 SAN DIEGO, URGES COAST RESORT TO. JET ACQUAINTED WITH THIS STATE.

What can Arizona offer to San Diego? Thousands of good, big hearted people who are looking for some place to enjoy the summer; millions of dollars of dependable trade; intelligent. friendly co-opera- tion and good will.
 There is only one way that the summer exit of Arizona will lead to San Diego - this city must get ac- quainted with its neighbors. San Diego has completed it's railroad and seems to be showing tendency to sit down, and say: Here we are. Come on over, the waters fine" But you can't get to know a man by standing in your front yard and shouting to him over the back fence. He will be little reticent and bash full about paying you a visit until you climb over the fence, shaking his hand, slam him on the back and show him that you are willing to go lit tie distance yourself to get his friend ship. Then he will be glad to recipro- cate.
 Ell Paso's Example
 There is no better example of the effectiveness of this spirit than the attitude taken toward Arizona by Fl Paso during the last few years. Every year the Fl Paso chamber of com merce runs a special train through Arizona. It is a typical boosters special" Every town on any main line railroad fin Arizona gets a chance to meet the Fl Paso visitors; they talk with them, entertain and are en- tertained by them. and, as a result, have decided that if the Fl Paso folks want their friendship bad enough to come into Arizona after it they are entitled to it. And they now have it. The greater part of the outside trade of Arizona goes to Fl Paso, be- cause Fl Paso has always been ready and eager to make the first friendly move. Fl Paso business houses have, by this and other methods, built up a trade in Arizona that totals mil lions every year. And they got re- suits because they did not wait for Los Angeles or any other city to get in ahead of them.
 Why could not San Diego do the same as far as the summer trade is actly the right kind of vacation goods Arizonans want. Instead of going into Arizona and personally ad- vertising its stock, San Diego is wait ing behind the counter for customers who will not travel 50 miles to spend their summers here because no one has seemed to take enough interest in them to get acquainted.
 Get Acquainted Special
 A ''get acquainted special" from San Diego to Fl Paso and return would do more for this city than any thing that has been accomplished since the completion of the San Die go and Arizona. The train could be routed. on the outgoing trip, over the S. D. & A. to Yuma; thence along the Southern Pacific to Tucson; from Tucson to Fl Paso and Southwestern system would carry the San Diegans through Bisbee, Douglas, Warren ana other cities in the richest copper pro- ducing section in the world and then along the New Mexico-Mexico border to Fl Paso. Fl Paso has the outside trade of Arizona practically cornered; it does not claim to be summer va cation spot and would gladly cooper ate with San Diego's efforts to get ac- quainted with Arizona. In returning. the special could be routed over the Southern Pacific to Tucson. taking iT rich territory that furnishes thous- ands of coast visitors ill the summer; from Tucson the San Diegans could route their train through Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe and other cities in the Salt River valley, the greatest cotton growing region in the west.
