A total of 6433 persons entered the
Grand Canyon national park during
the month Of March, says ]. R. Eakin
superintendent This is an increase OF
1857 or 27 per cent over the same
month last year, and it is the great
est number ever to enter the park in
March.
Of the total 1859 came by rail ana
1874 in 528 automobiles. Cars were
registered every day of the month
Thirty-three states were represented
in the auto travel and also Hawaii and
Canada. California led the list with
238 cars and Arizona was second
with 81. Auto travel was 81 per cent
in excess of March last year. There
is every indication that the coming

TWO APPOINTED AIDS
TO INDUSTRIAL BOARD

J. C. Sanders Of Phoenix has been
named industrial agent and Harry
Tritle of Phoenix appointed civil eX-
aminer of the Arizona Industrial
commission, Chairman Cleve w. Van
Dyke of the commission has an
nounced.
Under Mr.. Sanders supervision
comes the enforcement of state labor
laws not coming under the jurisdiction
Of other enforcement agencies. Mr..
Tritle will have charge of the apph-
cation of the compensation law on all
industrials, state, county, city and
school districts and his work will
largely be in the field.
A surprising number of labor law
violations, according to Chairman Van
Dyke, are coming to the attention of
the commission, and, under the new
compensation law, demand rectifica-
ton. Failure to pay wages to en-
ployes, violation Of the state law, is
found to be not at all unusual
throughout the state.

STORM DOES DAMAGE AS
WELL AS GOOD AT PHOENIX

Six houses were practically leveled,
one person slightly injured and sew
eral thousand dollars crop damage
caused by a wind of tornado-like
propensities that struck Phoenix early
Thursday afternoon.
The fury Of the storm was centered
in a 20-foot strip that took a north
easterly course through the eastern
section of the city. The damage was
done by the grounding of a funnel
shaped cloud which lifted few min
utes after it struck.
A severe hail storm accompanied
the wind and rain. The weather bu-
reau announced that day that the
Salt River valley is in the midst of
the wettest period in its history since
the memorable "wet year" of 1905.
More rain has fallen there this year
to date than fell during all of 1925.

This column, with the kindly con-
nfvance of Bre'r Hunter in his
Around Here" column in the Ell Paso
Herald, brought two friends into COM
munication after they had lost track
with each other since several years
ago in Chattanooga, Tenn. We pulled
one on Captain G. E. Damewood Of
this city and Bre'r Hunter used it..
Presently the captain received a letter
from Walter Haggard of El Paso,
asking if he was the guy, and he re-
piled that he was and is.
We heard a good one few days
ago about two stalwart citizens, both
of whom are the never-say-die kind
who can pit their seventy-odd years
apiece against any pair 30 years
younger and make 'em quit.
The two, after walking around all
the forenoon, started off into the
woods on reconnaissance. They walk
ed steadily over all kinds of going
for five hours, returning apparently
fresh and untired. Next morning one
of them told a friend:
''That is a walking fool.
If he'd walked me ten feet farther
yesterday I'd a dropped"
The same friend that afternoon ran
across the other man, sitting sort of
bumped over on a log. How do you
feel?" he asked him.
"Say, I'm most Dead" he replied,
''That don't know when to
stop. He most walked me to death
yesterday"
Now, you two, we dare you to come
