To PLACE THIS CITY
ON AIR MAIL ROUTE

The Aviation Committee of the
chamber of Commerce is to meet at
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, for
the purpose of adopting measures
which. will insure the designation of
FhoeniX as a station on the proposed
transcontinental aerial mail route.
The committee will also make some
temporary arrangement for accommo-
dation Of visiting aeroplanes until such
time as the permanent facilities are
available.
The meeting is intended primarily
to ascertain exactly what the gov
eminent will require of the city in re-
turn for the establishment of a station
at this point. While the matter has
been discussed in a general way, no
definite statement of the requirements
in connection with the installation of
sub-station has been made.
During the recent visit of the aero
plane mapping squadron it was stated
by Major Albert d. Smith, in command
that a landing field approximately
1000 feet long and 5000 in width was a
prime essential. 1t is also presumed
that the location of a stopping point
in this community will entail the erec-
ton Of hangar Of the regulation
type.
In the event that it appears likely
that the ultimate outcome will be
favorable, the committee will formu-
late an acceptable temporary arrange
ment to obtain until the project is COM
pleted. While no suggestions have
been advanced, it is entirely probable
that a request will be lodged with the
state fair commission and the COM
mission on public institutions to per-
init the use Of the fair grounds for this
pArpose.
The men who have been chosen to
comprise this committee are: Warren
Macarthur, Col. W. X. Glassford, A.
G.. Dulmage, Donald Dunbar. H. D.
McNay, w. r. Wayland, Webb Crit
Fin. G.. V. Gulley, c. d. Boyce, secre-
tary of the state fair commission, and
H. Is. Whitney of the commission of
state institutions.

DOOR REVEALS MUCH
BOOZE CONCEALED IN
HOT WATER BOTTLES

Attracted by an aromatic odor of
particularly pervasive and pungent
qualities, the local police invaded the
baggage room of the Arizona Eastern
railroad this morning and thwarted an
attempt to introduce 1892 worth of
whisky. The owner of the contraband
was not captured.
The consignment had been prepared
with the greatest of care. The in
toXicant was contained in one dozen
three quart size hot water bottles, in
geniously packed so as to eliminate
the telltale gurgle. The whole was
concealed in an expensive, new steam
er trunk, calculated to withstand the
toughest handling. The sole prepara
ton the shipper overlooked was the
suppression of the aroma
No clue to the identity of the in
tended recipient is in the possession
of the officers, though hints have
been dropped to the effect that the
man responsible for the introduction
of the "hootch'' was arrested recently
by the county officials.

To MARKET COTTON
Of ARIZONA SAME AS
STATES WOOL CLIP?

A plan for the financing and mar
keting of the long staple cotton crop
Of this valley is being presented to
growers by G. II. Corey, vice-president
and, cashier of the Peoples National
bank of Roxbury, Mass. The plan is
only an extension of the one by which
the bank has been handling the bulk
of the wool clip of Arizona for the
last ten years. 1t was suggested to
Mr.. Corey by Arizonans who were
interested in wool growing that there
might profitably be such an extension
and Mr.. Corey came to look the
ground over, arriving in the city on
Sunday.
The wool has been handled in this
way. The growers consign their wool
to the bank, which advances them a
certain part of the value of it, and the
bank undertakes the mareting of it,
for which service it makes the charge
of one-half of one per cent. If it
should be necessary to store it for any
length of time, there would be ware
house charges, but ordinarily the bank,
through its agents, arranges while the
shipment is in transit for its diver
sion at once to buyers. All other
charges, such as freight, are covered
by the commission.
Mr.. Corey, in the company of Harry
WEIGH, secretary of the chamber of
commerce, and Louis Gareche of Cox
& Gareche, yesterday visited several
of the growers in the western end Of
the valley, and in the afternoon, ac-
companied by II. J. McClung and T. E.
Pollock, visited Tempe, where Mr..
Corey met Grant Jones and other
growers in that region. This after
noon he will meet the growers of the
Glendale district at the offices of
Myers & Carrick, Glendale, and to-
morrow afternoon ne will be at the
Holmes Wooten store at Tolleson.

BROTHERHOOD CLUB
HEARS DR.. LE|TzELL

I'VE want to make the Deaconess
Hospital not only place to meet the
crying needs of the population but a
place to which the people can point
with pride
Thus DR.. c. E. Leitzell, of the Uni
versity of California, in an address to
the Brotherhood Lunch Club at the Y.
NJ. c. A. yesterday, defined the spirit Of
the campaign which is to be launched
shortly to increase the hospital facfli-
ties of Phoenix. This was the first
meeting of the Brotherhood Club since
the influenza ban was lifted.
The visitor was introduced to the
audience consisting of 100 of the lead
ing business and professional men of
the community, at the conclusion of
short speeches by Dr. W. W. Willkin-
son, Senator Harry Wilkinson and At
torney L. J. Cox. The talk was brief,
but radiating with optimism and conf
dence in the. success of the venture
He opened his remarks with a short
review Of his recent activities which
netted over $2,000,000 for Christian ed
ucational purposes. He impressed his
auditors with the necessity for conf
dence in the ultimate success of the
venture yet admonished them not 10
attempt to force subscriptions but to
ondeaVor to communicate their view
point to the objector.
How can it be done?" he asked. 81
hope some will say it can't for it is a
glorious thing to do the thing that can't
be done. I know some will strenuously
object at the start Many viii say thew
can't help cent but before the work is
ended, they will be the largest sub
scribers.
Il met a fellow once who said he
would not give me cent for my school
work. l didn't object, but just let him
| talk until he got my point of view Then
he gave me $4,000 Don't ask a man to
subscribe until he gets ready. Give him
your vision first, of the glorious priv
| ilege of providing this great work for
| the future ! don't want to back a MAJ
up in the corner and take his money
away from him. Get him out in the
open and give him a chance to run i
he wants to.
1T is a great pleasure to read that
Arizona leads every state in the union
in war work. A state that has been so
noble and generous to the nations need
will not be less mindful of the needs at
home
Now gentlemen, don't try to pick
your fruit while your trees are yet in
| blossom but send out your literatu
and inquiries; put the question square
~ UP to the people and they will do the
rest"

SALT RIVER VALLEY
LAUDED BY VISITOR

merchant, left last night, continuing
his trip to New York city. He prom
ised his Phoenix host, Jon- Hyder,
, that he would hereafter be a more fire.
quent visitor to the Salt River valley
as this was one of the most wonderful
countries in the world, and that never
in his life was he so surprised as at
the great possibilities and apparent
properties Of this section, notwith-
standing the fact that he had been a
California resident for thirty years.
Before leaving last night, Mr.. Baida
said: Il am grateful for having been
induced to visit this great place.
While I have always heard of Phoe-
nix, l was totally unprepared to see
the wonderful big cotton fields and
green alfalfa ranches with literally
thousands of fat cattle. From now on
/ shall be glad to be Phoenix booster,
no matter where l am. While 1 do not
wish, in addition to these statements,
TO make any criticisms, / am disap-
pointed in one thing-one thing only
good roads. I really believe that is
the one great factor to be considered
by Arizona people. That is the one
thing that will make this a complete
home country"
