All day yesterday the telephone
at the Prescott Chamber of Com
merce was hot with inquiries OF
all kinds, both local and long dis
lance. Under Sheriff Fairchild, OF
Flagstaff, phoaed Sunday and stat
ed that a carload Of contest horses
and bucking Dronchos will be ship
ped from the Skylight city this
week and that at least six and prob
ably ten contestants can be relied
upon to enter in the Frontier Day
contests from the Flagstaff coun-
tryside.
R. G. Whitmarsh, acting secre-
tary of the State Taxpayers As
sociation was invited by Secretary
Fraser to hold a meeting of his
Association in Prescott, July u,
when the State Tax Commission,
Supervisors, Clerks and Assessors
will meet in joint session at the
court house for a ten day equali-
cation meeting on taxes in all Ari-
IONA counties.
Mr.. Whitmarsh replied that he
will be present and a number OF
representatives of the association
also at this meeting. He writes

will be a record breaker.
Brownie Gentry" chairman OF
the accommodations committee has
opened his office in the R. H. Bur
mister store. He dedicated The

ting into the spacious cellars OF
the store two carloads of cots and
a car of blankets and pillows. The
counters have been removed to
make place for the setting up OF
cots for the strangers who will be
within Prescott's gates for the big
show. Other storerooms are being
busted and cleared by Ed. Steph-
ems and his crew ready for tenn
porary lodgings and before July
opens, the city will look like one
in the throes OF an army siege.
If a telegram sent last night by
Chairman Haworth accomplishes
the desired result, Otto Kline will
get a leave of absence from Bar
mum and Bailey's circus, playing to-
day at Salem, Mass, and cut for
Prescott. Kline's is a name TO con-
lure with. for he can scratch pretty
near any bad broncho in the world

so the unconquered trick roper Of
many hard-fought contest fields
The big ones are showing heat anc
some of the top-notchers will be
in the contests.

Mayor Timerhoff has had man,
complaints that the racers who
have been trying out their auto:
over the loop course have beer
speeding and allowing their muffler
to make unspeakable noises, to thu
murder OF beauty sleep OF tiret
Prescottonians and he told the Au
to Club moguls in no uncertain
tones that this noise and slitherinl
speed must stop in the city limit
day or night. After consultation
it was decided that Secretary Cor

in the city limits. 1t is though
the noise has been occasioned b,
running the cars at excessive speed
