ceed to elect the board of directors, whereupon the articles may be filed at once. For that reason every subscrib- CT to stock should be sure and attend the next meeting.
 The articles provide for a capital stock of $40,000, divided into fifty dol lar shares. The association shall be governed by a board of nine directors, who in turn shall select the officers. all of whom must be stockholders and all of whom must be directors except the secretary, who may be chosen at the boards discretion from among the other stockholders. All annual meet ings, subsequent to the first one, shall be held on the first Tuesday of June.
 The purposes of the corporation as outlined privilege it to give almost any sort of an amusement enterprise, from a territorial fair to a baseball game. There was some diversity of opinion in the choosing of a name. It was con tended by some that, while the char ter permits the giving of a territorial fair, the purpose is not for the .associ- ation to give the fair but only to lease the grounds annually to the fair com mission and help to boom it's project and that therefore it could hardly be called a fair association. But as that name was available until appropriated by some one and very desirable for other reasons, the name finally adopted without a dissenting vote was "The Arizona Fair Association"
 Two more very important commit tees were appointed and their work assigned. One was a subscription committee. It is desirable to make the association all-territorial, and though sufficient has been subscribed to in sure the success of the enterprise a still larger treasury fund will insure larger operations and likewise a great CT success not only for the territory at large but for the stockholders who may reasonably hope to make stock in the enterprise an investment as well as a public benefit. This commit tee consists of B. A. Packard, Carl T. Hayden, Louis Melczer, s. Oberfelder. H. C. Yaegar, P. A. Tharaldson, pr. J. c. Norton, H. J. McClung, A. J. Chand- Ter and w. D. FulwiIer IL will be noted that the entire valley is repre- scented as well as southern Arizona through MT. Packard. This commit tee is empowered to appoint sub-co mittees in every town in the territory if it wants to and in any honorable
 
 not improbable that in a short time it will place every share of the capital stock.
 The other committee appointed is committee for the selection of grounds, or at least for reporting what grounds are available and seemingly the most desirable. This is an impor- tant matter, for a fair will be held this fall and there is much to do in preparing for it. There is not a day to lose, for buildings, stables and fences will have to be erected and a race track provided, in addition to the advertising and preliminaries that will attend each annual exhibition.
 This committee consists of w. N. Tiffany, R. H. Greene, Walter Talbot, Walter Bennett, p. T. Hurley, Vernon L. Clark and Charles Goldman. After the stockholders meeting last night the committee met and decided to make it's wants as publicly known as possible. There was some fear ex- pressed that land owners in the val ley, knowing the needs of the hour, might attempt to raise the price of fitting tracts to an eXOrbitant figure. But in view of the facts that there are dozens of fine locations the com mittee is not bound to seek in any particular locality, the association has the funds subscribed to insure pay ment of whatever obligations it may incur, and there is absolutely mo string on the committee, it concluded to make public the fact that it is in the market. It invites every person who has a tract of land within three or four miles of town that he thinks is adapted to the purposes of a terri torial fair, to submit to any member of the committee at the earliest prac- tical moment a description of the To- cation and size of his holding, his lowest price for the land, together with a thirty day option on it. Several places are already in mind, but there is no prejudice in favor of any. It will be useless for anybody to try and job the committee or the association for it's membership embraces many of the best posted men on realty values in this city, and any man who wants too much for his land will have to keep it. The committee don't have to buy. But the advantages of differ ent locations will. of course, be given proper consideration. This site com mittee will hold a meeting next Mon day night, probably at the office of F.. H. Greene. Any proposition made to any member of the committee be- tween now and that time will be pre-
