cEpARS OF LEBANON
Sacred Grove Still in Evidence; But
Disappearing.

Sacred Grove Still in Evidence; But
Disappearing.
Wall, o fir tree,
For the cedar is fallen,
Because it's glorious ones are de-
stroyed;
Wall, o ye oaks of Bashan,
For the strong forest is come
down.
Thus Zechariah lamented, and
most of the famed cedars of Lebanon
have disappeared from the slopes OF
SYRIA. Yet still some of the glori-
Gus ones of the forest rise proudly.
In Syria, the Land Of Lebanon
Lewis CASTOR Leary tells OF a visit
to the famous grove. The book is
published by Mcbride, Mast & co.
His description follows:
We had watered our horses, eat
en- the last olive and the last scrap
of dusty bread that remained In the
bottom of our saddlebags, and were
shiyering and impatient and irritable;
for a sea of beautiful but chilling
clouds was rolling around us, and as
yet there was no sound OF the tar-
off tinkle that would herald the ap-
proach of the belated mule train
which bore our tents and food.
Then, suddenly, just as the sun was
setting, a friendly breeze swept the
clouds down into the valleys; and In
a moment fatigue, vexation and hum
ger were forgotten, as we contem-
Mated one Of the most beautiful pan
Dramas in all Lebanon. Before US the
mountain sloped quickly to a precl-
pice whose foot lay unseen, thous-
ands of feet below, while just across
the gorge, so steep and lofty and ap-
parently so near as almost to be op-
pressiye, toward Jebel el-Arz-the
Cedar Mountain. The whole range was
bathed in a wonderful golden hue
more brilliant, yet more ETHEREAL than
the alpenglow Of Switzerland. Soon
the gold faded into blue, and that to
a Tyrian purple, color so royal that
those who have not seen cannot De-
lieye, so deep and strange that, to
those who have seen, it seems almost
unearthly. One must gaze and gaze
in a vain attempt to fanthom Its un-
searchable depths, until the purple
darkens into black and the watcher
stands silent, as if the setting sun
had for a moment swung open the
door that leads into the eternal.
Where are the cedars?" 1 asked a
member of our party, who had vis-
tied them before.
"Over there, directly in front OF
you!"
But the mountain seems to be one
bare, empty mass Of rock!"
Look closer-yonder-w l am
pointing!"
Yes, there they are, apparently
hung against the face Of the rock In
such a precarious situation that.
loosened cone would drop clear OF the
little edge and fall all the way to the
bottom of the valley. You see just a
tiny patch of dark green against the
mountain side-as big as the palm OF
your hand-no, as large as a finger
nail-like a speck on the lens OF
field glass. Such is the first view of
the group of ancient trees which are
still known as the "Cedars of the
Lord"

W. H. BURBAGE MADE
 TREASURER OF BIGEXPO

Joint initiative petitions ap- propriating. $4O,OO for the Pan ama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco and S35,OO for the Panama California exposition at San Diego are to be circulated throughout the state.
 The important decision was reached Tuesday afternoon at a joint session of the two Arizona commissions named by Gov. Hunt for the big expositions next year.
 Following the joint session the two commissions retired to se- parate quarters and elected off cers. E. B. O'Neill is chairman of the San Francisco commission; Nose Drachman of Tucson, se- cretary. and Rudolph Kuchler of Glendale, treasurer and execu- tive member. c. H. Akers is chairman of the San Diego com mission; J. R. Keer of Yuma. secretary, and W. H. Burbage of Winslow, treasurer.
 The other members of the two commissions are: San Francisco A. A. Johns Prescott, and E. s. Thompson of Kingman. San Diego-Phil c. Merrill of Pima, and Harry Calisher of Douglas.
 It was brought out at the meeting that the supervisors and assessors of every county Tn the state. with one exception, last summer pledged themselves to support a joint initiative petition appropriating $50, half for the San Francisco building and half for San Diego. If. it was sald, the assessors and supervi- sors would agree to $I50. .O0O, there is no reason why they wouldn't agree to just half the amount.
 The commissioners attending yesterdays meeting were: San Francisco-E. 5. O'Neil, Nose of Tucson. and Ru- dolph Kuchler. San Diego H. Burbage of Winslow, and c. E. Akers. Gazette.

TO THE VOTERS NAVAJO COUNTY:

In view of the fact that 1 have long been an incumbent of the office of the Clerk of our District and Superior Court, twice under appointment to the former and once by election to the latter, and realizing that the time is drawing near when the selection of candidates for the various pubic offices in the County will be made, I hereby respectfully announce that 1 will not be a candidate for reelection in the next campaign.
 It is with some regret that 1 now consider it my duty to stand aside and relinquish my chances for continuance in the office in which my association in that capacity with the public has been most pleasant, and having at all times met with that uniform courtesy that distinguishes the Arizona Bench Bar.
 Thanking all my friends for their support so generously ac- corded me in the past,
 beg to remain.
 Yours sincerely,
 WILL B. WOODS.

AEROPLANE FLIGHTS.
On account of the extremely ad-
verse weather condition on Friday,
the aviator, Mr.. w. S. Luckey, could
not make his first scheduled fight
that day, but on Saturday he took
advantage of lull between showesr
and rising from the ball park to a
considerable height. made two
graceful circuits around the town.
Arrived tthe starting place, he
flew lower and cutting of the mo-
tor OF his machine. descended easl-
ly, skimming the surface of the
ground for some distance.
Again on Monday Mr.. Luckey
made another flight, even more ex-
tensive than the first. He made two
flights across the town and twice he
circled far above and beyond the
mill village. Large crowds cheered
the daring feats, which added a
novel feature to the fair, for many
had never seen an aviation flight.
Mr.. Luckeys biplant was more close
