BOOK
 ON THE HINTERLAND
Reqion North of Grand Canyon Sur Veyed by State Commission ana Found Astounding in Re-
 sources

One of the most interesting state publications issued in several years is bulletin entitled "The Arizona Strin, which is just off the press. If is the report of the reconnois- sance of the country north of the Grand Canyon. made last year by Prof. A. NJ. McOmie, C. c. Jacobs. and pr. O. C. Bartlett. and contains 2 complete account of a trip from Flagstaff across the Kaibab and ha- nab plateaus to Hurricane, Utah.
 From FIagstaff the party traVeled northeast to Tuba City, where they crossed the Little Colorado, and thence to Lees ferry, where the Col orado was crossed. From Lees fer " they made their way to Fredonla and from there over the kanab plat eau through Antelope valley over the Uinkaret plateau to Mt Trumbun to St George, Utah.
 A north and south highway, con- meeting Arizona with Salt Lake City and the Yellowstone National Park is proposed in the report Such l road. it states. could be built at com paratively small cost, and would be one of the great scenic routes of the continent. Tn part tue ItbOlt S'tS 9-
 From the time we left the San Francisco peaks until we arrived at St George, the trip was enlivened by endless scenic beauty. The weather was cool, and refreshing showers fell around us every day. A more won derful road could not be planned than the course over which we travelled, fitted for auto travel in a north and south highway. The calm roll ing desert. the rugged. awe-inspiring canyons. the wonderful forests, and with all the vastness of the coun- try, adds variety that makes the en- tire trip a pleasure. Such road could be built from Arizona points to Salt Lake City. and the Yellowstone Park, with comparatively slight cost.
 The agricultural possibilities here are very promising for combined stock raising and farming operations. There are at least million acres of excellent 6ry farming lands with many more acres of excellent adja- cent grazing lands. The irrigated area may be increased several times by the construction of storage dams; by the state taking some of the land, and by putting the rest under the non residence clause of the Smoot
Arizona republican., 1915-07-19

Act, the people may settle around the living water mentioned in com and build permanent homes The water conditions, however, will make 1t imperative for some such ar rangement as indicated, if the coun- try is fully developed. The future prospects for the Strip under these conditions are very bright and the resources are ample to support population of 2O,OO0 people, which is ample to form a thriving county.
 The construction of a good road from the Arizona line through the heart of the Strip to the head of Bright Angel Canyon. opposite Fl Tovar, would be a great step towards bringing this section before the pub lie. The canyon from the north side is quite as attractive as it is from the south side, and thousands of tourists would be induced to make this trip from the north. who are now compelled to forego it on account of its inaccessibility."

COST OF STOPPING A TRAIN

On d level track the cost of bring ing a freight train of 2OO0 tons to stop from twenty-five miles an hour and then regaining the same speed is sixty -one cents, with fuel at B ton. Coal accounts for nearly half of the expense, the loss of two and one half minutes of the train crew $ time for 10 cents, and wear and tear of brake etc. for 20 cents. This is an example of the application of a. formula worked out by F. w. Green of the Louisiana and Arkansas Rail way from an extended investigation into the cost of stopping and start ing for trains of varying weight, speed and other conditions.
