(From Wednesdays Daily.)

i he Northern Arizona Falr AS
ISOLATION gave a banquet to the.
Northern Arizona contingent of the
Tax Association, at the Yavapai
club last night and As covers were
laid An enjoyable dinner was serv-
ed in courses and intermingled with
the repast, was much singing and
jollity by the Roughneck Choir,
which hazes every stag gathering
in the mile high city.
Besides a number of local workers
for the Northern Arizona Fair, there
were present Chairman Zander and
Members Howe and Miller of the
Arizona Tax Commission and its
Secretary Jesse Boyce; candidate
for United States senator, REESE NJ.
Ling and all the delegates to the
present state tax inquisition who
hail from Mohave, Apache, Coco
nino, Navajo and Apache counties,
which contribute their exhibits and
cooperation toward the yearly sue
cess of the Northern Arizona Fair.
Cooperation. in fact was the key
note of the evenings speeches which
were brief and to the point.
To the tune How are you, old
boy, how are you the guests were
all hailed and when they attempted
to rise they were quelled instantcr,
with the exception OF w. 4. Drake,
who, when he had been applauded
till his lungs were exhausted still
had wind enough to consign the
diners to Hades.
X. \. Fredericks, president OF the
association, acted ably as toast
master, introducing the subject OF
the gathering in well-choscn words.
Il would say that our Prescott
hospitality is too well known to
need comment here tonight" said
the next speaker, T. s. Clark, "at
least, we of the Mile High City
admit it."
Mr.. Clark urged that the northern
counties continue the fine work OF
getting together, inaugurated at last
years fair, which he predicted would
be the precursor OF better ones
every year.
I. G. Norris was in accord with
these sentiments, bat declined to
enlarge upon them, for lack of time,
as the members of the tax confer
ence were ordered to attend a night
hearing at $780,
f. NJ. Murphy begged for coop
Grafton among all the counties in
the north. He thought Maricopa
md Yuma, our neighbors on the
south should join in the exhibits
and in sending visitors to see the
wonders of the more undeveloped
parts of the state. But. by all
means. the five counties which now
constitute the realm of the north
land should strive to make this
yearly getting together an object
for friendly rivalry and prowess.
His speech, for an effort OF three
minutes, hit the bulls eye and
brought vigorous applause from the
visitors.
Chairman lander responded for
the tax commission. Replying to
he thanks OF Chairman Fredericks
Tor having named the place OF meet
ing this year at Prescott, he said
hat the thanks were due almost
wholly to Secretary Fraser of the
Chamber OF Commerce, whose acti-
witty in securing favorable votes from
he other members of this meeting
made it impossible for him to name
my other place.
In concluding his speech. he al
uded to Prescott as the pearl pen
lent set in the bosom OF the
Bradshaw
W. o. Ruggles. who arranged and
Exhibited the Mohave county min
raj exhibit for the Northern Ari-
IONA Fair of 1918, had some charm
ng things to say OF the fine feeling
# fellowship which prevails here
When the clans OF the North con-
gregate and he hoped the organiza-
ion would grow with succeeding
