| A rather humorous incident occurred
at Maricopa in connection with the
Senate committee. It just happened
that Dell Lewis, the big sheriff of Co.
chise was at the station en-. route to
Phoenix when the Senators arrived
The members of the party were more
than curious to know who the big fellow
was because he filled their idea of a
typical sArizonaian tothe letter. Senator
Dillingham; especially wanted to meet
| him and when he was introduced the
big sheriff gave him grip that he will
not forget very soon. However, they
became good friends at sight and in the
long conversation which they held, it is
safe to say DELI Lewis did something for
Statehood. Senator Dillingham; referred
often afterward to the fine specimen of
Arizona manhood he met at \ aricopa.
| The Eagles carnival brought many
attractions to the city but one of the
really big attractions is the Electric
Theater which is located to the right of
the Stadium on the grounds. This show
scoreda hit the minite it opened. Crowds
o. people visit the attraction every night
and you never hear any one ask for his
money back when the performance is
over. The moving pictures exhibited
in the show are so clear and well de-
fined that they have the seeming reality
of life. Mt. Pelee with its terrific ex-
plosions, streams of lava and fiery
mouth is transported as it were for the
moment. The real feature of the show,
however, lis the last address and the
fur eral of martyred president, William
McKinley.l These are touching and
beautiful scenes. The other features.
moving lpictures, illustrated songs, re-
production of bull fight etc. are well
worth visit to the Electric Theater.

The base ball pennant is a thing of
the past and now the championship of
the gridiron will have to be decided.
The U.s of A. will buck up against the
Tempea aNormals next Saturday after
ION to settle this question. Each team
b It's conquered all corners in its vicinity
and now it is a. case of breaking the ice
between them. The Normals have two
or three scalps to their credit and the
U. of A. have as many. The contest
should be fierce and with the eleven in
condition the U. of A. should wipe up
the field with the Tempe aggregation,
