FRONTIER DAYS WERE
 HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
(From Fridays Daily.)

AIlOHl IIiud1 OdlI1.J
 Little business was transacted al the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on account of poor at, tendance during the holiday week It was planned to consider the report of T. E. Campbell, chairman of the Frontier organization, which was presented, and some other matters of importance were also on tap, but left over until the next meeting.
 Frontier Days Report.
 The report of Mir. Campbell was voluminously detailed and included reports from the various chairmen of committees. The report showed the celebration last July to have been a success from every standpoint. The total receipts amounted to $l2,oo0.S2 and the total disbursements to SIP. SS5.Sl, leaving a balance in the treas ury of $75.01 and unpaid accounts amounting to $156.40 When it is considered that in the amount of expenditures are included $3,545.73 for permanent improvements to the grounds and the purchase of horses and other property necessary to car ry on such an entertainment, the committee has a right to congratu' late itself and thank the people for such a successful termination of a great enterprise which makes for the welfare of this community.
 Chairmen of the various commit tees made reports which are of in terest, as follows:
 H. w. Heap, finance committee: Subscriptions, $,514OO; collected S6,9OS.35; uncollected, S6O5.65.
 C. E. Gentry, accommodation committee: Took care of 900 people This means visitors to the city who could not take care of themselves owing to the congested condition of the hotels. Expenditures, $l5S.S5.
 H. D. Aitken, music and decora- tions: Paid Prescott band, $357.40; 1 cots, $l3S
 J. M. Aitken, concessions; Receipts | s56S.
 M. A. Fraser, advertising commit tee: Expenditures, covering a mul- Iiplicity of things, S92422.
 F. s. Whisman, grounds: Grading, s552; improvements, $2,323.49; pur- chase bucking horse equipment, etc. S67024; total, $3,545.73.
 F. l.. Haworth, program commit .ee: Expenditures, $l,6lS95; prize money, $3,913.
 So comprehensive is the report hat not a single item. from the great ,st to the smallest was omitted, in ,luding the list of people who sign d the subscription paper, showing he amount promised by each onc md whether or not it was paid. The -eport was filed and its details will be passed on at the next meeting of the .hamber.

For Better Roads.

So far as the meeting of the Ma tional Good Roads Builders in Chi cago is concerned. Mir. Norris said 1t was attended by delegates from all over Canada and the United States, including some of the most scientific and practical road builders in both countries. State Engineer Cobb and Mir. Norris were the only representa- lives present from Arizona. The pro cecdings of the meeting were con- fined to the best methods of econom- ical and permanent road building. and to means of taking the road question out Of politics in this coun- try. He said that a new road ma terial was on exhibition at the meet ing which promised to revolutionize road building in this country. It is a compound of dirt and asphaltum, sixteen per cent oi the latter materi al It can be produced very cheaply and makes perfectly hard dirt road which is little affected by weather conditions, either of rain or cold. Common dirt IS mixed with asphalt at high temperature, and this ma terial IS spread over the road to | depth of three or four inches, after which the future stability of the road Is assured.
 It leaves one with an optimistic spirit of the kind that inspires to talk with MT Norris. for he IS loade with data of the most direct character and based on conservatism which Is characteristic of the man.

Other Business.

According to the report of the treasurer, the general fund contained $43-29 and the Pine Crest fund, $77832. This was read by the secretary. adopted and placed on file.
 A letter was read from United States senator Marcus A. Smith re fusing to support Senate Bill No. S27 relating to the reclamation O. arid lands.
 It was decided to leave the decis- ion on a suggestion of J. NJ. w. Moore as to the change of names ol some of the standing committees for the next meeting. Judge Moore pro- posed to amend article twelve oi section one of the bylaws so as to change the name Of the Dry Farm committee to that of Committee on Agriculture and Horticulture and make the Livestock Committee an adjunct of the Agricultural commit tee. T. E. Campbell suggested the name of Animal Industry for tine Livestock committee.

WAVE PROSPERITY COMING, SAYS
 NORRIS
(From Fridays DaiIy.)

(From tndays Dally)
 "ThiS country is on the verge oI the greatest era of substantial pros perity it has ever seen," said Mir. T. c. Norris yesterday, who returned from an extensive trip through the east a few days ago. You can even feel it in the atmosphere and see it on every hand,' he declared, "and the time, IS not far distant when t will percolate through the channels of business in the southwest and ev- anywhere else"
 Mir. Norris was in Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, and many other in- dustrial centers reaching as far north as Milwaukee, and while the nature of his business Is not for the public. 1t was of such character that he was brought into direct contact with some of the heads of the largest en- terprises in the east-men and cor porations who are promoters and
 
 manufacturing industries, and every other kind of big business. He declared that invariably these men would tell him a wave of prosperity had al ready started in financial centers of the most sane and prospectively en- during quality that had ever been known. Mir. Norris said that the business interests of the country, es- pecially in railroad lines, were free to admit that part of their with holding of investments in improve ments and development of property, making extensions of lines, and other incidental progress, was not of ne- cessity but as a means of what might l be called retaliation for what they considered injustice in controlling | powers over them. But they insisted that greater share of their cur taIlments was on account of neces- | sity. All these men, however, admit | that the result of the squeezing" policy of the recent past, the other name of which is unreasonable and | ruinous control" has been to awak- en the great interpretations of the country to the necessity of re-adjust- ing their business to a smaller mar gin of profits, on d greater volume of investments. And this, said Mir. Norris, means much for this country | 1t means that instead of moniedi men trying to make large profits of small investments they will enlarge their investments to an extent which will maintain their gross profits on smaller percentage basis. Mr. Nor ris does not look for a spasmodic prosperity-an era which comes in like a whirlwind and goes out IF about the same way, but rather for a steady uplift that will be pcrma- nent and of such a substantial na, ture that it cannot be easily disturb ed. He thinks his observations in the east justify the statement that the dawn of an era of permanent prosperity and lasting business con fdence is at hand, because big bus; ness has arrived at place in the progress of the country when they realize that this kind of prosperity is what the people demand and what they will have no matter how severe the preliminaries may be in securing it.
