The chant of Choristers and the soft-footed pro ( ession returning from the grotto among the adjacent rocks to close the evening with service and sacra ment in tin- richly ornamented and wonderful cloisters of the mission chapel. It is a bit picked out from Asia. In rains lor hundreds of years, it is again living. The master build ers who wrought its wondetful de sign, who planned its towers, domes and divers details, are not known, bat their work will live long to tell the story of an early labor of love. From Tucson we journey south, fToing through Tombstone. Who has net heard of Tombstone? We know now why it was called Tombstone. The conglomeration of rocks, granite boulders, resembling nothing more than tombstones, are in evidence in every direction. No wonder the wandering prospector, in deciding upon a name for the locality, de ckled on Tombstone. Prom Tombstone we go to Bisbee, the great mining town. Here arc extensive mining interests, world lamed for their importance. The town is built in a narrow canyon or course to be near the shafts of the different mines. It is a verv interesting place to see. from here we journey to Douglas, which is built on the border. Douglas is called the 'Smelter Pity." Here the ore from the Bisbee mines is turned into copper. Across the line from Douglas is Agua Prieta Black Water, is the meaning. Several skir mishes occurred at this Mexican t wn at different times during the years of revolution in Mexico and a f w bullets were found straying in Douglas. From Douglas the road Journeys into New Mexico, and then to Texas. I.ttt our concern is only with Arizona. Pack to Phoenix to start again in another direction. This time we fol low our trip just taken, until we have Mesa, then instead of tinning south and east we keep on due east and take the trip to the Koosevol' i'am. Leaving Mesa our road runs Straight as the arrow flight to the foot of Superstition mountain, rugged, rough, and rising abruptly out of a level plain tins rock mountain, sheer-walled and savage, appears to e hock tlu way. But around the foot the road winds and we find a nar iow way not before seen. We are now winding and turning with easy grade, ever ascending, and always exclaiming as some new wonder is onrolled to view in this panorama like succession of surprises. No de scription cm convey the variety of color, contour and change that spring lffote the traveler. Now a deep chasm, dark and threatening, then a clear space affording a view of rock ridges, saw-toothed anil tinted every shade. The road at one point skirts great canyon. A thousand feet he low is Fish creek, and the little sta tion house, where we are to lunch, looks like a toy. The road is wide : lid with easy grade, and the descent f a thousand feet is quickly made. After the meal we are quiekly or. cur way. There is the river, we course along the bank. It is like a friendly baas stream of the east. Here it rushes over a rough bed of boulders and now flows silently be tween steep wails. Tip' road winds swiftly cm. makes a long easy climb (caving the river three hundred fee; below, and now making a last long turn, we find ourselves suddenly ar rested by the first sight of the great dam. Silent, solid, buttressed against and Into the sandstone foimation of the world, the third rock from Nature's laboratory, stands this huge atlas of stone, holding back-s world of water wealth, with which to make the level place in the valley below, bud, blossom and bloom, and make glad the hearts and homes of men. Half way up the face of the dam. out of two great tunnels, come streams of water they merge as one, then drop to sparkle and splash On the rocks one hundred feet below. A rainbow area hangs over the fairy field of spray and foam, giving promise of still greater blessings. Back from the wall of sandstone, stretching away for miles, is the great reservoir, the largest artificial lake in the world. Here, at the dam. the road forks, one branch going right over the top of the Structure, where the splendid road is twenty feet wide and parapeted and elec trically lighted. The other branch. and this one a part of the state sys tem, going southeasterly to Globe and other towns on the eastern portion of the state. There are other roads to travel, so again from Phoenix we start this time to the west for we want to find an outlet into California. from Ph'icnix the roael goes through Buckeye, Arlington and Palo Verde. Thes,. ttre farming communities and prosperous places. After leaving the farm belt we journey through the desert across the country in a straight line until we reach Agua Caliente Springs. These springs are very important. They have curative properties which are recognized by many. The time will come when they will be developed to the utmost. At present there is a fair hotel and the water can be utilized for bathing, but the extent of their possible de velopment is hardly realized. "Thou sands of Americans go each year to Furope and spend enormous sums eef money to get the benefits of waters which do not in the least compare with the valuable properties con tained in the waters of AgUa Cali ente." So said one of the most fam ous physicians of the country, in speaking of these springs. There Contracting Painting Decorating Paper Hanging Signs Carriages Or Autos HAVE DONE MR.

First Avenue I many very wonderful cures are al ready accredited to their influence. After Agua Caliente, the road goes again almost due west to Yuma, built on the banks of the Colorado river, and across the river from Cali fornia. The road is fair; some sandy places, but the bond issues of Maii copa and Yuma counties will make it a road worth while. There is an other road which runs west to Cali fornia. This road follows the same course as the one to Yuma to Palo Verde, then turns north and across the desert, crossing the Colorado river at Khrenbeig. This road is not used as much as the Yuma road, and the plan to make the Yuma l'hocnix road a good one. with money from the bond Issues, will lead more travel over the lower roael. (ioing back to the Roosevelt road, we find that on reaching Olobe the road divides, one branch going west to Rice, and then turning nortn through the While mountain coun try. This is a very lovely part of j Arizona. Great forests and splendid camping places, trout fishing and hunting abound. From Globe the other branch goes south, touching many of the towns in the southeast era portion of the state and then en- i tering New Mexico. The table of distances will be of j interest.

GRANT PHOENIX OSTRICH PLUME CO., 206 North Fifth Ave. DRY CLEANING TALK THE PROCESS DESCRIBED li is unfortunate thai the general public does nol understand the care that must needs be Taken and the responsibility that rests with the cleaner who does his work conscientiously and wel L, otherwise they would never trust their belongings to any hut a thorough master of the business and one whose moral and financial responsibility was unquestioned. "Dry Cleaning," in its true sense means, first the elimination of everyspeck f dust; second, the thorough cleaning bv some volatile liquid that ! ins tin necessary detergent powers without affecting the shape, color or sizing of the garment; third, the elimination of all obnoxious odors and the removal of all spots or stains not affected by the second treatment, but by no means the least important, the expert finishing of the garment. It is readily conceived that these processes must needs lie successfully con summated with the aid of mechanical appliances (and this equipment is both extensive and expensive), the prospective patron can easily determine the establishment to patronize in order to insure satisfactory results. if the term "Dry Cleaning" w;is more fully understood and not so often con founded with the mere brushing and occasional removal of the more promi nent stains, as is offered by some unreliable firms as "Dry Cleaning," the life and usefulness of many garments now discarded as valueless would be prolonged. The following firms are equipped to do the above work. PARIS CLEANERS & DYERS McKEAN'S, CLEANERS & DYERS ARIZONA CLEANING & DYE WORKS MRS. L.
