ANNUAL MEETING OF
 THE BOARD OF 1RADt
There Will be an Address by Mrs. Russell at 4 O'clock Today-to be Followed Immediately by the Elec- ton of Directors.

The annual meeting of the Board of Trade will be held this afternoon at 1 o'clock instead Of this evening as has been previously announced. There will be an informal reception between 4 and 4:30 o'clock in honor of Mrs Mar Jorie Russell, editor of The Earth, who has travelled widely and who has con- sented to make a short address on her impressions of the Salt River valley. The Earth will devote practically its entire space to this valley in the Au- gust edition and Mrs. Russell is very desirous of meeting the Phoenix busi- ness men and members of the Board of Trade.
 The annual election of directors will be held at 4-30 o'clock immediately after the reception. It is desired that every member who can possibly do so be present and participate in the se- lection of a good board to serve during the coming year. It is to be the most active year in the history of the organ ization and can be made a powerful agency for the prosperity of the valley if the people will cooperate in it's en- terprises.
 That the members may have prop CT idea of the present membership of the board, the activities of it's officers and some understanding of what has been accomplished in the last year, the secretary, George W. Cowgirl, has had his annual report printed and mailed to every member and it is time ly to reproduce herewith a part of it, space not permitting it's publication in full
 The report contains a list of the members, official and committee di- rectory and list Of former presidents from the beginning, record of attend ance of directors, report of inquiries received and literature supplied as well as all receips and disbursements of cash, during each of the past t. elve months. In addition the following items are extracted:

The employees Of the H. H. McNeil

 on the ways Of the wild and woody,
 where holdup men, desperadOes, h. dians and Washington street cowboys, spring up like Teddy bears in a cane

ECZEMA SCALES DROPPED OFF.
Sufferer Notes Peculiar Result While Obtaining Cure by Use of Ex-
 ternaI Liquid Remedy.

'.I scaled like fish when I began using D. D. D. Prescription" writes P. J. Winner. of Connellsville. Pa. 'I had doctored for Eczema with two doctors for more than a month and got worse all the time. After using only three bottles of D. D. D. 1 can truthfully say I am cured"
 Germ scales and a crustiike skin, surrounding the unsightly sores, are characteristic of Eczema and similar skin diseases. According to the best medical opinion. these scales are caus- ed by bacilli feeding upon and con- suming the weaker parts of the cuticle.
 When these scales begin to fall away. it is a sign that the bacilh have been eXterminated and that new healthy skin is being formed beneath. Nature takes care of this form of cure, but sometimes the Eczema scales null tiply faster than nature can remove them. To assist Nature, use a mild oil of wintergreen. properly compound ed as in D. D. D. Prescription.
 Just a few drops of D. D. D. Pre- scripticn gives instant relief from that awful burning itch. As soon as this iitttui SotlIiillS dppii'b Np tiit skin. the itch is gone. soon the sores dry up and the new smooth white skin replaces the scales which had been formed.

: ter and a greater and stronger effort in each and all channels.
 The free information bureau main tained during the Territorial Fair was great success. We found accommo- dations for several hundred visitors that could not be accommodated in our hotels and lodging houses.
 The new city directory was prompt ed by an effort on the part of this organization, and we believe that it will be fully appreciated by our citi- zens.
 The officers and directors have made special efforts during the past year to secure wrte-up stories on this valley. and many articles have been printed. Amongst some or the publications which have contributed space for us have been, Chicago Record Her aid. New York World, St. Louis Globe Democrat, Denver Mining Record. Chicago Examiner. Prai- rie Farmer. Ohio Farmer, West Coast Magazine, Sunset, Out West. Pacific Monthly. Orchard and Farm. and at least fifty weekly and monthly agricultural papers through out the east.
 Matters of local importance are the remodeling of our headquarters. plac ing new furniture and fixtures and a readjustment of the room. a much needed improvement. and We believe has been duly appreciated not only by our home people but by the visiting tourist.i

 Action was taken to remedy the overflow of irrigating ditches along the public highways.
 This organization had the honor to announce to the / world. as a New Years greeting, that Arizona led the world in the mineral production for 1907. This fact was favorably com mented upon by the press of Arizona as well as throughout the United States. It is estimated that more than four hundred newspapers copied our telegrams or made comment theron. in nearly every case due credit was given this Board of Trade
 The Board of Trade on January {, 1908, passed the following resolution which is self explanatory:
 Resolved, that the directors or the Phoenix and Maricopa County Boar1 Of Trade express approval of the ef- forts begun by the Maricopa County Commercial club. looking toward the lowering of railroad freight rates within Arizona.
 The panoramic pictures now framed on our wall are of material benefit. not only to our home people, but of great value in ovrlaining to the tourists and prospective investor the advantages Of this country. These constitute one of our principal assets.
 The board has extended a cordial invitation to the bankers of North Da kota and Texas to visit Phoenix on their annual vacation tour.
 A resolution was passed endorsing an act to regulate commerce. common ly known as the interstate commerce law. as submitted in regular form by the League of Idaho Commercial Clubs.
 Resolutions were passed endorsing the bond issue of Special Road District No. 1, and the board has used all pos sible influence toward securing the passage of said act.

from Kansas City, Missouri. The city ranks fifth in the list of manufactur- ing cities of the United States.
 One year ago there were 256 saloons in this county, 200 gambling dens and about 50 houses of social evil. Today there is not a saloon. no open gam bling den, nor a disorderly house. It is the largest city in the world with out these dens of vice, and as we have now existed about twelve months without them, it affords a living ex- ample Of the fact that a large city can grow and prosper without such evils.
 At the commencement of the contest a large number of our people thought it would ruin business and destroy our prosperity, but it has stimulated business in all lines.
 Our population has increased at a greater rate than ever before.
 The deposits of the banks have gained by one and One-half million dollars.
 The merchants upon ourfsIreets have had to employ additional clerks.
 The attendance in our public schools has increased largely, and we have had to employ eighteen additional teachers. The teachers inform us that this increase is largely of boys and girls of from twelve to sixteen years of age who prior to the closing of the saloons were compelled to assit in sup porting the family. by reason of the father spending his wages for drink
 The charitable institutions report 2 reduction of more than two-thirde in the demand for aid. The juvenile court, which has the care of dependent children, had but two applications in the past eight months. while prior to the closing of the joints from eight to eighty eight children required aid and assistance each month.
 Prior to the closing of the joints We sent from fifteen to twenty-five young men to the reformatory every year. In the twelve months siEce closing We have sent but two.
 The expenses for prosecuting crimi- nals have been reduced $25.00O per an mum. Expense for the police force has been reduced as much more.
 For the first time in twenty-five years the court of common pleas of this county opened it's term the first Monday in May without a criminal case.
 The city courts, created for the eX- press purpose of trying petty suits for the collection of rents and, grocery bills, and formerly crowded with a black docket every day. have now practically no business. for the reason that people are paying their bills in stead of being sued for them
 A year ago this city was trying to devise ways and means to spare the money to build additions to our city jails. Today the doors of the jails swing idly upon their hinges, and we have no use for those we have.
 One year ago, not to exceed two business men on the principal thor oughfares of this city would have fa- vored the closing of saloons. Today there are not two who would favor opening them.
 Twice since the saloons were closed we have held a city election at which the issue was presented to the people and at eech election the people have indorsed present conditions. Every banker is loud in praise of the present civic situation. The city is clean. Crime is at minimum, merchants real estate advancing.
