A train of thirteen cars, each one
carrying a huge banner covering the
entire car length, passing through the
settled section of southern California
on the way to Los Angeles will be the
greatest advertisement that Phoenix
and the territory of Arizona has ever
had. The ideas Of the southern Cali
fornians that Phoenix is a country
town and the ideas Of a number OF the
fasteners that Phoenix is a Wild ana
woody, unkempt settlement will be
rudely dispelled when the finest train
that has ever pulled out of the city
rolls into Los Angeles. Phoenix r. p
.. Il. No 335 on thirteen cars viii not
prove to be unlucky but will open the
eyes Of many to the size of the city
and to the enterprising people who
compose its residents. The train will
be as large as any that will pull into
the coast city and the fact that all of
the antlered herd who ride on it come
from the city of Phoenix will create
the idea of a considerable city and will
arouse a desire on the part of the
in the City of Angels at that time, to
get n glimpse of the capital of Ari-
IONA.
All Of the arrangements for the spe-
cial have been made and il is assured
that it will leave Phoenix at 4:30 pm.

Gals which will do much to advertise
the territory. A train Of eleven cars
carrying the Elks from Bfsbee, Globe.
Tucson and the neighboring country
will leave the last named city and will
follow the train from this city into Los
Angeles. The special from Tucson will
stop to carry the members of the Yuma
lodge to the reunion. In addition to
those carried by the special trains over
the Southern Pacific there will be the
lodges from Prescott, Williams, Flag
staff and other points in the northern
part of the territory who will take the
regular trains to the coast
Those from this city who desire to

be occupied by the delegates during
the sessions of the grand lodge

cupied by the visiting Elks during the
