Ladies. members of the bar, gen. tlemen: We have been called to- gethcr at this time to organize the United States District court for the District Of Arizona. l have been designated to open, organize, and hold this court: and I now read the order of Senior Circuit Judge William B. Gilbert making this designation
 With these words the United States Circuit court for the District of Ari- zona became d reality.
 The scene was laid in the stuffy little Superior court room in the stuffy little court house which has so long served the people of Maricopa. The speaker was His Honor, William w. Morrow. of the Ninth United States judicial district to whom had been assigned the pleasant duty of organiz- ing Arzona's new branch of exalted judiciary.
 The occasion was fraught with sol emnity. and was of more than pass ing historical interest. The state of Arizona was assuming one of her prerogatives of statehood.
 The room was well filled. Mrs. Morrow was there. having accom- panied her distinguished husband from their San Francisco home. Practically the entire bar of Mari copa county was represented while from other parts of the state attor- neys had journeyed to be present at the birth of the court.
 After Judge Morrow had read the h. and viding for its organization. the Court said:
 Now. gentlemen. up to this point We have been proceeding under gen eral rule that is always observed in a court of justice. It is necessary to have officers and lawyers to conduct the business of the court But We must also have rules of procedure and I think I should appoint committee on rules I will say one word about such rules: 1 think that the judiciary and the legal fraternity generally are thoroughly convinced that the courts must administer justice expeditiouslN. as well as accurately and efficiently. This is 9 new state and the prospects are that it will occupy a prominent place in the list Of our progressive states. Now you have had an able bar during the long infancy of the territory. and I know of no reason why the bar of this state should not be the equal of any state in the Union. It behooves you to see to II that you occupy the high place you deserve I dc not speak of the offic- CTS of the court merely. but l speak of the legal profession generally. the court should be organized and its business transacted so that 1t will really and truly administer speedy and substantial justice. The people will support the judiciary of the coun- try if they know this purpose is kept constantly in view. l will submit 10 the committee l am about to apont the rules that have been followed in the Northern District of California. These rules are the result of long experience. and are the outcome of some very serious controversies. will submit these rules to the bar of this district. and I will appoint com mittee to examine their provisions and see how far they will be applicable to the business of this court. I propose to apoint on this comimttee: Joseph F.. Morrison. Governor R. F.. Sloan, Judge Edward Kent. Judge A. C. Baker and Gen. George P. Bullard.
 Appointment of the court officers followed: Joseph l.. Morrison was named United States attorney, Allan E. Jaynes. clerk; Charles A. Over lock. United States marshal: and L.. Woolf. bailiff and court messenger.
 These officers are all temporary. pending confirmation by the president and the appointment of the United States judge for Arizona, but it is understood that most. if not all of them. will be made permanent at the proper time
 The seal of the court will be a circle within which an American eagle will extend his wings. At the top the words United States Circuit Court - will appear. while in the lower part of the circle will be District of Ari- zona'
