Part of his time he spent at Williams the balance visiting the sights and scenes at the Grand Canyon. MT. Kinney said he would not attempt to tell how the grand gorge appeared to him for 1t was too big and ove:whelm- ing to even attempt to describe. His visit however ne enjoyed very much. Regarding the territorial fair MT. Kin ney says he is of the opinion that many of the residents of the northern county will visit Phoenix during the fair dates. A line of advertising of the big show through that section he said would not be amiss Most of the resi- dents have been in the habit in past years of going to the fair at Albuquer- que but if they can be interested in the Arizona fair they would no doubt pre- fer to come here.

 FOR A VACATION-J W. Spear. city editor of The Republican. left yesterday morning for a couple of weeks vacation at his old home in St. Joe. Mo He makes Q practice of talk ing a little vacation every ten years. not so much because he needs a rest as to demonstrate that newspaper man can travel if he wants to just like any other millionaire. As MT. Spear is widely known as Little James" | whose philosophy has appeared in weekly installments in this paper for some years past, and in language that ] shows a real philosophers disregard of the books. particularly the spelling book. a rumOr has gained currency that Little James has been sent away ! to school for a short course in English. 1 This is not true and if he has any ul- | terior motive it is to call personally i
 
 republic in the interest of his demo- | cratic friend R. H. Drane. who was i recently busted from the office of Mis- | souri consul by D. P. Kyle, a staunch | republican who has the endorsement { of the national administration.
 BEAT BY INDIAN PONY-Oficer ] A. J. Moore may have had some very high ideas Of his ability as a horscman but if he did they have all been taken ! out of him. And that too by a crowd i of Yaqui Indians. Yesterday afternoon 1 mounted on a buckskin pony he rode into the south eastern part of the city. : Near the old NJ. & P. depot he noticed a crowd and thinking his services as an officer might be necessary he rode | towards it. Arriving there he found q ! discussion on as to the running ability l of what looked to him to be an h. dian pony. That the power of the pony [ might be tested he offered to bet its ] owner that his buckslIn could beat the | pony for a distance of 200 yards That | was about the worst kind of a talk | MT. Moore could have made for a col l lection was soon gathered up among ! the Yaquis and a purse of $35 put up l on the result. Officer Moore, mounted | on h:s buckskin, was even with the h. | dian pony only at the start. At the ! finish well that is just as well left | unsaid for according to the rules of | most any old track he was so far be- | hind that he would have been declared 1 distanced. He has but one consolation l that is that tine Yaquis could raise | but $35 for had they raised more he | undoubtedly would nave covered it.
