The Grand Canyon which was dis
covered in 1910, has been termed by
many scientists the scenic wonder of
the world and those who decline to
yield to it the palm for scenic pre-
miership admits that it ranks high
among the bewildering handicrafts OF
nature. 1t must be seen to be appre-
ciated No pen can adequately paint
the word picture necessary to con-
vey to the reader an idea of it's grand
uer and no camera can show more
than a fractional part of its massive
rocks and gorges and gorgeous col
Ors. Extending for more than 25O
miles in length this mighty chasm is
from $500 to $500 feet deep and 12
miles at the rim where the Cam

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

The high cost of living is no myth.
An investigation by the bureau of la
Dor of the prices of 257 commodities
during 1910, shows that wholesale
prices then were 4 per cent higher
than in 1909, and 1.6 per cent above
the average of 1907, which was the
year of highest prices since 1890. An
interesting item in the report shows
that the wholesale prices of farm
products were rs per cent higher in
1910 than 1909.
Wholesale prices in 1910 were 1871
per cent highert han in 1900, 46.7 per
cent higher than 1897 (Which was the
year of lowest prices between 1890
and 191O; 1876 per cent higher than
1890 and 31.S per cent higher than
the average high prices between 1890
and 1899 The highest prices in this
decade were reached in October, 1907
when a general decline began which
continued until August, 1908. A rise
then set in and there were monthly
increases without break up to
March 1910, when wholesale prices
reached the highest point in twenty
years They were then Oil per cent
higher than the average of 1900; 1872
per cent higher than the yearly aver
age of 1897 and 1873 per cent higher
than the average price ten years be-
tween 1890 and 1899
Then followed a slight decline, and
from June to December, 1910, prices
remained nearly level and at the close
of 1910 they were still 80 per cent
higher than the ten-year average be-
tween 1890 and 1900, and 45.4 per
cent higher than the record set by
the high price year, 1907
Of the 257 commodities considered
in the investigation, 14S showed an
average increase, twenty-six showed
no change and eighty-three showed
decreases.
Prices of lumber and building ma
terials increased 1917 per cent; farm
products, 7.5; drugs, Al; foodstuffs,
30; clothing, 81, and the miscella-
neous group of commodities, 81 per
cent House furnishings decreased
O1 per cent and fuel and light per
cent.
Some extraordinary variations were
recorded in 1910. Potatoes increased
300 per cent eggs, 80 per cent; cof-
fee, 60 per cent; mess beef 35 per
cent
