Prescott Frontier Days 1917, will be the best advertised of any of the series
 Progress by the committee of the chamber of commerce on the Mile High City's great midsummer Wild West show, has been rapid, according to a report submitted by President F. L. Haworth at the meeting last night. Haworth is ex-officio chair man of the Frontier Days committee, which organized for the year during the past week Already, many of the matters usually arranged but a few weeks prior to the celebration, have been completed. The printed pro gram will be out this year by the middle of next month.
 Advertising for the celebration will be heavy. The Santa Fe Railway Company has promised to handle the Frontier Days posters, to use matter relating to the celebration in all it's booklets and to secure from the traffic department rates like those of past Summers or even better. This means that the crowd for the 1917 Wild West show will exceed those of the past seasons.
 The local lodge. B. P. O. Elks has announced that during the Frontier week this year, it will hold a con clave of Elks, bringing members from all over Arizona and from many other States. This, it is said, will add ma terially 10 the list of visitors.
 Another matter that will result in bringing here a number of visitors will be the excursion of business men of the Fl Paso Chamber of Com merce, announcement of which was made last evening. The Push and Progress Special of the Pass City chamber, will arrive here on the morning of March 24 Nearly hum dred Fl Paso business men will be aboard In addition. the train will carry military band and orchestra, which will be placed at the disposal of the local chamber of commerce for concerts during the day. The mat ter has been placed in the hands of the reception and entertainment com mittec so that welcome can be pre- pared for the visitors. In letters to the chamber of commerce, the traffic manager of the Fl Paso chamber ex- presses appreciation and grateful re- mcmbrancc of the welcome extended them on their last visit
 Paving Once More. At the suggestion of Frank Whis- man, President Haworth will call the next meeting of the chamber of com mercc, Thursday night, March & with a special purpose ol securing the at tendance of as large a number of tax payers as possible. The object is to present to them some much more con elusive facts and figures anent paving than were presented at the last spec ial meeting, when the matter of the city'S plans for street improvements met rather cold reception. It is the purpose of the city authorities to pre- senI data that will convince the citi- zens that although concrete paving IS more desirable for the long run, at this time and under these circum- stances, the macadam, planned by the city, will fully supply the needs and at a much less cost than the more permanent form.
 The president announced that ow- ing to the legislative muddle, the bill permitting the county to provide a maintenance fund for the chamber of commerce, was hung up on the rocks, but that 1t was quite probable it would take its place among completed bills in due time In the meantime, an effort will be made to complete the maintenance fund by the usual form of subscriptions from members and friends of the institution.
 Floyd Williams was voted mem- bership in the chamber last night. Among those present at the meeting, were President Haworth, Vice-Presi- dert F. O. Smith, J. NJ. w. Moore. Dr. C. K. Hartzell. Tom Bate, A. C. Gilmore. F. C. WhiSman and Erie Lindhult.
