Elks Reunion Asso- citation of Arizona. held ill Tue son March 21-22, has passed in- to history there are several feat ures of the gathering, which will be heard from in the near future especially the decislon of the or ganization to take steps to bring a number of elk from the Yellow stone National park in Wyom- ing to Arizona and place them on game preserve in the nor th- ern part of the state.
 Frank DeSnuza, the retiring president, in his address to the convention recommended strong ly that an effort be made to as- sist the grand lodge in the pre- servation of the elk, and especi- ally in the matter of provision against their starvation during the severe winters of the north.
 w. P. Geary, delegate to the convention and chairman of the corporation commission, urged the convention to provide for se- curing funds with which to fence a large district in Arizona and stock 1t with elk buffalo and an telope.
 The legislature will probably be asked tor an appropriation, with which to fence several thousand acres, and i'll this keep the elk and other animals, all of them under the supervision of game wardens, with heavy pen alties for illegal shooting.
 Phoenix Elks are loud in their praise of the hospitality of the Tucson lodge. The decorations, both public and private, were unusually elaborate ana turned the old pueblo into a city oi much beauty.
