INCORPORATING BUSINESS
The Last Month Far Exceeded
 the Average

The receipts of the office of the territorial auditor for last month from fees for articles of incorpora- tion were $2,90515, about $4OO more than the average monthly re- ceipts from this source. It was predicted at the time of the decis ion of Judge Kent in the case of the Black Warrior litigation, in which it was held that annual meet ings of corporations organized un- der the laws of the territory should be held in the territory, would rob Arizona of great deal of it's at tractiveness to intending operators. This was especially feared by the various companies in Arizona en- gagged in the incorporating business. But it turns out that the business since that decision has been heavier than before.
 A good deal of inquiry was made by officers of foreign corporations incorporated in Arizona regarding the decision. They learned, though, that they were not likely to be affected by it; that the decision was based upon a principal of law recognized everywhere and that it did not materially change the status of any company.
 It was not held in the first place that meetings of Arizona companies held outside the territory were nec- essarily void, but that they were voidable, only, however, at the in- stance of such stockholders as had not estopped themselves by taking part in such meetings. The ordina- ry business of corporations trans acted at annual meetings is apt to be harmonious and there would be no fault to find with it. In unusual cases in which minority stockhold- CTS might absent themselves from the meetings for the purpose of making subsequent trouble, the na- ture of the business desired to be transacted might be outlined and transacted by proxy at meeting held within the territory. That would be a slight inconvenience, but it seems would be one which would seldom arise.

WILL INVADE THE CANYON
Plan of Capitalists to Construct
 a Marvellous Railroad

Eastern capitalists and engineers have revived the project of a great scenic railroad through the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and it is said that a careful investigation of the plan is to be made in the near future and if the engineering diff culties can be overcome, to attempt the construction, says the Albu- querque Journal. The project is not new one.
 Robert Brewster Stanton was in charge of two surveying parties that tried in 1880 to run feasible line through the marvellous succession of gorges which culminate in that colossal earth-rift, the Grand Can yon. He fortunately came out alive. Many of his associates were drowned in the wicked rapids and whirlpools. The story of their wild plunge through unknown dangers is as thrilling as any romance.
 The scheme on it's face seems inn possible. It would daunt even the courageous and resourceful Japs. In places granite walls tower ab- ruptly from the waters edge thou sand feet skyward before the inner plateaus are reached. In the gran ite gorge section a railroad track cannot be laid near the water level, even by spending millions of dol lars for blasting, because the river in flood times has been known to rise fifty feet in day. Yet some optimistic men have recently or ganized the Grand Valley, Colorado River and Southern Pacific railroad company to survey line through this hitherto impossible region. Their project is on paper only. It may go no further.
 Meanwhile thousands of Ameri- cans annually visit the Grand Can yon of Arizona by way of the Santa Fe from the south, content to leave the cars on the rim and descend to the river on horseback.

The Earth.

The Santa Fe passenger depart ment in Chicago commenced the publication of monthly journal entitled "The Earth" with a sub- title, especially the best part of it, the Great Southwest"
 It will be devoted to exploiting the resources and business condi- tions generally of the Pacific coast and other southwest territory reached by the Santa Fe system. Especial attention will be given to the farming and fruit raising in dustries, and correspondence is in- vited from persons interested in such matters. The editor is Capt. Jas. w Steele, former editor of the "Corn Belt," and of wide experi- ence. His address is, care A. T. & s. F. By, Railway Exchange Build ing. Chicago, Ill.
 The journal will have a guaran- teed circulation of 25,OOO monthly, principally among farmers and others in the Middle West.
 The subscription price is p cents per year, but special offer is made to send it to six addresses for six months for 50 cents. This is good opportunity for people hereabouts to secure a copy for themselves and each of five eastern friends at very nominal rate. Copies of "The Earth" may be seen at Santa Fe ticket offices.

The eight inch bulls eye counts 12, and outside of this are rings about 1a inches apart, graded down from II to 1. The adoption of this target was made by the club because it was thought when an eight inch bullseye was shot the full score of 12 should be given those planting bullets within the circle.

