Alberta Claire
Coming to Yuma

(From Mondays Daily EXaminer)
Miss Alberta Claire, is going from
Buffalo, Wyo. to Buffalo, N. Y. THIS
does not seem especially remarkarl HE.
She is not taking any short cuts, but
is coming by way of Los Angeles an
Yuma, which it will be considered by
all students of geography, is I'll sfe
beaten track between TIC two B1ffalos
Yet even this is not remarkable. But
she is doing all this on horseback ac-
companied only Ey Il Il IS. She is BRAY
ing the mountains and the desert the
long nights without shelter, the long
days without fl Oh save such as she
can carry win Der: the fires of the
forests, the floods of the gulches and
arroyos, and this is remarkable.
10 do this Is a difficult fes:. and
one full of danger. Already Miss Claire
has been lost on blind and half forgot
ten trails. She has had to sleep in the
open, her horse picketed near by and
her faithful dog on watch.
Although Miss Claire is enjoying
her trip, she is not doing this for fun.
She was born in Wyoming and is de-
voted to her native state. She thought
that to ride around the U. S. A. as
"The Girl from Wyoming" would be
an advertisement tending to keep her
beloved commonwealth on the map.
Capitalists of Wyoming offered her
81 900 and a $3,10O ranch if she would
make the trip.
She is making it and this morning
the Examiner received the following
letter:
Santa Ana, CAL, Sept. 16.
Editor Yuma Examiner, Yuma.
am sending you picture postcard
of myself. 1 expect to leave San Ber-
nardino about the 21st of this month
and see how quickly 1 can make the
ride to Yuma. guess you read OF my
ride last week, from Bakersfield to
Los Angeles, III miles in "a hours.
l intend to make two days stop in
Yuma as have met so many Arizona
people, and judging by them l feel
that your new state is like my own
old Wyoming full of the true western
spirit which is seldom found nova
days. am coming to Arizona prepar-
ed to feel at home and like you all, so
1 hope you will like me.
Your state and Texas will be the
last of the real west may hope to see
for some time.
With best regards,
Alberta Claire,

 stunned At Once

It was announced yesterday that the proposition of erecting hotel on the corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth street would be taken up within few days by those gentlemen heretofore inter- ested in that project with the intention of finally erecting the. hotel.
 No definite information is said to be at this time available as to the proposition. However. it is understood that Harvey G. Woodward, the owner of the lot to be used for the hotel, will be interested in the work.
 The plan of erecting hotel on Fifth avenue by the Fifth Avenue Hotel com pany has been discussed for some time the last delay being attributed to the un- settled political conditions in the state It is. now said to be the opinion of the in- vestors interested that conditions are perfectly sound and that & hotel would be easily financed by the interests here 'tofore associated in that proposition.
 In the meantime financial circles are informed unofficially that w. J. DangaiS of Paris, who came here to look over the hotel situation. is meeting with great en- couragement in his plans and it is appre- hended that announcements of a definite character will be made by him within 2 short time.

EXCISE BOARD ID
 CONSIDER CLUBS Believed University Club Will Be Given License.
 Will Investigate

It is probab able that the social club sit- uaton will be taken up this morning by the excise commission of Jefferson couu- ty. That body transacted very little bus mess yesterday. No additional licenses were granted. At various times of the day saloon men came in with plans for the commissioners to look over and others for permission to change locations. The commissioners passed upon some of them but the majority of requests were passed over to be taken up later.
 The commissioners are inclined to in- vestigate the recently organized social clubs in this city. The lists of applica- tions is said to disclose many that arc of questionable reputation.
 As for the University club, that organ- ization will in all probabilities be granted license. The commission, despite some neighborhood protests, is inclined to view that organization on the same social scale as the Southern, Country and Phoe- nix clubs and it is deemed inconsistent for the commission to grant the other three licenses, without doing the same for the University club. The protests as to that organization came from neigh bors who object to the Doric lamps in front of the club and of other propo- sitions calculated to disturb the calm of those residents adjacent to the club.
 The commissioners will perhaps issue a statement within few days regarding the rules and regulations under which the saloons are operated. They will also make a trip of inspection over the. city when the majority of the A saloons are opened for business.

