WORDS OF PRAISE
FOR FRONTIER DAY
(From Thursdays Daily

first Frontier celebration finance
committee, will bring his books dowr
to the Chamber of Commerce to,
night and give Prescott subscriber:
an exact and comprehensive account
ing for every nickel received and
disbursed before, during and after
the great and successful fiesta.
1t is hoped that Producing Man
ager Williar Duncan will also be
present, to make suggestions for next
years blowout He has ideas which
should be valuable, but he is motor
iously snodest, leaving the making
OF plans to others and then sailing
in and carrying them out in his own
ideal way. The Republican, Demo-
Graf and Gazette, of Phoenix. both
in their editorial and news columns,
allow that the membership of the
Selig Polyscope Company here de-
serve the palm and a full need of
success OF the Frontier Day cele-
bration. Says the Democrat of
Monday:
This was the concensus of
opinion among Prescott people,
those who stood behind the gala
day and also the opinion of the
visitors who witnessed the activity
of the company in making the Mile
High city more famous than it was
prior to July 4.
THE opinion was universal on the
streets of Prescott yesterday morn
ing among the visitors and today
in Phoenix among those who re-
turned, that Prescott is the most
town in the State of Ari-
IONA. Rarely has there been seen
the wonderful manner in which the
reception committee took charge OF
the large crowds which flocked to
Prescott the night OF July 3. No
one was without bed and everyone
seemed to be well located
"If Phoenix could approximate
Prescott's success in handling a
crowd" said one prominent Phoe-
nician today, who visited Prescott,
The Capital city with her natural
advantages could count upon
doubled crowd for each Fair week.
Phoenix can certainly take lessons
n hospitality from her northern
sister city.
Another thing which could be
ioted of the Mile High city: no one
vas charged an excessive price just
because they happened to be there
IT a busy time and because they
lad to have accommodations All
IL all, Prescott is a wonderful city"
Not only the Democrat, but the
Republican and Gazette fairly bristle
With sincere praise for the high
quality of the entertainment and
he earnest desire of the reception
committee to find beds and food for
he weary arrivals. In an editorial
II the former:
Prescott is a good town in all
but 1t is superlatively
rood town when it comes to cele-
rating the Natal Day. For years
hat has been one of Prescott's
pecialties, and the day has been
he occasion for not only a patriotic
but for a round of
estivities.
Prescott may not be any more
than other Arizona towns,
tut they have a Fourth of July
Innate which lends itself to the
which should attend a
of the birth of the Ma
ion. They are, moreover, a hos
,itable lot at Prescott, and there
ore they always have a lot of out
ide help celebrating. When the
oreign celebrants go home they tell
heir neighbors what a time they
lad and that takes a bigger crowd
o Prescott the next year.
We see a danger in this situation,
probability that the Prescott Fourth
II July will come to be recognized
s State institution Some of these
lays the Legislature may designate
Prescott as the official place In Ari-
.ona for the celebration OF the
Fourth of July and may make it a
to celebrate it any
where else. Prescott is the patriotic
)ber-Ammergau of Arizona. Again
III the seventh:
Prescott did not do as many
owns do, avail itself of the helpless
less of their visitors and charge
hem extortionate prices for ac-
ommodations. 1t would have been
