A PRESCOTT vISITOR@D. H. Biles of the Biles Lockhart Clothing Co. of Prescott, was a Phoenix visitor yesterday.
 A CANYON vISITOR-J. H. Elem ing of the Fl Tovar hotel staff at the Grand Canyon is a Phoenix visitor for a couple of days. Mir. Fleming is manager of transportation and has charge of the hundred horses and mules kept in connection with the ho- tel for the convenience of guests who want to take horseback and carriage trips to points of interest in the vi- cinity. His business here is partly a personal visit to w. E. Deity. an old friend. and partly to look into the matter of feed for his stock. A great deal of it is required in year and if it can be secured as cheaply here as in California Mir. Fleming would rath- Ter buy it in Arizona.
 NEW CITY DIRECTORY-Th Phoenix Directory company has been organized for the purpose of publish ing a new directory of the city. The company is headed by w. H. Teasley. a well known local business man. and
  who will do a large part of the out side work. Mir. Michael is experienced in advertising and directory work, so it will not be a new line for him. The company has been figuring for month in it's preliminary arrange ments and is already engaged in the gathering of data for the directory and the soliciting of advertising. Of the need of a new city directory there can be no doubt and no contrary argu- ment will be presented in any quarter The last 'one, prepared for the. years l905-6, has become so obsolete that it gives the wrong information almost as frequently as the right information. The one to be prepared now will be strictly up to date. MT. Michael comes here from Fairmont, West Virginia and expects to make Phoenix his home permanently. though he is now among the more recent arrivals. Mir Teasley. however, with whom he is as- sociated, has been a resident of Phoe- nix for many years and is we'll known lin business circles and he proposes to give this project a great deal of his personal attention
 A. w. lAuTZ HOME-A. w. Lautz. secretary of the territorial board of equalization. returned home yesterday from a months visit in the east. He went first to Hot Springs, Ark. where he stopped for a few days, or until his curiosity was satisfied concerning that famous resort. and from there went to his former home in Pekin, III. He insists that while that city was named after Pekin, China, it was not settled by Chinese but by lot of the right kind of people. among whom were number who may now proudly boast that they are, or were. his an- cestors. It is one of the towns where there was an effort made to give wo- men a chance in it's early history, and to them was given the honor of nam ing the village and naming the streets. They named it Pekin because that is called the celestial city and it was the purpose of the Pekinites to make the new town as near celestial as pos sible; anyhow, nearer to it than Pe- kin, China. And down in that coun- try they think they have succeeded. The nomenclature of the streets i'm mortaliZes the given names of the pioneer danes, such as Ann-EliZa, Patience, Susanah, Cynthiana, etc They serve the purpose albright but the names seem a bit novel these days and the progressive ladies would pre- fer to have them changed to Edythe, Maie, Katharyne. Rosalyn. Marguerite, etc. From Pekin he went to Milwau- kee to visit his father and was dis gusted to think he could get nothing to drink in the city but soda water few days were spent in Chicago and he demonstrated tkat he had had good time by returning home on a clearing house basis. He says finan- cial matters are improving in that section and the banks threaten to re- turn to cash payments very soon. When he left here The Republican gave him permission to get married and the Pekin papers added their con- sent, but MT. Lautz found that it takes beside a newspaper pull to ,..sE
