There is no question, Mr. Girand says, but what this part of the territorial road sys tem is destined to be the most popu lar movemen in the life of the under taking. The traveler from the south appreciates what is to be afforded him now more than ever before, and if the road was opened this summer, there would be hundreds of people coming through to visit all points of interest, and particularly so the his- j torical beauties of the north and the Grand Canyon. The fame of the Prescott stretch of the highway is uppermost in the south at the present time, and with the addition of other attractive country the road will tra verse, hundreds of tourists will be attracted here. The work on the Camp Verde and Flagstaff road is under prosecution diligently. It will afford an entry to the Grand Con yon, such as ih desired. From Flag' staff to EI Tovar a good road is available, and with a small expense that will be outlaved bv Coconino county, a boulevard will be establish' ed. The only obstacle at present lies between Prescott and Phoenix, and to remedy that condition is the motive for starting work between those two points, which is one of the most laudable since the territorial highway system was promulgated two years apo, GRAND CELEBRATION ' OPENED AT PARK Spectacular Broncho Busting Exhibition, Cowboy Races and Band Concert Enjoyed by Hundreds gram is to be carried out today.

E QUARRY F 1 (From Tuesday's daily) Considerable excitement is prevail ing m the Bouse country over the striking of an excellent grade of white marble, the discovery taking place several days ago and publicity given the latter part of the week. The news was withheld until the extent of the deposit was ascertained, which is said to be large, several feet of ground being stripped and a grade. of stone believed to be suitable for artistic purposes determined. The place where the marble was found is about ten miles south of Swansea, near the railroad, and among the owners is C. C. Thompson, assaver and metallurgist of Bouse. The quarry is being developed and as depth is reached, the owners feel sanguine of. having made a very im portant discovery. HEAWDOWNPOUR ON WILLOW PPFPK UllLLIl Mrs- W. W.

Sunday's rain storm, which trav eled from Lonesome valley to the south, was particularly heavy in the Willow creek section, where a vast amount of water fell. In fact, it is said by residents of that 'section, this storm m volume of water was the heaviest ever known there. The creek through was a veritable river, and several cloudbursts occurred in the higher elevations in the mountains. Prescott was on the outskirts of the storm, but experienced a heavy drenching, nevertheless. SOUTHERN TEXTILE MEETING. GREENVILLE,' S. C, July 1. Sev eral hundred mill superintendents and overseers attended the annual meet ing of the Southern Textile Associa tion here today. Hundreds of visitors from all parts of the county and southern Arizona arrived Sunday evening and yester day morning to participate in and enjoy the Fourth of July celebration. Weather conditions were ideal until after the cowboy race in the after noon when a heavy rain fell making the track on Montezuma street heavy for the pony race and flag picking contest. The skies cleared at 5 o'clock after the latter event was pulled off and the day closed with a band concert on the plaza. Many visitors from Skull and Kirk land valleys were present, returning last night to attend the celebration today at Carter's grove. A large number of residents of the city also left for Kirkland attracted by the en tertaining program. During the band concert and until midnight there was a brilliant dis play of electric lights at the court house adding o the gaiety of the scene where hundreds enjoyed them selves until a late hour. Broncho Busting. With a spectacular exhibition of broncho busting the festivities were opened in Athletic Park at 2 o'clock, Seven riders rode as many bucking mounts into submission and a climax in the pastime was reached when black broncho ridden by Dick Parker turned a half somersault catching the rider underneath, Parker sticking to I the saddle as the horse was assisted to its feet when it renewed its efforts to dismount him without success. Thomas Miller of Skull Valley was declared the winner of the first prize- He rode a dark sorrel twice, having broken a stirrup in the first ride. Herb Cook of Skull Valley rode a dark roan that won him sec ond money. Wallace Paget, who rode an incorrigible bay, was awarded third prize. The bay was considered the second hardest bucker in the contest but Paget rode well and al though he lost one of his stirrups . . ior a momenr was never in anv danger. The other entries were Charles Miller of Skull Valley, R. V- Fox and Harry Henderson. Parker, Fox and Paget are strangers. They are excel lent horsemen but showed no better form than the Skull Valley and Walker cowpunchers. All left last night for Kirkland where they will show in the broncho busting contest at Carter's grove today. The first pnze was $100, second $75 and third a $2o suit of clothes, contribut ed by the Biles-Lockhart Clothing Company. Cowboy Bace. Seven cowpunchers rode an exciting cowboy race on Montezuma street at 4 o'clock, J. D. Contreras of Prescott winning easily on a local horse with Walter Cline a close second. The track was heavy and the contest was keen between the mudlarks and the sprint ers. J. Van Dickson was third in this race failing to ride fast enough to get a prize. It was- rumored among the other cowpunchers that he was saving his mount for the con tests at Kirkland today which will be exciting judging from the large number of entries. Pony Bace. Over the same course Clifford Koontz rode to victory in the pony race closely followed bv Theodore Rybon. The contestants in this event urged their mounts to the limit as did the cowboys, adding much to the enjoyment of the afternoon Wallace Paget gaye a spectacular exhibition after this event riding north on Montezuma street at break neck speed standing in his saddle. Flag Picking Tame. The tamest event of the afternoon was the flag picking contest in which there were seven entries. Owing to the heavy rain that fell after the pony race the street was very slip pery making fast riding impossible. After three ties the first and second prizes, respectively, were awarded to Dave Berry and Dick Parker. Fox, Paget and Parker, visiting cowpunchers, who added much to the success of the sports of the afternoon, left last night for Kirkland where they will participate in the contests (From Tuesday's daily) today. They are good riders and al though they failed to land any of the first prizes in the events were com plimented many times for their ex cellent horsemanship. Fox said they hailed from Colorado while Paget ad mitted that he had punched cows in Texas. Today's Program 10 a. m. Motorcycle race, high powered machines, once around The Loop. 10 a. m.

YUMA EXAMINER HE ARIZONA BOOSTER (From Tuesday's Daily) The Yuma Examiner, in its issue of the 26th inst., fires the first gun in the fight started by the Prescott Chamber of Commerce to keep the nzona dollar circulating in the ter- tory, instead of cavorting around the California beaches. On the front page of the Yuma paper, two columns of matter des- ribing the opportunities for spending an ideal summer among our pines, are printed. Illustrations of Granite Dells, Montezuma's Castle and Pres cott's mercantile center, appear, fur nished by the Prescott Chamber of Commerce. Yuma, it appears, though close to the California line, is the first city in the heated section of Arizona to realize the need for keeping the home dollar within onr domain. Naturally, Yuma and the other cities which are cooperating with Prescott to di vert the summer hegira into Pres cott, will expect this city to boost and boost strongly for them; and it is this reciprocity that will draw the cities of Arizona together, both to friendship, wealth and thrift. Pres cott appreciates the courtesy of the Yuma Examiner. BMAT.T. MINING DEAL. (From Friday's Daily.) P.
