Be in Operation.

Dexter. Me-, April PA rumor,
which seems to have considerable
foundation, is in circulation about

The New Art Calendar.

A reporter on the st. Louis Globe
Democrat thus discourses on the new
art calendar:
One of these days about this time in
December we shall expect people to
begin bringing in magnificent oil
paintings, which, on close inpsection,
will show hidden in one corner a cal
endar for the coming year. Bewildered
as we are now by the rose colored
magnificence that flaunts from its en-
bossed front, the calendar of the fu-
ture will defy one to find out when
comes the Fourth of July in less
than half an hours search. Maidens
fair with purple hair, or green or
pink, will distract your attention
from your purpose. We should like a
calendar made for business. One that
doesn't persistently remind you of
chewing gum and life insurance. We
ask no picture book or portrait gal
lery, no wealth of Autograph, and the
days of the month modestly hiding
like the violet in one corner, requir-
ing a pair of glasses to spy them.
Give US each day our daily day, and
don't ungererously split a square be-
tween two days in order to save half
an inch of paper on the bottom.
Every dog has his day, and every day
should have his own private compart-
ment. There should be no upper
berths on this train of the seasons.

as to the ACCESSIBILITY of creating a
government park at each one of them
and placing a custodian in charge of
them in order to keep visitors from
destroying the prehistoric ruins at
the we'll and to preserve the castle
which is the finest specimen of the
prehistoric dwellings in the United
States. Mr.. Holsinger informs the
Journal Miner that he will strongly
recommend that one section be set
aside as a government park at Monte
zuma's Well and that two sections be
set aside at Montezuma's Castle, and
that a custodian be placed in charge
of them.
Several months ago Mr.. Holsinger
was requested by the secretary of the
interior to make a report on this mat
ter, but before the report was made he
was transferred to the department of
agriculture and could not finish his
report. A short time ago the secretary
of the interior specially requested the
secretary of agriculture to detail Mr..
Holsinger to make this report which
was done, and the report will now be
forwarded to Washington so that a
bill may be drawn up and introduced
at this session of congress in conform
ity with the recommendation.
