The party left Douglas, special. over

was spent at the club. meeting the
citizens OF Deming. when the party

a very high wind. Mr.. Murphy did not
feel equal TO visiting more than a rev.
of the prominent points of interest. but
the general. as is his custom. took it
all in. Certainly, the government has
undertaken Il great and neritorius
task in establishing this sanatorium.
the results Of which have already more
than exceeded the most sanguine eX-
pectat tions Of its supporters. The gov
ernment is very fortunate in securing
the services of nr. Appel, who is in full
charge of everything, and the doctor
has good reason TO feel proud OF the
results accomplished. There are some
thing like 200 patients in the sanatorium
at present, among them being a num-
Der of officers whom the party enjoyed
meeting very much. They We're all
doing nicely. and to all inten.s and
purposes as far as was apparent 10

at the sanatorium is perfect. Correct
living and perfect rest. together with

science can provide. is certainly max
ing it vely interesting for the tuSer-

because it was the expression applied
al the sanatorium to the tuberculosis
bacillus.
After the examination the party re-
turned to Dr.. Appels residence where

met the party and took them to the
Highland hotel for breakfast, after
which General Macarthur. Major Var

a number OF the citizens of Albuquer-

location of the post.
In the evening a reception was given

a very elegant function. hundreds of
people being present from Albuquerque
and surrounding places. Governor
Otero and party took an active part.

Mr.. Murphy having an appointment
I
PEELED TO leave early: not, however. IN
til he had had the pleasure of meeting
a number of old friends and acqualn-
tances living in Albuquerque and
sharing with the general and mis- staff
in the generous hospitality.
General Macarthur was to remain
another day il Albuquerque and would
then return to Denver. He expressed
himself as being very grateful fn'
the courtesie:7 that had been extended
on every hand; the citizens, generally,
as well as the railroad companies. hay
ing made it possible for him to make
the most of his trip to the territory.
1t is hardly too much to say that
General Macarthur saw more of A.
zona and became better acquainted
with conditions, industrial and other
wise, than most residents of the terri
tory, and certainly knows more than
any one who has spent great deal
longer time in making Investigations.
When asked as 10 his opinion regard
ing the re-establishment OF Fort Whip-
pie. Mr.. Murphy said General Mac
Arthur had in no way intimated WhaH
his report would be; but having every
confidence in the general recommend
ing what lie thought was right under
the circuns lances. and being himself
thoroughly convinced that the post
should he established. he was in
cIired to believe the general would
reach the. same conclusion, as he GER
tainIy tried to gather all the informa-
ton possible. He undoubtedly made
obserVa tion of the climate; inspected
the w:uer and sewerage system closely:
examined the target range; became ia
miliar with the strategic advantages
resulting from the building of the
North and South road; learned great
deal about the mining CAMPS through
out this section of Arizona, and is well
equipped to pass intellig ant judgment
on the entire situation.
Mr.. Murphy was asked if the general
was likely to remain lorg at the head
OF the Department of the Colorado, and
replied that he was afraid not; but if
in making the change, the general
should, as suggested, be called to Chi
cage, he believed he would do Arizona
more good than if he We're to remain
at the head of this department He
