Reply to Housewife Who Wanted
Only Fresh Goods.
"Have you any country butter?" the
young housewife asked.
"No'ra," the grocer's clerk respond
ed, "but we have some near-butter."
'Well, have you any fresh leaf
lard?"
'Sorry, ma'am; but I can give you
some of our finest near-lard and you
can't tell the difference.
'Well, of all the stores! Could I
get a glass of honey for the chil

Er I'm afraid not, ma'am; but we
have some excellent near-honey."
The housewife sighed.
"Dear me!" she said reproachfully.
Tou should be ashame' to sell so
many adulterated foods! Where do
you expect to go when you die, young
man?"
Near-heaven, ma'em," calmly re
ponded the clerk, as he chased a

Please don't tear their out of her
ears." begged the husband; "I'll de

Subsequently the burglar learned
that he had robbed the dwelling of
Professor Presto, the magician, and
that the professor had cleverly sub
stituted a pair of glass imitations for
the diamond earboba."

HERB la a gigantic plan pro
posed to ronvert the Orand
canyon of Arizona Into a huge
lake behind a dam 700 feet
high. Over this dam will flow
a constant stream of water at the rate
of 3ii,000 or more cubic feet a second,
sufficient to turn all the machinery In
the I'nited States. If not In the world.
In addition to this, the water thus
stored will provide constant and never
failing Irrigation for 5.000,000 acres of
land which is otherwise hopelessly
waste. The plans are already on pa
per, and there Is plenty of money be
hind the enterprise. All that Is lack
ing Is government consent to ruin in
part the grandest work of nature In
the world, the Grand canyon, and place
at the bottom of the great abyss a
Take 7 miles wide and 35 miles long.
The canyon proper la 9 miles wide, 13
miles long and a mile deep, so all of
Its scenic beauty will by no means be
destroyed. In fact, one standing upon
the rim and looking at the water be
low, without previous knowledge, will
be unable to tell that man has In any
way tampered with nature's great dis
play. Three states, California. Nevada and
Arizona are vitally Interested In the
project, and In these states there has
already. developed a sentiment which
will tend to exclude the private con
struction of the dam and plant, and
rest It entirely In the hands of the gov
ernment. At the point in Arizona near
the Intersection of the Arizona, Cali
fornia and Nevada state lines, there la
a point in the canyon which Is only
150 feet wtde. Here a wing dam ran
be constructed at comparatively low
cost which may be built as high as
one pleases without fear of securing
too much water pressure behind K.
Once constructed, the water will
back within the canyon for 35 miles.
Most of this will be cared for by the
smaller canyons leading off from the
big canyon, which are not Included In
the measurement of Ita 13 miles of
actual length. These small canyons
are also walled by solid rock, and
therefore there Is no danger whatever
from an overflow from any aource.
In order to flood surrounding land
the water would have to rise to the
height of one mile, less 700 feet. id
rover an area nine miles wide within
the canyon. The dam will, therefore,
be absolutely safe, for the retaining
wall at the end of the reservoir, owing
to the structure of the walls of the
ranyon at that point, will bear prac
tically no weight of the water what-1
ever.
The effect of the construction of this
dam cannot well be grasped by per
sona unfamiliar with what has been
done by way of development In the
southwest during the last decade. The
southwest. In the first place. Is pre
paring for a vast Increase of popula
tion from Europe once the Panama
canal Is finished, but It Is recognised
that without Industries only a certain
amount of Increase, will be accommo
dated. Arizona has shown a rensus

