 There is man in Phoenix by the
 name of William E. Beck, and if
 there is a more ardent booster any
 where in the state for Prescott, let
 him hold up his right hand at once
 and be counted. Beck not only in
 an article, which appeared in the Ga
 zette, Wednesday, lauded the climate
 but put in good word for the peo-
 pie of the mile high city also. He
 said:
 Coming to. Southern Arizona in
 my boyhood days, and having resided
 in various parts of Arizona almost all
 of my life, am an old man in years.
 l believe that my opinion may be ap-
 preciated by some people with ref erence to climatic conditions, and this article it written solely for the in formation and benefit of those who are in quandary as to where to i spend the summer.
 "As Is well known to my friends, l think that every part, or any place in Arizona, IS good place to live, but at certain seasons of the year some places are better than others. I had lived in Southern Arizona more than 30 years, and never knew until the summer of 1913 what I had miss cd during all those years by not go ing to Prescott to spend my sum mers. I went to Prescott in May, year before last, and never returned to Phoenix until October.
 Last year, could not go until the 3rd of July, remaining in Prescott the balance of the year, and can truth fully say now, that the benefits I de rived from my two summers in the wonderful climate, cause me to feel as though I should have gone to spend my summers many years ago, but as it is, my general health, is much better, am stronger, sleep sounder have better appetite, and, what IS of far more importance to me an old bullet wound in my leg, which has troubled me for years, healed while I was at Prescott, and, from present appearances, will cause me no further trouble; and a very disagreeable malady, nasal catarrah, seems also to have left me, and had been troubled with it for years before 1 went to Prescott. I feel ten years younger than did two years ago.
 Aside from the cool shade and de- lightful mountain air, it is worth a trip to Prescott to get acquainted with the Prescott people, when you can meet men like Judge Wells, Judge Hawkins, Tom Norris, Bob Morrison, Homer Wood, George Rufner, F. s. Clark, Joe Young. In fact, every man you meet extends you hearty and cordial welcome. You are made to feel that your so- journ in Prescott be it long or short, will be filled with pleasure. And l when you leave you do 50 reluctantly.
 While the gentlemen mentioned | are among the best people on earth, l believe that they, or all of them with one exception Ooc Young) have wives and families, even better peo- pie than their husbands. Joe Young has been so busy for the last several years chasing horse thieves, cattle thieves and all kinds of murderers that he has not had time to get mar ried, and to make matters worse, his friends elected him sheriff n Nover- Der last, defeating one of the best sheriffs ill the state However. it is to be hoped that Joe may be able to forsake the bleak hills of single lie some day.
 What I have written in this article was written voluntarily. I own no property at Prescott, am not inter ested in any hotel or other business there, neither am 1 interested ill the Frontier Days or any other celebra- ton. No one has requested me to write this and 1 had no ulterior mo- tive in writing it."
