thus utilizing TO great advantage the
Parsons bequest OF $4,000.
Another creditable thing noted was
the bringing OF the state Sunday
school convention TO Prescott.
And not least among the list OF
accomplishments was the forwarding
OF the scheme 10 build a dam and
bring thousands OF additional acres
OF land under cultivation. a work
already in progress by the Hassay-
ampa Alfalfa Farms Co.
Then there was the raising OF the
$500 which secured the great desert
classic race over the northern route
and made this city one OF the night
controls. the Wichita agricultural ex-
hibit which captured nearly all the
prizes worth anything and gave this
state advertising OF inestimable value
and the state fair winnings as the
result OF the same character OF ex-
hibits.
During the year the name OF the
organization was changed to the
Yavapai County Chamber OF Com
merce. and Mr.. Fraser spoke OF the
advancement possible as result OF
widening the field of the chamber
and taking in a greater scope OF &C
tivity. Mr.. Fraser also touched on
the future prospects OF the chamber
and mentioned the TACT that under
the circumstances which confronted
the city and state with the COM
mencement of the new year a great
er effort would be necessary on the
part OF every member TO make the
work OF the chamber what it should
be during the coming twelve months.
Both reports were optimistic and at
the close OF their reading met with
hearty applause.
The mere reading OF the list Of
accomplishments OF this valuable or
ganization does not give compre-
hensive idea OF what it has really
meant to Prescott and Yavapai coun-
ty. During the past year the organi-
cation has been in the very best OF
hands. Mr. Joslin. the president has
spared no pains and given much
time to the promotion OF the cham
Der. and every single meeting when
he was in town and able to be away
llOill HOlllC llN lldS DNNll at LliN dCoh
directing affairs and in the collec-
ton OF money and forwarding OF ev-
cry material interest, he has given
freely OF his superior business talent,
the influence OF which has had 4
telling effect.
The active work accomplished by
Mr.. Fraser, the able secretary, has
also counted for good every hour OF
every day during the year. He has
never slept one moment on the job,
and his energy and spirit have con-
stantly reached out after new things
and brought dignity and standing
to the organization which is only at
tainable by the application OF tact
and executive ability which comes
through experience in such work. At
the meeting last night many mem
hers spoke among themselves OF the
efficient services of the secretary.
Campaign On.
1t will be the purpose OF the orga-
nization to at once commence cam
paign of activity which will add even
new zest 10 the admirable spirit OF
enterprise which has been manifest
ed in the past 1t was shown by
the report OF the secretary last night
with reference to finances, that the
organization is in good shape. II
was also shown that it should be
not only kept that way but increas-
ed, as there are many things to be
done which require money. A COM
mittee the past few days has been
busy collecting dues, and soon there
is to be a campaign made for the
securing of new members. Presi'
dent Joslin stated last night that he
had talked with no less than a half
dozen men in the past few days who
said if necessary they would double
their donations in order to give the
chamber a greater impetus. In ev-
erything said or done at the meeting
there was the evidence of gratiiica-
ion at past accomplishments and Of
1 determination TO make the coming
year overshadow anything in the his
tory OF the organization. And when
three hundred men such as belong
20 the Yavapai Chamber OF Com
merce set their hands to the wheel
t must turn their way.
