 We want every business man of the city to come to the smoker, to hear the speakers. to learn what the Chamber of Commerce has done and what it is planning to do, and then later each of these men will be solic- tied to join in the work. But none of this solicitation will be done dur ing the smoker. The affair will be a get-tosether proposition, to talk things over and to discuss matters ol great importance to the city, and while we want every man to join the Chamber of Commerce. we will make no efforts to that end during the Thursday night entertainment"
 The program for the affair is fast being whipped into shape and will likely be completed this afternoon when it will be given out. It was de cided yesterday afternoon that Prof Junius Jordan and N.

Superior Court.

Last Tuesday jury session of the Superior Court convened in Kingman, but only one case of criminal nature came before it, that being a man who was tried for bootlegging. A jury was empaneled and the man speedily found guilty. Judge Ellis fined him 1OO$ and a suspended jail sentence. Notice of appeal was given by counsel in the case.
 Cases that were to be tried by an outside judge were postponed, and the shortest jury session since statehood was over.
 Judge Ellis has been keeping the calendar of his court cleared of actions as fast as possible and no litigant may now complain of the delays of the law.
