-'C 4'Ai'NlI- ltllti. SlhiiS Et-dSoi.S why the Moose Tubercular Sanitar- River Valley. has been mailed to all members Of Phoenix Lodge. No. 1oS, Loyal Order of Moose:
 Dear Sir and Brother:
 To secure the hearty co-operation
 of every member of Phoenix Lodge 70S. Loyal Order of Moose. and the support of the citizens of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley generally, in our effort to secure the location of the Million Dollar Tubercular Sanitarium in the Salt River valley we are submitting for your earnest consideration the following reasons. why the Salt River Valley is the logical place for the proposed Sani- tarium.
 FIRST-Clmatic conditions cannot be excelled. We have a maximum percentage of sunshine: q great even ness of temperature during summer and winter and day ,nd night; ! minimum rainfall and comparatively no humidity. The valley is free from cold air currents: free from snows and severe frost. and free from swamps and marshy lands.
 SECOND-Geograp aphically the Salt River Valley is the center of Ari- zona. The altitude is suitable for tubercular trouble. We have dry sandy soil good water and good transportation facilities all times of
 the year.
 THIRD-We have fresh vegetables fruits. eggs. milk and meat the year round.
 FOURTH-We have the largest percentage of cures compared with other countries. Diseases are more easily arrested and controlled, the recovery period shorter and the average human liIc longer here than in most places.
 FIFTH-The establishment of the Moose Tubercular Sanitarium in the salt River Valley would mean an initial expenditure of q great sum of moEev in the erection of build ings. preparation of grounds. install lation of water. sewer and drainage systems, and other necessaries, such as dairy, live stock farm implements, etc. This would mean q source of revenue to the lumber dealer, the hardware dealer. the plumber. car penter, builder and laborer Every merchant in Phoenix and the Salt River Valley would be more or less benefited. After the sanitarium is, once established q great amount of money would he expended for it's upkeep.
 SIXTH-The establishment of the Sanitarium in the Salt River Valley would also mean that Phoenix and the Salt River Valley would be per petualiy advertised. not for day, 2 week or q wear, SUt for all time toI come. among every Loyal Moose inI the world. now numbering over six hundred thousand in the United States alone. Imagine how tar! reaching this would bc--over 60n000 people directly interested cOntinU- ously reminded of and talking toI their neiGhborS and friends of the Great Moose TUbercular Sanitarium located m the Salt River Valley near Phoenix. Arizona. Through this me dium alone the wonderful climate wa have here the great possibilities and resources of the Salt River Valley would reach the ears of millions of interested listeners. The result would be immigration to this section, the continuous growth of Phoenix and q 1 greater development of the salt River Valley. which means prosperity for all.
 You can help us to secure this l Sanitarium by becoming directly in i terested in the matter and getting vour neighbOrs and friends inter ested We are working for a stronger organization-an organization that should not fail to accomplish re- suIts-therefOre We are asking you for your earnest and hearty co-oper- ation.
 We have been granted a special dispensation for the express pur- 1 pose of giving every interested per son in Phoenix and the Salt River l Valley an opportunity of becoming a member of our Order for a small | consideration The initiation fee has been reduced to $5.0a- This gives the person initiated, full member ship and the. right to all sick bene- l fits, funeral expenses and privileges | granted by the border.
