imparting information on all sub- jects. Do not jest with the travelling public; some of them may be looking for location. They do not know the heights nor the names of the peaks; neither did we when we came. The public at large will soon learn they can buy what they want in Flagstaff, and all are willing to pay a legitimate profit on wares.
 First and last, be courteous and exact"
 George Rabbit advises that we adopt and follow up systematic form of advertising" He believes we should, if necessary, employ an ener- getic, bright, resourceful man to take care of this advertising and at the same time push to fulfillment such plans for the building of the city as may seem most feasible. | q have a lot of faith m the future of this place." he says. "There is no other town in Arizona that can touch | it. We have the natural advantages in abundance. It is an ideal place to live in.
 People should, by systematic ad- vertising, be induced to come here and build homes."
 S. J. Gassman says:
 "The first consideration is hotels and homes. Next to that comes recre- ations, both summer and winter. And these recreations should be right here right in or next to town.
 "It seems to me that now is the time to get busy. There are many things that can be done this winter. When spring comes, our plans should be as far advanced as our dreams are now. We should be ready to jump right in, early next year, and do some, at least, of the things that we know ought to be done and which we can do if we go at it instead of merely talking about it. There is plenty of local pride and local interest in our future. There is no doubt about that. If we take advantage of the home spirit, and find practical methods by which it may be utilized, Flagstaff will grow, all right"
 Flagstaff has almost unlimited possibilities of growth" says George Verkamp. "With her unequalled sum- mer climate, pure water suply, and natural points of interest, she can and should attract people from all over the world. E4tsA g
 "There are two things that would immediately draw countless tourists, as we'll as permanent residents---the two things that we should never cease striving for--good roads and goo1 hotel and apartment facilities" Chas. w. Lehr advises: Get together. Get those who are holding property to either improve it or let someone have it that will. Get a building ordinance" un G. B. Gunter's ideas: Make Flagstaff distributing cen ter for all the northern half of the state. One or more good wholesale houses would doubtless be able to do a thriving business.
 "Open up this section and make it the recreation ground for all of the southern half of the state.
 By suitable maps and folders make | it easy for tourists to visit the nu- merous points of interest near our city.
 "Give visitors hotel accommodations similar to those accorded by the big Harvey Houses, and when the move ment already started for rooming fa- cilities has been completed, Flagstaff will experience healthful growth" G. T. Herringten boosts fSr good high school:
 "One thing that will very materially aid toward bringing and keeping a most desirable class of residents in Flagstaff is the development of 2 frst-class high school.
 "Such a school would make Flag staff the premier school town in the northern part of the state, would be a feeder to the Normal school, thus in- creasing the size and value of that school, and would close the gap in our school system, making Flagstaff a town where a family might be educat- ed in high-class schools from the primary grades up.
 "Such school system is a very great drawing card for any town. Our high school is in the process of de- velopment now; we have competent and energetic school board in charge, and the townspeople should make it their business to see that this board gets encouragement and support in their efforts"
 J. c. Kilmer suggests:
 "Abolishment of knockers and curb stone orators.
 "Unloosening of the money bags. "Laying of concrete walks.
 "Ousting the I. w. Ws.
