NEW COUNTY MAY
Be FORMED NORTH
OF GRAND CANYON

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 1.-THE sur
vey and subsequent development of
the vast hinterland north of the
Grand Canyon may result in the Gre
alton of a new county, equal in re-
sources to any in the state, according
to State Land Commissioner w. A.
Moeur, who has just returned from a
trip through northern Arizona. On
all sides the commissioner learned of
the great undeveloped riches of north
ern Mahoxe and Coconino counties.
and of the desire of the people that
the land be opened for settlement in
the near future.
There are between million and
a million and half acres of unsur-
veyed land north of the canyon" said
Mr.. Moeur yesterday, ''and a great
deal of this is suitable for dry farm
ing or for grazing land In the val
leys, I was told there are to be found
many very desirable locations for
small farms, where dry farming could
be successfully corried on, while on
the mesas range cattle find good
grazing. Once the land is surveyed
and can be taken up by the state or
by individuals, there will be a great
influx of people from Utah, and it is
altogether likely that new county
will be created
There is no doubt that some
crossing of the Colorado river will be
opened up and this great and but
little known country connected with
the rest of Arizona. Already there is
splendid highway leading from ST.
George. Utah, to Salt Lake City, via
Lund, on the railroad. and a road
through the country north of the can
yon would be assured Three auto
stage lines are now in operation over
the Utah road from Lund to st.
George, but a few miles north of the
Arizona line.''

TASTE OF WITNESS
IS GOOD EVIDENCE

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 11.-That a
witness familiar with the taste and
effects of intoxicating liquor can give
testimony as to whether drink con-
tains anything Intoxicating was the
ruling of Judge Cooper in the case
against Charles Cunningham, pro-
prietor of the Cabinet bar, and
charged with violating the prohibi-
tion amendment. Henry J. Hender-
son, who purchased soft drink at
Cunningham's establishment, testified
that it tasted as though there was
something in it, and his testimony
was allowed to stand. Henderson
said he had been drinking period
ically'' for about twenty years. Cum
ningham was convicted, and an
nounced that he would carry his case
to the supreme court. In the mean
time he has commenced to serve his
Jail sentence.

LAND FAST HORSES
FOR STATE FAIR MEET

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct 14-Negotia-
tions are now under way between
Secretary Shaughnessy of the State
Fair and Thomas w. Murphy, owner
of the two great champions of the
track this year-Directum I and Peter
Volo-looking toward obtaining these
famous horses for an exhibition at
the State Fair. Correspondence has
been in progress for some time on
this and at last it has been arranged
that these two famous harness kings
will be secured for the Arizona State
Fair. Directum 1 is the fastest horse
on the track, having made his mark
of mile in 1861 this summer,
while Peter Volo trotted mile in
200 flat. A race between these two
animals and against time will be an
event worth going miles to see. With
the Arizona State Fair track in the
customary shape it is not at all un-
likely that these two animals will
better their records. One thousand
dollars additional will be paid for
either horse that betters his own best
performance.
