After riding for several hours we arrived at that place in decidedly starved condition Rented guar ters, and from there to the Reform atory school, where several were surprised to find that the superin tendent, J. F. Mahoney, was an old friend, and he helped to make the visit more pleasant by showing us through every part of the building. This building impressed the entire party as being a decided credit to the territory With our shoes full of sand we sauntered back to the hotel and rested, after which an other feed was in order. We must not forget to mention that we were presented with rose by the man. agement of the tavern.
 Arrived at Douglas at 7 80 o'clock. where we were met by our most worthy sisters and taken to the Queen hotel, where we were received by and introduced to all sister temple members. Spe- cial rates were provided of $4.5O per day. MT. Julius Smith, for merly of Williams. invited the Williams party for a ride to the smelter and across the Mexican border, which was enjoyed by all, and also furnished a most delight ful banquet for our party.
 Now, last, but not least, the final was most elaborate ball given by the K of P. lodge in the auditorium especially for the K. P.'s and Rath bones Much taste was displayed in the manner in which the re treatments were served. A punch bowl adorned the most beautifully illuminated ball room, and I must say that it was more than well patronized by all.
 An excursion was provided for by the K. P.'s to Cananea. The train was met by a brass band and carriages and we had a glorious time generally.
 After the excitement at Cananea the party broke up to meet again at Maricopa, some going to Bisbee and some to Tucson. MT. and Mrs. Dubois, Fred Smith, John Doyle, Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Ida Moore, from Phoenix, visited the San Xavier mission, where MT. Doyle has a sister. The mission is $50 years old. After that they were treated to fine dinner on the flyer be- tween Tucson and Maricopa, where the rest of the happy party awaited them. From there a flying trip was made for home, arriving in Williams on time and somewhat tired from so much excitement. Were met at the train by many of the sisters, who were more than glad to see us return.
 On leaving Douglas MT. D. Bom- berg of Flagstaff. Fred Smith and myself went to Bisbee on a short trip. Went to the Fair and saw my sister, Miss Jennie Baylis, and then to the Copper Queen cafe and had breakfast. We afterwards called at the school building to see Prof Philbrook, formerly of Williams, and enjoyed a luncheon with him and his wife. Later with Mrs. Phil brook 1 attended a musicale given by Prof. Krinbill. also formerly of Williams, at the Woman's club house.

 May 6, l9O6. To the Editor:
 Sunday was the beginning of our most pleasant journey to the grand temple of the Rathbone Sisters. To begin with. the train came into Williams two and half hours late. After travelling on our journey for 23 miles we reached the delightful little city of Ash Fork, where we stopped for time and were very much surprised and delighted to find much change and advance in this most picturesque little burg. A most pleasant hour and a half was spent by our entire party at the home of Mrs Charles Smith. From this most refreshing rest we again took the train at 5:30 for Phoenix, where the following day was spent in most delightful man. ner. The only objection that any one could possibly have had was that of the change from the high altitude to that of the extremely low and warm. In our cases it was source of expense, as very often we stopped and made short call at the ice cream stands and soda water fountains. An invitation was extended to our entire party from Mrs. Hicks. a sister of Mrs. James Kennedy, and all had a fine time. The spread was truly one of the most elaborate ever given in Phoe- nix by any one.
 After this our most pleasant party went to visit the beautiful territorial capital. From this point of grandeur a hasty retreat was made to a nearby cafe, where an other dinner was served, and from there to the train once more.
 After riding nine miles we stopped at the pretty little town of Tempe, and from there to Maricopa, where seven hours were pleasantly spent in a Pullman, at the end of which time the bright headlight of the Southern Pacific gave warning that the expected time had come for our bunch to depart for the village of

IN BUT FOUR WARDS.
City Primary Next Week viii Be
Limited

Next week on Tuesday the Repub-
lican primary for city Offices will be
held in the First, Second, Third and
Fourth wards. Owing to the fact that
there is no contest on in the Fifth and
Sixth wards. the primaries will not be
held there, the candidates having al
ready been declared duly nominated
by the city central committee.
The primaries will be held from /
o clock p. m. until Z O'Clock, the same
as those of last Saturday.
One councilman from each ward
Will be nominated as we'll as a member
of the board of education. Mem bers
to the city central committee will be
nominated, one from each precinct
and one at large from each ward.
According to the reuling of the city
central committee all voters must
show registration prior to March 18,
1906 Registration books will be used
and the primaries will be conducted
along the same lines as a straight
election. By the use Of registration
books and fixing a time limit as to
when registration shall be considered
good it is the hope of the committee
to do away with any repeating q the
polls.
Women are eligible to vote at the
city election and from the way they
are registering at the Office of the cleo
ton commissioner it looks a if a large
woman vote would be cast, especially
in the Third and Fourth wards where
there IS contest on between rival
candidates for the council.
In the Third Councilman VIM. Green
and Major A. NJ. Harvey are opposing
aech other. while in the Fourth ward
pit is a race between Councilman s. s.
Rice and E. Montgomery.
