river 3 10 feet widt; but why should IT
The depth of the canyon Is almost
@ 1000 feet. or over a mile; and the
nearest route to the river from this
D lint Is in excess of five miles. and a
very rough Que too. One may try 10
follow the silver ribbon, either up or
down It's course, but 1t is soon lost
amid it's rugged setting and only the
canyon's conglOmeration Of towers and
chasms remain to greet the eve, which
lend heir protection to the river for
a distance of more than two hundred
miles.
To descend these rugged canyon
walls TO the river is no easy tasa.
Nevertheless the trip is well WOO tn itr
hardships. There are four routes by
which the descent may be made-the
Grand Viewathe Bright Angel, the
Mystic Spring and the Hance trails
1t is almost impossible TO say which
is the easiest for they are all hard. The
Bright Angel Trail, however, is tn
one most frequently travelled. This
probably because it leaves the FL
Tovar hotel, which is located at tue
canyon end of the Santa Fe railroa
branch. The Grand View trail whic"
is also quite well Datronized. s reac Ie(
by drive of t 1 m es east from
Tova and to the MysJ,c Spr ny Ira
it is a drive Of twenty three mile

hardly be realized. One stands on the
rim at the head of the Bli Sht An!e
Trail, near the El Tovar hotel and
gazes with sort Of dizziness across
the nnnumbered towers aud crevises,
c0lOnnades and gulches, cathedral
spires and yawnIng chasms. At this
point the canyon is thirteen miles
across--as far, almost. as the eye can
reach, and to say that the scene is
grand expresses it very mildly indeed.
1t Is picture that no ones magma
tion eau portray. The eroded
walls of The canyon glow with many
bright colors, as though they had been
stepped in dyes of many hues. There
are trees, too that girth the canyon
with hoops of green; and then, as the
halo to the whole, vari cOlored at
mosphere, blending mainly towards
purple, seems to envelope tAe rugged
area and causes it to repose as If
swathed in soft celestial fires. 1t at
times reminds ore of a vast area
covered with the crumbling ruins Of
elegant castles-a dead city OF an IN
known world, weird and uncauny
The picture is not yet complete
The onlooker gazes over the nearer
tower of flower-colored stone, and far
beneath him, winding along at the
base Of the castle like formations like
a silvery snake, he beholds what he is
told is the Colorado river. 1t is true
that is would not be- recognized rs \

To Correspondents and Subscribers

The News wants the news from every postoffice and township ID Washington County. and to do thls we must depend largely on our sub, scribers at points where We have no regular correspondent. We would like to mention every birth, every death and accident, fires, etc., that occurs and if you have no cores pondent in your locality will you please send us this information as it occurs? Oftentimes it will require only postal card, and if you want to write regularly for The News please notify us and we will send you stationery and in addition will send you the paper free of charge Our friends tell us The News is the best paper in Washington County, but we have an ambition to make It still better and with the aid of our sub subscribers this can be done.
 Correspondents in sending in items will please observe the following h. Struetlens and thereby add consider ably to the value of their work:
 ALA WIS mail letters so they will reach us not later than Tuesday, and we would prefer having them reach Qo LID 10 oi dUliIOoU portance. There is never week passes that we do not receive items too late for publication. and if you want to avoid this send them in early.
 In writing proper names always be very particular to spell the same cor rectlY and write it so plain that the conn mpOSitor can tell what it is at a glance. 1t not infrequently happens that items have to be left out entirely because the name of some person is so poorly written that it cannot be deciphered.
 i Always leave space of one line be- tween each item, and write on one side of the paper only.
 Never put "Mr.n before a gentle mans name, except where it occurs in connection with that of his wife, as "Mr and Mrs. John Jones. It is Superfluous and unnecessary. Don't abreviate the name of a state or territory unless the name oi the town is also given. Don't say
 John Jones has gone to the l. T. on
 visit" but it is proper to say that
 John Jones has gone to Black jack
 l. T., on a visit. :" Also do not ab
 reviate the days of the week.
 Do not make mention of the visits of one neighbor to another.

Dear Miss Miller:-
During the absence of Mr..

viii be the Cry Of the Confed-

SUCCESSFUL MEETING
AT NEW ORLEANS.

The sixteenth annual reunion
of he United Confederate
Veterans came to a close In New
Orleans Friday, April 9th.
The present officers of the or.
ganization were reelected by
acclamation there being no nom
nations against any of them.
The report of the committee
on credentials was adopted and
gave the total number of camps
represented as 755 and the ag-
gregate number of votes as p
313.
Hopkins county was represent
ed by the following from Earling.
ton, Mortons Gap, IIsley and ST..
Charles: Dan M. Umstead, Maj.
+. b. Harris, Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
ert Hart, Mrs. Richard Salmon,
Mrs. w. G.. Wright, Mr.. and
Mrs. Woodruff. All of them re-
port a pleasant trip and an ex-
cellent time at the reunion.
Richmond, Va, was selected
by acelamation as the place for
holding the next reunion, the
only other place indicating de.
sire for the meeting being
Birmingham, Ala. But the SEN
timent was SO strong in favor of
historic Richmond the advocates
of Birminghtm did not allow the
matter to come to vote, and
withdrew in favor of Richmond
before the roll call was ordered.
The fact that the jefferson
Davis monument is to be un-
yelled in Richmond next year
was a potent factor with many
of the old soldiers and they were
exceedingly anxious that the
meeting be held there. Viewed
from a business standpoint the
reunion was uneventful.
The chief e W measures
adopted were: recommending to
different states that pensions be
paid slaves now living who
followed their masters to war,
and the setting apart of one day
in each year for memorial ser.

ROY HENRY NOT TO BLAME
Went at Once To Henry Jones After Acct
dental Shooting. Did all He Could.

An incorrect item crept into
the last issue of The BEE in con.
nection with brief report of the
accidental shooting of Henry
Jones. This. first opportunity is
taken to correct this report and
to express regret that the error
shonld have been made. The re-
port stated that after the acct
dental discharge of the rifle,
which inflicted a flesh wound in
the calf of Mr.. Jones' leg, Mr..
Henry ran away without going
to see what injury had been in
flicted. This was incorrect and
did Mr.. Henry injuries. He was
on the contrary, very much con
cerned over the accident, went
at once to Mr.. Jones, helped
him TO the hospital and staid to
see the extent of the wound and
to see that it was dressed. THE
BEE knows that Mr.. Henry has
been much disturbed over this
erroneous report and regrets the
error exceedingly.
