Tucson Man Returns from the East and Tells What He
 Saw and Heard.
NEED OF TERRITORY
 IS MORE ADVERTISING.
People of the East Are Be- ginning to Sit Pp and Take Notice and Business Men Are With Arizona.
(Tucson Citizen.)

Hon Charles H. Bayless, president of the Chamber of Commerce. return ed to Tucson last evening after a five weeks business trip in the East. He visited the States of Minnesota, Kan saS and Pennsylvania and the cities of New York. Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago, and Minneapolis.
 I was mighty well pleased to get back to the old pueblo even if the thermometer does register in the vii cinity of 100 in the shade" remarked MT. Bayless today. People. may look at the thermometer here and then e me to the conclusion that it is hot but these same people should take q trip to the old homes in the East. l was in Chicago when heat wave struck that city. It was fearfulIy op- plessive and although the thermom- ,ter showed only 90, it was the warm est and most oppressive weather I ever experienced and 1 have seen the thermometer go respectable number of degrees above 100 in Arizona. I am coming to the belief that tnermome- terS do not tell the whoIe tale for while they register higher here in sum- mer time than in the East 1 am fully convinced from personal experience that there is more real heat suffering in the east than in AriZorI. And the nights there, why it is almost impos- s!ble to keep cool there at night unless you sleep under an electric fan and run the fisk of contracting pneumo. nia"
 That the people back in the States are beginning to sit up and take some notice of Arizona was one of the things that MT. Bayless learned from a num- Der of conversations which he had with people from the Mississippi east to the Atlantic. It is true their ideas are rather vague but not nearly so much SO as they were several years ago. The impression that Arizona is the land of artilleried men, Nr Bay less found, is gradually dying out and instead the correct impression is being formed that Arizona is a country of wonderful natural resources.
 Tucson might be better adver- tised.' remarked MT. Bayless. There is no getting around the fact that ad- vertising a town is a wonderful help. Fasteners seemed surprised when I told them that Tucson is the metrop- olis of the Territory and city of IT, coo a town, also of substantial brick, business buildings with good resi- dences, with electric lights, water sys- tenn and an electric street car line. I found only two persons who had been here who rather regretted the passing of the old mule cars. They said that they knew when they were troubled with ennui they could come to Tucson and drive dull care away by simply gazing at the odd looking cars and power and have a good laugh. Phoenix seemed to be the best adyer- tised town in the Territory although the general impression was that all of the Territorial towns were rather small, this undoubtedly being formed from the census reports of six years ago"
 Regarding the Statehood situatiou MT. Bayless found that the general sentiment without exception among the business men in the East is that Arizona should be allowed to work out her own destinies. Naturally they do not take so keen an interest as the people in the Southwest but out side of the politicians there are very few people who would sanction the yoking of Arizona to New Mexico. The rank and file are not of the kind who are willing to see a growing Territo- " have it's hopes and ambitions blast, cd for mere party ends. I found that the business men listened with eager ness when I told them of Arizona s reasons for not desiring to bs swa!- lowed up by New Mexico and not a single business man remarked We were wrong. One man expressed the gen eral sentiment of the business men of the east, as I found it, when he said
 I do not approve of any policy that forces any body of Americans into disagreeable union"
 MT. Bayless stated that he found general prosperity through the east,
 In the cities large buildings and fine residences are being constructed, the
 crops look geod in the rural districts in the States which he visited and | there seems to be general prosperity
