ARRIVAL OF WINTER VISITORS.
If the incoming trains from now till
carnival time continue to be as well
filled with passengers, most of whom
are strangers in the city, as they have
for the last two or three weeks, PhOe-
nix will have a pretty good attend
ance without any excursions or special
advertising. The effete east is begin
ming to hear of the sun kissed land and
the time of year is at hand when the
residents thereof are also beginning to
heed what they hear. But Phoenix is
going to have the special excursions
and special advertising and a vastly
larger number of visitors. The invita-
ton is public and the grocery stores
and hotels, like everything else these
days, are capable of expansion.
A TERRITORIAL HOSPITAL. -
Sheriff Harvey Hobbs of MOhave coun-
ty was in the city yesterday on his
way home from Yuma. where he had
taken a lot of convicts. He visited the
county hospital to complete arrange
ments of sending pcurable county
patients from Mohave under an ar
rangement that was first discussed al
a meeting of the county supervisors in
this city last spring. Sheriff Hubs
visited the hospital at the dinner hour
and was pleased with the surround
ings. 1t costs about 81 a day to keep
these patients in Mohave county, while
the cost here is only about % cents. 1t
is probable that other counties which
have no facilities for taking care of
this class of patients will send them to
Phoenix.
