Cameron and Melville Gillett of
Philadelphia. Pa, and Peter Boul
and c. E. Van Ness of Las Vegas,
New, comprised the party.
I'VE are not here to view the
scenery or to enjoy your wonderful
desert climate, although We appre
ciate both" said one of the eastern
members of the party; but We are
here to look over this section with
the view to aiding in it's develop
ment. We are not Interested in any
particular section to the exclusion
of the other. We are interested in
the entire southwest. as, indeed, are
many other eastern men who are
learning of the undeveloped natural
resources which you have here. May
we have the aid of the Phoebe peo-
ple?"
Distinguished Men Make Up Party

not the word to use in connection
with such distinguished men. r. II.

Ask Cooperation of Local CItizei
These are the men who visited /
oche Sunday morning Tor the pu
pose Of looking over this section
the southwest with the view OF al
ing in it's proper development. Aga
it seems strange to use the Wol
aid in connection with such po'
erful men who represent such mlgh
forces, yet they insisted so pleasan
ly upon enlisting the aid OF the loe
people that the main point shou
not be lost. These men realize Z
value of cooperation. Trained
they are In affairs OF size in wnl
they are themselves closely assoc
ated, and trained further in obserV
ton of other business enterprls
and other human endeavors thfous
out this country and abroad, they
alize the value OF teamwork III |
proper accomplishment of wor'
while deeds. And they realize I
criminal waste in productiven'
caused by the reverse in whlch III
work at cross purposes. Even
structive criticism, which is ,sho
ened to the more commonly uS
term of "knocker," and Vlcl,
trait which causes many man nv
trouble in repairing the damage u'
by the handy hammer, finds IN TN
men no ear. And realizing the va
of collective effort in the creation
industry, based upon the soma u
ural resources Of the district, u
asked for the help OF the local p
pie. So graciously was the requ
made that it would be strange
deed if it did not bring instant
sponse from those worth while.
