 PRESCOTT
(From Saturdays Daily)

'N iiiO'NN bS "dpdl SOulllA TOT al
 least six months in the year. This
 statement was made by George Col
 den, pastor of the Episcopal church in Prescott, at meeting of the Yav- apai County Chamber of Commerce
 held Thursday night. At the pres ent time there are l25 patients at St. Luke's. These patients are not re- strictsd to any particular faith, Mr.
 Golden remarking that at the pres ent time there are more of the Jewish, Roman Catholic and other Proestant denominations than of the Episcopalian faith. The average cost per patient is SIS per week and where a patient IS unable to pay the amount the deficit is made up by the bishop personally, which amounts to from $l0,000 to Sl8;000 a year.
 Owing to the heat in the Salt River valley this change to Yavapai county has been brought about The superiority of the wonderful climate of Yavapai county and particularly the summer months has spoken for itself. The grounds selected by Dr. Golden and which have been ap- proved are nortir and east of Thumb Butte, and takes in co acres. Sum- mer cottages will be erected, friendly house, a girls house, boys house and summer recreation quar- ters will be erected within a very short time. The estimated cost of the work for this year will be $15,- GOO, which money has been raised by the bishop in the east. The corps of nurses and doctors now at St. Luke's will all be moved to the new home. The worthy work which has been done by St. Luke's is well known .througout the state. The question of having the Thumb Butte road improved was brought up and referred for action to the roads and boulevards committee.
 Frontier Days
 Arena Director Ruffner is anxious to have the prize list and rules of the 1920 Frontier Days ready for dis ! tribution as quickly as possible. He asks that every one get into the habit of talking Frontier Days. At ! the present time there are more in ! quiries in from contestants who state that their plans are now well formed | which will bring them to Prescott 1, for the big days than are usually re- ceived in June. The feeling of the cattlemen and the cowboys through out the country shows that they are taking an interest in the big con- tests.
 Homeseekers
 With the view to having the bal ance of the tract of land owned by the chamber of commerce called Pine Crest surveyed and put into condition whereby these lots can be sold to persons desiring the same, z. O. Brown stated that a majority of ! the members of the chamber of com merce did not realize that there were from 40 to 50 acres of beautiful land which could be sold to advantage Within the next few days an inspec- ton of this land will be made by the committee and report of their find ings given to the organization.
 Red Cross Community Work
 For Chairman R. N. Fredericks of the military affairs committee, the secretary reported that considerable thought had been given to the work which has been done under the aus pices of the War Camp Community Service at the parish house Under orders from Washington, the War, Camp Community Service is in structed to close out its business, sell what furniture or fixtures it has and the money is to be sent in direct to the war department. The question as to the continuation of this work was given serious consideration by the executive committee of the Red Cross and special committee ap- pointed by the vice-chairman, con sisting of R. N. Fredericks, F. C. Brown and George Golden, was re- luested to go into this matter in de- tail. As a result of their report and after advice had been received from the chairman, Mrs. Goldwater, who IS in California, and from Colonel Filmer, head of the Pacific division, t was determined to continue this work for a trial period of three The splendid cooperation which has been given in the past will |; DC asked by the Red Cross.
