 1 In view or this eXTaoriinary show
 ing. t wor q seem thnt our cam paign fer increased membership should meet with no small degree Of success.
 There exists an era of good feel ing between all sections of the county and this District not known before To some extent this was occasioned
 by the publicity given these sections through the Review Mining Edition, the Club sending its then secretary to prepare and write the articles ! With TomlGtone, 1t was further
 brought about in mutual interest as
 the Stabs Highway, while Douglas only recently has expressed a desire 10 cooperate and showed an initiative
 in that direction. lIetween Tucson
 and Bisbee relations are most cordial.
 while with Phoenix there is an en- tente that has not been known ,n
 the past. especially on road matters and the Borderland Route. Relations
 with Fl Paso and Tucson were
 brought closer by excursions from
 these points and the receptions ten
 dered them here.
 While the Club was active in de-
 feating an objectionable County Seat
 removal bill and active in the pass
 age of another it took no further
 action upon learning that a referen-
 dunn was to be sought, refrained from
 ineugurating a campaign for the Dis
 trict as a defensive proposition. and
 wi receive support that no other
 section can attain.
 Recently it has been noted that this
 District is becoming more and more
 distributing point, owing to the
 more rapid settleasht of the adja. cent valleys. The present Directorate has sought to create the best of feel ing with these ranchers and assure them of a constant friendship and willingness to help them develop the Valley. This trade is one of growing importance. as is that with Fort Hua chuca For the Sulphur Springs Val
 ley we have advocated two north and south roads, with laterals connecting the ranches with them. In the San Pedro little can be done until the settlers determine where they want roads and whether they are willing to open them and leave them open. Frequently the Club has been called upon by different organizations tc ratify or object to matters of especial Int, rest to themselves. Where such . matters were within the province oi Cab and no interests were in any ny opposed. such action has always
 teen taken: and on numerous occa ions results have been achieved thai r have brought benefits to the District and expressions of grateful apprecia tion to our organization.
