Now we VIII continue our western
trip with Ford.
Dear Aunt Madge:
After day Of rest In whitman. we
went into Boston Tuesday morning and
looked about the city tin our train left
on the New York g. Albany r. n az 3
p. IN We passed across the whole
state Of Massachusetts, and the scenery
was beautiful Lakes and winding
streams Of water were in sight All OF
the way, winding IN and out OF the
green ver3ure. We passed through
many villages and farming ccsamuni-
ties but everywhere the crops and
grass looked backward our way led
as through the Berkshire hills in
Massachusetts,. and the scenic effect
was wonderful We saw nothing IN
the Middle West to compare with H.
II was dark when we reached Albany.
y. r. but the city looked like fairy
land with its myriads Of twinkiing
lights
Wednesday morning found US IN
Canada, and we saw much to admire
In that country. The houses and harms
were neat and well kept. Many OF the
farmhouses were Of brick and built IN
Colonial style. Great herds OF Here
ford cattle were grazing In pastures as
smooth as the grass fields In Maine.
Lovely elm trees bordered all the
pastures and cultivated land and the
English hawthorn was in bloom every
where in the fields and hedges. Many
hne horses were grazing with the cat
tie. but much OF the farm work in
Canada in done with the tractors.
Toronto was the largest city we passed
through, and it was a city OF many
church spires
Michigan state came usxt. The farm
ing lands there were very similar to
Canada, but the homes were not as
good. The crops were not looking well
In this state owing to the backward
spring. There are many vineyards In
Michigan. The grape-vines are set out
IN rows far enough apart 70 be Guilt

grape juice is made In this state, and a
delicious sam called grapelade. Many

Henry Ford builds many cars. but were

from the train.
Wisconsin came next. and we were
strongly reminded OF Maine, as has
hills and valleys very similar in char
acter TO our own State. We saw large
fields OF grain. but not many potato
farms. Great herds Of Holstein cattle
were seen on each side OF the track
as we passed along. but we missed the
lakes and ponds that we have in New
England, also the Wild flowers that
grow so ab1ndantly in Maine and
Massachusetts, We missed the apple
orchards. also. anathe houses and lawns
were not eeautined with flowers and
shrubs, but the long rows OF corn were
perfectly straight and many OF them
were a mile In length. Men and
horses were cultivating the corn in all
OF the extensive fields. They rode the
cuitivAtors and harrows here, making
IL easy for the men, and we saw no
women at work In the fields tin we
reached Minnesota.

NOTED SINGER FINDS. HOME OF HER YOUTH
 REMARKABLY CHANGED

Phoenix is certainly the wonder city. l could not have believed such a change possible had I not returned and seen it with open eyes. have heard that my own home city had de- veloped into a metropolis, but what have actually seen here dwarfs all that | have heard"
 In this manner Marie Tiffany for | mer Phoenix girl, who now sparkles | among the brightest of the stars of | the Metropolitan opera company, de- | scribed yesterday her sensations on | returning to the city from which she set out nine years ago on a path which 1 has taken her to the heights. She Is here to give a concert recital at the Elks theater this afternoon and even ing.
 But while many changes are ap- parent in Phoenix" she continued, there is noticeable here the same spirit which distinguished the city when I left it. It is the spirit of pro- gress. of development. and, in no small measure, the spirit of adventure. My home now is in New York. but it will be a long time before l forget Arizona or this city,
 Nine years ago Marie Tiffany began the career which was to be an emi- nently successful one. Going first to | Pasadena, Cal, she entered upon solo
  | byterian church, singing also with the | foremost musical clubs there. In 1912 | she went abroad and containued her studies in Europe until the outbreak of the great war. when she reteurned | to the United States. She resumed her work in California until the fall | of 1914. when she went to New York "as a matter of expansion" as she said yesterday.
 Almost immediately she had pri- vate hearing before MT. Gatti- Cazazza, which so impressed him that she was offered a two-year contract with the Metropolitan opera company-a con tract which she has since renewed. She also took up concert work when not busy with the opera, appearing prin- cipally in the states of New England, the south and the southwest. She has | just completed five weeks of concert work and has another five weeks tour outlined in Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, . Oklahoma and Kansas. She will then go to New York for the opening of the opera season at the Metropolitan.
 Her greatest successes last year were with Geraldine Farrar in a re- vival of "Zaza," with Caruso in Doni- = zettis Elixir of Love" in the world 1 premiere of ''Blue Bird" and in Krei- bers English version of 'Parsifal.' I which marked a new epoch in the mu- sical world. The scenery for this pro- |, duction was conceived by Urban, anC Orville Harold had the role of Par :. sifal."

