church and chairman of the Centenary fund, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Salt River Valley produces every thing but tropical fruits. Included in Mir Towards plan is a farm where everything especially needed by these people can be raised-much of it by the people themselves.
 Add to this a climate without fog or damp, where the sick can be out of doors every day in the year; a large acreage within 20 minutes ride of growing city, reached by the best paved road and what more could be asked for in the way of location.
 The fact that a Protestant church of a thousand members is anxious to take hold of the. matter, and has done much preliminary work, as shown by letters Mir. Howard has from the gov ernor of Arizona, jurge of the supreme court, chamber of commerce, State Medical association, Y. M. c. A., Gen. the bank, and many other business men of Phoenix. He also has letters from heads of Centenary committees, who have the appropriating of the s105, ,000,0 900 Centenary fund of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 Does it not seem time that the pro- ject be given careful consideration, and by concerted action and support the people provide a place where thousands, instead of being drain and a drag, may become we'll and useful citizens? Sincerely yours,

 "26 Broadway, New York City,"
 At the time of the arrival of MT. Howard in New York where he went form Columbus, Mir. Rockefeller was at his country estate, where he was cele- brating his birthday. Mir. Howard pre- sented the letter to the secretary of the Rockefeller Foundation, along with one from Harold F. Mccormick, presi- dent of the International Harvester Co. and a son. law of, MT. Rocke- feller. In that letter MT. Mccormick vouched for the reliability of MT How ard who, he said, was relative of his mother.
 To Start with Large Sum
 The secretary said that the appi- cation of MT. Howard would be re- ceived and that the letters accompa ing it would insure it the most earnest and favorable attention.
 It is not proposed to proceed with the establishment of the sanitarium until at least s250,000 is available. That there will be a large sum derived from the Centenary fund, MT. Howard is as sured. That fund is now s127, ,000, ,60( instead of, $105, 900 000 and will prob ably reach $50, 900. The trustees of the fund have assured him that al in excess of $121,000,0 900 will be pro rated among the fifty -four hospitals ot the Methodist Episcopal Hospital as sociation, and that the proposed sani- tarium will be regarded as one O. 1 them.
 The Centenary, said MT. Howard was the greatest meeting the churcl ever held; and the pageant, which wa: a feature of it, requiring two night. | for presentation, beginning with thu l crucifiXion and resurrection of Chris 1 and picturing the spread of Christian ! ity to the present day, is said to hay, l been the most monumental dramati presentation ever attempted. MT. How ard will briefly describe the centenar. at the M. E. church this morning. 1 MT. Howard was in New York on tn day of the arrival of President Will son. He says that the state of unres
 in the east is almost indescribable
 One who is unaccustomed to it coul
 not live amid it. There seemed to b
 but one purpose of the seething mill | ions whom he saw, Ito cross the stree
 and go somewhere else" He visite
 the Statue of Liberty, climbed up tn
 BIT steps to the neck. but found tn
 upraised arm holding the torch closed
 It had become. so weakened that tn
 government believed it was no longe
 safe to allow admission to it.
