 Statehood will not add to the fertility of the soil. neither will it put more mineral in the ground. The great question today in Ari. sona is the physiological condition that faces the state-what k i TO- ing to do to bring in capital end after t comes. will official consid- erstion be just enought to not tax h to death.- While h WashinGton we heard much about the new baby state. and altogether it was not sg. rssabls co far % outside capital is concerned We believe Arisoas hes fine future. # it will bs judicious enough to pursue . consistent and conservative policy. and not ss- sociats itself with the wild reform movemsnts that are being agita. ted by once -sesking politicians"
 Such were the sentiments ex- pressed by II. R. Hartman, attor- ney and capitalist of Seattle. who is one of a party of hnanciers and wives who have been here the guests of Judge and Mrs. F.. w. Wells. IL is probable that two of them will later become financially inter csted in the Arizona Land & Irriga- ton Company. The primary object of the trip, however. is pleasure and sightseeing. the fame of the new state having impclled them 10 leave their homes and interests and make the journey to the Grand Canyon, thence to Prescott in their private palatial railroad car.
 Judge Wells and Mir. Hartman chanced to meet and form an ae- quaintance at Washington during the recent trip of the former to the East. Mir. Hartman said Judge Wells made a decidedly favorable impression at the National Capital and commanded attention through his urbane manners and substantial citizenship. It was at that time the invitation was extended to Mir. Hartman to come to Prescott and it was not long until he avail cd himself of it,
 The personnel of the party includ- es Mir. and Mrs. II. R. Hartman, of Seattle. Mir and Mrs. C. w. French. of San Diego. Judge and Mrs. T. R. Waters. of New York. Mir and Mrs. George Walker. of Chicago. and C. w. Denicke, of Chicago. Speaking for the party Mir. Hartman expressed himself as not only charmed with the finest little city he had ever visited in the west. but that they were fascinated with the beautiful scenery that abounds as far as the eye could see. Combining business with pleasure they were taken to Lonesome valley by Geo. A. Thayer. manager of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Com pany. to view the forty-thousand. acre domain that is soon to be re- claimed. and made productive thru water storage Mir. Hartman dwelt at length on the magnificent under taking. and was astoundcd to learn of the feasibility of the pro- ject, which appealed to him as one of the most bcnihcent propositions in reclamation he had ever known, although he is identified with similar undertakings in the west.
 After the return of the party they were entertained at the Yava- pal Club with luncheon. when an auto drive was taken over the state highway as far as the summit of Senator Hill. This journey only ad. ded to the admiration of the vis- itors for Prescott. and all express ed themselves as delighted with the ride and charmed with the coun- try. They continued their journey to the west at 5 o'clock yester- day afternoon.
