lautomobile party was preparing to leave for the ride over the city, MT. Hartman asked that he be allowed
 a seat in an open auto. He said he
 could see more and better enjoy the
 air
 When asked if there was any truth
 in the published story that his
 daughter, Mary, was soon to be mar
 ried to MT. Robert Walton Goelet,
 the Illinois Central director who was for several days a member of the party, but since returned east, MT.
 Hartman said: Most of the talking about such matters as that is done
 by the other end of the family" As a parting question the finan-
 cial giant was asked if he would not like to go with Roosevelt on the lat ter's hunt to Africa. With evident memory of the wordy war of two | years ago, MT. Hartman replied with a smile, Yes, I would enjoy | trip to Africa, but I believe I would much prefer to choose my company on such a trip. However, l am not afraid to stay in the United States" The arrangements had been made for a ride over the city and a part of the valley, and the railroad king, with others, boarded automobiles and were whisked away. In all, they were riding about an hour and the Indian school and the country between here and Glendale was paid a visit On returning to the city the members of
 the party, with the exception of the ladies. left the autos up town and
 walked through the business section
 and later to the depot.
 At the depot, MT. Hartman was
 met by Messrs. B. A. Fowler. Vernon
 Clark. Dwight B. Heard and L. H.
 Chalmers and was introduced by Colonel Randolph They shortly aft erward repaired to MT. Harriman's car. where they were told of the plans of the Southern Pacific in con- nection with the construction of the connecting link. between Winkleman and the Globe feeder.
 Tt costs lots of money to com plete that work" said MT. Harri- man, but it was not our fault that We stopped when we did. The courts were responsible. Now the courts have said that We can go ahead and We will. When the Roosevelt dam is completed We will have -" and here MT Hartman checked himself. l 'I won't finish that sentence he said. because do not want to make a promise that might not be kept | I'll say this however, I think we will | move as fast as the government. i I would like to take a shower bath | in the first water that comes over the | Roosevelt dam
 After thanking MT. Hartman for | the information which means so much to Phoenix. the conversation of | the Phoenix gentlemen turned to the | possibility of Mir Hartman, at some 1 time paying this point a visit of several days duration. The railroad man said he would enjoy nothing better, but his vacation time was in the hands of his children to decide where it should be spent. Before the party left the car, Mir. Hartman ,hatted with NIT. Fowler concerning irrigation affairs and recalled an in- ,ident at the Sacramento congress, q dispute between Mir. Hartman and MT. Chamberlain since chosen sena- tor from the state of Washington.
 chamberlain has gotten so big since then that he probably has for gotten us little fellows. rOwler,' is the way Hartman put it. They are kicking for some roads up in oregon the same as you gentlemen are and I don't know of any place in the world where they can do more kicking than they can in Ore yon." Mir Heard and Mir. Chalmers at once corrected the statement. They wanted it made plain that no section of the country was "kicking' more for anything than Phoenix and .his locality for the completion of the road from Winkleman east.
 Colonel Randolph, when asked for m explanation of the presence of the ls survey party in the vicinity of Win zleman, said it was there for the purpose of revising the old line. This ne said is frequently done before begins. As to the date actual construction would begin and whether there would be any change n the line from that at first pro- posed, Mir. Randolph had nothing at his time for publication.
 After a stay in the city of about hree hours, the party left for the ,outh Last night was spent at Gila Bend and this afternoon the visitors will be at Yuma or Imperial Valley Ultimately. of course, the party will each San Francisco, but when is lot known. The itinerary is made ID subject to revision every day.
 The train occupied by Mir. Harri- nan and party, is one of the finest yer in Phoenix. It consists of the Arden" Mir Harriman's private car, he Ninety Nine" which is occu- lied as a reception car by Mrs. Hartman and her guests, the Iowa he private car of MT. and Mrs. Robert Goelet, who are with the .artv. the "Pocahontas," the private ar of Colonel Randolph, who is ac- ompanied by pr. Goodfellow, and he "Guadalupe" the private car of ulius Kruttschnitt of the Southern ,acific official directory, who is ac- ompanied by his wife, daughter nd three guests.