OUR TOWN ELECTION
Voters Make Their Choice by
 Good Maiorities

Last Monday saw the second city election in Williams since the in corporation of the town almost three years ago, and while the vote was not as heavy as it was two years ago, it could be accounted for by the fact that the lines were drawn more closely as to who were entitled te vote. Two years ago the total number of ballots cast was 2S2, while on last Monday there were but 22S.
 There were but five (the requisite number) for the council, and but eight votes difference between the highest and lowest for these offices. F. R. Nellis receiving the largest number, will succeed himself as mayor.
 For town clerk, E. G. Dubois had no competition and won in a walk.
 R. K. Farnsworth, though an old soldier and pretty badly crippled at times with rheumatism, got up and ran like a house afire, winning in the race for street supervisor by handsome majority. Most of the interest in the cleo. tion was centered about the race for the marshalship. Four candi- dates were in the field and each had carriage out hustling voters to the polls. Considerable interest was manifest, as this is an important office, and the count of the ballots gave some people quite a surprise. Dave Raudebaugh says he was only running as josh anyway.
 Those who officiated at the polls were: Inspector, H. F. Adams; judges. Geo. w. Martin, H. L. Ap- hold; clerks, J. P. Doyle, James Bradshaw and G. Angelo; marshal, H. c. (Rube) Adams.
 The count as completed at S:15 pm. was as follows:

Now that the question of town officers has been settled for the next two years, things will go on much as before. With the excep- tion of J. H. Hudson the council remains the same. James Kennedy succeeds himself as marshal, as does Ed. Dubois, town clerk. R. K. Farnsworth is a new man also for the office of street supervisor. It will thus be seen that there are but two new men elected to office.

p. C. BlCKNELL DEAD
Passing of an Arizona Pioneer
 Newspaper Man

News has been received from Prescott to the effect that Pier pont c. Bicknell died yesterday in the hospital at that place after an extended illness.
 Though Mir. Bickneli has lived in Yavapai county for many years, he was formerly citizen of Phoenix, and few men were better known among the old timers in this valley. He was, though, an Arizonan in the broadest sense of the word, his per- sonal interest in Arizona affairs not being confined to any particular section. He travelled all over the territory at one time or another, was we'll informed respecting it's early history and was considered an authority as to its physical re- sources, both developed and dor mant. He gave particular atten- tion to the mining industry, and there was little going on in the way of mineral development that he was not appraised of. He was a news paper man by profession, though his later years were devoted mainly to correspondence for various pa rers, both at home and abroad, which correspondence was mainly devoted to recounting the develop ment of the mining industry, though he often devoted himself to the diffusion of technical informa- tion respecting the geology and formation of particular districts. His special pride was the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, in the vicinity of which he found much of interest in a mineral way, and was largely concerned in the develop ment of promising properties there. He had a more intimate knowl- edge of that region than any other professional writer.
 But Mr. Bickrell was not entire ly engrossed with those things that pertain to dollars and cents. He had much of the humorous, the sentimental and the ideal in his nature, and his writings, particu- larly in the early days when Ari- zona was terra incognito, em- braced many stories that were both interesting and instructive, such as anecdotes whose setting was this wonderful western land and short stories on the flora and fauna of the Rocky mountain region. He was at one time regular contributor to the Youths Companion and to various far eastern journals of a general literary character. His local newspaper work was done for the most part on the journals of the territory previous to ten years ago, and the offices who recognized "Bick" as a familiar spirit em- braced almost the entire territorial directory. He had no immediate family, and had the faculty of be- ing at home wherever he chanced to be. His nearest relative in Ari- zona was cousin, F. Minor, of this city, his native state being New York. Financially, he had his ups and downs, as did all the early set tiers, and he will be remembered not so much for his achievements in that line as for his pleasing friendship and his fidelity to every trust.-Republican, April 1.
 MT. Bicknell's remains were laid to rest Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock in the Prescott cemetery.
