WILL PRESCOTT
 CELEBRATE AGAIN?
From Saturday $ DaiIy.O

(From Saturday Daily.)
 II. w. Heap was yesterday desig- mated as chairman of committee to investigate the feasibility of holding a frontier days celebration in Pres colt this year. And no sooner had he been named than he commenced to get busy, his object being to address a note to each business and profes sional man in the city, and to all other public spirited people, putting the plain question to them, Do you think we should have a frontier days celebration in Prescott next July 4th?" The query may contain the promise to cali later on the ones thus addressed, in case they favor the enterprise. At least his action will give the Chamber of Commerce something of definite nature upon which to base consideration of the proposition.
 Yesterday, following the publica ton of the proceedings of the Cham Der of Commerce, the matter was the subject of a great deal of convcrsa- ton about the city. It seemed to be the opinion of many that by all means Prescott should give a celebration this year, even if it never did again. The celebration last Fourth of July was pronounced success, and 1t advertised Prescott all over the southwest and even farther than this, in a manner which more than repaid the city for all the money expended. And the beauty of the last years celebration was that everyone secm- ed to be in the harness and the show was financially successful; not that it made any profit for the association behind it, but in the way of paying expenses. A number of horses and ! much other property arc on hand ! and this year a show could be car ricd out with great deal less cx- pense than last year. All these points are being made in favor of the pro- ject, in addition to the generally ad- mittcd fact that if there is to be no show this year the project should be dropped for all time and the property disposed of.
 Anything like such celebration must be known as an annual affair or it cannot succeed,' said one busi- ness man yesterday Either there must be an annual Prescott frontier days celebration established, or the whole project should be thrown over board. Especially is it true that if we cannot give a show this year, the second one, we should not plan on going any farther with the enterprise at any time"

WOMAN TRYING TO
 LOCATE LOST MONEY
(From Sundays Daily.)

A letter received by P. J. Farley,
 clerk of the Superior court yesterday,
 serves as a sample of the communi-
 cations constantly coming to that of-
 fee. It is from Mrs. w. T. Bryan,
 and contains a most pitiful story,
 couched, however, in language that is hard to understand and chiro- graphy of which is almost illegible. the missive comprising one legal sheet of typewriting, when decipher ed and copied As sample of the manner in which the letter is writ ten the prelude suffices, which reads: Address pinckneyville, Illinois, R no box 88 january the Is 1915 to the clerk of cort and Shorf of the coun- ty & surroundens of Prescott ari- zonia."
 The gist of the letter is that the writer is widow with four children. and that her deceased husband and his brother John Bryan, had some mining property somewhere in this country and put some of the proceeds of the same in a bank the name of which she does not know, it being her object to locate it and secure the same for the support of herself and children, representing that she Is d cripple and in hard circumstances. She says that her husband died sud- lenly while en route home with her rom Olympia, Washington, and told Ter none of the details of his busi- ness before he died.
 If her story has any foundation. some bank in the west has a sum of money on deposit to the credit of w. I. Bryan, a portion of which belongs o her and a portion to the brother 'f the deceased man. The amount 'f the alleged deposit IS not stated.

GOLOWATER BILL MAY SETTLE
 QUESTION
REPEAL PENSION BILL IS ACCOMPLISHED IN SEN ATE AND NOW GOES TO HOUSE FOR PASSAGE
(From Tuesdays Oaiiy.)

(From Tuesdays Oaiiy)
 It is probable that the passage of the Goldwater bill by the senate Sat urday will have the effect of stopping all activity outside of the legislature with reference to getting rid of the so-called old age and mothers pen sion bill. The Goldwater bill prac- tically repeals the law passed at the last general election and places the matter on decent basis.
 Under this measure poor farms and county hospitals remain intact and there are provisions made fer worthy ones outside these institutions at the rate of fifteen dollars per month persons whom the present law does not reach. The fact that the bill passed by unanimous vote of all the members of the senate who were present, sixteen, testifes to the un- popularity of the initiated measure. The bill now goes to the house and there is no doubt of its passage there.
 The probable reason that this legis- lative activity will stop the movement not only in Yavapai county, but oth- CT counties of the state, to get away with this makeshift law, is because the matter will be brought to the at tention of the Supreme court by the legislative action as soon or sooner than in any other way. After the bill shall have passed both houses and been signed by the governor, it will be the law of the state, unless there is interference on the part of some one who desires the matter to be referred to the Supreme court on the ground that the legislature had no power to repeal an initiated law Then the contention as to whether initiated laws, which did not receive a majority of all votes cast at the election at which they are passed are subject to the law preventing the legislature from repeating initiated measures will be decided. If the Supreme court de- cides that the legislature had the right to repeal the pension law, then that body has the ripht to reDea1 all the laws initiated at the last general election, for not one of them passed by majority of all the qualified cleo tors.

Eureka Sends In
 Another Shipment
{ (FTom Tuesday's Daily.)

The second shipment of high grade gold ore from the Eureka mine at Walker during the present month ar rived yesterday. consigned to R. II. Hetherington, and will be forwarded to Hayden to the American Smelt- ing X Refining Company for treat ment. This property is being operat- ed by Stukey Brothers, and in ad dition to the lower grade ores that are being milled on the ground, is reported to be producing more satis- factorily than at any time in the past two years. This firm also has taken over the Shelton group that adjoins. and is preparing to begin large eN- ploration.

cd. That an annual levy be provid- ed and the fund derived therefrom be expended in the several counties of the state in proportion to their as sessed valuation, provided, however, that each county shall have expended therein not less than $15,000. The entire appropriation to be expended under the directiou of the board of supervisors and state engineer.
 "Thc necessity for the minimum provision of $15,0OO will be seen in the case of Apache, Navajo, Santa Cruz, Graham and Yuma counties. The state at large would contribute $l6,2l1 toward the construction of the state highway in Apache and Navajo and $14,44O in Santa Cruz, Graham and Yuma counties. It is also necessary for economical con struction to have fund of not less than ten to fifteen thousand dollars.
 Prison Labor.
 In addition to the above levy l would recommend an appropriation not to exceed $5,000 per month to cover the expense of working prison CTS on the state highways. Prisoners under guard cannot be worked with economy unless they are employed in the same locality, without this spc- cial appropriation. It would not be practicable to employ them in but two counties, Maricopa and Cochisc. If it is agreed that their employment upon the state highways is desirable and there is none other for them at the present time, this appropriation is necessary unless their labor is to be confined to the two counties named Furthermore, counties with large and difficult mileage of roads to con struct such as have Graham and Yu- ma, cannot possibly hope to com pletc their links in the proposed state highway system without such assist ance as could be given through the employment of prison labor at state expense"
