Weekly journal-miner., 1913-12-17

During the past few weeks as result of special effort generous addition to our membership has been secured. There also has been revival of interest that has resulted in a substantial increase 1T our bank balances. The incoming Board of Directors will hnd much in this respect for which they may be really thankful. ,,
 We think we have been no small factor in establishing a feeling oi confidence in the ability Of this county to yet make good. There can be no doubt that a much greateT interest now obtains Tn the product i've features fthis county than ever has been known. Inquiries from many sources fully prove this statement.
 I want every member of this chamber to know that these results have come not only from the work of your secretary and your treas urer. which has been most efficient, hut also from the work of some of your committees. They are made up of the gentlemen whom you must thank for your success. They nave worked without regard to thelr own personal affairs in a spirit m pralse of which too much cannot be said
 Your treasurer has never failed. His weekly reports show that he must have spent much of his time in vour work. Your financial con dition has been before you at every session There can be no word or criticism or complaint of ms work
 Your secretary's report speaks for itself and for him. 1t IS not likely that any one man or set ot men has done more to spread in- formation concerning your re- sources and prospects than he lie talks it in his sleep; he shouts T. from the housetops wherever he may go; he is irrepresslble; he :s known throughout the land and Is always talking Prescott and Ari- zona.
 This chamber, or at least mem bers of it, has been severely crit icised at time, and by some. all oi the time, often and generally, with i ont any reason. Sometimes It has been almost unbearable, but you know now that 1t stands for prog ress and that every such body meet: more or less opposition. The oniN men or body of men who are moi criticised and opposed at some time are those who do nothing. we De
 lieve that the Prescott chamber X
 not of that kind.
 I have no suggestions other thar
 that first mentioned for your actor during the coming year. This cham
 Der is big enough and strons
 enough to continue its work with
 out the advice of any one man It is up to you to all work k to
 eether and stand together and yo' will accomplish the results 10
 which we are all hoping.
