 the principal subject at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday evening. The cream of the story has already been related in the special dispatches to the Journal-Min but there was considerable new matter brought out. As a fitting opening to the proceed ings, President Fredericks introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously and enthusiastically adopted:
 "Whereas. The Boosters Excursion to Phoenix. on April 21st, 1911, con- ducted under the auspices of the Summer Colony Committee of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, re- ceived the sincere and hearty sup port of the citizens of Phoenix;
 Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the thanks of this Chamber of Com merce be and the same are hereby rendered to the City Club, to the Phoenix and Maricopa County Board of Trade. and its able and energetic secretary, Mir.

In order that we might be afforded an opportunity of showing our appre- citation in deeds as well as in words, we again extend to our Phoenix friends the sincere invitation Come up a mile and smile awhile
 Resolved, That these resolutions be spread in full upon our minutes and copies thereof sent to the Pres colt and Phoenix daily press for pub lication.''
 Then motion prevailed that a similar resolution be adopted in re- gard to Tucson, with special mention given to \. E. Hummer, T. E. Lit, the faculty of the University of Ari- zona, and the press.
 As the result of the observations on his trip. F. O. Smith stated that the Prescott Chamber of Commerce was larger than that of Tucson, which has double the population of this city, and that our membership exceeded by three that of the PhOe- nix Board of Trade. Continuing, he said that the University was anxious to establish a dry farming station near Prescott and would do so next year if the Legislature made an ap- propriatiOn for such work. The last appropriation had been expended at Snowflake. Apache county, which had taken the initiative two years ago, and had promoted the bill through the Legislature. As to the expert mental station at Douglas, the ex- pense is borne by the Fl Paso & Southwestern railway. Speaking of the Tucson excursion to Prescott, in June. in connection with the Knights of Columbus, he said that it would bring many people here, who would inspect the Summer Colony. One of these would be P. N. Jaeobus, one of the most enterprising citizens of the Pueblo City. He had built thirty four residences there, ranging in value to $s,7OO, and being of the Spanish Mission type of architecture, it had been the means of making Tucson the prettiest residence city to be found anywhere. If NIT. Jacob us should become interested in Pres
 
 great benefit to the city. MT. Smith announced that Prof. Holman of the University would be here during the summer with fifteen students to take up a course of mine surveying. If the experiment should prove success ful, it would practically lead to a permanent summer school of mines.
 Harry Heap, after giving an ex- tended review of the work done by the Summer Colony Committee at Phoenix and Tucson, noted that the work had really just started and must be followed up. The water pipe was now on the ground and the sec retary would prepare a letter stating how work was progressing, and that Prescott citizens should come into the office and sign the letter and it would be mailed to the addresses of their friends. Several of these let ters would be issued in due course of time. MT. Waara had completed the survey of the tract and a team would be sent out today to cut fur rows showing the outlines of the streets. As to the matter of piping water to the grounds he suggested that a committee confer with the City Council with the object of hay ing the city bear the expense. Later this motion was amended to make the committee consist of the Board of Directors, supported by the pres enee of every member of the Cham Der.
 Good roads were then discussed Frank Foster reported that the high way to Ash Fork had reached Will hanson Valley and that in a weel it would be at Patterson's ranch As to the city streets, he had beer informed by the city officials tha when the grading on Gurley stree hill, between the banks. was com pleted, that operations would begil in West Prescott.
