ABILITY OF LOCAL BANKER
IS RECOGNIZED
(From Saturdays Daily

Expressions of congratulation
mingled with sincere regret, were
heard on every hand yesterday
when it became known that as a
result of his recent trip to San
Francisco, William H. Doyle, for
nearly the past ten years connected
with the Bank of Arizona as as
sistant cashier. had been rendered.
and had accepted the vice-presi-
dency of the Merchants National
Bank of San Francisco, one of the
strongest financial institutions OF
the coast metropolis. Mr.. Doyle
will leave Prescott within the next
week or ten days.
In Mr.. Doyle's decision to go
to a field of broader endeavor, Pres
colt sustains a distinct loss. Quiet,
unassuming. but peculiarly gifted in
the profession of banking, he has
made many friends whose best
wishes for his success will follow
him. This small city has had no
more public-spirited citizen and
none more respected than he. But
while realizing that his place in the
community will be a hard one to
fill. Mr.. Doyle's friends, whose
name is legion, are elated that the
marked ability of a man in small
town. has received deserved recog-
milton by elevation to one of the
highest positions in banking circles
on the Pacific coast.
Within the past few years Mr..
Doyle has received four hattering
offers from metropolitan banks but
he was so attached to Prescott.
where he has enjoyed exceptional
health that he declined them. In the
present case, however. he could not
in justice to himself refuse an offer
that is accompanied by munlhcent
salary as we'll as the honor OF a
high official position.

WATER PROBLEM ON
SANTA FE SOLVED

The Santa Fe Pacific Railroad
Company has under consideration
at the present time. two large wa
ter undertakings in the north, one
for Seligman in this county, and
the other for Flagstaff in Coconino
county.
The plans OF the Seligman project
call for utilizing the waters of a
certain section of Walnut creek by
pumping and gravity, a pipe line
conducting the flow for a distance
OF over twenty miles to the point
desired. \ preliminary survey was
recently made. and construction it
is believed will begin in a short
time
The company and the city OF
Flagstaff have at last arrived at an
amicable adjustment as to the rights
each claimed in the famous Jack
Smith springs, lying to the north
OF Flagstaff, about twenty miles.
The company will begin construc-
ton in a short time of an immense
reservoir. to cost over 100000. This
source is capable OF furnishing daily
at least 100000 gallons. The pres
sure is so great that the water
must first be stored, and then serv-
ed as desired, from a lower Gle
vatiOn.
The Del Rio source is to remain
unaffected, it is also reported. the
company maintaining pumping
station and at the present time
sending train load of water cars
daily to the main line out OF Ash
Fork.

DYING THOUGHS WERE
FOR HIS FRIENDS
(From Fridays Dailv.)

During the last moments of his
life, Milton Tregellas mentioned
very affectionately the friends who
had visited and ministered unto him
during his painful illness. He re
ferred to them by name; and dwelt
lovingly on the acts OF kindness
he had received at their hands. He
spoke especially of the children who
had so often brought flowers to his
bedside, and in many others ways
had tried to alleviate his sufferings
To all his brothers in The local
lodge of Elks. of which he was a
devoted member, he desired that
his deepest and tenderest senti-
mcnts OF fraternity and gratitude
be extended, adding assurances that
in the Immortality whose gates were
then opening to him in the beauty
of life's twilight, all these cherish
ed words and deeds should be re-
corded on the fadelcss tablets of
love and memory.
Mr. Tregellas especially request
ed that these farewell expressions
be published, and in respecting this
wish. the widow and other relatives
desire to manifest theig heartfelt
gratitude for the many services OF
love and devotion which have been
so generously extended throughout
the period of affliction and bcreave-
mcnt. with the devout wish that
should these loyal friends or their
loved ones ever be visited by the
shadows of sorrow, their burdens
may be lightened and their griefs
comforted in like manner and dc.
gree.

POP THE QUERY TO
ADJUTANT GENERAL
CFrom SATURDAYS Daily.N

Adjutant General Harris will to
day be communicated with in Phoc
nix with view of arriving at a
definite understanding in regard to
the financial status of the local ma

er of the Chamber OF Commerce
and Robert K Porter, chairman OF
the military committee being the
interrogators.
When Company E of Prescott
was disbanded in May of 1918, a
balance of S1oO.5S which was in
the treasury, was sent to the State
officers in Phoenix. 1t the pres
ent time. a rocky road is being en-
countered by the local platoon in
its efforts to start into life right
and with an even break financially
Already, however, the platoon has
become indebted to the extent OF

also submits a claim from Phoenix
against the Chamber of Commerce
amounting to $143.
Recently a military committee was
appointed by the Chamber of Com
MERGE to delve into the state of
matters as they now exist ard Mr..
Porter's work has resulted in the
unearthing of these and othe- in
teresting facts. Hence, it is intend
ed that the adjutant general be APP
pealed to with a local version OF
the case-why not have the Com
pany Z. funds turned oyer to the
new machine gun platoon? This
money. taken down to Phoenix was
subscribed by local merchants and
not by the government. The 500
month then paid by the govern
ment to the company did not suf-
fee to even meet overhead expenses
After reply is received from the
adjutant general, the committee will
be in a position to shape its work
for the future. One of the most
important tasks will be the raising
of a $500 fund for 1914 with which
to meet the overhead expenses OF
the platoon.

SEVEN

in which the duty was reduced in
order to sharpen the wits" of the
producers at home, there has been
striking increase in importation
and in most cases a corresponding
decrease in expectation due appar-
emily to a slowing down in preduc-
ton by our manufacturers.
In cotton manufactures, on which
there was a reduction OF duties, the
imports show an increase of nearly
S5.OOO.OOO. while the exports show
a falling off in total value. despite
the fact that the Department of
Commerce is industriously footing
its horn about the wonderful work
it is doing in finding markets for
our cotton goods.
Meantime the talk about increased
supplies Of food and reduced prices
through the removal of duties on
foodstuffs is making manifest its
real qualities. The records of the
six months show an importation OF
100000 pounds OF fresh beef in
that market.
