 Warmly Welcomed
THE VISIT A SHORT ONE
It Was We'll Filled in With Entertain ment Concluding With an Enthus- iastic Reception at the Hotel Adams Last Night.

The Hearst cOESTSSSiOlieti pehi tS 'N0 warmly received in Phoenix yesterday as it has been everywnere since it's advent into Arizona It arrived here very nearly on time and a considerable part of the population was at the Santa Fe Pres colt & Phoenix depot to meet it. Not withstanding the elaborate arrange ments which had been made for its reception there was an unfortunate hitch in the arrangement for meeting the visitors and much time was wasted in getting the carriages togetherso that the start was not made from the train until fifteen minutes after its arriv4l l.
 The members of the party beside MT. Hearst were United States Sem ator Lee S. Overman of North Caro- lima. Representatives M. E. Burton, F. P Campbell. Charles F. Cochran. David A De Armond, John Dougherty. Courtney w. Hanriin of Missouri, Martin Enerich of Illinois, James M- Griggs of Georgia. Theodore F. kluttz of New York. James T. Lloyd of Mis- souri. Robert W. Miers of Indiana. H. T. Rainey of Illinois. James NJ Robin son of Indiara, Oscar w Underwood of Alabama and Former Governor Powers of Maine.
 In addition to the members of the congressional party were MT. Andrew M. Lawrence mara ging editor of the Chicago American. Max F. IhInsen Of the New York American, Samuel Powell agent of the Five Nations h. dians, Horace Bernard official photo grapher and Wallace Rice literary eda- tor of the Chicago American. Many of the gentlemen were accompanied by their wives. Col. Wilson who had met the visitors at Albuquerque was also of the party which too had been joined at Williams by Henry F. Ashurst-
 Senator J. R. Burton of Kansas. it was understood would accompany the party and he was a member Of it, but much to his disappointment he was reca He'd by an urgent telegram before reaching Phoenix. The disappointment was even greater here for every body wished to see the brilliant Kansas senator.
 The appearance of MT Hearst at the depot was awaited with interest He was immediately recognized by the portraits oi him and he created in per son a more favorable impression than
  tures There was all about him the enthusiasm of youth. He had also pleasant and youthful smile. He was quickly surrounded by his admirers most of whom had never before seen him and he shook hands with the crowd until the carria ges were ready to move.
 The party was first driven to the capitol building where the members were cordially received by Governor Brodie.
 Leaving the capitol the procession of carriages kept well together till the Indian school was reached. At times certain of them. whose occupants wanted to see special sights, diverged from the outlined course for this pur- pose but the original plans were ad- hered to in the nlaiE and as much of the surrounding farming country as possible in the short time allowed, was driven over.
 Most of the party drove by the Country Club grounds west of the city, north of the Christy ranch, and east across Grand avenue and the Black Canyon road to Central avenue, then north to the Indian school.
 MT. Hearst expressed a desire to see
  heath SO his carriage and some of the others were driven to the Pickrell farms.
 When darkness too nearly approached to profitably spend more time in sight seeing the visitors were driven rapidly back to the city for dinner and to their cars to prepare for the reception at the Hotel AGams in the evening. All expressed themselves as delighted with what they had seen in the few hours of daylight spent in this valley. Many Of them said it had been, the most delightful day since their tour began and Mir Hearst said he had seen more here in the line of what they came to see than anywhere else and in d shorter space of time. The ride in from the north gave something of an idea of the width of the valley, the west of the city and the immense acreage available for agriculture. while in Phoenix and the north he had noted the transformation from the desert to the garden spot, the works of man in his application of thes water to the desert. He was driven by the High school and Central school build ings and over a considerable portion of the city and was made to understand fully that the evident work of human genius within the corporation lines was only that which might follow on every acre of this broad valley, with time, water and facilities q. hand.
 Another incident of the drive was of a specially pleasing nature. Chief Justice Edward Kent. a native of the good old state of Maine was placed in a carriage with former Governor Powers of Maine. It was a most agree able arrangement for Gov. Powers was an old friend of Judge Rents father. Governor Kent. with whom he had . practiced law. Whatever may be Gov. Powers sentiments respecting state hood for Arizona it is believed he heard some good arguments in favor of it yesterday from the lips of one in whom he has personal confidence.
 Returning from the drive late in the
