PROGRAMMED IS NORTHERN
 ARIZ. FAIR
(From Saturdays Daily)

The officers of the Northern Ari- zona Fair Association held a meeting in this city recently for the purpose of considering the new set of articles of incorporation which had been drawn up by Judge John A. Ellis at the request of the organization. Within a span of but six years this association has been built into one of the leading institutions of the State of Arizona. The five counties of Northern Arizona: Apache, Coco nino, Navajo, Monave and Yavapai, can justly be proud of the manner in which this organization has devel- oped. While started on a small scale, it has yearly grown until now its name is familiar in every county of the state.
 The articles as submitted by Judge Ellis were adopted the incorporators of the Northern Arizona Fair Asso- ciation being: R. N. Fredericks, A. A. Johns. F. c. Brown, J. A. Hope, J. H. Robinson, H. D. Aitken and Grace M. Sparkes. The officers are: president, R. N. Fredericks; vice president, A. A. Johns; treas urer, F. c. Brown; secretary, Grace M. Sparkes. The board of directors include the above incorporators, and J. H. Rosenberg and Thomas De vine, representing Mohave county; Hugh Campbell and T. E. Pollock, Navajo county; E. A. Sawyers and ]. w. Richards, Navajo county; Fred T. Golfer and Gustav Becker, Apache county.
 The business and purpose of the Northern Arizona Fair Association has been the advancement of tle az ricultural, mining, stock raising and other interests of the northern coun- ties, encouraging the competitive ex- hibition of the products of the vari- ous industries of these counties and the promoting of the general inter ests of the northern counties. Sci entific information has been dissem- mated to the residents of the north ern counties and to persons interest ed in the various industries of north ern Arizona. Any and all things cal culated to stimulate an intelligent in tcrest in the industries now conduct ed in the northern counties or which may be developed in the northern counties have been done. No mem- Der of the Northern Arizona Fair has profited in a pecuniary way from the corporation and the funds to carry on the good work of the fair have been received from annual dues of the members, by appropriation from the state legislature and by ap- propriation by the boards of super visors of the five northern counties of Arizona. Membership in the or ganization has been limited to bona fide residents and taxpayers of Va vapai, Mohave, Coconino, Navajo and Apache counties.
 The affairs of the organization have been and will be conducted by a board of directors, and by such of ficers as the directors elected or ap- pointed, but particularly by tne eX- ecutive committee of the board of directors, consisting of five direct ors. The governor of the State of Arizona and the chairman of the board of supervisors of each of the above-named counties are ex-officio members.
 Through the good work of the of ficers of the Northern Arizona. Fair Association, the grounds are now free of indebtedness and it is the hope of the officers that the associ- ation will soon be in shape to im- prove the grounds which arc beauti- fully and ideally situated in the pines affording a scenic background which cannot be cqualled by any park or fair grounds in the Southwest.
