New Road to Grand Canyon

Senator w. A. Clark, owner of the United Verde mine at Jerome, through his San Pedro, Los Angeles x Salt Lake road, is reported to be reaching out for tourist business to scenic canyons, and will soon be a competitor of the Santa Fe in the Grand Canyon of Arizona.
 The Clark road runs within 26 miles of the canyon, and it is in- tended to build the connecting spur especially for the tourist business.
 The survey of the 26 miles of road from Las Vegas, New, to the rim Of the canyon has been com pleted and the work of grading and laying the track will be commenced within few days.
 The canyon extends from the southern part of Utah to a, point a few miles north of Needles, Cal, and is impossible for almost the

Gun Toters, Beware

Last Sunday Marshal Kennedy heard some shooting up on the hill in>the south part of town and went up to. investigate. After visiting all the houses it developed that Councilman James H. Hudson was the only man in that end of town who was away from home with his gun, so the marshal told Mrs. Hud- son to tell her husband upon his return to consider himself under arrest. On Monday Jim appeared in the justice court and stated that he had been shooting all right, but that he had been outside the city limits, away up on the hill east of the stone quarry. Owing to the damp and heavy atmosphere the shots had sounded as if they were just back of the school house. The judge dismissed the case, but other gun toters would better look out, as the marshal is no respector of persons, '

At the properties of the Derby Mining company, in Yavapai coun- ty, last Sunday, lightning struck and shattered tree and killed a burro which was standing beneath the tree. Six hundred feet from the tree struck is the Derby Mining company's shaft. This shaft is down 100 feet and drift extends 600 feet from the bottom of the shaft. The men working on the face of the drift received severe shock when the lightning struck 300 feet above them. The men at the bottom of the shaft received no shock, show ing that the bolt struck the ledge exposed on the surface, followed the ledge through the earth and shocked men working 300 feet below.-Pres-. colt Courier.

PENNEY AGAINST
 JOINT STATEHOOD

The Buffalo Evening News, of Aug 29, prints the following:
 D. H. Pinney, former associate justice of Arizona, is visiting old friends in Buffalo. Justice Pinney is an old western New Yorker, who moved years ago to Joliet, Ill and was appointed associate justice for the territory of Arizona by the late President Arthur. He was sent to Washington by the Territorial Bar association of Arizona last winter to fight the bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico into the union as one state. In an interview today he cited many objections to the proposition.
 "The people of Arizona, irrespec- tive of political party, are aunit against union with New Mexico" said Justice Pinney, "and as: 1 un- derstand the situation, only: small part of the people of New Mexico are in favor of it. ~ The people of Arizona prefer to:have the territory remain as it is for all time rather than to be joined with New Mexico. Under President Lincoln's ad- ministration, because the territory was too large for the people to transact the territorial business, Arizona was separated from New Mexico. Since that time Arizona and New Mexico have gone on building up and improving in their own way, but not precisely along the same lines. Arizona today is in splendid condition, and its prospects for the future never looked so bright as now. It's territorial capitol and it's educational build ings have been established at great expense to the people. Its business enterprises and its business meth ods of doing business are unlike and distinct from the methods that pre- vail in New Mexico. There is noth- ing in common between the people of the two territories. The people of New Mexico are as alien to the people of Arizona as the inhabitants of the Ghetto are to the residents of Fifth avenue in New York"
 "Where did the bill to unite the territories originate?" was asked.
 "The Lord only knows," Unanswered Justice Pinney. Ut provides that the capital of the joint state shall be at Santa Fe, New Mexico, thus doing away with Phoenix, the cap ital of Arizona, forever. If such a bill should be passed a state would thus be established which would be larger than New York, Pennsylva- nia, Michigan and all the New England States put together. The distance from the present capital of Arizona to the proposed capital of the joint state would be 800 miles and it would require two days to go and two days to come from it. If this can be called a government of and by the people, then the peo- pie of Arizona don't know what the phrase means, and as one man they propose to fight such an enforced and unholy union."

