The quarter: | provided for us in the new court house will be very commodious and attractive and extremely well design cd for our purposes. The chair feels that such quarters are entirely worthy of much better furniture and fittings i than grace the present quarters and a committee on furnishing the new quarters will be announced later III i the evening, and we recommend tc | this committee the necessity of pro- viding suitable furniture, which it is suggested should be provided by per sonal subscriptions of the members We have an extraordinarily good line of exhibits of agricultural and mining products which can be tastefully ar ranged at very little expense in the new quarters. There should be pro- vided suitable large tables, chairs and files for our periodicals and suitable furniture for the private offices. Sub scriptions toward this end can prob- ably be secured from merchants in town :n the shape of furniture or fit- tings, and we believe that not over $500 expended judiciously in this con- nection will produce results which will be matter of pride to all of us.
 "Thc essential purpose of this body is to advertise the resources of Yava- pal county. The documents which we now have for distribution are largely out of date, and we suggest to the advertising committee, which will be later announced, the neces- sity and desirability of equipping the Chamber with suitable advertising matter which will more nearly set forth the present resources of the county than anything we now have available
 When your president came to this county 10 years ago, there was prac- tically but ono producing mine in the country; there were no roads what ever; any attempt at agriculture was of very meager character; there was no ce of cheap power available, and the health features of the county had been exploited to a very small de- gree. All of this has now changed to sucn an extent as to make us m many ways a remarkable example of what c9n be done by persistent ad- vcrtising The chair suggests that a pamphlet of suitable size should be prepared describing the mines and smelte-s of this county and written by an expert in the mining business, copiously illustrated by suitable cuts, which we are sure the various mining companies themselves will be glad to provide for us without expense to us. Another section of the pamphlet should describe our agricultural ad- vantagcs with suitable illustrations. Another section should take up the question of power as provided by the present power company. Another section should deal with the roads as available for motor transportation. both for business and pleasure, and a comprehensive map of the county, of the available roads of the county should be included. The benefits to those suffering from pulmonary di- seascs should be carefully covered by a special article showing the won- dcrful results obtained by the doc tors who have done so much for humanity in this county. Particular stress should be laid upon the cli- matic conditions in separate article by some suitably equipped writer who has available records: and the advan. .ages offered to homc-scekers should be covered in another article. It IS the idea of the chair than m many cases inquiries probably come to the Chamber for information on some special point and this advertising pamphlet should be so arranged that when 1t is printed, the various sec tions referring to the various points here enumerated, and others which will occur to Us later, can be struck off as separate individual pamphlets so that the smaller pamphlets can be sent where the larger ones might moi be of sufficient interest. IL Is oi course evident that person inquir' ing from tho secretary as to the ad' vantagcS of this county for a health resort may not be particularly in tcrestci in the mines nor i'll the power facilities of the county.
 The most important thing which confronts the citizens of Iavapa county at the present time is the nee cssity ior procuring short line roaC between Prescott and Jerome. Wt feel very decidedly that in view o the amount of taxable property whicl would Dc benefited by this road tha it is not proper nor should 1t be per mitted that the individual preference: 1 4 -f.1.,fI
