The trip of the President to the Congress gold mine annoyed PhoeniX from the start. The people were indignent and, when theyfound that the trip had dis arrang ed. the whole program of the day, they were thoroly aroused. The crowd waited for hours beneath the broiling hot sun.
 Altho the Phoenix reception committee accompanied the Pres ident to Phoenix from Congress 1t was evident that Governor Murphy was the one whom the President looked to for his com- fort and guidance. The evening paper complained that the ser vice of the citizens committee was evidently not needed" and the crowds that came from the outside towns wondered where they were at."-Dai1y Citizen.

President Mckinley left Wash 1 ington on Apr. 29 the longest trip
 every taken by a President of the
 U. s. The total distance to be travelled by June 18th, is 1O,581
 miles. President Harrison nearly
 made as long trip i'll 1891, when
 he left Washington April 14th and returned May 18th after hav- l ing travelled 9,228 miles. Presi-
 dent Mckinley, like president ! Harrison, opposing travelling on Sunday, except in cases of abso-
 lute necessity, and the special train will be sidetracked every
 Sunday during the trip, the sched-
 ule giving the following in the
 order named as the Sunday stop
 ping places: San Antonio, Texas;
 Del Monte and San Francisco,
 Cal; Spokane Wash; Salt Lake
 city, Utah, and Chicago. Four members of the Cabinet, Secre-
 taries Hay, Hitchcock and Wilson and Postmaster General Smith,
 left Washington with the Pres ident, and Secretary Long, who has gone to visit his daughter in Colorado, will join him before San Francisco is reached. One car of the special train is fitted out as the Presidents office and the presence of Secretary Cortel- you and several of the White House corps of stenographers, will make it as easy for the Pres ident to transact executive busi- ness on the train. as he could in Washington. But unless something unexpected turns up, he doesn't expect to give much time to business. There IS no need for him to do so, as there is little liklihood of anything hav- ing to be disposed of before his return that cannot be handled by the three members of the Cabinet Secretaries Root and Gage and Attorney General Knox, left in Washington. In fact, the busi- ness of the government Is just now largely routine, both domes- tic and outside.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM

Loss Angeles, May 9,-The day of the floral parade dawned gloomy and overcast, but just as the parade started the sun came out bright and warm. The pres ident led the procession in a car riage decorated in white and vel low, and drawn by four white horses with yellow trappings. The parade was in nine divisions. It surpassed anything ever seen in Southern California. There were hundred thousand people on the streets; every window along the route was crowded, the roofs were covered, the population of other cities of Southern Cal ifornia being emptied into Los Angeles. Every train this morn ing was packed. Every thing went off without q hitch, The president was greeted everywhere with tremendous enthusiasm. He dropped out of the parade al the tribuns in front of the city hall and from there reviewed the procession in a bower of fiesta colors and beautiful flowers. = ] Gazette.

SiftingS from the Pres. ident'S visit in
 Phoenix.

PHoENIx, Ariz., May 8-The crowd that came to Phoenix to see President Mckinley went away disappointed, and only a dozen or so shook his hand. The presidents train arrived later than was expected. and the re- port was given circulation that the presidential party would be at the adams hotel immediately after the arrival of the train. Great crowds gathered there, but but the president did not appear.
 The day was excessively hot, and the president evidently mad known to the governor his wishes and as soon as the reception was over at the Capitol. A drive over the valley was taken.
 The ranchers and their families came out to greet the chief exc cutive, and cowboys took off | their sombreros as he passed along the county roads.
 The crowds were disappointed Tn the arrangements which de- prived them of seing the Presi- dent, but the business men of Phoenix are glad that the chief executive saw the valley. and became familiar with the agricu1- tural interests, the prosperity and substantiability of the ranches, and saw with his own eyes what water can do Tn transforming 1 the desert into a garden.
 No doubt the President will feel a deeper interest in the rec lamation of the arid wastes, and the fact that he was taken away from the crowds and put in touct with the valley and its desires will be very much appreciated bN the ranchers and the business men of this city.

