Operation Successful

J. B. Jones informed us Thursday that he expects his wife to arrive home from Chicago next Monday. As stated in one of our recent issues Mrs. Jones has been a sufferer for some years with a trouble in one of her feet, believed to have resulted from stepping on a nail. A year or two ago she went to Boston and had an eminent specialist make an examination, being under his care for some months. Returning home the old trouble was experienced. This time she went to the St. Luke's hospital at Chicago, and the foot was operated on by Dr. McArthur, who writes MT. Jones that he is satisfied the same has been success ful and that his wife will suffer no further trouble. By the aid of the X-ray a diseased portion of bone near the sole of the foot was located and by an operation was later ex- tracted. The surgeon seemed to be very much elated over the success of the operation and stated in a letter to MT. Jones that he consid.
 cred it one of the successes of the age.

In the Police Court

Last Saturday night Chas. Giese, employed by Frank Miller, was ar rested on a misdemeanor charge and on Monday fined $50 by Jus tice Crawford. It seems that on Saturday a number of boys had been skating on Miller's pond and when Giese came up to water some horses they began tantalizing him. Finally he got mad and chased the boys and cracked Lilo Perrin over the head with skate.
 Tom Cox occupied the boards again this week. On Thursday he was bound over to the next grand jury on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon, the assault hav- ing been made on the person of An drew Smith, whom he cracked on the head with a pool or billiard ball. Cox seems to be a bad one, this being his fourth appearance in court in the past six months. On November 10th he was sent to the county jail for sixty days. In what manner he got out after only hay ing served month we know not, but he had only been out a day or two before he turned loose again.

GRAND CANYON
Grand Canyon, Dec. !, 'O5.


 Two of the engineers of the gov ernment geological survey party reached this camp last Tuesday from the north side of the canyon after long hard trip. Some idea of the snow and storm on that side may be had from the fact that they were one whole day going three miles. That is worse than Alaska. At one time the storm was so se- were that fearing they might not reach their destination, they tackled a note to a tree requesting the finder to inquire whether they had reached this camp safely. One man who had started with supplies across the river had not been heard from up to Tuesday.
 There has been skating up here for two weeks, but there were not enough skates to go around.
 Engineer Kendall made flying trp to Albuquerque last week.
 MT. and Mrs. Smith, who have charge of the Hopi house, expect to leave next week for a trip to Old Mexico.
 There has been considerable sick ness among the Indians at the Hopi building since the storm began some days ago.

Death of Mrs. Warren

In our last issue we stated that Mrs. Sarah Warren was danger ously ill from pneumonia. It is now our sad duty to chronicle her death, which occurred at her resi- dence in this city early last Mon day morning.
 Mrs. Warren was born at Ham mondsport, N. Y., of which state she was a resident till about eleven years ago, when with her husband she removed to Arizona and located at Congress. After spending about a year there they came to Williams, MT. M. B. Warren engaging in the jewelry business. He died at an advanced age in this city some five years ago. Mrs. Warren was member of the Baptist church and of the order of the Eastern Star. The funeral service was conducted Thursday afternoon at the ceme- tery by Rev. E. G. Decker of the M. E. church.
 On Wednesday evening Mrs. c. Cameron, of Brawley, Cal, arrived in the city to pay the last tribute of a sister to the departed one. At her request the funeral was not largely attended, only a few of the immediate friends being invited to attend.

Adversely of Business Men

of many men to push the embar-
raised business man instead OF
extending him helping hand or
giving him words Of encourage
ment is strongly characteristic
of many men. 1t should not, how
ever, be understood in this con-
nection that attempted fraud
should be concealed. The mean
ing to be conveyed is, that a
mans business affairs should be
his own as long as he is acting
squarely, and that not until the
opposite condition is plainly
shown should the public be ap-
prised.
Think twice before making

topic here today. This measure at
first launched by joke and later
waved threateningly over the
heads of saloonists who mixed IN

to live have one chief object-to become
good American citizens
This is, in effect, the declaration Of every
Syrian, high or low, rich or poor. who Is
questioned as to his life in America. There
are about 70, 900 Syrians in the United States
and Canada and 8,OCO in and around New
York.
The pioneer Syrians were regarded by
Americans with deep distrust, and some
of that feeling remains to this day Poverty
forced the humber ones who wished to
live in N ew York into an undesirable quarter
Of the city-Washington Carlisle, Rector
streets, West Broadway and vicinity and
the poorer parts Of Brooklyn and Jersey
City. Even now. when here are many
Syrians here who can we'll afford good
apartments and houses, the prejudice Ia 30
strong that landlords in the better districts
refuse to accept them as tenants.
The Syrians are the product OF tyranny
In their own country. and 1t has developed
at least an outward patience and gentle
ness. 1t has also developed passionate
appreciation Of the freedom Of America,
but unlike many races who thirst for free.
dom, the Syrians do not abuse 1t. They
are prominently law abiding.
It Is true they are shrewd and subtle.
They put up barrier of reserve which Is
not to be crossed. They seem always
cautious and on guard. This. also. Is the
result OF the tyranny, injustice and sus.
picion which have been accorded them.

the floor Of the second story having been
left out on account Of their necks.

itself over the wire netting which separated
them and was eying her refectively. From
that point she sent her voice up to him.
"I've been sent" she began. ito ask your

other eleven.
She dropped into q seat with several
others and looked up at the CRATES in the
same way that the country people look
up at the Flatiron building. It was very
good thing that their room was large.
They needed large room for the walking
