PRESCOTT IS IN LIME
 LIGHT AT SAN DIEGO
tFrom Fridays Daily.)

ceived at the Chamber of Commerce, Prescott is getting considerable pub licitv in connection with the delega- ton which was sent to boost for the S2OOOOOO tuberculosis sanatorium.
 The San Diego Sun, of date July 20. contains the following articles. which appear in various parts of the paper:
 "A very warm fight is on between various cities that want the tubercu- losis sanatorium that is to be estab- lished by the Moose somewhere. The biggest and noisiest bunch of boom CTS came from Prescott, the Mile High city of Arizona They came in a special car headed by their mayor, w. H. Timerhof. The party includes prominent business and professional men. Phoenix, the metropolis of the Salt River valley in Arizona, is also boosting for Arizona as a Mecca for consumptives and is, incidentally, telling of the advantages of that dis trict.
 "El Paso, Texas, has several hust- ling delegates who want the sanatori- us located at their city.
 There is also a group of men who have an idea that Nashville, Tenn, possesses the advantages that are re- quired. The Tennessee men say they have some mountains, too, and the delegations from Silver City, \. M., and Prescott then laugh.
 "Prescott's boomers came into town yesterday and marched up Broadway to the Grant in a shower of money-'Moose money It jinglcd and shone as it flashed in the sun shine and the crowds scrambled for it as an attractive souvenir. A big banner, 40 feet long, told who the visitors were. but the broad brimmed Stetson and the big noise was bet ter indication that the COW country was among those present" ."
 "'Prescott has a good chance to get the sanatorium,' said Mayor Tim erhoff today. We understand the city chosen will be one best fitted to help consumptives get well. If that is the case, we are sure to win out. The United States government and other great authorities have agreed that the consumptive who has a chance to get well will get well quick CT in the attitudes of the arid South west than anywhere else, providing he has pleasant surroundings, ample food and proper attention. Our city is extremely beautiful with its vista twice as big. Another strong feature is that we have an unlimited supply of the purest mountain spring water. The whole community is interested and the local Moose lodge has many helpers who are not now members of that organization
 Prescott, Arizona, one of the strongest contenders, will be recog- nized by two men. one of whom, Dr. John w. Finn, is tubercular expert of national repute. Prescott's mayor, w. H. Timerhoff, who, with 40 more is in the city fighting for the big project, will also be present"

 "H. H. Jones, of the Prescott dele gation wears the biggest hat in the It is a typical Arizona cowboy hat, and has aroused the envy of all the Eastern delegates, many of whom never saw anything like it.
 "E. C. Veil, another of the Pres citt bunch, is also there with the som orcro. The hat is almost bigger than ne is.
 "Aaron H. Powers, who is here rom Prescott, publishes a monthly paper known as the Yava Pai, or like that.
