GET IN LINE FOR
EXCURSION TICKETS
The Pea Vine Limited Starts Satur-
day Morning at 7:45 O'clock.

This is to a notable week i'm locaf
history, a week that will end. it is
believed. with the biggest excursion
that was ever run over the 5. f,
L. & = railroad, the visit Of those
who live in the valley and on the
hillsides. to the mountain tops of the
mile high city, via the Pea Vine
Limited. The excursion tickets from
Phoenix will cost $3.50 good from
next Saturday morning until the fol-
lowing Wednesday night. The excur-
sion will not only be open to the
Phoenix people, but to those of all
the Intervening towns where an eff
fort will be made to secure good del
eSatiOns also.
As most people know, this eXcur-
sion is prompted by the spirit of
reciprocity that now exists between
Prescott and Phoenix and which both
cities are concerned in cultivating.
But not alone the two terminal
towns. It is planned to make the
spirit of cooperation rampant in all
the intervening territory neither
town would bewOrth much without
it's back country, and in the sense OF
cultivating this movement the word
Prescott means Yavapai county and
the word Phoenix means Maricopa
county
But while it is a good fellowship
enterprise. il is believed the excursion
will be worth more than il costs in
pleasure to all who embark upon it.
There will be five days in the pine
country for those who can stay the
limit. and every day ought to develop
at least SO worth of pleasure to ev-
cry eXcursionist. and in the meantime
many OF them will be transacting
business. Naturally all the lot hold
ers in the new summer colony ada
cent to Phoenix will want to go,
many Of them doubtless improving
the opportunity to start the building
of their summer bungalows. To that
end the Prescott people are doing all
that they promised in putting the
tract in order piping the water To the
tract and running the electric light
and telephone lines, and making the
improvements that will mark the
place as a suburb of the beautiful
mountain city, possessing all the pub
lie utilities.
Others will find opportunity TO at
tend to much personal and CONNER
cial business. But the main body of
the eXcursionists will go for a good
time. and If they do not have it it
will be their own fault. Prescott Is
exerting herself as never before Tor
the entertainment OF the expected
guests. There will be automobile rides
to all points Of interest, and there
are many: special church services on
Sunday. banqueting in the st. Michael
hotel. adm general festivity on Decor
alton DAY. But. best of il all, viii be
the spirit OF welcome and blessed
privilege of doing as one pleascs.
and as there will be five days of il
there need be no hurry about any
thing.
The committee in charge Of the oN-
cursion. which will be run under the
auspices Of the board of trade and
the City club Of Phoenix, will prob
ably begin soliciting today to secure
the names as many as possible VINO
will 20 on the excursion. This does
not mean that one must sign up In
order to go. for his money viii be
good at any time, even at the last
moment. and if he cannot go on the
excursion train he may take the next
one; but the committee desires to Sc
cure the names of as many as posi-
BILE in advance, first for the use oil
the local committee and the railroad
in providing equipment. and secondly
for the information of the Prescott
committees who will he better en-
abled TO provide for the comfort OF
thier guests if they can get an ldca
of how numerous they will be. II the
hest possible is to be secured out OF
the excursion it is therefore highly
desirable that the valley people ar
range their plans as soon as possible
and leave their names at the Santa
Pc office.
In the meantime the platter of
series Of baseball games between the
Phoenix and Prescott teams is being
considered and it is quite probable
Will BE- satisfactorily arranged. Other
entertainment will be developed be
tween now and Saturday and Pres
colt viii probably announce its plans
Goa, celebrating decoration day.
