 resentative body of men ever left a
 city in the United States on such a
 mission. It may also be eonjeetured
 fairly that never did a delegation of
 fifty-seven business men so thorough
 ly represent every line in commerce
 as that which staid only too brief a
 time within Prescott's hospitable
 borders, Sunday.
 In speaking with one of the leaders
 of this live wire party, it was brought
 out that no less than twenty-five per
 cent of the volume of San Francisco s
 industrial, commercial and banking
 wealth was represented and mostly,
 too, in the persons of the highest
 officials of the companies and or
 ganizations sending emissaries.
 As to the publicity department of
 the junket, this could not have been
 placed in more able hands than those of Lewis Levy and FreS s. Myrtle,
 tried journalists of the deepest dye,
 who looked after every item of news
 that could be gleaned, not only with

 This famous "flying squadron' of boosters for the Panama-P Pacific ex- position of 1915, sounded the key note of the great event to grace that city in the near future, in Prescott Sunday morning and formally intro duced their boosting campaign. They remained but a few hours and were hospitably entertained, Mayor Gold water and R. \. Fredericks, president of the Chamber of Commerce, formal ly welcoming the distinguished guests. Characteristic of the Frisco citizen, they were at home from start to fin ish, and with that zeal and ardor that typieally illustrates the average resident of the Golden Gate city, the pace was fast from beginning to end and was permeated by a fellowship 1 that made the coming event of the west deservedly popular here. The guests of the city were rushed from the depot to the Yavapai club, in au- where covers were laid for | one hundred, which included fifty-six of the visiting delegation. Mayor Goldwater was toastmaster, and in mood that was graeed by Hassayampa greeted the argonauts of the Pacific. On behalf of the visit ors, Duncan MeKinlay, surveyor of the Port of San Francisco, responded. His address was a strong tribute to the cause of the exposition, and his of the facts showing the project to be of great importance to the entire west was one of the most and instructive operations that has ever been heard in this city. He is a brilliant orator, and the frequent applause that greeted him in approval of his affection for the west of the Rockies, in particular and the nation in general 70 ably depicted, showed that his ad- lress was admired and appreciated " all listeners. His address was con idered one of the ablest that has .ver been heard in this city, and en- ,raeing as it did, the industrial con- iitions of the country, was a treat | hat received the eommendatiOn of I very one present.
 After the members the party were aken over the city in lively ride f half an hour, they boarded the rain and soon were returning to the . rest.
 Their departure was marked by a I lrge number of people being eOngre- ated at the depot. Fruit and candy, | n daintily made boxes with souvenir uff buttons, and other mementoes of he generous city, were distributed, q nd with the good will of all the jolly c ccasion ended t

In his speech f; welcome, Mayor Morris Goldwater e minated his regret that San Fran C sco had fallen behind in the volume U business done here.
