La Mike and Musga were. on the night
of Dec II last. in the saloon of Nick But
kovich. on Third West street. They went
out with several other Austrians and in
a scuffle Musga was stabbed in the back
and robbed Of SIG. La Mike was arrested
and lodged in Jail, where he has been
resting up TO yesterday. Musga went TO
the hospital, getting out early in Jan
uary. During February he got into
fight and was arrested on charge OF
attempting to commit murder.
Both the accused and Musga have ap-
parently patched up their differences
since they have been in Jail together, be-
cause Musga remembered absolutely moth

The timber is in fairly good condition.
There was a bad fire two years ago

fine forest, but there is little danger Of
its recurrence because of the vigilance
of the superintendent and his corps of

there was the taint of leprosy, though

night sitting at dinner he became an
CRY at waiter and brought his hand
down on the table with full force. He
instantly realized that he did not feel
the blow and sat looking at his hand,
his face whitening with horror. Give
me your knife, Bob,' he said to his
chum. He grabbed the pocketknlfe in
a frenzy and stabbed the side of his
hand with vicious cuts from finger
tips to wrist. You may not know that
leprosy appears in the side of the hand,
numbness being a sign. The man did
not feel the cuts. He arose from the
table, knocking over his chair, rushed
out into the courtyard Of the hotel. and
we heard the quick tang of a revolver
shot. telling lis how he had conquered
the leper's curse by ending his life"

Congress, at its last session, was
asked to appropriate money for monu-
ment to John Wesley Powell, to be
erected somewhere on the rim Of the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado, which
he was the first white man to explore.
His achievement differed from those Of
other explorers in that they followed
routes or trails more or less known to
the aborigines, while his way was
through a chasm so tremendous, so ap-
palling In its vastness, so filled with
hidden perils that even the natives
reared and Stunned 1t. Until after
Powell and his companions passed
through the terrific depths of the Grand
Canyon what the world had known of it
was mostly based upon Mythical tales
told by the Indians, or some hunter or
prospector. Stories were related of
parties entering the gorge in boats, and
being carried down with fearful We
locity into whirlpools, where all were
overwhelmed. Others told of under.
ground passages Of the madly rushing

river, into which boats had been car
ried, never to reappear. 1t was cur
rently believed that the river was lost
under the rocks for several hundred
miles, and that any attempt to ride its
surface meant certain death. There
were stories of great catracts, from
which the roaring music of the waters
could be heard on the submits of dis
tant mountains. and there were ac-
counts of parties wandering on the
brink of the canyon, vainly endeavoring
to reach the waters below, and, finally
dying from thirst within sight and hear
ing of the river, which seemed to mock
their distress. The mysteries of the
canyon were woven into the mouths of
the religion Of the Indians.
The. Grand Canyon of Arizona is
within government forest reservation
sixty by eighty miles in size. About
two-thirds Of it Is on the eastern and
the other third ON the western side.

way to the Grand Canyon. Last year,
which was the first since the railroad
was opened, about 10000 people came
This year, If the present average keeps
up, there will be from 10000 to 25,OOO
visitors, and every one who comes goes
home a walking advertisement for the
place. There is nothing to compare
with it anywhere in the world. 1t is
impossible to eXaggerate the grandeur
the sublimlty, the impressiveness of the
scenery; and its fascination cannot be
accurately described. 1t is impossible
for one man to express his emotions to
another.
1t is singular fact that three
fourths Of the people who come to the
canyon are women. A large number
of them are well along in years, and
the endurance and the nerve they show
is extraordinary. Nearly every woman
who comes insists upon going down tc
the bottom Of the canyon, while only
half of the men show that amount OF
energy.

Were a canal of the size of the pro

Grand Canyon it would appear hardly
larger than a baby ribbon to a spec

to obtain enough earth to fill the Grand
Canyon it would be necessary to exca-

The Grand Canyon is like an inverted

Japan is bent on peace by pointing out
that the financial problem of Japan is

Despite the steadily improving In
dustrial conditions, we still OCCASION
| ally read of the suicide of some man
who has searched in vain for work and
despairs of finding it before his last
cent Is spent. Such suicides are often
due IN reality to other than industrial
causes, but when they are the result
or inability to find employment they
are among the most pitiable facts of
our national life. Helpless to put an
END entirely to the conditions that
bring them about, society must for the
great part watch them as one of the
symbolic indications Of good or bad
times. Fortunately the number of
genuine cases of this kind has this year
been very small. OF late factories that
were closed have been reopening their
doors, and Others that were working
part time have increased their forces.
Ii Is true that the applicants for work
under such circumstances are still al
most certain to be more numerous than
the places to be filled, but the dispro-
portion Is steadily decreasing. The
statistician of the state bureau of la
Dor statistics for New York has re-
Gently given out figures of the extent
OF lack of employment during the first
quarter Of the year. Whereas in some
previous years industry has been so
active that the weather conditions have
been chiefly responsible for the idle
ness of such men as had no work at
that season, this year the closing of
| factories and reduction of forces have
been responsible for many times as
much idleness as all other causes com.
| D1ned. That, however, was for the
hrst quarter of the year. For the
second quarter the compilation of fig
ures has not gone far enough to per-
NIT results in percentages to be an
nounced, but the returns already show
a very great Improvement. The mid.
Ole OF May was the time when the
marked Improvement began. and now
the Improvement is evident in all lead
ing lines of industry. The indications
all are that the industrial backset WAS
only of a temporary nature, and that II
will pass away without leaving serious
scars.

The totals of fire loss in this coun-
try may signify little to the average
mind, but the comparative figures
should mean much. The figures issued
by the national board of fire underwrit-
ers show that the average fire loss per
capita In the United States for the last
five years was S3.02, against 33 cents
for six European countries, including
France, Germany and Austria 1t may
be objected perhaps that it Is unfair
to select this particular period for pur-
poses of comparison, since both the
Baltimore fire Of 1904 and the San
Francisco fire of 1906 are included in
1t. And yet If these two fires, repre-
senting about $350,OO0,0OO, were de-
Quoted from the total fire loss of the
country for the five years-which is
estimated at $1,257, ,716,955- total
would be reduced by but little over a
fourth. And the American per capita
loss would remain about six and one
half times larger than the European.
What Is to blame for this great dis
parity? Are we so much more careless
than Europeans? Are European build
ing codes, fire departments and water
supplies from six and a half to ten
times better than those found in the
United States?