since 1900. fllnce the census was ta

ritory. World'a Greatest Chasm.
TbeOrand canyon of the Colorado Is
the moet stupendous chasm In the
world. Standing In the presence of
these precipitous rocks which tower to
heights of 5,000 feet, piercing ' the
clouds above; the abyss yawning at
his feet the spectator la overpowered
by the Immensity of the spectacle
confronting him. There la probably no
other spot on earth where man la more
impreased with his own Insignificance
or more overwhelmed with the majesty
of nature. It Is the grandest of all the
world's gorges. It Inspires one with
Its sublimity; It appalls him with Its
heights. Us depths. Its awful solitude.
The hand of the Infinite bas chiseled
these rocks Into most fantaatte forms,
their towering turrets and Imposing
minarets standing out boldly In bas
relief against the deep blue of a south
cologaoo
ern sky. And over all la the Illusion
of distance.
One cannot conceive the vastness of
It all and la met by a aerlea of aur
prises, aa It Is borne In upon him that
yonder gorge, or rock, or peak, or cape
lies miles In the distance. At the
bottom of the gorge the river, turbu
lent and plctureaque, madly rushes on
amid Ita rock environment, lashing It
self Into foam. About the mighty
peaks soars the eagle, and struggling
vegetation contends against fate for a
foothold among the rocks. Hut the
beaste of the forext and the flowers of
the field rarely Intrude upon these
lonely solitudes.
It is conceded that the Grand canyon
cannot be adequately painted In words,
yet some comparisons may give an
idea of Ita Immensity. Its total length
from the confluence of the Green river
to Its outlet in the Gulf of California
la more than 700 miles. With Its nu
merous laterals, some of which are
shown In the accompanying lllustra
tlons. Its length Is more than 1.000
miles. The great scenic section com
monly meant by the words, the Grand
canyon of Arizona, with a depth of
more than a mile from the rim of the
river, la 217 miles long. It has been
estimated that If all the earth and
rock that has been and will be exca
vated for the building of the Panama
canal, from the first Inception of that
great enterprise by the French com
pany to Its ultimate completion to sea
level by the American government
could be dumped Into this great rift
in the Arizona plateau. It would still
require twenty thousand times aa
much more to fill It; and the surface
area of the built up territory would be
more man io.odu square miles, or
equal to the whole of Switzerland, or
to Massachusetts, Delaware. Coneetl-
cut and Rhode Island, combined. If It
were possible to take the whole chain
of the Allegheny mountains, turn them
upside down and dump them Into the
Grand canyon, there would atlll be
tremendous canyon left. If the tallest
ak east of the Rockies rould be
planted at the level of the Colorado
liver. Its summit would still be far
below the feet of the observer stand
Ing on the rim. The greatest of the
pyramids of Kgypt Is 4S5 feet high, the
Washington monument Is 555 feet tall
and the bat on the statue of William
Pen that surmounts the City ball at
Philadelphia la 5."i7 feet above the
level of the street. If one placed the
Pyramid of Cheopa upon the floor of
the ranyon, planted the Philadelphia
City hall upon Its apex, and then
poised the Washington monument up
on ttint their aggregate height would
reach only a quarter of the way to the
top.
It Is 44 years since MaJ. Powell, long
the distinguished head of the I'nited
States Geological survey, signaled to
his fellow countrymen that he bad
made the run of 1.000 miles of Ameri
can canyons. The scientific world
stood agape, for the feat waa believed
to be all btu impossible. Vp to Pow
ell's time man thought of the canyon
aa something altogether forbidding
and unapproachable so little was It
known, so much was It dreaded and
even now, when men have descended
to the river by man made trails and
the telephoto lena has searched out
the unreachable glares, though tour
ists have confronted It with battery
of cameras, thought geologists have
borne their testimony and artists have
sketched and painted, and travelers
have exhauated vocabularies to give
expression to their wonder still we
have caught but a glimpse of this
manifold mystery, for the particular
view that enthralls us Is but one of
ten thousand views.
Thomas Moran, whose masterful
painting of the canyon adorns the capt
tol at Waahlngton, and who, above all
other painters, has succeeded la de
picting Its Illusive atmosphere, once
said: "I can understand how a man
caa attempt to paint the canyon, but
how can a man be foolish enough to
attempt to describe it I"
