The ladies present wore cos tunes suggestive of the colonial days and had their hair parted in the mid dle and heavily powdered The CO., lonial idea was we'll carried out and if Washington could have stepped in at that hour he would not have felt much out of date.

LOST ADVERTISING SPACE.

| stooJi and gazed at the canyon grand At the beetling cliffs there faced, And thought of the advertising spac, That was simply going to waste. Ye bold steep cliffs and headlands That were worn by the river' course, How I'd like to write on your frown ing brows
 Of "Shreded wheat" and Force I'd write on the rocks, "chew Clima, plug
 "Use Early Riser pills, " "Mumm't Extra dryS' Lambs aXel grease, Or "KodoI cures all ills" And the murmuring cadence of winC and stream
 Tbat come not in sharps and flats, I'd pen you up in a zonophone To spiel of the "Stetson hats. '' And a big search light I'd work by night, To throw on the rocks below, How Lydia Pinkham cures all ills, ' Or, fuse SopolIo.' Oh headlands bold ye thrill me not! But I did get one good thrill, And that was after packed my grip, And got my hotel bill.

PresCOtt's Fire Apparatus.

About eight o'clock last evening a fire alarm was turned in and after some waiting and inquiry it was learn ed that the fire was in a small frame dwelling at No. 137 North Alarcon street owned by Mrs. Alderdice. The fire had caught in the ceiling from a defective flue but a bucket brigade had been organized among the neigh bors long before the fire department reached the place and the fire was practically out by the time water was turned or. There was some damage to the house by fire, but the contents of the place were thoroughly soaked with water and nearly ruined.
 The fire last night was only another note of warning to the city council to take up the matter of better fire pro- lection, not only to the business part of the city, but the residence portion as we'll.
 The volunteer departments are com posed of some of the bravest, strong est and best men of the city, who have time after time risked their lives to
 ave theIr neighbors' and friends property, and they have done some ex- cellent work on many occasions, hand icapped as they have been, and but for the unusual loyalty of the fire laddies, in trying to get along with any old thing that was provided for them, they would have become discouraged long ago.
 There is DO more important organi- zation Tn the city than our fire de- partment, but they have been shame fully neglected. They have worked with apparatus that they had to take their lives in their hands every time they started to a fire; they have near ly killed themselves dragging heavy old cumbersome apparatus up the hills on both sides of town when ap- paratus should have been stationed on top of the hills. Many of the best houses in the city are on top of the hills on both sides of the city and it is not fair to subject these places to such hazards for fire protection, con- sidering the amount of taxes paid by people who own this property, and compelling them to pay such rates for insurance. Some desperate effort should be made to provide more and better apparatus for the fire boys or some of these days they will grow tired of being stood off and Prescott will find herself without volunteer firemen.
 Another thing, the hook and ladder cart and hose cart located in the just back of the new Elks hall, will kill somebody some of these days. It is nearly impossible to get them out of the building without hay ing them run over somebody, on ac- count of the steep hill right in front of the door, This matter should be looked after and remedied if possible. |
 A few hundred dollars would go a long way toward improving the eff ,iency of the fire department, and the question arises, not can we afford it, but can we afford not to do it?

GRAND CANYON.

1 stood on the rim of the precipice, And viewed the canyon grand: And thought of the wonderful works of God,
 Compared with us.'s puuv hand. Oh, little and wicked aui weak is man,
 And full of his lust and pride; Ignoring the lesson once taught to us, By the Christ who was crucified. Those cliffs are Gods true record Of ages that have passed away, And the little span of the life of man Will scarcely mark the clay. Oh, spirit of grace, lead our steps aright;
 Teach us in life's great school, That justice is better than pelf or spoil
 And to live to the golden rule.
