It was dur ing the last days of racing at the EmeryVille track and things were not breaking any too easy for the fam oUs peddler of race track informa- tion right from the feed box.
 Casey and pal were up against it for transportation to Montana and as the distance from san Francisco {" Butte is a trifle farther than any tout would care to walk, they were desperate. Owing to the law against bookmaking which had just gone into effect in California, there was little betting being done The race track associations were simply run ming off the races to finish out the last few days programs and to give the horsemen q chance to gather a little getaway coin.

Member of Provincial Leg islature in Western Can ada Appreciates Phoenix and Does Not Hesitate to Say So

Hon. A. :. smith, member of the legislative assembly of the province of Saskatchewan.

MT Smith is expected to remain in Phoe- nix long enough for the Caledonian Society. which has plans under way. to have q grand gathering at which he will appear and deliver an ad- dress. Be it known that in addition to being patriotic Canadian he is a native born Scotchman and glories in it. He is d lOWlander, with all the shrewd humor of that wonderfully intellectual class of people.
 This is the first time in five years that Mir. smith has been in Phoe- nix. During his absence he says that Phoenix has grown out of her swaddling clothes until there are all the evidences of great city here, bring a fruition of the hopes of Phoenicians within the next few years
 Tt sometimes takes strangers to appreciate q place more than the oldest inhabitant' said Mir. Smith yesterday, and in View of that often expressed statement I may be per mitted to say that l believe there will be one of the finest cities in the southwest here in very few years. You have fine wide streets, well paved and well lighted supported by an agricultural community that is situated as faVorablY if not more so, than any other on the face of Gods footstOol.
 T never tire of telling my Canadian brothers of the glories of this eli mate. We have fine country you may be sure or so many people would not be going there now and making their homes. but it has some disadvantages which Phoenix has not which may account for the apprecia ton We have for this section.
