(San Francis
 The Flying Legion of the San Fran cisco Commercial Club returned yes terday from a boosting tour of Ari- zona, tired, but happy at the result of the trip to Phoenix and Prescott The delegates who arrived yesterday are satisfied that the trip will bear good fruit, as the boosting at the Arizona State fair and at all points at which stops were made has aroused great interest, and the directors feel confident that Arizona fully appreei- ates the importance and necessity of making the best exhibit possible at the 1915 exposition in this city.
 Following the boosting excursion will be a special night at one of the local theaters, where the moving pie lures taken on the trip will be stown, and a boosters luncheon at the San Francisco Commercial Club next Fri day.
 The directors intend to hold special booster meetings in this city to fur ther arouse the citizens to the neees- sity of getting behind the great ex- position. Duncan MeKinlay and other speakers will be called upon to ad dress those meetings, and moving pictures of the Panama canal and other scenes will be exhibited.
 Frederick J. Roster, leader of the Flying Legion, the newest activity of the regenerated San Francisco Com mercial Club in the exploitation of the worlds exposition, in an inter view said:
 Declared a Success.
 fThe initial excursion of the Ely ing Legion was an unqualified sue cess. Our visit to Arizona was of extreme importance, emphasizing as it did the necessity of faee-to-faee meeting of men truly representative of San Francisco with the people of Arizona in developing the spirit of the west and the need of harmonious relations between the two states. On the trip was organized the flying legiOn,' and the fifty-seven delegates who formed the nucleus of this body of citizens have pledged thmeselves to contribute their time and their money toward this great work of concentration of effort for the up- building of the west, a work in which ! San Francisco, the natural metropolis of the Pacific slope, must necessarily i take the lead.
 "'It is clearly evident that this or ganization will become veritable !! Loyal Legion in which citizens of California will esteem it an honor to have their names enrolled. Member ship can be secured only by going or one of these excursions. Every | member will wear the gold button of i the Flying Legion stamping him as one who has done something for his | city. his state and the west. Dele | gates from the Flying Legion will visit other states with a view to eementing friendship, and through i that to secure their participation on a larger scale, not alone in direct expenditure of money on exhibits and buildings, but in the numbers they will send and the sentimental interest that they will spread con- corning the .west's great exposition of 1915"
 Should Co After Trade.
 A. C. Rulofson, president of the Home Industry League, said: "It was an unqualified success from the stand point of boosting Phoenix fair, which was the primary incentive of making the trip. Secondly it result ed in giving wide publicity to the fact that we were awake and that 1 San Francisco was going to have the finest exposition in the world.
 'And we have convinced the peO- pie of Arizona that it is to their in- terest to join with us, as they realize it is as much an Arizona fair as it is Californian. We certainly have sue ceeded in getting them to pledge | themselves for at least a $25O,O00 ap- propriation, which will probably be increased as the magnificence of the avnositiou develoDs