FROM THE GLOBE TIMES. ]

(FRoM THE GLOBE TINES
 You have triumphed over many trials, you have overcome many difficulties you have done what it has been given few people to do, you have made the grass grow where it. never grew before, you have field, and forest; you have mines; you have rich products from one end of your territory to the other. 1 am glad to make acknowledgement to the state builders here in Arizona, men who build the common- wealth that at last beomes one of the glorious states in the glor- ious union. I have been glad to note your splendid public inn provements.
 This capitol, on the steps of  which 1 stand to day, should be a matter of pride to the people of your territory. Your public schooles, your university of learn ing at the old capital of the territory, you care for the unfor- tunate people that dwell in your midst all give evidence of that splendid civilization which you so nobly represent.
 Nor do 1 forget standing in this presence that when we were constrained reluctantly to go to ware with Spain and a call was made for volunteers 1t was in this territory that the first patri- otic response was made.
 this territory furnished nearly two hundred soldiers for that unique and gallant regiment of rough riders.
 And here the flag was made by noble women of Phoenix that first hoated over the Spanish fortifica- tiona in Cuba. What a record that regiment had. It lost some of its bravest and best at Gnasi- mas and at San Jaun Hill, but they fell for a noble cause. The first colonel of your regiment is now successfully administering the affairs of the island as governor General Wood.
 T Congratulate you upon the splendid type and character ot your people and 1 leave with you may best wishes for their happi- ness and progress and that they may soon be able to show the congress of the United States that they have builded we'll and strongly and wisely this great territory and are prepared to be admitted into union of States" Enthusiastic applause),

Birth Place of tie American Flag.
Citizens of Apache Go.

aught to enthuse every American Citizen to that extent they would not be satisfied until they have done their part in this matter.
 In this city stands a building of interest to all citizens who appreciate the efforts of our forefathers in establishing free dom upon this continent, called the Betsy Ross Building" or
 Birth Place of Old Glory" in which the first American Flag was designed and made. This building occupies very Signi ficant Position in this city and remains the same as when Geo. Washington in connection with others meet there for the Purpose above stated.
 Lately this property has changed hands and in order to preserve this memorable place the following plan was devised to raise the required amount to purchase 1t.
 Some time ago the American Flag House and Betsy Ross Memorable Assoc" was organized with patriotic men at it's head for this purpose They issue a beautiful certificate exhibiting the interior of the building in colors showing Geo. Washington Hon Geo. Ross K obt. Morris the designer Betsy Ross the maker all at work, On the left hand side is the exterior of this bild- ing and right hand is a picture of Betsy Ross grave.
 In order to gain all all equal show in this the certificates are issued to any person for the sum of ten cents thereby involving great number of members to buy the proper tv
 This is one deal where apulence does not over rule poverty as only one certificate Is issued to the same person irrespective of his finan- cial standing.
 1 have been looking over the records and in doing so find that | poor Arizona has at present only ! thirty two members, showing by | for the smallest representation of ! any state or territory Tn the union 1 have a warm feeling for the citizens Of Ariz. especially for those who inhabit Apache Go. and canot believe this small ! representation Is due to their non patriotism, but on the contrary their not moving ot such an lssocation existing. This Is why 1 ] place this article in your county paper, that Arizona might at | least be placed on a par, if not | 'urpass the western states and to give all patriotic citizens a chan ;e to receive one of these member ship certificates.
 To complete this negotiation t will necesSitate the selling of ,00O,OOO certificates of which 785, ,O00 have already been despOs- d of and when the remaining 215, ,000 nave been sold then the property is turned over to the and becomes public propirty.

What's in a sign?" might be asked about
many Of the bulletins posted all over the
city to advertise some business or call at
tention to some particular thing.
The queer turn that is occasionally given
to a sign often serves to attract attention
to it. However. it is doubtful IL the pro-
prietor of Market street dry goods store
was pleased with the change in his sign
which occurred recently. He had a notice
In front Of his place which read, 1.-The
Cheapest Store of the City" Some one put
a theatrical poster over the first four let
ters of the cheapest" so that the sign
read, 'The Pest Store Of the City" The
merchant wondered why so few customers
called that day.
1t must have been with feelings other
than those of 1attery that the pastor of
church In Roseville saw a notice he put
out reading. 'The pastor will preach here
this evening"" changed by some wag to

appear to be doing a preserving business
