"It la the duty of the people of the
west to bring to those or the east a
realization of the mighty undevelop
ed resources of tho territory now ap
parontly so little known to them,"
saya Phil Norton, publicity writer,
who Is here from Arliona paving the
way for a closer cooperation by west
ern pooplo In a campaign having as
Its slogan, "See the West Now."
"The conflict In Europe has forced
those of the east who do not yet
realize that the beauty of the old
world Is rivaled by the wonders of
tho 'far west to remain in thla country.
Now is the time therefore for every
man and woman In tbe west to write
to all eastern people of their ac
quaintance and urge a visit to the
west thla year. They can travel here
for health, pleasure or gain. No
other section of the United States
offers tbe industrial, commercial and lake and along the rice fields, but no
development opportunities to be. matter how fast development cuts
found on tbe western frontier. Some. Into the great fields now commanded

wish their friends to see everything In
tho west will advise them to enter
thla new country thru Arizona, via
the Apache Trail, through the region
of the erstwhile savage Apache, tho
ancient ruins of tbe cliff dwellers,
past the Roosevelt Dam, where a rest
ful atop may be made for the purpose
of enjoying fishing, hunting and boat
ing, thru the greatest of tho world's
copper mines and on Into the Salt
River Valley wbere tbe results of
the great reclamation dam may be
seen.
"From Phoenix they will go Into
Southern California for the holiday
season, on along the Pacific Coast to
Bant Barbara, Santa Cruz, Del Monte
and Monterey for the early spring
and through the Sierra Nevada moun
tains to Lake Tahoe, Shasta Springs
and on to the lumbering, grazing and
farming district of Klamath Falls.
"Here they may spend practically
any season of the year with oqual
pleasure. In the fall and winter the
eastern tourist will revel In tho duck
hunting found in the great ttile fields
of the marsh land now being re
claimed. Later he will have to con
tent himself with the hunting on the

It Is believed that this action will