though all other service into Phoenix was similarly crippled.
 To guard against a repetition of yes- terday's delay the management com pleted arrangements. at great ex- pense, for a second wire to the playing field. Should one wire go down, the second will immediately be brought into play.
 The board proved a gigantic success once it did get in operatfvp and fans were kept on their toes throughout. Persons who think there is no interest in the big tilt at Brooklyn should have been at the Columbia yesterday and heard the fans roofing fin mid-season form when ever an opportunity pre- scented itself.
 The second game of the series today will be played at Brooklyn. meaning that 1t will start at II o'clock Phoenix time. Doors to the Columbia theater will open at '10:sO o'clock sharp and

Professor Boss and Dr. Wilson represent the Car negie Institute and are making tour of the country to select a site for a big new observatory.
 While the observatory location will not be determined until the two scien- lists return east and make their re- port, they said they had received a favorable impression of Phoenix as a possible site. The proposed observa- tory, it is understood. will with its complete equipment cost about s1,- 100000.

wire connections with the playing

wire connections with the playing field will be established at 1o:15 o'clock, to insure against delay.
 Lineups, batteries. attendance and pre-game gossip will be carried on the wire prior to the start of hostilities. Once the game starts, however, there is no opportunity to record anything other than the playing of the game itself
 Profiting by their experience fin the first game yesterday. the scoreboard promoters have made detailed arr engagements to assure fans the very best service obtainable any place in the United States. even to the extent of installing a second wire at almost prohibitive expense.
 The third game of the big series will be played at Brooklyn Thursday. The teams will then. rest over Friday, re- newing the battle at Cleveland Satur- day All games at Cleveland will start at 10 o'clock noon, Phoenix time.

STREAM OF MOTORISTS
COMING THIS YEI..r.

NJ I.~Powers president of the Citi-
zens bank and one of the most enthu-
siastic boosters of the National Old
Trails Road, in telling of the improve
ments that were being made in Coco
nino county this year. stated that he
expected $4,000 cars to pass over the
route during the year. While this is
a high figure we believe it will be
reached. Last year indicated what we
may expect during 1920. and the peak
OF travel over this great highway will
not be reached in many years. Mr..
Powers and others in Coconino county
are doing everything possible to make
the roads into boulevards, so that the
travellers may get the picturesque part
of that county with the least possible
discomfort. t.--Mohave County Miner.

EXPERT TO MAKE PHYSICAL
VALUATION OF GAS PLANT

The city council held very heated
meeting in the City Hall Friday even
ing relative to the purchase Of the
local gas plant for municipal use and
AS was stated before
the plant was offered for the sum of
$22,500 which all seem to think is a
fair price, but the argument, which
was started by local tax payers. was
that before buying the city should
have an expert gas man make ply
sical valuation of the plant, together
with an estimate of the amount that
it will take to put the plant on a pay
ing basis and to extend the mains to
those who wish to use the gas. The
argument finally prevailed and the
Council was empowered to procure
the services of an expert gas man,
and if his report is satisfactory and
his estimate not too high for the bond
issue. the people will have the op-
portunity to vote upon the question
within the near future.
