ficials though are doing everything they can to put things in order and the exhibits are being rushed in rap idly though very few of them are yet complete.
 The Pimas and Maricopas were very much interested, MT. Murphy said, in the irrigated areas of western Kansas through which they passed. They no- ted, however, that irrigation there seems to be less scientific then here. Where they irrigate at all they flood instead of making borders and irrigat- ing certain lands economically and systematically. But what interested them more than anything else was to see miles of crops growing without i- rigation. They had never hear dof such a thing and marveled much at the broad acres of grain where there wasn't a ditch in sight. At St. Louis the Arizona Indians seemed to be too full fer utterance. Instead of bubbling over with adjectives expressive of their surprise as q white man might have done, they simply looked around them, awed by the grandeur of the scene. It had never occurred to them before that there were so many white people CT such bis buildings in the world. There was SO much to see they refused to get excited about anything and just lived from one hour to the next, taking ev- CTything that occurred as a matter of course. They refused to miN a e deal with the Indians from other parts and were rather proud of the Iact that they wore clothes like the white folks while the Indians from the northwest and elsewhere were attired in their native blankets and ether apparel. The Arizona Indians are aIso the only ones at the fair yet who live in houses The others all live in tents. This with the single exception of the Pawnees who live in sod houses. The Arizona contingent was temporarily housed in

the model school building and will shortly have their wickiups finished. In this architecture they will enjoy q little touch of high life as they will have floors in their wickiups, some thing they never dream of here but necessary there by reason of the ground being so wet and the weather cold. The Indians from the northwest would stand around and watch the Pimas with great curiosity, neither tribe seeming to be at all infatuated with the other. In the matter of be- havior the Arizona Indians were ex- emplary and don't need half so much watching as do their white brethren who visit the fair. It was to be ex- pected that the excitement of The Pike, would appeal to the Pimas and Mari copas at once as a cowboy tournament In it's most splendiferous conception, but on the contrary they declined Murphy's invitation to tour the Pike with him and at the time he left that part of the big show was to them still terra inccgnita.
 The Indian exhibit at the fair will be a splendid one said MT. Murphy and one of the best exhibits on the SlOOiAQS VIII nS lllS lllOucl SCIASOl WHICH will be under the direction of Superin- tendent and Mrs. s. M. McCowan, for merly of the Phoenix Indian school. They are working day and night and have been for weeks but cannot open the school before the first of June. The Pima class from Sacaton were the first children for the model school that had arrived. before MT. Murphy left. There will be nothing else on the grounds of the nature of this model school and the United States alone, said MT. Murphy, is making a showing of work being done for the civilization of savage peo- pies. MT. Murphy was particularly in terested ih the educational exhibits of the various countries some of which are revelation and he was especially impressed with the German education- al exhibit.
