(From Fridays DaiIyl

Enthusiastic was me regular meet ing of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce, held last evening. Rain and snow did not prevent the attend ancc of normal meeting and more important business was transacted than at any meeting of the fiscal year.
 The annual smoker and boosters reunion of the chamber of commerce received first consideration. Chair man K. \. Fredericks, of the recep- ton and entertainment committee, announced that this event will be held at the Yavapai Club, one week from last night, Thursday. January 18th. To accommodate the large crowd which will be in attendance it has been deemed advisable to hold the smoker in the ball room. Tickets will be sold at a popular price of 50 cents each, and every member is invited to bring guests The Prescott City Band will be on hand to enliven the occa- sion. appreciating as that 'organiza- ton does, the splendid support which it receives from the chamber.
 Eight snappy speeches have been provided by the entertainment com- mittee, which will range from a key note talk by President Haworth to an address on Anything at AL" by Rev. Joel Hedgpeth of the South Methodist church, and a talk on mat ters in general by the we'll known wit of Mayer, Deacon" Skinner Af- ter due consideration by the com- mittee, 1t was deemed advisable to have plenty of the weed, together with light repast in evidence, but that all Scotch, bourbon and rye would of necessity be barred from the occasion. Under the direction of Dick" Lamson the musical end of the smoker will be carried out to per- lection. no less than 20 voices now being in training for the festive oc- casion.
 Acting upon a suggestion previous ly made by J. NJ. w. Moore, the chamber took up for consideration the establishment of the old capitol building and grounds in West Pres colt as a permanent State monument. The president was authorized to ap- point a committee of three, with Judge Moore as chairman, to look into the matter and make recommen- dations, to be acted upon by the leg islativc committee, at next Thurs day nights smoker. The idea in volved is that of the restoration of the old log capitol building to its original form and the beautifying of the neighboring grounds, upon the ac- quisition of the same by the State of Arizona.
 George w. Nilsson of the member ship committee, scored as high man of that committee, when he submit ted for membership in the chamber the names of J. E. Mccullough of the Prescott State Bank, Attorney Perry Ling, George w. Hance of Camp Verde, Dr. H. L. Schornick and At torney Herndon Norris of the new law firm of Norris & Norris. Besides the above, applications for member ship were received from the Arizona ;, Mine Supply Company. Mir. Wakelin, manager, Pickerell's Service Station and the Prescott hotel.
 Believing that early publicity should be given to the three main offsprings of the chamber of commerce as soon as possible and that the dates for the Chautauqua, Frontier Days and the Northern Arizona Fair should be set without delay, Mir Fredericks remark ed that meetings of these various in- stitutions should be called by the president and plans made immediately for their furtherance. Commenting further, Mir Fredericks moved that the president appoint a governing board of five members. two of whom at least should be cattlemen of Yava- pai county to assume charge of the Frontier Days celebration for 1917, the president to be a member and ex- officio chairman of the board.
