Mr.. Keegan on being approached by
the old timer on The Citizen. and
whom he has known for twenty odd
years, commenced talking about
Globe, and stated that Globe was the
best town in Arizona and the biggest
mining camp in the world"
When Mr.. Keegan was in business
at Gallup, before going to Globe, he
considered Gallup the greatest coal
mining camp in the world" but. al
though yet a great coal camp. the

1t is to be hoped, for the sake of
Globe and vicinity, that Globe will no

MAMMOTH DISPLAY
FROM LUMBER MILLS
Will be One OF the Chief
Features Of Thursdays
Big Trades Parade.
IS GROWING FROM DAY TO DAY

The big trades parade on Thursday
of next week, Albuquerque day. prom
Uses to be the most elaborate thing of
it's kind ever attempted in the west.
The latest entry and probably the
greatest one is the American Lumber
company. Manager S. c. Jackson of
the company, is authority for the
statement that the mills will be rep
resented in the parade by several hun
dred employees and a number of large
floats representing the products of
the mills.
The display, which will he a feature
of the parade, viii give to visitors
some idea of what a great institution
the plant of the company is. The del
egation from the mills will be so large
that it will take up an entire division
of the parade. Mounted on huge
floats drawn by teams of eight, ten
and twelve horses. will be machines
in active operation, representing the
different departments of the mills.
This sight will be novel in the ex-
IRENE.
The announcement that the compa-
ny is to enter the parade has been the
means of arOusing much enthusiasm
for this feature of the fair and as a
consequence many of the leading mer-
chants today made known their inten-
tions of taking part.
