STATEHOOD SPECIAL
ELKS TRAIN ASSURED
important Notice to Prospective Ira
Velers. Roosevelt a Probable
Guest.

The reservations for the Elks' spe-
cial to Detroit are coming in continu-
ally and the success of the project l.;
absolutely assured. the entire space in
three sleepers being practically already
reserved.
In order that there may be no un
necessary equipment ordered to oh0e-
nix. and also that there may be suf-
ficient sleepers. it will be necessary
that all berths reserved paid for by the
27th of June, which will give the rail
road company sufficient time to order
additional sleepers or cancel unneces-
sary equipment.
At this time of the year there is such
a demand for sleeping cars for special
trains throughout the United States
that a sleeper is a thing in great de
mand.
Arrangements are being made in
Detroit to send an invitation to Col
Roosevelt. and it is expected that he
will be the Elks' guest some time dur
ing the reunion. The mayor of Detroit
has transmitted an invitation to Col
Roosevelt by special automobile mes
senger. which was delivered to the
colonel yesterday morning on the
wharf at New York.
This special train viii act as the
first big advertisement of the new
State of Arizona, and the Elks lodge
of Phoenix, therefore. feels that it
should receive the hearty patronage
ard support of every citizen of the
valley who contemplates a trip to the
east and who can in any way regulate
his date of departure in order to use
this train. 1t is not a question of a
donation or a favor, it is simply an
opportunity to ride on probably the
finest train than has ever passed
through the territory. Assurance has
been given that nothing but high class
electric lighted equipment win be used
throughout.

The ballot box in the contest de-
partment of the Boston Store is the
receptacle for a continual stream of
ballots either sent or brought lin by
the contestants in the Young Ladies'
Popularity Contest
The entrants are finding that after
they have made the start, it becomes
easier day by day to secure the votes.
1t viii really become fascinating and
it will be a satisfaction to know that
after one has secured votes on a few
sales slips that the purchasers will in
turn save their votes and will be so
interested as to tell you of others
who will no doubt assist with their
votes for the asking.
If people see that a contestant is in
earnest, the contestant will find that
they viii take an interest in her and
be more than willing to help her
along.
They simply want to know that the
contestant is in the contest and has
some enterprise in her aspirations for
the honor and the pleasure that go
with winning a trip.
SCORES RAN HIGH YESTERDAY.
Saturday was a busy day. The
voting started early and ran up until
the store closed. 1t was apparent
that the customers saving sales slips
were much more interested in their
favortes than they were in statehood.
The ballots will be counted today
and the standing of the contestants
will be published tomorrow.
SPECIAL PRIZE THIS WEEK.
Here is another offer in the Boston
Stores Young Ladies' Popularity Con-
test-something not before promised:
Besides the thirty day vacation trips
To Santa Barbara, with all expenses
paid, the selection of the chaperon,
and the 500 suit extra to the grand
winner, a Drucker steamer trunk,
made especially for ladies' use, will be
awarded to the contestant securing
the most votes during the week end
ing Saturday, June %.
The trunk. which is on display at
the Boston Store, is the perfection of
the trunk makers art, and is most
desirable article to possess. Nothing
more appropriates could be offered as
a special prize i'm the big trip contest
COUPONS TO BE ISCONTINUED.
The voting coupons printed daily in
The Republican and Gazette will not
be published after Wednesday. June
% All of these coupons must be vot
ed not later than Saturday, June 25.
The votes that count rapidly are the
ones issued on sales slips, and il is
much easier for the contestant to get
5000 votes on a SO sale slip than to
lose time by clipping 500 coupons from
the newspapers.
