LOS ANGELES PARTY
 WILL ARRIVE AT 9.30
Everything Has Been Cut Out But the Automobiles Which Should be
 on Hand Promptly.

The Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce excursion party will arrive here this morning at 9:30 o'clock and it is requested hy the committee that the automobile drivers all have their ma . chimes on First avenue near the depot, promptly at that hour that there may
 be no delay. II was supposed that q sufficient number of machines had been secured to accommodate the par tN but there was some fear yesterday that some of them might not be avail able nn time. The committee in charge pf the machines therefore requests that every citizen who has a machine at his disposal. will have it at the depot. whether he is among those pre- NinuSlN listed or not that there may be no shortage of ears. The aUtOm"- bile committee is composed of Dwight R. Heard Vernon C- Cook and l.. S. Thompson and every machine should be reported to them at the depot. lt will be better to have too many than Hpi enough of them.
 Another revising of the excursion schedule occurred yesterday by clip ping off some more from the last ern rf the Phoenix program II was an uounCed that the party will !>av" to leave here at 1 o'clock. Tat prdC- tically eliminates everything but the automobile ride The spccchmakinE will go bv the board II. | Latham. A. R. Cater and Elliot Evans went to lIaricopa last night to meet the party which Tin'come through to Mesa City early >. the morning and work back via<'FhoeniX arriving here at the .Erhedulcd time. Then comes the auto mobile ride and good bye again at o'clock MT. Latham said before leaV- ing that whatever else might happen the party's arrival will he as advcr- tiscd There is nothing left now but the auto ride and it is urged that ev erything he in readiness for that If that should he eliminated. which there is no no fear of now, the assembled chauffcurs will at least be permitted to give the party cheer as it passes through Phoenix. The towns people will have the arriving time on record SD they. can always say the visitors have been here
 Ii was understood last night that the southsiders were chafing under the belief that they would be cut short ow- ing to yesterdays announcement that the party must leave the valley at o'clock. Mir. Latham however assured them last night before leaving. that they could have all day up to 9:3O m. less tho time fl takes to run from Tempe to Phoenix
 IL is regretted by all and no doubt by no one more than the cxcursionists. that the original schedule could not be adhered to. II was hoped that the Phoenix people generally would have chance to meet the cXcursionists and have a real good sociable time. but one thing is certain and that is that the visitors will toe shown just as much of the worlds garden spot as they can in three hours and perhaps the incl dent will be an inspiration that will result in other excursions at a later day. At any rate it is hoped every owner of an automobile will do his part to make the automobile ride a good one while it lasts.

BEGINNING OF USE OF IRON
Hard to Trace Exactly, But Its Origin
10 Thought to Have Been In
Central Europe.

1t Is commonly believed that the
use OF Iron commenced In either AZ.
rice or Asia. The latest investiga
lions prove that It was not worked
In Egypt until the ninth century be-
fore the Christian era, or In Libya un-
til $50 B, c.. that the Semites lopt.
ed Its use still later. and that It has
been known In Uganda only within
the last f1ve or six centuries. In
China iron IL frst mentioned In 400
b. C. Bronze weapons were EN-.
pioyed In China until 100 AID, and In
Japan until 700 AID According to a
Mr.. Rtdgeway, who has investigated
this subject. the metallurgy of iron
must have originated in central
europe, especially In Noricum, which
approximately represented modern
Austria and Bavaria. Only at Hall

from which countries the Achaians
and Dorians are supposed to have
migrated to Greece, are found evil

Iron. at first as an ornament applied
to the bronze which II ultimately dis
placed. Everywhere also iron was in

plies a foreign origin. He says that
meteoric iron was known in Egypt in
remote antiquity, but no doubt 1t was
worked. as hints are worked, by cutting
or chipping, and was not smelted In
other words. 1t was metallurgy, not
the knowledge, of iron that originated
In central Europe.
