 Yesterday afternoon there was a committee meeting at the board of trade rooms, the committee consisting of w. B. Twitchell, Fitz-M Mac and Gea w. Cowgirl, when the matter of secur ing the cooperation of the boards of trade of the territory and the raising of funds were discussed. Letters will be sent to the boards of trade in every town in the territory and their aid so licited. It is entirely a territorial af fair and not a local one by any means. It is a matter which every enterprising citizen of any Arizona town should take pride in furthering. The only reason for the selection of the Phoenix board to take charge of the exhibit and the one to be held responsible for it lies in the fact that this organization was most conveniently located at the shipping point and could look after the details handily. The funds will be raised among the corporations and mining interests of the territory. After the sum is sub scribed a competent man will be se- lected to take charge of the exhibit. The directors of the board of trade are already getting busy and will comply with the letter and the spirit of the governors suggestions. This exhibit will be thoroughly representative and up to the standard of the land which n 1907. The importance of a fine array of exhibits at this congress is hardly ap- preciated by many people, judging from the little interest shown so far in bringing to the board of trade the products which are wanted to make up the two car loads which it is pro- posed to ship.
