betake themselves 10 their bcrths in

Prescott at an early hour on Monday

The fare for the round trip IN only
81, which is really % mere bagateIle
considering the distance that il 10 be
covered. and the opportunities that
will be afforded 10 meet all of the bus
mess men along the entire line of the
4. a G. railroad. Two years ago when
the road had been constructed only as
Tar ~ Vicksburg, such nm excursion
was ran from Prescott and everyone
who participated in il was no, only
delighted with the outing but were
pleased with tne opportunity which II
afforded for forming and renewing
pleasant business relations. This "a
cursion on the cath inst. will b. ex
clusively for the citizens Of Prescott
and their families, and il will have no
connection with any similar affair that
has been projected from Phoenix on
another date. Advance tickets are
now being sold. and II. Is. Kohl of the
passenger department will circulate
among the business men today to Sc
cure reservations M IL ~ necessary
that the railroad should know the ex.
tent Of the patronage upon which they
can depend, in order to place their or
der for tourist sleepers from Los An
geles. The company does not caicu-
late to make dollar Of profit out of
this excursion. Their reward will
come in the future from what business
which may b. developed on the new
district, and they are giving the mer'
chants OF Prescott the chance 10 lay
the foundation for future business.
The idea IL meeting with general ap
probation and already a number have
signifed their intention of joining the
excursion. II il certainly an opp0rtuD-
.ty that should not be neglected by
DOR business men, unless they are in
different 10 their own welfare.

penditure Of si0,0O0,0O0 and Colombia
received slO,OOO,0O0. II is to be seen,
therefore, that very large part Of
the expenditures Of the Panama canal
may Ice accredited Ia the business done
by Americans, and while the construc-
lion Of tae big ditch has resulted in n
heavy drain on the national treasury II
has at least kept "A large amount Of
money in circulation throughout the
country.
II is likely that the financial cen
tiers, and especially speculative busi
ness are rather Ringing on the outcome
Of the election. II il also probable
that many of the heavy expenditures
figured on by different corporations
will be postponed until the election re-
turns have been received. so far as
the effect Of the campaign Is consider
ed IL should exert very little pressure
on the financial and commercial con.
ditions Of this country.
