That Delegate Ralph Cameron IS mak' ing himself heard at the national cap ital is evidenced by the following his torical sketch of Arizona $ representa- tive in congress, which was printed. in one of the leading dailies of the Capital City after the close of the late special tariff session Mir. Cameron was to have visited Globe this week, but his trip over the territory has been in' definitely postponed by the serious ill- ness of his wife.
 Because young westerner put up ffteeu-year fight against the forces of nature in opening up the Grand Can yoa of Arizona to the tourists of the world, and because he later whipped a great railway company to q frazzie to maintain his rights there, he has been elected to congress This is the story of Ralph Cameron delegate from Arl- zona, and the remarkable trail that leds from the rim of the greatest of the world 's wonders to the water $ edge. seven miles below, is the monu- ment to his Accomplishment.
 Today, when tourists crossing the continent by the great santa Fe route reach Williams, Ariz., the popular thing is to stop off, take a spur line to the canyon. there change to the back of a mule, and get the most comprehensive view of the natural scenery which peo- ple travel half around the world to see. Were it not for Ralph Cameron it would take days to make the trip by wagon, and there is question as to whether any but the hardest would ever be able to go down into the great abyss, for it is by means of his trail that this is reached,
 The manner in which the chiseling of trail around the front of 5000 foot cliff or blasting it through over hanging points enters into western pol itics is interesting, and, in the ease of Cameron. instructive. It all began some twenty-two years ago, when the present delegate must have been in his salad days. for he still appears as if he had just come into the pride of manhood There were no salad days for boys in Arizona in the eighties, perhaps, for certain it is that in 1887 Cameron, with party of kindred spir- it's. had found his way over or around the great preeipices that go to make up the twenty-mile gash, which the Colorado river has cut into the other

to his holdings, he had established headquarters, and was becoming a man of affairs in that mountain hamlet. But all this time work was progressing on the trail, which was being gradually made better.
 When the trail was completed and Ralph Cameron had become man of affairs in his community. he aroused more or less local pride and business ambition in the village of Williams, and bonus of $20,000 was subscribed toward the building of railroad out to the rim of the canyon. Eventually, some one was found who would under take the task asd the wdfk was be gun. The Santa Fe furnished for this construction second hand rails that had been taken off the main line, and took a mortgage on the new road as se- curty for the purchase price. The building became embarrassed and the Santa Fe took over the line.
 When the great trunk line found if had line to the very rim of the Grand Canyon, it's directors were overJoyed, and began to look about for methods of improving their property. Their first discovery was that they were hauling tourists by the hundred to the canyon rim and that there all these were pay ing a fee to private individual, Ralph Cameron, for the real journey into the depths of the great chasm. This trail as tourist traffic proposition seemed to be worth as much as their railroad, and they thought it would be better if they owned both. They first attempt ed to have the franchise of the builder of the trail revoked, but Cameron got himself elected county supervisor and extended his own franchise. They took him Into the courts, and he succeeded in winning enough of the suits 10 re tain possession of the trail for five years. They carried the matter to the department of the interior and later to the forest service in attempts to get Cameron s privilege revoked. But the plueky builder of the trail was always on hand with an able defense, and usually won out
