PATRIOTISM RAMP ANT
 IN IRON SPRINGS YOUTH.
No Need of an Almanac to Know of
 the Presence of the Fourth.

Iron Springs, Ariz., July 2.-CSpec- | ial Correspondence of The Republican, 4The face of the small boy wore a : look of delighted expectation when the l Daylight Express pulled in a half hour ! or so late this afternoon. A defening i explosion as the train passed over a 1 line of forty caps explained the req son of his joy and proclaimed the sea- son of the year as clearly as any calen- dar.
 Mrs. Lucinda Bonar left today for Oceola, Iowa.
 Miss Gill of Kirkland and a number of Phoenicians passing through greet
 ed friends on the platform and Mrs. Aaron and Mrs. David Goldberg were the recipients of large bouquets of roses. The station begins to assume it's wonted appearance once more. As the western sun becomes oppressive the coal bunkers or whatever can be found
 on the east side of the depot are util-
 iZed as furniture for a sort of summer
 reception room, where friends may
 meet and chat over the various de-
 lights and vexatiOns of camp life. But
 once the train appears around the
 mountain, Old Sol has no powers to
 keep the denizens of the springs from
 crowding the front platform in al
 way that suggests a town meeting or
 an easy opportunity for taking the
 census. This is especially true of the
 days when excursion trains are due.
 The thermometer yesterday hung in
 the shade but in a somewhat exposed
 position, registered 93 degrees. How
 ever, when anyone here begins to be
 sensible of the suns heat rays he or
 she has only to exclaim: "Oh how ter
 rible it must be in the valley!" and
 immediately the cold shivers run down
 his or her back at the mere mention of
 anything so dreadful.
 Several Iron Springs residents will
 take the train tomorrow morning for
 Flagstaff to attend the biennial high
 court of the I. O. F. of Arizona.
 Mrs. F. F.. Patton goes as delegate
 from Floral Lodge No. 293. Mrs. L. w
 Collins as high court officer from the
 same lodge. L. w. Collins as delegate
 from Hassayampa Lodge No. 1918. These names remind me that we
 have good families at the springs,
 whose patronymics are likely to get a
 little mixed sometimes. l.. w. Cog
 gins. the new mayor, L. w. Collins. mentioned above, and F.. T. Ceilings,
 who is occupying the H. H. McNeiI cottage, with whom Mrs. H. H. Brax-
 ton is spending the summer
 MT. Randy, high secretary of the
 Hassayampa is expected to spend a day at the springs and go through on
 tomorrow evenings train with Dr.
 John W. Foss, high chief ranger and
 Delegates C.. R. Price and R. L. Com fort. A delightful trip is anticipated The number of copies of The Repub- lican coming into camp daily is twen ty. Practically everyone here reads this wide awake journal or has ordered it. The first session of the Sunday school was well attended, forty-two| children and older folks being pres ent. Miss Rema Doris took the piano and Rev Orville Coats and others led in the singing. Mir. w. H. Robinson
 was elected superintendent; Dr. Mary | Neff, assistant and Melville Fickas, secretary and treasurer. The names of the permanent teachers will be an nounced in our next letter.
 Miss Hazel Golding expects soon to hold q dancing class in the pavilion.
 Mrs. Bowers class meets this after noon.
 Some Iron Springs ladies with good practical turn of mind, who are mourn ing the departure of the carpenters, while their husbands are still absent and doors are yet to be hung. etc, have decided that what one needs here | is not so many literary clubs. but woman's cooperative carpentry asso- citation (W. c. C. Al There will be no rigid examinations for entrance and the members will be allowed to ham mer any kind of nails they choose spikes finishing nails or finger nails Speaking of literary clubs, the so- ciety that could furnish a set pro- gram surpassing in interest anr or iginality, the tales of life in the west in the early seventies with which O.
 H. Christy sometimes beguiles a select
 audience between trains would be de-
 serving of national recognition. But even an old settler may have limita- tions as was proved this afternoon
