 I want to say to you, my friends. that l am proud of the part which l have taken ia this enterprise. When II lert the great iron mines of the north to come to Bisbee, a great many of my friends told me that I was making a great mistake. but l n.c a most abiding faith in the future of this great camp, and I have more to- day than ever 1 am proud of Bisbee; lproud of the Warren district; proud of the new city of Warren. I am glad that l came to Arizona. I am glad lthat l have been able to aid some what in advancing this camp, and I thank you most cordially for the most hearty welcome which the people of Bisbee have accorded our new cleo tric system.

 w, P. McNair. president of the chamber o1 commerce, on behalf of the commercial organizations compli- nlented both the Warren Company and the members of the city govern ment, taking for his theme Boosters and Knockers" He spoke as follows:
 An occasion Of this kind is always a happy one for any community. It notes the march Of progress and the advancement to the more metropolitan condition oE its people.
 The citizenship of every community is composed of two classes, the pes simistic and the optimistic. in other words, the ''knocker" and the boost ters." The peEsimist sees nothing in the future. is satisfied to sit still and find fault with every effort of his more contemplating neigibor, while the optimist gets busy and goes after things. If 1t wasn't Tor the optimist the pessimist would never know how happy he isn't. The chronic knock. CT" is always miserable while the booster" is happiest in his efforts for his own advancement and the general betterment of conditions in the com munity of which ne is part. The "knocker" is always trusting to luck and as a consequence finds very few | CT" instead of regretting yesterday gets busy and does something today. He realizes that golden opportunities are the kind fate hands to the other fellow on a silver platter aud places himself in the way to get ais share os the good things. If he hasut got tEe right of>way he never sulks but gets out oF the way and gives anoth- CT a chance.
 It is the booster" that hailds towns
 and railroads. He maaes is possible
 to emerge from the embronic state oi
 the country village or mining cam
 to that of the real city. Ep is not sat
 isfed to use the OK or the burro for
 his means oF transportation, but mus
 "get there" as rapidly as steam c
 electricity will carry him. He ca- take the store with it's $500.00 stocl of goods and develop it into such ar wholesale establishment as the need! of the country contiguous to his home 1 town will warrant. He was neyel known to live in poor town and hi compensation with the stranger vii create the impression that but on5 town exists. He is ready with hi! means and advice to help his high
 
 idealism as may be held by himself It is of such men Bisbse can boast Men who have personality enough tr oyershadow the efforts of the knock CT" and to whom the community ma! look Tor advancement as the circum stances may depelop. Men who haT' faith, and, while they realize tha faith may move mountains, they know r. that more miles of railroad may bt
 built and more tons of ore may bt E. taken from our hills with the pick anC + shovel. It is such men who have } made it possible for this magnificent if system of railway to be constructed s who have demonstrated to the wbos' e country that notwithstanding labol < troubles and financial straits. it va: possible to give to their home city . means of rapid transit whicn make' !, a. Greater Bisbee possible much soon CT than otherwise would be the case We are proud of Arizona, the bes Q Territory in the grandest counT> !. Gods sun ever saone upon; we ai' n proud of Cochise county, the largest s and best in Arizona; we are proud O n our own Bisbee and the Warren diS ,- trict with its great possibilities ane L unlimited opportunities, but we ar'
 prouder of the men who live in thf
 Warren district and to whom in or l fsring our congratulations today, w may say, their efforts realized is au ' other exenpliication of the old saYlnf ;. that Nothing succeeds like success.
 Immediately on the conclusion ol | Ithe exercises at the plaza city ana F county officials and officers of tnt i fconlpany. and about POO of the prom if nent business men of the distric' !. boarded the five cars, four of which s had arrived during the course Of the f speech making, and started on uiI d of inspection of the line.
