RANCHO BON|TO's GUESTS
Col. Roosevelt and Family Stopped for the Night Beginning at Il O'clock Today the Program Will Be Concluded.

Colonel Roosevelt and party return ed from the dam yesterday in fine feather. all declaring that their trip had been d most enjoyable one.
 The automobiles carrying the mem bers of the Roosevelt family and Miss Landon. together with their immediate escorts. all drove directly south to Rancho Bonito, or the Evans school, the present home of Archie Roose- Welt. where all save the local es- cort and Miss Landon were to spend the afternoon and night.
 Miss Landon will leave the party here, having been met here by her father, Fl. II. Landon, who is for the present living in Bisbee and whom she will accompany there. She came on to Phoenix last evening with the local escort and with her father is guest of the Hotel Adams An neX
 MT. Frank Harper. private secretary to Col Roosevelt, returned with MT. and Mrs B. 4. Fowler and Miss Archer. to Palm Villa where he will be a guest until the departure of the party.
 The arrival at the ranch was in the neighborheod of ? o'clock in the af- ternoon. Mir Roosevelt had no special plans for the rest sof the day. at least none were announced, except that he hoped to take horseback ride with his son Archie Today's program has not been changed and has been announced with such frequency that all arc probably familiar with it. Anyhow preceding the arrival in Phoenix at 11:3O it merely includes short talks to the Mesa high school and the Tempe normal students. and ride over the south side The Phoenix program stands as publish ed.
 The weather yesterday was equally as fine as the preceding day. The wind was rather more noticeable for the reason that on the desert stretch the party travelled in the very teeth of it and at a faster pace How ever, the wind was an advantage for the reason that it blew the dust away from the faces of the travellers. All in all more perfect weather could not have been desired and though just d trifle warm in the afternoon, the forenoon drive was cool and brac- ing. The half dozen ears carrying the guests of honor and their imme- diate personal friends. stopped for luncheon midway between Mormon Flat and Tortilla Flat, in a veritable flower garden as far as the eye could reach. with the canyon of Salt River to the north of them and the rugged -peaks of the Expectations to the south. As the press car swept by Colonel Roosevelt stood beside a giant sahuara as though taking it's measure and wondering if anything more imposing in plant life could be found anywhere. even in Africa.
 Mention of the prass car sweeping by was purposely made for its oc- cupants were just at that time feel ing a trifle proud, not thinking for the moment that pride goeth before a fall. That particular car had made something of record tine day before in leading the procession into the town of Roosevelt, an hour ahead of the arrival of the dignitaries of the occasion. Yesterday morning it was among the first to leave and behaved equally as wei for mile and a half when mechanical troubles placed it at the road side for two hours. during which everything in the animal ..ingdom and the mechanical world, assembled at Roosevelt westward bound. including pedestrians, had passed by. The difficulties were fin ally overcome ana Between that point and Government Wells the press car passed twenty-one others and was do- ing famousIy when another tie-up was experienced and again the process sion passed by. or all that portion of it which was not in similar diff culty. Some of the occupants of the car took passage on more likely craft but MT. Lathem stayed with his ma chine until l.. ]. Fremau came along. gave it the magic touch. and it wheeled on into Phoenix in fine shape. not at the head of the procession. but also not at the tail of it.
 Several other cars had difficulty on the homeward journey. the universal ity of trouble being quite in contrast with the fine success of the day be- fore when very few cars were de- layed. None of the cars bearing the particular guests of the occasion, however. had any trouble and it is understood that all of them got home sometime last night MT. Roosevelt rode in a Kissel Ear. which had no trouble and made the ninety mile Irfya t-ia Granite Raaf within fiftaan
