Do Good-lt Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that "Good deeds are better than real estate deeds-some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, show sympathy and lend a helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it." Most men appreciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are per- sons in this community who might truthfully say: My good friend, cheer up. A few doses of Chamber 1ain's Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold, and there is no danger whatever from pneumonia when you use that medicine. It always cures. I know it for it has helped me out many time." Sold by all druggists.

and going up in the air one mile higher than we were at home It was more regular than your sum- mer climate and there was rain every other day, on the average, and not a hot day for the three months of July, August and Sep tember. So you can see the snow covering the neighboring mountains when you are basking in the sun shine with temperature of 75 or so degrees. Or, when there is a like temperature at Phoenix there may be and often is four to six feet of snow at Flagstaff and Williams, 200 miles north.
 It would be expected naturally that 1 should say something about courts and lawyers in Arizona. I have found the judges and lawyers in Arizona fully up to the stand ard maintained in Wisconsin, and that means that they are up to the highest standard maintained any where.
 I ought to say something about the great natural curiosities of Ar izona, not for the purpose of at- tempting any description of these natural wonders, but simply to make the picture complete and to know that Arizona has everything that can be found elsewhere and great many things that can be found nowhere else. Of these the petri- fled forest and the Grand Canyon are the chief. The first is a forest turned into agate, specimens of which you saw at the Worlds Fair. Such a unique. natural wonder ought to be made a national park and preserved from the vandals who are rapidly destroying it and carrying it away.

The commissioners put aside the
idea of road across the mesa, for
the same reason that the ID. & r. g..
railroad keeps its tracks in the valley.

Informed the writer that the matter
had been thoroughly investigated, and
that it had been decided that the
bridges required across the arroyas
ence would be Diany times the cost
of keeping the road open where it is
now As we understand it the road
proposed by the commissioners con.
templates the accommodation of the
people on the Beaver and the freight
ers between Pueblo and Florence and
Canon, rs we'll as the people of Port
