RAILROAD TRAFFIC NOW
HEAVIEST IN ROAD HISTORY

Few people realize the immense
amount of travel over the Santa Fe
this spring, most of it at the present
time going west. Up to Wednesday
thirty five sections of the limited, No.
8, have gone west, nineteen of them
by way of the Grand Canyon.
On Saturday a special train of
nurses passed through via Grand Can
yon to San Francisco. Wednesday
morning a surgical special went
through to San Francisco and stopped
over day at Grand Canyon.
No. 2 east bound runs an extra sec
ton every other day which goes to
the Canyon on its way east.
Since the double track was laid
there is little or no confusion and
traffic is handled through here so
easily that it is hard to realize the
great amount of travel that is going
over the road every day.

PRESCOTT INVITES W0RLO
TO PIONEER CONTESTS

Prescott invites the world to attend
the 1915 Frontier Days contests, July
3-4-5. Since July Fourth falls on Sun
day, the holiday will include Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday, and Chair
man E. A. Kastner and his committee
heads have arranged it so that there
need not be an idle moment for those
who visit the mile High City" The
celebration will be more complete that
any which have proceeded it. Nearly
$4,000 has been raised by the citiz-
ems of Prescott to finance this cele-
bration. More than $4,000 will be
distributed in purses. The chief feat
ure of the program will be the Worlds
Championship Broncho Busting Con-
test, with a diamonded-studed gold
medal and $500 for the winner and
carrying more than 81, 900 in consoa-
ton purses for the "unfortunates." 1"
Champions from Dewey, Pendleton,
Calgary and Cheyenne have signed
up anu Will pt Oii MANU- " ,ts oiiu
capture this beautiful prize from Har-
ry Henderson, an Arizona boy, who
now holds the championship.
Forty of the strongest, fastest and
most vicious steers of the range have
been secured by Arena Director Haw-
arth for the steer roping contests,
purses in which will aggregate 5000.
To those who do not know the West
and to some of the men of the plains,
the work of the artists of the RATA
will be a revelation. Pony express
and relay races will be run daily.
Horse races will be among the special
events. The experience of the last two
Frontier Days celebrations has taught
the management the events in which
the great Fourth of July crowds are
most interested and these will be
featured and numerous novel numbers
will be introduced to the Prescott
audiences.
The COW pony and the puncher will
not reign alone. No city in America
can offer so much of variety as will
be found in Prescott. Besides the
wonderful wild west contests, trips
can be made in every direction out of
Prescott into the pine-clad hills, and
one of the delights of those who will
attend the celebration will be a trip
to Lake Watson, which has ben form
ed by the empounding of the waters
of Granite Greek. Band concerts will
be rendered daily by a twenty-five
piece concert band. Low railroad
rates are in force on all points and
Prescott is well prepared to cater to
the crowd, both as to entertainment
and accommodation, which will at
tend.

Jesse {. Mitchell Dead

Word was received by Mrs. C. c.
Compton of the death of Jesse c.
Mitchell who died of paralysis at
Stockton, California, May 31st after
an illness covering a period of about
three years. He was As years of age
and a native of Sedalia, Mo-, and was
married in Flagstaff about ten years
ago, to Miss Clara Perine.
"Mitch," as he was familarly
known to his friends here, was line
man in the Santa Fe telegraph de-
partment and made this his head
quarters for a number of years. He
was a genial, wholesouled man whose
early friends in Flagstaff will learn
with sorrow of his passing. 1t was
thought that a shock of electricity
received during the course of his
duties brought on the disease which
caused his death. Mrs. Mitchell is
running large rooming house in
