Will Celebrate the Fourth by a Glor-
 ious Picnic

Congress camp is to have Fourth of July celebration that will for hearty unanimity, patriotism and unique feat ures top anything ever before at- tempted in the territory. Secretary Arthur N. Gage of the Congress com pany and James Reese, the manager of the boarding house, spent yesterday in Phoenix arranging for supplies. The idea is to load about all of Con- gress on a train, to be pulled by the locomotive of the Congress company out over the new railroad and down over the Santa Fe to Brill's grove on the Hassayampa. There a pavilion is to be erected and refreshments, in- cluding fifty gallons of DeMers' best ice cream, will be at the disposition of any who choose to come. The ev- ening will be there spent, as we'll as the day, and the fireworks will be fol- lowed by dancing till a late hour when the return will be made to Congress. As the trains on the Santa Fe run ex- actly right for attendance, a large crowd is expected from Phoenix, a general invitation being hospitably ex- tended. A few hours may be spent during the day, return to be made on the afternoon train.
 For the Fourth the Santa Fe has made a round trip rate of one fare, tickets good till the 11th, allowing for cheap recreation during early July. The same rate holds good on the At lantic & Pacific and a crowd of cool weather seekers is expected to north to Williams and Flagstaff about that time
