 will be watched" for the remainder
 of his young life. The spy system
 went into effect yesterday afternoon at ? o'clock. Remarkable to relate
 the subject of espionage made no ob'
 jection. but to the contrary was proud of the fact that he was so honored.
 Mir. Fraser was at his desk, despite that his relations with the local boost body had been severed, when crowd of his friends walked in upon him.
 The ceremonies attendant upon the presentation were brief and informal but what was said was heartfelt and sincere w. A. Drake, vice-president of the s. F., P. & P.

 R. Mines in behalf of those who were responsible for the gift. express cd regret over MT Fraser's depart ure and wished him full need of success in his new field of cndeavor.
 Mr. Drake's remarks in part were as follows:
 "Mr. Fraser: Some of your friends decided that they wanted to be good to you. and to force you to take from Prescott to your new field a pocket piece. a souvenir at which you would occasionally have to look because you must have some thought of time, and when you take note of it, you will. unless we have made an error in your measurement, that is, "sized you up wrong" have some thought of those still living in Prescott In other words we think we have fixed you so that you can't forget us how ever alluring and enticing you may find the city on the border.
 But we have come to the parting of the ways. Your way leads you to I larger city. Your work may be on l larger scale and your results may be bigger, but we have faith to be- ieve that your sincerity in work, and your aims at results can be no higher or more sincere than those with which we have become so familiar for l time of four years duration.
 'Now, I hate the word 'hattcry' and | shall always recall the old saying hat it is a poor coin and should be attempted only on foolish people, but here is a great difference between it | md sincere commendation; therefore | io not for a moment think we arc at cmpting to put something over you.
 believe the whole Yavapai County | -hamber of Commerce will stand be- lind me in making the unqualified tatcment that the greatest measure ,f its success is due to the cxccp- ional efficiency of its energetic sec ctary. When you came to the Pres ott Chamber of Commerce. it was III experiment and it did not know what it could do. It now knows of Is accomplishments and for some inc past has set the pace for others. The vim and vigor which it displayed tarted a spirit of emulation among thcr chambers that has resulted in rcat good to the state. No chamber as yet succeeded in cXcelling it, and ut one is in its class and that only y its size.
 As before said, we are obliged to ay all this because its secretary knew ow to skillfully utilize his instruc
 ions Now. do not go away with : DO much conccit; the big head' as he boys say, else our talk would be armful even ii truthful. {
 "Wc hope you will always have indly feeling for this chamber and ( lc Prescott citizens. We arc not for , ctful of the fact that you can sti i've us lots of help Don't get too f IT with the old saying that out of ght, out of mind Watch, your < avs. keen away from the land of !.
