 Finance Problems.
 While discussing finance, the com i mittee, consisting of President F. l.. ] Haworth and Secretary Grace Sparkes i reported that in an hour-session yes l terday, they had secured Sl, 200 to- ward the maintenance fund of the in- | stitution. It was reported that no | contributor seen during the hour, had | failed to raise his contribution over that of last year, and no contributor | had failed to put down a substantial . sum for this years work. It was . shown that the work of the chamber l. of commerce is broadening out, and | that each department is becoming 1. more and more important. The num- Der of inquirics-new ones-answered 1. during the past month constituted a record for this class of work.
 In the event house bill No. 38-' making it mandatory upon counties 1 of the fourth class, of which Yavapai {, is the sole and most distinguished | example, to appropriate between S6,- | GOO and Sl2,00O a year for the main | tenance of the advertising department of the chamber of commerce-passes and becomes law, only the first call | for contributions to the maintenance | fund will be made.

 To Reward the Scouts.
 A movement was started to express the appreciation of the chamber of commerce for the excellent work the Boy Scouts are doing, and promise to do in the future, not only for the in- stitution, but for the community. It was decided to put up one or more medals, to be awarded to the Scouts ton. Plans for the competitive eX- will be perfected later, but the system will be series of ques- tions relating to Prescott and its civic problems.
 In recognizing the work of the Scouts. the chamber of commerce is following its custom of getting back of every movement that tends to ben eft the community. Services of the Boy Scouts to the city are numerous, but prominent among the things they have done or are planning are to col lect an exhibit of Indian relics for the chamber of commerce, to assist in handling cleanup day and to build an easily accessible trail from the city to the summit of Thumb Butte
 Already, a large number of valu- able relics have been gathered by the Scouts. As soon as the collection Is complete, it will be given space in the chamber of commerce rooms.
 The advantages of a trail up the Butte are numerous. The summit af- lords the finest possible view of the city and surrounding hills, and if it were more accessible, would be a attraction to the visitor.
 The Scouts have already laid out a ' trail, and have asked the chamber of to donate the material for ! series of ladders, to be used to scale l he precipitous parts Of the trail.
