PALATIAL TRAIN
 FOR INAUGURATION.

When the Southern Pacific rail road sends forward it's Arizona in- augural special sometime late in February carrying a party of Ari- zonians to the national capitol to witness the induction into office of President-elcct Wilson, a record in the equipment of train will have been made in the southwest. What ever the Southern Pacific or the Pullman company can do to pro- vide veritablc palace on wheels will be done for these companies realize that the Arizona Special will be the moving center of the map of the United States from the moment it pulls out until its last passenger detrains
 The exact equipment has not been announced, as that is a matter still occupying the attention of the traffic department officials who are determining that the very best avail able at that time shall be provided. The train however. will run solid the entire round trip, providing a home at all times for those making the journey and reserved for their ex- elusive use. IL will run upon a specially arranged schedule and will take precedence over all other traf- hc on the lines over which it will go forward
 The tentative itinerary now in cludes Fl Paso. Kansas City, Chi cago, Detroit, Niagara Falls. Buffalo, Albany, New York. Philadelphia. Baltimore and Washington. The re- turn will be made through Ken lucky. New Orleans and the famous Sunset Route. It is expected that the trip will occupy about fifteen days. permitting stops of from few hours to two days in the vari- ous cities. The cars will be parked at Washington and will be occupied by those travelling in lieu of hotels, accommodations in which will be | difficult to obtain at that time.
 Senators Ashurst and Smith, and Congressman Hayden have obtain ed the sanction of the United States government to take along, at the expense of the government, the In- dian school band, which will be augmented to sixty pieces for the occasion. The band will give short concerts at the various stopping places and will march in the inau- gural parade. Over fifty reserva- tions have already been made and it is believed this number will be more than doubled. While the pri- mary reason of the trip is to wit ness the inaugural ceremonies. the entire affair will take on the aspect of an Arizona boosters excursion, the praises of Arizona being sung

D. Dubois, secretary and manager of the plant, spent yesterday here placing 1900 cans. or half of the seasons output with the Phelps Dodge Mercantile company. He will leave this morning for Bis bee where he hopes to market the rest of the goods.

They were first cooked by live steam and then placed in the can and again cooked by steam. The double cooking acts as preserva,iyc and keeps the whole vegetable unspoiled without use of other preserving agents"

Dear Sir-I have your inquiry OF
