of less than a years schooling in the ways of the white man, yet boys and girls alike compare most favorably with the youth of similar age in the schools of the Caucasians. They are very neatly clothed in. garments made wholly by the girls, and their demeanor in camp is as well ordered as though it were camp Of regular troops. Every task is done with pre- cision and with an air of even enjoy ment, and the evo,utions of marching are gone through with, led by their own sergeant drillmasters, with the ex- actitude of veterans.
 Today these children will be joined by 330 more young Pimas from the great Indian school north of Phoe- nix, where Superintendent Harwood Hall is showing that in the red man are the traits essential to the makeup of the good citizen. The Indian section we'll be led by the school band, an or ganization of real merit and in line the school will have four floats, illustra- tive of the kindergarten, manufactur- ing, culinary and domestic features of the training by the pupils received.
 At the park, within the circle where the bicycle cracks will attempt the records, will be held the exhibitions of Dr. Carver, the noted rifle shot, who is here with his troupe and horses. There also will be held cowboy sports of every description, participated in by hundred or. more of AriZona's best known range riders, with their Sun day horses and most striking garb Prizes of value have been offered for the steer tying, roping and "broncho busting contests.
 Of soldiery there is good supply Through the courtesy of headquarters at Denver and of Col DeRussy, three companies of the Eleventh United States infantry, comprising the total garrison of Whippie Barracks, arrived yesterday noon with the regimental band, and have gone into camp. Camp Hatch,' west of the East End school house. To them will be added the at tendance of three companies of terri torial militia, and a competitive drill will probably be a feature of the cele- ibration
 Another interesting feature will be the fremen's tournament for the cham pionship of the territory, now held by Pioneer hose of this city. And, to fill in, will Ibe sports of every description.
 And the visitors-they are legion and in themselves an element of ex- treme interest Of every kind are they, from the rough mountaineer to the dandy of the city. Where all the people are packed is a mystery. Yet Phoenix, like friendly anaconda, has unlimited powers of expansion and ever room for few more Shelter for hundreds will be found at their sleep ing cars, side tracked at the several railway depots. The presence of such throng from abroad is largely due to the favorable railway rates, only half fare having been charged from all points in Colorado, New Mexico, Ari- zona and California, and from the west Pullman fares have been given free This morning. the carnival will be formally opened. Brass bands scat tered throughout the city will break into harmony at exactly 10 o'clock, and from the city hall stand. Ex-Chiei Justice Gooding will welcome the visitors and annouace that the city is for four days delivered over unto the merrymakeEs.
 The weather is all that could be de- sired and it's genial warmth is the sub ject of eulogistic comment among the northern arrivals. Ut really is spring time, for the cottonwood trees are put ting forth their leaves.
 The carnival is already a success The entertainment, from reveille to fireworks, is sure ito be all that was an- ticipated by the most optimistic. It is an advertisement for the Salt River valley such as it before never has known, and to the enterprising citizens of Ar:zona's capital will return it's cost many fold.
