How It Was Arranged

It was after the suggestion had been made last January by a promi- nent railroad man of this state, that
 the board of trade leaped into the fray. At a meeting of the directors early in February, George A Olney of Phoenix was named as d commit
 tee of one to test out the attitude of the big mining men. The reception he met was most flattering. Every
 body he applied to was perfectly will
 ing to do anything to get the con-
 gress to meet here next fall. The
 result was that q day or two ago a special message was received by MT.
 Olney, stating that J. C. GreenWay,
 L. $. Gates. James Douglas, C. E. Mills, Norman Carmichael and A.
 Gottsberger would see that the neces sary fund of 5000 was placed at the disposal of the congress in plenty Of time to insure the expenses of the
 preliminary campaign. The big cop per mining companies of the state are supposed to be backing these six men, who are acting practically as a com mittee to raise the money.
 Given the five thousand, all that remains for Phoenix to do is to guar
 antee q hall capable of seating the
 delegates. arrange the usual enter tainments. and sit tight. It is estl-
 mated that it will cost the city about 5000 to properly entertain the visit ing delegates.
 | It is learned that there will be about 300 delegates to the conven- [ ton. This number can be comfort 1 Ably seated in several of the larger jauditoriums in Phoenix, so there will
 be no fear that room will be lacking. iAs to entertainment there can be plenty of it, for, if the congress ac-
 cepts the invitation, and designated
 some date between November 22 and December 21, it will find Phoenlx

LONDON. October l5.--The gloom
which has developed England since the
fall OF Antwerp has been somewhat
frightened by official announcement that
the allies are more than holding their
own dn the furious lighting along the
Franco Belgian border but this feeling
OF citation has been tempered by the
growing realization that the Russian
invasion OF Silesia, which was believed
TO be imminent, must be postponed in
definitely ipendinE the outcome of the
battle In Russian Poland.
Russia seems to have been compelled
to follow the steps of her enemy in
the west. and sacrifice the fruits OF
her victories by sending reinforcements
to another part of the long battle front.
The resumption of the Austro- G crma n
offensive in Galicia was an outcome
of the action of Russia in sending
heavy rcintorccmcnts to the River
| Niemen, evidently under the impression
that German invasion of the Su-
walRi District was real menace, and
not merely a diycrting movement. The
withdrawal of Russian forces from
Western Galicia, however, is regarded
here to be not as complete as first
reported, for Vienna admits that Prize
mysl is still invested on one side, while
PetroGrad reports that the garrison
OF this fortress has been invaded by
disease, and is on the point of capitu-
lation.
