last night. She was accompanied by a

She wrote one letter which did not
seem to suit her. and destroyed it. Then
she wrote another letter. probably the

stated, when she left the hotel with her
male companion. The letter must have
been mailed shortly after she left the

Lord Northcliffe dwelt on Canada s
growth and independence, and contrasted
it with a feeling of pessimism of some
years ago, when he visited this country.
"Pessism because Of the attitude and
power OF the gigantic republic to the
south, a feeling that il would be cheaper
and safer to knuckle under than stand
up face to face" This Lord Northcliffe
claimed was not Canada's attitude and
he then dwelt on the great growth in her
independence of spirit of late years. Re-

A Few Things the President Wn See
 in Arizona.

At Yuma Mir. Taft will see a great Irrigation proj -ct and a splendid farm = ing community, 8 big river that can be made navigable for ocean steamers at a small cost, and one of the fastest growing towns in the west. At Tempe he will see a vast 6esert reclaimed and transformed into fields of alfalfa and the best Normal school in the west At Phoenix he will see the garden spot of A merica, city of beautiful homes and stately buildings. a great community, throbbing with activity. commercial importance and the center 5000 school children and the largest educational center of the territory; here he will see the largest system of irrigating canals in the west, and the biggest reservoir in America; here he will have an opportunity to drive along the most beautiful driveways in the west and study all the possibilities of irrigation and a reclamation policy. And Arizona need not be ashamed of anything that he will see here. We can show him enough to make him think that Phoenix is the smallest part of Arizona and that the rest of Arizona is on a grander and greater scale.
 At Prescott and along the railroad from Phoenix to Prescott he will see rugged mountains, it is true; but he will see mountains rich in gold, silver and copper. and will be made to un- derstand that they pour out a constant stream of wealth. And along the main line he will see sawmilIs and forests, greater than the forests of Maine. which support 75O.OO0 people. Arizona Democrat.
