SEES OUR WONDERS WITH
 APPRECIATIVE EYES

There are some mighty nice things
 said about this providence-bles country in recent issue of the June tion (Texas) Eagle, the writer being Miss Lola McCollum, of that place, who is here visiting MT. and Mrs. K. T. Brown, the latter being her aunt. In little more than front-page col umn, Miss McCollum describes Flag staff, its climate and scenic advant- ages, Sunset mountain, our lakes, the petrified forest-all of which is splen- did advertising for us--and then has this to say of Grand Canyon:
 "Only one trip have we made by rail thus far, that to the Grand Canyon. My heart beat with wild imagination and expectation as our train made the gradual ascent from Williams to the Grand Canyon station. With eager ness we climbed the rugged steps as cending into the south wall of the great plateau and leading to the Fl Tovar hotel, which is only few yards from the rim of the Worlds Wonder, and where with indescribable adora- ton l gazed.
 "The average width of the Canyon is thirteen miles. It's sides are a sue cession of rocky slopes and sinuous cliffs some of which are huge steps with a sheer descent from three to five hundred feet. Its depth is more than a mile, and from the rim the Colorad river looks to be only small stream cutting it's way through the granite gorge, but it is in reality about three hundred feet wide, thirty feet deep and has a velocity of about two miles an hour.
 Some years ago l read a story published in The Coconino Sun by MT. Breen, regarding a thunder storm that lost itself in one of the side can yons. Since our visit here and the op- portunity of viewing this wonderful gorge, l realize that it is very possi ble for dozens of thunder storms to lose themselves in this worlds won derful, matchless chasr.
 "I was denied the trip down Bright Angel Trail, but all other points of we visited. I enjoyed most the Hermit or RiY drive, which gives a wonderful view of the formation and coloring of the Canyon. The Hopi House with its numberless and inter esting souvenirs, also blankets being woven by the Indians and their danc- ing every evening at eight was de- cidedly new and amusing to me-"

IT IS TO LAUGH

It is to laugh! The printer goes into the cigar store, lays down 15c for 5c cigar and smiles; he goes to the boot shop and gives up fifteen simoleons for pair of fve-buck kicks and rejoices with the storeman over his prosperity; to the druggist he hands dollar for a bottle of phy- sic that he formerly bought for 35 cents and makes good by adding 50 cents to the outlay as payment for 25 cents worth of chocolates to make the physic necessity; he pays the butcher two prices and registers appreciation; he gives the banker 8 per cent for 4 per cent money times one must expect unnatural charges; he pays the garageman, the picture show man, the drayman, and the railroad their increased rates with out kick, but when any of these in- telligent and progressive business men desire a handful of letterheads they are shocked at the continual upward trend in the prices of printing. We might offer these gentlemen a nuhl- Der of valid reasons for higher print ing costs in addition to the ones that they already know to be legitimate, but do not think it necessary to go in to our business details to them any more than we expect them to do this for us. However, we will say to them that the day when the country printer owed everyone in the community and was dependent upon their charity for his support-the day when he walked in fear of his banker and approached his grocer in confusion-is with all offices of any consequence thing of the past. To be successful newspa- per man requires nearly as much tal- ent as it takes to successfully manage soda fountain and should be worthy of as much remuneration as is ex- pected by the proprietor of pool pal ace. In addition to this successful newspaper man must have sufficient literary ability to correct the copy of men who wish commercial printing so as to make it intelligent in its con struction. He must work more hours than any other man in business in the village and he must pay his employees higher wages than any other com mercial enterprise in the place and these are but few of the reasons why it costs more to have printing done in these days of advanced costs of every thing than it did when shoes were sell ing at s3.50, wheat for 60 cents and at 45 cents per~pound. The fact that we dare write and pub- fish these truths is proof positive that in some offices at least fear and trem- bling have been superseded by that knowledge of actual value which makes for commercial and intellectual independence.

Rainfall over the state during the week ending August 3l was generally light, according to the reports receiv- ed by the weather bureau. At Will Hams .S6 inch fell and at Prescott .45 inch, but other sections recorded less than quarter of an inch, and Pinto no rain at all. The lack of moisture is being generally felt, except in the north central portion of the state, and the range is becoming dry. In the southeast some areas continue good, but a greater part is dry. At Pinto no rain has fallen for more than two weeks and in this section and about Pinedale the grass is drying up and and the water is becoming scarce. In Yavapai and western Coconino coun- ties showers have kept the range in better shap than would have been ex- pected during a dry summer Pinto reports the fall roundup over. An excellent prospect for winter feed is noted in the neighborhood of Pinedale. Stock continues good in all sections.
 Crop Progress in Arizona.
 Temperatures were below normal throughout the state during the week. In the cotton growing sections the cooler weather checked plant growth, but since all the bolls which could be expected to mature had set the check ing is considered rather an advantage in turning strength into the crop. Vol unteer cotton has been maturing fast and considerable proportion of this has been picked. Some picking is be- ing done in planted fields but this work will not get into full swing for two or three weeks yet. In the north central part of the state the lowest August temperatures on record oc- cured on the 2Sth reaching B degrees at Flagstaff and 32 degrees at Will liams.

