MILE HIGH, THE
 PLACE TO LIVE, RECOGNIZED

| This month s issue of the Columbi-
 ad, the official paper of the Knights
 of Columbus, published at New Hay
 en, Conn, contains the following arti-
 cle on Arizona, in which is a splendid
 tribute to this city:
 Much has been said and written of
 Arizona in the last few months by
 public men and the press of the eOun-
 try. The publicity given to the new
 state, and its recent admission to the Union, warrants the assumption that
 the more than a quarter million read
 CTS of The Columbiad should be inter- ested in the Knights of the new state.
 At the present time the total mem
 bership of the Order in Arizona is slightly less than six hundred in num-
 Der, but an active campaign for mem
 bers is being made, and it is expected that this number will be materially increased within a short time. The six Councils of the state are admir- ably situated in the largest and most important eenters of population, and will reap many of the advantages that are looked for under statehood.
 Bisbee Council, No. S69, is located at the active mining city of Bisbee, in the extreme southwestern part of the state, has the largest member ship, and is the mother Council.
 Tucson Council, No. 1900, is well situated in the city of Tucson, the metropolis and educational center of the state.
 Globe Council, No. 115s, in the city of Globe, is in one of the best min ing sections of the country, and has the distinction of beng the nearest Council to the famous Roosevelt dam
 Marcos de Niza Council, No. 11S9, at Phoenix, the capital of the state, is a rapidly growing Council, and bids fair to outstrip in numbers any in the southwest. The prospects of this Council are extremely good, as Phoenix is an enterprising and pro- gressive city on the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad and in the !! center of the irrigated lands of the Salt River valley.
 Yavapai Council, No. 1O32, enjoys i the distinction of being the second ! Council installed in Arizona. This | Council has splendid prospects of , growth, as Prescott is the financial, ] industrial and commercial center of | middle Arizona, and the county | seat of Yavapai county. The noun | tains of this section are rich in min i erals, while the many fertile valleys | afford good agricultural opportunities. ! On account of the high altitude, the . climate is very temperate and invig i orating, so that many are attracted | to this section on account Ofthe pleas | ant condition as well as the material ! advantages that are offered. Pres colt, widely known as the "mile high l. city" and 1.-the place to live," is said to be the most beautiful noun tain town in the Rockies.
 Da Silva Council, No. 1929, is Ari- | zona s baby Council, but though last is by no means the least. Located | in the city of Flagstaff on the main line of the Santa Fe, some seven . thousand feet above the sea, it is in at least, one of the highest | Councils of the Order.
 The state officers for the ensuing year, elected at the adjourned meet ing of the State Council, at Prescott, | are as follows: H. Wm. Stevens, State Deputy, Prescott; Frank De- Sousa, State Secretary, Phoenix; E. J. F. Horne, State Treasurer, Pres colt; Andrew Martin, State Advo- cate, Tucson; Jas. H. Welch, State Warden, Globe; Rev. Father C. Vabre, State Chaplain, Flagstaff.
