 The scenery between Hayden and Ray was probably as beautiful as any ever seen by the visitors. It was found to be extremely cold in Ray. hut no one faltered when the word was given to plunge out into the rain and mud. The town was soon invad- ed, sheltered places being at a prenli- um. Through the efforts of Dr. Nor ton and Harry Welch of the chamber of commerce, an excursion was soon arranged to the number one shaft of the Ray Consolidated. Other parties made the trip up to the companys offices and to the Ray Con- club. All of the three hours spent in Ray were taken up in doing something. there was not an idle moment.

 Aboard the Train
 In order to while away the time spent on the train it was almost nee essary to go to extremes. One of the extremes was taking straw ballots on popular elections and questions. The first election to be held was for mayor of Phoenix. Corpstein won out over Young by q vote of 90 to 3S. To the great surprise of all, the train voted dry by S6 to 6S At the same time a ballot was cast for president. with Wilson lealing with 73 votes, Roose- welt 47 and Hughes 45. The biggest thing in t1e way of an election held was for governor. George Olney a candidate for that office was aboard the train He refused to vote for himself, but he had so many adher- ents aboard, that they won his elec- ton over Governor Hunt by a vote of SS to 26 Others voted for were Jeff Adams, Arch Cater. who re- ceived one vote and J. C. Adams, who had quite q loyal following.
 It was certainly q damp and dis consolate crowd that came into Phoe nix a little before ten o'clock. Many thinking that it was not going to rain had neglected to take along rain coats. They were the dampest
