 July 31, 19O9 DEAR EDITOR:
 In looking around from the top of this tall mountain, 1 can see a thriving village, the gate-w way to the Grand Canyon of Arizona. It is, I am told, one of the most thriv- ing and enterprising towns on the Santa Fe railroad. It's hotels and hotel service would do credit to a much larger place, and for stores there are many, filled with mer- chandise of every description where a person can buy anything from a needle to a haystack.
 On Monday morning of each week you will notice the long clothes lines filled with snowy linen, as white as the driven snow, and if you inquire of the good housewife why her lines are filled so early in the day, so beautiful and so white, she will say: "It is because I use the celebrated BEN HUR SOAP"
