Management of Farm Tells Conditions
Attached to Sending Them East

If the Elks of this city succeed in
making arrangements to take two gi-
gantic Ostriches from the Pan-Ameri-
can ostrich farm with them on their
excursion to Atlantic City, the Salt
river valley will receive a vast amount
of advertising. but it is not yet settled
that the cherished plan will materialize.
The superintendent of the farm was
seen in the city yesterday. and stated
that the permission Of the owners of
the ranch to sending the birds on their
long journey to the other coast would
only be given after the lodge had made
careful provision for caring for the
birds
Owing to the fact that there is no
one at present connected with the
Phoenix lodge who is in possession of
a diploma for skill in the management
and care OF Ostriches. it Will be neces-
sary for a caretaker TO be sent with
them from the ranch. 1t will also be
necessary for the lodge to insure the
lives of the birds. so that in case of
accident, sickness, or anv trouble that
would impair their value. the owners
would not suffer. 4. r. Cater,
prominent member of the local lodge
stated few days back that the birds
would be insured to their full value
and that the lodge would assume all
responsibility for their safe return.

The two birds which have been
