| tiOn of a north and south territorial | highway. to connect up the cities of the southern part of Arizona with the Grand Canyon. Painted Desert, | MOqui Villages, and others of the world s wonders that lie. inaccessible in the northern part of the terri | tory, ran high at the regular monthly meeting of the Prescott Auto Club, held in the office of the Chamber of Commerce last night.
 Father of Good Roads Tom Norris will leave for Phoenix Sunday night to preach the gospel of the north and south road in all the principal cities south for the next ten days and nights. It will be entirely a mis- sionary canvess, MT. Norris hopes be- ing to place before his friends in all parts of the territory the importance of the completion of the north and south road; so that, by the time of the completion of the National high way. Arizona will possess the means of giving the thousands of auto tour ists who will use that trans-contin- ental highway, the opportunity of viewing the grandeur of natures handiwOrk in our midst. thereby cor II dollars for home circulation.
 Del M. Potter's letter to MT. Norris, just received. The letter is dated Clifton. was read by Secretary Aitken, and reads in part:
 ''The north and south road is sec Ond only in importance to the Ma tiOnal highway. So many of the won ders of the world lie in your part of the territory, that your north and south road should be finished sim ultaneOusly with the trans-continental road. Together, we must work for the first east and west highway and we must do it now. I had rather ride one mile on this road while I live, than a million miles after I am dead.'
 To Malcolm Fraser was delegated the duty of procuring enough autos to convey a large body of members of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce to the train upon which the garrison and officers for Whipple Barracks will arrive Monday next. The pres enee of the Prescott Military band at the reception was left to Ed 4. Kastner.
 Treasurer Hesla reported that S262.O6 remains unexpended in the treasury. Ed Shumate was unani- mOusly elected a member of the club.
 It is anticipated that about fifteen ears will drive to Cathedral Cave Sunday morning, to partake of the barbecue prepared for large party from Prescott. by Don SenOr Patter- son and Chester Diekerson. Every owner of a ear has been invited to bring load and the word comes down from the genial Don Senor that the ladies are to come with their husbands, brothers and sweet hearts.
 Secretary Aitken said that he had made arrangements to call for the officers of the First Regiment. \. G. A., tonight at the Target Range. drive them to the Yavapai club. where they are to be entertained at a smoker and put them down at camp after the last gun is fired.
 The meeting then adjourned.
 Girand and Craig Active.
 T. c. Norris. president of the Ari- zOna Good Roads Association will leave tomorrow for Southern Arizona to be away for several days on an | important mission affecting the good roads movement. At Phoenix he will be joined by Territorial Engineer J. | B. Girand and R. A. Craig, citizen member of the board of control, all | going to Globe, Tucson. Bisbee and other cities, to meet and discuss with | the directors of the association and 1 the citizens generally on road mat ters and to arrange a definite plan of operation on the part of the terri | tory. One of the objects of the mis- sion will be an effort to induce as much concentration of work in places most needed along the main territorial | highways, and specifically in the mountains along the north and south | highway.
 Another vital question is to be taken up for action. that of the tax Isu
