When Theodore Roosevelt comes ia
Arizona to dedicate the dam that

of honor at banquet to be given by
the Young Mems Phoenix club, pro-
vided he accepts an invitation issued
by that organization last evening.
The club held a business meeting at

inviting Roosevelt to attend a ban

enthusiastically passed a resolution
instructing the secretary to imme-

and forward il to the ex-president
DR.. J. y. Mccormack and several

club feels that the day is coming
when Phoenix will be governed in a

now. and that il would be well for
to have information about

AN EARNED APPOINTMENT
IN THE PIONEERS HOME
HOW sILAS ST. JOHN QUALIFIED
FORT
His Stirring Adventure in Arizona
More Than Half a Century Ago.

Silas St John left last night for
Prescott, where he will have active
charge of the commissary and ac-
counts of the Pioneers home, under
Major Doran, the superintendent Mrs.
St John accompanied him and will
take the position of matron of the
home.
The home will not be thrown open
until the first of next month. by
which time accommodations will have
been arranged for forty occupants.
though perhaps not so many will pre-
sent themselves for admission at that
time. Citizen Member Robert Craig
of the board of control will go to
Prescott some time before the first
of the month to arrange for the for
NAL opening.
A more fitting appointment than
that of Mr.. St John could not have
been made. He is perhaps the oldest
Arizonian in point of residence. He
first came to the territory in 1854.
and though his residence has been
far from continuous. he has had some
stirring pioneer experiences here.
His first visit to Arizona was made
as an agent of the Adams Express
company. or rather as an inspector of
the company. He had long been con-
nected with the company in New
York In that service he left an arm
at Tucson in this wise:
About the middle fifties. with a
force of three men. he was making
trip over the old Butterfield stage
route, inspecting the stations of the
Arizona republican., 1911-01-19

express company. When he got into
the southwest he added three Mexi-
cans to his force, and the company
pursued its westward journey. one
afternoon the party reached one of
the stations. unoccupied. however,
some distance west of the present
site of Bowie. The next human habi-
| tation was Tucson.
That night Mr.. St John was aroused
/ from his sleep in the station building.
an adobe hut, and saw man stand
ing with an ak poised He sprang
from his cot and threw up his left
arm in time To intercept the blow
which fell on the arm midway be
tween the elbow and shoulder.
His asSailant sprang toward the
door of the hut, and Mr.. St John
seized a revolver from his bed and
fired a shot at the fleeing man, who
seemed to stumble, but he gathered
himself and ran on. Hearing no sound
from his companions. who were sleep
ing outside the building, he made an
investigation and found that the three
Americans were murdered. The Mex
leans were gone.
Then began three days of horror.
1t was in midsummer and when the
sun came up Mr.. St. John was at
tackled by a fierce thirst which he
had no means of relieving His first
task was the disposition of the mu-
tilated bodies of his companions. AL
most helpless, he could only partially
cover up the bodies and guard them
against coyotes and the buZzards.
which flocked later. The inflammation
of his own wound increased, and when
the west bound stage came two days
afterward the driver found a wildly
delrious man. The bodies of the dead
were then buried, and Mr.. st. John
was taken To Tucson, where for
time his life was despaired of. The
arm was amputated near the Shout
der. and gradually Mr.. st. John re-
covered.
Some months later the skeleton of
a man was found not far from the
place of the encounter. Beside the
bones there was a great shock of red
hair one of the Mexicans of the
st. John party had such a shock of
hair. so that Mr.. St John has always
believed that il was a mortal wound
that made his assailant stumble
The story of this tragedy was print
ed in Harper's Weekly in the late fiji
ties. along with wood cut portrait
of Mr.. st. John. The Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal. however. printed the first
complete account OF that massacre at
the stage station and the frightful ex-
perience of the survivor.
After that Mr.. St John spent a
great deal of time in the territory
and assisted in the survey of at least
one of the Indian reservations which
now lie in Maricopa county.
After returning east he remained
there for several years He came
back about 1896 and has been resi-
dent of the territory since. SO resi-
dence and priority fit him for the
position to which he has been APP
pointed but he is still better fitted for
it by his executive ability and clerical
skill

An announcement from Golfers

You breathe newspapers. Every
day you take into your system their state
ments their opinions, their pictures of life.
You are largely formed by them. On the
other hand you help to create them.
Your habits, your tastes, your wishes. de-
termine their course How much do you
know about them! Practically nothing.
GOLFERS believes that the public ought
to be in closer touch with these sources of
opinion and power We have decided,
therefore, to make the great feature of
Golfers, all through 1911. a series of
articles on the newspaper as one of the
leading forces in modern society.
We shall give the history of the news,
paper: show why free government could
not exist without it describe the value of
yellow journalism, and it's harm. We
shall answer such questions as What is
News!" We shall explain the forces
which a newspaper is compelled to face
including the fnancier, the advertiser, and
the general reader. Part of the series will
be written by experts from the inside
Part will present the views of outsiders.
We shall take up journalism in various
specific places Residents of Boston,
San Francisco, Charleston. Chicago, and
many other towns and cities. will not only
learn new things about their newspapers,

THEY ALL LOOK FOR
A BIG FALL TRADE.
Baltimore Wholesalers Expect Heavy
Southern Buying.

Baltimore, Mr.. August 1O.-Optimis-
tic to a marked degree are the views
taken by the large mercantile houses
Of this city regarding the fall season.
Especially is this true in regard TO
the Southern trade, Of which Balti-
more gets much. While it is generally
conceded that conditions since the
panic Of 1907 have been gradually i'm
proving, this, from the general pres
ent outlook, will be banner year.
Two things are especially noted as
bringing about this much desired re
sula-the bumper cotton crop and the
fact that Southern merchants have
bought lightly in the past two years
with the result that their stocks are
very low.
The large crops will, in the Ian

gauge of the trade, means easy cash.
With plenty of money trade is bound
to result and a greater demand for all
kinds Of goods will follow. The South
ern merchants, to meet this demand,
say the Baltimore oracles, will have
to lay in heavy stock of goods. It
vii be heavier than for two years as
in addition to replenishing their de-
pleted stock they will lay in new
supply.
In speaking of the merchants with
whom they have come in contact and
also those who have written to them
boards of trade say that without eX-
ception they stated the fall trade
would be exceptionally good.

here and they have bought better than
any year since 1907" said one large
