tiny Easter egg was dropped in the

In the year 1900 the Santa Fe car
ried Sl3 passengers to the Grand Can
yon of Arizona; in 1903 the number
is given as II, 7o4-a remarkable in
crease, partly due to better transpor-
tation and hotel facilities, but mainly
the result of persistent and consistent
advertising. The gain over 1902 is more
than 6OO0 being nearly double. When
tine new 500, 600 hotel at Bright An
gel (now buIlding) is ready, another
big jump in the visitors total may
be looked for. Evidently other Am
orleans than President Roosevelt are
finding out that the Grand Canyon
is 1.-The one great sight which every
American should see.' In the early
days of the stage line from Flagstaff
three out of every four tourists came
from foreign lands; today patriotic
Americans outnumber the uitlander a
hundred to one.
