 0F COMMERCIAL CLUB
Joseph H.. Gray Resumes Position of Secretary of Warren District
 Organization

Joseph H. Gray returned to the city Sunday from Phoenix, where he recently resigned from the editorial staff of the Republican to answer the call such as Bisbee makes upon all who leave her, says the Bisbee Review
 Yesterday he resumed his position as secretary of the Commercial club, from which he resigned to go to Phoenix with the understanding that should the capital city fail to exhibit the life to which Bisbee accustoms it's residents. and the desire to return became such as to involve future happiness. the old place would be his.
 Secretary Purdon, who turned his office over to Mir. Gray yesterday, after having perfectly excellent relief service during couple of months, will remain here for a time and then go to Douglas, where he has busi- ness interests which will engage his attention.
 The return of Secretary Gray to the district is a matter of a great deal of pleasure to the many friends of the gentleman. Beside which his versatility in publicity and business matters makes him always q very valuable asset to the business com munity. from the vantage point of di- rect association with it's principal 1 commercial organization.

The chief reason for the close

down, and it was impossible to
carry on business in the ordi-
nary way. This situation arose
because the bankers could not
