 representatives in the Coconin

 tire town turned out, partook of tn
 viands and indulged in dancing.
 The following toasts were re
 sponded to: "Coconino County, by Hon. W. G. Stewart. Mir Stewart in eloquent and eff fective language reviewed at lengtl the rise and fall of Clconino. w.
 regret that lack of space prevents u from giving in detail what was said
 but in brief and concise language h, told the taxpayers of northeastern Arizona the why and wherefore anC depicted the way in which the yeo men of one of the most prosperous sections of the Territory were denied their just rights. His remarks wer, attentively listened to by a large audience, which was composed of tn, leading citizens of Flagstaff anc vicinity.
 "The Future State of Arizona, by J. F. Daggs.
 Mir. Daggs reviewed in brief tht history of the Territory in the past and also gave many good reasons why Arizona should be made a bril liant star in the constellation oi States.
 'The Town of Flagstaff" by Ed ward M. Doe.
 Mir. Doe in his eloquent way pie. tured out a bright future for Flag. staff, and showed how much more rapidly the town would have i'm proved and prospered had Coconinc County been created. He also showed in a logical and forcible ar gument, where not only our own people would have lrssened their tax ation, but also those who belong to the great hub of the universs-Pres- colt. Mir. Doe closed his address by saying: 'That despite the Ex- ecutive veto, he thought that two years hence our people would be able to have new county even though the bill should be again ve- toed when passed" "
 Our Southern Friends" by R. II. Cameron, was the hit of the evening, although it was Ralph's effort it was short and to the point. We spare space below to give his speech in full.
 Mr. Al Doyle was then called upon and gave in his way, as an oid-timer and taxpayer, the reasons why he thought an injustice had been done the people Of our section by not allowing a division of the County.
 Mir. Cameron, said
 "Iadies and Gentlemnn-Fellow Citizens A short time ago I packed my cotton satchel and started for Phenix to help in my feeble way the creation of Coconiuo Coun- ty. Toni it whiie the cloud of bat, tie has just raised from the scene of we have met to condole with one another over our defeat While our people have honored our from home by this gathering, we feel that we owe 8 debt of gratitude and should ever hold in grateful remembrance ourab- sent southern friends who extended to us in our hour of need their hearty cooperation and sympathy. We, perhaps, feel to bitterly towards the people of Prescott and St. Johns, who fought us so consistently, and toward Governor Wolfey who de- feated us for one, and OTHER REAs- oNs. But we can scarcely feel too kindly to the people of the south, who, when Prescott emmissaries sought to turn them from us by mis- representation, still stood staunchIy with us. With the people of Pres colt and St. Johns we have but lit tie community of interest, while be- tween us and the people of the south there is decided sympathy and community of interest, both in po- litical matters and in our material interests. The people of the south want our lumber and coal, and we the hay grain and fruits of the south. The proposed railroad from this place to Phoenix will soon enable us to make these exchanges and establish closer relations between us and our southern nelghbors. l believe in loving our friends, and to you-OUR SOUTHERN FRIENDs-'may you live forever and your shadows never grow less.
 At the conclusion of the banquet the guests, consisting of the leading citizens of Flagstaff and surrounding country, adjourned to the Wood Company's halfand engaged in dan cling until three o'clock in the morn ing, when they retired to their homes, saying that they had partici- pated in one of the most enjoyable social events in the annals of Flag staff.
