all Of these shy letter. Only those
who have seen the folder can ap-
preciate the completeness of the in
formation contained therein. A five
page letter could not cover the facts.
Nor could a 1O-page letter visualize
to the prospective visitor the pic
ture of Augusta that the half-tones
conveyed at glance. TO a seeker
of a quiet vacation place, the infor-
nation was there. If an industrial
concern wished facts regarding Au-
Augusta as a possible location. the

home seeker why Augusta was an
ideal place in which to live. To the
tourist from some other state pfat,-

Susta's advantages, to furnish a re-
liable guide TO the chief points Of

and prospective guests an abiding
assurance of the city's cordial well

The board Of directors OF the
Chamber of Commerce have to date
refrained from making an appro-
priation for the purpose of renew
ing the supply of folders. That such
an appropriation would greatly ben
eft the city there is no doubt. even
at this late day. with the height of
the tourist season just around the
corner. In the opinion of Secretary
Folsom, however, it is a question
as to whether the Chamber of Com
merce should bear this expense or
should the Augusta city government.
Insofar as the city government rep
resents the city as whole, while
the Chamber of Commerce is only
a group of men with the interests
of Augusta at heart. Secretary Fol-
som in his last months report rec
commended that the city government
be urged to appropriate a certain
sum for Augusta publicity purposes
to be distributed through the Cham
Der of Commerce. much the same
as the State of Maine Legislature
makes an advertising appropriation
and fosters the advertising Of Maine
as a whole through the Maine Pub
licity Bureau.

One night in 1917 while he was

rise from poverty to wealth and to
make his name famous throughout
the world. At that time he was

entered the restaurant and began
to play a medley of jazz from the
African jungle. To him it seemed
that jazz was merely a state of

Smith Ross of Oklahoma City, Okla,
arrived in Cheyenne several days be-

was present when the end came.
The death of Governor Ross makes

believed that jazz music, properly
introduced. would become popular
and he determined TO make it 80.
A week later he resigned and
formed a dance orchestra with ff-
teen pieces. His musicians were
fired with his enthusiasm and
agreed to work without pay for a
time. In addition to his horns,
piano and drum he added two
v%iolins, a cello, and a saxaphone
and proceeded to hold public con-
certs on street corners and in parks.
Great crowds gathered to watch his
antics and so popular did he become
that his fame swept Eastward. A
year later he was offered the posi-
ton of orchestra leader in the new
Ambassador Hotel at Atlantic City.
He was given a four-year contract
ut a fabulous salary. During the

Governor Ross was among the pio-
neer prohibitionists of Wyoming and
took ar active part in the years Of
campaigning that preceded the adop-
ton Of the state prohibition statute.
His admistration of his Office was es-
peeially energetic along the lines Of
law enforcement. In two instances
he brought about the designations of
elected county officers, one n sheriff
and the other a prosecuting attorney,
by summoning these officers to ap-
pear before him to show cause why
they should not be removed for fail
ure to enforce the law. He was a be-
newer in preparedness by America
Tor protection in the event of intema-
tonal inducements and enthusiastic
ally supported the recent Defense day

Governor Ross is survived by a
