 which recognizes no such word as l failure and whose every effort nas

 Bisbee's citizenship is composed of a clssss peculiarly it's own, which may be termed past-masters in the
 boosting" game. 1t realizes that ak 1 ter all there are but two ways of
 making living-working for it ano
 working somebody for it- It has a 1 personality which oyershadows ever ' effort of the ''knocker'' and makes it
 possible to emerge from the miaihs camp to the full giories of a real city.
 To the stranger the topography of
 the Bisbee district Is not an invita- tion for great development from the standpoint sf railway operation. ne obstacles are many and the oppor- tunities for elimination few. When the railway service was first inaugu. rated, the facilities were thought to be ample for many years. but tar march of progress has been so rapid
 
 utilize every available space in town and also to iron our rugged hillsides What more can be said of Bisbee's onward march than may be learned by a look at the miles of railway track distributed witnia her terri tory?
 It seems but yesterday, 1t was but yesterday as measured by the life of ,Sfh Rff |. @l. ing ground of the Indian and the prospect" of the hopeful With no transportation facilities but the burro and nothing to warrant even thought of anything else. But the determined spirit of that time has been intensified as time progressed, until today there is among it's citi- Zenship a spirit whi.h l. pregnant with magnitude and whose impresses and results cannot be measured by any recognized standards of the past Old methods have been ignored and the growth and accomplishments which could only be realized by the tedious processes and developments of years in the past, here and now spring into existence in day, are encompassed in an hour.
 Go to any quarter or se.tcn of the city or district to which inclina- ton, fancy or business may lead you and all is life and activity.
 Go on to any of our magnificently rich hills or take our newly inaugu- rated electric line to the "city beau tiful," look in any direction you will and the prospects looming up in rapid succession are bewildering and over .nN1r Nt. T. after all the location and building of all great cities are matters prede- ternined and fixed independently of and in spite of any and all influences, whether adverse or otherwise.
 In conclusion, Bisbee feels puisat- ing through her arteries the energy of forces of a mighty metropolis are daily being added to her already wonderful fife. The spread of her environments suggests only possi- biiities Of future magnitude. The sririt of actjvity which anirnates her people seems not only pregnant with great things, but it impresses every obseryant stranger. with the idea O. a magnificent destiny wnich recog- nized standards and experiences of the past are all inadequate to meas ure.
 Keep Bisbee in your minds eye Watch how she spreads and multi plies; now she Increases and magni- fes; how she accumulates; how sli, gathers to herself and -Tows, this city of a thousand exigencies, this em- bodiment of fortune and destiny. th' BISBEE, THE COPPER PRINCESS OF THE SOUTHWEST
 Raymond s. Coll. managing editor of The Review on The Railroads and the Press" said:
 It is an honor to be called upon here this evening of which I scarcely feel deserving. There are others present who would have responder more capaibly and intelligent1y than However, I won't make any ex- cuseSor apologies. And won't weary you, at least not with the length of my remarks. You are busi- ness men, and in the business world brevity and directness are golden IT I jump the track or slip ain eccentric now and then charge the indiscretion to the fact that am a tenderfoot
 The Board of Trade of the city of Bisbee is to be congratulated. When an OrgSHizati0n can command the presence of such distinguished and influential guests as are with us here this evening there is substantial weight and energy back of it.
 How well it is succeeding in Its to boost the Warren district by putting it's advantages and actual worth before the public at large and to make friends that will be useful to Bisbee Is self evident tonight.
 Some reference has been or will be made here to existing freight rates in the Southwest. That's a big subject It is fraught with just as much i'm portsnce to the railroad man as to the consumer. There has been a lot of muck raking through the press and for political effect on the freight rate question. confess that an not veil enough informed to even skirt the edges Of the controversy intelligent ly. But I believe in viewing it with a little horse sense.
