LOS ANGELES .l'l| VISITORS. They Have Come and Conquered. Mission One of Commercial
 Amity. After industrious Sightseeing They Leave for Los Angeles
 Today.

The Los Angeles visitours, congre gation of the jolliest of good fellows, spent yesterday. in doing the sights" with an intelligent industry that showed them to be linen of the hour" Though business men, all they have not come for direct business. The mandate was issued tby Leader Max Meyberg before leaving the an- gelic city that no sample cases went, save those that contained the spirit that cheers and mayhap inebriates. They came for "a time," and a time they will have if industry and nat ural aptitude in the business of revel- " can secure it. They are very eX- perts in the business they all say they have come upon: To add to the good feeling that exists between the Los Angelenos and Phoenicians They know we there spend our summer cash; they also desire disposition on the part of our merchants to there spend their funds for stock in general.
 The arrangements for the excursion have been about wholly directed by Max Meyberg, who also, it should be noted, is director general of the Fiesta de Los Angeles. Here is the pro gramme that was issued as Los An geles for the trip, as set forth in a neat souvenir pamphlet. 1t is headed ."Just the Bear Facts

PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY.
Beautiful Display of Fireworks Oppo-
 site Camp Hatch

"A very large crowd was present last night to witness the grand pyrotechni- cal display. in the lot opposite Camp Hatch. The work of entertaining the public by keeping the heavens con- stantly illuminated was in charge of an expert with several assistants
 When the rockets began their bril- liant lighted course skyward several horses became frightened and became unmanageable and made desperate eff forts to run away, but fortunatly no damage was done.
 The first event was large sign which read welcome" which when lighted presented a beautiful sight. Skyrockets, Roman candles, gigantic pinwheels and other kinds of fireworks followed each other in rapid profusion, so that the immediate vicinity was in constant blaze of light. The display lasted over an hour and was one of the features of the carnival warmly ap- preciated by all.

THE DAY AT CAMP HATCH.
Crowds of Visitors Watch the Evo.u-
 tions of Guard Mount.

Camp Hatch is quite an interesting place for sightseers. Yesterday morn ing at guard mount a large crowd was present to watch the evolutions of the soldiers in the changing of the guard.
 Another large crowd attended dress parade yesterday evening at twenty minutes before sunst.
 The soldiers greatly enjoy their stay in the city and although the general routine of the barracks is of a neces- sity gone through with, still they have the freedom of the city and only the guard and those assigned to spec.al duty have to stay in camp One thing is very apparent and that Is the respect shown by the men for their officers One of them in talking of the officers yesterday stated that although every one of them are strict disc. plinarians, they treat the men with great consid- eration and are always solicitous for their welfare. Captain Gi.breath, the senior officer in command, is most pleasing and affable gentleman and made host of admiring friends in the city. He is man of splendid physique and commanding appearance and en- joys the distinction Of being the second largest officer in the service. The other officers of the battalion are also very pleasant and agreeable gentle men and everybody will be sorry when the tents are leveled to the ground in Camp Hatch for the return to Whipple Barracks

THE CELIA BEND CANAL.
A Short Stay of Sale Granted by Judge
 Baker.

Yesterday was the time set for the resale of the property of the Gila Bend canal, otherwise known as the Peoria canal and the Wolfiey canal. The project itself is one of the most meri- torious and important within Arizona and will on consummation serve to irrigate one of the most magnificent tracts to be found in any cline. But litigation has cursed it and for years the region has lain with dormant capa- bilities awaiting the advent of the water.
 Crowley. Deity, Dougherty and Toohey were the contractors for the greater portion of the work, and to them came the property on sale of months ago. But they did not have the cash to pay off other claims that, under receivers certificates had pre- cedence of even their own. Given time, they still have not come up with the coin to the amount of about $780, GOO, and so a resale was set for yester- day and due advertisement made of the same.
 Yesterday morning, however. be- fore Judge Baker appeared c. F. Aims WI Ill.,. Cpl CSCnllliSS5 Luc COulFdCCOTS. he presenting an argument for a stay of the sale for a. period of sixty days. In this time he believed his clients will be able to secure the cash that would entitle them to protect them selves and to secure the canal. The plea was opposed by Walter Bennett, acting for the holders of receivers certificates
 
 Judge Baker took little time to consider the matter, finally announc- ing a stay till March g. In this the court stated he was acting only from sense of the equities involved. He did not see how the contractors could secure the money and seemed to be- lieve they would not, but was willing to give them the latitude Of extremest leniency that they be not deprived of their just earnings.
 However, the court positively an nounced, this would be the fina. date of sale and if the contractors wished to retain the canal they must then be present with the coin.

