CANYON OF GREAT
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
President Sets Aside a Utah
Wonder as a National
Monument.

Mukuntuweap canyon, in south
western Utah, has been set aside as a
national monument by President Will
liam II. Taft and notice of this action
was received at the local United States
land office yesterday.
This canyon is in the vicinity of
Orderville. far from any railroad, and
it is regarded as one of the most in
teresting samples of erosion in exist
ence. It's scenic beauties are uneX-
Celled, but its scientific value is the
chief consideration for withdrawing
the canyon from entry of any kind.
The official statement by the Presi-
dent creating the national monument
SAYS: Whereas the Munkuntuweap
canyon through which flows the north
fork of the Rio Virgin or Zion river,
in southwestern Utah. is an eXtraOr-
binary example of canyon erosion and
is of the greatest scientific interest.
and it appears that the public interest
would be promoted by reserving 1t as
national monument, with such other
land as may be necessary for its pro-
lection"

White Mans Experience.

When the bean is used by the Indians,
they become wholly unconscious. il is
said, but a white man. recently expert
menting with the bean" had a differ
ent experience. Although ne did not
take the customary amount at no time
did he lose consciousness and throughout
was cOgnizant of his surroundings. He
said that all ordinary cOlOrs were great
" heightened i'm intensity and beauty
and that when he closed his eyes pro-
Cession of Chinese pagodas with beauti-
cal designs and peacOcks of brilliant
plumage seemed to float in endless pro-
cession before him.
There have been those who have ap-
pealed that its use be not interdicted be
cause of its removing the appetite for
alcoholic liquors resulting often in tur-
bulant, riOtous dTuukaTd becoming a quiet
and inOffenSiVe person, but on the other
hand its use has proven so injurious to
mind and bodily strength that the Indian
office has decided that the best thing
for the Indian would be to remove the
temptation altogether and this is now
being done as rapidly as possible. In the
future the Indians will be denied the use
of peyote even in their religious cere-
monies.
Only recently "A special officer of the
Indian service visited Laredo. Tex. the
source from which the supply of peyotes
has been furnished to the Indians of the
country, and bought up the entire avail
able supply which he later destroyed at
the same time eXacting a promise from
the dealer to no longer continue in the
traffic

stranqe Ceremonies.

To the tune Of weird songs and the con-
tinuous beating of the tom tom was add
ed the narcotic influence of the bean
as all eyes remained intently fixed upon
the altar. At times incense was thrown
upon the altar fire. A cigarette was
passed to represent the pipe of peace. At
midnight a cup, like that used in com
munion services was passed with a large
pail. i'm which peyotes had been stepped,
and the water sprinkled over the heads
of the participants. who also took
draughts of the concoction.
The ceremony was continued until morn
ing. Some of the Indians after the cere-
mony described the effects of the use of
peyote as producing the sight of gold
clouds floating around great suns at mid
night.
While this is said to be the usual ex-
perieHce of users of the peyote, a case
where contrary effect was produced has
been brought to the attention of the In
dian office. An Indian on the Sac and
Fox reservation in Iowa, while under
its influence. had a vision in which he
went to the place of torment where
everything is hot saying that he stepped
on the floor and that he burned his feet,
he put his hand on the wall. he was
burned there; he sat down on d chair
and was burned again

County Taxes.

The county board of equalization
 met at the courthouse last Monday
 and remained in session until Wednes-
 day taking up the matters of raises in
 personal taxes and the fixing of levy for the year 1909. When the board adjourned the total amount of raises on property within the county reached l2o, ,OOOS, the greatest amount ever raised by county board of equaliza- tion. The original roll showed an as- sessment of l,674, IA l4$, and with the raise gave an assessment of 1,802,- l44OO$, approximately. Last year the oil showed an assessment of l.67S,- OOO.OOS, approximately. Mohave coun- ty is assessed on cattle about 15 per cent of the number actually owned, other property from b to p per cent, which would easily make the total values of property in the county at about 5000, ,00O$, if proper and just assessment was levied against it. It is more than probable that the roll for 1910 will be above $500, ,OOO$, as the people and the board of equalization are beginning to realize that a low assessment of property will eventually result in great injury to the county and retard investments.
 The following is the rate of tax levy for the year:
