 San Francisco zUuS ths course of preparation 1000 pictorial pam mphIets giving a great variety Of views of the valley. We secured 100 copies of the Governor's report for 1896, which have been mailed to infueptiel people; books, pamphlets and papers from ths reilroad companies aod from other sources have been forwaF ded by the hundred, making 8 grand total of about 72, 900 pieces of literature printed and procured by this Board during the past year.
 On October 6sh ve sent by express two large punches of ripe dates to the American Institute F4ir at Nsw York Oity, and received in acknowledgement letter from Mir H. E Van Demsn, Superintendent of Pomoiogy, in which he says:
 "They (she dasee) are being viewed by thousands of the most prominent peo- pie of this section, and all pronounce them to be an exceptionally fine article; in flavor fsF surpsssIng the i'm ported article"
 We had circulars printed and sent to shs different points along the Southern Peoi6c and Santa Fe system to be dis 5Fibuted on shs passing treins, inviting the Christian Eadsavorsrs to visit our oity and valley, and which. resulted iD many taking advantage of the low rates which We secured for them.
 We have broughs to- the notice of the Commissioner of She General Land Ofics by 8 memorial which wa secured passed by our Territorial Legislature, and by direct correspondents and by the efforts of our Prsident during his stay in Washington, she necessity of maintaining g forest reserve fos the protecsion of our water supply. This has resulted in the appearance of 8 special agent from that depsrbmens who was ordered to investigate and report ou the suhjset. We have all reasonable assuFaDce that our labors will be cFowped with success, and that the coming United States Congress- will set aside sufficient timber covered land to insure the protection of the forests uDor ouF water sheds, and to make the source of our water supply permanent.
 We have visited the nej joEity of the merchants of Phoenix, and nave paused Go be prepared individual com mplaints as evidence of the discrimination of the railroads against Phoenix snd this val ley. This evidence will be duly for warded to the Interstate Commerce Commission with the hope that we may bring about more equitable sd iustment of these unfair conditions. Numerous questions have occupied the attention of the Board during the past year and were disposed Of to the bssb interests of the community. Ne gotistions have been entered Into with | two different paFsies in an effort to To- | cate smelter near Phoenix, but cs yet 1 shere seems to be no immediate pros 1 pscts of succese.

 Ia March oE shia year the Board re- 'sivsd from Hon. N O Murphy, our hen delegate Co Congress, several bush.

The Board also received me hundred and fifty ponnds of suger ,eet seed from Chino, California, which were distributed among the rencners, with instructions how to care for and 7hen to gather the crop. Ths secre- sEy later collected samples Of these ,eets which were sent to the university ] t Tucson for aUelyeis.
