COMBINE WORK AND
 PLEASURE ON BIG TRIP
(From Sundays Daily.) (By H. H. Krauch)

llldllCI OI luS SSlCNtAOli Ol llAS ollN AOA tubercular sanatorium in the hands of their investigation committee this city is practically assured the big $2,000,000 project.
 This statement is based on the fact that in the committees report, Pres colt Is the only city which is men toned favorably in regard to every thing. Fl Paso, Prescott's strongest rival was practically eliminated when the committee reported that that city was rather dusty and windy and had not the surroundings of many other places. Other cities with the envir- onments were too cold i'll the win ter or else had too many cloudy days. Prescott Is the only one of which nothing unfavorable was said. The boosters who talked with the prom inent Moose officials and the com mittec itself have not doubt i'll their minds for they are certain that the | Moose intend to establish their san atorium in or near the Mile High city. It is firmly believed that if the big Mooseheart institution was complet- ed and all payments made the con vention after hearing the committees report, would have voted the big new institution for the Mile, High city and construction would soon have started. As it is it probably will be but couple of years before such is the case. Phoenix did not have a chance and its delegation knew 1t. They were asked to swing over to Prescott but they could not see it that way. They were pulling for Arizona as q whole.
 From Prescott, Arizona, to San Di- ego, California, in every town ard city with a population of from 20 to over 100000 the Mile High city was hilariously and officially put on the map, in an up-to-date manner, when the special car carrying the delega- ton of 25 Prescott business men made the trip to San Diego in an effort to bring home the big Moose sana- torium.
 Each burg and village, every town and city on the entire trip of more than 700 miles had its attention called to the fact that there really is such a place as Prescott, and that it is thriv- ing and that it consists of real live bunch of merchants and professional men who have way of their own of advertising The mayor, county of hcials, attorneys, business men and prominent doctors were on the trip and their high standing added weight to everything that was said and done.
 In the larger towns and cities the newspapers were informed, and through them Prescott obtained more publicity, which went far and wide. In San Diego itself, Prescott had publicity men on the job and the pa pers as a result spoke generously and favorably of the Mile High city and its busy delegation. Besides the newspaper publicity delegates were buttonholcd at every corner by this city's eager and willing workers. The hotels were canvassed and every where a Moose could be found he was bound and hog-tied with the smooth lines of archaeological data of his Prescott friend Half of the men wore the large Frontier Days hats and with Prescott pennants pinned all over them they made very impressive ights-sights which at tracted attention and are very seldom seen in San Diego. People would stop in the busy seaport city and turn around and gaze at the big broad brimmed Stctson hats.
 Dictator H. H. Jones of the local lodge conceived the idea, just before the special left, to take the Moose money used at the Frontier Days con sessions down to San Diego and dis tribute it. Just before the train left | Prescott. and while the boosters were buying their tickets, two suit cases full of real Moose money were rush ed aboard Nobody took the trouble to count it but over $100,000 in coins and bills filled the bags. Upon reach ing San Diego the delegation, headed by Mayor Timcrhof, paradcd down Broadway throwing money right and left to the crowds along the curbs. Following the mayor came four of the boosters carrying one of the long signs which were on the special when it left Prescott. On it was written: Moose Sanatorium for Prescott, . Ariz" The rest of the delegation throwing money far and wide brought up the rear. The paraders broke up in front of the U. s. Grant hotel where headquarters were maintained
 After the train left Prescott, amid , the cheers and good wishes of its
