The machine is equipped with q
counter, showing the number who
try out the scales, and at Tuesday
noon time 1868 people had stepped
on the platform.
This means that no small number

CALIFORNIANS WILL LOOK
OVER SOUTHERN ARIZONA

With d primary object of meeting
directors Of the Arizona Industrial
congress to plan definite program
of cooperation in Arizona colonial
ton, and with an equally important
purpose of learning more of Arizona's
rapid progress and future poSsibili-
ties, a score of leading citizens OF
southern California will come here the
first of next week for a three or four
days visit. The delegation will be
headed by the Arizona Relations CONF
mittee of the Los Angeles Chamber OF
Commerce, and will include twenty or
more prominent business men and
bankers of that city.
The Californians will arrive in
Phoenix Monday morning, November
IL, and the program of business and
entertainment mapped out for them
will bring them into touch with the
principal industries, and several Of
the larger communities, OF the state:
Monday, for instance, they will be
shown the agricultural empire of the
Salt River valley by members of the
Phoenix Realty Board; be entertained
at lunch by directors of the Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce; spend the aft
ernoon in business session on colonl-
cation and trade relations with direc-
tors Of the Industrial congress and
representatives Of other organizations
and be guests that evening at pub
lie banquet rendered by the Industrial
congress.
Tuesday will be spent in seeing
first-hand the Salt River project. That
morning the party will go to the Nor
mon Flats dam, and thence by boat to
the construction camp at the Horse
Mesa damsite, for lunch as guests of
the Salt River Valley Water Users
association. In the afternoon it will
go on to Globe by Roosevelt, and that
night Globe citizens, through the
Globe Luncheon club, will tender
banquet. Wednesday morning the
visitors will be shown through the
mines of the Globe-Miami district,
and in the afternoon be driven to
Tucson, where the Tucson Chamber of
Commerce will entertain them at
dinner. If+they can stay another day,
they will spend Thursday in Bisbee
and Douglas.
The visit of the delegation will be
an important step in the colonization
plan proposed by the Industrial con-
gress, in which southern California
bodies have pledged their support as
means of establishing closer trade
relations with this state.
