(From Sundays Daily.)

man for the many friends of Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Doyle at the ban
quet given them at the Yavapai
Club; Friday evening paid them a
well-deserved tribute. Lack Of
space in Saturdays issue prevent
ed the remarks being published in
full. Owing to numerous requests
received yesterday the Journal-Min-
er this morning produces the speech
of Mr.. Norris, on that occasion
which was as follows:
"Mr. Doyle, something over ten
years ago you came among us, a
young man with no ties except pos
sib1y a few hampering tinges Of
rheumatism. Our friendly skies
soon removed all these and plant
ed within you assurances for the
future. 1t was not long till the
whispering winds through the leaves
OF our mountain pines took on the
tune, familiar and old, of "The Girl
| Left Behind Me-. and Cupid did
the rest. Probably the most inn
portant decade of your lifetime has
been spent among us, and you have
accumulated something.
by your side is that splendid
wife, whom we have all come to
know so well and TO SO highly es-
TEEN, and then your excellent boy,
with the early foundation of use
full life, and all your friends. With
tina: you have the health and prom
Use of years. to awaken the keen
est interest in the affairs of life
aud your country, all crowned with
a good reputation.
"Your part in our future veal is
not despaired of by your going.
You have gained useful knowl-
edge of the affairs, resources, ne
cessities and opportunities of Ari-
IONA. May it not be the possession
of this knowledge, with your ability
in your particular line of business,
seen from abroad under the light
of your surroundings here, brought
about your present associations?
at is natural for your friends to
regret deeply the fact of your go
ing and also taking from our midst
your delightful family, but we have
some compensation in the hope that
your going will not destroy the
ties which now bind you to us, but
rather that you will bear words of
commentator of the State and its
people.
"Our civilization is promoted by
the spirit of change. Our best men
are not always the men who new
err move. Progress requires mo-
tion-action.
at may be that your going from
us is not i'll fortune. Our coun-
try's merits can only be made
known to advantage by their story
from the lips of friends; our re-
sources, unknown abroad, can only
be found by those who come to see
and only those come who learn
from our friends, speaking with fav-
or. Our best capital is our credit
gained by those who have been
among us and 60 to tell of what
is really here.
MAY we not have left with us
when you have gone, the assurance
that wherever you are, in whatever
prominence of position, we shall
have such fair commedation at your
hands as will be OF much good to
us by your having lived among US;
a good which you can do by your
changed relations, and which you
could not do otherwise?
at is to your credit that while
ir Arizona you have worthily gain
ed such a name as to call atten-
ton from a distance.
BE assured that on whatever I
occasion or whatever the degree OF
your promotion, you have with you,
vitalized at all times with a most
definite esteem, the good will and
best wishes OF your friends i'll Pres
colt.
"As a small token of that es-
teen and cherished friendship ] beg
you to accept from my hand on
behalf of your friends this little
watch. 1t is not much. 1t is Sim
pie but it is pure.

TO William H. Doyle from his
friends OF Yavapai Club" express

real feeling and spirit Of those in
whose behalf it is given"
