Society

In one and one-half hours time
slxty-flve local and visiting Arlzonens
organized themselves into the society
to be known in the future as the Has
sayampa," elected officers, arranged
for a monster celebration next satur-
day. August II, and adjourned.
From the opening Of the meeting by
the elected president, c. M Shannon,
the meeting was surcharged with en-
thusiasm. Rapid fire action was taken
on all subjects.
The bubbling spirits rampant from
the beginning was similar to that OF
the business meetings" called by the
sheriffs In Arizona to organize posses
to hang cattle rustlers.
Bully for the 'Hassayampa club"
said one of the sixty-five the instant
the name was suggested.
Thereupon the name Immediately was
chosen unanimously as the only one
with enough dignity and patriotism
about 1t to represent the pledges of
brotherhood that were made in the Hol-
lenbeck parlor yesterday afternoon.
OF Fond Remembrance
The name of the organization owes Its
origin to the famous gold-lined river in
Arizona. Many of the men who became
united under the one head yesterday
afternoon slept and ate beside one an
other on the banks of the Hassayampa
in the pioneer days of Arizona. Many
of them herded cattle together to the
banks of the Hassayampa to drink of
| its refreshing waters, and many of them
| found their fortunes together in the val
| ley of the Hassayampa.
What will happen to the little beach
town that will be selected for grand
i ~. NAN,
only be predicted. AS yet, 1t is only
known that a monster parade will be
held and that much time will be spent
basking in the sands and bathing in
the surf.
Although fireworks have been pro-
hibited, it is said there will be plenty
of pyrotechnics to keep the interest and
enthusiasm at high temperature all
day and until a private train will carry
them back to the City of Angels.
"Wet" Town Preferred
Immediately following the organiza-
ton of the club the Pacific Electric
and the Salt Lake railroad companies
had deputies who were there to invite
the members of the Hassayampa to
make their pleasure trip over the roads
represented.
No definite action was taken in regard
to the road to be used in reaching the
pleasure point. The Salt Lake repre-
sentative, A. R. Pennfield, urged that
no more delightful place could be Sc
lected than Long Beach, as the surf
there was recognized to lie the safest
in Southern California
"Yes, but we don't want to take too
many chances on a prohibition town,
said one Of the Arizonans. "You know
4 we're from Arizona
Don't let that worry you" said w

Electric lines. "Just get copy of last
Sundays papers and you may read how
easy it really is to avoid prohibition
stunts" Lavish applause followed.

the members of that committee will

| When members were named on vari-
Gus committees there was no chance
for them to avoid service on just that
committee. 1t was a case of "you
serve, that's ALL" And the appointees
at once began to serve.
| When the appointment of members of
| the ways and means committee came
up before President Shannon, the latter
Immediately pounced upon w. L.

"Yes, but" resumed Mr.. McNally.

on the table as a starter. Before the
