begun. IL presents line OF excursion
attractions that discounts either a
fire sale or a "spotless sale" 1t is
going to make travelling so attractive
people can't stand it to stay at home
when they see the wheels going round,
The next one on the list will be an
excursion to Prescott and that in the
face of the Prescott threat that IL
would never play in the Phoenix back
yard again. Nevertheless the Prescott
people are getting over their BRAIN
storm hallucinatiOn and have extended
the glad hand to even the Phoenix
baseball team which is invited to play
another game in Prescott on the 9Th Of
June. It is probable this game cannot
be arranged but not because Phoenix
holds any grudge against Prescott and
only because the Phoenix ball team
has its date card pretty we'll filled up
and may not be able to make a Pres
colt engagement so soon.
However the excursion will be run
to cover that date anyway and il the
Phoenix team cannot take advantage
of it it is likely the Mesa City team
will do so. The Mesa boys are a like
ly lot of ball players and ought to give
the mountaineers enough to interest
them. But there are other people in
the world beside baseball fans and this
excursion will be run regardless. base
ball being only an incident. The round
trip will be as usual. $3.50 and the rail-
road and most of the Prescott people
at least guarantee the visitors a good
time The rate will apply on the Dia-
mond 10 train leaving Saturday night
June and on the Daylight Express
leaving Sunday morning June 9Th.

4 O'Clock on a day train. Should the
traveller prefer he can leave here the
next morning on the day train and at
Williams he can secure a sleeper on

here in the afternoon and connecting
with the limited trains at Ash Fork.
The Iron Springs colony will also be
a feature for many as usual and spe-
cial rates have been arranged for that
settlement. There has been some
change in them that need explaining.
This is primarily a family resort.
Heretofore special trip tickets were is
sued TO heads Of families who wanted
10 go up to the springs frequently to
spend Sunday with the home folks.
These rates though were only for the
aforesaid heads of families. This year
