WELSH RETURNS FROM
 LOS ANGELES VISIT
The Board of Trade Bureau Is Well Established and Showing Re-
 suits Already.

Harry Welch. secretary of the Phoenix board Of trade returned home yesterday morning from Los Angeles where he went to open the boards s branch office and exhibition booth which is located in the southeast cor ner of the exhibition hall in the Los Angeles chamber of commerce build ing The booth is under the direction of Mrs George w Cowgirl formerly of this city, who is well advised as to valley conditions and as tO the pur- poses of the bureau. It is believed she will prove a very competent off ciaL
 The bureau is we'll located having windows on two sides, is very nicely enclosed in front and is attractive as well as convenient The front as well as the inner walls are closely hung with pictures of all kinds from pho tographs to large panoramic views of the valley the reclamation project and rural scenes Tn the center of the booth are displayed such representa- tive products and preserved fruits as were available at the time of open ing and these will be added to from time to time. The Les Angeles cham Der of commerce has volunteered to do all the preserving of the fruits and vegetables sent for display with out charge. Its object is to have uni formity in all the exhibits in the building and it is also a very fine thing for the Phoenix bureau.
 Some time ago a moving picture man was here and secured fine film of valley scenes. This is now ready and the, moving picture ma chine is on hand and in readiness. Numerous stereOpticon slides are be- ing prepared and beginning october 1st there will be frequent free lec- lures and picture shows given in the building to all who are interested. A lecturer has not yet been employed but there are several applications and a competent person will be decided upon in due time.
 MT Welch says the bureau is al ready being taken notice of and he expects the finest results from Il during the winter No less than five letters of inquiry were received here yesterday from California points with in short distance of Los Angeles In answering these, each inquirer will he asked to call at the bureau at his earliest convenience when in Los An geles and look over the exhibit and get such other information at first hand and from personal inspection, as may be available. One of the plans of work will be that whenever Cal ifornia inquirer addresses letter to the Phoenix office of the board carbon copy of the reply will be sent to the Los Angeles branch so the di- rector there will know when the in quirer appears, just what information he has had and what he is seeking In like manner, any information or letters furnished from the branch of flee will by carbon copy be transmit ted here, so that each office will know constantly just what the other is doing In the same way each or flee will daily transmit to the other a brief bulletin of a few words re- citing what has been done there; the number of callers what they wanted or are interested in, where literature in quantity has been supplied, also any timely mention of special persons who may call in looking up large en- terprises, etc These daily bulletins may not take more than a hundred words or so but each office will con- stantly be in touch with the other so there will be perfect cooperation
 During the few days MT. Welch was there after he got the office open he sent out 5000 folders to be put in racks in hotels and prominent places all over the coast. He now has request in to the reclamation service to furnish him with 25.000 copies of the services booklet on the Salt River project for use in a sim liar way Mir Welch says work is also proceeding on new and up- to-date map of the valley, 25.000 cop ies of which are to be printed and distributed in the same way. The bureaus of publicity conducted by the Los Angeles newspapers and maga- zines have also been supplied with valley literature and there is no doubt but that a big crop of inquiries will be harvested from the seed thus sown
 While in Los Angeles MT. Welch made headquarters at the Sierra Madre club and there being no press club in the city, last Sunday morning he gave an Arizona breakfast to a few newspaper men at the club, as the result of which he secured sev- -eral very pleasing local notices for the valley The menu was as fol- lows:
