A TEN WEEKS TOUR
 IN THE EFftTE EAST
Gus NolI Had the Time Of His Life and
 Saw and Heard a Lot of Things.

Gus Noll returned home yesterday morning after tour of two and half months during which he did everything an honorable and well ordered young man could do and retain his self re-
 spect, visited every important place
 on the map of the summer tourist and had as much fun as one man could crowd into that length of time and get any sleep at all. The skeleton of his itinerary was Chicago, Sheboygan,
 Wis, and the lake region adjacent Sault Ste. Marie, Georgian Bay, down the St Lawrence through the ThOus and Islands. Toronto and Prescott, Canada, Odgensburg and Lake Placid, N. Y. the AdirOndacks, then back to Chicago and home via Flagstaff where he stopped for a few days. A few de-
 tails of the trip were divulged to Republican reporter, just enough to demonstrate that he had a good time. but the great volume of facts. incl dents. and pleasurable experiences of which he possessed himself, have been placed in mental storage and will be leaking out one at a time through the rest of his natural life, unless in some evil moment he decides to write a book and tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
 MT NoT left here a democrat. Ar irving in Chicago he donned the Taft smile. served the republican national convention as an assistant sergeant at arms drifted into Wisconsin and as dead game sport won the championship with the rod and reel, played well the part of a tourist along the river and lake system, became impregnated with prohibition in Illinois and Ohio, revert ed to old time democracy in Indiana. did life after the manner of the best of them in the Adirondacks, and as a true Arizonian, after his sojOurn in Flagstaff pronounced that climate the best brand for summer use. that he
 encountered in all his travels. He found a populous Phoenix colony there which he says ought to be three times as large and will be another year If the Flagstaff people get busy. The only criticism he had to offer was the table accommodations offered by Flag staff. He kicked on the grub and says everybody else was doing the same thing. but when Flag gets wise to the vagaries of the tourist stomach she will have made her fortune. No tray eler can be happy unless he gets things to eat. But returning to MT. Noll. he arrives home very much disturbed in his partisan prejudices, short on poli- tics, long on religion and with but one settled conviction which is that the Salt river valley is the brightest jewel in the whole terrestrial diadem, not withstanding it is still uncut and un- polished. But the lapidaries of capital are soon to model it's roughness into incomparable brilliance to be everlast- ingly perpetuated.
 Much of Mir. NolTs time was spent as the guest of his uncle. A. Palmer of Topeka, Kansas, both in the Kansas home and in MT. Zalmer's summer home at Crab Creek, Wisconsin. While visiting in Topeka he also met at the home Of his uncle MT. Gossard, formerly attorney gen. eral of Kansas. As the result of his work he entertains a well grounded hope that both gentlemen will be out here next winter to invest possibly $10,000 each and watch it grow. Speaking of Phoenix and the valley, MT Noll says the people back east are beginning to shake off their and most of them have been looking at the map and have found Phoenix, though they have yet a very imperfect conception of how the Garden of Eden looks since its Everybody has heard of the Roosevelt dam and most of
