AT WORK FOR SAN|TARIUN
Local Lodge of Moose, With Cooperation of Phoenix Board of Trade, to Re ceive Supreme Lodge Of ficer With a Mission

Although a formal committee was named at the last meeting of the Phoe- nix Lodge, Loyal order of Moose, to provide a fitting reception and enter tainment for William Trickett Giles, supreme secretary of the order upon the occasion of his visit here on Fri day of this week, every member of the order is a self constituted booster for Secretary Giles and the object that brings him here. For as announced already in the Republican, the special representative of the Supreme Lodge of one of the strongest orders in Phoe- nix comes here not as visitor but bearing a business proposition that no citizen, whether a Moose or not, can well afford to Ignore.
 For many months the Loyal Order of Moose embracing hundreds of sub ordinate lodges, has been working for the establishment of a Moose sanitari- um for tuberculosis. Dozens of sec tions of the United States have been advanced as the ideal location for the institution. But the claims of the Salt River Valley as advanced by the Phoe nix Lodge seem to have been most favorably considered. for after visita- tions have been made to almost every other section of the country, the su- preme lodge has ordered that this dis trict be most carefully considered. Now comes Secretary Giles, practi- cally empowered to say whether or not Phoenix possesses the ideal site for the sanitarium. And that the ideal location | is to be found in the Salt River Valley | within a few miles of this city. is the ! claim of every member of Phoenix | Lodge, No. 70S.
 | Indicating that there is more than fraternal interest in the proposed sanl- | tarium, the Phoenix Board of Trade l has named a committee to act in con- 1 junction with that of the lodge. Roy l Carson. George N MacBean, J. c. | Adams. Walter Hayt and C. G. Reum | constitute the Moose committee ar ranging for the coming of the supreme lodge officer. Prof John D. Loper, J. B. Gillespie, L. E. Bigley, J. C. Adams, J. A. Moore, Frank D. Lane and George N. MacBean constitute the committee | named by the Board of Trade.
 Secretary Giles will arrive here at
 6:45 o'clock on Friday morning and will take breakfast with Governor | Hunt. A dollar lunch will be held at noon at the Hotel Adams when all in- terested in the project to bring the
 sanit9rium here, are urged to be pre- sent The afternoon will be spent in a
 tour of the valley and an inspection
 of the sites available for the proposed
 institution In the evening a mass
 meeting will be held, probably in the
 High School auditorium. All these
 are mere details.
 The combined committee will meet
 at the Board of Trade rooms tomorrow afternoon at o'clock when final ar rangements will be made for the re-
 ception of the distinguished visitor
