THE PRosPECTOR notes with satisfaction that the good roads sentiment is growing in Ari- zona, and as a result several counties are preparing to is sue good roads bonds. Yuma set the example with a $lO0,- 900 issue and Gila proposes to follow this lead with a S150,000 issue. The citizens of Cochise are evincing a de- cided interest in the subject, and a movement for better thoroughfares is now under way. Other counties will take up the good work, and before one can hardly realize it. all the important towns of ArizO- na will be connected with a system of county and terri- torial highways that will make team and auto travel a real pleasure It will be money well spent.

Ouc esteemed contempor
 ary, the Phoenix Republican, waxes righteously indignant on account of q weather re- port sent out Saturday, in which the temperature of Phoenix, 100 degrees, was coupled with the temperature of Washington and Baltimore, which reached 99 degrees that day. The Republican goes on to explain that there are two separate and distinct kinds of heat; that while 100 degrees in Phoenix is just moderately warm, the same temperature in cities ot the Atlantic coas, is simply unbearable. Our contemporary is eminently correct. Arizona sunshine is mild and invigorating all the year round. Health and lon. gevlty are the portion oi dwellers in this favored cline, and without any desire what. ever to boast, but merely to express a we'll known fact, THE PRosPEcToR rises to re- mark that for an ideal c!im. ate. 365 days in the year, there is none that will com- pare with that of Tombstone

Arizona is increasing more


 Arizona is increasing more rapidly in population lat the present time than ever before Tn its history. zThe nearness to completion of the Roose- welt dam, and the large area of land shortly to be thrown open to settlement along the Colorado river, is attract ing home seekers from all parts of the United States. Cochise county, especially, is constantly receiving additions to its population, the influx of people, who have heard o' its Wonderful mineral and agricultural resources, being perhaps greater than to any other part of the territory.

WE LOVE ALL MEN. BUT OH, YOU

The following extract is taken from the Los Angeles Evening News which con- fesses why Los Angeles likes Arizona:
 The desert is pouring its human tide into Los Angeles from Nevada, Arizona and California points. Where one locality of the heated zones send one person to Los An geles for the summer, Arizona sends at least twenty people. and mighty glad Los Angeles is to see them. Everybody here has the glad hand out for Arizona. We like the people from over there. and we frank ly like their dollars. They have lots of dollars. and they are not reluctant to spend them. Sometimes we think that AriZonans are the best spenders in the world. Ar Arizonan does not throw his money away. but neither doe: he hold on to a dollar unti the eagle dies of old age. Hi; dollar was earned honestly and still it did not come witt the sweatshop effort.
 That is the sort of none, which Arizonans bring to Lo Angeles in the summer. ant they bring lots of it. Las summer local business mel estimated that the people c Arizona who spent the heate' term in this city and on tn beaches of this vicinity spen at least S3 OOO GOO in maxim, themselves comfortable.

Celebrate Eiao Day,

/, Washington, June 14.-From every
public building in the capitol and from
hundreds of private edif1ces the Stars
and Stripes foated today to comment
crate the 132nd anniversary of the
adoption of the flag by the continent
tai Congress. Today's observance wa
more general than ever before, accord
ing to officials Of the American Flag
Day Association. President Taft gave
his official Endorsement to the purpos
es of the association, and the day
was proclaimed a legal holiday by the
governors of Illinois, Michigan and
Oregon. In practically all the states
and territories there vas a less for
NAL celebration OF the day.
The first flag day" in America was
on June IA, 1777, when Congress, sit
ting in Philadelphia, officially
Resolved, That the flag OF the thir-
teen United States shall he Of thirteen
stripes OF alternate red and white;
with a union of thirteen stars of white
in a blue field, representing the new
constellation"
The Congress appointed a commit

son voted for this motion, which was
defeated. 1t was found that all eff
forts to kill the ordinance would fail
AND the inevitable was submitted to
by Messrs. Robinson, Bell and White
man and the ordinance placed on final
passage. Up to this point Mr.. Robin
son had used all h means at his
command to defeat the ordinance, but
when the final vote was taken, he sur
rendered his convictions on h sub
Ject and voted for its passage. This
is a correct statement of the passage
of the ordinance abolishing The hcens
ing of bawdy houses in Roswell,
which movement was opposed by Mr..
Robinson, until the final vote. This
statement is made in the interest of
correctness and without the knowl-

tee on the flag, which reported in ex-
tense:
1.-The stars of the flag represent a
new constellation rising in the West.
The idea is taken from the great con-
%stellation Lyra, which, in the hands OF
Orpheus, signifies harmony. The blue
In the field is taken from the edge of
the Covenanters' Banner, of Scotland,
significant of the League Covenant of
the United States against oppression.
The stars are disposed in a circle
s~ymbolizing the perpetuity of the I'm
ion, the ring signifying eternity. The
thirteen stripes with the thirteen
stars how the number of the united
colonies, and denote subordination of
the States to the Union, as we'll as
equality among themselves. The red,
the color which in the Roman days
vas a symbol of defiance, denotes dar
ing, and the whites purity.
The resolution establishing the flag
was not promulgated by the secretary
of the Congress until September s,
1777. This flag was the first carried
in the battle of the Brandywine, Sep
TENDER 8, 1777, and was borne in all
Of the subsequent encampments,
marches, campaigns, I'M battles of
the Revolution.
h origin OF Flag Day was on
June IA, 1889. The originator was
George Bolch, who was in charge of
a free kindergarten for the poor In
New York City. The patriotic idea
was conceived by this obscure educa-
tor, who put it into execution with
his school of little ones; and the exer-
cises attracted so much attention as
TO srike a popular chord. The news
papers toe it up, and the State board
OF education adopted the idea unani-
mously.
The American Flag association was
organized II years ago to promote
reverence for and to prevent h desc
Grafton of the flag of our country. Its
principal object is fulfilled in the an
nua flag day celebrations which are
becoming periodically observed thru
out the land.

Elsewhere the Record publishes a
letter giving information regarding
the Irrigation Congress at Spokane
next August. An effort is being made
to secure a full car from Roswell, and
as this will provide more comforts and
conveniences than can be secured In
any other way, it will probably prove
successful. Roswell is deeply inter
ested in irrigation matters and the
Congress should he well attended
from this valley. In addition an OPP

Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Pope enter
tanned eight friends Monday night at
seven o'clock dinner. This was a cele-
bration of Judge Pope's birthday and
just before the last course was serv-
ed, a tray containing a cake, a burn
ing life candle and many mysterious
looking packages, was placed before
the Judge and to the great amusement
of the guests the packages were un-
tied and the presentation cards read.
Judge Pope's procilivity for garden
ing and his m~atchless in this
work being so universally recognized,
it is not surprising that on this occa-
sion the gifts were small garden tools,
rakes, sprinklers, buckets, spades,
etc. The guests had not been appraised
that it was to be a birthday dinner, so
h gift feature of the evening was as
nue. a surprise to them as to the
Judge. The evening was most delight
full in every particular. Those present
were Messrs. and Mesdames Wyllys,
Mason, Veal. Judge Richardson and
Mrs. w. a. Johnson.
