 Colonel McCIintock, chairman of tn,
 advertising committee, also referred
 to the free advertising the valley i: securing, largely through the Roose-
 welt dam. He took the cheerful view
 however, that the people who go away every summer give the valley more advertising than it secures in any other way. Not a knocker goes out of Phoenix, but every resident who spends the summer elsewhere is con stantly telling what a fine country
 this Is and what a fine climate it has most of the year. Colonel McClintcok
 spoke of the absence of jealousy It would be the best thing that could happen for Phoenix, he said, if Tue son and Prescott could grow to be cities Of 100000 apiece The popula- ton of this city is increasing more rapidly than more than a few per sons realize. said the speaker, who, as postmaster, is in a position to know. In conclusion he urged every member of the board to cooperate with the directors. giving them their assistance and ideas. Don't let the directors do all the work" he said
 One of the most interesting ad- dresses of the evening was made by A. C. Bartlett of Chicago, president of the Bartlett Heard Land x Cattle company, His talk was largely along advertising lines and the uncertainty of results. The present mode of ob- taining publicity is excellent, he de- Clared, but much of the seed must of necessity fall upon stony ground He told of an experience of his own in Maine, where he thought he saw an opportunity for some effective ad- Verusing. Buying two or three col umns in a local paper he inserted a Writeup of the valley and offered to pay the expenses of a representative of any colony on d trip to this sec tion. He received not one reply. That did not convince him that his idea was bad one, but that the ground in New England is stony
 One of the things urged by Mir. Bartlett was that Phoenix be built in the future on some definite plan. He referred to Chicago, which must now spend $3Oo,OOO.OOO to rectify the mistakes of the past
 Perhaps the most striking statement made by Mir. Bartlett was that here in Phoenix he found the most perfect cooperation he had ever found in any community.
