 COMPLETED
(From Sundays daiiy.s

Stay! Cowboy! Let 'er Buck. 7" We're off for the biggest and best show Prescott has ever given" That's the way Lester Ruffner, arena direc- tor of the Prescott Frontier Days worded it, when he and the Secretary had completed the program and had it ready for the press yesterday. And Lester is just about right, incidently | There never was year in the history of the State, when the Frontier Days will be as sought for as this. While the official 1918 Frontier Days con test was cancelled by the manage ment owing to the war, the 1919 Frontier Days will be the biggest victory contest held in the State of Arizona.
 With the acceptance of E. s. Clark, as executive chairman and He'd" Aitken, as the chairman Of the finance committee, and the assurance of the hearty cooperation of every one, this years contest will be a winner from start to finish.
 Lee Eaworth, through whose ef- forts much of the success of the Frontier Days is due, will lend every | assistance possible to Arena Director Ruffner in making the show a lowl- ing success. From far and near the contestants are coming; letters being received from all sections by contestants who are anxiously waiting for copies of the premium list.
 Application for excursion rates have been made. And yesterday, R. N. Fredcricks, president of the Northern Arizona State Fair, in company with Johnny Robinson, chairman of the grounds committee for Frontier Days Is well as the Fair, Lester Ruffner, and II. D.

Johnny Robinson has been busy for several lays figuring out a location for a short line road which will cut off
 he mileage to the fair grounds, thus greatly assisting in meeting the trans portation difficulty. Within few lays plans under this head will be definitely completed.
