THE PUBLICITY EXCURSION
An ARMY OF PEOPLE WILLING TO take 4 HAND IN THE
JJNKET. ". j. BREWER EXPLAINS HIS TREMENDOUS
PLAN FOR ADVERTISING NEVADA

Since the announcement of the con-
tribution by William j. Brewer of
of Pullmans and diners TO
equip a Publicity train to New York
and return, with the genial Brewer
to foot the bills, the Publicity Com
mission has been deluged with appli-
cations from people who are anxious
to boost Nevada by riding on that
train.
Now it is impossible to answer
these inquiries at the present time
as the commission has not sufficient
clerical force to take care of the cor
respondence. The train will nos go
for several months yet and the per
sonell of the party will be matter OF
careful selection.
1t is furthermore an impossiblity
to pack all the people who have al
ready applied into that train even
by piling them on the roof.
Each mail brings applications from
people in California who hardly re-
garded Nevada as ON the map, who
are more than anxious to go along
and help boost the state
Some of these people have forward
ed voluminous credentials endorsir 3
their ability as boosters.
For the benefit of all concerned il
is here stated that the Committee
having the train in charge will issue
the invitations at the proper time
and the personnel of the party will be
selected without any refence wha.-
ever to personal application.
The Goldfield Tribune OF Sunday
has the following:
.."Nevada has done much for me-.
feel indebted to the state, and wan'
to do something for Nevada and the
west. The men of the west are build
ing an empire here, and the east
hasn't found it out yet. Il think the,
ought to know about it."-"Judge'

My plan is to make this an of
