 Ralph Cameron, who was recent ly granted right and title by the government to the Bright Angel trail in the Grand Canyon, spent last Tuesday in the city. MT. Cameron states that he will proceed immediately with the construction of all necessary buildings, etc, for the successful operation of his toll road. This is indeed a valuable property as it is the trail at the terminal of the Grand Canyon rail road and since the Santa Fe made a vigorous effort to gain control of it, and lost, it is now up to them to buy the trail or pay toll. They will, more than likely, make satis- factory arrangements in the near future, as the travel to the Canyon is ever increasing and it is their motto to give the people the best.

WHERE LIFE Is REAL.
Oreariness and Hardships OF tAe
Workers I'm Some Southern
Cotton Mills.

There is in corner of far south
ern state a little factory town, built
in the heart of radiant nature, where
blue skies, shining water and wood
crowned hills form q brilliant back
ground, against which the colorless
life of a cotton-mill people stands in
startling contrast.
Hurrying to and from the mills at
early morning, noon or evening you
can see here a throng ofweary women,
boys and girls, young in years and old
in faces-one and all stamped with
the mechanism of a work which has
crowded out of their lives beauty,
sweetness, ambition and aspiration.
They live in dreary houses, cramped
in space, without books or pictures or
music or social enjoy ment. They have
no recreatioSs, no comforts, and their
ignorance of all domestic science is
truly deplorable. Their homes are sell
dom well kept. Night workers from
the mill sleep almost all day in many
of the houses and Saturday afternoon,
the half holiday at the mill, is the only
available time for. some of the women
to attend to domestic duties. They
are always poorly clad. The fiimsy
cottons and cheap worsteds for which
they spend their hard-earned pittance
are usually gaudy receptions, which
never wear and lose all semblance of
color in the first washing.
Washday, by the way. is movable
feast in this district, for the women
are bound by no fossilized traditions
concerning Monday.
The most pitiable deficiency. how
ever, in the housekeeping of these poor
women, who have had so little time
or opportunity to learn, is their ina
bility to cook. They cannot properly
prepare the simplest food, and when
you see their unattractiye, indigesti-
bic meals, of heavy biscuit, ill-done
meats and indescribable slices of po-
tato, you can no longer wonder at the
pallid faces, poor constitutions and
early aging of the people.
There is not a man, woman or child,
though, in the whole community who
would not share the last crust of ILL
baked bread with you, for generosity
is their characteristic virtue.
They are singularly without inn
agination, says writer in the New
York Post. ''It wasn't drawed out of
them when they were children" and
no subtle touch of fancy ever gilds
the commonplace for them. The mill
is real; work is real; they must have
real money to buy real food; and any
thing that does not bear the hallmark
of materialistic reality is, to say the
least, suspicious. The very children
turn deaf ear to the most alluring
fairy tale. Fairies are foreign to the
environment.
Funerals. marriages and quarrels
are the diversions of the neighbor-
hood.
Funerals are of paramount interest,
being, as it were, outside mill limits,
and appealing to the sensational side
of their nature

In, colonial Virginia it was NOT
murder to slay ones slave, but Just
judge condemned such a criminal to
wear rope round his neck till death,
and present himself annually, at the
courthouse to the inspection of the
sheriff. What matter that the cord
was of silk and the condemned lived
at ease on his broad acres? He saw
himself pointed out wherever he
went, and gradually he became d
hermit, praying for death and con-
stantly declaring his punishment

SAD BUT LUCRATIVE.
Selling Cemetery Lots Is a Profitable
Business In the Larger
Cities.

at is no wonder that l dress in
black, for my business is the selling Of
cemetery lots. Is there anything in
the world more solemn"
The speaker, a fat man, lingering his
black tie, reported the Philadelphia
Record, resumed:
Il don't believe I'd ever make a sale
if wore gay, joyous colors. For most
of my patrons are people who have
suddenly lost near relative-couples
that have lost their first child, mainly
and their grief is profound as they
conduct this grastly business of buy
ing graveyard ground, and it is my
place to jar on them as little as posi-
BILE. Hence wear black and look grave.
MY work is sad, but it is saddest of
all when old couples-old, childless
couples-come to me to buy lots. A
couple are getting on in years. One
will soon be gone. 1t is necessary to
select lot in time. They make their
selection with care, consulting one an
other wistfully. They consider the
view. 10 is best, they think, to be on
an eminence. They consider the sub
ject Of shade. The fertility of the soil.
also. is an important question, for they
think that they will like flowers to
grow on their graves. 1890
Il admit" said the agent, "that /
make good deal of money. People,
You know, are in no mood for driving
bargains when they come to buy their
graves, and take advantage of that
fact. But my work is so sad that it
has to be very lucrative to keep me
at it." s4sxsfs 1880. -

/" THE LATE NIAGARA FALLS"
Will Soon BE Chasing It's Tail In a
Turbine Wheel Like a Gagged
Squirrel.

The Toronto Globe sings an elo-
quent lament over the passing of Nj
agara falls as another instance of
the resistless march of civilization, de-
nuding forests, slaughtering wild ami
mails and birds, Strengthening out
streams, leveling hills and filling up
valleys and obliterating the beauty
and degrading the grandeur of ma
lures handiwork. It foresees, says
the Chicago Tribune, the time nigh at
hand when 1.-The, cataract of Niagara
will be chasing its tail I'M al turbine
wheel like a Gagged squirrel" and de-
clares that eff the destruction of the
cataract can make a town grow up that
grew up somewhere else before or
would otherwise have grown up some
where else, the achievement will be
hailed as a success"
The only compensation our Canadian
contemporary sees is the possibility
that provision may be made for GER
tain Niagara days in all future con-
cessions. 1t says: st would be
splendid thing to be able to announce
that the Niagara falls would be turned
out 3om eight a. m. till 1853 p. m.
on certain date, when excursionists
would have an opportunity of seeing
the great wonder of nature in it's orr
ginal condition.
There is a vein of sad truth running
through the Globes satire. 1t is like
ly that the Niagara falls has seen it's
best day from the natural point of
view, and that hereafter its mission
may be to supply power and make
money for corporations. That seems
| to be the fate of all of natures handi-
work which is not under government
control, and even that part of it is
only saved from vandalism by con-
slant vigilance. But how is it to be
prevented? Progress is the law of the
world, and progress involves destruc-
| ton on the one hand or radical changes
| on the other, so that we may have
! fuel and light, material for building.
power for running street cars, pulp
| for paper, and supplies for numerous
| other useful purposes. Human neces-
/ sites increase with the march of civil
| ization, and what were luxuries cen
fury ago are necessities now. We APP
parently have reached that point
where nature must be called upon to
do her part. It would be better in
some respects if we could let nature
alone. The world would be more
beautiful and often healthier than it
is now. But still, the question comes
back. what can be done about it? The
most that our contemporary can do is
sternly to demand that the concession
aries hands. shall be kept off the
Horseshoe falls and that only the
! American shall "chase its tail in tur-
bine wheel like Gagged SQUIRREL