NOV|CES ARE TAKEN
 ACROSS THE SANDS
ZamOra Temple Had Big Ceremonial Session at the
 Orpheum Last Night

The band of 1nnis, the state fair, the
 matchless offerings of the theatres, the
 varied thirst parlors of Birmingham and
 the unrestrained joy to be found in the
 many attractions in Birmingham, could
 not influence any Shrner to stay away
 from the ceremonial session of Zamora
 temple last night, and they were there
 in droves. The first fall ceremonial ses-
 sion of the nobility was given last night
 at the Orpheum theatre. Vast crowds en
 route to the state fair to witness the of
 ferings there, gazed with unspeakable
 horror at the silently unimpresisve build
 ing corner, Seventeenth and Third, while
 groans and guffaws and laughter split
 through the crevices and made their way
 outside to stop traffic.
 Nobes in their fez and dress coats attempted to drown the desire to join the elect from about 25 thirsting novces. Although all the punishment known 10 the elect was resorted to, and despite the hottest sands that were ever offered here
 as path to Mecca, the aforesaid ambi-
 ton was not dampened and the novices
 are today satisfied.
 It was said by Potentate Keiser and Re
 corder Geohegan that % came from An
 niston. Montgomery, Blocton, Attalla
 Gadsden Decatur and elsewhere to take over the wisdom to be offered. They
 visited the fair yesterday afternoon, but at ! o'clock they appeared at the Or pheum. where they were chained to the walls and shortly thereafter a bowling caravan started across the blisterins sands. There has been many like per formances here among the nobility, but il is said that no ceremonial has yet ap proa ched the one of last night. From thu early falling of the daylight hours unti | past midnight last night the fun con tinued with unapating fury to the ent | that Mecca should be reached.
 | The Arab Patrol preserved order am with the assistance of many team work CTS those who came for wisdom were en abed to hold on to the rope. And thi'
 morning they can say truthfully, T have been there" The session ended the first offering of the season with the additiona banquet served on the ground floor of q building located between Eighteenth ano Nineteenth on Fourth avenue. There Captain McGregor had prepared a feed to accommodate say 300, and they did ii justice.
 The banquet ended with every Noble glad Of his having been on hand and glad
 also of his having been a Noble. The late novices and new nobles will return to their homes today.

INCREASE SECTION FOR COTTON BUYING Transportation Committee Chamber of Commerce
 Report on Wool

At the regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening, upon the occasion of the address from Willis L. Moore, the transportation com mittee of which H. w. Coffin is chair man made report in part as follows:
 About a, year ago your committee un- dertook to secure from the railroads serv- ing this district, extension of the cotton concentration privilege the results of our efforts were shown from time to time, and they were gratifying and en- couraging. One by one the railroads ac- ceeded to our requests until Birming- hams cotton assembling territory has been more than doubled. Recently all of that cotton originating on the Illinois Central railroad east of Corinth, Miss. anI destined to eastern points of con sumption, has been turned from the old route through New Orleans. where 1t was shipped by steamer to the eastern mills, to the new route through Birming
 ham ahd on to Savannah, giving our cot- ton buyers and compress chance at just that much more new business. This change was sought by your committee in its cotton campaign and handled through the local representatives of the
 Illinois Central railroad with the general traffic officers of that line, who have
 finally granted what we asked This leaves only one road upon whom we made these requests to be favorably heard from, and the matter is still pending with it, in such a satisfactory shape that
 we have hopes of soon announcing that il, too, has fallen into line.
 "The freight bureau has been active in adjusting a great number of claims for | overcharges which arise among our trade. l One of its activities is shown in the ef-
 fort to have the interstate commerce
 commission establish at Birmingham a public tarif file which will contain all the
 tariffs, rules and regulations affecting shipments to and from this city. This l would be of inestimable benefit to the shipping public by placing within the 1 reach of all such authorized rate infor-
 nation that a shipper would no longer be dependent upon one lines quotation
 of a rate between two points, but would
 have the advantage of getting the lowest and latest rates published. It would be helpful to the roads in many ways; first, by largely relieving them of the respon- sibility of individual quotations; and sec
 ond, by maintaining only one general
 public tariff file instead of, as they now do. keep up 10.
 These public tariff files are estab- lished in various parts of the country;
 generally there Is one in each state but several of the states have two Mont somery has one Atlanta has one; Mem phls and Chattanooga each have one; our patriotic railroad members could do much l toward the establishment of this tariff file if they would lend their assistance to the efforts now being made in that direc- | ton. Respectfully submitted,
 Fl. W. COFFIN, Chairman"
