Grand Canyon, May 6.-(Special.)- The population of the Grand Canyon, ordinarily limited to hotel and railroad employees, was swelled today to 1000 by visitors brought on special Santa Fc trains to meet the president, and when MT. Roosevelt arrived at this morn ing he met a most cordial greeting. From the minute he emerged from the car until he departed for Los Angeles at o'clock he was in the highest spir it's and his visit here will probably be remembered as the most pleasant of his entire journey. The programme com prised a horseback ride to Rowes point three miles west of the station, whence Q magnificent view of the canyon was obtained, followed by an address to the people on his return. then another horseback ride to Grand View, four teen miles west, for luncheon. Return ing to the station there was reception in his car to his comrades of the Cuban war.
 As the president emerged from the car he wore broad smile which showed all his teeth. He had on a battered slouch hat which had been white, blue cotton shirt, a black coat, khaki trous CTS, riding boots and his face was as brown as a brick. He lifted his hat in response to cheers. and. followed by Governor Brodie, started for the horses, which were held in readiness, but his Rough Rider comrades surged around him and he had to delay his departure ten minutes while he shook hands.
 GREETING TO DANIELS
 ,r, ez. - t.o ,..o1,rr-t,,o.1 ,,-oe Da,, Daniels, his first choice for United States marshal. Daniels came here with some trepidation. but remarked to me on the train yesterday that he pro- posed to show the president he was not afraid to meet him, notwithstanding the unpleasant experience following his ap poIntment. The presidents reception of Daniels was cordial in the extreme. "Why, hello Ben" he said. "Old man. I am awfully glad to see you, by George. Get horse and come with us. and ride with me on my train down the road tonight" Daniels was almost ov- ercome. MT. ROosevelt's greeting of all the other Rough Riders was enthusias tic.
 The horses were mounted and the president and Governor Brodie, Dr. Rixey, President Nicholas Murray But Ter of Columbia university, galloped away Before their return special train from Flagstaff brought in several hundred people. Upon their return the president and party rode to the hotel, dismounted and took another look at the canyon from the brink in front of the hotel. From the veranda of the hotel managers house he addressed the crowd.
 THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
 Governor Brodie introduced MT. Roosevelt in a few feeling words, and the president, speaking slowly and ear nestly, said:
 MT. Governor, and You, My Fellow Citizens, My Fellow Americans, Men and Women of Arizona. I am glad to be in Arizona today. It was from Ari- zona that so many gallant men came into the regiment which I had the hon. or to command. Arizona sent men who won glory on hard-fought fields, and men to whom came a glorious and an honorable death fighting for the flag of their country, and as long as I live it will be to me an inspiration to have served with Buckley O'Neil. (Applause) ] nave met so many COInTdueS WHOlll l prize, for whom I feel only respect and admiration, and I shall not par ticularize among them except to say that there is no one for whom I feel more of respect and admiration and af- lection than for your governor. (Ap- plause.) I remember when I first join ed the regiment that all of us were new to one another, but as soon as l saw the colonel Che was then major) I made up my mind I could tie to him. (Cries of 'GOod.' Applause)
 RESERVOIR SUGGESTION.
 Ut is pleasure to be in Arizona. l have never been in it before. Arizona is one of the regions from which l ex- pect most development through the wise action of the national congress in passing the irrigation act. (Appiause) The first and biggest experiment now in view under that act is the one that we are trying in Arizona. (Applause) | look forward to the effects of irrigation, o ST RIG F AR M
