grand holiday. The schools were all
closed and the only business transacted
was at the stores along the street
which did big business on account of
the many visitors i'm the city
The hotels and restaurants never in
their history did such a big business
as on Tuesday. There were nearly
10000 people to feed so it can readily
be seen that they had all they could
do. of course many Of the people
brought their lunches with them and
others went to the bakeries and
bought lunches. but the majority Of
them went to he restaurants and no
tells for their food. The managers
would be will to have big carnival
parade every day of the year if there
would such crowds in attendance.

peanut men had a yellow kid on his

many frlslly horses prancing about.
With the great number Of people in
the city is is really remarkable that
there have been no accidents. AS yet
there have not been any reported and
it is doubtful if any are for the biggest

lice deserve great credit for the way
they Kept the people back out Of dan

into the way of horses There have
been no disturbances considering the
10000 people in the city. There has been
but little drunkenness. Only a few
have been arrested for that cause and
very few have been seen on the street
who We're not perfectly able to take
care Of themselves.
The weather clerk showed his APP
probation of the people of Gardiner
and his foresight for their benefit in
sending a little shower soon after the
parade was over. 1t laid the dust and
was not of sufficient violence to keep
the people at home to any extent. The
people were out on the street Just the
same and the Coliseum crowd was not
materially diminished by the shower.
Taken as whole. the day could not
have been better if it had been made to
order.
There were a number Of distinguish
ed visitors inthe city besides those WHO
were in the parade. Among them:

business on his shoulders than a man
on the town. then there is the lazy
man who would not hurry to his own

which will never he forgotten.
The crowd was simply enormous.
There were all the visitors who were
here. Monday. and the trains and cleo
trio cars poured visitors in here by the
thousands all the morning. 1t is esti-
mated that over 5000 people were
stretched along the lire of the parade
to see it.
one Of the pleasing features was the
little Augusta Cadets who did escort
duty to Governor Powers. The little
fellows were drilled right w to the
scratch, and they We're the admiration
of the crowd. The Gardiner small boys
crowded round and admired them as
only small boy can admire another
boy hero. for that is what the Cadets
were here, Tuesday.
Major Berry. although suffering from
severe injury to his arm. performed
the duties of chief marshal in the best
manner possible. Assisted by an able
corps of aids everything passed off
very smoothly, and there was very
little hustle or confusion in forming
the parade Major Berry expressed the
feeling in his arm when the horse was
moving as like a jumping toothacha.
Nobody would have thought anything
was the matter with him. however. for
despite the load of responsibility on his
shoulders he was perfectly cool and al
ways wore a smile. Too much praise

United States has produced a tremen-
dous demand for artisans. The schools
have not responded readily enough
The demand has brought into existence
manual training schools and business
colleges, neither of which should exist.
| The speaker believed if the city of
Phoenix would put manual training in
it's schools after awhile it would have
a population intelligent in the practi-
cal elements of life.
! A song by the Coyote club followed.
Should the United States Govern
ment Grant to Arizona the Arid Lands
, of the Territory?" was a question
treated by Ex-Governor NJ. H. McCord.
Col. McCord said he appeared as Il
substitute for another who could have
handled the subject more ably than he.
The speaker read the resolution of
fered at the trans Mississippi congress.
What was good for the whole arid belt
was good for Arizona The granting of
the arid lands would give fifty-one
million acres of desert lands at pres
ent of no value The estimate
amount of land that could be re-
claimed would be worth a least $40
per acre. The whole gift would
amount to more than thirty-six mil
hon dollars. 1t would be. he said, en-
tiTely too munificent. 1t would be en-
trusted under present laws to twenty,
five men. The Geary act gave to the
states and territories one million acres
Of arid land provided they reclaimed
them. Since that time but a few
hundred thousand acres out of per-
haps twelve million have been re-
claimed. What would Arizona do with
twelve million acres that it would
have to reclaim? One CT the greatest
obstacles, said the speaker, in the way
OF impounding great bodies of water
is the fact that great rivers would
have to be damned.
THE best way" said Col. McCord,
ito reclaim the arid lands is to have
the government build the reservoirs
and furnish water to the different
canals. The only objection to the gov
ernmentaI plan is that congress can
not be induced to go into the reservoir
building business. If the people of the
arid west would get together the gov
eminent could be induced to take the
step. The United States senate is in
faV or of the plan already. The house
is not in favor of the idea, but the
people of the east are growing favor
able to the governmental reclamation
of the great west"

FARMERS OF ARIZONA
Fifth Annual Session of the
Agricultural Association.
The Subject of Fruits, Their Gull
ture and Preparation for the
Market and Shipment Occupied
Greater Part of the first Day.

The fifth annual session of the Ari-
iona Agricultural association opened
at Padget hall at half past ten o'clock
yesterday morning. The hall was
tastefully decorated with the products
of the valley. There were ripe and
green oranges, the glowing fruit of
the vine, and a varied collection of the
grains and grasses of the valley. There
were the cheese and butter products
of the diaries, and what few agricul-
tural associations could show of local
products, the plumes and eggs of an
ostrich farm.
The meeting was called to order by
President F. A. Gulley. Secretary w.
G. Burns read a telegram from Gov
ernor Murphy, to whom had been as
signed the duty of the welcoming ad-
dress, conveying his regret at his in
ability to be present.
The following committee on nomina
lions was appointed: Messrs. Rays,
Hough, Cooke and Professors r. H.
Forbes and A. j. McClatchie.
Mrs. P. A. Tharaldson sang a solo.
after which President Gulley delivered
an address on corporations and cattle
feeding.
Professor Gulley took the position
that the methods of the corporations
could be initiated to advantage by
farmers He did not denounce cor
poration methods, but found some
things in them to commend. He said
the farmers are losing ground numer
ically, while other branches of indus
try are growing rapidly, due to better
methods of organization.
THE farmer he said, lis vitality in
terested in the economical and success
full operation of these business comhi-
nations. Without them the crops of
the present time could not reach the
consumer and must largely rot in the
fields
He described the evolution of trusts /

She was taken i'll some time ago, and, while the "darkys had no money to pay for a physician, he per suaded local doctor to visit his wife and prescribe for her. He succeeded In getting the medicine from dis pensary all right but one thing both~ cred him. The doctor told him he mus, make his wife some chicken broth and feed her a certain amount every fifteen minutes, Trouble is, doe said the colored man aint got no pusson to make the broth and feed her" The doctor said shortly; Feed her vour- self, you lazy fellow. You have never done a stroke of work in your life. and you haven't anything else to do." The "darky'' scrabhed his grizzled head in a puzzled way. and said slowly. "Yas sah Yas. sah. Oats right.
