HAPPY NEW YEAR"

The year 1911 has passed into historv--it is only memory, with it's joys and it's sorrows alike, passed beyond recall. Let us face the new year with renewed hopes, renewed energy, and determination to profit by the experience of error, and also to make the future years more profitable in spiritual growth and uplift, with aims of intellectual and material advancement. Jordon is a hard road to travel, but there are many pitfalls which can be avoided, many sorrows obviated, and many days of sunshine and smiles if we but make the effort. But let us resolve to meet bravely whatever is in store for us, and put forth the best that is in us.

TELLS OF BEAUTIES OF
 THE GRAND CANYON


 West of Lees ferry on the Col orado river, north of the Grand Canyon, is the most wonderful and interesting country in the nation, was the statement made few days ago by Al. Doyle, who as guide ac companied Miss Sharlot' Hall, ter ritorial historian, on the research trip of data of early days, says the Prescott Journal Miner. In addi- tion the land is little known, and nestled as it is in a region which very few inhabitants are to be seen and shielded by the rugged preci- pices of the great gorge on the south and the wilderness on the north to the Utah line From the time Miss Hall and MT. Doyle started to their journey ended, fifty days were consumed to make the trip from the east to the west. In that time only sixty human beings were met. and the ma ajority of that number were living at Fredonia, farming settlement, hundreds of miles away from any other community. Oc- casionally afterward, few people were seen engaged in farming, stock raising, or prospecting for minerals Not until the Nevada line was reached was there any indication of emerging from the wi i!derness. when the camp of the Grand Gulch min. ing company was entered.
 MT Doyle states that the forests of that region are rich in tim Der.
 A railroad survey is being made now to tap that belt.
 Vast deposits of low grade cop per are found, but remain unpro ductive from lack of transportation facilities.
 Water is very scarce, except in the timber belt but on the other hand there is every indication that artesian water can be developed at many places. Climatic conditions are favorable for fruit growing. while the soil is rich for a multi tude of purposes.
 Some day, MT. Doyle states, Ari- zona will have new country that it will be proud of. From the east ern to tbe western boundary, they travelled over 300 miles, while from the north to the south, where the Grand Canyon zig-zags in it's wend ing of hundreds of miles, the dis tances vary from a few to over one hundred miles. Some idea of the isolation of that country may be learned when it is stated that it took just sixteen days for a letter to reach Fredonia from Flagstaff.

of the American people.
And friends | wish now to say how
deeply sensitive | am to the way in
which the nomination has come to me
and to tell those who proposed and
seconded my nomination that | appre-
ciate to the full significance of having
such men and such woman put me In
nomination; and l wish to thank the
convention for having given me the
running mate it has given.
Il have peculiar feeling toward
Governor Johnson. Nearly two years
ago, after the elections OF 1910, when
what l had striven to accomplish in
New York had come to nothing and
when my friends, the enemy-possibly
prematurely-rejo over what had
befallen me, Governor Johnson, in the
flush of his own triumph. having just
won out, wrote me letter which
shall hand on to my children and chill
dren's children because of what the
letter contained and because of the
man who wrote it; letter of trust
and belief; letter of ardent cham
pionship from the soldier who was at
the moment victorious toward his com,
rade who at the moment had been
struck down.
In Governor Johnson we have
man whose every word is made good
by the deeds that he has done. The
man who, as the head of a great
state, has practically applied in that
state for the benefit of the people of
that state the principles which we in
tend to apply through the union as a
whole. We have nominated the only
type of man who ever ought to be
nominated for the vice presidency;
we have nominated a man fit at the
moment to be president of the United
States.
Friends, l have come here merely
to thank you from the bottom of my
heart for the honor you have conferred
upon me and to say that I appreciate
it exactly as | know you mean it,
For the greatest chance, the greatest
gift that can be given to any man is
the opportunity, if he has stuff in
him; to do something that counts in
the interest of the common good"

Hymn of the Republic" delegates to

new Progressive party proclaimed
Theodore Roosevelt of New York as
their candidate for president, and Gov
ernor Hiram w. Johnson of California
as their choice for vice president.
Marking a new departure in the pro-

two candidates Immediately were for

in the midst of deafening cheers ap-
peared before the delegates to voice
their acceptance and to pledge their
best efforts to the coming campaign.
For several hours during the after.
noon and early evening, the throng In
the Coliseum had listened to flow Of
oratory and seconding speechs, in
which the dominant note expressed
was the belief that victory would come
to the new party in the November cleo
