: The guests remained ct the table two
hours, partaking of the edibles and
beverages set before them, responding
to toasts, making impromptu speeches,
etc, in which the manager and chef of
the Harvey House received, their full
share of praise for the banquet and the
easy and smooth manner in which the
courses were served-not an order hav-

seated at the table, who had present at
many similar occasions in different
cities of the United States, and they
declared they had never sat to finer
banquet or one better served.

Northern Arizona is bound in icy

Pacific railroad are equipped with snow
plows to keep the tracks clear, while
Yuma enjoys perennial summer and its
denizens are now feasting on fresh
Strawberries and oranges of home pro-
duction. At Globe is found the happy
mean of altitude and temperature, con-
ditions which make the climate here
+almost ideal--free from biting cold in
the winter and extreme heat during
the summer season.
There is no political division of the
United States that enjoys so great a
variety OF climate es Arizona, and al
though the differences of temperature
are extreme, yet the Arizona climate is
homogeneous in this, that everywhere
the air is pure and eXhilerating and
within the borders of the territory can
be found conditions suitable to nearly
every form of life, and remedial of al
most every i'll that flesh is heir to.
Probably no territory Of equal area
on the globe presents SO great a variety
of fora and fauna as is found in Ari-
zona, affording continual surprise to
the Investigator. The mountainou Gus re-
gions of Northern Arizona and the
burning sands of the southern deserts

the assem- mblage were ready for some
thing more substantial and instructive,
and called upon F. P. Secrist to furnish
it, who did SO by explaining the func-
tions, powers and, workings of the Su-

all times and on all occasions, but ex-
celled himself this time.

cited "The Goat" in happy and felic-

by the audience, particularly the ladies.

Arizona, as we'll as the country at
large. is far more in need of fewer and
simpler laws than the enactment of
new ones. The earth has been gifted
with very few genuine law makers and
so noted are they that their names are
household words in every enlightened
nation. With the national legislature
turning out laws every year, every
state. county and municipality doing
likewise, the mountainous burden of
law under which this country groans is
fearful to contemplate, and it does
seem that justice is being crushed un-

1.-TWO of them have been operating

There was a very badly written sign
out in front announcing that Zealand,
seventh daughter of the seventh daugh-
ter of Fora. the queen of Egypt, who
was born with a veil on her face, which
had never been penetrated, could be

queen could tell fortunes and cure all
