oriQin Of Ereemasonry Unknown.

The society of Free Masons ante
dates all other societies by centuries
its origin is so ancient that the place
and time of its birth are unknown.
Its legend say that it was organized
at the building of the temple of Solo
mon. but this is not accepted with
much credence. By some writers its
origin has been ascribed to the
prui6s. by others to the Knights
Templar and to Pythagoras, and it
has not escaped the fad which in mod.
ern times has attributed so many
OF the uncertain productions to the
nimble brain Of Sir Francis Bacon.
Within recent years traces Of the
organization are said to have been
discovered in Palestine or the Egyp-
tan obelisks and in the pyramids
In fact, 1t has been asserted that in.
vestigators have become satisfied
that the society grew directly from
an organization engaged in the con-
WNuction nj the pyramids.

UNION PACIFIC MAY BUILD
 LINE TO GRAND CANYON

Advices received from Salt Lake in dicate that the Union Pacific is con- templating construction of railway line to the northern rim of the Grand Canyon of Arizona, by way of Kanab and St. George, Utah, passing through the virgin pine Kaibab forest in the Arizona strip"
 This section also is rich in copper mines and many agricultural valleys. It was visited lately by a party of railroad men from Salt Lake, accom- panying president Heber J. Grant and a number of other dignitaries of the Mormon church, all interested in the development of region that especial ly needs transportation if settlement is to be known.
 There are tentative plans for pro- viding, on the north rim of the canyon, tourist accommodations comparable with those now enjoyed at the Fl Tovar on the southern rim, though farther down stream, on the Powell plateau, where the canyon is at its deepest. The northern rim at that point is 1900 feet higher than the southern lip of the gorge.

STATE TO RECEIVE
 FUNDS BY OCTOBER 10

Funds will be available to cash state warrants by October 10, accord ing to information received by Ray mond Earhart, state treasurer, from the coast. A wire was received by MT. Earhart to the effect that the First National Bank of Los Angeles had approved the second tax anticipa- tion bond issue. The order for print ing the bonds has been placed and as soon as they are received from the printer will be signed by the governor, treasurer and auditor so that funds will be on hand in another two weeks, according to Mir.

The same condition will prevail on October 1, but before another payday the state will be able to cash the war rants of its officials and attaches.

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
A REAL QUESTIONABLE

Insrance Adjuster (to victim of fire insurance company): Why did you set fire to this house? You did mt? Preposterous! The fact that you had it insured shows reconciliation. If you didn't know there was to be a fire why did you stay home as usual ? This looks bad, awfully bad. You weren't at home, eh? An ha! You fired the house and then sneaked out, eh? We'll get conviction on that admission, sure.
 Let me look at your hands. Show me your tonsils. Do you keep COW? ? The COW is dry? Why don't you give her a drink? You mean she doesn't give milk now, eh? Did you notify the company when the COW was think ing of going dry so that we could have tackled on our special rider No. XQ12492 permitting her to do SO? You conspired with this COW to in crease the first hazard. Think of the terribly increased possibility of fire and loss of life, and not drop of milk on the place. This is criminal!
 How old are you? Sixty? You look older, but think you're younger. You wear whiskers. Did you obtain special permit from the company cov- ering this extra hazard? What do you intend to do with the money we don't intend to give you? Have any of your present wife's former hus- bands or their wives had any fires of which you know nothing? Why? If you answer in the negative, state when. Why did you not insure in some other company? You are guilty (almost) of obtaining money under false pretenses, arson, disturbing the peace and perjury.
 However, in the spirit of magnanim- ity which has made our company fa- nous, if you will pay your premiums promptly and regularly as in the past, we will solemnly covenant and agree to let this matter run along just as though there had been no fire.--Life.

FAMOUS WRITER IS
 DOUGLAS VISITOR

George Pattullo, well-known SaWr- day Evening Post writer, has reached Tucson in the course of an automobile tour of the United States. Pattullo is the author of Gasoline Gus" from which a scenario had been prepared for Fatty Arbuckle just before the film comedian got into trouble at San Francisco. The writer says that pulp lie sympathy on the coast is swinging to Arbuckle since the district attorney refused to accept the manslaughter finding of the grand jury and insisted on filing a murder charge. Pattullo takes the view that murder must be intentional and that Arbuckle certain ly had no intention of killing Miss Rappe.
