(From Fridays DaHy.)

] "The Yavapai County Chamber of | Commerce is the best institution of its kind in the state of Arizona, and by the work which it has accomplish ed this tribute is due" Without fur ther comment LeRoy Anderson, who has always been vitally interested in the affairs of Yavapai county, placed in nomination for president, Honor able E. s. Clark, of Prescott. MT. Clark. was unanimously elected to serve this organization as its presi- dent for the year 1920, at last nights meeting of the board of directors.

 R. N. Fredericks, who has served the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce in every official capacity, was again unanimously elected as treasurer for the year 1920.
 Grace M. Sparkes, who has served as the secretary, was again reelected to this important post Malcolm J. Barrett, the efficient assistant-secre- tary, again occupies the same posi- ton for the year 1920.
 A vote of thanks was given F. s. Viele for his splendid services as president during 1918 and 1919.
 In polite society the term that the Chamber of Commerce expects to raise the devil" might not be accept ed, but with the live board of direct ors which constitute this organiza- ton, coming as they do from every section of Yavapai county, this or ganization and its newly elected off cers enter upon the new year with the firm purpose of making it record in the history of the organization.
 Through the support of J. A. Jae- ger, w. w. Midgley and C. C. Stukey, the Yavapai county board of super visors, this organization has reached the proud distinction of being one of the most efficient organizations of its kind in the state of Arizona. This fact is clearly exemplihed when one leaves his own native haunts and listens to the conversation of men in public affairs in the state.

WANTED A LION BUT
 GETS FOOT FROZEN
lFrom Tuesday's Daily.

In chasing a mountain lion on Sun day last, Newton s. Bragg, mining in Copper Basin district, his camp being near the old Hogal placer diggings, met with two misfortunes. He had his right foot frozen and lost his rid ing horse.
 He came to the city yesterday for medical treatment, and two toes will probably be amputated.
 Bragg stated the lion was very hungry, approaching his camp in IS inches of snow less than 25 feet away from the tent, but when he stepped inside to get a gun it disappeared. With him at the time was a miner named O'Grady of the Placeritas sec ton, who had lost his way while on horseback, and taking the horse Bragg started off to follow the trail of the lion. The country is rugged and the horse missed his footing in stepping on a boulder, and ran away after getting on its feet.
 Bragg quit the trail of the lion and walked back to his camp, following the horse tracks. He came into town after realizing his foot was frozen and left O'Grady in charge of his hold ings, with plenty of food for at last a month.

ID SANATORIA IS SIMPLE
r (From Saturdays DaiIy)

Invalid soldiers will be cared for after discharge That has always been appreciated by most folks, but there has been tendency among dis charged men to shy away from the hospitals, on account of the red tape surrounding the entrances thereto.
 There is, however, no reason why any disabled man should not find quick, easy admission under the pro visions of the slowly clarifying war and other departmental regulations.
 The local post of the American Legion has been advised by the com mandant at Whipple Barracks that a new ruling, dated late last month has been received, which says in part:
 Any ex-service man who needs medical or surgical treatment because of illness or injury contracted in the army or navy, can hereafter enter an army hospital, Public Health Service hospital, or local civilian institution or sanitoriun and have all his ex- penses paid by the government. Few soldiers or sailors seem to be aware of this privilege, which is theirs for the asking, and today the war depart mcnt instructed the entire personnel of the office of the assistant to the secretary of war, in charge of soldier employment and welfare work, to bring this to the attention of all such men,.
 Lieutenant Colonel Matthew C. Smith, of the general staff, and head of the bureau, has issued bulletin for nationwide distribution, which says: Any discharged service man whi is in need of medical treatment and feels that his illness is due to wounds or other disabilities received or aggravated while in service, should at once see the nearest army hospital or local representative of the United States Public Health Service for an examination. Addresses may be as certained from the postmaster. The American Red Cross representative and state or municipal health officer also are able to advise service men about their cases and should be con suited.
 If discharge or other papers show ing that the disability was existing at the time of separation from service are available, they should be taken along, as they will be of help in mak- ing a decision on the case. However, if those papers are not available the man should not hesitate to apply. Such an applicant will be immediately placed under treatment pending the receipt of the necessary papers.
 If there is no representative of the health service in the ex-soldier's home town and no army hospital at hand, and it is possible for him to travel, such travelling expenses, hos pital expense and wages lost while undergoing examination will be paid by the government, should it be de cided that treatment is necessary.
 "On the other hand, if the physical condition of the man makes it impos- sible for him to travel, he will be ex- amined and treated at his home. In special cases where it is foundt hat change of climate will be beneficial patients will be sent to specially des- ignated hospitals"

WAFER SYSTEM WOULD NOT ONLY SERVE BUT SAVE IS
 BELIEF OF CITY COUNCIL
From Wednesdays Daily.D

