(BY SHARLOT HALL)

Thousands of people are here for Frontier Week; not just home folks, but visitors from all over the United States. They have come to witness sports of a kind and variety not to be seen in such perfection and magni- tudc elsewhere in the world That is something we home folks don't quite realize: we have seen riding and roPing and cattle branding and bron- Cho busting all our lives-such good work that we don't know it is really the best in the world and that Wyom- ing and New Mexico and Texas and all the rest of the cowman's country look to Arizona and to Prescott for the rules of the game when they play at big tournaments.
 Wouldn't it be wonderful to see the sports of this week as some of our visitors are seeing them-absolutey for the first time? Yet, | am not sure that it is not more wonderful to see tnem as some of Us home folks will-with a background of memories that reach back to the beginning of the great Western cattle ranges as a business.

The First Frontier Day In Prescott.

Look at the gay Frontier Day crowds thronging down our streets;
 listen 10 the click Of heels on con
 crete sidewalks; the groups of visit
 ors under the awnings in front ol
 substantial buildings which contain
 merchandise that would do credit to
 . hundred-ycar-old city-all about Us
 m abounding plenty the things which
 make up the life of the civiized world today.
 We are not very far now from London and Paris and Rome-jost- ling shoulders with us are our boys,
 our own Arizona soldiers, who have lately walked the streets of one or all of those old-world cities and, for the honor of Arizona, as well as for the honor of the United States, taken their part in the greatest war the. world has seen.
 Not very far away, that mother land of Europe-not nearly as lar. away from Prescott today as Pres colt was from the rest of the United States on that first Frontier Day on July Fourth, 1864.
 Forget inc crowds and gay sports shut your eyes to the streets and buildings and soldiers ill khaki. Now open them again and look! Forest forest primeval. All the axc-scars so new that they gleam yellow in thc.t sunlight Giant pines towering away on every hand. with little open spaces between green with tall grass and bright with a wealth of wild flower. l
 On the beautiful bit of level park where now our whitc-wailcd court house stands are the largest pines of all, and scattered jumpers of noble proportions, with ccdars and oaks climbing the hills in every direction.
 Where the tiny stream of living {. water winds between narrow banks !. thick with moss and heavy grass and water plant, there is a wide jungle ! of willows ou both sides; an almost impenetrablc jungle ovcrsrown and eniangled with wild hop vines, grape ! wings loaded with green clusters of fruit, and white-Aowercd, sweet scented cIcmaGs in full bloom
 Following along the water you will !. find now and then tree trunk gnawed by beaver and a deeper pool marking a beaver dam. The few narrow, dccply-troddcu trails that come down to the water have been beaten by the feet of deer and ante Iope aud the silent passing oi mocca- sin-clad feet
 If the willows have fallen back a bit and left a tiny sandbar or gray ! el-marzcd ripple you twill -.o l.r little fish dart along in wonder 1Gd hide in the muddy water where soilc man in rough dress bends ol.r ,h, 1 stream slowly and dcitly turning and shaking the sand in a shallow pan perhaps sitting yellow nuggets and 1: dust into a buckskin bag.
 Placer gold That is what brought the white men to Prescott. First the sleek and shining beaver skins orough. the trappers to whom the , Indians showed bits of gold in the sands then the trappcrs showed the dust as they brought the skins in to 1 the fur markets, and the miners . flooded in like flashing spray from I he waves of gold-scclers that had S ,vcrnowcd California.

 To Our Pioneers.
 Let Us make this week a great re- newing of friendships, a great gath ering together of the evcr-lessening number of early corners. Let Us try to preserve every record of early days that may by any chance have failed to be set down, and mark if we can the historic spots that are already almost forgotten.
 Look for the Journal-Miner Rest Room out at the Frontier Grounds and make it pioneer headquarters.
 And While We're Getting
 Acquainted Again.
 Let's take a big look between times at the stores that nave grown up in Prescott and with Prescott since Don Alanuel Yrissari unloaded his little stock in the early winter of 1864 and started the first store in a log shack. A mighty long way the $ years since then have carried Us and there isn't a merchant ill Prescott whose stock will not interest the consider ate observer. Let Us use this holiday week to get better acquainted with our own tradespeopIe and with what they have to offer us.
 Most of All
 Let Us make this goodieIlowship week; time for knowing everybody better-ler us remember that the in tercsts of our State are one-that we must prosper and grow together, from the Mexican line to Utah and from New Mexico to California. All Ari- zona is ours and we must never for get the greatness of all in our love for any one locality.
 Even so let us welcome our visitors from other Statcs-remcmbering all ways that: "Thcre is no East and there is no 4. West,
 Border or breed>or birth, When two strong men stand face to
 face
 Though they come from the ends
 of the earth.'

before they found their batting eye in the fifth frame Then a single by Disbin, abetted by two errors and a hit batter, gave the soldiers a three run lead So far the game had all the earmarks of a pitchers battle, as Yates also worked good, holding the visitors to four scattered Hits.
 With the sixth, however, came the real exhibition when Sapp took the box for the home team. Allowing the first man to single, he famed eight of the remaining batters who faced him in his four innings of work. He showed those present that he is in great condition for the series this week.
 His teammates started swatfest exhibition in the last half of the sixth, and never let up till they had swelled their total of runs to IA. Pug Diskin raced around the bull ring for a home run in the sixth, but was disqualified for not seeing the touch me" sign on second. Spider Kelly brought the crowd to it's feet in the fourth with grandstand catch in deep short, doubling Greenlaw at second on the rebalangc. Big BilI' Moore got back from Los Angeles in time to catch the last two innings for Sapp. He was well satisfied with the showing of his men and declares that they are all "rarin' to go," and that this means that the visiting cow hoys are not the only ones who are going to make the dirt fly during Frontier Week. The soldiers will hold their final practice this after noop at the ball grounds.

BRATTLEBORO LOOKS INTO

Will BE Represented mt Hearing on Pc
titiOn to Define Trustees Powers

Brattleboro. March IA committee
appointed by the board of trade and con-
sisting of Charles A.. Harris, Howard
c. Rice and Miss Mary ]. Donnell to-day
engaged counsel in Boston to enter a
general appearance In the supreme judi
cial court in Boston in a petition brought
by the trustees of the Thomas Thomp-
son trust for an order defining their
rights under the cours's decree for the
distribution Of the income Of the Thomp-
son estate. 1t is probable that a pub
lie meeting will be called to determine
a course of action. The trustees are
Richard B. Bradley and John F. Moors
of Boston. In the last IS years the
trustees have expended $4,000 of the
income along philanthropic and CHART
able lines in this town and Rhinebeck,
N. Y, the towns mentioned in the
Thompson will, but many people here
think the fund is administered on too
narrow lines and that the town is en-
titled to more money than 1t receives.
The trustees have announced to the peo-
pie of Brattieboro that hereafter the
amount spent here will depend to some
extent on how much the people them
selves give for like purposes, their idea
being not to impoverish the civic spirit
of the community.
