 The son of perhaps the most dis tinguished citizen of the United States is in our midst having arrived this morning.
 There is an old story that has gone the rounds of the United States sell- ste for many years to the effect tn tt a man from Arkansas was once elect cd to the U. S. senate.
 He had an exalted idea of that aug ust body and for the first two or three days after his arrival in Washington, be and his wife sat in the gallery a I'd gazed down on the senators. The new senator was timid and afraid ot go or mix among his fellow members.
 He remarked to his wife: q don't see how I ever got here"
 After awhile however, he gradually became acquainted, and after lunch ing with his colleagues, meeting them in the Hobbies and in the restaurants, playing cards with them, drinking with them and making laws with them he came to the conclusion that after all, perhaps they were common clay, the same as himself and one day he remarked to his wife:
 '1 know how I got here, but blamed if I see how some of these other fel- lows did"
 So it is with MT Roosevelt.
 His African trip with his father an1 the fact that he is the son of Thee Gore Roosevelt, have thrown a hal around him and the average man who meets him stands in awe until he Id net him and shook hands with hiIn and then after few moments conver sation, he realizes that he has simply met a man.
 And the meeting a man in this case is literally true.
 Urbane, suave, courteous, with the self-possession and ease that come of much travel and much elbow touching with the world at large, Kermit Roose ,elt is a man in every sense of the word.
 And as such you like him instinct lively.
 He is rather slender, tall and with a baby mustache that has tendency to show that some day it too, will at tain manhood's estate.
 But the mustache still has time 10 mature, while Mr. Roosevelt himself gives one the idea of a much older man.
 To-day at noon he was at lunch ill the Stag Cafe with Councilman A. L..
 ord"po and U. s. Commissioner C. H. Utting.
 He was introduced to many citizens during the noon hour and the after room and to ali he gave the same iT pression, that he was simply fine, wholesome specimen of American manhood. and like his father, perfect " capable of saying and doing tn , right thing at the right moment
 This afternoon at 200 D. m., he met Charley Meadows and togeth- they had quite a conversation as to the trip Mr. Roosevelt is to take down across the line.
 Mr. Meadows was able to give him many pointers on this section of the country and certainly as to the trip into Mexico, MT Meadows is as well or better posted than anyone else fin or around Yuma
 Mr. Roosevelt is here to take trip down into Mexico.
 Asked as to why he made the trip at this season of the year, when it is so hot in Mexico, MT. Roosevelt stated that it was not of his own volition at this season of the year, but rather the exingencies of the situation, and that wanting to sec that section of the country he was embracing the only chance he had.
 This afternoon MT Roosevelt WIS with Postmaster Russell H. Chandler, and was taken to the siphcn shaft, the reclamation offices, etc.
 So far no official list of the party f ) accompany MT. Roosevelt is obtaina- ble, and neither is it knwn positively when the party will start.
