FRASER DELIVERS
DRY FARMING LECTURE
(From Fridays Dsily.)

An unusual lecture on farming
such as few people are ever given the
opportunity Of hearing entertained
the Chamber of Commerce last night.
Secretary Fraser has just returned
from a pieture.taking trip to Skull
and Ferguson valleys and his report
to the Chamber Of Commerce con.
| tanned features of such overwhelming
interest that the entire body begged
for more Of the details OF hls trip
and particularly requested the Journ.
al-Miner to give due public.ay to the
report of the secretary.
People in Prescott have long been
OF the opinion that Fraser wa. n
newspaper man but his statement
last night proved that for the past
year he has been in Nebraska and il.
according to his own statement, well
acquainted with the finer details of
farming. After this introduction the
secretary rose and majestically point.
ing to pile of innocent potatoes
lying on the table remarked: Gen.
tlemen, dug those potatoes out Of
two corn hills The roar Of laugh
ter which greeted thi. announcement
befuddled the farm lecturer and he
vehemently responded. "Wel then I
dug them out of two separate com.
munities of corn" and the Chamber
eheered the valiant sgriculturist to
the echo. Fraser then exhibited a
number of other dry farm samples
but none seemed to be so joyfuily
received as the excellent specimens
Of potatoes which came from corn
hills.
After the meeting Fraser explain.
ed that be meant, "potato eommun.
ities,' but that he had eaten horse
corn for supper which had been
grown on dry farm and the con.
fusion which resulted was only TO be
expected.
an ehthusiastie vote carried mo-
ton for a Labor Day celebration.
The test hole now being drilled in
the east side Of Alareon and Carleton
streets in the hope of finding artesi. |
an water was then discussed and the
report of the committee on cheaper
water was read.
Il. $. Shepard submitted fire clay
brick which was made from native
clay found about three miles from
Prescott; he has sent barrel Of
this same material to Marietta, Ohio,
and Il is thought that the Yavapai
product may prove to be Of value in |
the manufacture Of base, fire and |
paving brick.
The board then went into executive
session.

They made an early start and Il was
about O'Clock in the morning when

heard peculiar sound not unlike

feet in depth and at the bottom Of

rescue the unfortunate man and
rope was brought which proved to

from the horses harness to the rope
Clifford Perkins went down with n