"NEVVY" CURED HIS CAR
 WITH PINKHAM'S COMPOUND

"Nevvy' Smith, manager of the Volz Trading Co. post at Canyon Di- ablo, was in Flagstaff recently, col 1 lecting parts for his car, originally a Ford, but transformed into an alto gether different being by hundred accidents and surgical operations and now named Elizabeth in defetence to this change of life.
 When Nevvy got her she had no tires, magneto, clutch or lights. He put few of the missing things into her, but misplaced some of them, put ting the magneto where the clutch ought to be and making a few other little changes like that. He left her steering wheel and chassis bent as when he got her, r,because these deform- ities give her a spirited, gallopine gait so that one riding in her experi- ences all the joys of straddling pitching bronc. When he got her all fixed up, she refused to start, so he poured Che swears it's true) a bottle of Lydia Pinkham into her radiator, and she was all right. The female remedy restored her health, but some- times her disposition is little off and she refuses to start. Then he walks around behind her and sticks a pin into her, and she starts.
 But Elizabeth's greatest peculiarity is her refusal to stop for anyone but Nevvy. Father Vabre recently made the circuit from the post to the tanks eight times, each time he passed Nv wy asking the latter how to stop Eliz- abeth. Nevvy couldn't explain defn- itely enough with Father Vabre on the wing that way, so finally lassoed her.
 When you back Elizabeth you put her in low. When you want to stop her, you start in four telegraph poles ahead of the place you expect to alight at. At the first pole you turn off the gas, the next pole the spark, at the third pole you put both feet on her shimmy button and kick, hard. She slows down to a walk, and then you jump out quick and tie her to the last pole.
 In addition to running the post at Canyon Diablo, Nevvy sorts the mail, runs the phone exchange and repre- sents the republican party, in his spare time exercising Elizabeth or playing Hochsder. Kaiser or Yacht am Rhein on a photograph which, with lot of other seditious records, he recently got off Deutscher. And he's keep ing happy and getting. fatter all the time, except for temporary lameness caused by spider bite on his foot.

PIONEER RELATES HISTORY
 OF EARLY DAY HOLD-UPS

night" He laughed and said, Moth
 ing in the box last night" This I
 knew, of course., Walking around l dropped into the blacksmith shop, chatted with the two men awhile; my object was to ascertain which of the two mentally dominated;an easy thing
 to do by any close observer. Saunter- ing over to the postofiice the post
 master, like everybody at Gillett, talk ed of nothing else but the robberies and failure of the special officers. As all others, he too had wild ideas of the matter. Deciding to put in another night, as matter of confirmation" and to pass away the time, l went down into the mesquite out of sight, smoked my pipe and thought over the situation. Late in the afternoon gathered a few rocks, not particular as to kind or quality, and returned to the saloon. Showing my find" to the agent l remarked: "What do you think of that, good gold rock, ain't it?" He looked at my samples" and smilingly said: Nothing to it; if that is all you know about minerals better try something else" Several miners were in the room and one came over, glanced at the rocks, smiled and returned to where other miners were sitting. What" says I, do you mean to say there's nothing in that rock ?" and l made move in the direction of the miners, but one of them shook his head in the negative. The above was merely play of mine, but it afforded much amusement to all the miners that night, and they had many gulf avs at the expense of that chump over in the corner; he don't know enough to go inside when it rains" The same scene was enacted that night, and my conclusions were con firmed. The following day I went to Tip Top. had learned the last pay day at the mine followed the robbery of the night before; also learned that the big blacksmith was a fend for '"bucking the tiger" therefore, my trip to the mine was to get a clue to the stolen money. Meeting with miner who ran a faro game during paydays, I learned by some round about questioning that the two black smiths had game there during pay day; that they had "about 5000 in gold twenties and thirty-five or forty dollars in paper in their bank roll, all of which they lost during the day" Desiring to secure his name and ad- dress, as he had described the stolen money and what became of it, 1 pre- tended to wish to correspond with him prior to the next payday, and so ob- tained my wish. l returned to Phoe- nix. Thacker was surprised at my early return, and supposed l had giv- en up the job as unsolvable, but when l gave him my notes with the two at the bottom, he slapped his leg, saying: Straight as a string, how did you do it so soon? 2" My re- ply was to the effect, "Mv first idea was to solve the reason why the hold ups were at one place, and why the stage was held up only when some thing was in the box" this was ac- within five minutes after l arrived at Gillett. I told Thacker one was mentally the weaker, and if placed in separate cells, with judicious the weaker man would turn states evidence" and this was so. The leader drew 25 years and the other one nine years.

 They were breakfasting at the local eating house and had decided that they would order chicken.
 When the waitress, a calcimined and peroxided miss, came up, the minister inquired, "How is the chicken this morning?"
 "All right, kiddow she retorted. "How are you ?"

A current report of the government forest service says that the larger newspaper publishers of the country have been able to keep down the ad- vance in cost of their newsprint to about 200 per cent because of their ability to contract in large volume. But the market price, according to the bulletin, has advanced 800 per cent since 1915. It is at this price that the small publisher is compelled to buy his paper stock.
