HOTEL AT CANYON IS
 BOUGHT BY HEARST
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Dally)
 The ratifying of the sale of the Grand View hotel and the Last Chance millsite of the Grand Can yon Copper Company. occurred in this city Monday night in the law offices of Clark & Tascher, the transaction being legally closed by John H. Page. the president, Will liam Randolph Hearst succeeding to the ownership.
 The hotel occupies the ground of the millsite, and the tract Is situ- ated about thirteen miles to the east of Fl Tovar, on the rim of the canyon. Preceding the transfer of these holdings, the attorneys of Hearst had agreed upon the arti- cles of sale. and the transaction was approved by the full board of directors of the selling company Accordingly, none of MT Hearst's representatives was required to be present in person, the only official consideration necessary being the action taken.
 Coincident to this deal being closed, the purchase last week by Mir Hearst of the leo acre patented tract of ?. D. Berry. that adjoins the Grand View hotel realty, was the forerunner of the later trans action being crystalized. This deal has occasioned many rumors to be circulated in the north, and cOnsid- erable speculation is being indulged in aS to what disposition the pur- chaser is to make of his newly acquired interests. The closing of this deal is the only realty under private ownership in the Grand Canyon National park, except that included in the Fl Tovar strip. and the right of way oi the railroad running thereto. Grand View has long enjoyed very much favor as a point of scenic attraction along the rim, but was handicapped by being out of range of communication since the railroad was constructed. The topography of the country did not permit tourists visiting the place For many years previous to the es- tablishment of Fl Tovar, the route of travel was from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon, with Grand View as the objective point on the rim
 Developments of the future will be awaited with keen interest as to the plans of Mir. Hearst, in which speculation seems to be centered to the building of another railway from

 Ardent lovers during their youth
 iul days of nearly half q century
 ago, with the fire of affection burn
 ing as brightly after each had passed the thrce-score- -and-ten mile
 stone, the long courtship came to
 an end in this city at the Prescott
 hotel on Tuesday night when Mrs.
 Esteile Remark and James IT, Ryan
 were pronounced man and wife.
 The simplicity of the event. only
 made this union all the more pretty and interesting. It was a genuine
 love match and in appreciation of the occasion. Judge Charles H. Me Lane, who officiated. made the union a particularly pleasing one by de- parting from the orthodox course by tying the happy couple together in very happy mood. Ii the young CT generation of this day could be prevailed upon "to face the music" with the gleam of satisfaction that graced this event, "wedlock would not be such ticklish thing as has often been said of it.
 "I travelled over 1000 miles from Jackson county. Missouri, to be at the right hand side of my dear Jim,' said the estimable bride. Don't you think it is about time that the gap of the many years that have flown should be sealed up? l know we are nearing the divide, and when we get to going down the other side into The Un- known, I want to be with him to the last"
 The couple were united by the ring ceremony just as the program called for nearly fifty years ago. The bride was attended by Flor erce l. Nichols and the groom's best man was N. J. Maloney. Yes tcrday morning they left for May CT, where they will begin the new life with happiness and prosperity :i their future blessing, the wish of lLany friends.

 One of inc interesting mine de-

 Ten former officials and directors of the American Union Trust Com pany. that failed in Kansas City December 30. 1911, were drawn into the government net of alleged postal frauds this morning.
 The federal grand jury returned indictments against these ten men, charging them with violation of the postal laws in connection with the failure of the bank. There are two indictments. One charges the use of the mails to defraud. The other charge is making fraudulent and false representations through the mails with an intent to deceive. The bond of each defendant was fixed at $5.OO0.
 The American Union Trust Com pany never was regarded among Kansas City bankers as a real bank. It was never admitted to member ship in the Kansas City clearing house.
 Government agents have been working on the case more than a . year.

Where Living Is Cheap.
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
Searching for a place in which they
might live with comfort and some degree
of luxury on their income Of about S2,oD
a year, a woman and her niece have at
last found their low-price Utopia in Al
west. Ireland, England, France. Germany
and Spain were all tried in succession,
but nowhere could the women get relief
from what seemed exorbtant prices I'M
til they struck the Mediterranean coast
of Africa.
Their experience is certainly eXcep-
tional, for there must be innLmerable
places In the United States and I'm Eu-
rope where two women could get all the
comforts and many of the luXuries OIL
even less than 5000 a year. Surely that
amount would procure all the necessaries
of life.
OF course. ii all depends upon what
one calls ''necessares." What is neces-
sary for some would be quite superfiuoLs
for others. Millions of American and Fu-
ropean families live happily on much less
than $1,000 a year, because they know
CLOTH and because they can discriminate
between real and artificial needs.
An assured income as great as those
two women enjoy-at least, possess
would enable most of to live even In
New England life of sybaritic ease.
But, of course contentment Is a neces-
sary adjunct of any income. whatever its
size.

AVERT HELLO" STRIKE
Boston's 2,200 Telephone
Operators Accept Compro-
mise Terms Offered.

BOSTON. April 1O.-A strike of the
200 telephone operators in the fifty
four exchanges Of greater Boston. which
has been threatened for the past few
days, was averted by a compromise
agreement reached early today.
Instead of the weekly wage increases,
averaging 81 EACH which the union de-
manded, the agreement provides for the
establishment by the company Of a plan
of anniversary payments. These pay
ments are to be $50 at the end OF the
second year, $50 annually from the end OF
the third to the end of the ninth year,
and 500 at the end of each succeeding
year.
The so-called 'split trick" abolition OF
which was demanded, will not be compul-
sorry upon any operator after eighteen
months service. The lunch period will
be heightened and the girls. will have
the maximum number of holidays and
afternoons off consistent with service re-
auirements." These concessions are eff

The agreement also provides for the
creation of an adjustment committee to
consider all grievances.
I'VE have Won," the operators declared
at the conclusion of the conferences, and
they were not contradicted by company
officials, who said merely: 1.-THE adjust
ment seems mutually satisfactory.

DEMOCRATS BEGIN WAR
ON THE CIVIL SERVICE
Information Sought as to Number
of Positions Covered Into
Protected Glass.

The first shot in the war which demo-
Gratis in the Senate purpose to wage upon
the large number of positions in the civil
service which have been covered into
that service by executive order of re-

ator Overman of North Carolina has in
troduced a resolution calling upon the
civil service commission to inform the
Senate in regard TO the civil service
laws. orders and rules. by which the
service was established and extended
the number of civil service employees in
the various departments who have been
covered" into the service by executive
order since January l. 1900 and also the
number OF persons now employed under
the civil service in the various depart
ments and bureaus
Senator Overman asked immediate con-
sideration of the resolution, but Senator
Jones asked that it might go over in or
der that the resolution be printed and
placed before each senator
Senator Bristow of Kansas suggested
an amendment. which was accepted by
Senator Overman. by which the commits
sion is directed to inform the Senate
what positions in the civil service have
been covered into the service by execu-
tive order from the establishment of the
civil service. instead of only from 1890.
While no comment was made, IL is under
stood that this will show the number of
positions placed under the civil service
by executive order of the democratic
Presidents as we'll as by the recent re-
publican Presidents
Senator Swanson of Virginia declared
that IL was of much importance to have
brought out just how many persons are
now employed In the civil service who
obtained positions without passing an ex-
animation To efficiency. He was as
eured by Senator Overman that this mat
ser was covered in the resolution
