Among the soloists will be MT. Mac kenzie Gordon who has already ap- peared several times in Phoenix and who needs no further recommendation.

There are few who can avai, them selves of this opportunity to hear him, who will fail to do so.

There wos a steady stream of callers yesterday and it would ap~ | pear from the aviditv with which the | seeds were sought, that this valley would be planted entirely to flowers | this year if the people can get the l seeds. The agricultural department is
 hereby notified that next year Phoenix
 wants 2 carload of flower seed.
