FRONTIER DAYS cE1E-
 BRATION ASSURED
(From Fridays bailx.l


 Prescott will give a frontier days celebration this year.
 It will be in charge of the Yavapa; County Chamber of Commerce.
 Harry w. Heap will head an ex- ecutive committee Of this organiza- ton to carry the decision into effect.
 There will be at least three days of sport on just as large a scale as it is possible.
 These determinations were made unanimously last night at the meet ing of the Chamber of Commerce, with the possible exception of the appointment of Mir Heap as chair man of the executive committee. It was the unanimous desire of the chamber however, that he serve, but Mir. Heap was not present and Pres ident Aiken said he would communi- cate with him today and place him ill charge if possible.
 Reports Favorable.
 The matter came up on the read ing of report from MT. Heap who. as a committee to investigate the feasibility of celebrating. recommend cd that a celebration be held and that an executive committee be plac- cd in charge of the arrangements.
 The report of Mir. Heap was bas- cd on fifty replies to one hundred and ten queries mailed to the business men of Prescott, who last year sub scribed to the frontier fund. These showed that four to one of those who had thus far mailed replies were in favor of celebration, and Secre- tary Fraser said he had talked to many of those who had answered mo" and that they were now in favor of the celebration, having not eX- actly understood the query.
 While the matter was being dis cussed it developed, from statements made by the secretary and Dr. Rop- CT, that there was considerable en- thusiasm in Phoenix and other places in the matter and prospects were ex cellent for a very large attendance. Secretary Fraser said that he had it pretty straight that the management of the San Diego Panama Exposition was thinking seriously of closing up the show until next June on account of the fact that it was not proving anything like success at this time, taking this as an indication that this exposition would have little or no effect on a frontier celebration here.
 There was not single dissenting vote among those present at the meeting last night when the matter of celebrating came up.; on the oth- CT hand there seemed to be a spirit of enthusiasm in favor of not only celebrating this year but of making the enterprise an annual event. Ac- cording to expressions of those who talked at all, 1t would seem that the prospects for a booming summer in Prescott. in the way of tourists who will be here to spend the hot months and take in the frontier celebration, were never better. t
 Routine Business.
 President Aitken appointed J. M. w. Moore chairman of the agricul tural and animal husbandry commit tee with power to choose the other members of the same.
 It was stated that Tom Campbell, state tax commissioner, who was chairman of the frontier committee last year. would be ill Prescott in a few days and at that time his report concerning the show of 1914 will be taken up and disposed of. Z!
 Chairman Yount, of the advertis- ing committee, reported that the Prescott Medical Association had spent two. evenings considering a pa per which had been prepared with reference to Prescott as a health re- sort, and that the matter would be closed up soon. ,..t...-....
