GOVERNOR CAMPUS FAMOUS MILITARY BAND MADE BIG HIT AT THE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL STATE FAIR-WHILE SECRETARY A. LEON
 GRAJEDA, AS GOVERNOR CAMPUS
 REPRESENTATIVE WAS IGNORED

The state of Arizona has been in the State Fair bus for exactly thirteen years rather there have been thirteen State Fairs held within the confines of the boundary lines the last four of which were really state tars the previous being territorial days They have all been good some better than others each succeeding fair just te better than it's predecessor But this last that closed its gates the public last Saturday night was far ahead of all its predecessors that comparisons would odouS.
 Much of the real of the State Fair can very properly be laid at the door of the recent County Fair Yuma for at this latter that Governor Campbell of Arizona first met Governor Canu of Baja California Through this meeting very pleasant and let all hope lasting friendship sprung up between the two governors Governor Cantus famous military band accompanied him 10 Yuma and the band together with Governor Cantus charming simply captivated Governor Campbell so much in fact that he extended an urgent invitation to Governor Cantu for him and his staff and band to visit the State Fair the honored guests of the state It was i'm possible for Governor Cantu accept the invitation be- cause o prior engagements but he very gracouSy sent his band and his military secretary ST. Antonio Leon Graeda who will be remembered passed through Yuma Tuesday of last week with the band and spent several hours in our midst to the great delight of all citizens who heard the band on that occasion.
 At the request of Secretary Graeda and upon invita- ton of Governor Campbell was my great honor and priv ege to accompany the secretary and band to Phoenix We lett Yuma the night of the thirteenth for the Thirteenth An Hua State Fair and those two reens proved very lucky for Yuma county. At any Yuma County won FIRST PRIZE for the first time in the history of Arzonas state airs But that feature will be treated in separate story
 When we arrived in Phoenix early "Wednesday morning we were given most cordial greeting by Governor Camp bells master-ofceremonieS Private Secretary MalcomI Fraser accompanied by Hon Oscar Rugge assistant sec etay ot the State Fair Commission both of whom boarded our train before stop at the depot Without ceremony we marched the Adams Hotel which was our headquarters all during stay except the first night when had the pleasure of bunkng the roof garden of the Jefferson Hotel in company with that prince of good fellows, Dr. T. L. McCutcheon of the Yuma Drug Company who had accompanied us to Phoenix
 At that day all dined at the fair grounds and from the moment Governor Canus band struck the first notes o the first piece until the last night of our delightful every time it struck musical note After playing all the afternoon at the State Fair the band rendered musical concert in the rotunda of the Adams Hotel that night There wasn't room for another human being within that spacious building and told that thousands tried to enter the coors but simply couldn't half get inside The next day the same program was carried ou-concert the State Fair and concert at the Adams Hotel that night while on the thd night after again capturing the immense throngs at the State Fair the band serenaed Governor and Mrs Camp bell their cosy little home just on the edge of the city limits At this latter function the governor and his charm ing and handsome wife had invited many friends as could possibly be accommodated in their home and it was rare treat to them all to hear the Canu band on that occason for 1t almost eXceed itself in the rendition of several cas ScS and popular Mexican airs winding up the serenade with the Mexican National anthem and the Star Spangled Ba The next and last day about the same with the exception that at night after playing several airs in front of the Columbia Theatre the entire band was given rest by nductng them into the opera house where they remained long they desired and then went to their quarters for
