Come to the Land of Winter Roses, See Phoenix for $2S0" are the captions of an attractive invitation to tourists and homeseekers which was issued yes terday from the Republican Print Shop for the use of the business men and residents of this city and vicinity.

Incidentally they carry the invitation to winter in Arizona among the roses in the land of Gods great out doors, and tell the traveller just how to get here.
 Connections and train service from Ash Fork and Maricopa to this city are outlined, as well as facilities for con- tinuing the journey to or from the coast, so that the traveller, whether he go via Santa E'e, Southern Pacific or Rock Island, will have no difficulty in making arrangements to visit Arizona s winter paradise.

MUD SCIENCE D|D THIS ENGINEER LITTLE GOOD
Reclamation Party Boss Down in Waterhole in Spite of D. w.
 Murphy's Presence.

Ole Stick in the Mud has lived up to his name, and the R. A. R. es- capped with his life, with his shoes unsoiled, and with his back not cramped from pushing. It occurred this way:
 Reclamation engineers have a habit of permitting a reporter on the Ari 2ona Republican to make voyages with them into the far and distant parts of the valley. It has been even so for some considers be time. Oc casions have fitted around, however on which the reclamation engineers and their participating guest have walked back, to the hearest farhouse, or to some spot in the road where kindly motorist might pick them up. In other words, touring acci- dents-tliCse little happenings that make the sport a sport-have been frequent.
 When Drainage Engineer D. W. Murphy arrived to inspect waterlog- ged lands, he was, of course, piloted about in Project Manager Fitch's car. l Believing that with a drainage en- gineer in the party, no possible harm could befall, no, mud prove too deep | for his expert skill to conquer, the guides-being Messrs Fitch, Hanna and McDermith were cordial and very inviting. But no. The reporter had other things afoot-anyway, he missed the party.
 Way down west, there is a place where clay banks rise up under the soil, until they nearly reach the sur face. and above these clay banks waste water has a bad habit of col ] lecting. Alkali washes up from below and the land is no bueno DOT nada

 Murphy was taken west To gain a point of vantage, Mir. Fitch had tc drive through a malevolent looking puddle, but urged on by his com

These lands at the time OF the original

Of considerable coal deposits, but the De-
partment Of the Interior now has decided
to open the lands to surface homestead
ing, the only reservation being that the
title to any coal existing therein shall
remain with the government for the ben
eft of the indians of the Fort Bethold
district. This arrangement insures the
development by the homesteaysr of a de-
sirable agricultural section of North

The Fort Berthold lands are in Mon
trail and Mclean counties, reached from
the city Of Minot. include lands desig-
mated as first class agricultural lands
