BOARD OF TRADE DECIDES ON
PLANS FOR FAIR WEEK.
Discusses a Delicious Luncheon at The
Same Time.

The directors of the board of trade
held a meeting yesterday at l2:15 at
which they discussed a very excellent
lunch and a number of plans. Par
ticular attention was given to the well
come and entertainment which should
be extended to the San Diego chamber
of commerce excursion and also to the
visitors from Los Angeles and Sar
Francisco.
AS usual when il comes to sugges-
tions. the secretary of the board of trade
was right on hand with the goods
This time he had a perfectly gorgeous
scheme-here it is-when the train
pulls in with the san Diegans. there
are to be 50 fine looking boys and girls
from the high school there to meet X.
real right-up-tO-t the minute hustlers
with arms full of roses, one of which
is to be pinned on every man woman
or child that gets off the train. OF
course they have roses in San Diego
but not Phoenix roses, they don't grow
any other place on earth. a fragrant
American beauty will look good TO
people that have just gotten in from
dusty ride and those citizens of to-
morrow, the boys and girls from the
high school, will look better yet. Those
youngsters keep enthusiasm right on
tap and they are going to spread 1t
around. The San Diego folks can't
help catching it.
Yes it was a gorgeous idea and the
board said so. Then the Boy Scouts
are going TO get busy. they are to meet
the other trains and act as escorts and
guides TO Phoenix fair week guests
The welcoming is not all going to be
left to the boys and girls however, the
board of trade will have it's represen
tatives to meet the California trains
and any body else who wishes to do
so may constitute himself a committee
of one, go right down and be just as
gracious as possible.
The board of directors also approved
an order for 100 copies of the Kansas
magazine containing F. Dumont Smiths
article Phoenix Arizona and the Salt
River Valley which will appear in the
issues of November and December.
The subject of the Trans Mississippi
congress which will meet in Kansas
City, Missouri. was talked over. The
board of trade will appoint delegates to
this conference which gathers to dis
cuss a number of matters of interests
to the western states.

Land Show to be held in Chicago, De-
cember g. also came before the meet
ing which discussed desirable speak
ers to crate on that particular day.
There are to be lectures during the
whole fourteen days of the show.

The plan for having a flower
festival here i'm the early spring was
laid aside until a later date when a
committee has been appointed and has
time TO report.
