ONLY CHANCE LEFT
 UNDER THE FLAG
Arizona Offers The Last And the Best
 Ground Floor Opportunity.

C. J. McEiroy of the Greene & Griffin company. returned Friday from a business visit to Los An geles. Mir. McElroy is one of the real boosters of Phoenix and every time he returns from business trip to points outside of Arizona he is more optimistic than ever on the great fu- turc of this valley. Yesterday he ex- pressed himself as follows:
 The eyes or the public are turn ing towards Arizona. It is becoming apparent to the wide awake man that the new state offers the only ground floor chance that is left under the stars and stripes IL is the last terri tory and the last state in the union and the man with little capital knows the utter futility of atempting tO compete in the already .Over-crOwded populOus north and east, and the prospects of the new state appeal to him This is recognized to such an extent that even in Califoria accord ing to the statements of the various railroads the travel from there to Arizona has increased 5 per cent in the last year. Copper. which pro- duCes 65 per cent of the wealth of the territory. is in the ascendancy. This in return furnishes an immense home market for the agricultural sec tons which with the increasing tour ist travel which every year comes to Phoenix and its surrounding country. creates demand for food. clothing. homes and etc. that has been the meas of putting business on a more solid basis than exists in hundreds of the older cities of the east. A safe and satisfactory situation like this is bound to appeal to the man who has faith in himself. but wants a chance. The real estate market is d good in deN tO the situation and the past month witnessed more transfers than have taken place for several months Many new and expensive homes have been contracted for. or are under con- struction. and the optimistic feeling among the business people is a good sign that the turning point has been reached and that from now on Ari- goa and her beautiful Phoenix and valley surrounding are at last coming into their own

THE GREEN ABOVE THE ORANGE
Irishman in the Arizona Pioneer Home
 Refuses to Shake Hands With Sir Gilbert Parker

Sir Gilbert Parker, the English novelist and member of Parlia- ment who has been visiting Pres- colt, met with a unique rebuff Saturday at the Arizona Pioneer home.
 All the inmates of the home, many of them grizzled survivors of the exciting early days ot Ari- zona, had been presented to the novelist, excepting James O'Don- nell, veteran, and one of the earliest settlers ot the new state.
 When O'Donnell was intro duced, he added:
 Are you English?"
 "Yes," replied the visitor.
 Then l won't shake hands, " announced O'Donnell. "I am Irish.
 But 1 am half Irish myself, Y" protested Sir Gilbert. Shake hands,"
 Il will never shake hands as long as there is a drop of English blood in your veins," roared the pioneer.
 Sir Gilbert laughed good na- turedly, saying he would have a good story for T. P. O'Connor at home, but Maj. Doran, superin- tendent of the home, reported the incident to Gov. Sloan and to the chief of staff of the army in Wash ington.
 Sergeant O'Donnel went to the home from Flagstaff where he has lived for good many years. He is a great student of Irish history and for years was a drill master in the regular army.
