 Attorney Fred w. Morrison came here Wednesdayev from King man. He was on his way to Phoe- nix; a washout on the Peavine caused a delay at the Forks, and as no beds were obtainable there, he came on here to get one. He was accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Gideon.
 Several of our citizens seem to have taken advantage of Porter Tor rey's offer to furnish information regarding the new town of Las Vegas, Nevada. D. A. Mcdonald, Joe Johnston and Dr. Rounseville have each received a letter from Porter, in which he speaks in glow ing terms of the outlook for the place. He says he is getting $4 per day, working as a carpenter and is going to stay there for some time.
 Mrs. J. o. Dodge was a visitor in the city last Saturday from the Canyon, remaining over till Mon- day. On another page of this issue appears an article from her pen rel ative to the opening of the new Fl Tovar hotel. During the past she has been very kind to the NEWS and has furnished us many inter esting letters, one of which appeared two weeks since when we published the view of the hotel.

 When at Flagstaff Thursday we met Dan McKiernan, one of the camp foremen for the Arizona L. & T. Co.,, when the following conver- sation took place: "Hello, MT. Nc Kiernan."

Burns since 1892, and the promotion, as stated above, is a source of qualification to his many friends, as it shows that his services have been of the best and are appreciated by the company. Hon. John H. Page came in Thursday from Grandview on his way to attend the meeting of the legislature at Phoenix, being the councilman from this county. MT. Page stated that the fall of snow at Grandview was quite heavy, it be- ing about two feet on the level, and that it was necessary to hitch four mules to light blackboard to make the sixteen miles to Grand Canyon. That day he and the writer went to Flagstaff and made trip out to the Normal building, where we were shown every courtesy by Prof. A. N. Taylor.

 This section was treated to one of the old-fashioned blizzards a fellow reads about occasionally the first of the week. It commenced showing and raining early Monday and kept it up almost continuously till Thursday. During that time it is estimated that at least three feet of snow had fallen on the level, while up in the hills the fall was much greater. All day Wednesday the wind howled and the snow drifted very badly. The mill was com pelled to shut down during the day on account of the storm.
