ROOM LISTING CAMPAIGN
Appointment of L. N. Jesu- nofsky as Meteorological Expert - Special Appa ratus Wired For-Point- CTS for Visitors.

That there may no longer be any doubt in the mind of anybody as to the certainty of the aviation meeting here next week, The Republican an- nounces that C. K Hamilton;s bi-plane arrived here yesterday morning by Wells Fargo express. winning the first record or the meeting by being the first to arrive MT. Hamilton is not expected before the 9th, but he for Warded his machine in ample time so there could be no disappointment through railroad schedules or minor accidents
 The machine is not yet on eXhibi- ton for there is no one here au- thoriZed to take it out of the custody of the express company. but the fact that it is here is inspiring. It is packed in four huge boxes built for that purpose. The dimensions Of the two larger boxes roughly guessed at lex3I- feet and sX5x2i. feet. The other two boxes are large but con Sidertbly smaller than these, and the whole shipment weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 pounds. The boxes are reinforced and put together with unusual care that there may be the least possible danger of injury to their contents in the incidents Of rail- road travel
 An incident of yesterday was the ap pointmrnt by the Phoenix Aero club 0f Weather Bureau Observer l.. N. Jesunofsky, NJ. l. .. O. II. F.. T. F., to an important position This is not a joke. except the affixing of the al phabet to the name. and that is not solely for humor, for the initials stand Tor MT Jesunofsky's new title, name ly Meteorological In Charge Of High Elevation Temperatures and Pressure" It must be understood that this is not merely flying machine exhibition like those being held in different parts of the country. but Is to be the Second Aviation Meeting in America. where the flyers will strive for records against anybody who cares to compete. To get a record 1t is necessary to know accurately what has been accomp iished, what the altitude is and the atmospheric conditions. etc. and there is nobody more competent to take charge of the scientific and rneteorO- logical end of the event than Mir Jes- unofsky. AS soon as he was request et to serve in that capacity yesterday he wired to the weather bureau office in Washington asking that there be sent to him immediately by express a kite meteograph. This is d device consisting Of an aneroid barometer. a self registering thermometer, and self registering hygrometer for record ing the conditions Of moisture in the air. This mechanism is encased in a -fsir. 4rin the steel and weighs not to exceed four pounds. Mir. Jesunofsky will also con duct at the same time a series of eX- perimental observations.
 Further expanding on the scientific feature of the show the club asks that :l couple of able bodied and brave hearted, public spirited engineers who have a seXtant and know hoW to use it. volunteer their services to the club, tn Keep measurements on the altitude of the flyers as q further check against error. unless the aviitors go so high the mundane observers cannot follow them. and in that event it may be as- stunned that the records are broken. When these volunteers have come for ward they will be given the rest of the letters in the alphabet not used in MT JeSnnplShN tue.
 The aero club yesterday received from the committee of the Elks lodge q letter formally acceding to the re- quest of the club to repeat their per forInance of "A Night in old Bo- hemia'' next week, and naming the dates February 10 and II. as already announced.
 The campaign for rooms brought much better results yesterday and Mir. Allen said he felt confident there would be no trouble in caring for all the visitors who will come. Nobody should think of staying away from Phoenix for lack of accommodations. Ii will be a lot of trouble to Phoenix peo- t,le to take care of the crowd, but Phoenix will do it just the same. That feature was duly considered before the project was undertaken. The pro- inoters satisfied themselves it conld be done if Phoenix was willing to do it, and yesterdays results indicated that Ph"enix k willing. This talk lbout r"onls had to be made loud in order to make ihe well disposed peo- pie of Phoenix hear if: but it is the task cnt out for Phoenix and not for the visitors. so they may not be dis turbed by what they read.
 The prudent visitors though are urged to write or wire or telephone the aviation headquarters and make
