ian means tailor" and Plus X, when a young seminarist, being rather elegant in his priestly robes, his companions used to joke, say ing he evidently knew the business. He began his education at a semi nary in Treviso, continued it at Pa dua, the seat of the famous univer- sity, one of the best known not only in Italy, but in the world. He is a modest and agreeable man, highly cultivated, very kind-hearted, and still strong and robust in spite of his 6S years. He has never taken great part in the political and pub lie life of the church, but divided his time between study and good works.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 8. 1903

WE lived a little better than us- ual one day this week, and it didn't cost us anything, which is a good
 thing, especially in the case of a country editor. c. c. Hutchinson brought us a front quarter of choice mutton, while George w. Mathews of the Cheap John Racket Store do- mated a large head of lettuce and a fine bunch of onions, raised in his own garden. It is said that preach CTS and editors are pretty lucky in having eatables given them, but a glance at Rev. Oliver and one at us would show casual observer that Oliver is more often the recipient. We only weigh about 13O pounds, while our friend Oliver will prob ably go beyond the 2O0-pound notch.

THE party which went to Califo

THE party which went to Califor- nia on July 25th arrived home last Sunday. When they reached Su- sanville they were informed by the land officers that they could prove up, but their money for the land would not be received until some thing more definite had been agreed upon at Washington rela- tive to the land in that section. They were informed that at present there is some $3O,0OO lying in bank at San Francisco which was paid in and is being held for the same req son. Others from here have paid and they stand no more show of getting the timber land than those who have not. There is little doubt, however, that all will get title to their claims, as the loca- tions were all made in good faith.

Hotel to Be Completed by Next March.


 The Grand Canyon of Arizona hotel of the Santa Fe railroad will be a thing realized before next spring. Authorization has come from the board of directors to Chief Engineer Robert B. Burns to let the contract and begin work at once on the great resort hotel which the railroad company long has planned for the canyon. General Manager A. G.. Wells said yester- day that the new hotel will be com pleted and ready for the reception of guests next March.
 Plans for the hotel were made several months ago, but until the officials of the railroad company received assurances from the land department that its concession was a guarantee of the exclusive right to build a hotel in the Canyon, which is a government reserve, the hotel would not be constructed. Ever since the branch track was built from Williams to the head of Bright Angel trail the hotel has been planned.
 The cost of the new edifce will be about $5O,OOO, exclusive of furni- ture.-L. A. Herald, August 5.

DROWNED IN THE
 COLORADO RIVER Two WeII-Known Citizens Meet Death in the Swift and
 Muddy Waters.

A week ago last MOnQay CnarleS Mclean of Flagstaff went out to the Canyon to relieve Pete McGon- igle, who had been acting as watch man at the Bright Angel Creek Power Company's camp on the north side of the Canyon. Me Gonigle met Mclean at Cameron's camp at the Indian Gardens and started to take him across the river and show him where the camp was located. He stated at Cameron's that he would probably return that same evening, but the next day and still the next day passed and he did not show up. Niles Cameron then became anxious, and taking several sticks of dynamite with him, went down to the river. He could see where the boat had been pushed off, but no trace of it nor the men was to be seen on the op- posite bank. Here the walls are close together and the current very swift. Cameron saw the mems burros feeding on the other side of the river and knew then that they had not reached the other side in safety, as the animals would have been taken on to the camp. He exploded the dynamite as signal, but received no response. Word was telegraphed to the missing mems relatives at Flagstaff and a search party organized, which reached the river Tuesday of this week, but a thorough search failed to reveal the whereabouts of the missing men. McGonigle was a cousin of Charles McGonigle, fore man for the Arizona Lumber X Timber Company of Flagstaff, and made his home with William Fried lein, from whom these particulars were gleaned, he having went to the Canyon to satisfy himself oi the awful truth.
 It is thought the current prob ably overturned the boat and they were drowned in the rapids short distance below.
 This is the same place at which T. A. Fleming had such a narrow escape a few years since when Russell was drowned. His body, or a body supposed to be his, was later found on a sandbar some dis tance down the river, and a watch will no doubt be kept at the same place for the appearance of these bodies, as there is a strong eddy at that point.
 Did the men escape to the bank at point below, there is little pos sibility of their getting out alive, as the walls are almost perpendic- ular and they would starve before help could reach them. Thus is closed another chapter in the silent tragedies enacted in the great gorge
 Forest Ranger Ben Grove was in the city yesterday from his head quarters at Challender.
 Henry P. Lowe, the Colorado mine operator, who paid $4OOO for a special train from New York City to Los Angeles in order to reach the bedside of his 12-year-old daugh- ter before her death, passed through here Friday morning at about 1 o'clock. He was to reach Los An geles before midnight on Friday, and this enormous price was paid to gain eight hours over the regular time schedule. He arrived there too late, however, to see his child alive, as the little one died Tuesday morning.

whom Jesse Lewiston has heretofore
been the NEST conspicuous. In what

not been made public. The fact re-
mains, however, that the information
is full and complete, and is in Mr.
Jerome's possession. Mr.. Vanderbilt
not only told Mr.. Jerome of his own
losses and winnings, but it is under.

friends and acaauintances, the charac.

of their gains and losses. MIR. Jerome

According to private reports the sui

failed.
The sultan's troops have abandoned
the fortress of Raseme, close to Fee.
The pretender is negotiating with the
tribes in the immediate vicinity Of
Fee to assist his advancement
The hostility against the sultan is
spreading in Fee. The Moors are ex-
hibiting photographs of him arrayed
in ridiculous garb. The sultan yester-
day assembled the mobiles of the be
sieged town at the palace and exhort-
ed them not to despair, assuring the
chiefs that the imperial troops ulti-
mately will triumph. The rebels have
destroyed the Aqueduct which sup
piled Fee with water and the city is
Practically Without Water.
Unless the Kabyles tribesmen from
the South come to the succor of Fez
the place must surrender within three
days. -

troops were defeated by the rebels I'M

hours march from Fee, where the
sultan had recruited men for his

have been advised to start for the

and communications are almost
closed. The pretender himself is re-
ported to be twenty miles from Fee.

France have notified Spain that they
have no intention of taking any ad-
vantage of the situation in Morocco,

OF the status quo, even in the event Of
