ENTERTAINMENT PLANS
 FOR THE LOS ANGELEN0S
EXPECTED AT MESA SATURDAY
 MORNING.
Arrangement Which Have Been Made
 to Show Them a Good Time.

The arrangements for the entertain ment of the representatives of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, who will arrive in Mesa Saturday morning at $40 o'clock, have been completed and everything is in readiness for the arrival Of the excursion.
 It might be repeated again at this time that the excursion will not arrive in Mesa until Saturday morning in stead of Friday morning. as has been before announced. The change of dates is due to a slight disarrangemcnt of the itinerary.
 In order to explain the reasons for the visit of the chamber of commerce to different Arizona towns, it might be stated that that orsa anization is made up of business men, many of whom, no doubt. are jobbers and wholesalers. Practically all of the goods handled throughout the territory come from Los Angeles. It is d de- sire of the business men Of Los An geles to see the personnel Of the busi- ness men of Arizona. They evidently desire to visit the stores and meet the prCprietors themselves.
 The local arrangements are as fol- lows: A committee consisting of pr. Palmer of the chamber of commerce assisted by M. P. Holladay and w. H. Payne, will meet the excursionists at the station and see to it that they all find seats in the long line of autOmo- piles that will te there and in wait ing When th's preliminary arrange ment has been attended to the proces- sion will come up town. where the vis- itors will see two immense streamerS hanging across the street on which Chi Peterson has in his most artistic man ner painted the word Welcome" One hour will be devoted to a general in spection and meeting at the Chandler court. Of course the visitors will be shown aroInd over the town, but the Chandler court will be a sort of gen eral headquarters. If there is any speaking, it will be done at that time. The most important committee. that on reception, is in charge of M. II. Best and F.. NJ. LeBaron. It is desired to have seventy-five men on this com mittee whose business it will be to re- ceive The committee will be furnished badges and each one must consider himself responsible for the showing of the visitors a genuine instructive good time At the end of the half hour Dr. Wilbur will drive the leading auto on q trip over the Mesa farming lands. He is looking up a route today. and while his position will be difficult in order to select the one best route out of so many good ones. yet he feels equal to the occasion. The route will be by way of the division gates, ostrich farm, finally ending at Tempe. The arrange ments are such that the train will be moved from Mesa to Tempe and the visitors will catch their train at that place This will give both Mesa and Tempe a better chance to entertain the visitors and incidentally show up the farming communities of both sections to a much better advantage.
 One important feature of the pro- gram must not be overlooked, and that is the entertainment of the ladies. M. P Holladay. who is especially adapted and we'll qualified for the honor, has been made chairman of the committee to receive the ladies. However. there are fifteen ladies in the party to be here. and MT. Holladay will naturally need some assistance from the local ladies. It is urgently requested that as many of the ladies of Mesa as possi- ble assemble at the Chandler court
