ELKS DID FINE ADVERTISING,
 SAYS VISITOR
HOW THEY PRESENTED IT TO THE UNITED STATES AT THEIR
 REGENT CONVENTION

T don't think your people here ap- preciate what good job of advertis- ing for this territory as a whole and for the various leading cities in it the Elks did at their recent conven- tion," said one of Douglas visitors a few evenings ago. "I feel the more at liberty to say this because l am not an Elk and lave no personal req son for saying anything that is not true in the matter.
 The reason you uo not appreciate 1t is that most of you seem not to have been where you could see all the methods that were taken for that purpose and how nicely they were carried out; in short the people who stayed at home only knew of some little piece of the work and were not in position to see the work all togeth- er
 Few people who have not travelled the territory from end to end-and that probably includes the most of those who are living in it-realize not alone how rich but how diversified are its natural resources. In the way of presenting an idea of that diversifica- tion and richness, no one piece of the work done by the Elks at that conven- tion was more important than the dis tribution of 10000 booklets. beautiful I ly done by Neuner. of Los Angeles, ' in purple ink on glazed white paper, each page bordered with a delicate tone border of design appropriate to the territory. It contained a general description of Arizona, written by Mulford winsor, the territorial his itorian, and special descriptions of the cities of Globe, Phoenix, Yuma, Bis bee, Douglas, with the surroundings Of these cities, and of Cochise coun- lty. Every page contains from one to half dozen photographic illustrations Iof the resources and industries re- ferred to, or of the men who are helping to make the territory. Sur mounting all, on the cover. is a sym bolic picture in colors, which gives a very good idea of the Arizona float, which in quiet but forceful way was one of the most notable features of the parades and of the convention. This cover includes miniature photo graphic pictures, also done in colors, representing cattle, railroads, U. S proclamation service, ostriches, dairy, dates. sheep, irrigation. lumber, and lthe old Dominion and c. and A smel. lters. The book was compiled and pub
 lished by the order, by members of lthe Bisbee lodge, and gives a list of the business men all over the territory who assisted in It's publication. Of course reading matter. no matter how we'll done. is not the most appealing thing in the time of convention like that; but it Is one of the things that tare carried home by those who attend and that often have the more lasting and moving effect in the settlement of a country. Tn its quiet truthfulness and beauty it is safe to say that this booklet has never been excelled. II is great credit not only to the order but the territory.
 "A more spectacular piece of work, more effective to the eye. but perhaps not likely to have as much effect In giving a completely truthful idea O! the territory and in bringing people into 1t. was the Elks' float of Arizona, which was given the second prize for designs competing In the parade, but many think should have been given the first.
 "A third piece of work for which lthe Elks of the territory generally