TTOTl w GuHCSudY . CdA4y.J
 Beside better service, the proposed new water system will be more eco nomical than the old, according to a letter that has been sent out by the city council, endorsed by the water committee, and addressed to a num- Der of taxpayers. A saving of $6,6OO year is calculated by the city water department, as one result of the in stallation of the system to be voted on Saturday, January 10.
 The letter in full is as follows:
 The question of an adequate supply of good water for the present use and future growth of our city is again be- fore us for consideration. The pres ent system of pumping from Del Rio, owing to the deterioration of plant and pipe line, is both inadequate and very expensive. The city charter linn its the rate of taxation to S1 per hun dred of assessed valuation of prop erty, and the state law prohibits the issuance of bonds sufficient to pay for replacing new pipe line to Del Rio; and the other necessary improve ments, even if such improvement was considered desirable. The natural. logical and economical source of sup ply is gravity system, and the re- ports of two hydraulic engineers as sure us that we have such a source at our command. The estimated cost of this proposed improvement is $350,- 900, and to raise this amount it is proposed to issue bonds payable in series: $10,000 to be paid each year from the 10th to the 20th year; $15,000 each year from the 2lst to the 18th year; S20,000 each year from the 26th to the 30th year, and $25,O0O each year from the 3lst to the 35th year. These bonds we are informed will find pur- chasers at par, the money derived from their sale is to be spent approx imately as follows:
 Relaying and increasing the size of the supply pipe from Banning creek to the city reservoir, $23,100.
 Pipe line from Hassayampa creek to Banning creek, $48,17O.
 Dam on Banning creek $56.1OO
 Dam on Alder creek, $55,0OO.
 Laterals and diversion dams, $15,3OO.
 Changing city mains to cast iron pipe, increasing sizes, adding new fire hydrants and 40 new valves, $152.35O.
 If the bonds are voted, bids will be invited for the separate units of work. and contracts awarded to responsible bidders or the work will be done by the city as may be the most econom- ical.
 The following is a statement show ing the present producing and dis tributing costs, and the estimated costs under the new gravity system, per month:

 Recapitulation


 Making saving of $550 per month or S6,600 per year. This saving, while gratifying, is merely an incidental The new system would increase our fire protection, and should reduce all insurance rates. The city would have an unlimited supply of good water al its disposal at all times, and would not be dependent upon unreliable me chanical appliances as at present.
 The city council has called all cleo tion to be held next Saturday, Janu- ary 10, at the city hall. The city charter provides that only taxpayers to the city, who are otherwise quail fed, may vote.
 Many of you will remember the scarcity oi water consequent to the burning of the Del Rio plant, and also the bad taste of the water supply during the last summer There is but one way to avoid these disagreeable and dangerous ieatures-vote "yes" on the proposed bond issue.
 The water committee appointed by the mayor has worked overtime with the assistance of the city engineer and water superintendent, and find owing to the poor condition of the Del Rio pipe line that the proposition sub mitted ill this letter is the only safe and economical way of obtaining an adequate water supply and we unan- lmously recommend that the taXpay- CTS Of the city Of Prescott vote "yes" on the bond issue.

SUBMITS AMENDMENT SIMILAR
TO CONFER EFFORT.
Measure Will BesFeusht by Exchange
but Admission Made by Agricul-:
1tuEe Department.

The State.
Washington, Dec; 14.-An amend
Gnent to the cotton futures act, Of
idertical purposes as the amendment
introduced last session by Senator
Conner of Alabama, but which failed
to pass, was presented to the senate
today by Senator Dial Of South Car
olira.
The Conner amendment would have
required cotton exchanges to deliver
to purchasers of cotton one-half in
grades as good as middling. The
Dial amendment provides that the
buyer shall have the right to demand
one-i,alf of the amount deliverable
under contract from two grades to
be specified by him, and tkat the SELL
er shall have the right to tender the
other half Of the amount in two
grades to be specified by the seller.
The present law permits the seller
to tender the amount purchased in
either. of ten grades. Such latitude
granted the seller is unfair, accord
ing to Senator Dial, and permits
stock exchanges to indulge in specu-
lation to the destruction of agcicul-
ture, and the embarrassment of
manufacturers.
Senator Dial declared today that
the department of agriculture which
did not support the Conner amend
ment has capitulated to the extent Of
admitting that the law as it stands
at present is obviously unfair. The
Conner amendment passed the. senate
but died in the house as result Of
opposition of representatives from
Mississippi, louisiana, Texas and
Oklahoma, where low grade cotton is
tl,e principal production. Senator
Dial explains that his amendment
can not be opposed by these repre-
:entatives :lasmuch as 1t does not
eliminate a market 20. he ]ow grade
cotton.
