Communicated )

Nols bs IT. " llSNu iuH EiNth tiS
 appointment to the Naval Academy
 to B. F. Burke of Prescott. The ap-
 pointment was made before the appli-
 cation of the Gila county boys was
 received, and t is to be regretted that
 notice of the vacancy was not given
 earlier. However, in case Mir. Burke
 should not be able to qualify Colonel
 Wilson writes that he will give the
 preference in the appointment of his
 successor to Gla county.
 Preparations are going steadily for
 ward for the commencement exercises
 next week and everything seems 10
 indicate that it will be an interesting
 occasion. Mrs. Shute Mrs. COOmbs,
 and the teachers are carefully training
 the pupils for their respective parts
 and much of the success of the enter
 tainment will be due entirely to their
 efforts. Reserved seats for the com.
 mencement entertainment will be on sale next Monday at the Postofilce
 news stand.
 Arrangements for the excursion to
 Fort Thomas and Indian Hot Springs
 on Sunday, April l9, are about com.
 pleted aud present indications are
 chat between three and four hundred
 people will avail themselves of this
 splendid opportunity of an enjoyable
 outing. The trip can be made for the
 extremely low rate of $l.7j, and this
 includes the transfers both ways from
 the railroad crossing to Hot Springs.
 The usual charges for this trip are
 S7.6O for railroad fare and $2 co for
 hack fares, making total of $9 60.
 Round trip tickets win be sold to
 school children at the rate of ninety
 cents each. Teddy Dawkius will accompany the excursion train and
 will minister to the wants of the
 hungry and the thirsty. Breakfast and lunch may be had on the train l while on route by all who desire such service Mir. Dawkius' previous repu- tation as a caterer is a sufficient guar antee of the excellence of this arrangement. The management of the Hot Springs hotel have prepared an elaborate program of amusementS for the occasion and the day will doubtlessly be one long to be remem- bered. One of the most interesting events of the day will be an exciting game of water polo which will prob ably be the first of the kind ever seen in this part of the territory. The Stars and the CrescentS alsl promise a very interesting game of basket ball, and the Teddys and the Tigers will even the score with a warm game of foot ball. Base ball, tennis and ping pong games have also been ar ranged. The Globe Concert band will probably be on hand and will occasionally favor the crowd with one of their popular selections. However, dancing will not be part of the program as announced in the posters and circulars. This was put down in the original copy as part of the program for Saturday, and when the date was changed to Sunday, through | an oversight this tenn was not stricken out and it is to be hoped that this explanation will be satisfactory 10 those who objected to that feature. For the amusement Of the children | the usual school games of jumping the rope, prisoners base, and others of like character will be provided.
 After the game of water polo the swimming pool will be open for the | use Cf the public, but owing to the limited number of bathing suits on hand it is recommended bhat all who | expect to take plunge carry their bathing suits with them. It is also recommended that all families make preparation to have basket dinner out those who prefer to do so may take meals at the hotel by giving notice in advance of their desires. Booths will also be on the grounds where fruit, candy, and temperance drinks may be bought. No intoxi- eating liquors of any kind will be either on the train or on the grounds at the Springs
 Tickets will be on sale at Williams grocery store in North Globe and also at the PoStoflice news stand, Roberts, drug store, Brookner's dry goods store, Keegan's saloon, and the Globe COmme rcial company, and it is hoped that all will buy tickets on or before so that there will be no delay in starting Sunday morning.
 The train will leave Williams grocery store, North Globe, Sunday morning at 6:30 for the aCcOmmoda. tion of families living in that part of Globe, and it will leave the regular station in South Globe a few minutes later. The signal given will be three long whistles.