IN LOOKING
 UP THE QUESTION

The Coconino Sun of Sept. 2d contained the following:
 "E. M. Doe, who has been look ing up the question of the taxation of the Grand Canyon railroad, has reached the conclusion that the road is subject to taxation and is of the opinion that mandamus should be brought against the territorial board of equalization to cause them to en- ter this property on the tax roll"
 Mir. Doe is somewhat late in Hooking up the question" He was the district attorney of the county during the years 1903 and 1904 (during which period the Grand Canyon railroad occupied the same status, with reference to it's taxa bility, as it now occupies), and dur ing those years doubtless had time to look into the question and make the necessary demand upon the territorial board of equalization to put said railroad upon the tax roll, but there is no evidence that he did SO.
 The district attorney, within the past two months, made close in- vestigation of the law relating to the taxability of the Grand Can yon railroad. and; on the 23d of July, 1905, prior to the August meeting of the board, filed with the Hon. Wesley A. Hill, as chairman of the territorial board, written request, application and demand that the said railroad be placed on the tax roll, submitting at the same time complete record of the or ganization and transfer of said rail road, together with some very per tinent law and facts supporting the contention that the said railroad is taxable.
 Since that date this request was repeated and three telegraphic in- quiries made as to what, if any, ac- ton said board had taken, the latest reply being to the effect that no ac- tion had been taken "as yet"
 To date this office has performed it's full duty in the premises and it now rests with the territorial board and the attorney general, as the legal adviser of that body, to con- slider and pass upon the question. and it is the opinion of this office that legal proceedings may not, with any reasonable hope of suc- cess, be instituted to compel said body to place the railroad upon the tax roll until that body shall have either rejected the application of the district attorney or failed to act upon the application at all.
 Considering the exceptional dili- gence the board exercised during it's recent session, this office is war ranted in believing that this ques- tion of railroad taxation so urgent ly brought to its attention by the district attorney, has received, and will receive, such consideration and action as the importance of the sub- ject requires. Meanwhile the duties of this office will quietly be performed with activity and industry without fear of any one or favor to any one, and without any ostentation, advertise ment or display.

Found His Burro
persons,

Some time before the first of July last MT. Esau Lamb rented burro to a Mexican and the latter allowed the animal to escape from him. Search for the burro was unavail- ing and it was not heard from until last week when MT. w. J. Parker, operator at Supai, found the re- mains of the animal in a canyon not far from that point. The bridle rein had become entangled in some way and the burro had slowly starved to death. Some one, though. had evidently found the animal at an earlier day, as the saddle was missing. Mir. Lamb says it would have been impossible for it to have lost off, as it had both front and rear breeching.

Rupert Maxgut, the Prescott brewer, who was arrested in this city few days ago on information from Prescott, where hew charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, was released at his pre- liminary hearing upon motion of the district attorney. It will be re- membered that Matgut was alleged to be indebted to the Gold Coin sa- loon of Jerome for nearly $2OOO. This, he said, was Q gambling debt. It seems that Maxgut has about $1O, ,OOO worth of stock in the Pres colt brewery. He was it's manager but has now been deposed, though he still retains that interest. The owner of the saloon where he be- came indebted was under the inn pression that Maxgut had disposed of his interest in the brewery and was about to leave the country when he came to Phoenix. As soon as it was learned that Maxgut still retained his interest in the brewery his stock was attached.-Gazette.

The Piano Contest will be
Over
WORK COUNTS NOW
The Candidates will Strain every Nerve
to Win. 1t Is Expected to be
Close One,

In six weeks and two days the con.
test will be over and some of the
young ladies who are now working
hard will have won the prizes offered.
As the time nears for the final count
ing up the candidates are working
harder and harder to gain the first
prize. From this time on food Of
votes is expected. There are over
100, 900 votes held back by the parties
entitled to vote that will come in dur
ing that time. These are certificates
issued from the Office on payment Of
money and which have not as yet ap-
peared in the contest. Besides these
there have been. sent out from this
Office in the regular issues of The
Courant since the opening of the con-
test on September 1st total of 90, 904
free coupons good for 239. .04o votes.
Undoub btedly large number of these
have been clipped from the paper and
will yet be sent in to swell the con-
test. For this reason there can be
no certainty about any one candidate
winning. With over three hundred
thousand votes yet to be registered even
on of those having only a few votes
now might prove to be winner. No
matter how large margin a candi-
date may have it is not safe to lose a
mument now. No matter how few
votes a candidate may have it is not
wise to cease work. Remember the
contest is not won by anyone until
the last vote is registered and tie
polls do not close until midnight
on the last day in this year. Work
hard until the last minute. Don t
fail to impress upon your friends the
value of clipping the coupons. They
count. Go after new subscriptions.
Collect for arrearages. Get your
friends to solicit for you. Make ev-
cry moment count. Work will win.
