Editorial Correspondence.1 ,

have just visited the Arizona building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. From the accounts had read in some of the Arizona papers prior to my departure from the terrto- ", expected to be sadly disappoint- ed. if not ashamed of the structure. On the contrary, I was agreeably sur prised, not as to the size of the build ing. for 1t is truly small, but for con venience and comfort is all that is necessary, and the economy and good taste displayed by the commissioners is deserving of commendation, instead of abuse, that has been heaped upon them in some quarters.
 The Arizona building is not an ex- hibit al the Fair. and was never in- tended as such. It is a home for visiting Arizonans: a place to meet mutual friends and rest. and is presid- ed over in a hospi;able manner by Miss Jessie Louise Davis, of Prescott, as hostess. The building. complete, consisting of seven rooms, cost the commissioners in the neighborhood of S4.000. and is furnished neatly and cos
 
 of the commissioners was not to spend the entire appropriation. which in the beginning was only s30,000, on an Arizona building. but to erect a mod est. substantial building % serve as headquarters for Arizona people, and to expend the major portion of the ap- propriation in displaying Arizona's resources in the several exhibit build ings. and in this they have succeeded admirably. In the Agricultural, Horti- cultural, Education and Mining build inSs. Arizona is well represented. and especially the mining space has been used to great advantage.
 The Arizona building is situated in cno.ce location, and is the first build ing on the right of Market Street and Laclede car entrance. 1t is a one story affair. after the mission style. with front porch, a main hall or lob by. and seven rooms. A reception room for the ladies, gentlemen's recep. ton room, smoking and buffet room. commissioners room. ard two living rooms.
 At present the building is occupied by Miss Davis, of Prescott, and Mrs. John A. Black, of Tucson. These la dies take delight in entertaining all callers. and the register shows that there has been no dearth of visitors. The building was informally opened on May 3Oth. Arizona visitors, so far. have been scarce, and Arizona day at the Fair has been set down for Sep tember 18th, at which time Governor Brodie and staff are expected to be present.
 Bob Leatherwood and H. A. Do- ran. two of the Arizona commissioner. are here, and are very busy men. They are still engaged in arranging ana adding to the several exhibits, but have about completed their efforts in this direction.
 Almost every visitor to the Arizona building enquiries for photographs of the Grand Canyon, and several large panorama views would find place in the building If furnished. Across the street from the Arizona building is the Mississippi and Indian Territory buildings. the Minnesota building ad 1oins Arizona. and at the head of the column is the Missouri building. erect ed at a cost of s100,0OO, and the most magnificent state building erected.
 The walls of the Arizona building are adorned with panorama views of the principal cities, and Gov. Brodie. In Rough Rider dress. occupies
