AR|zONA'S FLOAT WILL
 BE FINEST IN SHOW
It Will Be a Huge and Picturesque Display of Fruits and Minerals.


 It is the definite intention of the Arizona lodges of the EIks to make the float from this territory the very finest in the whole procession at the annual celebration at Los Angeles next summer. From the preliminary designs it would be difficult to con ceive how any other organization will be able to get ahead of the Arizona lodges.
 The general design of the float is meant to represent the industries of the territory The design was drawn by Leighton G. Knipe. At each corner of the float is a huge elk. In, the center is a basket which will contain many tons of fruits from Arizona. The basket will be bound with cop per and the handle will be furnished copper The sides of the basket will be made of mineral specimens from the many different mines of Arizona. Many of these specimens were col lected by Pat Rose of Globe. They are now being sent to Los Angeles by Eliot Evans and L. c. Knipe, who are members of the committee which has this matter in charge These speciments are among the most beau tiful and most picturesque that could be obtained. They are in general of a blueish green tint very much like topaz. They will be inlaid in the soft plaster of Paris sides of the basket. At the base will be placques representing the different industries of Arizona such as ostriches, timber sugar, the reclamation service, etc.
 The general design of the float will be used for the cover of booklet which will be distributed to promote the advertisement of the valley Twenty thousand copies of this book will be printed and about seven and a half pages will be devoted to Phoe- nix It will contain about 100 pages and the officers of all the lodges in the territory will have their photo graphs reproduced in it.

PRESIDENT HAS
SOME FOLLOWERS
Party of Tourists Are Travelling
Over the Presidents
Route.

More than twenty tourists are follow
ing President Taft about the country Just
for the sake of seeing the ovatious ten
dered him and the big crowds They
cannot ride on the special train, but
they take either the train preceding or
the one following. Most of them who
came to Salt Lake went out on the train
ahead of the President. OF course they
miss the small stops, but they see the
receptions i'm all the big ciIies
When they first started out they were
regarded with some suspicion Secret
service men qUic6ly noticed they were
TO be seen in all the big cities where the
President stopped. In Denver four of the
tourists were just leaving the Union de-
pot and were under the Welcome" arch
when secret service men. backed up by
some of Chief of Police Armstrong men.
told one of the tourists that he was sus-
pected Of being a piCkpocket and his com
panions were believed to be members OF
his mob
The eager slsJths were taken aback
when each man in the party identified
himself, showing he was a man of much
Importance in his own community. Then
they explained TO the abashed sleUths
that they were such enthusiastic admir-
ers Of the President that they intended
to accompany him on the entire trip.

PEOPLE FOLLOW BIG BAND
Thousands Walk in Wake Of Music
and Give Main Street Holiday
ApDearance.

People attracted from their homes yes
terday by the various features Of the
program in honor of President William
II. Taft found the weather SO pleasant
that they were loath to return. When
the Presidents review of the Living Flag
at A and Brigham streets was ended a
timely incident happened to relieve the
terrible congestion at that point caused
by the thousands Of people crOwding for
ward with the idea of getting closer
view of the President.
The band. made up of local union mu-
scians, lined up and started down South
Temple street all the while playing stir
ring music. A great proportion of the
crowd. cnthused like children by the en-
livenng music, followed the band TO the
intersection of Main and South Temple
streets, and thence down Main street
Hundreds dropped out along the way as
the band proceeded and the result was
that the streets were lined as with a
holiday crowd for some time after the eN-
eTcises were over.
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-09-27

it was apparent that the President was
deeply moved by this splendid example OF
patriotism and devotion. There was no
semblance of the stern executive in the
face of the President. His cOuntenance
as he witnessed the spectacle was that
of a kind father illumined with pride
i'm the sterling devotion of his little ones.
When the song was finished United
States Marshal James II. Anderson pre-
scented D. II. Christensen, superintendent
of the Salt Lake public schools, to the
President. Mr.. Taft was warm in his
cOngratulatiOn of Mr.. Christensen on the
showing made by the school children.
Proceeding down the street from the
Living Flag the President moved through
double line of pupils of the High school
and the university. The youngsters of the
High school and the university yelled
themselves hOarse, alternating the Yale
yell with those of the High school and
the university.
After Taft had completed the review
the great crowd that assembled marched
down town behind the consolidated bands.
Preceding the band were the automobiles
Of the others of the Presidents party, in
Guiding Mayor BTansford Secretary of
the Interior r. A. BaTingeT and those
prominent in the entertainment Of the
President.
The review of the school children was
witnessed by 10000 people. The immense
crowd was handled well by a score OF
policemen under the personal direction OF
chief Of Police s. NJ. Barlow.

Taft's Visit.

Butte, Sept. 26-The labor controversy
in this city cannot possibly have any eff
feet on the proposed visit of President
Taft. The differences Of the two unions
have practically been adjusted and, bar
ring Unforeseen complications. the men

The crowds of idle men about the
streets during the day were quiet and
orderly. every one seeming loath to do
anything which might in the least mar

On an elevated stand to the right of the

teen stripes, alternately red and white;
forty-six stars ON a field of blUe-this

in red, white or blue, all radiating happi-

its most significant emblem.
From each unit Of the great flag there
came the stirring Yale yell as the Presi-
dents automobile approached. The voices
Of the sons of Eli were perhaps at times
much more husky than those of the little
tots who emUlated their yell but at no
time was the yell given with greater vim
and spirit than by the youngsters who
formed the great Living Flag.

and so expressed himself to his friends.
For ten minutes the Presidents car
was stopped before the flag. and for ten
minutes the President listened to The

At the close of the service, about 1l:45
a. m, President Taft went forward and
met the young preacher, shaking hands
and expressing his thanks for the sermon,
afterwards shaking hands with Colonel
Walter s. Scott, COmmandant at Fort
Douglas, and other guests. There was a
movement on the part Of others in the
congregation to get an opportunity to
shake the hand Of the President, but
the secret service attendants prevented
most Of them from obtaining the coveted
privilege, although one or two in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the distinguished
guest succeeded in grasping his hand.
The last of these was an aged woman,
whose hand was extended as the Presi-
dents personal bodyguaTd took his place
at the side, but President Taft stopped
long enough to grasp her hand.
A WeII-FiIed Church.
The review of the school children in
South Temple street attracted the crowds
to that neighbOrhOOd, but the church had
begun to fill at 10 o'clock, and a quarter
of an hour before the time set for the
service standing room was a a premium.
Among those to arrive prior to the coming
OF the Presidents party were Colonel
Scott and several other guests, who took
their seats in the front of the church, at
the left Of the pulpit. Three rows OF
chairs, in the center of the church at the
front, had been reserved for the preSl-
Dental party. AS the signal was given
that the President had arrived. the con-
gregation arose, and the President &C
cOmpanied by Captain Archibald ". Butt
and other attendants. was escorted to his
seat. Governor William Spry came for
ward a moment later and took his seat
at the right of the President, while Chief
Justice d. y. Straup of the state supreme
court seated himself on the left. United
States Senator Reed SmOOt and Mayor j.
s. BraDsfOrd came in a few minutes later
and took chairs in the front row.
When all were seated, Mr.. Sargent gave
out hymn 46, Consider the Lilies in
which the congregation heartily Joined.
He then called attention to the fact that
the Rev. Mr.. Brown, pastor of the cnurcn,
who is a Yale man, was unayOidably alb
sent, attending the session of the Rocky

and was in Colorado yesterday He then
announced prayer, and the congregation
rected the Lords prayer.
