Men of wide travel throughout the world have been fascinated by the weird and entrancing scenery, which they say IS possessed of a charm that must be seen to be appreciated. The highest mountains in Arizona will be traver. sed on a grade that will not at any point exceed 6 per cent, and which also will be available at any season of the year with comfort and con venienee.
 In contrast to the north and south route, former expeditions from Spring. 'erville to the Capital City have been attended with discomfort and com. edy of tribulations that make that route impracticable. Mir. Westgard secuted the country over a year ago, and his poor success is known to all. On the east and west route through the northern tier of Arizona coun. ties, however, there will be nothing 10 inconvenience travellers, and one of the splendid conditions is the many settlements that will be within communication at convenient dis. tanees. What the eastern tourists desire are historical points of in terest and what human ingenuity has accomplished 10 make the journey attractive. These elements are pre- sented along the route mentioned which is admitted by those who know and who have investigated the coun try from one end to the other.

FEDERAL CONTROL
 or RIVERS I soPPosED'

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. li.-Man. ufacturers' organizations. commercial clubs, chambers of commerce and the residents of the western states will be invited by the Spokane Mining Mems club to join in movement to determine what rights the federal government has in the water powers of the commonwealths west of the Mississippi river. IL is planned to carry the question Co the highest court, if necessary, in an effort to gain control for the states of the water powers within their boundaries
 l.. K. Armstrong, secretary of the Spokane Mining Mems club, who presented the plan at the last moot. ing of that organization, announced today that the campaign vii be launched in short time with view to bringing the matter to the atten- tion of the country.
 "We believe that in trying t0 maintain control of the water powers of the western commonwealths, the government is violating a specific provision of the constitution of the United States" he said. Before the constitution was signed the vari- ous states zealously guarded their own right 10 control all waters and water powers, which were not dis tinctly outside of the domain of any one state, and this right we think, the states still have.
 | "The water powers are an inex. ibaustible source of wealth to the states and communities in which they are found and should he developed flor the benefits of those districts. The oil which is used largely by the railroads in the western country is decidedly exhaustible natural re source and SO also will the coal sup-
 ply one day run out; but water pow CT will last forever, and if properly developed it will supply electrical en-
 ergy to operate the railroads, mills,
 factories and mines of the entire

Imposing and impressive was the funeral of Richard L. Tea. which took place at Fort whipple yester. day, when his remains were laid to rest with other comrades in the military cemetery that lies only short distance from his old home and amid the scenes of his early soldier life. The tribute was beautiful and deserved one Co his memory as n soldier and a citizen and it is doubt. ful If the occasion could have been attended with any more expressions of regret and sorrow than was evi. dent. Col. Tillson and the entire garrison participated, and the Masons of this city, all members of Barrett Post, q. A. R., and many civilian friends were present at the obsequies. One beautiful feature was the dis. tinction shown the few survivors of the civil war who were present by those of today in the ranks of the army, when recognition was extend. ed them as they passed through the lines to pay a last farewell to their old comrade. The Last sad rites were conducted by the military and in keeping with the sad duty from first to last, the post hospital build. ing was devoted to use as a chapel, and the corps in charge assumed the sad responsibility of caring for their dead comrade. As chaplain of the Masonic order, Rev. Jenkins deliver. ed the eulogy and later at the grave, the Masons observed their customary rites A quartette composed of H. D. Aiken, Dr. II. T.

TOURISTS ARRIVE
 FROM OHIO IN AUTOMOBILE
(From Sundays Daily.)

From Deersville, Ohio, to Prescott, Arizona, in an automobile, was the remarkable feat accomplished by Mir. and Mrs. Poulson and their two daughters, who arrived Friday after. noon, after travelling q total of 5,506 miles. They were on the road since June, and their arrival here was to visit with ]. c. Mccullough with the s. F. P. & P. railroad company in the auditors office, the brother of Mrs. Poulson, and also to see the western country. They passed in and out of the Mississippi valley states as quickly as possible, but when the Rocky Mountain region came into view, the scenes were so attractive that many side trips were made, hence the long distance GOV. cred and the wide range of country that attracted them. Their first stopping place in the west was at Canyon City, Colo, and from that point they went to Denver. It was then easy sailing to Laramie, wyo., but hard drive out of that state to Montana, Idaho, Nevada, and Cal. ifornia were invaded, and finally they arrived at Sacramento, the cap. ital, and after a few days made n bee.line for San Francisco. They steered the machine for Los Angeles, and in that city were joined by MT. Mccullough, with a Santa Fe folder to guide them over the desert to the Colorado river town of Ebrenberg. Thence 10 Prescott they glided with ease, and will remain for at least a month to view the scenery and Co rest. Mir. Poulson states that the long journey was made for the pur. pose of seeing the country, and this has been accomplished to the entire satisfaction of himself and family. The time lost has been more than compensated by the experience and Knowledge acquired or the wonderful country he knew so little of until the journey was made. He made the long trip in Ford machine of light build, which travelled the rough coun. try in an admirable manner. He will return home by rail, owing to busi. ness engagements.