WHERE DIALECT RUNS WILD.
Specimen of the Argot in Use Among Aus
 tralian Sheep Shearers.

tralian Sheep Shearers.
 If the specimen of Australian dialect which Gilbert Parker gives in the Idler is fair sample of what we may expect when dialect writers begin to work up that country, we have not yet seen the worst. Here is a little story which reads like a missing word puzzle or cipher telegram: ''Tell ye low it was. I toddles off to the shed, pulls down me tongs, 'auls out a bloomin' papillion, and was goin' down the whippin' side, both blades 'eavily load ed, wen the boss drops and shot me dead, takes 'op skip an a jump back to the ut, put two folds in the old shirallee, slings the 'og 'ide on the tall crocodile, goes up the river like frog, sits down along sleepy Jim's muster and strips a hundred and forty by four o'clock next" And here is the inter pretation which MT. Parker is kind enough to furnish us:
 ''This is how it happened: I walked off to the shearing shed, took down my shears, hauled out sheep, and I was clipping down the right-hand side with all my might, when the manager came and discharged me. I went back to the hut, folded up my blanket, put the sad dle on my horse, galloped up the river, stopped at Sleepy Jim's sheep pen and shore hundred and forty by four o'clock next day."

 Wet Test.

strangers and of Arizonans come to visit the carnival All were housed, however, and yet there is room for more Delighted throngs crowded the streets all day and evening and every feature of the city's preparations seemed to be appreciated to the ut most
 The weather, though lowering, con- tinued good, almost warm, causing speculations as to the probability of rainfall ere the celebration closed.
 In the morning guard mount brought many to Camp Hatch, while the evo- .utions of dress parade furnished striking spectacle to the thousands that lined the parade ground
 Later there was a pleasing concert at the city hall by the Second bat talion band.
 The fremen's tournament biEed for 1 o'clock, really commenced about 2. THE FTREMEN'S TOURN AnIENT. Victors Are Victorious in the Main Event. The main feature of yesterday was the fremen's tournament, held on 1 Washington street between First street and First avenue, where the north side had been carefully prepared for the contests. The vicinity was blocked with people by 1 o'clock and housetops and balconies were crowded as we'll by those who could find positions of vantage.
 The firemen turned out in strong i force, each member cad in his neat i blue uniform.
 The first event was the wet test race, 100 yards straightaway, with a run of 15O feet of hose, time to be 1 counted when the water appeared at i the nozzle.
 The sympathies of large portion of | the assemblage were. clearly with the Yucatec Hose company Mo- 2, to which was given first run. The test was pluckily made and the coupling and water came promptly, but the time was slow, :33 3-5.
 Second came the Pioneers, the cham | pions, with their cart of many vic ! tories. The run was far more speedy than that of No. 2. There was roar of enthusiasm from the crowd, but, as the nozzleman jumped for the third connecting joint it refused to budge. Three awful seconds went by and then the disgusted fremen threw the hose aside, still uncoupled, and the pride of the champions was humbled. The Victors and Yucatecs were un- generous enough to exult with exceed ing joy.
 Third came the Victor team, about a half hour being consumed in prepa- ration. The running was superb, though their coupling appeared trif1e slow, but they won the race in thirty seconds fiat
 This is time that has often been beaten in Phoenix, but was considered excellent in view of the fact that little training had been done by any of the teams
 'IHe WIHHlHS ledu was composed or the following named sprinters: J. R. Kersting, captain; Will Robinson, O. Bellas, Ed Gowett, Tom Linville, B. Reed, Al Galpin, Tom Hamilton, Van Johnson, Mike Buckley, L. Pointer.
 The straightaway race was won by the Pioneer team in 25 3-5 seconds. The course was 600 feet, the cart car rying 250 feet of hose The -Victors came second with 27 2-5 and Yucatecs third with 2S 2-5.
 The race between the hook and lad der company team and one from the engine company was something of a farce. The former made the run of
 300 feet in fifteen seconds, the latter
