Communication.
Ell Tovar, Grand Canyon,

Here we are at the Grand Car
yon of Arizona, the most won-
derful place | have ever seer.
The rates at the hotel are from
Sd to $40 per day. Thi; is an
immense building mac Of logs,
floors polished, with the Nuvaio
Indian rugs, large fire plac $,
moose, deer, and buffalo heads
all around the dining room, and
all but the parlors are of this
natural log finish. The old Rus
sian furniture all over the house
and electric lightsare furnished
by four small logs crossed and
Lighted at each end. 1t is the
most beautiful building / ever
saw.
The Canyon from this hotel
is 13 miles across, very deep, a
Vivid red and yellow with the
purple shade toward the tor,
Through the center runs the
Colorado river. We went down
the canyon a little ways
far enough to see the halfway
house. To go to the river is an
Jail day ride and that a narrow
trail, and we have not, as yet,
had the courage to undertake
the ride. We drove out today
to view the Canyon. Near the
hotel is the Hofi House, built
some two years ago, or at the
time this hotel was, and in it is
Hofi tribe of Indians. This tribe
have been seen by very few
people, they live some $50 MS,
distant, and are the most prim-
tive Indians in the country and
cling to their rude way of liv-
ing. This house is a re-produc-
ton of the house of their home,
two and three story, stone OUT
side and adobe inside. They
make the celebrated Navajo
blankets, and extensive and
beautiful pottery, both of which
| saw them making. Every
